How? Which relative worked for Pokémon?
A pen pal who’s friends with my 4th cousin’s girlfriend who knows the assistant security coordinator of the office manager’s husband at GameFreak
This is the most legit sounding source I have heard so far in the comments section.
Please no
Bulbapedia is messing up for me real hard
Here’s my regional form of everybody’s (I don’t really know why) favourite regional birb!
Slavian Starly
Psychic/Flying
A long, long time ago near a nest with Starly eggs a small metorite crashed. It contained a radioactive crystal that mutated the hatchlings. They have cosmic powers.
Evolves at level 14 into:
Slavian Staravia
Psychic/Flying
They watch Stars, Slavian Staravia base their whole life cycles around their locations. Many astronomers have them as partners, as Staravias know as much about constellations as they do.
Evolves at level 34 into:
Slavian Staraptor
Psychic/Flying
They live alone on mountains and high buildings watching the Stars. If they won’t see the night sky for more than a week it’ll be drained of its energy. People said if they wanted Slavian Staraptor could fly to space and live there.
SIgnature Ability:
Night Sky power
Cosmos related moves have a 1.25 boost in power in the day and a 1.75 boost in power in night
Opinions?
I like the idea of a Radioactive bird that makes the sense of STARling
Don’t you go dumb on me too
Well the fact of Stars being represented by Psychic types
It’s an odd idea, but a neat pun to use
BUT IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH STARS
Now it does. It’s based on a pun. And also, what do you think is the ethymology of the word “starling”?
Starling
Etymology
From Middle English starling, sterling, sterlinge, from Old English starlinc, stærlinc (“starling”), from stær (“starling”) + -linc, -ling (diminutive suffix). Cognate with Middle Dutch sterlinck (“starling”).
I’m getting a sudden urge to start a Sun and Moon comic series….
Like funny comic or serious?
Would it be about you or an OC
Serious.
And it would be about Moon, Lillie and Hau. Like the game plot bit with my own kinda spin on it (better character development, back story, etc)
Oh btw way Dusk Lycan already has lewds
like i said people work fast…

How much did u post that meme?
idk i just like it
I’m not surprised

Help me, I can’t stop myself from singing most of these songs.

THIS is what i want to see
I mean I guess
they finally gave Midnight a tail that bugged me so much
OMG THATS WHY MIDNIGHT HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME HE NEEDS A TAIL
(I honestly can’t tell if your serious or not)
but yeah i wish Lycanroc Night had a tail
http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/media/uploads/sept_20_assets/lycanroc_midnight_form.png
no i am serious he needs a tail badly
i mean there was no reason to not give it a tail
also if they were gonna fix something it would to make the arms a bit thicker and its body not so…..noodle like
He disguised to look like a sheep
Are you trying to tell me that anyone would think Lycanrock looks remotely like a sheep?
he’s talking about an idiom
I know but still
nope ………..he is tricky,he used that to tempt his prey
I don’t remember sheep being bipedal or red.
funny you should say i’ve been wanting to make this Wolf Sheep pokemon for a while
it looks like a sheep but has a monstrous hidden maw that eats pokemon
aka a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Sometimes I feel ur the only one who understand me here.
Tis a blessing and a curse
Hell yeah
Like it would be a pure dark pokemon
it would normally look like a docile fluffy pokemon “like a cloven hoofed ball of fluff with a vague head shaped appendage sticking out, but it’s really just a gigantic fang filled maw that devours pokemon mercilessly but when onlookers are nearby it plays innocent
Me too but at the same time I like them being add some darkness at the rock type ……I mean common Fire, Rock, Ground, Poison, Psychic, Bug and water some times all of them have a dark side so I don’t mind see some creepy of these
this is a totally unrelated pokemon
There is a mythical creature has humanoid body shape with demon tail and kinda bat wing …..it turn to a stone when he sleep I mean this one what it’s called? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/82/41/f9/8241f938ab27f907ba55dc10eb1cd8d7.jpg
dude Gargoyle that’s like easy
Yeah that’s it …….I didn’t remember english names sometimes.
It’s alright
I would love this actually. I still hope Rock type for it though

R O C K S U C K S
Well opinions are opinions
Cause I think Flying Sucks (No offense Ithsme ‘•_•)
WHY WOULD YOU WANT ANOTHER PURE ROCK TYPE DOG LIKE… YOU HAVE TWO OF THEM
Because it was one of the Stars of my team
…. but LIKE WHATS THE POINT THEN?? IF ITS THE SAME TYPE
So? we have 3 different Dragon/Flying types that are all based on the same thing. So why not 4 Wolves?
because they are all the same pokemon with the same shitty stats then you want to add two more? Like im sorry but thats just really freaking ridiculous

