Oh my God, the hype is real...




THE HYPE IS FREAKING REAL. 8DDDDDDD

So yeah! Only a day it's been released, but the first gameplay trailer for Pokemon Sun and Moon have been coming out, and we see not only glimpses of the region but also of the starters and the legendary mascots.  8DDDDDD

From observation, here's what I gather:

1. The new region appears to be based on Hawaii (Alola region). Don't know if it's going to include more places, though - we'll just have to wait and see. >w> 

2. The 2 legendaries definitely look interesting, though I can't be the only one who thinks the bat looks like a pimped out jewelled Noivern and the lion looks like a fusion between Entei and Pyroar.

3. The models, man! The freaking models! Huge improvement. OWO and character customizations are back, baby! >W<

4. Dem starters, though...

The Internet Reacts To Pokémon Sun and Moon's Starters

How the hell do you expect me to pick?! They all look so cuddly, and lovable, and adorable, and...*goes on and on*

Some assumptions I have on starters:

1. Rowlet - Speed based Pokemon, maybe? Special Attack or not? Hmm...Grass is usually Special, but Flying is usually not Special. Will definitely stay at Grass/Flying. For final evolution, perhaps something like a Great Horned Owl? Or something like Wan Shi Tong from Avatar the Last Airbender?
Litten - Fire/Dark for final evolution. I predict that. XD for final evolution? Hmm...people say tiger, and I can see that, but I also think a panther could work well. >w>
Popplio - If I own one, I'll name him "Pierrot." XD Water is more Special, so I'll guess more of a Special attacker. Defense? Hmm...again, hard to say. Though I have no clue what this little guy will be in final evolution - sleek like Dewgong or huge like Walrein? Gonna guess Water/Ice for final typing.

You guys hyped for Pokemon Sun and Moon? OWO I sure am. XD

Also, release dates are apparently this:
- Japan: November 18, 2016
- North America: November 18, 2016
- Australia: November 18, 2016
- Europe: November 23, 2016
South Korea: November 18, 2016
- China: N/A
- Hong Kong: November 18, 2016
- Taiwan: November 18, 2016

Will probably update more when stuff comes out. >w>

Question of the Day: Choose your starter! >8D

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE [2/6/2016]

The new trailer has come out...



1. Kukui is indeed the Professor to the Alola region.
2. His assistant is not the elder, but rather a girl with a sun hat.
3. Confirmed to anyone who hasn't seen the Japanese trailer, but Character Customizations are back, baby!

And now we even have info on our two legendary mascots!

solgaleo pokemon sun moon

lunala pokemon sun moon

But that's not all! There's a slight...twist on your Pokedex. owo

rotom pokedex pokemon sun moon

Yep! Apparently a Rotom now possesses your Pokedex and actually talks to you.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that Solgaleo isn't a Fire-type and find it kinda funny that its weakness is said type. Lunala is a really pretty name and didn't at all think of it, but hey! Good job there! Though, despite the typing, I expect it to be able to learn Fairy-type moves.

For a Rotom being my Pokedex? Eh...I hope it's not going to become the Scrappy, but I can see it potentially being so. But it'll be interesting to have a companion for once who's not a rival and is actually on my whole being all the time.

I'm not sure when the next update will be, but stay tuned~ 

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE [11/6/2016]

Was alerted by a good friend, but this just in, ladies and gentlemen! Two new Pokemon are revealed! 8D

nekkoala

Leaked from CoroCoro's Japanese magazine, we have Nekkoala (left) and Iwanko (right).

pokemon-corocoro-2
(Another shot of Iwanko because there's only one of Nekkoala from what I've seen so far.)

From what's been found, Nekkoala is apparently based on dreams, and is called the "Contagious Dream" Pokemon. It's a Normal-type. Its ability is Definite Sleep - which prevents the Pokemon from getting any other status effect except for Sleep.

Iwanko meanwhile is a Rock-type, surprisingly, and it was that strange Pokemon in one of the trailers where we saw only its back.

So far, really want to pick up an Iwanko and cuddle the everlasting crap out of it. >w<

Wonder what else will come out? Stay tuned~ ;3

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE [12/6/2016]

More news just came in, but this time about a Pokemon we already know about. This guy.



