That's unsanitary.

Official sites refers to her as a she and big sister.
I think I figured something out, but it could just be from lack of sleep. Anyway, given that Alola is the first region to really have different typings on a single species, as well as type different variations, and strong elemental ties to a type in different regions, I think it might be where evolutionary stones are either imported from, or found in the highest quantity. The mountains that our ice shifted vulpix and sandshrew could radiate the same kind of energy that allows eevee to become glaceon, for example. The islands could act as...I want to say fire, thunder, dusk, and either sun or moon stones in certain locations, or to certain pokemon, with water stones being beneath the sea. The guardians may be cause or effect of this too, either charging their islands with their energy so much that it causes the land to take it on and changes what lives on it, or being born because the islands had such abnormal amounts of this energy in the first place. Hell, the Oricorio pokedex entries say they are different because they fed on the sap of trees on the different islands, which supports the game lore idea that the region has some form of super charged effect relating to typing.
Anyway, thoughts for or against? Does it have merit, or am I so dumb that I should have spent my time while doing manual labor at work distracting myself in other ways?

Yes

More likely that the developers are taking pages straight from the book of Charles Darwin. Island chains are notable for providing isolated environments where animals can evolve in rapidly diverse ways and Darwin specifically observed the difference in tropical birds depending on thier environment. This is probably why we're getting Gen 1 'mons with new forms too.
Discuss them here, post fanmade ones here like pic relatedi made it, it's how I'd want fighting-type Alakazam to lookalso "leaks" are welcome
>>27498592
I'd prefer it gets beefy as hell but that's just me
Not bad, idk about the nunchucks tho I doubt they'd give Pokemon actual weapons. ( honedge doesn't count, right?)
>>27498617
He has spoons so I thought they'd either replace his spoons or just take them off completely
Here's a better pic

Th-thanks, Game Freak
>>27498560
Who cares about weaknesses when you have a god-tier typing though?
Tyranitar has fucking 7 weaknesses (way more than its base form has) and a x4 weakness to Fighting.
Alola Ninetales is probably going to be a physically attacking tank by the way
>>27498560
There's like, few Pokemon that actually attack using steel, right?
>>27498580
4x weak to a priority move is always a problem
Alright, so lemme get this straight:
- All Vulpixes found in Alola are the ice type Vulpix, with its own stats and moves
- Vulpixes imported from Pokebank (non-VC RBY) are the gen 6 Vulpix, with its own stats and moves
- Vulpixes imported specifically from VC RBY are another variation, the gen 1 Vulpix, with its own stats and moves?
Is that accurate? Do you think there will be any visual distinction between gen 6 and gen 1 Vulpix? How would its base stats be different?
>>27498544
We don't really know whether the Pokemon ported from the VC games will keep their Gen. 1 stats, though.
It's a possibility, and could potentially make competitive battling crazy dynamic, but we haven't heard anything. For all we know, any and all Vulpix brought over from PokeBank will just be the Gen. 6 ones.
I really doubt stat will carry over, especially because of singular Special stat. I just don't know how they'd do it without creating completely broken mons. I'm think its just going to reroll their stats coming from Gen 1.
>>27498544
>- All Vulpixes found in Alola are the ice type Vulpix, with its own stats and moves
Incorrect, only Vulpix's you find in a certin region in Alola are Ice
>- Vulpixes imported from Pokebank (non-VC RBY) are the gen 6 Vulpix, with its own stats and moves
>- Vulpixes imported specifically from VC RBY are another variation, the gen 1 Vulpix, with its own stats and moves?

Last pokemon game I played was HeartGold/SoulSilver. I'm going to buy a 3DS and I want a new pokemon game to go along with it. Which one should I buy? I'd like one with pokemon I recognise (gen 1, 2, and 3) but also new pokemon, that makes it possible to do online battles. Also a long story/single player would be nice :) Which one do you recommend?
>>27498524
Fuck off.
>>27498524
XY meets all of that criteria. But the story isn't very good.
>>27498524

You are now aware that the reason they are doing these pallete swa- I mean, alolan forms is so they can recycle all the 3d models animations from the old pokemon and pass it off as new content.
It's pretty clear how much the transition to 3D models is harming the franchise. You saw how little new pokemon gen 6 had... it wont end there...
http://www.strawpoll.me/10895494
>>27498269
Except the alolan Ninetales clearly has different animation to the regular one
Your argument is invalid
You are now aware that I dont give a fuck and that game develoment is more complex than you think shitposter kun
>recycle
But they are new animations
Pokemon plus
It's the new pentagon
>>27498219
I think thats just a regular plus sign for when you can up pokemons IVs

Ruby/Sapphire May is better that ORAS May.
From the starters and the possible evos to the birb dancer and new forms, everything about alola seems excellent so far, and not one pokemon has seemed dissapointing. Its obvious they're showcasing their best designs so far, but I haven't liked so many pokemon like this so quickly before.
The possibility of ending once and for all with HMs and IVs is even better, and the idea we might have the game concept of making our very own league, or at the very least switching up the formula after 20 years sounds enticing as hell too.
Who else is hyped as fuck for the absolute masterpiece that will be gen VII?
