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’).

Oh, I finally remember the last time I was here (and the first time).
It was when the Chinese leak came out for the starters.
Me: THEY RUINED INCINEROAR GUYS IT HAS TO BE FAKE
Me now; Eh who cares Primarina is pretty and I love it
They gave me Deci so I’m happy!
Honestly I disliked everything except Decidueye when the leak came out, but when I saw the animation, they looked 1000x better.
Game Freak did a great job with doing design focused on looking better with animation and not just on paper.
When I get an Incineroar I’m still going to call it Tony tho
OH GOSH I REMEMBER THAT
I like my moon bat,enough said
YEah!
Everyone, I’m about to go back to school tomorrow for my very last semester of college! AHHH!
Oh sweet, last semester? What major if I may ask?
I’m 2nd semester freshman myself.
Ayy me too!
YAYYYYYYYYYY
We can talk about the terrible times of first year non-major required classes!
YAYYYYYY
Lol I actually got super lucky and knocked out most of them b/c of AP/IB credit. I only have 3 non-major classes; I did one last semester, doing one this semester, and doing one over the summer.
But I’m double majoring so I still have an intensive courseload :^)
Lucky. I took a lot of APs, but because of double majors, I had to knock out a freshman science (Bio), a Writing class, and now I have to knock out Foreign Language.
Oooh I’m so glad I don’t have to do a foreign language. I struggled in highschool with Spanish enough, I don’t need anymore.
I quit Spanish because I didn’t see an interest in going to any Spanish-speaking country (I want to learn languages of countries I want to go to, like French, German, or even Finnish!), and I’m paying the price.
I’m from Miami, so I kind of needed it lmao
Ah.
I’m mainly from Seattle, but I don’t live there anymore (or even anywhere close). I mean I’m in the South now where Spanish is more apparent, but when I get a job, I’d rather work in the NW, SW, or NE if I can help it.
I’m a theatre major but I’m actually pursuing a career in occupational therap and eventually hand therapy! 🙂
That reminds me my friend got theatre as a class and she has massive social anxiety i feel so bad for her
You don’t get to choose? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all day.
yeah its stupid. Near the end of 8th grade they make you plan out all 4 years of highschool. So they expect you to know what you are going to want in 8th grade. The thing is though, if a class is full, and a back up class you chose is full, then they just plot you in any random class. Which is why I’m in Visual Art instead of Programming which I actually don’t mind
Oh that’s stupid, you should get to choose >:(
You really should. I mean, there are a couple kids in my art class who have no interest in art at all which kinda pisses me off because then they aren’t going to get anything out of that class. Put them in something they will enjoy and learn in
1. That’s really dumb.
2. Wait, what language of programming? Just having one class to cover such a broad topic like that just seems a little illogical.
1. Yep yep
2. No idea. I think it was Java then branched out?
No idea. But my school is supposedly the best in the county so I guess forcing kids into classes they hate works
Same, my school is supposed to be the best in the St. Louis area. Which makes me wonder how bad the others are.
Well I know one of them my French teacher used to work there and he told us how awful it was. The ones my old friends from Middle School (miss them so much noooo) went to is probably chill though idk anything about it
🙁 I hope she does okay. Theatre can be really transformational and tons of fun!
yeah. I hope that theatre can actually help her to get over her anxiety instead of making it worse
They do have therapies centered around theatre so perhaps the class could really help!
THEATRE MAJOR! *squeals*
I used to play piano for musicals, and I always wanted to act but I never did except in middle school.
I’m a double major, Music Composition and Psychology. I’m looking into Computer Science tho (and also either Political Science or Economics)
Psychology! OOOOH! I love neuroscience! 🙂
YESSSSS
I used to be Neuroscience, but I changed to Psychology. Bio is just too difficult for me. If there’s any science I’m good at, it’s Physics/Psychology, but I don’t want to be an engineer if I can help it.
Im dreading when I have to take physics
I almost did, but Psychology at my college had a Univariate Statistics that THANKFULLY counted as a science approach with lab requirement, which is what I needed.
SCORE!
Favorite non 2010s musical is Hairspray, favorite 2010s musical is A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder
Im really into Waitress, Next to Normal, The Last Five Years, and of course, Hamilton. Some of my fav plays are These Shining Lives, Noises Off, The Crucible, and Moon Over Buffalo.