Yep! Forgot about Zygarde? The third legendary from X and Y who stands for the Z-axis? Well, there's actually more complications to the dude.


On low health, Doberman!Zygarde becomes a fucking Gundam. 

And the Pokemon Company finally tells us that Zygarde actually has five forms. Here they all are:




Still personally confused on why the hell a Doberman looking form is included, but considering how Pokemon works. Eh? :shrug:

That saying so, I'm interested to see that final Gundam form. And a question strikes me: if this form is achieved when Zygarde is at low health, does it retain this form after it gets healed, or does it revert back? It doesn't show that in the new trailer featuring Zygarde, but it's a question of interest.

What do you think about Zygarde and its concept? Yay or nay?

Stay tuned for more updates~ 

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [16/6/16]

Okay, so I finished my final exam, and I was treated to this awesome trailer.



MORE NEW POKEMON. 8D here's more information on them:


pikipek
Pikipek

Category 
Woodpecker Pokémon

Type 
Normal/Flying

Height 
1’00"

Weight 
2.6 lbs.

Ability 
Keen Eye / Skill Link

Pikipek can strike 16 times a second with its beak. These strikes are powerful enough to not only drill through hard wood but even shatter stone. The noises made by their blows can signal others. Some of these signals have been identified as warning signals and greetings among allies. Pikipek Trainers have grown to recognize them as well.

These Pokémon drill holes in trees and store food in the holes. They also like small, glittering objects and will tuck them away in their food stores, too. It’s often said, "Something lost, something missed, check inside the Pikipek nest."

Pikipek will attack distant opponents by zipping seeds at them. These shots have enough strength to embed the seeds in tree trunks.


yungoos
Yungoos

Category 
Loitering Pokémon

Type 
Normal

Height 
1’04"

Weight 
13.2 lbs.

Ability 
Stakeout / Strong Jaw

Yungoos is a big eater that is never satisfied. The majority of its long body is given over to its stomach, and its digestion is swift, so it’s always hungry. It has strong fangs, so it can crush and consume the hardest of objects.

Each Yungoos chooses its own particular route for searching out prey. It stalks along this route searching for food until it’s exhausted, at which point it drops and sleeps wherever it may be. It’s thought that these Pokémon decide their routes based on safety, so that there’s no risk in falling asleep at any time.

Yungoos is not a Pokémon that is native to the Alola region. It was brought to the region to help deal with the explosive population of a certain other Pokémon, and now Yungoos are commonly seen around the Alola region. 
Some Yungoos have an Ability that no other Pokémon discovered has previously had. This Ability is known as Stakeout. With the Stakeout Ability, this Pokémon’s moves can deal twice the normal damage to any Pokémon that switch in or enter the field mid-battle.

Since this Pokémon is so common in the Alola region, it’s easy to catch one. But this Pokémon has a terrible temper when it’s hungry—and it demands a whopping amount of food.


grubbin
Grubbin

Category 
Larva Pokémon

Type 
Bug

Height 
1’04"

Weight 
9.7 lbs.

Ability 
Swarm 

Grubbin relies on its sturdy jaw as a weapon in battle and as a tool for burrowing through the earth. Grubbin loves electricity, which is why it can be found near power plants and substations. By wrapping tree branches in the sticky threads that it spews from its mouth, Grubbin can swing around like an actor on suspension wires!


(All above dex information is obtained here: www.siliconera.com/2016/06/14/…)

Now, there are also other things: such as revealing that there are some forms for Solgaleo and Lunala.

solgaleo_lunala_phasechange_en

However, I'm pretty sure another thing that excites people besides the new Pokemon being showcased is this. There's a new battle format.

2016-06-14_122112
2016-06-14_122032

The Pokemon Battle Royal has started! 

Basically, what happens is that four trainers are put up against one another. That's right - it's a freaking free-for-all. Rankings are determined on who's got the most Pokemon remaining and who's left standing.

Hell, I'm not even a competitive battler, but this is pretty damn exciting. Imagine the kind of strategies and trolling you could do with your friends if you battle one another at this thing! I can just imagine my friends and I being utter douches to each other and either ganging up on one person, or saving someone's ass then pretty much just beating the shit out of each other. XD

So what do you guys think of the new Pokemon? What about the new Battle Royal mode style format?

