Not just you. The cover legendaries have cute pre-evos.

Also, the Big Red Mosquito dude was an Ultra Beast that got announced a while ago. Exclusive to Sun while the Cockroach lady is exclusive to Moon. Unless you were talking about another of the mons. In which case, oops.

Ohhh right I remember hearing about the Ultra Beasts but I somehow managed to never see that one.

I really like that the lovely route 1 bird turns into a giant toucan

How the gently caress did they not learn how to make the 3D run well in sun & moon? Poke finder runs at like 3fps and it's not even a battle.

There are some people who think Pokémon should be more like regular animals, and stay on all fours if they started out being on all fours.

It's basically a meme at this point that every fire type turns into fire/fighting and stands on 2 legs by the time it's fully evolved and people were hoping for a bit more variety this time

The 3ds is so graphically outdated it's not even funny

I imagine it probably runs better on a New 3DS but even the technology in that is seriously old

Wimpod's evo is amazing as is bubble bug. So many good bugs after the disappointment of gen VI :allears:

Monster hunter 4U & Generations can run the 3d on full at 30+ fps with about 3 times as much happening on screen at once and gamefreak can't even have one pokemon on screen without the 3ds blowing up. poo poo's just weird.

3DS hacking tools didn't really work when X/Y was released. Also no demo so we didn't know most of the Megas or even normal pokes like Goomy until people got their hands on early copies and played through the game.

Someone earlier said the Chinese for snowman can also be read as yeti, as in Crabrawler's evolution.

Side note: Pokemon with different OTs will still ignore commands unless you complete 'Grand Trials', which I assume are beating the Kahunas. Greninja, for example, won't listen to you unless you complete two Grand Trials.

Probably because they future-proofed the pokemon models to an absurd degree, they're all ridiculously high polygon models while Monster hunter artifacts all over due to the smart shortcuts they take.

The X/Y leak was just someone who got their hands on the game early and just played through it crazy quick to find out everything.

Also I've been wanting a coconut crab pokemon for ages now. I've been wanting a yeti pokemon even longer.

Yeti Crab is everything I could have wanted :swoon:

Also if Ultra Beast can be captured, this gen could potentially be a quarter legendaries.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
I'd like to trade in the Alolan Forms for more new Pokemon please. I wish they'd stop doing that. I love the designs of some of them, but I would prefer more new Pokemon instead. I didn't like when they did this with Megas either.

I'm in the minority I guess based on this thread but I'm never a fan when one of the games doesn't have a full roster and pads it out with old Pokes. Give me only new Pokemon, all the time.

i like the megas, primals, the alolan forms, all of them are good. do you also want nintendo to ditch shinies? just curious

its weird having seen this many RPGs use different colored versions of the same baddies in their games and feeling like that imo

Yeah just to represent the other side of it, I love this sort of attention to old forgotten pokemon. Like Beedrill was useless for about 20 years before it got a Mega which is really cool to me, and Golem was one of my old favorites and I'm really interested in what the Alolan Golem will do differently.

Also Hat Form Pikachu whatever it is

Shinies aren't really the same thing, they don't fill out the roster like Megas and Alolan forms do

Golden Goat posted:

They're not. Dugtrio just now has beautiful golden locks. He's still Dugtrio tho

But like I said I'm in the minority

On the other hand I love that new Pokemon with the big mushroom hat.

Golem is one of my fave gen one pokemon, and I'm very unsure on its Alolan form.

Its arms got more stubby and it's got facial hair and it's got a weird thing on its back, what happened to you Golem?

Alolan Pokedex for anyone who wants to see in-game mons

Fun notes
1) The gen IV and V fossils are there but no others are. Plus Aerodactyl. We might get them in-game?

2) Butterfree without Beedrill is odd but not unexpected now that Beedrill has a mega.

3) Very, very few Gen VI pokes overall. There's only a few lines represented

4) Porygon is actually in a national dex again!!!

5) also gently caress you wingull i am so goddamn sick of you