HAMILTONNNNNN
I want to see it so bad. Also The Crucible is my favorite play!
My friends just saw it. Without me. SOME FRIENDS. UGH
It’s never come to the states I’ve been in at the times I’ve been there UGH
At least I got to see 2 Broadway musicals at Broadway. That’s all I care about.
Although both Broadway musicals had understudies those nights for their major role it got me SO MAD
Ive never seen a broadway show. SOMEDAY THOUGH
NOBODY CAN REPLACE KRISTIN CHENOWETH
NOBODY
NOT A SOUL
I love Hairspray! That’s it, you’re my new favorite here. :p
Let me play you the song of my people:

SO MANY UPVOTES I WANT TO GIVE
Sophomore in high school, can’t wait to escape
I liked high school a lot XD
I liked high school after I started making friends, so basically just the latter half of it.
Yeah, junior year was when everything opened up for me.
It sucks when you are stuck there 9 hours a day under the pressure of my parents to get straight As with only one friend.
Oh, ouch. I’m sorry about that.
I didn’t have that. My parents stressed me about APs if I can say that.
Don’t feel bad, it’s my own fault really. Also I get that, but I only have one AP currently.
Please don’t feel that pressure. It’s really unnecessary. As long as you’re doing your best at a level that’s healthy for you, your parents ought to be fine. My parents were the same way, but I told them I had to do this for me, not them.
I feel that so much. Any time I’d get a B on some random assignment, my mom would blow up on me. And I’d be like “But mom, I have all A’s still. I have above 100% in my two hardest classes. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT.”
EXACTLY
Glad to know I’m not the only one, and more importantly, I’m glad to know somebody made it through. xD
Yeah it’s pretty demanding. Like I already have a lot of stress issues, I don’t need any more. I learned, as @Wes62518:disqus did, to put my needs, goals, and desires before theirs
I just need to keep pushing on I guess. Switchmas is my next checkpoint.
The only 100+ I’ve ever gotten have been in Music classes or math before Pre-Calc.
I mean I’m great at math, but Pre-Calc onward I got so lazy and it’s all my fault 🙁
I had above a 100% in all my (highschool) math classes, minus Geometry b/c there wasn’t any extra credit.
Same!
Yay, we can share in our mutual pain!
Yup
Wow, good luck! I’m in my final semester of high school myself.
Lucky, you’re almost free from the frying pan (and into the fire, maybe?)
I don’t know, I’d say I’m already free. My schedule is full of classes that I love (anatomy and medical courses), so I don’t feel any normal school pressures. And I’m going to my college of choice, so hopefully smooth sailing from here. 😉
Sounds nice. Currently I only have 1 class that I want to take, and I don’t even have that until February (long-ish story).
I understand. Lowerclassmen get such bad deals with scheduling, but hopefully your last years will be more fun!
Are you ready for the REAL WORLD??
Real world as in a gap year and then grad school hopefully lol
Ahh good luck with that. Same plan with me, minus the gap year. A lot of people are pre-med and I’m like nahhh
I originally was premed!
Oh god I met alumnis on Pre-Med and all they told me was like “Unless it’s not an interest and you really want a job with Pre-Med because you like it, NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE”
Wait, im confused. What did they say?
Basically, unless I really wanted to be a doctor or something that I can do with Pre-Med (because Pre-Med is so difficult), I shouldn’t try. It’s apparently that hard at my college specifically.
Pre med is tough as rocks. (What a dumb saying I just came up with.) But doable. I think they meant that if you arent going to be using it in a career, dont put yoursel through that. It can be grueling.
Your alive How are you?!
It’s doable! 🙂
Thats good
I go back to college on the 15th though. I’m glad to be in one of the colleges that starts the latest.
But it also ends the latest so I guess it’s a double-edged sword.
GOOD LUCK! 🙂
Thanks! 😀
This semester might just kill me though.
I hope it doesn’t. Good luck!
Thanks! My busiest semester, but its all classes in my interests finally.
I’ll have that junior year. Thank god for APs.
Every semester that I remember up until this point (except last semester kind of counted) has consisted of good classes and then one just for a gen ed or in a major i previously had but did not like.
I hate those so much I tried to get rid of all of them my first semester but Tulane puts a block on so many until sophomore smh
Ugh gross. I also have a cadaver lab this semester. Half nervous/ half intrigued.
