>Hail has existed since Gen III

How does it feel icefags? How does it feel to be cucked by terrains of all things?. When SM arrive, even Electric Terrain will be more relevant than Hail. People will use a glorious Tapu Koko + Alolan Raichu combo in doubles while your shitty type and weather both sink further into obscurity.

Did you even read Alolan Sandslash's page info before you made this thread? It's getting a HA that's the Hail equivalent to Sand Rush.

Can anyone locate this image for me? Friend showed it today on phone but I can't find it now. Was on glossy paper sorta creased. Looked a bit silly, so probably fake, but it's bugging me that I can't find it again.
Is there a way to image search with keywords?
>>27693770
no, you need an image. you might be out of luck.
A bit better view here. I don't really remember the ears too well.
Welcome to Team Skull, how tough are ya?
I swept the entire Hoenn league with only my Mega Beedrill
>>27693412
I still believe Ballio is real
>>27693499
Without any milk!
Where are all the intimidating Pokemon of gen 7? I know Alola is supposed to be comfy, but seriously where are they?
Take it as a sign that there's a lot of Pokémon left to be revealed.
>>27693288
>the sand castle isn't intimidating

We're mostly seeing first stage pokémon.
I'm a bit torn right now. I love Megas and all (Let's not turn this into a Mega hate/shill thread, OK?), but I'd rather if they just took a break for S/M and focused on the other features. Maybe the next game could have more Megas?
>yfw Pokemon starts introducing region specific forms that are unattainable in the next gens
>>27693331
Well, there is no reason Alolan Forms would appear in any other region, right?
Don't worry, those double forms people think the starters are getting is just their Megas.
Also I'm still pissed the damn gen 6 starters didn't get a mega. All 3 would have looked great with them.
So what do you think the story is for Alola Raichu? Why did he change?
>>27693249
It saw too much tanned blonde surfer guy with blue eyes. Wanted to be like them, learn how to predict waves with Psychic powers.
>>27693249
>electric/psychic
>looks like a fairy type
electric/psychic seems unique
imho, maybe cause of the anime?
I wanna know why a surfing raichu is electric/psychic instead of electric/water
>All these new electric types
Can any other type even compete?
>
>>27693243
Well, electric is the type of Melemele island, it should have a lot of electric types this gen.
Grubbin ain't Electric-type tho..
Does anyone feel like the Sun/Moon devs watched through a bunch of the old Anime, specifically the Orange Island stuff to get inspiration for the game?
We have stuff like:
- Multiple islands
- Something similar to gyms, but are more challenges and are not always battles.
- Unique Pokemon to the region (Crystal Onix, Pink Rhydon)
- Surfing Pika/Raichu
Not that I'm complaining, it's just something that I noticed.
>>27693219
I would've liked a proper Orange Islands game
I thought that to.
>>27693219
I would love a Coliseum style spin off game released on the NX set in the Orange Islands
Are Sun and Moon the leakiest games in the history of the franchise?
>pokemon rainbow codename leak
>logo trademarks
>starter/legendary trademarks
>starter image leak
>russian facebook leak
>chinese leak
>that one anon who knew beware and mimikyu's english names and the differing island birds
>le riddle image man leaker
>trailer leak anon
like jesus fuck.
>>27693183
Yes.
Also note that this is the second time the trailer was leaked this season, not the first.
Yeah.
The other games only leaked right before release.
I have no doubt in my mind that corocoro actually leaks their shit on purpose.
"Hmm... Do you have something to hide?"
What did he mean by this?
what? Im playing platinum right now and i dont remember the context.
>>27693933
He sometimes appears outside of your Villa in Platinum.
"Hm! I happened to be in the area on a small errand. I'd like to take a rest if you'd allow it."
Yes: "Hm! I appreciate your hospitality."
No: "Hmm... Do you have something to hide?"
You're secretly a trapregardless of which gender you pic
What are all of the Pokemon that there seems to be only 1/a few of that are not legendary? In other words, what are all of the unique/rare non legendary Pokemon?
I can think of
Spiritomb
Rotom
Togetic/kiss
Porygon
Lucario
Zororark
Fossil pokes
Ninetails is said to be legendary
Metagross?
Golurk?
Any other Pokemon like that?
>>27693093
Oh clefairy/clefable
Chansey
And maybe lapras too?
>>27693093
I don't understand this question.
>>27693139
Mr. Mime
Hitmons
Ditto?
Are there anymore?

>mfw I saw Wishiwashi's in-game model
That looks insane. A thousand times better than what the official art is. Anyone else in love with these new Mons after seeing them in battle?
>>27692982
>Victrebeel used Gastro Acid
You can tell that they're really taking advantage of the 3D models this gen. Nearly everything looks much better in-game than it does in official art.
>>27693014
>Anon used shitpost.
Could Minior be a possible split pre-evolution of Solrock and Lunatone?
yea probably not
I sure fucking hope not. Minior is too cool for those faggy rocks.
>>27692909
Nah but we might see an Alola form for each
Yeah right not with all the gen 1 pandering
Seems people find Bounsweet as one of the blander new mon, but I love it. I love all cute, gay looking grass types like Bellossom, Maractus, Meganium, etc.
It's cute and looks delightful.
>>27692859
Mangosteens taste good but the membrane is annoying and slimy.
Get you pamper fetish the FUCK away from my pokemon, you sick freak.
>>27692994
oops forgot pic
Also wonder why they chose to cut off the bottom for the whole time.
Is it safe to assume that Team Skull specializes in ghost types because of the sheer amount of ghost Pokemon introduced in this gen?
>>27692745
>team leader has gengar ace
I need this to happen
nah, it's poison m8.
just like in pmd
It'll be Dark and Poison like always. I hope you like fighting Salandits and Alolan Meowths/Persians for most of the game.
