If anyone honestly makes Harambe jokes about Oranguru, laugh at them harder.

Not because they're using an unfunny meme, but because they can't tell the difference between a gorilla and an orangutan.
People will use any excuse to shove a meme, honestly.

Let them laugh.

Thoughts on the trailer:
-Customization has really improved, which is nice to see. I've never been one to play around with the options, but even then I did feel XY was limited in some aspects in that regard, so it taking notable steps forward is a plus.
-Not too much I really want to say on Pokémon-amie.
-The plain Rock typing is a bit disappointing (moreso for Midnight) as is the version exclusivity, but I like the models of the two Lycanroc forms, Midnight especially got an improvement from its artwork as that one animation where it does a 'come on!' type pose really shows a lot of its personality. Between the two, I still prefer Midday's form though as that design appeals to me more. Also, on the note of competitive viability, neither really strike me as good, though Midday is looking to be the slightly better one due to Accelrock (unless it's shared) and a better ability.
-Of the monkeys, I prefer Passimian. It looks like its partially inspired by American football as well (its French and German names allude to it, and the '10 members per team' is one off of the number per Football team) and its design appeals to me more. The ability it has is pretty situational though, I can't see too many practical applications for it. Oranguru is a pretty neat design as well, and its new move seems like it'll be very useful in Doubles.
-The new music for the Ultra Beasts sounds great, I hope we get to hear more of it soon.
-Eevee's Z move has a great animation through calling in all of its evolutions, though the effect kind of makes it seem lackluster by comparison. With that said, it could be useful in Baton Pass and NFE metagames.

Either Gamefreak forgot there's no animals in the Pokemon world or we're getting a Toucan mon.



Or it could just be regular *** Toucan design in a shirt.

Yeah I'll go with that last one.
According to the Riddler, we are getting a Toucan Pokémon, he says its design will be focused on its mouth.

Also, we can scratch off the Wu Yong hint as it turned out to be Oranguru.

I don't get why Midnight form keeps talking about counter

I am not going to teach it counter no matter how many times you shove that in my face

So if we put the Riddler and Chinese leaks together, what do we get? Anything left to show?

I keep hearing people say there's still a dolphin and a snowman left, but someone would need to put the image of the leak list up in front of me again in order for me to confirm a full list of what's left.

I just realized another deadly combo with Instruct.

Mega Kangaskhan + Power-up Punch + Instruct = +4 Attack.

So that's Dolphin, Snowman and Toucan...

Touch wood, I think Gen 7 will be bigger dex-wise than 6.

-Dolphin
-Marshadow with unique typing (but we likely won't get this one for a while since it's stated to be a mythical).
-Snowman (Ice/Ghost based on the Bewear leak)
-Toucan with mouth focused design.

Hints:
-Yukie Nakama + Darker then Black character Kirsi
-Strange Souvenir Tapu
-Monk staff

And that's without all the missing evo/pre-evos to come and the other two Tapus.

On another note... perhaps HM's are coming back? Surf was used in the trailer.
Probably but pokeride is there so you don't use them.
Just a quick fanart dump from tumblr. I would post ore but you can only look at so much porn in public before you decide to stop.

Exactly, passimian at least makes some sense.

A snowman and dolphin as mentioned. The riddler has more hints and an Alolan form list but we don't know what will show up, he also isn't giving us everything.
So that's Dolphin, Snowman and Toucan...

Touch wood, I think Gen 7 will be bigger dex-wise than 6.
The riddler was quoted as saying Lunala's dex number is 805, he made a post stating people who said that were wrong upload an image where the file size equaled 820. So it's possible there's around 821 pokemon in the game. If not a few more then that for event legends and any other potential legends.

Which gives us around a 100 new pokemon. Which is 30 more then XY which isn't to bad.
-Dolphin
-Marshadow with unique typing (but we likely won't get this one for a while since it's stated to be a mythical).
-Snowman (Ice/Ghost based on the Bewear leak)
-Toucan with mouth focused design.

Hints:
-Yukie Nakama + Darker then Black character Kirsi
-Strange Souvenir Tapu
-Monk staff
The monk staff more then likely relates to oranguru. It was to hint a monk, which oranguru is. so that's one more solved it seems.

You people are confused, people aren't making harambe memes due to this trailer, they're making anti harambe memes. Big difference. :p

As I said earlier, Oranguru was the Wu Yong hint, the monk staff is still up.
Someone in the thread mentioned that the highlighted pokemon may be pokemon capable of doing signature Z-Moves

Blastoise is highlighted

Ultimate Hydro Pump confirmed!

Edit: I know it was proven stupid one post later though...

But confirmed

The leaks do say you now get Furfrou's forms by this new grooming feature.

How you get a specific trim is what I want to know though.

Uuuuuuuuuh. . .

Just saw a NeoGaf thread opened about another horrible. . .situation.