Oh stupid I just put my college IGNORE THIS
Lol you’re fine. Personally, Im not going to do anything with that info.
Same! Although tomorrow is Sunday for me and I go back monday
I had this on my mind what would y’all think if I made Rock/Ice Rockruff and Lycanroc forms?
I’d be blown away
Good or Bad? Though
GREAT!
Yay only Alola that gets new form
I think an ice/dragon turtonator would be awesome too.
@Malco:disqus I AM SO SORRY FOR THAT
???
We just battled and I won for literally the dumbest reason…
Hahaha, I forgot to replace it with Earthquake for Singles… but GG, it was down to the last mon. 🙂
Yeah!
I am amazed though! I would say the Mudsdale and Tox were the MVPs
I think I may have won if Silvally exploded instead of Z-Moved, or if I sacrificed Mimikyu to one of your sweepers at the end instead of the jellyfish…
Wait Silvally could have exploded?
Honestly? Minior winning won.. I used choice Nihilego and can clearly say that it is TERRFYING
You have multiple Moms?
What, you don’t have a collection like us normal people?
No lol XD (finally used xd face as lol!)
Yeah I have a couple of Marowaks and Kangaskans. <3
Also, for the people who just came in, I edited the post so this might not make sense later.
I know
wait im confused
He said mom instead of mon
oh lol
Night guys!
BYE
Night!
Good night remember u wake up to 4 more days
Good night I’m headed out too now Good night!
NO ONE ELSE LEAVES
except me maybe i havent decided yet
May we branch?
Hehe. Plant puns. 😉
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2729fbfd722ac958f89d4f9fd367c0c11582e2eba611d953469a3cf7d67615b0.png
ah, another who uses puns to distract from the
I might as well do a Pokemon marathon at this point just to say I did (and I’ll get Hoenn out of the way too if I do)
Uh, um…. er, not that Hoenn’s any bad!
http://www.artnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/12-11-CAR-Joe-Sola.jpg
nah hoenn kinda sucks.
I really wouldn’t know. I have ZIP experience, and I don’t count spinoffs.
I personally like the originals more. Mainly Emerald but thats just personal preference
That said, because I’m a fanboy, I defended ORAS’ IGN review anyway.
Who the heck criticizes a Pokemon game for too much water it’s just stupid
Yeah… especially since the original has MORE water
I don’t really like critics anyway. VIVA LA GAMEFAQS USER SCORE
Some fanmons coming in hot!
Or in the case, cold
Not a fan of fanmons unfortunately, but I always love artistry because I can’t draw at all. Period.
Ah :3
Everyone can draw. Just takes practice and the love of making art
Trust me, if you put a pen in my hand and a blank piece of paper, I’d never draw a straight line.
lol neither can I. You just gotta do it and you will get better over time
Or I’d somehow inexplicably have the pen in my eye and someone would have to call a doctor.
I’m a musician. I can’t even draw a note well, but I can play it.
Yeah but still. Anyone can draw if they want to
You don’t have to be any good to enjoy it.
SO how does one learn?
It’s not so much something to learn. It’s like “learning” to talk. You just do it until you perfect it, and you develop your own style that’s different from everyone else. Your skillset is your best teacher.
My skill set!…
I have muscle delays
I have very little focus
I’m paranoid
Welp, this is gonna be a hell of a ride
You got it! Just remember to take breaks if you get frustrated
Okay! THank yew!
That’s the thing though. Your skillset is different from Star’s, whose is different from SPS’, whose is different from mine. These skills make our art different. If all art was conventionally perfect there would be no incentive to draw in the first place!
True!
just draw. draw everyday and draw a bunch of different things, draw in different styles, watch speed arts then draw. Show people your art, get honest criticism and take it. Use that to improve your art!
It is just like anything else. You just have to do it and practice you will get better.
Okay!
*uses never ending nightmare*
next turn: oh its over
Oh no, it’s still there. You just don’t realize it because the pokemon fainted, so now it’s internalized :^)
Have fun scarring pokemon for life!~~
i was just shitposting though fam i didnt ask for reality
I know 🙂
@starstorm295:disqus not to plug shamelessly, but how do you feel toward Ice types?
