Is there anywhere you can see a list of all the Pokemon with previously never used type combinations in Sun and Moon? They seem to have added a LOT of new typings in this version specifically

Here:

Bug/Fairy
Dragon/Normal
Ghost/Fairy
Poison/Fire
Fire/Dragon (Charizard X has this but that's a mega)
Dragon/Fighting
Grass/Dragon (Mega Sceptile has this, but mega)
Ice/Steel
Electric/Psychic

I'm sure at least one of those has been done and I'm forgetting it but I thinkthat's right

Those people are in the right so it makes sense they'd want to believe that.

The connection to Lycanroc is split evolutions... and as such, like Lycanroc, sun version evos will be four-legged while moon evos will be two-legged.

It makes perfect sense!

Well, pretty likely fake, but the promos have said the starters do have some kind of Sun and Moon variation like Lycanroc. The alternate forms "leaked" here look bad already and don't seem to follow the pre-evolution well at all.

They said Rockruff shares a secret with the starters. It was then shown that it has two variations of its evolved form. Unless there's something else secret about it, then the starters likely have something different about them between versions.

then what's the starters' secret? there's no way they wouldn't be using that day-night split evo gimmick again. the game is called sun and moon.

So I've never gotten super far in my copy of X, and SuMo + watching a bunch of Griffin McElroy's run on Polygon has me wantin' to do a maybeNuzlocke of my own. I also never got around to picking up ORAS. Would I be better served going through X, or is ORAS improved enough that that would be worth my time to go through?

My experience is that Nuzlocke is not that fun. However, if you want to do a Nuzlocke anyways i'd say X because if you ever lose a bunch of your pokemon you can always go to the Chateau to level grind in minutes.

I just overthought some things of the overworld and what we know about the trials and trial captains, and I came up with an order of types that's probably not even close to real, but:
Normal > K. Fighting > Grass > Water > Electric > Fire > K. Rock > Fairy > Bug > Flying > Ice > K. Steel > Dragon > Ground > Ghost > Poison > K. Psychic > Dark
The Psychic Kahuna having to do with the version legendary and where the climax of the story happens, afterwards you go back to the first island where a new Trial has been made, the first Dark Type trial, and its captain is our boi Guzma and is also just a straight up loving Gym because Guzma is a rebel like that. We end our game with the first Dark Type Gym in the franchise

X/Y have a great variety of pokemon but gets a little harder towards the end, in terms of a nuzlock. Then again I don't use exp. share so that's probably just a me problem. ORAS seems overrated to me and wasn't very memorable but I think I'm in the minority on that one.

I made a Google doc that randomly generates Pokemon (breedable only, lowest stage) for Nuzlockes and such. This is just to replace Nuzlocke duplicates and giving the player a chance to have Pokemon outside the gen they're playing while still keeping RNG at play. It also does not include legendaries.

Nuzlockes are fun. I beat the elite 4 in my soul silver run and I wanted to do Kanto and beat Red but it's incredibly boring as a Nuzlocke because if you want new Kanto Pokemon you have to grind hard. Otherwise its fun.

Games in order of how fun they are for nuzlockes. RSE>BW2>RBY/FRLG>XY>BW>HGSS/GSC>DPP. I havent done one of ORAS because I don't want to delete my save on that.

Super late on the Jang-mo talk, but I kinda hope its not a pseudo-legendary and more akin to Flygon. But the way it is designed, it probably will have the pseudo stats. Either way, I love how it looks. Don't know why but it looks rad.

I also really like Bounsweet's evolution line. The special ability to stop priority attacks looks so good for doubles. Wonder if it affects both pokemon or just the one with the ability (probably the latter bc wow that'd be broken). With Bounsweet's final evolution I can have a team of strong fashionable feminine pokemon. That will be why they need to bring back poke competitions. So I can further cement how beautiful they are by having those badges. Ugh.

And with more and more info on what may or may not be version exclusives, I still may go with Moon. I really like that devianart, emo lycanroc.

Keep in mind these are meant to be "day" and "night" not "Sun" and "Moon". Or at least should it be true I hope so. That's what the supposed connection with Rockruff would suggest.

E: wait, poo poo.

Apparently the translation was a bit wrong. It wasn't "Rockruff and the starters share a secret", but "Rockruff has a secret. So do the starters."

I.e it was less "they're the same secret" and more "They have a separate secret."

Well, what else could the starters have as a secret? Maybe unique Z-moves?
