Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Opossum]

So one other question:

Spoiler

any of the Pokemon found in the data mine, able to be fit withing the first 3 routes? Reviewers said they saw at least one new mon.

Depends on if they were counting Alola forms...hint hint.

 

[Champ Gold]

I'm just gonna wait for the full release.

I just want spoilers for the Pokémon and that's it.


And I love all the new ones that are hidden especially one that makes me think of a Zerg

 

[Chrono.]

Okay I looked at the leaks

The Chinese leak only said there was a snowman and a dolphin. Nothing more or less.

The one that went into specifics regarding them was the "real leaks" leak and the "split evos" leak. The former which only the first post has any merit and the second which is pretty fake as we all know

Spoiler

Also both of those leaks are the only ones that mention the Darwin Cat.

So that was pretty fake. Darwin Cat never existed.

Also.
For people's qustion on the snowman thing.

Spoiler

Are the chinese characters for Yeti and Snowman close? Like... couldn't Yeti be literally written as Man of Snow?
Doesn't match up with its claim on the type, but it is two-stage.
And they messed up on a ton of alolan forms too.

Spoiler

Yes actually.

It was talked about on Bulbagarden forums

 

[Lord Dio]

The demo is making me unsure if i want to pick the guy or girl character when I get the full game......both look really cool.

 

[Z25]

Depends on if they were counting Alola forms...hint hint.

I don't think so. None of the remaining ones fit that bill. The one from the demo could, but most people didn't make it to the first city. GX only just got to the trainer's school, they wouldn't have seen that one.

And totem Hakamo-o calls Rockruffs from the sky lmao.

 

[Deleted member]

Time for my thoughts as well

Spoiler

We already knew about the starter evos but I want comment on Popplio's shiny final evo and the fact GF knows blondes are one of my weaknesses

Pikipek evolve into Toucanmon? That's surprisingly odd but I like that we finally have a Toucan Pokemon, too bad it looks to be Normal/Flying

14 Pokemon thst doesn't evolve, that's actually a lot proportionally speaking out of 37 non-legendary evo lines
Crabawler was one that I didn't expect to get an evo but guess I was wrong

Wimpod evo looks really cool but GF seriously needs to stop with all the cool Water Pokemon this gen

Hentai-chan gets an evo and I still have no idea of what it's supposed to be

Salandit evo looks like a stretched version of itself lol
Morelull gets pretty creepy wtf

The anchor thing looks like a Ghost/Water to me but I really hope it has some other secondary typing so I can use it

Finally, the most important thing of all

Shiny Baile Oricorio is perfection and I'm sad I still can't use it as an avi

 

[MajinBuu272]

Well this is a nice list.

Spoiler: Generation 7 Dex

Just noticed turtonator's pre-evo isnt in there

 

[Chrono.]

Just noticed turtonator's pre-evo isnt in there

Because it doesn't have one.

...Also use spoiler tags pls.

 

[Burruni]

Just noticed turtonator's pre-evo isnt in there

...
We got the confirmation like 2 days ago Drampa and turtonator don't have prevos from the back-of-the-box art.

 

[Opossum]

Spoiler

It definitely could be Alolan Geodude or Diglett, IMO.

 

[Coricus]

So playing the demo and I noticed something interesting. I don't know if it's been happening for a while now and I never noticed or if it's something newly added to Sun and Moon, but. . .

Spoiler: Are we doing demo spoilers in the middle of all these spoiler spoilers?

One of the trainers I'm fighting in the "demo postgame" threw out a Pikipek. . .in a Great Ball. Have trainers been catching things in stuff other than basic Pokeballs before, or is this new?

 

[Z25]

Spoiler

It definitely could be Alolan Geodude or Diglett, IMO.

Spoiler

Well that's possible, new pokemon doesn't equal new Alolan forms to me though. We'll see. I asked Andre and Ash about it. on Twitter, to see if they responded.

You don't have to, and that's a feature newly added to Sun and Moon.

 

[Pazzo.]

