[Champ Gold]

Spoiler: MASSIVE S&M Story

Spoiler: seriously don't look if you want to be spoiled

Team Skull is possibly for working with Aether Corporation. There are hints the leaker discovered

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So if I'm remembering correctly the currently unnamed Mons are...

Spoiler

Dewpider's evolution, TCGmon and its evolution, Mr. Krabs' Giant Rusty Anchor, Solgaleo and Lunala's immediate pre evo, and the remaining five UBs.
Am I missing any?


EDIT: According to three others I forgot Mr. Yeti Crab

I've been gone, did they release the typing of dew- yet?

 

[Chrono.]

Spoiler

Bug/Water.

 

[Deleted member]

Just a tease:

Dunno if I'll have Part 2 finished before the election. Got 6/13 pages left to finish (they're all action sequences, so they're easier to do, but still). It'd be a serious bummer if I don't manage to get this out before the result, and he winds up losing. It'd seriously kill all the hype. Real talk, I was actually feeling very confident Trump had it, till the news started surfacing of machines being rigged etc... Now I'm not too sure how it might turn out tbh. I'm gonna have to really grind it out tomorrow, see if I can get it all done, and then viral the **** out of it.

 

[Burruni]

Spoiler

Water/Bug.
Some are SPECULATING it's version exclusive - opposite to Wimpod

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I hope not.

[Burruni]

Spoiler

Pretty sure the leaker was confirmed to be playing Sun.
Good news for you.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I mean I guess they could have been unused but this isnt really a surprise.

Don't ALL games since SS and HG have data for them though?

Since pokemon can transfer between gens and retain the balls

 

[A Distant Demon]

Spoiler

I assume they didn't have actual animations and effects tied to them though.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh man I'm hyped.

I don't know when I can actually get the game though.

 

[Erureido]

Been following those Sun and Moon leaks.

I'm surprised no one has discussed some other story elements yet, mostly related to the teams.

Spoiler: S/M story spoilers

You've been warned

Spoiler: If you really want to know...

Spoiler: Teams of important trainers

Hala's team: Mankey, Makuhita, Crawbrawler

Olivia's team: Nosepass, Boldore, Rockruff

Guzma's team: Ariados and Golisopod

Yes, Guzma's ace Pokemon is Wimpod's evolution. Guzman got 3 times more awesome than he already was!

Plumeria's team: Golbat and Salazzle

Didn't expect her ace Pokemon would be Salandit's evolution, though looking at it now, it fits her.

Spoiler: Other story-related stuff

Three trials total in Akala island: You fight Totem Wishiwashi for Lana's trial, Totem Salazzle for Kiawe's trial, and Totem Lurantis for Mallow's Trial. Of course, after those three trials, you fight Kahuna Olivia.

During the story, you go to Aether Paradise and fight a Level 27 UB-01.

Ultra Beasts are Pokemon from another dimension called "Ultra Space" and they come to the Pokemon world through "Ultra Wormholes"

The third island, Ula'ula Island, is where you fight Guzma.

Ula'ula's Island trials has Sophocles and ghost girl's (from the demo's trailer) trials. Totem Vikavolt appears in Vikavolt's trial while Totem Mimikyu appears in ghost girl's trial.

Team Skull takes over the walled city at one point in the story, That city's name is "Po Town"

 

[Chrono.]

Shout out to the people who post double spoilers so I think twice about my dumb ass spoiling myself.

[Arcanir]

It looks like Lurantis is starting to get into the critical story details, so for anyone following Pokémon sites who want to avoid that, I'd dip out now.

Pretty sure the leaker was confirmed to be playing Sun.
Good news for you.

He said he was playing Moon at the beginning of the thread actually.

Spoiler

So if that theory's true, then we'll have to set up a trade for those two.

Honest question: why the Oshawott hate?

 

[Soul.]

So can Alolan Raichu learn Surf or what?

 

[A Distant Demon]

I don think we've done one of these in a while if at all


http://www.strawpoll.me/11600107



Which starter are you picking/is your favorite/whatever

A bit presumptious since we only got stats for one but you get the gist.



Originally team Popllio and now Team litten for anyone who cares.

Rowlet fan at the start, Rowlet fan forever

I was always a Litten fan, so Litten for me all the way. Rowlett is a close second though.

 

[Coricus]

For some reason while watching Serebii forums discuss the spoilers I had a brief and completely unrelated to Sun and Moon flash of "well if Gen 1, Gen 4, and Gen 2 are all due for remakes at the same time and are geographically the closest to each other I wonder what would happen if you crammed all three regions together" before realizing there's no way to plot-reconcile any of that and the idea is essentially impossible.

. . .Technically it's at least more possible than the "all regions in one game" thing since it wouldn't require gratuitous plane riding/more than double the regions and they're all on the same landmass, although it's still not happening. I wonder what came over me for a moment?

 

[Substitution]

So uh...

I think I won Sonic 1. Not quite sure though.

Honest question: why the Oshawott hate?

Personally I find the Gen 5 starters as a whole to be just there. Don't really stand out, but nothing too horrible to get mad over.

 

[Erureido]

Just of curiosity to those following the leaks, which websites have any of you been following regarding the leaks? I know there was a link to a NeoGAF discussion about them, but I think I might've missed out on another link.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

10 Pages of Sun and Moon leaks. I guess that means three things:
1) More demand to finish Alpha Sapphire, but no more progress reports until I beat the game.
2) Might need to escape Smashboards and other places like that so I can avoid the spoilers (and get on with my studies)
3) See you, Space cowboys... For now... I'll probably come back when my last exam concludes on the 21st, and by then Sun/Moon would have launched, and made some progress in.

Been looking at people discussing it in this Serebii thread.

Other than that I haven't been checking anything except here and said NeoGAF thread.

Honest question: why the Oshawott hate?

To quote Corpse Bride:
"Overrated by a mile. Overbearing. Overblown. Unimportant."
It's highly overrated, poorly design imo compared to the other two, it feels like it wants to be either cute or powerful, but can't decide, making it neither of the two.
It's hard for me to like something that overrated, that also has such a poor design in my eyes.
Mostly just opinions. I think I once watched a video on overrated pokemon that gave iirc good reasoning as to why oshawott is overrated.

Honestly it's the first time I've heard someone call Oshawott overrated. Dewott's the only one of the line with notable popularity, which is sad since Samurott's awesome.
