I guess they figured it wasn't worth trying after the demo slipup. And the Gamefreak guys going "we haven't announced them" yet at the con. And the leak from months and months ago.

The final starters might be the world kept secret in the world. It's like they're intentionally trying to be leaked constantly.

Alolan Persian's just plain old Dark... With Fur Coat as a regular ability.

Tapu Koko's Z-move is amazing.

Also Red and Blue are back.

well the new trailer

- owns
- is awesome

Incineroar is terrible and bad but the other two are incredible

also Red and Blue being in it is basically the coolest fuckin' thing

Gen 7 best gen by a mile

also did I misunderstand or do the abilities of the totem pokes completely render supereffective moves against that type inert?

Grass ghost would be a lot cooler if the last gen didn't introduce two of those that made more sense.

Incineroar is an honourable warrior that gets pumped up by the cheers of small children, and I am sad many will not appreciate it.

Also, I like that Primarina's description still involves it flipping off water balloons. I am glad it is using it's clown skills in it's new singing career.

This makes plenty of sense. He's Oliver Queen. He starts as a kid, grows into an arrogant rich jerk, and then "dies" when he goes missing and becomes Arrow Master.
