Pokémon Mascot Showdown: Generation VII

Hey everybody, due to certain circumstances, we’re bringing you the last regional Mascot Showdown a little bit later! The winner of the last showdown is Xerneas with 53%.
Let’s move on to our last region: Alola. This brand new region is the startpoint for Generation VII – bringing incredible, new features like Trials, Z-Moves, the Battle Royal, Poké Rides, regional variants and so much more!

Pokémon Sun Version

Pokémon Sun featured Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon, on its cover. It resembles a more robust white lion design complete with a galaxy motif on its forehead. Its crownlike spikes and its tuffs of fur around its head resemble a sun. Among the people of Alola, it’s known as the beast that devours the sun and has therefore been honored as its emissary.

Solgaleo is the only known Pokémon that can learn the move Sunsteel Strike. Along with Lunala, its counterpart, it’s the only Legendary Pokémon that’s part of an evolutionary line. Not to mention it also has the highest HP-stat of all Steel-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘sol‘ (Latin for ‘sun’), ‘Galileo‘ (the man who proved that the Earth rotated around the sun) and ‘leo‘ (Latin for ‘lion’).

Pokémon Moon Version

Lunala, the Moone Pokémon, graced the cover of Pokémon Moon. It’s a large skeleton-like bat whose wings seem to resemble the moon, and are made of the night sky. Much like Solgaleo, it can travel between our dimension and the Ultra Space. Additionally, it’s called the beast that calls the moon, thus gaining the title “emissary of the moon” by the Alolan people.

Lunala‘s signature move is called Moongeist Beam. While Solgaleo is called the male evolution of Cosmog, Lunala is called the female one. Its name derives from ‘luna‘ (Latin for ‘moon’) and ‘ala‘ (Latin for ‘wing’).

  1. I finally finished the intro for my game! It took me way too long to do, but I’m satisfied with how it turned out! It’s somewhat long (but not as long as S/M’s lol), 3 minutes if you blast through it.

  2. I’m not sure who’s side I should be on.
    He does bring up a point about SOCIETY is kinda against White Males, but that does not belong on this site.
    As I am conservative, I agree with some (not most) of his points but these topics belong on a Politics thread.

    • I think it’s misleading to label “society” as being against white males. Maybe it comes across that way if you’re a conservative in a very liberal area, but from my personal experience, white males tend to have an advantage in many things.

    • Society is not against white males, they’re just trying for equality. When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. Sorry, it’s the truth, and this is coming from a white male ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    • Ehhh not really? Like I think its more that its racial minorities sick of white people kind of ruling everything if that makes sense? Cuz there is still quite a bit of racism and even some institutionalized and its just lashing out at the perpetrators. So like when there is a BLM protest (not the super crazy riots like just words) and someone says something like “Fuck white people” that person probably doesnt thing all white people are racist monsters.

      IDK if what im saying is making sense, but I think its just trying to put everyone on an equal playing field. So people want less white males in their movies and more diverse characters for example. I mean Starwars (original trilogy) is amazing. So is Force Awakens but now you have characters for girls and colored boys to look up too.

      • Reading your comment made me think of something. Earlier this year, my school brought in this lady to talk about racism in our community, and she told us that all white people were racist regardless of our own fault in the issue.

        Just a random memory that came back lol

      • I don’t watch movies to have myself represented.
        If a movie had a cast of all blacks, I wouldn’t care, it’s a movie and if it has a good plot, I will watch it. This is what some people fail to grasp.
        When you say “F- White People” you said ‘White people’ which includes every white person.
        Someone from Chicago got tortured the other day by some people yelling “F- White People” and the Prosecutor questioned if it was a hat crime or not. If it was the opposite, it would be 110% hate crime.

        I have views too, but at this point there is racism from both sides.

        • I can agree with you here on the generalization part. I tend to stay far away from absolutes (always, all, every, etc.) for personal reasons. I dislike it when people are around me and they say “All white/straight/male people do/think X”, because I’m like, no that’s not true, here I am!

        • First off, I just wanna say thanks for being respectful about this.

          yeah like a movie being a good movie is the most important. But I think when you are in a place where you see yourself represented in media it doesn’t really seem off to you. (not blaming you for anything at all). For example, seeing LGBT representation in media has changed my life because it was my only real way of seeing that it was okay and I didn’t have to be ashamed of who I am.
          Representation is so important for people. And including more kinds of people doesnt mean that straight white men wont still be there.

