Why isn't Giovanni's kid in the Rainbow Rockets actually

He'd be the Gen 2 rep since there isn't a real one for that

What's the deal

He spent the entire game loudly stating that he hated his dad and is determined to destroy Team Rocket to get back at him for being a crappy father. Also, nobody even remembers the losers in charge of Team Rocket's plan to beg Giovanni to come back.

I like her. It's kind of rare to see girls portrayed as "goofy" but not manic pixie dream girls.

Also, in regards to the trailer: holy poo poo.

Honestly, despite their flaws, XY is great for this. They have most of the 'dex up to that point, and most of what's missing is just legendaries and starters.

This official news gives a little more credence to the possibility of Alolan Oddish , in which case I went from "not at all hype" to "extremely hype".

One of leaks that said there would be one also called Rainbow Rocket which seems specific enough to give it a lot of credence.

Having just one extra alolan form would be pretty weird though, so we can probably expect at least one more.

Bellosum is already just Johto form Vileplume. Victrebel should get the form instead. :colbert:

Alternate take: Alolan Gloom evolves into Bellossom by level up, but only evolves into Vileplume via moon stone.

I said it in ORAS and I say it again, someone in GF's really knows what people didn't want but needed, what between riding a Giant rear end Dragon into SPACE and headbutting a meteor into oblivion and now Legion of Doom Rocket. I want to believe the same guy is responsible for both of those decisions.

A little bummed down that ORAS' Archie and Maxie's designs were among the few cool things ORAS did and they are not part of this timeline :(

Moon continues to have slightly-worse exclusives for everything except the box legendary, which is a million times better. Probably just gonna bank in a vulpix egg and play in ultra moon so nebby can evolve into its true destiny