Oh my god yes
She doesnt actually look like this most of the time tho
So i’ve lost track of time today and it’s already 7:30 (granted i’ve been stuck at the vet for 3 hours)
So what are you turds doing?
cant decide if I want to play Splatoon, play Overwatch, draw, or develop this comic idea
do them all at the same time
I would if I could
well divide into four different Stars
wouldnt that also split my abilities so all 4 stars would suck at the thing theyre supposed to do?
huh good point, i was going for the whole divide your base personalities and you’re only a quarter as good but 100% devoted to it
hmmm… maybe, but even then two of them take technical gaming skill and the other two take creative skills.
well also you’d take a intelligence drop so yeah
I made what Earthen showed Purple because why not
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bce9a90b5b0ad1b8eabadd3f34399a89d98e984ce8f1b0186da3a106691b16de.png

i mean thats how i make shinies 😛
but i purposely edit certain sections on its own
the mane should be smaller
Ur face should be smaller
It would If I wouldn’t eat so much
Could you do pink? It is technically the color of a sunrise.
I need a name but this is my Fakemon concert doodle https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d64b31e20713f4e964f160ff96fe37c1387cb2e4aaf1ccfab82cbd5fb91dddca.jpg
its a what?
a play on the idiom a Wolf in sheep’s clothing
it’s a pokemon that looks like a harmless fluffy ball of fur, but it’s really just a gigantic fang filled mouth that attacks when alone
that black horned thingy is basically the equivalent of a lure but instead of attracting prey its supposed to disguise itself
stoolgusie? idk sounds like suprise im not cute but deadly
I wanted to research yokai to see if anyone of them matched this thing
otherwise i need a word that means docile and dangerous
Stoolie lol
How Gamefreak made dusk form
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7f6b5143972ac3ccc159840934716bdcf28395acc92a50cfa7e7191161710edf.gif

