Meanwhile, the Trick Room buff is going to properly throw VGC back into the days of gen3-4 era anti-room counters, looking forward to hard biases towards bulky psychics/ghosts.

So no good hair colors but what about boy hair styles? Can I get a big dumb mohawk for my Alola boy?

I think it was the same in X+Y, I forget, but the pigtails option isn't available immediately or at least in the first hairdresser. I've seen hair colours I can't choose in the Festival Plaza too, so there are probably a couple of unlockable hair colours. (The one I've seen is a currant like purple)

For anyone playing the game, does the comparatively smaller pokedex mean the kalos problem of half its Pokémon not appearing in their unevolved or evolved forms is solved?

Also I said "gen3-4" but I just remembered trick room didn't even exist until gen 4. I'm just so used to Gardevoir, Dusclops, and Jirachi packing it that I associate it with gen3. Holy poo poo I'm getting old, way too old for pokemon

Is Electrode still worthless? Still upset that the geodude/golem line stole its gimmick and niche completely. That's cruel, how can a pokemon who clearly loves life and what it does so much be so unfortunate?

There are new consumables that boost a stat one stage when a particular terrian is up. The Tapus are absolutely going to be metagame defining this gen, particularly Koko and Lele. Koko has a less than ideal stat spread but it's still powerful and it synergises perfectly with a very wide range of things. Lele's Psychic Terrain has a lot less synergy but it's a faster, bulkier Gardevoir with double STAB on Psychic and Psyshock thanks to terrain effects. Expect this thing to be all over Ubers and VGC due to it's ability to shield Deoxys, Pheromosa and Kartana from priority moves.

When the Ultra Beasts come up, you don't have to use the special Pokeballs to catch them. I just used an Ultra Ball

Supremezero posted:So one thing I don't really understand. They're technically legendaries, but they're like smaller, less-powerful legendaries (because the big ubermensch are more what the UBs are for) to allow them to be viable in all "competitive" content (tournaments, battle frontier, etc) without special conditions.

Sylveon's evo methods are the exact same as before, just that Amié is called something else and is more fully featured. (Fairy move, Eevee is caught with one and 2 hearts)

This hiker just asked me what I think of "the largeness of his area," fought me with a mudbray, and then said "In my case, my volume is large in addition to my area!"

oddium posted:golem has always been able to explode and given how it's a dinosaur and electrode is a pokeball i think it's safe to say electrode stole golem's gimmick Alola Golem's Explosion is better than Electrode's because it is like Mega Glalie's, in that it gets a 30% power boost and is of an elemental type. Ghost-types are immune to Electrode's Explosion and Ground-types are immune to Alola Golem's, so that evens out.

Ghost-types are immune to Electrode's Explosion and Ground-types are immune to Alola Golem's, so that evens out. Alolan Golem's Explosion has the potential to be even more powerful than Mega Glalie's version. Despite the fact that both of them have the same base attack stat, Alolan Golem can actually hold an item. So Alolan Golem can come out on top in the end.
