Cubone staying pure ground type is weird to me.

I believe this will be the first time not even one of a Pokemon's typings transfers over to it's evolution (not counting Eevee of course)

Oh, except for Azurill before it got it's Fairy typing I guess. Why did they make it a pure normal type again?

Look at them, they're about to drop the sickest mixtape of 2016.

[Frostwraith]

I think there might be an hidden value for the Alola Forms in the case of Marowak, Raichu and Exeggutor.

Perhaps for breeding, it will depend on the mother's case (or Ditto's partner). I think it might be that if a baby Cubone is born from a female Alola form Marowak or a female Cubone originating from Alola, the baby will evolve into an Alola Form Marowak.

I mean, a female Alola Form Vulpix will likely ensure an Alola Form Vulpix coming from the egg, which is why I think the likes of Pichu, Pikachu, Exeggcute and Cubone will have some kind of trigger for their evolutions' new forms that is passed down to an egg.

 

[RawstyleEevee]

Its also good to see, that Gamefreak is not going overboard with Mega's this gen, because they where sort of a basebreaker in Gen 6.

I do think we will get a few in the Postgame like Mega Butterfree, Mega Milotic,Mega Dragonite and a Starter Trio(Johto most likely) because their counterparts got one in Gen 6

 

[Radical Bones]

Ground Cubone to Fire/Ghost really bugs me...

Like, I'd take a simple colour swap with the model staying the same.

 

[Deleted member]

Alolan forms are technically nothing new, ingame they're just like any other Pokemon with different forms
Alolan forms that differ in evolution probably have different evolution methods while ones that already change in the base form have both forms avaible to catch
Breeding is not an issue, it's always the base form of the fenale Pokemon

Anyways
Gen 1: Beedril, Scyther, Arcanine
Gen 2: Feraligatr, Azumarill, Ampharos
Gen 3: Mightyena, Camerupt, Absol
Gen 4: Luxray, ...Lucario, I guess, something probably
Gen 5: Galvantula, Hydreigon, Stoutland
Gen 6: Aegislash, Tyrantrum, Heliolisk

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I beat Sin and Punishment.

It is very hard and very weird.

Fun though.

Seriously, what the **** is happening in that plot?

 

[powerprotoman]

so heres an important thing to think about

if you hatch a cuebone in alola it will technicaly be alolan native so will that allow it to evove into alolan marowak even if the egg was layed in say kalos?

 

[Deleted member]

My Top 3 for each generation:
Gen 1:
Gen 2:
Gen 3: Latios, Gardevoir, Salamence
Gen 4: Luxray, , Roserade (Staraptor as a honorable mention)
Gen 5: Chandelure, Excadrill, Galvantula
Gen 6: , Tyrantrum, Aegislash

Didn't mention my gen 7 favorites since it's too early to judge imo.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So if Marowak has Lightening Rod it has three immunities and seven resistances. (one being quad resist)

Five Weaknesses is a bummer but no quads at least.

Between this and Sandlessshrew, wonder if this is Game Freak admitting that Pure Ground is a dull type.

I think one of the parents has to be from Alola for the baby to be Alolan.

That's how it works IRL anyway, and it makes sense for Pokemon to do that as well.

Lies and slander.

im thinking it will work of the plus/pentagon symbol so if its born in alola it can become alolan form
have to remember that while thats how it orks in the real world up untill now evolution did not match its real world counterpart and still does not

 

[Deleted member]

Should join as well:

Gen 1:
Gen 2:
Gen 3: Swamp Sensei --erm, Swampert, Gardevoir, Breloom
Gen 4: Roserade, Mismagius, Mamoswine
Gen 5: Krookodile, Chandelure, Haxorus
Gen 6: , Aegislash, Tyrantrum

As a variety-maniac, I made each of my Top 3 not having more than 1 Poké' of the same type.
I've also quoted the ones I used in my games, thus no Pokémon from Alola.

Hang on, if Alola Raichu is the first Electric/Psychic (bar Pokestar foes), then how many unused combos are left?

Some seem odd in their absence like Ground/Fighting or Ground Fairy, but most are types that are fairly contradictory. Still it could work. A Steel/Poison Mercury blob or a Fire/Ice Cold Fission metaphor or a Navi got sick of the Hey listen jokes and is out for revenge Dark/Fairy.

 

[Burruni]

You know.

I have Triforce Heroes but I don't think I have anyone to play it with.


Anyone wanna play it with me sometime?

Here here. I've been trying to find someone to help me 100% it for a while.

Deleted it like 3 days ago because I had nobody to go farm the challenges with and needed room for Dual Destinies.
Damn.

When 4chan randos leak your trailer:

Spoiler

The Team Skull theme is L I T

Spoiler

Yo, I'm liking Team Skull the more I see them...and their theme is just rad!

Wishiwashi reverting back to it's Solo form after taking damage just makes so much sense if you really think about it...It's probably going to be like a defensive version of Defeatist...