Stay tuned for more updates~

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [2/7/16]



As the above video shows - more new Pokemon! 8D

7 new Pokemon! 8DDDD


English Name: Charjabug
Type: Bug/Electric-type
Classification: Battery Pokémon
Height: 1'08"
Weight: 23.1 lbs.
AbilityBattery
Known Moves
Spark

Details:
This Pokémon was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016. It is the evolution of Grubbin

Charjabug stays perfectly still in preparation for Evolution, and often spends time with its body half-buried in the earth. Charjabug is able to store up electricity. It can store enough power to run a household for a whole day. The power it stores can be provided to other Pokémon, so it can also serve as a battery!



English Name: Vikavolt
Type: Bug/Electric-type
Classification: Stag Beetle Pokémon
Height: 4'11"
Weight: 99.2lbs
AbilityLevitate
Known Moves
Zap Cannon

Details:
This Pokémon was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016. It is the evolution of Charjabug

Vikavolt is like a fortress that zooms through the forest, firing a beam of electricity from its mouth. Its huge jaws control the electricity it blasts out. Vikavolt is adept at acrobatic flight maneuvers like tailspins and sharp turns. It can fly at high speeds even as it weaves its way through the complicated tangle of branches in the forest. Vikavolt clasps Charjabug with its legs and uses it as an extra battery. Even if a battle drags on, it can use the electric power from Charjabug to continue firing off powerful moves. When Vikavolt is engaged in a fierce aerial fight, it releases Charjabug to make itself lighter and increase its mobility.


English Name: Drampa
Type: Normal/Dragon-type
Classification: Placid Pokémon
Height: 9'10"
Weight: 407.9 lbs
AbilityBerserk / Sap Sipper
Known Moves
Dragon Breath

Details:
This Pokémon was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016.

Drampa are dragons that live alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. Since they can’t obtain the Berries they feed on at that range, they descend to the base of the mountains at dawn every day. Drampa love communicating with people and Pokémon. Drampa are especially gentle with children and often appear at schools and parks where children gather. While Drampa is usually a very gentle Pokémon, it can fly into a rage if a child it cares for is hurt in some way. The Dragon Breath move that it fires off at such times is powerful enough to blow down buildings!


English Name: Bruxish
Type: Water/Psychic-type
Classification: Gnash Teeth Pokémon
Height: 2'11"
Weight: 41.9lbs
AbilityDazzling / Strong Jaw
Known Moves
Psywave

Details:
This Pokémon was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016.

Bruxish emits a strong psychic power from the protuberance on its head. When its opponents are bathed in this power, they’re stricken with terrible headaches and fall unconscious. As it emits its psychic power, it grinds its teeth loudly. When nearby Pokémon hear the sound of Bruxish’s teeth gnashing, they sense danger and flee immediately. In the Alola region, lifeguards let Bruxish remain in their area to prevent dangerous Water-type Pokémon from gathering there. Bruxish digs holes in the seafloor, leaving just the protuberance on its head exposed, while emitting a low level of psychic power. This serves as radar, so when it detects prey, it can leap to the attack!


English Name: Cutiefly
Type: Bug/Fairy-type
Classification: Bee Fly Pokémon
Height: 0'04"
Weight: 0.4lbs
AbilityHoney Gather / Shield Dust
Known Moves
Fairy Wind

Details:
This Pokémon was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016.

Cutiefly can detect the auras of living things, including people, Pokémon, and plants. They search out flowers by the color and brightness of their auras and then gather their nectar and pollen. When living creatures are excited, it seems that their auras resemble those of flowers in full bloom. As a result, these Pokémon tend to gather near people or Pokémon feeling particularly happy or sad. Cutiefly mostly live in the fields and meadows on the outskirts of cities, but they sometimes appear in towns and even inside buildings, drawn in by the emotions of the living beings of the community.


English Name: Togedemaru 
Jp. NameTogedemaru (トゲデマル)
Type: Electric/Steel-type
Classification: Roly-poly Pokémon
Height: 1'00"
Weight: 7.3lbs
AbilityIron Barbs / Lightning Rod
Known Moves
Discharge

Details:
This Pokémon was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016.

