I hope the yellow 5 o' clock shodow turns out to be candy and Grimer's been stealing candy from people.

I never managed to attract a Munchlax in Platinum so this rings true.

I agree with this assessment, even although this sounds like you're giving Skuntank the stink eye :v:

Grimer's cool, but I really want totally new Pokémon more. I hope XY didn't set the precedent that we'll only be getting like ~70 new Pokémon per generation with forms and Mega-Evolutions filling in the gaps. I like the forms and Megas, but I want to use 100% brand new dudes, at least on my first playthrough.

I never thought about this but are the forms gonna get different stats? Those gen 1 stat totals are pretty bad

I kinda like it, at some point if they didn't do this you'd have like 2000 pokemon with 1800 of them being completely forgettable stuff you never see past the first hour of starting the game

Poison/Dark is pretty lazy tbh and if you're going to make an Alola Grimer there's a ton of more interesting ways to do it.

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed because it has the most potential for a creative change. A lava form would make sense and it would own. But it's just another Gen 1 with dark type slapped onto it.

If it is dark and poison it at least makes it a fairly good defensive combo.

they confirmed on the site that alolan sandslash is slower than regular sandslash but who knows how much they're actually going to change

on typing alone ninetales will probably be at least decent

This world only remembers the results!




Hey for all y'all who don't have access to a GameStop to score a Volcanion I have at least one extra code (can probably snatch a few more today)

Ideally, I would like to exchange it for one of the three remaining Pokémon I need for my living dex:
Celebi
Victini
Diancie

But worst case I'll just let it go

But uh if you'd be willing to trade off one of those 'mons for the code that'd be rad. Shoot me a pm and we can put something together maybe tonight.

That's been a feature for a while, but this is the first time they really tell you in-game how to actually access it. Which is, yeah, they should do that.
