I don't even have a set team anymore. I'd need like, four teams to catch and use everything I want.
Mimikyu is a definite though. It has his own lil' section of my heart.
-
Gooooood morning ladies and gents and nonbinary persons, I'm Vash and this is an update on the latest Sun and Moon news.
On we go~
New Pokemon
Every Pokemon shown is either an evolution or an Alolan variation, and including Alolan Muk and Alolan Grimer this gives us a total of 8 new Pokemon. Amazing!
Silvally
Silvally is Type: Null's evolution, and has the new and unique ability RKS System (
Well that's not subtle at all!) with a unique move called Multi Attack that corresponds to this ability. RKS System allows Silvally to change its typing depending on the hold item its carrying and the typing of Multi Attack will match the typing that Silvally currently has. These hold items are called Memories, and have the same functionality as the Plates from previous games (except that they may only work with Silvally this time around; if not, then they may be replacing Plates). It's stated that Type: Null evolves after it finds a partner it can trust by deliberately destroying its restrictive helmet.... That's a little scary, actually. It can just... break out at any time then, couldn't it? Brr.
Hakamo-o & Kommo-o
Hakamo-o and Kommo-o are the second and third evolution of Jangmo-o, gaining the secondary Fighting type as it does. Hakamo-o is known to dance before it battles to showcase its strength, making its scales clang together to make loud sounds. It often loses these scales in a fight, but since they grow back extremely quickly and it's a point of pride amongst Hakamo-o to lose a lot of scales in battle, they aren't too fussed. Kommo-o however is a Pokemon of mythical importance to the people of Alola, as it's claimed that Kommo-o is crucial to driving out a darkness from this world (Ultra Beasts?) and battles to gain the power needed to defeat these dark forces. It can learn a unique move, Clanging Scales, that involves Kommo-o scraping the scales from its body to attack with the loud, disorienting clanging those scales make, at the cost of lowered defense.
Steenee & Tsareena
Steenee and Tsareena are the second and third evolutions of Bounsweet. As the calyx (the "pigtails") on Steenee's head are much harder, it doesn't have to worry about being stabbed or hurt by other Pokemon and now loves to play with them instead of fleeing. It's said to be difficult to live with as it tends to have very little regard for its surroundings, twirling around without abandon. When it evolves into Tsareena, the Pokemon becomes much more mature. Tsareena will punish any Pokemon or person using it for evil deeds, even if that person is its beloved Trainer. They're very protective and proud Pokemon, disliking inferior strategies when battling and using its strength and the help of other Steenees and Tsareenas to protect Bounsweets. (How sweet!) Tsareena has both a new exclusive move, Trop Kick, and a brand-new ability Queenly Majesty. Trop Kick lowers the opponents' Attack, while Queenly Majesty prevents Pokemon from using priority moves.
Ribombee
Ribombee is the evolution of Cutiefly. Ribombee collect flower pollen and nectar and create a ball of foodstuff called Pollen Puffs. Not only do these Pollen Puffs nourish the Ribombee, they can also be used in battle and cause dizziness and paralysis in their opponent, or can relief symptoms like tiredness. These beneficial Pollen Puffs are often sold at high prices in Alolan markets. Ribombee are also good indicators of the weather, as they hate being rained on and will usually retreat if bad weather's coming.
Alolan Grimer & Alolan Muk
And last, but not least, the Alolan forms of Grimer and Muk (aside: am I the only one who ends up thinking Grimer is the evolution? I constantly make this mistake). Their new form grants them the Dark type. Alolan Grimer were imported from other regions when the population of Alola rose and garbage disposal started becoming an issue. Since their primary diet is now garbage and sometimes other manufactured objects, its form changed, and crystallized toxins (its "teeth") began to form. It's stated that coming into direct contact with either of these Pokemon is dangerous.
New Trainers
Olivia
Olivia is the Kahuna of Akala Island, the second island you'll visit on your journey. She's said to be quite young, but shows extraordinary skill, but she's humble and simply insists that she's a normal girl. She also says in the trailer that all of her Pokemon are Rock-type Pokemon, and the first Pokemon she has in her team of three is Nosepass.
