As soon as these starters were reveal, my friends went all-out campaigning and such on facebook, twitter, etc, on which ones they'll pick. It was funny as hell to see. Rowlet's definitely the popular one (I call it Kotori bird after seeing a crossover picture of Rowlet and Kotori), but Litten's up there too. Other than my friends, it seems like Popplio is the underdog.

Though, I'd love to see the reactions once the evolutions are revealed :3

I was really excited about the island theme in the trailer since I've been awhile from home, couple years ~ hawaiiiii.
So why the heck is there a polar seal thing?
Unless it's a monk seal or something.

Phasm · « **Reply #6 on:** May 14, 2016, 04:35:09 AM »

I really don't know if i'm going to pick Rowlet or Litten, i like both of them. I feel like their evolutions will be dicisive for me, I'm pretty sure Litten is going to be a fire/poison type because of the symbol on his head, its the same as the alquemical symbol for sulfur.

Speaking of evolutions Mokurow might actually be real and i would bet its Rowlet's first evolution.

[attach=3]

Anyways what do you guys think of Legendaries, Solgaleo and Lunaala?

At first i didn't really like Lunaala but her design kinda grew on me

[attach=1]

Solgaleo really has a magestic look doesn't he?

[attach=2]

If you rotate the simbols on the logo you get Solgaleo's face and Lunaala's body which i find really cool.

It looks like Alooha is going to have plenty of Water pokemon which might mean lots of surf like Hoenn, this probably means that there is going to be a water gym leader or elite 4.

The lion looks dumb. Leaning toward Moon simply for that reason.

Kasu · « **Reply #8 on:** May 14, 2016, 06:06:27 AM »

I really really like Rowlet, but at the same time I want to go for Popplio because of the fact I always go with the water starter. ;-;

Whaaat? Liongendary is one of the best newmon designs I've seen in years. Moon clown, on the other hand...

Anyway. Litten is namelocked. Orin every time if female.

I'm not going for a starter until I know the final forms.

You're stuck with the basics for 11 levels in most cases; the middles for 20 and the remaining 64 are the final. Unless you're Gen 2 or Bulbasaur.

Although if I had to choose Rowlet > Popplio > Litten

Also if Litten winds up a Fire/Fighting type...

Also Rowlet is screwed unless it's a Sceptile [Or physical Sceptile] because pretty much every water gets Ice Beam and Rowlet is x4 weak. In which case; barring a secoondary type on Litten and Popplio that makes a reverse triangle; it'll be a case of Rowlet loses to both; Litten loses to Popplio and Popplio beats both.

My predicted reverse triangle (if there is one):
Litten - Fire/Dark
Rowlet - Grass/Fighting
Popplio - Water/Psychic

I'm not putting any bets on this.

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #12 on:** May 15, 2016, 05:08:32 PM »

I'd be so bummed if Popplio was the one to get Psychic because that means I'd be more inclined to pick it despite how much I don't like how it looks

Hoping for Grass/Psychic for Rowlet, personally.

wtb wild igglybuff in pokemon moon

There seriously have never been any wild ones except in DPPt, and only if you got really lucky talking to Mr. Backlot. Yet Cleffa are everywhere.

Could easily have a reverse triangle that involve Flying. Flying -> Ice -> Fighting; for example. Although that would make Litten Fire/Fighting so NOOOOOOO.

commandercool · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2016, 08:40:45 PM »

I'm happy to hear that these games aren't New 3DS exclusive. Nothing I care about has been yet, which is great.

They could change that typing for the evolutions. (Swablu comes to mind, but they swapped Normal for Dragon then. Hmm, could've sworn I had a better example. There are plenty of 'Flying' types that just don't have the typing, like the Lati twins.)

I might be reaching too hard to find precedents though. It probably will be Grass/Flying all the way.

Espadas · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2016, 02:35:14 PM »

Gotta wait for the evos for a definite decision but for now is a fight between the owl and the cat....

And BT is right, if female 100% ORIN

Fresh trailer for Sun Moon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW14HO7C1Dg

Confirmed details:
Region is called Alola and is based on Hawaii
Character customization is back
Endgame legendaries are...
* For Sun, Solgaleo, a Psychic-Steel type with Full Metal Body, which makes it immune to stat lowering effects.
* For Moon, Lunala, a Psychic-Ghost type with Shadow Shield, no idea what that does.
Pokedex Rotom

commandercool · « **Reply #25 on:** June 02, 2016, 05:29:05 PM »

Yaaaay character customization. Now give me long hair for boys plz.

Pokedex Rotom sounds super cool. What could it do? Pure electric or electric/ghost typing seem like the only ones that will make sense (maaaaybe electric/steel?) and it will probably have Levitate as an ability. That just leaves moveset to make it special. I'm guessing it will probably get a brand new move, right?

Chaore · « **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2016, 08:15:21 PM »

it does plot likely, a constant companion you can talk with maybe?

I'm interested what kind of changes LITERALLY TALKING TO A POKEMON is going to bring

PX · « **Reply #27 on:** June 03, 2016, 04:51:21 AM »

Sun Legendary is 2x weak to Fire
Moon Legendary is 4x weak to Dark

Apparently it "Lowers damage taken from damage-dealing moves when at maximum HP."

This basically sounds like a weaker Focus Sash...

Considering Sun Legend's ability is literally Clear Body...

Also Sun Legend is a glorified Metagross in typing. It even basically has the same ability. Not impressed. I will be even less impressed if it's a physical attacker. But let's face it, out of the two box legends which one would YOU bet on being physical?