NSFW language on the other side of the link, so click and read at your own risk. I thought about linking the Imgur gallery they had in the OP directly, but it's a bit too dark and covers a few too many off topics for me to be confident it would be a good idea. You can choose how far you want to look into it that way.

Wow...
This is disturbing. And seriously messy. Looks like she can at least move back to her family.... hopefully she can recover a bit from all the abuse.

I really have no words... I've personally seen how domestic abuse can wreck havoc on people and relations, please let this get resolved quickly. Please.

Time to post my thoughts about this Sun and Moon news.

Both monkeys look pretty neat, though I'm digging Passimian more. I like its color scheme more, as well as the design. It looks like a mixture of a rugby and a football player. The berry as a helmet and a berry as a ball are really nice touch. It's ability looks really interesting too. While it won't do much in Singles, it's got a lot of neat strategies for Doubles. It's up there among my favorite Alola Pokemon at the moment, and I have a feeling I'll like the Pokemon even more when I play the games.

Oranguru looks cool too. Nice to see Girafarig won't be the only Normal/Psychic-type now. It looks like another Doubles-oriented Pokemon thanks to its new move Instruct, and the combination with Telepathy will be pretty good.

I'm surprised that both Lycanroc forms didn't gain a secondary-type. I think it's for the best though. Giving it another type will probably increase the number of weaknesses it has, so I guess leaving it at Rock is good for now. Sand Rush on Midday Lycanroc sounds pretty cool. I think it's guaranteed that Speed will be its defining stat at this point. Vital Spirit on the Midnight Form is good too, but I'm not sure which stat will it focus on more.

Loving the trainer customization updates. Huge improvement from X/Y. What really makes me excited is that your character can wear glasses now!

Pokemon Refresh looks like a highly improved Pokemon Amie. I like how you can cure status conditions by grooming your Pokemon now.

I can already tell Ash's Pikachu will gain access to that special Z-move some point in the anime. Eevee's Z-move is interesting in that it's the first one that doesn't attack the opponent. Those stat boosts look pretty nice. The eyes on each of the Eeveelutions during the attack looks rather off though, but I guess that's just me.

Just want to say that I'm glad some people are associating Orangaguru with King Louie over Harambe. Was planning on naming mine that when I get it.

Terrible if this turns out to be true. The competitive smash community can't seem to catch a break when controversial stuff happens.

If true( Which let's face it, it probably is) The smash community is getting worse and wore by the day. Damn, can't we have decent people playing the game for fun without this **** happening?

As I said earlier, Oranguru was the Wu Yong hint, the monk staff is still up.
I see. Also here's an update on the riddler:
http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index...iscussion-thread.214874/page-241#post-5985320

He's talking about the toucan now apparently.

And this already happened:


lol, Sun and Moon really is just JoJo.

Emerald update:
Team:
Leafofold
Chip
Rox
Flash
Volcan
Atlantis
Like I mentioned, it took me forever to find the Seafloor Cavern... Only to find out that I have to use HMs to get through it. I did eventually get through it, though, and I fought Archie and all that other stuff I needed to do in the climax of Emerald.
I'm currently at Sootopolis City, but I'm going to grind at Sky Pillar before I fight Juan... Also, since I have a few TMs, I thought I should teach some of them to the rest of my team members.
Leafofold - Moveset currently consists of Leaf Blade, Slam, Quick Attack, and Pursuit. I'll later get rid of Quick Attack for Dragon Claw since I know where to find the TM for it.
Chip - Currently knows Fly, Wing Attack, Quick Attack, and Aerial Ace. Will delete either Aerial Ace or Wing Attack for Steel Wing... I know Aerial Ace never misses, but I like that Wing attack has 35 base PP so I'm not sure which one I should delete.
Rox - Knows Iron Tail, Rock Tomb, Dig, and Headbutt. Will likely remove Headbutt for Brick Break and maybe Dig for Earthquake. I know Rock Tomb isn't the best move but it's the only STAB Rock type move he currently has access to (Rock Slide is a Move tutor move in the battle frontier, which I don't have access to atm)
Flash - Knows Thunderbolt, Bite, Thunder Wave and Quick Attack... I'm honestly fine with his moveset, and it's not like I have a better choice, since Manectric doesn't exactly have the best movepool.
Volcan - Flamethrower, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Take Down. I'll remove Take Down for either Eruption (Although I don't know if it will be very good on him because he's pretty slow and might get attacked before he activates it so that it will be less powerful... It will be perfect for Sidney's Cacturne, though) or Double Edge for neutral coverage.
Atlantis - Knows Surf, Water Pulse, Dive, and Ice Beam. I'll remove Water Pulse for Waterfall later, because HMs are required and all that stuff. Yeah 3 STAB Water type moves is a bit too much but it's not like Wailord has an amazing movepool to begin with.
