If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
The thing with the speed this gen is, as far as the game itself is concerned, it feels like Game Freak wanted a chance to do over their original stat distributions with a new chance at balancing, but didn't want to make massive changes to every pokemon, so lets use Alola as a testing pool, see how it works and if you like it apply it to the rest of the pokemon.

The problem is until that point, all of Alola only works against Alola, minus a few stand outs.

Aw man, Day wolf is so much faster than Night Wolf...and it has a priority rock move.

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

Instead of asking if you're a boy or girl, the professor just says "Which of these ten pictures should I use for your profile?" which is sort of funny.

I'm playing now. I guess if anyone has any early game questions point 'em at me.

e: Your family has a pet (non-alolan) meowth.

Its weird Pikachu and Hat Pikachu both get unique lovely Zmoves considering Light Ball is a thing. You'd think they might be decent nukes at least instead of literally the lowest powered Z moves in the game with no riders beyond a crit chance increase.
