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

[Emerson]

Aww, that's adorable!

Anyone know what it's based on? I have my ideas, but I haven't 100% convinced myself yet.

Sea urchin? Riddler did hint on medusa though, and that could work.

Sea Urchin is what I thought too. I'm still not 100% sure because Sea Urchins don't really look like that

What the heck is that thing? Anyone have any idea what it's based off of?

It might be Poison/Water type, but it's definitely at least partly poison.

EDIT: I originally spoilered cause they're kinda big images.

Whatever it is, I want one.

[The DanMan]

Meduseaurchin!

[Water Mage]

Maybe it's a counterpart to Pyukumuku? They both seems to be based on creatures that live on the sea floor.

[Emerson]

Well, if you don't mind me, I'm about to go put off drawing Tsareena to draw this little... thing.

I'm actually thinking about putting this thing on my Moon team (Currently Litten, Lurantis, Alolan Vulpix/Sandshrew).

Maybe we'll have a new Water/Poison type to make up for how bad Quilfish is!

yes i know tentacool i was just saying

Demo is live in Japan.

Unknown-thing chucking?

[Emerson]

Ah, there it is! Thank you.

[The DanMan]

Super Potions now heal 60 HP and Water Shuriken is now special.

Demo summary here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/57z5en/the_pokemon_sun_and_moon_demo_has_leaked/

[Anacybele]

That link should go in the other thread since it's about the demo being leaked. :/

Well, it's officially out in Japan and Australia- "leak" doesn't even make sense in the context used.

[Anacybele]

Oh yeah, timezone differences. Forgot about that. xP

[Ema Skye]

Plus with how they built the demo in terms of data structures, nothing significant is able to be leaked. If it's not part of the demo, it's been removed from the demo's data, so it can't be data mined.

[NekoKnight]

I wonder why they made Water Shuriken special. Greninja is a mixed attacker with only marginally better Special Attack. I guess it helps Accelgor....?

[The DanMan]

Welp, we have two new trial captains and a guy who looks like a Kahuna:

Ghost girl:

Ground girl (those 'brows):

Ben Affle- I mean potential Kahuna:

[Ema Skye]

How are the trial captains and Kahunas working again?

There's a trial for each type and a Kahuna for each island?

[The DanMan]

Kahuna for each island, no real criteria as of yet for Trial Captains.

[Ema Skye]

Right.

The theory was Fire/Water/Grass/Electric Kahunas, and the island dieties (Tapu Koku and its friends) matched the type of each Kahuna.

Is that theory still holding water?

[The DanMan]

Right.

Olivia was revealed in the most recent trailer.

A Kahuna specializing in Rock types.

That theory got smashed.

Apparently you have to press "A" to open doors now. That seems like a peculiar little change to me. =/

I don't think that was the case in past Pokemon games, right?

nope. either way, a lot of RPGs are like that. I think I can get used to it.

[The DanMan]

Just like to clarify something: stuff straight from the demo (those images of trial captains, for instance) are allowed in this thread.

Stuff that is only found in the demo via datamining is not, and should be posted in the other thread.
