I am not using any Alola forms, at least for the main campaign. I mean, they're cool and all, but I will continue the tradition of only using 'mons introduced in the new generation. I didn't even use any Megas during Y for that reason. I'll use 'em once I start breeding and whatnot, I'm sure.

I always kind of :raise: when I see Gym Leaders Island Captains using old Pokémon as their "signature" Pokémon. Like Korrina's main Pokémon was Lucario rather than Hawlucha or Pangoro or whatever. Rep. your region!

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

was that just a goon posting about mega evolution or is it actually removed, because I liked my douchey looking charizard

unfortunately, mega evolution is gone in favor of the z-attack system which all pokemon can use instead of just a select few

There is no official indication that Mega Evolution has been removed from the game. There also has been nothing indicating that it is in the game, so a lot of people are claiming the Z-Powers replace Megas.

Are we sure Bogleech isn't the one making these new Pokemon? Cause while Cutiefly & Shirodesuna seem like something he might make, Namakobushi is definitely something he'd make.

That tail makes up for Alola Raichu's ears.

I miss you, Big Kahuna. A goon gave me a surfing Raichu in Soul Silver, and he fell victim to not being able to transfer Pokemon with HM moves.

they already wrote an in-game explanation for why they wouldn't be around in future games, it's clear they didn't know whether or not it would stay.

It will just be banished to the post-game and put back in the spotlight for the gen iv remakes if that happens this gen.

Not if you combine it with Tapu Koko's ability. It's pretty much swift swim, which is ok.

In gen 6, all of seven pokemon can learn Electric Terrain, and all of them are already Electric type. Raichu isn't even one of them.

I imagine that's changing. And I doubt Alolan types will have the same moveset as the original.

Which I could be wrong about, but they've got a couple of abilities that make use of it so I can see them making it more common.

Please consider Yungoos for the sixth spot. You don't have to decide now, just think it over...
