I like that the new version mascots look so robotic. I could honestly see you having to pilot the things.

Also, Popplio is what Spheal should have been.

I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else.
And I just outgrew Pokemon again. Seems to be a cycle. Boring generation-Ok generation-Awesome generation sucks me back in-Boring generation again.

Everyone loves that drat owl, I think he looks so boring. If I were to pick any I'd probably pick the fire pussy. It just feels like gen 3 all over again, not to mention that was basically a Hawaii region too? I was kinda hoping it'd be something new? Like a California region?

Am I being really forgetful, or is Rowlet literally the second owl Evo line ever? Owls are cool, you'd think there's be more.

Yeah, but it can't possibly be worse than the other owl line.

Litten has a very different design but I figure I may like it more with evolutions.

Popplio is disgusting.

I wonder if the game will have 3D for real this time, or just 3D on certain areas if you want to murder the framerate or have none at all like Pocket Card Jockey

Litten will know Ember when you get it, while Popplio will know Water Gun. Apparently Rowlet can kick pretty hard, Litten can shed its fur in a blaze of glory and Popplio does tricks and acrobatics on its water balloons.

Considering they're running with full sized overworld models now, definitely the later.

The seal is Oshawott levels of poo poo-tier. The Sun version legendary looks awesome.

Poke-Hawaii is the best addition to the series, but doesn't Alola look a little small? Maybe we'll get the second region adventure...

It was almost certainly chosen because it sounds like "leaf edge" though.

It's small because the game is going to be small, lovely, and a quick and lazy cash grab. Sorry.

I would be very surprised if this was the whole region and not just one of the various islands.



We've got a sun lion and a moon bat, I love it. Still not sure on my choice, but if most of my friends go Sun, I'll happily go Moon.
