Passimian and Oranguru are great.

I still can't get over how Rockruff and its evos are rock-type. It just doesn't follow. Like did they think of the names first and just decide to run with the conceit?

I think having more Rock types that aren't just literal rocks is pretty cool! Also they've got crystals in their fur or somethin.

Oranguru can join its friends Girafarig and Meloetta
I definitely hope they revisit Girafarig either with an evolution or a mega. giraffes are cool and deserve to be a pokemon.

Oh definitely, I just expect some degree of thematic consistency. Like the prehistoric Pokemon all being rock-type because they were revived from fossils despite not literally being made of rock. I just see nothing that ties Rockruff to its rock typing.

Let's run down the now confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt leak:


Ok so we've still got a Snowman line and Dolphin to see. And a new cat. And more Alolan forms.

Good poo poo, S&M

That leak is already deconfirmed by the official site. They've got Arcanine listed in the site pokedex and it's regular Arcanine.

You're also conflating two separate leaks. The Alola Alakazam and Arcanine one came out well after the 'Chinese Leak' that called Rugby monkey.

Yeah I never do doubles but I'm going to use them anyway. Just think of them as two more in the huge list of Pokemon that have boring abilities that rarely become relevant in battle.

If Pokemon Go has taught me anything, it is that Poke Balls are really hard to throw well. I don't think I can use Passimian.

LICK MY ASS
There better be a ton of ingame doubles battles this time around. Always seemed weird that they try and push doubles as the True Competitive Format and haven't given us very many opportunities to do it in the game. Was it Emerald that really pushed it? I remember liking that a lot, especially since they were usually optional based on how you approached the NPC.
Also wise old orang is my new best friend.

Doubles are the best format because it opens up so much more interactions between moves, pokemon, and abilities, and gives pokemon that would otherwise be trash a chance to shine.

Singles are for boring losers.

Eevee's. Z-move is almost flashy enough for me to consider using an Eevee rather than evolve it as soon as possible. Also Passimian is the best monkey yet.

Which is dumb. Make 3v3 triples the format in that case.

Or 1 v 1 Singles.

4v4 Doubles is the stupidest idea for a format. At the very least make is 6v6.

Man, on the one hand I was set on Moon for the 12 hour offset thing (I have a 9 to 5 job and a commute, and I kinda hate playing in nighttime settings). On the other, some of these exclusives (Musciqto, Passimian) are making it real hard.

I wonder how many nerds shat themselves laughing over naming their Orangurus 'Harambe'

Hopefully none because it's an orangutan and not a gorilla.

I'm sure there'll be lots, though.