Ilima
Ilima's existence disproves something we initially believed - that there was only four trial captains, one for each island. With Ilima's introduction, we now know this isn't the case. Ilima specializes in Normal-type Pokemon, and they're a graduate from the Trainer school and very popular to the students of that school. It seems like Ilima's trial will be held on Melemele Island, as that's the island containing the Trainer School and the cave where their trial takes place is that first cave behind the ceremonial plaza.
I do believe that is everything!
-
I can totally fire off some opinions real quick though, plus this gets them out of my head so I don't accidentally muck up the info post with 'em.
1. Silvally looks awesome. Awesome, and, now that we've seen what its typing/hold items allows it to do, this plus its description as being a Legendary-killer, I think we can safely guess what Pokemon its meant to rival. That has some... interesting implications.
2. I love the dragons, that's some of the coolest designs I've seen in a gen full of cool designs, I'm so hyped. (Also nice, Dragon/Fighting confirmed. I think this is a first for this typing.)
3. THE BOUNSWEET LINE IS SO CUTE. I mean, Tsareena is beautiful but Steenee is so frikkin' precious I might slap an Everstone on the thing. Or just never use its evolution stone, however it evolves.
4. RIBOMBEE'S LIL CAPE.
5. Okay while I was initially kind of "ugh, okay" about Alolan Muk... holy fucking shit. That Grimer. I... I actually want it. It looks badass.
6. I'm going to marry Olivia.
7. Ilima looks AMAZING. Oh my gosh I love them. Why are the normal-type trainers so cute???
Okay that's... all the opinion posts. Now post time.
-
Hey so, if you want an update post from me I might be able to crunch one out real quick now or wait until I come back later this afternoon, whatever's cleverest for y'all.
I
just got up again and saw the news I haven't even watched it yet.
But I can see already that Gardevoir's going to have some competition in the Pokemon waifu department already........ -
What? I've said I like muscles lots of times.
NO. This feature does sound awesome, but it cannot be in Sinnoh remakes. It has no reason to be when the Underground serves virtually the same purpose (mining for stones and rare items).
And I don't think people want to see the Underground go away because it had the popular secret bases.
That's... exactly why I kind of want it? I mean, the Underground is a nice concept but it never did look like something I'd go down and do myself. It's a bit like berry farming for me, unfortunately - useful, but frankly ignorable enough to where you can function fine even if you never use it. So I was thinking that for people who didn't like going down and exploring the Underground yourself, you could use your PC pokemon instead (probably for some kind of cost, of course, but that's fine).
I understand this is probably an unpopular opinion and you in no way have to agree but, I'm just sharing mine. Sorry.
I hope you realize that I was completely joking there. Playful ragging and all.
You go above and beyond the call of duty here- I'd have ended up doing just that, if much at all.
I know, I know. ... I wish I had been about the time. :P
But I'm glad I can be of service!
-
Now that's not a sentence you read every day.
Depends on the company you keep.
It's after noon what is this ;)Thanks for this as always!
Now to edit the OP without accidentally deleting the poll... .
Listen the starter summaries took a goddamn hour because I was trying not to just straight up quote the site. -
We all know why I'm here and we're here so let's just speed on along.
New Pokemon
Only 3 new Pokemon revealed and they're all evolutions so there isn't much to really talk about here - other than that they're all pretty cute, in my opinion!
Dartrix, evolution of Rowlet
Dartrix is known as the Blade Quill Pokemon, and is extremely sensitive to other presences around them and can strike at those presences without even seeing the threat for itself. It's known for being snobby and a stalwart perfectionist, sometimes making a bigger mess in attempt to gloss over its mistakes. It can become so distressed by these mistakes or by being dirty it may not be able to battle, or simply quit battling out of personal despair. Dartrix may be troublesome to deal with, but with love, care, and affection it will grow into something powerful.
