I wonder how you get Alola Exeggutor though. Exeggcute for both forms seem to be the same. What would happen if you evolve an Exeggcute that you've transferred from a previous game? Would it evolve into an Alola Exeggutor or a regular one?

I'd assume Alola cause it's in the sun when you do it. Like how a foreign-language non-nicknamed pokemon changes to its species name in your language when it evolves.

Presumably it checks the caught location when evolving.

There is probably alolan exeggcute, they just didn't show it. I'd wager it looks just like exeggcute except one of the eggs looks like that dopey tail coconut-egg

And thus Larantis was only a grass type, potentially saving it from being totally useless.

The game remembers the region it came from. They've done that for a while, I can't imagine why a Kanto Pokémon would ever evolve into an Alola one.

It's also probably why they made a big deal of the VC rereleases being compatible with Pokebank. You want your original Kanto 'mons? you can transfer them over thanks to having played the originals.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

less laughter posted:

Snowslash looks good and I would like to use it, but it's gonna have a really hard time getting out of PU with that type combo (two 4x weaknesses to common offensive types), drop in Speed, and virtually useless ability.

And they gave that ability to Alola Ninetales as well. I hope both their HAs are something better/more interesting.

The only Pokemon that you can transfer to Gen 7 that don't have location data are the ones from VC Gen 1, but since Bank has to make major coding updates to them anyway when they are transferred, I'm sure it's not a big deal to slap a "From Kanto, Gen 1" marker in their data.

Exeggcutor being Grass/Dragon is the strangest typing. What's Dragon about a giant tree? Although with the leaks Psychic/Bug Butterfree makes a whole lot of sense since it was always learning psychic moves anyway.

As is, it's still useless. Its saving grace might be its HA, like Serperior.

Gumshoos loving OWNS and Ice-type Vulpix/Ninetales makes it 100% more likely for me to use them. Ice/Steel 'shrews are cool too although they better loving buff Ice-type this generation cause goddamn

Ice/Steel would have two major crippling weaknesses though. I'm hyped to use it but it's going to suck as soon as a fire or fighting pokemon shows up.

Yeah, poor Ice/Steel. 4x weak to Fire and Fighting does not a good combo make.

I'm with you with vulpix/ninetails, but iceshrew is cute and no new pokemon would be able to capture the purity of sandshrew but white.
