more art of starters. https://imgur.com/a/LyUhW Owl starter is adorable, it has a fucking bowtie and everything. May be the first time I ever choose a grass starter (if the evolutions don't suck)

Aesthetic wise, I think Gen 7 has the weakest starter line-up. I have grown a bit of a liking to them since their reveal but they're still not better than the Gen 5 starters (Prior to Gen 7, I thought Unova had the weakest line-up). But I guess time will tell once I see the other evolutions.

A Hawaii based region looks really neat and Game Freak is finally taking advantage of the 3DS hardware and it really shows if you compare it to X & Y.

I'm still kinda meh on the region name. "Aloha" just sounds kinda cheesy and I keep thinking it's called the Hello region.

A plain orange lizard, the geico gecko, a ordinary chick, a chipmunk, a PEAR(CHIKORITA IS A PEAR), normal ol' turtles, a penguin and otter.

This lineup is the same as all of them.
Ordinary animal, color coded to show type, turns to bigger/unique version of same animal.

As for typing and colour, yeah it's pretty much the same across the board.

Their individual designs are not all the same and I think Gen 7 falls short of that compared to the previous 6 generations. That's what I'm getting at.

So yeah tons of Pokemon news apparently. It'll be at E3 and they showed off the legends and stuff

that lion legendary looks so cool. best thing since Entei

I'm gonna choose Litten and name it Mixtape

It'd be amazing if Game Freak really planned all this out and went through all this effort to make the story that convoluted and layered, especially for a game like Pokemon.

Hell yeah, that shit was deep. I also really liked the old drawings of earth and the descriptions. Just really fun art design concepts.

YOOOOOOO SO MANY FUCKING CHANGES. THIS SHIT LOOKS TIGHT AS FUCK.

POKEMON IS TURNING INTO DBZ AND I FUCKING LOVE IT

I like how exeggutor became a literal fucking tree.

Excuse me I need to go laugh, because he could not look anymore ridiculous.

AND APPARENTLY HE'S ALSO A DRAGON TOO, I'M LOSING IT.

HE'S A FUCKING DRAGON LIKE HOLY SHIT.

IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME A YEAR AGO THAT EXEGGUTOR WOULD BECOME A DRAGON I WOULD HAVE LAUGHED IN YOUR FUCKING FACE

so, grass is weak to ice. and dragon is weak to ice. and being both makes the weakness all the more deadly. that means alola vulpix would curbstomp alola exxegutor.

also I want to meet the guy at Nintendo who said "hey, lets give a fire type pokemon ice type moves"

lol naruto reference on the fire and water z moves.
that totem pokemon thing could be pretty dangerous. gumshoos with retaliate, strong jaw ability, and it's increased defense soon as it comes in will fuck you over if you dont have a strong fighting type move or special attacker lmao. PLUS you'd get fucked over still if gumshoos has a stakeout yungoos, u switch out, and yungoos does an attack since stakeout doubles damage on any mon that switches in.

yeah the totem pokemon seem like they're actually gonna pose a real challenge but then again the z moves look strong as fuck.

Inferno Overdrive looks like it's straight out of dbz and I love it

I doubt the totems will be that hard, maybe at first if you don't have the right moves/type.

in the end its not much different than in previous games when you fought 6 wilds at the same time with one. just use a move that hits all foes "for example surf" and bam. 1 guy left

and Nintendo is usually fair so that totem will probably be a lower level than the one who summoned it.

Well it seems the totem pokemon start with extra stat increases which is pretty terrifying. Imagine there being a totem alakazam with it's special attack boosted. That might be overkill but it has the potential to be that threatening lol

stat increases eh, I suppose in a pvp match it could be quite hard for the person not using it.

but player vs cpu, I think as long as you have a balanced team that's a decent level and remember what pokemon is what type it'll be more or less the same as always

Yeah thats pretty much true. you gotta watch out for Stakeout tho. That ability lets them hit pokemon that are switching in 50% harder.

The Ultra Beasts seem really interesting

The Absorption one is fucking jacked holy shit
