Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

Johnny Joestar posted:

it's being speculated that throat chop, laser focus, and aurora veil (from the first datamine video) might be signature moves for the starter lines

That was speculated in this very thread, then someone who read it here posted that "people" were speculating that in the Smogon thread. And now someone in this thread has posted that information here again.

Soon, someone will post in the Smogon thread again and become a speculative oroboros.

laser focus is a cool name what does it do

Move you use next turn is a guaranteed crit. Not that useful imo.

if it makes it a sniper-level crit it could be usable in a gimmick set with leaf storm

Less than 100 new pokemon is lame. I'd be willing to forgive it more if there were a lot of Alolan forms but tons of Gen 1 pokemon aren't even getting them. I'd rather of just gotten more megas.

EDIT: I mean there are gonna only be what, roughly a dozen evolution lines getting a form? That sucks.

I'd be more upset with less than 100 Pokemon if it weren't for the fact that most of the revealed ones so far are really loving good.

Most of the Gen1 pokes that aren't getting them have gotten Megas or baby evos or further evolutions. Those pokemon were never getting an Alola form since that would require loving up with so many other forms/evos. That in mind there weren't many lines left that you could actually give Alola forms to.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Still holding out for Alola forms for post-Gen1 dudes.

There's still tons of Gen I lines that could have gotten them.

Caterpie line, Spearow line, Ekans, Nidoran M and Nidoran F, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Paras, Venonat, Psyduck, Mankey, Growlithe, Machop, Bellsprout, Tentacool, Geodude, Ponyta, Farfetch'd, Doduo, Seel, Shellder, Drowzee, Krabby, Voltorb, Koffing, Goldeen, Staryu, Jynx, Tauros, Lapras, Ditto, Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, and Dratini.

That's still 35 evolution lines that they could have given Alola forms to. Hopefully Pokemon Eclipse gives us more.

No actually there are a lot.

Nidoking
Nidoqueen
Victreebell
Electrode
Parasect
Butterfree
Dragonite
Dodrio
Fearow
Arbok
Venomoth
Golduck
Primeape

etc.

I'm finding Alolan forms are super underwhelming if there are this few.