Cubone not getting an Alolan form is a bit strange to me, but perhaps that's part of it's adaptation...Wasn't expecting Pikachu to get an Alolan form anyways...

tbh I'm thinking there's a possibility that there isn't an Alolan Persian...but I hope there is because of the potential of a Dark type Persian!

Indeed. In addition of the two you mentioned, lack of Electric/Dark, Electric/Fighting, Bug/Psychic and Dragon/Fighting surprises me. Probably because there are already Pokemon that could've used those types (Luxray, Electivire, Butterfree and Druddigon).

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Top 3 Pokemon of every generation, eh?

Gen 1: Gengar (very surprising amirite?), Blastoise, Dragonite (Honorable Mention: Mewtwo)
Gen 2: Heracross, Houndoom, Crobat (Honorable Mention: Feraligatr)
Gen 3: Gardevoir, Blaziken, Groudon (Honorable Mention: Breloom)
Gen 4: Mamoswine, Dusknoir, Lucario (Honorable Mention: Magnezone)
Gen 5: Zoroark, Zekrom, Krookadile (Honorable Mention: Meloetta)
Gen 6: Aegislash, Greninja, Hawlucha (Honorable Mention: Tyrantrum)

 

[powerprotoman]

okay so heres what i think we should infer as rules for alolan pokemon going forward

1 if a base form is revealed but no evolutions assume its evolutions will get an alolan form
2 if a fully evolved pokemon is revealed with out its pre evolutions the pre evolutions do not have alolan forms
3 a alolan form pokemons type can either be slightly or fully changed but never unchanged
4 alolan forms will have at least 1 different type from their normal counter part

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Spoiler

Spoiler

I think it's guaranteed that we'll get one. I mean, I don't think Alolan Meowth evolving into a normal Persian makes sense.

I'd amend 2 to, "likely" does not. After all some evolutions are much more prominent in advertising than the prevos.

And add 5, abilities dont' nessessarily change but will do in case of being linked to type. As cool as an ice type with Flash Fire would have been...

 

[Burruni]

I just realized.
Mimikyu is dominant over Alolan Raichu

It's time to take over

Have we not learned from past mistakes when we try to infer rules onto things?
At the very least for number 1, the only base forms that have alola forma along with their evolved counterparts have been revealed along side them...At least until Alola Persian gets revealed let's not assume it will get an alolan form...because if it won't that's what makes people disappointed...
Number 2 should also be taken with discretion...Personally I feel like any full evolutionary line Alola forms will be revealed along side each other...regardless if they are fully evolved or pre-evolutions...

3/4 is kind of a given because that's pretty much the point of Alola forms so far...I feel like they will always be more than just recolours/redesigns...

English trailer has been uploaded btw...

Confirms that the Evil Team has gone back to a more grounded threat, being rejects of society that are lashing back rather than X&Y's who were somehow genocidal lunatics and boring at the same time.

Interesting to see the boss has some history with the professor this time.

Great, I'm tired of the villanous teams always being obsessed with some legend and wanting to use it to destroy/conquer the region.

I still have a feeling they'll mess with the legendary but as more of a screw with your ceremony type thing than a big plot to bring an end to ice cream or something.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. But still, at least this team doesn't look like it has an extreme goal, unlike the five previous villanous teams.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm pretty sure they'll still use the Legendary to take over the region, they only differ in reasons from other teams
Still, I'm liking Team Skull so far and I'll take them over Team Gaga and Team "Let's destroy the world so it can stay beautiful" any day

 

[powerprotoman]

now heres something im intrested in in the decription of team skulls grunts it says "they have to buy their own uniforms"

so im wondering if unlike team flare we will be able to buy a skull grunt outfit

 

[Guybrush20X6]

They also remind me of...

Spoiler: Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies DLC spoilers

and of course

 

[A Distant Demon]

Lalum's dodge rate through the entire game: 95%
Death Rate: 0%

Ninian's Dodgerate: 0%
Death Rate: 0%

Spoiler

Well except that one time Eliwood killed her lol

Azura's dodge rate: 0%
Death Rate: higher than it should be

That actually gave me an idea...

Wouldn't it be interesting if we could start as a villanous team member in a Pokemon game? You would receive the starter Pokemon from them, they would give you missions and you would work together with them. Later in the game, you would start doubting their motives and eventually turn against them.

(I know, the idea of having an option to join the villanous team has been suggested before, but I doubt Nintendo and Game Freak would bother making two very different plots in the same game, nor would they allow the player to destroy/conquer the region)

I personally like this idea, but now when I think about it, it might be too similar to Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days' plot...

 

[Deleted member]

Both still unfinished, but postan progress:

Should be done this weekend.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

You know what, this should have been Team Skull's theme. They should have gone with this if they wanted the powah.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't know about you, but I would love to see the next Smash having some new orchestral tracks again like Melee's and the one I inserted.