Togedemaru is the Roly-Poly Pokémon that gathers electricity and stores it. The long needle that grows from the back of its head works as a lightning rod to attract electricity. With this reservoir of electrical energy, Togedemaru is able to release powerful Electric-type attacks! Covering its body is a pattern of fur with strands like needles. That means that Togedamaru can roll itself up, and presto—it's a ball of prickles! Some skilled Trainers have developed the strategy of getting other Pokémon to unleash Electric-type attacks on Togedemaru, which absorbs their power to use in a response attack! On days when lightning strikes, you can sometimes see Togedemaru gather and bristle up their needles, waiting to be struck by lightning.



English Name: Tapu Koko
Type: Electric/Fairy-type
Classification: Land Spirit Pokémon
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 45.2lbs
AbilityElectric Surge

Details:
This Pokémon was hinted at during the E3 Treehouse Live and is the guardian of Meremere Island. It is seen under the control of Hala. It was leaked and then revealed officially on June 30th 2016

Tapu Koko is a special Pokémon that protects the area where it lives. It’s called the guardian deity of Melemele Island, one of the islands of the Alola region. Although it’s known as a guardian deity, it’s a surprisingly fickle Pokémon, and will not necessarily come to your aid if you need help. Despite that, this Pokémon has a strong sense of curiosity. If it becomes interested in a person or in other Pokémon, it may come to play or battle with them. Tapu Koko can store up electricity by enclosing itself in the shells on its arms. And it also appears to enter this form during other, special times...

(Information was gained at serebii.)

So here are all the new Pokemon! In all honesty, I'm not so interested with Bruxish or Togedemaru, but everything else is more interesting. owo particularly Drampa, Tapu Koko, Cutiefly, and we have a full evolution line - the Grubbin line. OwO

Oh, and I just discovered Iwanko's English name is Rockruff.  XD

Stay tuned~

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [8/7/16]



That time again! Another new Pokemon is revealed. >w>

Name: Salandit
Type: Poison/Fire-type
Classification: Toxic Lizard Pokémon
Height: 2'00"
Weight: 10.6 lbs
AbilityCorrosion

Known Moves
Toxic

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed during the Japan Expo 2016 Master Class by Junichi Masuda

Salandit emits toxic gas, together with flames, from the base of its tail. This poisonous gas has a sweet smell, and anyone who unknowingly breathes it in will become dizzy. Salandit is not a very powerful Pokémon, but its cunning nature allows it to battle fiercely by throwing its opponents off balance. Salandit females not only release toxic gases, they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans. Inhaling these pheromones may cause opponents to be controlled by Salandit’s will.

I get the feeling this little guy was specifically designed just to screw up the competitive battling scene. XD 

Stay tuned~

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [13/7/16]



A video featuring more of the gameplay in Sun and Moon - showing you can ride all kinds of Pokemon, there's some kind of thing going on with Synergy, and even a flash of two new Pokemon.

Speaking of which:



Information of the two (in order):

English Name: Bewear
Jp. NameKiteruguma (キテルグマ)

Type: Normal/Fighting-type
Classification: Strong Arm Pokémon
Height: 2.1m
Weight: 135kg
AbilityFluffy / Klutz

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in the August issue of CoroCoro

People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger. They are said to be known as The Fighting Kings of the Forest

English Name
Jp. NameMimikkyu (ミミッキュ)

Type: Ghost/Fairy-type
Classification: False Colors Pokémon
Height: 0.2m
Weight: 0.7kg
AbilityFalse Colors

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in the August issue of CoroCoro

Mimikkyu hates sunlight, preferring dark places. It is rumoured that the cloth covering its body is a strategy to avoid the sun. Don't try to remove the cloth it is said that those that do become afflicted with an illness

Looks like we got another bear that looks pretty cuddly. XD and Mimikkyu...looks like a demented Pikachu on acid - though apparently, that's actually a cloth. owo

Stay tuned~

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [20/7/16]

More new Pokemon!





