Most of the people mad about the Scottish trainer on twitter seem to be actual scots mad at the poor attempts at a Scottish accent in the fanart and such.

What type combination you reckon the Snubbull family should have instead of fairy? I can definitely see a Black Shuck themed ghost/dark Houndour I spose'.

The accent attempts are pretty dire to be fair, they're about as authentically Scottish as Dick van Dyke's accent was authentically Cockney. All the same though, not worth getting worked up over. At least it's not worse than what this anime did to an english accent:

There's nothing wrong with having dreams, but I hope you don't think that will happen. You can't milk nostalgia with Gen 2, only with Gen 1, and that's the only thing Game Freak lately cares about.

Also Game Freak never reuses good ideas so we won't get more regional forms despite being a really cool thing.

This was exactly my friend's reaction to Scorbunny, minus the Scottish. Yeah, it's really cute, and she like cute pokemon. But you can tell it's going to evolve into something gross and buff. If not actually fighting it's probably going to have that vibe at least.

I think a lot of this is the trauma of adorable Litten evolving into Incineroar. I don't think Incineroar is bad, and I've come to actually quite like him, but he is decidedly uncute, while Litten is one of the most adorable starters there is.

People really were expecting Litten to remain a quadruped. They don't realize that quadrupeds tend to be less versatile then bipedal Pokemon though.

As someone who thinks cats are adorable and has no interest in wrestling: yeah. Traumatic. :colbert:

Not making GBS threads on Incineroar. I eventually came to appreciate him on his own terms, and he is a fun goofy pokemon. But he's not got much of a cute house cat vibe to him anymore.

On a related note what the heck happened to Oshawatt? Generations later I just can't wrap my head around that one.

I think they encountered Artist's Block regarding where to progress Oshawott's line. Then they went to the local aquarium and saw a sea lion there.

So i just started Ultra Sun after like 4 gens of no Pokemon (except Heart Gold) and:

.My Pokedex is talking to me?
.I get experiecne for capturing POkemon?
.And they healed my pokemon before the battle with my rival, instead of forcing me to lose and start all over because I forgot to save

In conclusion: Kids today have it too easy and the game I played when I was 10-13 is the best one.

I thought Litten evolving into Incineroar was par for the course in starter evolutions and despite that being my starter for Sun, Rowlet is 100% the cutest one.







Yeah, I picked Litten because of Inceneroar.

Your Pokedex is possessed by an electric ghost. Really. They come standard now.

Been kinda funny watching Pokedexes evolve from futuristic pocket computers to just a tablet program.

Incineroar is adorable because he's a giant buff dude with a heart of gold and rainbows. I 100% feel like he would still climb into boxes that don't fit and lay on your keyboard so really what's the problem?

I get the feeling Scorbunny is going to be like the Greninja of this gen. Something sleek and fast so probs electric or steel although in my heart I desperately want fairy. I still think the company's well aware we don't want any more fire/fighting at this point though.