I DIDNT SEE THIS WAS ONLY TO STARSTORM BUT I STILL GOTTA ANSWER IN ALL CAPS CUZ ITS MY FAVE TYPE SORRY
SORRY I JUST UPVOTED IN YOUR CONVO BUT ICE/BUG UGH LOVE MEH SOME ICE TYPES I SHOULD TURN CAPS LOCK ON IF IM GONNA TYPE THIS LONG AND ALSO USE PUNCTUATION.
*From across the room* jeez what a spaz.
😀
I like them alot! Second favorite type behind Faries
COOL! I SAID NOT TO PLUG CAUSE
Well, that fanmon I’m posting… You’ll LOVE this one.. I think
Ice/Fairy?
Ice/bug, but wait till you find out the concept :3
IT EVOLVES INTO A BEAUTIFUL FAIRY?
No, but it IS a very beautiful mon :3, you’ll see why
Well then fuck man hurry up and post it I like beautiful pokemon
I love that these mascots are exactly tied right now with 251 votes. That’s the first sign of a good game design.
Alternatively they could be equally bad and people just voted for least worst. Not my opinion but a possibility.
Hi, haven’t met you yet! 😀
Hello, I’ve met you, you just did’t know it.
Ah, ok. Well, uh… it was nice to meet you!
I’m inside your walls.
O.O
Ooh we got ourselves a pessimist. lol (did i spell that right?)
Just pointing out another view is all.
lol i was just kidding. 🙂
Hey, someone’s got to play devil’s advocate.
https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/the_sake_of_argument.png
I got Pokemon Sun 2 days ago but I think the Moon is more interesting so Lunala was my vote.
I liked the pokemon better in sun except I like lunalla better.
I like everything about Moon more than Sun. :p
See I was more of a fan of passimian, vulpix, tortunator, etc. but I liked lunalla and beauty better.
Could be that they both just new and people haven’t formed strong opinions for either one yet.
Why would anyone even have a level 54 Pikipek, let alone Wonder Trade it. If you’re gonna put in all that effort then throw it away what was the point?
Poke Pelago. 😉
Oh I don’t have that yet. When can you go to it?
After completing Kiawe’s trial.
OK thanks.
I present to you: PokeJungle
Starring StarStorm as the little girl
@PrinceFae as the guy who gets up at the end
And @EarthenWarrior as the fire place
https://youtu.be/GzgavGowD_A
Why is this on AFV this is morbid to me
Oh I don’t know I just found it in a playlist of important videos and thought of Earthen
I love the mother
“Oh no..”
But who’s the Flutterbye Fairy?
(Also it really puts the “bye” in Flutterbye, doesn’t it! :))
Ok first, nice and second, all fairy types I guess
accurate

Special Attack: 50
Special Defense: 35
Speed: 40
Base stat total: 205
Pokedex Entry: A larval stage bug pokemon that is known for its thick fuzzy wool which keeps it warm and prevents even strong forces from hurting it. They usually live in snowy climates but can live pretty much anywhere if it does not have extreme heat. Strangely enough, they can prey on small bird pokemon due to their frigid silk. People with entomophobia are usually put into a room with one for therapy. The cute appearance of this bug wins them over in the end.
Pokedex# 17

Special Attack: 50
Special Defense: 65
Speed: 20
Base Stat Total: 265
Pokedex Entry: After a Larvooly goes into hibernation, it forms a transparent cocoon around itself. Although asleep, the cocoon is covered in clear hairs that prevent any sort of disturbance from being caused in it. It is often shown to young children to teach them about evolution as it is not only very sturdy, but it also lets them see the process of metamorphosis in action.
Pokedex# 18
Prismoth
Classification: Fuzzy Moth Pokemon

Typing: Bug/Ice

Pokedex Entry: After emerging from its cocoon, it bursts free in a crystal-like explosion. It’s entire body is transparent and coated in an invisible fur that lets light get through. It can reflect light into a rainbow trail when it makes contact. At night it is said to cast a majestical blueish purple ray of light around itself and everything around it. Due to the fur, it feels as soft as a teddy bear if touched.
@starstorm295:disqus @disqus_cyARk9QaAF:disqus
I figured you guys might like this one
@Ultron6:disqus You too!
I do really like it! it’s like an ice Volcy! :3
So I’d love feedback
I love that you made it a tool for teachers. Such a cute tidbit of info.