English Name: Wimpod
Type: Bug/Water-type
Classification: Turn Tail Pokémon
Height: 1'08?
Weight: 26.5lbs
AbilityWimp Out

Known Moves
Struggle Bug

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on July 19th 2016

Wimpod have a cowardly nature and are wary of noises and sudden movements. If you approach them in a group, they’ll immediately run off. When Wimpod feel threatened, they spit out a poisonous liquid. The stench of this toxic fluid signals others that danger is near. Despite their extreme cowardice, their curiosity leads Wimpod to approach people or Pokémon that are standing still. Wimpod eat and store anything that they find fallen on the ground. They also scavenge any garbage that’s been dropped in the sea, so they’re highly valued as cleaners. They sometimes carry pearls or other valuable items, so humans or Pokémon like Murkrow may target them.




English Name: Bounsweet
Type: Grass-type
Classification: Fruit Pokémon
Height: 1'00?
Weight: 7.1 lbs
AbilityFlower Veil / Oblivious

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on July 19th 2016

Because it exudes a delicious smell from its entire body, Bounsweet is popular with Pokémon and people of the Alola region. Bounsweet’s scent has a calming effect on humans, so many people let them live inside their homes as a sort of air freshener. Unfortunately, it’s sometimes swallowed whole by Pokémon drawn to its aroma. When running away from other Pokémon, Bounsweet flees danger by skipping along the ground. Since its bouncy movements don’t convey to others that it’s actually in desperate flight, no one ever comes to its aid.




English Name: Comfey
Type: Fairy-type
Classification: Posy Picker Pokémon
Height: 0'04"
Weight: 0.7lbs
AbilityLeaf Guard / Triage

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on July 19th 2016

Comfey picks flowers and always carries them around. It makes a ring of blossoms and spreads oil from its body on it, which changes the flowers so they emit a soothing fragrance. It has a habit of giving these flower rings to those it’s fond of. The aroma can soothe both itself and its allies. Comfey also helps with the treatment of people and Pokémon at Pokémon Centers and hospitals, thanks to its aroma. When attacked by other Pokémon, it throws its flowers at them to create an opening, and then it either flees or strikes back.




English Name: Mudsdale
Jp. NameBarubadoro (バンバドロ)
Type: Ground-type
Classification: Draft Horse Pokémon
Height: 8'02"
Weight: 2028.3 lbs
AbilityOwn Tempo / Stamina

Known Moves
Highhorse Power

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on July 19th 2016

Mudsdale is known for its powerful body as well as its emotional fortitude, which keeps it from being agitated by anything. It never cries out, no matter what kind of trouble it’s in, and it defeats its opponents with a single powerful blow. Its legs are coated in protective mud, and the weight of this coating increases the force of its kicks. One kick, and a car is a pile of scrap! Mudsdale’s running speed is not too swift, but it has excellent power and stamina. It can carry on for three days and three nights despite dragging loads of over 10 tons! When Mudsdale gallops in earnest, the power of each hoof-clop can dig out huge holes, even in asphalt. Mudsdale is forbidden to run on some of Alola’s public roads.

And that's the new Pokemon! And they look like an interesting bunch, at least to me. owo I wonder if Comfey will have an evolution line like Flabebe, or will it be like Klefki and be a standalone. Mudsdale is definitely a Mighty Glacier type (high defense and strength, low speed). And poor Bounsweet and Wimpod.  ^^;

Stay tuned~

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [2/8/16]



So not only are there more new Pokemon but apparently more interesting stuff. owo

Alola forms, Z-moves (reference to Zygarde, perhaps?), and the fact that this game may not actually have 8 gyms, but rather Trial Captains - 4 specialists per island. Then after clearing the island's trial, you face off the island's Kahuna. Which is what Hala's role actually is - he's the Kahuna of Melemele island. OwO

Here's the new Pokemon:

Gumshoos
Type: Normal-type
Classification: Stakeout Pokémon
Height: 2'04"
Weight: 31.3 lbs
AbilityStakeout / Strong Jaw

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on August 1st 2016

Gumshoos’s method of targeting prey is the exact opposite of Yungoos’s strategy. While Yungoos prowls around, Gumshoos stakes out its prey’s usual routes and waits patiently for it to come by. Gumshoos has a tenacious personality, which is why it targets one prey for so long without wavering. But when the sun goes down, it runs low on stamina, falling asleep right on the spot. Gumshoos can withstand a great deal of hunger. It’s able to stay perfectly still while waiting for its prey, keeping watch without eating a thing.


