    Alolan Forms, New Pokemon, Island Challenges, and Z-Moves in 'Sun' and 'Moon'!

    I share your concern, partly because gym leaders are often my favorite characters in Pokemon, and partly because I'm worried there just won't be enough to do with only 4 big obstacles instead of 8. But there's a few things to think about: 1) The island trial puzzles could end up being more...

    A Bunch Of Information From China

    Ooh, I hope the one about the cat that can inherit a 2nd type from its father is true. That's a cool idea. I also like the sound of Cynthia and Looker coming back. I mean, Looker has his own signature pokemon now, Gumshoos!

    Alolan Forms, New Pokemon, Island Challenges, and Z-Moves in 'Sun' and 'Moon'!

    Yeah, this is clearly what they're going for. At first I hated how the Pokemon all have weird harnesses on them, but it makes sense if they're a rental service. And I like how this is an element inspired by gameplay, since you won't have to train an HM slave or make sure you have a surfer in...

    Alolan Forms, New Pokemon, Island Challenges, and Z-Moves in 'Sun' and 'Moon'!

    Alola forms, wow. None of us saw these coming. At first I was worried they were a new kind of mega evolution, but it's clear that these pokemon will appear in these forms all the time in the main game. They won't have separate Pokedex numbers, but maybe different movepools and base stats? Will...

    New Mechanics and Details for Sun & Moon

    So if I'm getting this timeline right: he knew the version legendaries before they were revealed, which they were back in May. Yet all the other Pokemon he had to talk about were either ones we know about now, or related to them, except for the "shovel" and "rock-paper-scissors" ones? That...

    Bounsweet, Bewear, Comfey, Mudsdale, Mimikyu, Wimpod!

    Wimpod has kind of an interesting ability. I assumed it would only matter in wild encounters, but the site says "if this Pokémon’s HP drops below half in battle, it will run away or swap out for another Pokémon." So we can assume a few things: 1. It only runs away once after an attack or effect...

    Bounsweet, Bewear, Comfey, Mudsdale, Mimikyu, Wimpod!

    I agree with this. Pokemon breeding should be rewarding, as it's always been a part of Pokemon lore, but so has treating Pokemon like your friends and getting stronger with them regardless of their pedigree. The way the metagame works, you can't compete without turning your game into a eugenic...

    Bounsweet, Bewear, Comfey, Mudsdale, Mimikyu, Wimpod!

    This bothers me a bit too, if only because the design spaces for those types is overlapping and you can't always tell by looking at something whether it's a Grass or Fairy type. But that happens sometimes with other pairs, like Rock and Ground or Poison and Dark. It makes sense that Fairy types...

    Bounsweet, Bewear, Comfey, Mudsdale, Mimikyu, Wimpod!

    I like Bewear and Mimikyu even more after seeing them in action. Bewear's size and posture really make it unique and nail home the costume mascot inspiration. And Mimikyu's sad head droop when its disguise is busted is just hilarious. About Mudsdale's weight: what this illustrates is they've...

    New Bear Pokemon Kiteruguma and Ghost Pokemon Mimikkyu in 'CoroCoro!'

    I hope Mimikkyu keeps its Japanese name, or is just spelled a bit differently, because that's a hilarious name. I remember the concept for a mimic pokemon that poorly imitates another, more popular pokemon was an idea getting kicked around by fakemon artists once. I'm really happy that GF went...

    A Bunch Of Information From China

    Much of this sounds suspect, but I'm 100% here for sea cucumber and capybara pokemon. This in particular sounds bogus. Even if we take it to mean "all Pokemon big enough to be ridden", like Stoutland and Rapidash, that's still a LOT of overworld models to render and animate. I'd be pleased if...

    Cutiefly, Charjabug, Vikavolt, Drampa, Togedemaru, Bruxish, and Tapu Koko Revealed!

    My money is on there being only 3 totem legendaries, and the unpopulated western island having something else story-related going on, like the battle with Solgaleo or Lunaala. Then there can be 1 legendary in the trio for each kind of "terrain" effect - Electric/Fairy, Grass/Fairy, and pure Fairy.

    Discussion Older Pokemon Confirmed/Hinted for the Alola Dex

    We can't necessarily assume every pokemon that appears in the trailers will be in Alola's regional dex. Sometimes they just throw pokemon into the battle scenes as like an example. For instance, Togedemaru was seen fighting an Emolga, but that doesn't mean Pikachu, Emolga, and Togedemaru will...

    Cutiefly, Charjabug, Vikavolt, Drampa, Togedemaru, Bruxish, and Tapu Koko Revealed!

    I'm coming around on Bruxish, with its sharp teeth + lips and weird psychic head bulb. It's clearly supposed to be creepy looking, and they succeeded. My only issue is how fish still just levitate above dry terrain in battle. The more they flesh out the battle environments in Pokemon, the...

    Pokemon What's Your LEAST Favorite Pokémon and Why?

    I'm another person who hates the Forces of Nature trio. If they looked like their Therian formes to begin with they'd at least be tolerable, instead of looking like 3 alt-colors of the same pokemon. Not a big fan of the Musketeer trio either. Probably my list of 10 least-favorite pokemon would...

    Speculation What is the Future of Remakes?

    I get what you're saying with HG/SS not being necessary to obtain all the pokemon at that time, but that's not the only reason they should do remakes. They took the opportunity in HG/SS to flesh out the pokemon world better than any game before it, both with every pokemon being able to appear in...

    Potential Gym Leaders' silhouettes?

    This is a great find. I can't believe I've already been spoiled to what the gym leaders' legs look like.

    New Pokemon Seen in Overworld of 'CoroCoro' Sun / Moon Trailer

    Woah, I like this a lot! I was wondering what the heck the studded collar shape could be, since generally Pokemon don't wear literal collars. I like your interpretation of it. It seems like the black bands are too low in the screenshot to have feet under them. But this is my favourite part of a...

    Pokémon Sun & Moon Region Discussion

    Today I thought to myself, "how many islands does Hawaii have again? Wouldn't it be funny if it had eight?" It has eight. It's like it was made for Pokemon.

    Detailed Analysis of ‘Pokken Tournament’, Much Revealed [1/31]

    Or it could be primarily a single-player feature, with a multiplayer mode that sets your pokemon to the same "level." That would be similar to the handheld pokemon games, actually.
