They also probably taste delicious, once you take the fur offor I mean.

We don't know it for sure, no, but it's the easiest guess ever. Crabrawler is Fighting type. the yeti crab looks all abominable snowman like, which lends itself to Ice type. done.

I think it's x days since you started the demo rather than on a certain date.

Other characters will presumably give you things too, so far I found girl in hat, man with pikachu, girl at marina and a police officer who all tell me to come back in a certain amount of days. There's also a shop that is said to open in one month but think that might just be referencing the actual games coming out.

Nah, the guy just says "there are people in the town you might want to visit on certain days". And today the Girl in the Hat tells me that the person shes been waiting for is coming in 1 day, so it matches the time of events I found online.

I think this is right. I downloaded demo on 18th, played it on the 19th, got the pretty wings on the 20th.

Why doesn't Water have a cutter move, Grass a flytrap-style trap move, or Ghost a life-sucking or poltergeist throwing attack move? The designers miss a lot of obvious ideas. Moves are much easier to fix than say, the type chart's balance or anything.

lol that's a lot of effort. RIP godKangaskhan.

and speaking of, I was telling a couple of guys the other day about Mega Kangaskhan, which they hadn't heard about before, and about how it learned Power-Up Punch. their jaws dropped. "That's broken." they said. well, I told them, Game Freak doesn't care about balance.
but I guess that's changed?


Speaking of all that, I'm wondering if it's possible very few Gen VII Pokemon will see OU competitive use. Kinda doubt either Robinhoot or Heeltiger will be up there, but Water/Fairy is a strong type combo, so if the siren has the right stats it could see use.
Turtonator might be decent, considering Fire/Dragon is a solid defensive typing with only three weaknesses (Rock/Ground/Dragon).
I guess Lycanroc Middday Form might see use as the rare fast rock type.
possibly Kommo-o, because it's likely the pseudolegendary.
Silvally will get booted to Ubers right quick.

maybe the Island guardians, if they're not too strong. They're all good typings (Electric/Fairy, and I assume based on Oricorio, Ghost/Fairy, Psychic/Fairy, and Fire/Fairy).

Not really. Lucario learns it as early as level 15 and then you'd only need to breed two babies.

Water type has razor shell it just has poo poo distribution. A wrap+leech seed sounds really overpowered, unless you just want grass type clamp. For the ghost move there is nightmare, but I guess you want more of a ghost type draining kiss. I think a possession move would be cool where if you outspeed a Pokemon and successfully land the move you get to take control of your oppenent's Pokemon's moves for that turn

It is way too soon to say how things will work out meta wise. We don't have any information on the typings, stats, movepools, or abilities for the leaked Pokemon.

It still is. Priority is the big thing in the Gen VI meta, and Gale Wings Brave Bird is pretty terrifying. It's also a very common sight in the Gen VI VGCs.

Talonflame has been OU since the day its hidden ability was properly programmed I'm pretty sure.

Typing is an important part of a mon's usefulness but it's important within the context of your team, its role, and the meta. Some types are just obviously fantastic like Dragon/Steel but if your team has a crippling weakness to ground or fighting moves in a meta where those are common then it's probably not a great fit for the last team slot. Similarly Fire/Flying sounds pretty blugh until you realize that you want something to switch in on grass, fairy, ground, and fighting attacks and your team has a good Defog user. Or maybe you don't care about resists at all and you just want to throw huge STAB Dragon attacks so you have three dragons on your team and only one Fairy resist and that can work too. It's all about the team rather than the individual.
