So we got a literal monster made of sand that doesn't have sand stream but instead an ability that will not help it against a Shellder's weak physical water attack.

Hmm :crossarms:

Team Skull's street gang motif makes me wonder if their goals are more down to earth than most of the other team's in Pokemon, given that Guzma's backstory was that he couldn't become a trial captain.

So I was looking at the number of Pokemon revealed for each main game before it's release.

Diamond and Pearl had 30 out of 151 new Pokemon. About 19%.
Black and White had 47 (not counting leaks) out of the 156 new Pokemon. About 30%.
X and Y had 41(not counting megas) out of 70 new Pokemon. About 59%.

Sun and Moon has 39 so far not even counting Alolan variants. :eyepop:

Good god. And the evolved forms of the starters are expected to be revealed like tomorrow. Anyone else feel this is a bit overkill?

Ultra Beasts are going to be Pokemon that can turn into humans and vice-versa.

Pokemon fusion is 100% the next gen's gimmick then.

Jesus between Gumshoos, Faticate, and giveaway Munchlax I think I'm gonna HAVE to pick the owl starter just to cover my eventual crippling Fighting weakness.

Drampa, Komala and Type:Null are normal too. Based type.

I'm going to name mine Roan and he's gonna carry me to the championship (or whatever Alolan ends up having).

I have only done this my first playthrough once.

Gen V made me very sad. Serperior is hideously bad without Contrary. Like almost unusable in the main game bad.

No Gen V starter is usable but it's your duty as a trainer in the United States of Unova to pull through.

The Pop Star Pokemon

I guess this reveal doesn't matter, it's a good thing the final starters leaked. Brionne is ugly but the siren is an improvement. Unfortunately Torracat evolves into an abomination. But overall these starters are so good that I want to use both Rowlet and Popplio.

Poison/Dark is pretty lazy tbh and if you're going to make an Alola Grimer there's a ton of more interesting ways to do it.

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed because it has the most potential for a creative change. A lava form would make sense and it would own. But it's just another Gen 1 with dark type slapped onto it.

Silvadi looks cool without the helmet. I'm going to force normal type on it since it's the best Alolan type so far and break the game.

Jararanga has dinosaur upside but looks slow.

Komala
Drampa
Comfey
Oranguru
Kommo-o
Crabrawler 2
Morelull 2
Metroid Bug
Starfish Urchin Muppet

And I'm even restricting myself from using Alolan forms and past Pokemon.

part of me wishes we could just have the pokemon sage starters as the starters for moon/sun

-> -> (grass to grass/flying)

-> -> (water to water/fighting)

I want that Kidling/Flaries thing so much and I'm not even much of a fire starter fan. Sage(?) has some the best fakemon designs.
