I hope I can pull off a good rotating team because that Ghost Rider must be in my team.

Fire/Ghost Marowak is the coolest thing. I'm really happy to see Meowth and Persian getting some love. Persian is the best cat. :)

Ghosts are getting a lot of love this generation so far, 6 so far and sure they'll be more revealed.

Also Sandcastle get on my team now.

The Japanese name of the move is literally "Acrobat". It's also why random Pokemon learn Extrasensory because it's Japanese name is "Supernatural Power" so it's free game for a supernatural pokemon to learn it.

I wonder if Cubone is just fire type now and then when it evolves it dies, finally allowing its child to wear its skull

"Alolan Marowak developed in response to its natural predators in order to resist them."

Marowak is weak to water, grass, and ice, Alolan Marowak keeps the water wakness, resists grass and ice, and picks up dark, ghost, ground, and rock weaknesses. I don't really think that worked out all that well.

Edit: Though it also trades electric immunity for fighting and normal.

So according to Serebii, Rockruff has a "Secret Evolution" that will be revealed through a poster included in next month's CoroCoro?

They must consider it to be a significant thing. Wonder what it could be.

Also the evil team is named Team Skull. Can't wait for their nefarious plans to steal the bones of every pokemon.

It's probably the four way split evolution that was in accurate leaks. The pokedex leak from a couple of days ago corroborated with a bunch of the accurate leaks so don't be surprised with a few of the details in there coming true

I will probably use a certain theme for naming my team as I have in past games. I'm thinking of naming my Pokémon after My Hero Academia characters for Sun/Moon

Aerial Ace is named after a sword technique I think.

Bulbapedia posted:

This move is based on and named after Sasaki Kojiro's "Turning Swallow Cut" sword technique, so named due to its resemblance to the motion of a swallow's tail in flight, and is usually construed as a quick upward slash followed by a second one down the same direction, same as the move's animation

Aren't those pretty dangerous?

They have sharp teeth but they're also incredibly curious and affectionate, even in the wild.

I really hope that some Gen 2 pokemans get Alolan Forms. Maybe an Alolan Ariados so that the only spider besides Galvantula isn't terrible, Alolan Magcargo, Alolan Octillery or Alolan Corsola

I think that means Alolan Marowak was being preyed on by Bewears. Normal/Fighting and the ones that have Fluffy are weak to fire.

I think I'll keep an eye on ledyba or whatever it's called, we know it's a route 1 pokemon and if something needs a boost it's Ladien, so if some Gen II 'mons get an Alola Form that might be a top candidate.

Idk, we've already seen Ledyba in Alola are just regular ledyba. It'd be weird to have only the evolution have an Alolan form.

On that note: Where is Alolan Persian, Game Freak? Why are you hiding it from me I want a big black panther baby
