This starters having multiple evos idea just seems stupid on the conceptual level. The Starter is supposed to be a dependable, above average Pokemon for you to use as the backbone of your team. Introducing all these gimmicks makes it so that if you don't know what's up you'll end up with a form you don't like/doesn't work with the rest of your team.

On one hand, you're right, on the other hand, having multiple final evolutions for a starter means there are more possibilities on what you can pick, which in turn, can enhance the experience and/or replayablitity

That could happen even with a single evolution...having multiple versions allows for more options...

Edit: Searching around, the three names of Fukorou (or Fukuroh), Tora, and Aniku keep popping up together but not finding a clear source for the names themselves. Some claiming to be on the concept art images themselves?
They indeed are on the concept art and they are probably nothing more than codenames.

Tora literally just means Tiger, after all. The other names have similar extremely simple meanings.

most people hate that were getting it a 4th time others have the petty reason that "its bipedal" because solgaleo totally isnt a quadraped or anything
Solgaleo isn't a Starter, the issue people take with that is that it's the 7th time a Fire Starter are bipedal, unlike the other two groups, which vary. The closest one to not being bipedal is Typhlosion, and it's still portrayed as bipedal in many of its appearances.

It's probably also not helped that this would be the third time in a row that a quadrupedal base form became bipedal upon evolution (Tepig, Fennekin, and now Litten).

GameXplain with some gameplay on AM2R...
Keep in mind this is the 'final' version which may feature some changes from the demos released through the years...

Didn't one leak (the original one with the final starters) state that "Marshadow's" typing would be "very unique"?

Pretty sure "Malshadow" being Dark/Fire would be the opposite of unique considering Houndour and Houndoom exist.

(As well as "Tora", which was claimed to be Fire/Dark as well.)

A couple of silly photos I took on the tedious journey home today.

>tfw when you have to take the train in Station Square to get to a new area even tho you are fast




>tfw there is no free food or movies in the flight so you contemplate jumping...



...but then the flight attendant gives you a food menu and now you think it's OK enough to stay on the flight

So Pokemon Sun & Moon is now approaching NX levels of contradictory, fantastical leaks.

Like Smash 4 did after Robin murdered Gamasutra.

Maybe you guys can help me out: Ever since I got my laptop, it repeatedly displays a pop-up to tell me to setup Microsoft Office. I've bought Office, installed it, created/edited a number of documents with it, but it still annoys me with that message.

Anybody know a solution?

The only reason I think the split evo could be true is the whole "Rockruff and the starters have a secret" thing

We don't have a clue about what it could be, and now that we know everyone can use the Z-Crystals it isn't that

They're all Fire/Dark.

This is our first Dark/Fire.

4chan proved that leak doesn't match up to the Chinese one
>Not repeating chinese guys
The moment people dont see that rugby monkey or the **** cat people will know it's fake dummy.
The cat is on there.

764 Darline (NORMAL/VARIOUS)
765 Darwisker (NORMAL/VARIOUS)


783 Goruggla (FIGHTING/GROUND)

And that could be a rugby gorilla.

WELL ****.
Still HIGHLY doubt Wimpod not being the first stage, (Salamanders are amphibians iirc) and I want more fossils, so hope this is fake. ESPECIALLY WITH MARSHADOW
Oh I want it to be fake too.
(We'd be getting ONE fire type line we haven't seen yet...)
But I want to point out contradictions where I can find em, on both sides.

I thought Sausage Fest was the only cgi porn thing, why is it getting an 'on ice'?


If Nut Job isn't a porn I'm going to sue
No, it's not an "Adult Film" by any means, don't let the title mislead you (and i assume they used that name on purpose just to get attention, since the movie doesn't have any "Adult Jokes" as far as im concerned) oh and features Psy making a cameo because........

It's just your average crappy CGI movie for "kids", think it similar to movies like Norm of the North, Alpha & Omega, the Ice Age sequels and any bad CGI Animated film featuring talking animals.


Onto another news, River City Tokyo Rumble (the sequel to the cult classic River City Ransom) will be released in America and Europe this September (they haven't given a specific release date yet). Unfortunately Europe will only get the game digitally.

I just realized that since it's Metroid's 30th, that means that is will also be Kid Icarus's anniversary this year.


Woohoo!


. . .Kid Icarus is getting to get way way way less Metroid isn't it?
