>Is everybody ready for more AZ and alchemy?

Of course.

>Magearna’s real body is the spherical construction in its chest called the Soul-Heart, created by a scientist who gathered the life energy from Pokémon.
>Magearna’s Ability is the Soul-Heart Ability, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. Soul-Heart has the effect of raising Magearna’s Sp. Atk by 1 each time another Pokémon in the area faints. This is a new Ability—one that can be put to good use in battle.

According to someone in another thread Tapu Koko actually means "Holy Blood", I wonder what that could possibly means?

Just use tail glow on Manaphy.

>>26738799
ooooo that might be why treehouse jumped to after we get our starter to show in the livestream.

Maybe after moving to the island you go down to the beach and catch a glimpse of it before it goes into the ocean or something. Then you get your starter.

>>26738799
Probably something like this;

>Player doing their thing on island 1
>Meet gym leader 1, win
>See something that leads you into the forest
>Suddenly see Topu Koko
>Receive its guidance
>Everyone surprised, praises you
>Suggests you go visit the other three shrines to see if they can offer you guidance as well
>By the time you meet the fourth guardian, you've toppled the enemy team and are preparing for the league
>Upon beating the champion, the four guardians commend you on winning, or something spiritual like "you were true to your heart" or some shit

>>26738839
Soul Heart is safer and gives you the option to use Autotomize at the same time as the other one uses Memento

>>26738371
TAP KOK

>>26738247
So every Pokemon game?

>>26738866
Nah dumbo, the village chief says you met with Top Kek before the fight with the rival dude. It's probably right at the beginning of the game, when you move in, either right before or right after you get your starter

>>26738152
Meaning we would have more sort of, smaller scale, Legendaries? Or just rare Pokemon with high BST?

Not only that, but Yungoos is practically Trump's shouldermon.

PRAISE KEK

>>26738152
This is the first instance where Pokemon names used spaces right? If we take Tapu Koko as a Mon.

>>26738866
What if meeting with the guardians replaces gyms?
There are no noticeable gyms on the map

>>26738610
No, where would you get that from?

The 4 guardians are solgaleo, lunaala, Xerneas and Yveltal

>>26738974
Tapu Koko is probably just a local name for it. It's probably gonna be Xygarde Complete

>>26738798
It's based on Guido Jesus

> 4 guardian pokemon
> Each one guards one of Zygarde's cores
> The middle white core has been Zygarde's core all along and the red and blue one had nothing to do with Xerneas and Yveltal
> Or maybe Xerneas and Yveltal are the other 2 guardians and they were not originally from Kalos.
>big baddie comes along and you have to work with the guardians to form 100% Zygarde in order to stand a chance
>yfw

>>26739008
NOOOOOOOOO. I don't hate that guy, just have your own lore. Not as being one of the Island Guardians of Aloha. Besides, his home is actually in Kalos but let's see how it goes.

holy shit could you BE any more WRONG jesus fucking christ

>>26739091
Alright, what a sour ass.

So basically the four guardians are the Regis and Box Legendary.

>>26739121
Nope.

>>26739116
>game is literally for five year olds in terms of difficulty

>>26738983
>No visible gyms
Ever since we get to know Kalos, in some regions, they don't practice uniformity in the gym designs like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh so Aloha would probably be another addition. They're just hidden in our plain sight, anon.

>>26739220
Tapu Koko roughly translates to sacred blood. That could easily mean Yveltal but it could also be something completely different. What if the reason Zygarde was stuck in 50% mode in XY was because only Xerneas and Yveltal were nearby?

Changes the formula, gives "gyms" some much needed plot relevancy, might be cool

But anon, Guardian Pokemon are literally Iwanko's final evolution and the starter's final evolution!
You are such a baka OP.

>>26738152
Every Pokémon game has a lot of lore though. Some more than others I guess. And some more interesting than others.

We can have a comfy lore thread without spitting on the past games, you know.

Opinions. It was, undeniably, the largest push in the franchise to have a more focused and important story. Whether you liked it or not is not important to the discussion.

Can't be, we know for a fact from the trailer that Lunaala and Solgaleo are interchanged and found on the same island.

So;

Xerneus, Yveltal, Lunaala/Solgaleo, Zygarde

There's even a giant tree on the second island of the map, fitting in with Xerneus's lore.

>yfw they really are just putting any planned Z story elements into S/M

I bet the Regional trio is the Johto Beasts, too.

>>26740980
Nevermind, I am retarded, the giant tree is on the same island that Solgaleo/Lunaala is found

>>26740980

They could be breaking tradition and going with a regional quad.

Well other than the hamfisted Delta Episode, ORAS did have the best handled story and characterization yet, even if it was based off an old framework.

The items they give you could be the diamonds on the bracelet. Hence why it looks like there's more than one slot on each bracelet

>>26738152
Like so many invasive species that now run amuck on islands around the world, mongooses were intentionally introduced to Hawaii. Sugar cane farmers took their cue from Jamaican plantation owners who imported mongooses to control rat populations.

http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/hisc/info/invasive-species-profiles/mongoose/


Yungoose is based on Mongoose being brought to Hawaii to control rat overpopulation.

Far left, earth, middle left water, middle right fire, far right air. Go for a Tiki feel and make them all grass secondary types for their mask/faces.