Mudbray
Type: Ground-type
Classification: Donkey Pokémon
Height: 3'03"
Weight: 242.5 lbs
AbilityOwn Tempo / Stamina

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on August 1st 2016

Mudbray could once be found all over the world, but it was overhunted and ended up on the verge of extinction. It’s said that the Alola region is the only place in the world where Mudbray can still be found in the wild. Mudbray boasts superhuman strength—a surprise, considering its small body. Mudbray can carry loads up to 50 times its own weight on its back or dragging behind it. Mudbray loves playing in the mud. It’s easy to live in harmony with this Pokémon, as long as you provide an environment where it can play in the mud. If it can’t frolic in the mire, however, Mudbray will become stressed and may stop listening to orders.

 

Minior
Type: Rock/Flying-type
Classification: Meteor Pokémon
Height: 3'03"
Weight: 242.5 lbs
AbilityShields Down

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on August 1st 2016

Minior are formed in the stratosphere and live by absorbing the detritus around them. When they’ve consumed a large quantity of particles, their bodies become heavy, and they fall toward the planet’s surface. Minior has a hard and heavy outer shell with a core inside it. The Meteor Pokémon seems to be made in such a way that if its shell breaks, it becomes lighter and can deal out quick attacks. When its shell breaks, the core in its center is revealed. You won’t know what color will appear until this happens!

Minior’s core will change color depending on the particular color of the debris it has absorbed. Its pastel coloration has a cute look, so this Pokémon is often used as a design motif for clothing and accessories.


Formantis

Type: Grass-type
Classification: Sickle Grass Pokémon
Height: 1'00"
Weight: 3.3 lbs
AbilityLeaf Guard

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on August 1st 2016

Fomantis is nocturnal, and it performs photosynthesis while it sleeps during the day by spreading out its leaves in all directions. Because of the danger of staying in the same location two days in a row, Fomantis begins its search for the next day’s spot as soon as the sun sets. For Fomantis, photosynthesis is not just a source of energy—it is a necessity to achieve the strength and brilliant coloration of its evolved form. Photosynthesis is precious to Fomantis, and it will fiercely attack those who get in the way of that process. Fomantis excel at long-range attacks like Razor Leaf and Solar Beam. Solar Beam is indeed a powerful move, but since it uses up the energy that the Pokémon has stored through photosynthesis, Fomantis rarely uses it.


Lunatis

Type: Grass-type
Classification: Sickle Grass Pokémon
Height: 1'00"
Weight: 3.3 lbs
AbilityLeaf Guard

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on August 1st 2016

Lurantis draws opponents near to itself with its flowerlike appearance and aroma—and then it takes them down. It’s said to be the most gorgeous of all Grass-type Pokémon, due to its brilliant coloration and elegant moves. Lurantis’s appearance is maintained through detailed grooming. It will trust a Trainer who does a good job of caring for it, but it will apparently have a difficult time growing closer to a lazy Trainer. Lurantis is the Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle, the site of an Akala Island trial. It will overwhelm trial-goers with the powerful combos it unleashes with the Pokémon allies it calls.

   

Oricorio

Type: Fire/Flying-type, Electric/Flying-type, Ghost/Flying-type/Psychic/Flying-type
Classification: Dancing Pokémon
Height: 2'00"
Weight: 7.5 lbs
AbilityDancer

Details:
This Pokémon was revealed in a trailer on August 1st 2016

Oricorio changes its form by sipping the nectar of certain flowers. Since it has four different forms—the same as the number of islands in Alola—it would seem that different Oricorio live on each of the islands.

The Baile Style Oricorio is very passionate, and power fills its body when it dances. It sends downy fluff flying during its intense dances. By igniting this fluff, it can unleash a fiery dance attack. The Pom-Pom Style Oricorio is very friendly toward people, and it uses dancing to encourage Trainers who are feeling glum. When it dances, its feathers are charged with static electricity. It can attack with these charged feathers, and sometimes it unleashes a powerful electric shock.