I can't believe I'm finally a Pokemon.Torracat, evolution of Litten
Torracat, the Fire Cat Pokemon, has a mane that serves as an additional sensory organ, allowing it to detect what's going on around it even in pitch darkness. It can also use this mane to find hidden enemies. Torracat's "bell" is actually a flame sac that reacts to Torracat's emotions. When the Pokemon gets emotional, the organ heats up and produces flames, a high, clear sound rings out, leading to the assumption that the sac is a bell. Torracat is an avid fighter that can bend iron bars with a single blow, but it often acts like a spoiled child in front of Pokemon or Trainers it trusts.
Brionne, evolution of Popplio
Brionne, the Pop Star Pokemon, learns how to dance by imitating others that live with it in its colony, and sometimes even from humans. It's a hard-working Pokemon and practices until it can memorize and execute its dances flawlessly, using those dances to distract and confuse opponents. It's common to find colonies of Brionne dancing together in the moonlight. It is a very positive and happy Pokemon, and will hide if it's feeling sad unless it's with a Pokemon or trainer it completely trusts.
Festival Plaza
The Festival Plaza is a feature that allows for interaction with other players (like the Mii Plaza I'm sure), and there you can complete requests given to you by other players for Festival Coins, which you can use to buy special clothes, dyes, and items. (Including what looks like special tourist items from each region?)
Seems like it'll be a nice, fun way to use the Streetpass function! (Considering I still don't know what the purpose of the XY Streetpass is, I quite like this...)
Poke Pelago
Poke Pelago appears to be a resort-like area specifically for the Pokemon you've deposited the PC. Run by a person named Mohn, the island to engage in all kinds of activities. You can attract wild Pokemon with Pokebeans to join your game from an island called Isle Abeens (cute), Isle Aphun allows Pokemon to scavenge and mine for rare stones and items, and Isle Evelup allows your PC Pokemon to gain experience and train through activity and drinks (like the smoothies from Pokemon XY). A very cute way to let your PC Pokemon do more than take up space. I think this is a great feature and I'd love to see it in other games.
(Like idk... remade Sinnoh maybe...)Mega Evolution
Mega Evolution's back!
... I don't know what to say here, there aren't any new Mega Evolutions revealed so it's just. Well. Yay if you wanted it?
Sun/Moon Special Demo
The demo for Sun/Moon will be released on the eShop on October 18th, 2016, and feature a special event Pokemon that can be carried over to the full game when it releases - Ash-Greninja, with the new ability Battle Bond. There's... also not much else to say about this, it's just -- here it is, enjoy, if you want it.
And this is just about everything! Hopefully this is a good summary despite me being extra me today.
-
Okay but quickly: the music playing during the starter evolution reveal is rad as hell and I'm praying we get it to here it some more in game.
All I wanted to say. Carry on.
-
If you're up for it, certainly. Always appreciated.
KK! It'll be a second, but I'll be sure to have it done before noon.
-
I did not want those leaks to be any kind of legit but
here we are.
Damn.
Now I'm really hoping for the split-evolution thing just for Litten's sake. I mean, Torracat looks amazing but fuck me, that final.
Not that this matters to ME, I mean, go Rowlet or go tf home.
But anyway!
Everything else looks like it's going to be a blast. I LOVE the fact that you can do things with your PC Pokemon! (Considering how in Y I just kind of... collected spares for WTing this is gonna be so profitable~)
Also do we need an overview post? Always up for one if necessary.
-
New official artwork for Pokemon grooming:
I don't know why, but I love Oranguru and the male trainer in this picture.
That's the cutest thing I've ever SEEN.
-
Yooooooo!
I kinda like Midday Lyconroc a bit more but Oranguru steals the cake for me. Moon It Is. (I mean, was there ever any doubt?)
Although since it's mentioned that Rockruff shares an evolutionary secret with the starters... and we've seen what it is... could it be...?
ALSO YOU CAN GROOM YOUR POKEMON
And I LOVE the new customization options. Dressing up was really fun in Kalos so it looks like it's gonna be a BLAST here.And the animation for Pikachu's Z-move is adorable.