Day 18: Spider Dance

Of all the monstrous songs in this game... to only pick one is quite the shame!

Tomorrow...
This deadly dance is quite old...
But this song's tune is more romantic.
For a hint, look to a mouse...
When this song was played in a special quite hectic.

This is new to the series. We've seen an instance of this earlier when Plumeria threw an Ultra Ball

 

[Chrono.]

Now that I'm home I can make my TYPE SPECULATION LIST.

Spoiler

Rowlet 3 will likely stay Grass/Flying
Litten 3 Fire/Dark
Poppilio 3 Water/Fairy
Pikipek line Normal/Flying
Crabrawler evo Fighting/Ice
Sea urchin Water/Poison or Fairy/Poison
Metroid Spider Bug/Psychic
Morelull evo stays the same
Wimpod's evo either says the same or, gets a new second type which imo could be either Dark, Fighting or, getting bold here, Dragon
Salandit evo stays the same
Anchor could be a Water/Ghost? Steel/Poison? Steel/Ghost?
Tapus will probably match the Oricorios as predicted
Marshadow Dark/Fairy

 

[Coricus]

Ah, alright, good. It's a nice touch, I think I always did have a little bit of fridge logic hanging in the back of my mind about why everyone was using basic Pokeballs for everything they encountered, LOL. Nice little boost to immersion.

 

[praline]

I don't think so. None of the remaining ones fit that bill. The one from the demo could, but most people didn't make it to the first city. GX only just got to the trainer's school, they wouldn't have seen that one.

Well apparently there are some still we don't know.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

so i have to ask did the original chinese leak ever mention what the snowmans type was

Its the yeti crab

 

[Coricus]

Also in the demo, there actually is some grass to catch Pokemon from in the city for a change! . . .It's a little sad that the game has to go through a fraction of a second loading screen every time you open a gate though, LOL. Hopefully the next system Pokemon games release on doesn't make you load for things as minor as that.

*EDIT* Looking at it, it's because they didn't bother to animate it. I guess the resources went elsewhere?

*EDIT EDIT* Wait, is this a little Mexican restaurant? Aw that's so cu- HEY, I can't sit in the chairs! Downgrade! Downgrade!

Danse Macabre

 

[Deleted member]

So I played the demo. Nothing too special but I'm loving the soundtrack, especially Team Skull's battle theme.

 

[FalKoopa]

And I spoiled myself of another Alolan form.

Damnit, FalKoopa

On Twitter?

I'm very open about leaks. Sorry.
(Mute me next time a big reveal is imminent. )

 

[Deleted member]

By the way, I forgot to mention this, but I'm probably gonna pick the female character for my first Sun playthrough.
The male character looks more generic then Calem from X and Y

 

[Autumn ♫]

On Twitter?

Yeah, but it's fine.

Spoiler

The only thing you spoiled me of is the final evolutions of the starters and the Alolan Geodude line

It's my fault anyways, I need to more more careful with this type of stuff.

 

[powerprotoman]

Its the yeti crab

re read what i said and realize you didnt answer my question....granted its been confirmed that no the chineese leak didnt mention the "snowmans" type

 

[Coricus]

Oh, there's actually a video playing on a TV screen in one of these buildings instead of just a glowing screen. Nice! Love how each building you go into has it's own feel and tons of little details.

. . .Still sad I can't sit in chairs. This seems like it would have been a much better region for it than Kalos. I keep having buildings I want to enter but can't, too.

 

[Curious Villager]

The male protagonists almost always look pretty generic throughout the series (bar certain exceptions), at least compared to their female counterparts imo. At least you can customise them though I suppose...