The Pa’u Style Oricorio acts at its own pace, which sometimes makes it difficult to deal with. It sharpens its spirited moves through dance, which increases its psychic power. It’s said that this dance expresses its gratitude to the guardian deity Pokémon. The Sensu Style Oricorio is quiet and collected. By means of its dance, it gathers the spirits drifting about in an area and borrows their power to fight. People who migrated from Kanto feel a great liking for this Pokémon because its dance reminds them of their homeland.

I honestly thought the Formantis and Lunatis would be part Bug (well, Lunatis at least), but looks like nope. ^^; and now I want all those Oricorio. I also want to draw Gijinka for each of them. >w< however, I want to draw Gijinka for them once I get the game and play - because I like giving characterizations to my Pokemon. X3

Alola forms sound interesting, though I'm a bit confused on the sudden shift to Ice-typing for Vulpix-Ninetails and Sandshrew-Sandslash. Though I'm happy to see Sandslash isn't forgotten. owo

Also, that Exeggutor...XD

(And at 4:20 in the video - am I the only one who's reminded of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure due to the posing? >w>;; )

Stay tuned~

Oh, but that's not all! We also get a glimpse on the enemy team for this game, too! Introducing a shot of Team Skull:

(cannot see the characters properly in that screenshot with the girl, but I'll assume she's an Alolan Lass or something.)

The boss’ name is Guzuma, and the girl with pink hair is named Burumeri.

There’ll be more information on the new Pokémon along with their English names soon. The magazine also shows that apparently next month’s issue will show a “Secret Evolution” for Rockruff (hence why he looks so big there).

So stay tuned~ 

---------------------------------------

UPDATE [11/8/16]

And now...two new Pokemon, and an Alolan form! :D

Getting interesting, but that's probably not the only information that'll come in.

So, stay tuned~

------------------------

UPDATE [19/8/16]

And yet, another new Pokemon! 8D



English Name: Turtonator 
Jp. NameBakugamesu (バクガメス)

Type: Fire/Dragon-type
Classification: Blast Turtle Pokémon
Height: 6'07"
Weight: 467.4 lbs
AbilityShell Armor

Details:
Because Turtonator lives on volcanoes, feeding on sulfur and other materials found near volcanic craters, its shell has a layer of explosive material—mostly sulfur. When something strikes this Pokémon, sparks fly from the horns on its shell, igniting an explosion! In areas around volcanic craters, this Pokémon camouflages itself as a rock and waits for prey. At the moment when its prey steps onto the back of its shell, Turtonator strikes its shell with its own tail, triggering an explosion! The explosive blasts triggered from Turtonator’s back are released through an orifice located on the middle front of the Pokémon’s body. This is Turtonator’s weak point. Attacks landing on its stomach will cause it a great deal of damage.

So what do you guys think? Yay or nay with the design for this Fire/Dragon? owo

Stay tuned~

------------------------

UPDATE [8/9/16]
So we got a new video, and more stuff! Not just Pokemon, but characters and some gameplay. owo



Already calling it - Gladion and Lillie have some kind of link to Lusamine in the Aether Foundation, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Aether Foundation is actually another bad team we gotta take care of along with Team Skull. >w>

Oh and there was this picture, too.


Looks very familiar, huh? OwO

Next update is on the 14th of September, so stay tuned~

------------------------

UPDATE [8/9/16]

Some leaks from CoroCoro.  Regarding Rockruff's evolutions - which are two different ones (not Stage 1 and Stage 2) with the left being the Midday form while the right is the Midnight form.



And more stuff on the weird alien things.


That's all I'll put for now because "page becomes unresponsive" bullshit has happened several times when I tried to update this journal.  I'll probably write a new entry soon for the next time there's more news.

Stay tuned~

okay, got to watch most of the trailers - I'm digging the fire/dragon turtle already, I am curious if Turtonator will have a pre-evolution. o3o Also with all the new characters, I am hearing the theory about Lillie could be UB-01 or at least being connected to it.

Also that guy looks like professor Oak...Oak, did you come to Alola and forgot your sunscreen?...and grew out your hair while there? XD