I'm squealing.
-
Shame it doesn't give any indication of Lugarugan's typing.
As for UB-02 Beauty... yeah I'm thinking what everyone else is thinking.
But what's up with UB-02 Expansion? Is it the same as UB-02?
Think just about every one of us is. Both theories each got a major boost here.
EDIT: Why didn't this occur to me sooner.
"Rockruff and the starters share a secret."
We know now that Rockruff has a split evolution depending on whether it evolves during the night or day.
Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that the starters will likewise have split evolutions determined by the time of day. I know they're not "split evolutions" technically, but look at Lugarugan's two forms: completely different designs, potentially different typing and abilities, almost certainly different stats. I'm kinda glad we have something this extreme compared to the "choose your secondary typing depending on what island it evolves on" rumors.
OMG
THIS WOULD BE SO COOL!
Maybe that's why the different versions are set at different times. While you could get either form in either day, maybe the daytime form will be more associated with Sun, and the nighttime form with Moon.
-
And I was juuuust about to swing in here with the images myself but -- there it is.
Okay Rockruff is awesome and I kind of want both forms but is anyone else looking at UB-02 Beauty and thinking what I'm thinking?
-
I mean, it's Wikipedia, but here's a whole little explanation of the archaic meaning of aether.
It's basically classified as the fifth Western element, along the likes of fire, water, earth, and air, 'cept a lot of things prefer to stick to the classic four since aether is harder to grasp as a concept.
-
The JP trailer shows what seems to be UB-01 coming out of a portal. Was it confirmed to be artificial...?
Also Gladion has that aching blood, his pokeball hand is twitching.
[/throws myself into a hole] I am never getting out of Owain hell ever, it seems.
-
Type:Null was using Tri-Attack Vashiane
Alright. Took that line out.
-
A new day, a new summary post. Let's just knock this out real quick, shall we?
*Just note that for this post to lay out The Facts so no theorycrafting from me in this post.
New Pokemon/Alolan Forms
We have a total of 3 (4?) new Pokemon shown off in this video. In this section I'm only going to mention 3 because frankly, the fourth deserves its own section.
Type: Null
This is a... very interesting Pokemon. Its category and its design clearly point to it being synthetic (it is literally known as the Synthetic Pokemon), and the helmet that Type: Null wears is said to hinder its agility but also that it was designed with the intent to rival legendary Pokemon in strength, meaning that it's likely to be a slow, but very hard-hitting.
It's also stated that Type: Null was created to "to complete a certain mission", and that mission required it to be able to be just as strong as legendaries. Interesting indeed.
Jangmo-o
Precious smol.Known as the Scaly Pokemon, it has a lot of pride in its tiny little body about its personal training regime, which it uses to hone its fighting skills and become stronger. It never turns it back on its opponent, so trainer of Alola believe that Jangmo-o is a very valiant and brave Pokemon (although really it's just more strategically sound for it to keep facing forward). They also tend to gather in groups in canyons and caves and help each other train (possibly a hoard encounter?).
Also interesting to note that while Bulletproof isn't a new ability, its only been seen as a hidden ability for a Gen 6 starter. Bulletproof renders bullet and bomb moves utterly ineffective, and some cannon moves.
Alolan Raticate
He Big.
Since these Raricates tend to live in urban areas, their diets are richer in calories and the end result is... [/gestures vaguely in AR's direction] That.
They're also appreciated by Alolan chefs because of their very advanced taste buds, so chefs will use Raticates to shop for ingredients and taste test new recipes. Raticatouille, anyone?
Time DifferencesPokemon Sun and Moon are set 12 hours apart, which will affect how various events in the game play out. This is... interesting, especially considering how Pokemon tends to function on the DS' internal clock. Will Pokemon Moon be twelve hours ahead? Or behind? As of yet, there's not enough information to draw on how things would change.
The Aether Foundation
The Aether Foundation is a organization that cares for injured Pokemon and operates from an artificial island called Aether Paraside. (Located on that odd island in the middle of the four main islands?) It's also stated that they conduct various research projects here.