          And now this stuff is kinda touchy. Like yeah but I mean the person yelling that probably doesn’t hate white people. They are fed up with institutionalized racism and just racism that lingers in general and its alot easier to say “White People” instead of “White people who are racist”. I don’t really fully agree with it but I understand why they say that and what they mean.

          Now that Chicago situation was total bullshit. That was so clearly a hate crime.

        • Um, it did happen in 2015. 3 highschool football players raped a black disabled classmate with a coathanger. Wasn’t charged as a hate crime despite them making him chant KKK lyrics. It was deemed sexual assault. Just saying, it’s already happened. Things are not black and white, you can’t say it’d 110% be a hate crime if flipped.

    You should know you do have some points but they do not belong a Pokemon site and everytime you come back you just sound dumber and all in all I don’t like you and when the guy who likes everyone (literally everyone here I like) says that he doesn’t like you know you have a lot of problems

  4. Wait where did this white male discussion come from? I thought this was a Pokemon website to talk about games and media, not politics and racism/sexism.
    I’m new here so I’m not exactly well informed, but is this a thing?

  6. AHEM
    Someone has already accused me of being Ziggy

    Just because I’m conservative doesn’t mean I’m him, I am just another human being like you, with opinions.

    Some people have varying views and in this case, I’m a minority on this comment thread. So calm down.

  11. I love how everyone makes Greg Universe out to be this kind man who loves everyone but in reality, he’s a beta male who’s a failure of a father (The episodes where’s his manager comes back is a good example of this.)

    He represents the worst of what masculinity has to offer and, unlike Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin, he has no redeeming qualities.
    If you want to be more like Greg, shame on you.

  12. I might as well introduce myself since I think I’m going to stick it here because I like it here.
    Don’t read all this because this is probably going to be long and I’m going to get carried away unless you want to idk.

    Hey, I’m SlightlyPridefulShadow but I’m mostly known as ShadowSect as it’s my usual username. I’m a freshman college student (not giving locations because that’s private) on an upcoming 2nd semester, and I’m huge video gamer and used to be a gigantic Pokemon fan.

    I started with Pokemon D/P/Pt (specifically Diamond), went back to FRLG, and then played pretty much every Pokemon game after until XY came out, and I just stopped playing. I have yet to play a Hoenn game (you can kill me now) or Gen 6/Gen 7, but I’ve been thinking about going back to Pokemon since I played Yellow recently for the first time. My favorite main series Pokemon game is currently HG/SS, and I’m currently playing G/S/C. My favorite Pokemon game in general is PMD: EoS though (PMD fans ftw I hope they exist here)

    Hmm…. I’m also a huge Nintendo fan, with Zelda being my favorite Nintendo series (sorry Pokemon), as I’ve played almost every Zelda game, and I also enjoy Mario, Metroid, Kirby, etc. Super Smash Bros. 4 is my favorite game of all time (though I’d never call it the best, it’s just my favorite), and it’s my favorite Nintendo series too (it’s an all-Nintendo game how could it not)
    I play a lot of other video games too (most notably Mass Effect my favorite non-Nintendo series), but I’m just really hyped about the Switch because Switch. If you’re curious, my 10 favorite games from worst to best are Danganronpa, Undertale, PMD: EoS, ALBW, MGS3, HGSS, Okami HD, MM3D, Mass Effect 3, and Smash Bros. 4

    What else…. Well currently I’m playing some really old games because I like doing that. I’m a (hopefully) growing game reviewer on GameFAQs for really old games, so I just kept doing that. The only game I’ve reviewed that wasn’t old is Okami HD if you care.
    Other than games, I’m a very small anime fan of very few animes (mostly FMA:B judging by my image lol), I’m a Doctor Who fan, and I also like a lot of movies too.
    That’s my shtick. I hope to not be too bothersome on this site lol

  13. Ok here’s the intro for my game! Some notes:
    -I just realized the bg music is just what I was playing, so excuse that? There wouldn’t be any sound otherwise so you can just mute it!
    -Some parts of the video lag, but the game itself is fine
    -The Intro I thing shouldn’t appear, I know how to make it go though
    -The dragon looks pretty derpy
    -Characters have codenames, I haven’t figured out any actual names
    -That’s clearly not a Latios
    -Night is pretty dark
    -Need to add swimming pokemon. Also not hard, I just haven’t done it.

    Here it is!

  14. Quick random question: Has anyone here watched No. 6? I’m watching it now for the third time, and it always hits me right in the feels. (It’s a very short anime. I’d highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it.)
