  1. Dusk form doesn’t look too great :/ the orange is meh and the green eyes seem out of place. Glad to see old Pokes are getting new forms, though we knew about this for a while now

  2. Good thing I chose to sleep instead, because this new form is terrible. It’s just midday but with a bad colour scheme, why couldn’t it have been more reddish like the fanart?
    Also, if this is dusk, then where’s​ dawn?

      • ??? What do you mean? The 3DS doesn’t need to use color pallets… it’s why X and Y and Sun and Moon shinies generally looks more unique than in previous gens. It’s because they can custom pick the color

        • The prblm with 3ds quality it’s kinda make the color more light ….u can compare Dusk Lycanroc color in the anime and the game.

        • There’s still technical limitations to the color depth, amount of colors at the same time and the shaders that can be used due to processing power, video memory… Not to forget that the screen of the 3DS isn’t of greatest quality so it doesn’t really pay off to invest a lot in programming it. That’s why 3DS colors always look a bit washed out compared to some other systems.

  3. When Dusk form howls, its head looks exactly like the Ultra Sun logo. Which means it’ll have a counterpart=Dawn form confirmed aaaaahhhhhhh

  4. Things I was thinking about:
    – If the dusk form takes only place at sunset then ultramoon players have to wake up at 5:00 am to evolve their rockruff (assuming usum will be set 12:00 hours apart like sm).
    – The dusk form is called Twilight form in German. This could exclude a dawn form cause twilight is good both for dusk and dawn.
    – There’s a possibility for another dusk/twilight form for ultramoon which remembers the ultramoon logo, takes place at dawn and rasembles midnight lycanrock but with the ultramoon logo colours.

    • German doesn’t have a good word for both dawn and dusk, since they are Morgendämmerung and Abenddämmerung (really long words), with Dämmerung being a close and correct translation of twilight but with a different nuance placed on it. Good chance that it will get replaced by something more fitting for both forms or another fitting name for dawn form.

  6. So apparently, in the movie “Ready Player One”, they took out Ultraman (who was in the book) and replaced him with the Iron Giant. Now, I don’t watch Ultraman, but this still sucks. I’m still willing to see the movie, but it’ll annoy me that they took out a character from such a niche franchise, and replace him with the Iron Giant, who doesn’t in this movie.Also, apparently the main character (I forgot his name) was overweight in the book, but isn’t in the movie, that doesn’t bother me as much, but they took out an important subplot by doing that. At least, that’s what I heard.

    • I don’t know if you read the book but a reward for clearing the jade gate was a supersized robot, with Wade being able to choose out of over 20 options, including the Iron Giant. He was thus canon in the books too. And Wade isn’t really overweight in the books, he changes weight a lot, being slightly normal at first, then gaining a lot of weight but when he is hiding from IOI he enables the fitness program and is of normal weight again. So both arguments are kinda bullshit complaints. 😛

  7. So now that it’s confirmed that the new Pokémon mentioned in the reveal trailer does encompass new forms and not just more Pokémon that were not in the Alola Pokedex in SM, I am brought back to this picture. To my knowledge this still hasn’t been debunked as being credible leak. I believe it came out some time in February or March, designs of the starters themselves came were leaked a good portion of time before SM’s release as well. Thus, I feel very strongly that it is a new Alola Form of a Pokémon that we are familiar with. If I am wrong, then it is either a fake leak or it’s a leak of a Gen 8 Pokémon. Now what I want to focus this discussion on is, if it is an Alola Form, what is the original Pokémon?

  8. After sleeping on it, not only was the news not reassuring to those concerned about the games, but it’s actually one of the worst things they could’ve revealed. At a time when people are expressing concern over the game being a cash grab or a pointless rehash, an orange Lycanroc with some extra features wasn’t the way to go.

  9. Yo @Butter Geek, for some reason I can’t view your reply to my earlier post on Pokejungle even though I was sent an email about it. I know that we don’t know that is why I want us to speculate about what Leaked Banana is. If it’s a new Pokémon entirely, if it’s a new Alola form (which I believe it is) and what is the original Pokémon, or if the leak is just fake-most importantly why we think this way or what we base our decision off of.

  10. I have seen a lot of negativity about Dusk Lycanroc. Thus I hope what I have to say will mitigate some of everyone’s concerns. Dusk Lycanroc, in my opinion, is the embodiment of Ash Ketchum. When we first see Dusk Lycanroc we have a pretty positive opinion. However, as we look longer, we realize wow this kind of sucks a little. Then we start thinking of how Ash could have been like Red…I mean how Dusk Lycanroc may be waged potential. There is also the aspect of what appears to be bad marketing. Well Pokémon has pulled through before and it Ash will lose in the league again…wait…I meant that Pokémon will pull through again. Let’s face the facts and just wait until the end of the season for Zygarde to steal Dusk Lycanroc to have him guard a fencepost or something.

    • While these are interesting parallels, it doesn’t change the fact that the cement is drying, and the only imprint in it is an orange dog.

  11. Mayo won the Splatfest! MAYO WON THE SPLATFEST! WITH 27% POPULARITY! I’m actually in shock but I’m extremely happy.

    • It’s not that bad, I think it’s cool. It’ll be better if there’s a Dawn form that is the Middnight model recoloured with elements from Midday.

      Reply
      • It’s literally an orange midday that needs a haircut. The idea is good but the execution is straight garbage.

        Also this doesn’t help the people who are still confused if there are new pokemon in this is technically a form

        Reply
          • …. OHHHHHH nevermind then they are totally different

            But it just shows how shitty the marketing is for this game that they just add to the confusion whenever they can

          • thats all its got, plus the red eyes when it attacks, it doesn’t stop the fact thats it the same model just edited a bit

    • That is my main problem, like it looks fine in the anime but they could have made it’s face and model more ferocious looking to reflect midnight as well.

  12. Im currently editing of midnight lycanroc to make a kinda dawn looking form what color should the eyes and body be?

    Reply
  13. I honestly really love this concept of something halfway between the two Lycanroc extremes. I always thought that the two barely looked related, so this ties things together for me. The orange color is just really nice as well. I just hope that the games have more than just new forms: brand-new Pokémon are highly unlikely, but maybe new UBs could sneak in there?

    Reply
    • I agreee with you on the UBs. I’d prefer if they shift their focus to Alola forms of Johto Pokémon and Ultra Beasts in USUM.

      Reply
    • “. . . will feature Pokemon not previously seen in Alola.”

      Wording still ambiguous. As is the game, other than cheeto dog.

  14. Unpopular opinion: I don’t think we’ll see a dawn form. I think they were already scraping the bottom of the barrel with dusk, and while it’s logical, I just don’t see it.