Anyway, let's meet them!
Lusamine
Lusamine is the Aether Foundation's President, seemingly in charge of the entire organization. She appears to be quite caring, stating that she'll gladly share her love to all Pokemon in need of it, even Pokemon from other regions. (Although the word choice of being worthy of her love is interesting. What if something wasn't?)
Faba
Slim Shady.Faba is known as a Branch Chief, an odd title as we're not certain what "branch" means. Do they have another location? Maybe smaller locations? It's currently up for speculation. We can't glean much about him (other than that he loves his sunglasses), but he does tell us where Aether Paradise is, which I've already mentioned above.
Wicke
Wicke is also as mystery, as she's mentioned to be an assistant Branch Chief, probably an assistant to Faba. She's said to be very caring and kind, making her well-loved by other Aether employees. She specifically mentions keeping Pokemon that are targeted by Team Skull here, and Pokemon that simply need extra protection. The first few Pokemon that come to mind are Pyukumuku, Bounsweet, Wimpod, and Wishiwashi (bless their tiny selves, they're trying), so it's possible that we'll meet a few in Aether Paradise.
The Aether organization also has employees under its service, essentially grunts, but it is interesting to note that it's mentioned that their uniform changes depending on which branch they work under. A little detail, but one to pay attention to in case it comes up.
Gladion
Gladion is a Team Skull Enforcer, seemingly helping Guzma keep Team Skull's goals in order. He's also quite mysterious, but it's mentioned that his preferred Pokemon partner is Type: Null. This is definitely a fact to keep in mind for later, not to mention the possible questions that raise from his appearance.
Zygarde Cells and Cores
Another short section because there isn't much to mention that we didn't already know. Although, there IS one interesting bit, and that's exactly who is giving you the quest to search for the cells and cores: it's Dexio and Sina, Professor Sycamore's assistants. It's nice to see them again!
Pokemon Sna - uh, Poke Finder
This is a very interesting feature, as it appears to be an interactive camera feature that allows you to share your photos with other players in some kind of online album where people can rate the quality of the photos they see. It's also been shown that your Rotom Pokedex can interact with both you and this feature, which is a nice touch!
Ultra Beasts
Ultra Beasts are a new and extremely mysterious addition. They are deeply feared due to their strange powers and capability to pose a threat to both humans and Pokemon. There are multiple of these Ultra Beasts, and they're all referenced to be a code name. The Aether Foundation is also using its research branch to try and learn more about these creatures.
UB-01, the Ultra Beast introduced in this trailer, is described as being comprised of a glass-like substances, yet it can and does freely change shapes often. It is unknown whether the creature has any sense of willpower or capacity for emotions, it is observed to have some kind of survival instinct, and its movement often mimic a young girl's.
And that, I do believe, is everything. Sorry about the wait for this, typing this up took longer than it normally does. ~~
-
Yeah, but still... there's "random Zoroark event" and there's "character who's said to be important to the story is actually a Pokemon".
So much of this is just so crazy- if any leak had said this stuff, it would've been dismissed outright.
I didn't say Team Skull was evil- I'm saying that Guzma himself probably is. The average Skull Grunt wouldn't know about it- hence they could be mostly harmless people who Guzma riled up and banded together for his and his employer's intentions.
I mean, it's canonically happened though. Zoroark is known for being an illusion Pokemon. It has the same ability as Ditto, and isn't there something in canon about Ditto being able to shift into people, or is that also a theory?
Actually, speaking of theories we've already got that really popular theory that Ditto are actually failed clones of Mewtwo. Mewtwo, which is a created Pokemon.
They might have been trying to make something else and got UB-01 instead, which could tie into its instability and ability to change forms.
I mean, these are all just theories, but there's enough little hints from past instances with shifting into humans and the flavor text from the site itself to make this something to think about, at the least.
-
Well, I'm here and it shouldn't take too long so ~
All those reveals kinda eclipsed the other cool things. Moon and Sun have inversed day and night cycle.
