if the alolan rattata is a nocturnal-only species adapted to counter yungoos, doesnt it means that regular rattatas are still around alola? i think thats important because it disproves the "if we saw the regular mon in a trailer, then it cant have a alolan form"
>>28201392
The Rattata all moved to cities and became nocturnal to avoid Yungoos.
There are no regular Rattata left in Alola, because Yungoos killed them all.
>>28201392
If the alolan rattata are nocturnal only. then does that mean day-night encounters are back?
>>28201392
Do you not pay attention? Alola Forms are regional variants. These regional variants are the forms that exist in that region. The original Pokemon became those.
ITT: Leaked Alola forms
No fakes pls
Alolan Torchic
fire/grass
Alolan Machop
Fighting/Water
Alolan Gyarados
Ground/Water
Am I the only one who laughed at this scene?
WASTED
>>28201359
Yes, the attack should also affect the background. Lazy Freak does it again.
>>28201359
Now just give that move to wailord
>all these kids born in 1998 or later who started with gen 3 or 4 asshurt about Nintendo showing love for Gen 1 Pokemon
I fucking love it.
as someone who started with RBY, I really don't mind them giving all this love to gen 1, however I also don't feel like it makes sense that other gen Pokemon wouldn't get forms too, and I would like them too. So it's not so much that gen 1 is getting love, it's that other gens aren't.
>GameFreak is pandering to a group of people who have largely moved on from pokemon and won't come back no matter what because they're too blinded by nostalgia to accept that the series has changed in any way since 1998
>People don't see how this is a massive waste of time for everyone involved
>>28201263
I've been playing since the very beginning and I think Game Freak are overdoing it.
It's like every other gen doesn't matter, and it sucks if you youve been supporting the franchise for the past 20 years.
How do I start up the pokewalker? I've replaced the battery with a CR2032 batter, but it won't turn on? Do I have to hold a button or something? Please help, because the manual isn't.
self-bump because I REALLY need help.
>>28201246
You may need to charge your battery
>>28201246
throw it on the floor with 55% of your normal power
>Let's ruin the design by adding stupid ass things sticking off the front of his mouth
>>28201191
You mean whiskers? Like the ones he already had?
It was THIS close to looking like a great variant.
>"oh look, another Kanto dicksucking"- the Pokémon
>machop used bullet punch
>guns in pokemon
Don't cut yourself on that edge, little timmy.
>>28201248
>implying honedge's alolan form won't be a gun
>>28201158
>machamp
>bullet punch
No machamp. Everyone uses heavy slamer.
Remember how everyone thought Johto starters will get megas in Sun and Moon
Well with the recent reveals and Alola forms im starting to believe we can forget about it. We do know that Charizard (poke ride) and Blastoise (fire truck) are in Alola so it pretty obvious we'll get Kanto starters AGAIN and they'll most likely will get Z-moves for them (Charizard probably few because why not right?)
RIP Johto starters megas
Do they really need megas? Typhlosion and Feraligtr are already beasts in the competitive scene and meganium is a nice special tank. I think they are just fine in their pure forms.
>>28201118
>implying they won't get Alolan forms or some other special treatment instead
All three fit the climate and look of Alola perfectly, they'll get something.
>>28201415
>Typhlosion and Feraligatr are already beasts
literally wat
They're both average, at best. At the end of the day, Feraligatr is just a poor man's Gyarados and Typhlosion's Eruption spam is shut down by priority.
Also,
>meganium being nice at anything
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Rate them
All suck because they aren't GEN 1 or ruined GEN 1.
Some of them are well executed as where as some others could be seen as trying too hard. Nothing new there. Same goes for Alolan forms. But personally I think Alolan forms are very boring concepts (meh, genwun, etc).
I am happy with what we have seen so far.
>There are people on this very board that still believe the leaks are false
Take a look at this compilation, and you'll find several correct predictions, with one mistake, and one thing that's arguable
How can anyone even believe that this is all just a coincidence?
If Rockruff has more than 1 evolution then All the starters did
So we have hope on those shitty designs
>>28201076
They will just be variations of the same form if they do have more than one evolution. Popplio will still evolve into a siren, Litten will still evolve into a wrestler, Rowlet will still evolve into an archer.
I believe the first and last but I am almost sure that 2nd one is either fake or made by someone that knew a bit but got off on lying.
>Gen VIII is going to just be Gen 1 but everything is Alola form only.
They're already shown a bunch of new Pokemon.
>>28200942
That is... Not a bad idea
>>28200988
They showed plenty of gen 1 regular forms
Why does nobody understand that Game Freak realises that Gen 1 contains some of the most uninspired Pokemon designs going, so they need to revamp a few to make it interesting again? It isn't pandering, it's fixing.
>>28200918
By recoloring them? Impressive stuff right there.
>>28200943
You're right. Here's a leaked picture of Alolan Charizard to keep your hopes up, It's Dark/Dragon
>>28200975
It actually has two Alolan forms, and four Z-Attacks.
Why is nobody talking about Alola Rattata? What does /vp/ think of it's design/typing/abilities?
>>28200902
In your rush to post quality original content, you seem to have missed the million other threads on this topic already.
>>28200902
>Why is nobody talking about Alola Rattata?
Are you legit blind?
>>28200902
>dark/normal
2 immunities is nice, but dark already resists ghost and x4 fighting weakness is almost always a death sentence.
How do you feel about the fact the best offensive type combination (fairy/ground) and the best defensive one (normal/ghost) haven't been executed yet?
>>28200701
I want the ground/fairy and I want it now.

>CoroCoro said rockruff evolution shared a secret with the starters
Uh-oh
g-guys?
>>28200700
I'm pretty sure it'll just have to do something with the day/night cycle or what game you have (Sun or Moon).
>>28200700
We'll know for sure in like a week or so because of CoroCoro
>>28200700
Next coro coro also said it was gonna include a special poster about the secret.
I don't know how they're gonna fill an entire poster with just a rockruff so it's probably several.