Alright, I’m ready to blow my brains out, how ’bout you peeps? Password’s dusk999
So this has raised my hopes a little bit for USUM in terms of new Pokémon forms.
https://twitter.com/PokeshopperVGC/status/894672536272875524
Wait it didn’t show the entire conversation. He is talking about how he is meeting with someone working on USUM merchandise.
well we’re bound to have some kinda info come Thursday
That is true. I am more focused on how many forms we are getting. From his wording there will definitely be more than just Lycanroc.
well my best bet is legend forms, i’m very much pro Tapu Animal forms (despite the fact they’ll most likely be a pain in my behind)
I’m hoping for more Ultra Beasts and/or Alola forms. The lore of the former is still quite mysterious by Pokémon standards.
as it pains me Alolan forms are very real threat, since they are technically forms they do not use a dex slot
Why thursday?
I believe that there is a merchandise reveal on that day. Someone please correct me if I am wrong or if there is another reason.
ah okay thanks
Because that’s when the episode debuting Dusk Lycanroc so it’s bound to happen, maybe not much but info nonetheless
If u think about it …..Decidueye cover the head, Incineroar cover the upper body, Primarina cover the lower body that not a coincidence wat the hell is that mean??
Just a standard character design thing. It’s a principle of small medium and large and covering parts of the body do that well
not that easy
Or maybe you’re just overthinking things.
Actually it is
come on how’s that could be a coincidence…….actually u just want me to look wrong
So how’s everyone doing
Oh boi Uranium can be randomized
Ooooh. Zapdos the best bird to use in battle. Zapdos has honestly been my luckiest Legend. Both of my Zapdos have HP Ice and I didnt try for either. They also have very high Special Attack. Im so shocked. But I dont have GO! soooooo no Zapdos for me. Weird that they put MolTRES before ZapDOS
lol thats actually funny but i mean ironically articuno was first since blue team won the failed pogo fest
Found another USUM leak:
-New Alolan forms, exclusive to gen 2
-There is no Dawn form for Lycanroc but Dusk is very useful. has a new ability and secondary typing
-Guzma is the Kahuna of Ula’Ula
-Nanu is in the elite 4
-Kahili is a trial captain
-The starters share a new secret
-Dream Park is real
-Cosmog are a common Pokemon in Ultra Space, they are formed by crystals. When these crystals become corrupted or shattered, they turn into Necrozma
-New forms for Ultra Beasts
-Gyms are back, and the trial captains are its leaders
I’m fine with ALL of this… Like REALLY fine with this
Like please for fucks sake I want this to be real
No
I want a dusk form :[
I hope this is the real deal type of leak
-No
-No
-Yes
-No
-(did you mean hau?)
-No
-wat?…
-Meh
-No
-Yes
A new trailer has come out and is that a Jojo reference?!
https://youtu.be/7KLn48m8i6Q
Just a heads up to all Zelda Breath of the Wild players:
Starting tomorrow, i think on the switch only, you can access a news channel that, after you update today, can offer you free items in game when you go through links on the news channel to open the game, neat little feature~
Oh dang
Just when I needed that one minute level I Stealth elixer.
I need it
https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/894891031409250306
*drools*
isn’t it beautiful
it would’ve been perfect if the black hinges were green
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1502195362364.jpg
They’d have to make a Mamoswine too and it’s not from gen 2
This isn’t real… is it?
Nah. Look at my comment to see why
One of the few leaks I want to be real
Why?
What do you mean why? It’s funny af
From all the leaks, the impossible pineapple is your fav?
I didn’t say it’s my fav, but I still like it :p
Mamoswine ain’t gen 2
NWC is coming back! . . . in the middle of October?
While this is awesome and it means we’ll probably get a direct or something around then, why would they do it now instead of E3 or Gamescom?
Qualifying game is MK7? Why not Deluxe, which you’d think they’d want to promote?
Oh my GOD guys, I NEED that Metroid New 3DS XL. I’m going to replace my plain black one with it. That came so far out of left field.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/470ef901210263d7561827e949b3c70536ca3923cc3fe2d640703b1979b93c0b.jpg
Real?
Idk but it looks like its using a Fire move in the bottom right of the page. Lmao Fire/Rock is an awful type combination ngl
Does it match the animation of any known fire-type move? It could be a new move entirely. Kind of like how Lycanroc-Midday got Accelrock.
Honestly I personally haven’t given much thought to a potential Dawn form (or whatever you wanna call it) myself. I’m extremely hyped for the upcoming Anime episodes rn due to Ash’s Rockruff evolving lol
Look at my comment above that I just posted. I was wrong about my speculation.
I don’t know if they needed a whole two-page spread dedicated to a single Lycanroc form. I have no idea what Game Freak is thinking anymore.
It could be fake
This honestly seems to be something that Gamefreak would do. I am leaning towards that these leaks are real. It doesn’t scream fan service at all and instead screams minimal marketing, which is the stage that Gamefreak is still at for now.
Idk if it’s fake because the guy also leaked images unrelated to pokemon as well
Wow Two Pages showing off Lycanroc. There better be something explaining it.
Reading the Japanese it says the following:
Lol, you thought we would reveal more?
Yes. Yes I did think you would reveal more
I thought that you would use at least 4 pages to cover the new Lycanroc form. Shame on you for only using two pages!
6th of my new Slavian Form
Slavian Kricketune
Bug/Flying
At night they fly through the air singing their song. They attack by making their song louder to the point of making their enemies deaf. People said that they can fly as long as they are making music.
Signature ability:
Flying Musician
Sound related moves are Flying type moves when Slavian Kricketune use them
Opinions?
Well Joe just put the image up on Serebii, so there is like a 95% of the recently leaked Coro Coro image being real. Supposedly it gets both Accelrock and Counter and its ability is Tough Claws. There is now word on its typing but I am airing on a pure Rock type.
I meant “no word”.
Rock/Fighting PLEASE
Rock/Dark for Dawny
From the way it looks like, I don’t think there is going to be a Dawn form. It was just given the signature moves of the other two forms. What would they do to differentiate from the other three Lycanroc forms.
It could have same/simmilar movesets and abilities, but a diffrent look and typing
Its Rock/Fire
Really?
Source?
Speculation at this point, but in the bottom right corner of the page it seems to be using a Fire move.
You don’t have to be a fire type for that
Couldn’t that move be Howl? I haven’t seen the animation for that move in a while in SM so I am not sure.
Ngl I’m Ok with rock type but they should give it a different typing so it doesn’t feel more like a Midday form clone than it already is
Serebii states that there will be a special Rockruff distribution for USUM starting at November 17th. I guess that this is the only way to get Dusk form smh
Additional details: The special Rockruff will hold a Lycanroc Z-Crystal
I’m getting it if they won’t show anything better
That guess is still a guess. We aren’t certain as to what the special way is to evolve a Rockruff into its Dusk form. Although that is a good assertion since they already got Night and Day covered.
