I really, really hope the emphasis on Alola Exeggutor in the anime promo means that one of Ash's traveling buddies has one. Please. Seeing my dragon tree friend every other episode would be the best.

Ash having one would be even better, but I'm not expecting Nintendo to allow the anime staff to give Ash the goofiest new Pokemon. They haven't really done that with Ash since Snorlax almost two decades ago.

Ya know, Day Wolf and Night Wolf are both starting to grow on me.

I really want to know their names and typing. I think if Night wolf is Rock/Dark and Day wolf is just Rock I might go with Night Wolf. But if Day Wolf is Rock/some else I'll probably go with Day Wolf.

They're both good doggies though.

Are they two different Pokemon or are these time-of-day forms of the same Pokemon? I'm confused now

I loved Dayowulf (© oddium) from the start and Nightwolf (© Mortal Kombat) has grown on me on record time. I hope they are both fast (they look like they will be) because we need more fast Rock-types, and have good abilities.

We don't know for sure yet, but they're apparently (permanent) forms of the same Pokemon. They do have the same name.

If you've ever seen an animal getting flayed in a TV show, movie or documentary or something then it's easy to see the parallels to that in Nightwolf's design, down to the paws still having fur because that's often left on.

I don't get why everyone's hating on the night evolution. Yes it's another bipedal canine, and yes it's "dark" but it's also way more cartoony than Pokemon like zoroark and lucario. I mean look at its big eyes and goofy zigzag grin.

This might be the first gen where I pick the grass starter. Lucha cat is way too anthropomorphic and there are too many fire/fighting types already. Also the sea lion one is both more comical looking and more effinimate looking than any starter before it. I wonder if it's fairy type.

You don't have to use any of them at all, you can just box it or Wondertrade it away and put any of the dozens of awesome options that Alola offers on your team instead.

Yeah. Rowlet is maybe the cutest starter in Pokemon history, but its rumored final evolution is so tedious and bland. An adorable leaf bird turning into yet another bipedal humanoid thing is the most boring. If it really does happen, then a secondary starter evolution where Rowlet stays an owl would be super sweet.

I have nothing wrong with cool humanoid Pokemon (like Lopunny and Ampharos!), but Rowlet's rumored final evolution isn't cool and I was really looking forward to a cute owl that stays a cute owl through its whole line!

you know birds are bipedal to begin with right.

like, a bird's body shape is already fairly close to humanoid. and this



Isn't really that humanoid. It still has the backward bird legs, wings instead of arms and a pretty short body overall.

I think it looks pretty rad, probably in my top starter evos ever. Definitely less humanoid than, say, Blaziken or Greninja.
