Dodrio and Hoothoot from XY8!

The official Japanese Pokemon Twitter has revealed Dodrio from XY8! Hoothoot was also revealed last night and I posted its translation to our Twitter immediately after. We will often post smaller updates to our Twitter that don’t quite deserve their own dedicated news story, so be sure you’re checking it. Thanks goes to Hannes S. for the translations below!

Note that the site’s servers are undergoing maintenance this week, so please excuse any technical errors, login issues, e-mail issues, or ugly fonts you’re encountering. We’re tackling all those pesky server problems that have been plaguing the site all summer and we’re going to slay them once and for all! :p