Spoiler

All agreed.
Sea Urchin/Anenomie/Whatever I see water over fairy for primary.
Anchor is Steel/Ghost.
Marshadow.. it's said to be unique, but isn't Garfield part fairy?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Spoiler

The leak that predicted the Dark/Fairy Alolan Persian was the same one that predicted a Fighting Arbok IIRC, and that leak is dead in the water.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Though about leaked Pokemon:

Spoiler

Good:
- Wimpod's evolution is amazing. It will definitely be on my team.
- I'm satisfied on Salandit's evo. Some say it's boring, but I expected worse.
- Crabrawler's evolution looks great, as well, and looks like it'll be our first Fighting/Ice Pokemon.
- The anchor is cool, I guess.
- Alolan Geodude line is good. I was hoping it would be part Fire, though.
- Metroid Spiders are great.
- Ultra Beasts are cool... I just hope they have proper names if/when we can get catch them.

Neutral:
- Pikipek's evos are meh. Looks like they'll remain Normal/Flying, which is disappointing.
- Morelull's evo is somewhat disturbing, but not bad.
- Not sure do I like the idea of legendaries having pre-evos.
- No comment on the two new spiky Pokemon or the Tapus.

Bad:
- Not a fan of Alolan Diglett and Wigtrio. I wish they had more differences than just the wig.
- Alolan Persian is a disappointment as well, despite resembling my favorite comic book character.
- Ash-Pikachu. Never been a fan of Ash, but because of this I have a bad feeling they'll shoehorn him into the games. Thankfully it just wears Ash's hat instead of resembling him.
- Pyukumuku and Minior not evolving. They really should've got one. So should Mimikyu, but I never expected it to get one.
- No Alolan Ekans, Arbok or Nidoking. Looks like Alolan Raichu is the only Alolan form I'll be using.

Dugtrump

people will find any reason to refrence him, wont they?

Son, it doesnt even look like him. Those are some big straws you're grasping

Yay, got another one. :D


Also, Night on Bald Mountain? Deadly dance referencing the Chernabog bit, the mouse referencing Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey?

 

[Autumn ♫]

I always play as the girl, so this time isn't any different. I'm just really glad we can take off the hat, since I haven't been to Glove World yet.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Spoiler

I only called him that because of the blonde hair (that looks like a wig to me).

So I wasn't the only one who noticed that!

So I took a look at the dex list.
*looks at shiny alolan exeggutor*
I don't know how he did it, but Sideshow Bob has found a way into being in Pokemon.

Now that I've done the demo, I'm a little unsure about guy or girl. If I go with the girl I'll definitely customize her.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Imma name my Rowlet Goro

Spoiler

I only called him that because of the blonde hair (that looks like a wig to me).

The hair isnt even the same

They look like like those usual snobby rich kids to me

 

[Deleted member]

I'm still not sure what I'm gonna nickname most of my team members. I think I'll name my Rowlet "Jacques" after Jontron's parrot, and maybe I'll name my Silvally "Not Arceus", but other than that, I'm not sure.

 

[praline]

Time to head to LameStop and see if they have any good funko pop figures for me to buy.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Thoughts because everyone else is doing them and im onbreak from class anyway

Spoiler

• Starter Trio still looks great
  • Still Beltigre>Mermaid seal>>>>>robin hoot for me
• Toucan is cool and I love any Pixar so this im a big fan of the middle evo even if it blatantly has nothing to do with it.
• I like crabrawler's base form WAY more than yeti crab.
• Happy that new spiky TCG pokemon has NOTHING to do with wimpod or muku like people were saying because that made no sense. Will wait for motion on this one
• Strange bubble bug looks AWESOME.
• mushroo evolution is TERRIFYING. Those cold dead eyes make zombie parasect look lively
• Salandit evo actually makes me like salandit instead of just being ehhh
• I assumed either zero to hero or staying a wimp for Wimpod. Looks like the former. Looks pretty cool
• RIP koala evo.
• Shipreck pokemon is AMAZING. One of my favorites from the mining
• RIP Alola nidoking
• Alolan geodude line looks prety cool
• Alolan Persian looks fake lmao. Someone photoshopped an ill fitting nermal head onto a miscolored persian.
• Alolan Dugtrio is just Dugtrio with hair. . .y tho?

no comments on the special ones
