  3. Cool another braindead statement from captain Orange of the White House.

    I hate this country so much you don’t even know

  6. I actually love that Clamperl was added to alola, A lot of these mons seem to have been added based on what fits the region best rather than just trying to balance stuff or cater to certain trainers. It’s a nice way to handle the Pokedex

    Reply

  7. Hawlucha being an island one mon was literally the greatest news I’ve heard today.
    That means by Akala I’ll have four of my 6 team members. I’ll have my eevee for glaceon and I know for sure Trapinch is Ula Ula so

    Reply

  8. Since the typings are based on primary types in the leak, who’s to say mons like Arbok won’t have alolan forms with different or new secondary types

    Reply

  11. Well I finally thought of a name for my more demon like Legendary in my game

    Ouroborok- Its based on two different legends. The Ouroboros and Ragnarok

    As it comes along every (insert large amount of time) to create an apocalypse to wipe all life, it then dies and is reborn in a new form and spreads new life to start regrowing, after it regrows the life it leaves to collect more energy for the next apocalypse (as its new form is vulnerable and defenseless)

    There by going threw a rebirth cycle and creating an apocalypse using both of the legends in its lore

  12. The results of are in. It goes Mallow then Kiawe (respectively.) So they made it over halfway so that’s pretty good. We have passed the halfway point. So anyone Mallow forward is halfway!

  14. Ngl, as poorly hyped as it was USUM has one of my favorite Dexes based on what we’ve seen.

    I’m super hyped for Smoochum. Not gonna use it but an early Ice-type? Hell. Yes.

  15. Ok get ready for it… here it comes

    • I really like it! I’ll probably make something like that for my games (that won’t still exist for a long time if at all) soon

      Reply

  17. Here’s the new additions to the Dex so far

    – Ekans line, Seel line, Jynx, Mr. Mime (6)
    – Mareep line, Larvitar line, Houndour line, Smoochum, Heracross, Remoraid line, Mantine, Dunsparce (14)
    – Mawile, Clamperl line, Tropius, Electrike line (7)
    – Buneary line, Mantyke, Mime Jr. (4)
    – Zorua line, Minccino line, Larvesta line, Golett line, Mienfoo line (10)
    – Dedenne, Inkay line, Furfrou, Flabébé line, Swirlix line, Hawlucha, Noibat line (12)
    – Burst, Assembly, Adhesive (3)

    Total – 56/100

    Totally didn’t steal this from serebii lol

    We can presume that the rest of the Mega Evolvable Pokémon besides legends and starters are in the game too

    Reply

  21. 244 Out of the 400 Pokemon we are completely confirmed are in the game

    As of now, the morelull line , Komala, Bruxish, Dhelmise, Minior, and the Silvally line have not been confirmed but it’s safe to assume they are, bringing us to a grand total of
    252 out of 400 Pokemon in this dex CONFIRMED

    Oh and it’s probably 262 cause UBS

    Considering the facts, that’s actually wild

    Reply

  22. If all Mega Evolvable Pokémon are included in the Dex (don’t know if this is someone including starters and legends though because I just stole this from somewhere else) we’ve got 18 slots left in the Dex.

    I’m not gonna lie, I don’t see Alolans happening any time soon. They could always remove Pokémon from the Dex but Mismagius and Honchkrow are most likely just a swap.

  23. AAAARRRGGHHHHHHH THIS ONE OF THE VERY LAST MOONS I NEED AND ITS BEING A BIIIIITCH

    the stupid art puzzle that needs to be like totally perfect

    Reply

  25. So seeing as Hau got Noivern and Hapu got Golurk, what trainer team changes are you expecting?

    Faba – Malamar for any of his mons, I can’t see him keeping Alolan Raichu with an expanded Dex

    Hala – Hawlucha instead of Makuhita/Hariyama or Mankey/Primeape

    Olivia – Tyranitar in her E4 battle over Carbink

    Lusamine – Froslass if Mismagius is pushed back to Poni

    Kukui – Dusk Lycanroc replacing Midday Lycanroc (like N using Zoroark), maybe he replaces Braviary, Magnezone and Snorlax

    Hau – Maybe the stronger starter depending on when/if Lillie becomes a trainer?

    Kukui again – Either no starter or no battle if Lillie becomes a trainer
