Pokemon Sun and Moon General Discussion: Official Site updated to include every new 'mon

[Anacybele]

So I'm not crazy! I knew I wasn't the only one! (although I used 4)

Oh wow. XD

Well, I've decided that these will be on my team for sure:

Litten/Popplio (depending on the evolutions), Mudsdale, Pikipek, Comfey, Bounsweet

These are definite maybes:

Rockruff, Cutiefly

I mean, I like them all, but I can only pick six and I'm still thinking that I'm either going to love Rockruff's evolution(s) or hate it/them. As for Cutiefly, it's super cute, but I already got Comfey up there as a Fairy type, so I'll only really use if I don't feel like using anything else instead.

So the art director of Pokemon is blocking Twitter users for posting images about the starters' evolutions.

From Pokejungle

Reports have come in of Twitter users being blocked by Ken Sugimori, the art director of the Pokémon franchise, for inquiring about or sending pictures of the previously covered starter evolutions. Although there is absolutely no confirmation that these starter evolutions have any legitimacy, it is interesting that he’d go so far as to block people if they were fake or fan creations. I’d also like to take a moment to ask you not to tweet at him because doing so is going to have no positive outcome for you or our community.

[Anacybele]

Oh wow, I think this pretty much confirms that those evolutions are real. Why else indeed would Sugimori have gone this far?

Though I won't change my vote to Popplio just yet. I could still somehow be wrong.

[Alertcircuit]

It could just be him thinking those users are annoying and blocking them for his own peace of mind.

I think I'm still Rowlet, also we don't need another fire/fighting starter.

[Anacybele]

Who said that Litten evo was Fire/Fighting? I heard it was supposed to be Fire/Dark.

Sugimori probably has a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and thus can't say if they are real or not.

Of course, there are some people who never learn...

Seriously, why they do that? Why they ask, knowing that he won't answer them?

He probably blocked because they were anonoying him.

[Espinosa]

The internet gives people too loud a voice, I guess.

[Emeraldfox]

also we don't need another fire/fighting starter.

Yes we do.

Sticking with Rowlet because I'm going to do an all grass run of SM

[Magical Glace]

All I know is that I'm not picking Litten anymore if those leaks are real.

That thing looks awful. I like cats because they're cute, but I don't like that sort of build.

I'll probably pick Rowlet if they wind up being true.

#RowletMasterRace

And Litten's evo probably won't look bad in-game; the only pokemon that hasn't been quite up to snuff post-gameplay reveal is Bewear, imo.

[JSND Alter Dragon Boner]

Giff Rowlett Hurricane so i can spam Hurricane and click Giga Drain on Rotom W

I'm just not really a fan of overly-muscular designs like that. It seems like a sully on one of my favorite kinds of animal (cats, my other favorite being foxes) by combining it with something ridiculously displeasing to my eyes.

So regardless of its model I'll probably still dislike it.

[Konnor97]

I still like the Litchador.

[Anacybele]

I'm with Glac, though my reason for hating that design is CAN WE HAVE A MOTHER****ING QUADRUPEDAL FIRE STARTER THAT STAYS THAT WAY FOR ONCE? Yeah.

However, because I LOVE the Popplio evo, and the Rowlet one is kinda cool too, I could live with it.

[Emeraldfox]

Typhlosion walks on all fours, though.

[Anacybele]

No it doesn't. All its art depicts it on two legs.

[Magical Glace]

No it doesn't. All its art depicts it on two legs.

Explotaro/Exbo at least has some scenes where he runs on all fours, for whatever it's worth.

[Emeraldfox]

Typhlosion is also classified as a quadruped.

[secondworld]

Despite standing on two legs during battle, animations often depict Typhlosion moving on all fours.

[Anacybele]

I'm still talking about something that is ALWAYS on four legs.

[Nym]

Why four, three could also be awesome if they manage to do an awesome design (but I get what you mean).

I'm also getting tired of the human-like design.

[The DanMan]

Welp, new info in sub-24 hours.

Do you think it will be new pokemon? A proper look at Alola? Details on the villain team and gym leaders? Personally hoping for the last one.

I'm hoping for the reveal of not only the villain, but also the Champion as well.

Anyway, I hope that,as the villain of the game, instead of a Team, we get a person that works alone for his objective, but I'll be fine even if we get a Team villain again.

[Magical Glace]

Honestly I just want some story information. Villain mooks, early leaders...

I feel like we've been getting new Pokémon and nothing else lately. I'm a bit tired of it.

[Anacybele]

I kinda would like a break on the new Pokemon too. Though I'd be fine with a new Pokemon or two if we also got something like an explanation on the bracelets or who the villains are.