Thanks! I’ve been trying to explain how my fakemon are in every day life, like how the regional rodent is a sensory assistant to the deaf or blind. Also, I was made to take care of a caterpillar when I was little so
Love the names. I think it would be cute if your larvae had a shawl like a appearance with its fur and you could call it “glashawl.” the whole line could be very fashionable since Prismoth is so regal.
😀
I’ll give that some thought! 😀
Lol cool. Do you have drawings for them yet?
I can’t draw.. at all XD
Not till I learn how
Mind if i take a shot?
I mean sure, but they probably look a lot different than in my head XD
I’ll still love em tho!
Okay. I already have the first one done. It will likely look so different than what you’re picturing. and forgive me, but i am not an artist.
Okay! 😀 I look forward to it!
Here’s what I got (the images are sideways) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9289f635a88e6d8549a2297d36ac4ac668fd0d344680bb9476ccab6caf0265a8.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/558762eac2d022ee96b7618c2df14da45a559cab11d5bdbce730d10f5190a167.jpg : the first one took inspiration from those hats typically seen connected with Russian cultures (if I’m remembering correctly) and that big fluff on top of his head is her fur. She holds the rest of her fur like a shawl around her.
The second, while I’m not a fan of it looking like a bean, took inspiration from a stocking cap.
The third did not fit on my scrap paper but has a more regal feel and I took inspiration from stain glass windows.
Hope you like them. Thanks for curing my boredom. This was fun and quick! 🙂 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2b51423f964a6b567f2f18a91f350bcf6809c98005a351bfb65937b71e3146a3.jpg
Holy crap! These look really good!
I especially love the way you drew Prismoth!
Aw thanks! Larvooly is my favorite cuz he looks really warm.
:3 Larvooly is always gonna be a fave. He’s used in therapy to cure a fear of bugs for a reason!
Also prismoth should probably have arms…
😀
OOPS SORRY I WAS WATCHING… VIDEOS
I LOVE IT OMG I WANNA DRAW IT IM GOONA DRAW IT TOMORROW
I WANT THIS TO BE A REAL POKEMON
😀 THANK YOU!!! 😀
NOO BUT SERIOUSLY MAKE THIS A REAL POKEMON GAME FREAK
😀 I wish!
Can you do sketches of them so I can draw them? I’ll probably start drawing when I inevitably get tired of working on Rad Red
I wish… once I learn to draw of course
Dude those are my ideas
A fuzzy caterpillar into a crystal cocoon (you even stole the name Kristasis) and finally a bug/ice moth with crystalline parts
Again, I’ve never seen them
I based them off a certain animal, we might have both just seen that animal and made a pun for the cocoon name. When was yours even posted?
So, uh…. What’s everybody’s favorite Pokemon game?
Sun/Moon >->
HG/SS is a close second
I know yours, XD
HGSS then maybe SM and XY
HGSS for sure
Platinum.
ORAS
Pokemon white/black
ORAS as well 🙂
I voted Lunala but that’s probably Moon bias
although i bought Moon cuz of the design anyways
as for the competitive sector, Lunala has been much more useful in Showdown so
Oh hey someone I know on here
*know is on here
🙁 Everybody left
rip
Well it is late. I’m still here mostly because I”m a night owl and usually here in the shadows until 3 am est.
Tomorrow I’m revealing one of two final legends I’ll reveal for a while
And it’s BIG news… and I mean REALLY big news
Yes, Silvally could’ve exploded. 🙂
XD not that
For my fangame… A REALLY BIG piece of news
Damn! I got a communication error during a GTS trade and the only thing it allowed me to do was to turn off the 3DS. Seriously, I got scared as hell, I thought my game went haywire and my save file got corrupted or something. Does this happen frequently?
No, but you’re probably banned from trading for a few days
Yeah, I saw that warning when I went back to the GTS. Pretty stupid measure if you ask me.
Yeah 🙁
btw, Solgaleo was winning the poll, now Lunala surpassed it. How? What happened?
Because Lunaala is the best ?
because outside of this site Lunala is more popular
Somebody went to a library or something and voted on all of he computers.
When I’m done tomorrow, Wailord will look small ;3
No
Yes
My big news is a fanmon…. and it’s HUGE
Even though I haven’t even finished it, I can already see the salt my fangame’s elite four will cause