And we have our Pokemon Snap sequel. Kinda...
UB-01's movements "ressemble those of a young girl." There's definitely a link between those two.
This may not be far from the truth, actually.Ultra-Beasts reminds me about the eaters in Digimon Story : Cyber-Sleuths.And in French, They're called Ultra-Chimeras, whiel an actual Chimera is revealed (Type:Null). Coincidence ?
If UB-01 is actually Lillie, I'll eat my own hat. (That's actually a little sad, in a way. You go and make a friend you thoroughly believe is human and then you find out they're the unnamed, unexplained monstrous threat and you're going to have to take them down.)
Okay but, with all this in mind. What if Lusamine is Lillie's mother? Just, not in the way we're expecting her to be. Lusamine created UB-01, and it takes the form of a young girl, which is its favorite form. Lusamine raised Lillie like she was her daughter and most people know nothing about the truth, because UB-01 is smart enough to not reveal itself.
Except Gladion knows. Gladion knows, and he knows that UB-01 is dangerous and he's sickened by the thought that Lusamine is just letting this thing wreck havoc for The Foundation's amusement, so he rebels against The Foundation and joins Team Skull, and tells Guzma, and Guzma makes Gladion his enforcer and sends him to scout out for UB-01 while Guzma and Plumeria build up their resources to confront The Foundation.
...
What the actual ****.
What has Pokemon become anymore?
Actually let me be blatantly clear with what I'm referencing here: The Lostlorn Forest event in Black/White and Black 2/White 2.
TD;LR
a Zoroark deliberately takes the form of a human woman to trick people and pokemon away from her home.
-
Okay, so, while I'm here, for once (sorry about the last couple of times). Summary post, y/n?
-
Lillie
Gladion
Lusamine
I'm seeing a family resemblance here.
Holy SHIT dude. Oh my god.
The plot thickens.
-
I'm actually
really intrigued by all of this.
Lillie seems like she's clearly connected to the Aether Foundation - same color scheme, even looks like Lusamine. And since the Aether Foundation more likely that not is trying to stop Team Skull, so Lillie is probably related to the President (daughter? niece?) and uses her connections with them and the professor to assist you on your journey.
And all the new Pokemon look really cool - well, and then there's Raticate but... it's a Raticate. I don't know what you were expecting. But holy shit, Type: Null? UB-01? UB-01 is REALLY interesting because it's got nearly the exact same color scheme as Lillie. Crack-pot theory time. Lillie is actually a Pokemon disguised as a human trying to assist its fellow legendaries from being stolen and used for evil by Team Skull. Plot twist.
And ULTRA BEASTS. BOY. STUFF'S GETTING REAL.
(Also Gladion is cute af. I'd let him fight me.)Also
Alolan Raticate prefers to eat only fresh fruits and high-class ingredients. There are rumors that a certain top-notch restaurant takes advantage of Alolan Raticate’s taste buds by bringing it along when choosing ingredients to buy, and having it taste test new dishes.Amazing. Ratatouille is real and alive in 2016.
-
Also guys, I have to show you their explanation about Alola Raichu:
Even Pokémon researchers don’t know why Raichu’s form changed in the Alola region. The people of Alola seem unconcerned by the question. Their guess: maybe it ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA, I bet they thought of this explanation in like 10 minutes xD.
We're all going to the nearest Denny's right now, we're gonna be the cutest forum posters on the BLOCK.
Fire Emblem Fates Sorted into Hogwarts Houses
in Fire Emblem Fates
Posted
Okay, well, before I sort anyone I kind of need to showcase the system I use to sort people, because it's a little irregular and relies less on traits and more on a person's morality and how they approach problems. Traits are nice, but morality/problem solving allows for more facets of each house to be explored (positively, negatively, and neutrally).
Anyway, here it is in full. I usually work off what's shown in the basics link. It's a good read, even if you're not into it.
But, for a quick summary:
And some charts.
I mean, I'll gladly take requests if there's a character you want me to sort like this because I don't even know where to start. There's a lot of characters.
