LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
awww, I'm disappointed this happened. Stupid Nintendo, stupid dataminers, and stupid me for not bailing on this thread pages ago.

really surprised that Komala is single-stage, and that the toucan is Pikipek's final form.
I guess I'm not at all surprised that they didn't add that many more new Pokemon, though.

at least we don't know anything about them.

So, the Alola Pokemon lineup is like:
1. Rowlet
2. Dartrix
3. archer owl
4. Litten
5. Torracat
6. heel tiger
7. Popplio
8. Brionne
9. pop star siren
10. Pikipek
11. half-toucan/half woodpecker
12. toucan
13. Yungoos
14. Gumshoos
15. Grubbin
16. Charjabug
17. Vikavolt
18. Crabrawler
19. yeticrab
20. Oricorio
21. Cutiefly
22. Ribombee
23. Rockruff
24. Lycanroc
25. Wishiwashi
26. Lurantis
27. Fomantis
28. Stufful
29. Bewear
30. little freaky thing
31. big freaky thing
32. Morelull
33. shroomhead
34. Salandit
35. bigger Salandit
36. possibly a sea urchin
37. possibly a large sea urchin
38. Mudbray
39. Mudsdale
40. Turtonator
41. Drampa
42. anchor-thing
43. Sandygast
44. Palossand
45. Comfey
46. Wimpod
47. Badasspod
48. Komala
49. Bruxish
50. Type: Null
51. Silvally
52. Pyukumuku
53. Mimikyu
54. Oranguru
55. Passimian
56. Minior
57. Togedemaru
58. Bounsweet
59. Steenee
60. Tsareena
61. Jangmo-o
62. Hakamo-o
63. Kommo-o
64. Tapu Koko
65-67. Island guardians
68. little Lunala
69. Lunala
70. little Solgaleo
71. Solgaleo
72. Magearna
73. Marshadow

are the Ultra Beasts actually counted as Pokemon?

Neat thing I found playing the demo: If you capture a Pikachu with two electric-type moves (Nuzzle and Electroball) and equip it with Electrium Z, tapping its Z-moves button in-battle gives you two options for Gigavolt Havoc - one at 100BP, one at 160. Also they've got 10 PP each which I guess only applies to playing in-game

Why would you ever want to use a weaker version of gigavolt havoc though? :confused:

Accuracy isn't shown on Z-moves, although it is given in the tooltips for regular moves. Unless I want to get wailed on by a Yungoos with Mud Slap I can't test whether Z-moves always hit or if they can be affected by a user's accuracy.

The Gigavolt Havoc with higher base power does glow/sparkle every other second though which is helpful?

Additionally: You can equip multiple pokemon in your party with the Z-stone simultaneously

If there's a Gigavolt Havoc for every type, this'd make the various elemental hyper beams and recoil moves more usable, depending on how much BP Z-moves cap out at you could have a lot of fun with those

Lemme drop a mountain on folks with a Rock Wrecker Crustle, or use the ultimate Hydro Vortex Water Spout Wailord is what I'm sayin

Alola Persian is bad but I like everything else.

The demo is fun and this game's soundtrack rules.
Riding Tauros is way better than using a bike even though it's a shame it doesn't get it's own music like the bike does.
It's cool that you show up in your riding outfit in battle when you're wearing it but that does mean I won't be seeing the sweet outfit i will be wearing all the time.
The game looks really pretty and the animations are cool.
Being able to add a newly caught pokemon straight to your party even if it's full is good.
Switching pokemon positions in the menu just by pressing Y is an interesting change. Probably faster in the long run but it'll take a bit to get used to.
I like that when you're almost about to be seen by a trainer the borders darken. Should make it easier to avoid trainer battles when you want to.
If Pokefinder replaces dex-nav as a way to get cool and good pokemon without having to run around hoping for a 5% chance for them to spawn, i'll be happy. But i'm not certain it'll end up like that.
Team Skull are already the best villain team of all time and i've only interacted with them for like 2 minutes.

I'm hyped to play this game for real in a month.

* In addition to Salandit, there's New Pokemon based on a mushroom, a dolphin, a sea cucumber, a snowman, and some sort of "rugby monkey"---a monkey with a ball, apparently?

which ones are the dolphin/snowman

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
The only thing I've seen that I'm kind of disappointed in is Crabrawler's evolution. I was hoping it was just the single stage...

SyntheticPolygon
Dec 20, 2013

I hope they add a bunch more Alola forms in Pokemon Star or whatever, because I love most of the new designs and it's a good way to use cool old friends and still make them new and exciting. Also, from everything i've heard it was really well received.

And most importantly I just really want Alola Farfetch'd. Come on Gamefreak just do this for me.

Kinda hope there'll still be friends that haven't been leaked. Was hoping for alolan forms of the gen 1 fossils and the hitmonboys.

Tho my real hope is that my favourite dudes aren't a pain to find. I basically speedran my way to the safari zone in AS.

They might've thought Crabrawler's evolution was a Snowman. Don't know about the dolphin.

Did Pokestar things have shiny versions?

They did. There needs to be a shiny version in case someone hacks the "Pokemon" in and checks the shiny flag. I'm fairly certain most shiny palettes are still just randomly generated, just a lot of the bad ones like "lime green" are filtered out, so even not-actually-Pokemon get their palettes messed with.

So, yeah, the existence of battle preview images/shinies of the ultra beasts mean basically nothing. There's still no definitive evidence as to whether they're catchable or not, but given that they seem to be people transformed into science monsters, I personally think it's fairly likely they won't be.

Anything is okay if you don't get caught!

When I read Salandit's Pokédex blurb this bit troubled me:

Pokédex posted:

Salandit females not only release toxic gases, they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans. Inhaling these pheromones may cause opponents to be controlled by Salandit’s will.

Its evolution seems to have gone further in that direction. :(

The leak with an accurate drawing of it released like a year ago said fire/dark, so I think it's safe to say that's accurate.
