I just came home from work where I had to laugh every 15 minutes

This. Four of five are Ice type. In a tropical region (and yes, I know volcanoes can still have snow in tropical areas).

Also, Alola Exeggutor is majestic.

>>27505485

Ice typing was designed to be the glass canon type, and then GF just gave every water type ice moves and poorly stated every single Ice pokemon to be bulky tanks.

Ice has the potential to work, it just needs pokemon with better stats.

Alola Exeggutor is 10/10

literally the pinnacle of what it means to be a Exeggutor

All of the new designs are fanfuckingtastic, can't wait to see what else they come up with. I have a feeling it's only gonna be the original 151 again though.

i like all of the designs but i would have preferred if they retained some of their original typing

i.e.
>sandrew = ground/ice
>vulpix = fire/fairy (or ice/fire?)

>>27505198
I can't decide whether he reminds me more of a bong or the NOPE meme

How is it "ruining" old Pokemon if the originals still exist?

It's honestly impressive how Gamefreak took an awfully designed forgettable Gen 1 mon and made it perfect by turning it into a fucking palm tree

10/10 so far. I'm glad that they're actually making use of the ice mountain. I also feel that they nailed the tropical theme.

Making good use of the ice mountain while nailing the tropical theme. I also really love the subspecies and the descriptions for them seeing how real Hawaii is endeminism central.

it is and always will be a coconut tree

>ruining old pokmeon
The old pokemon still exist. How is an optional variant "ruining" them?

>>27505198
I am just sad they wasted the opportunity to finally make ninetales a ghost type.

>>27510835
We could have a different Ninetales version for each gen! I'd be all for it

>>27507824
>Making the Gen I Pokemon more interesting and less bland and a product of their technological limited time
I can get behind that.

>>27505198
I'm kind of hoping some variants get an additional evolution.

Sort of like how Alola's Exeggcutor is it's "true" form, perhaps only Alola's Exeggcutor has a third stage? Would give GF another reason to bullshit third stages onto old pokemon again.

>>27507412
but how the fuck do you make frisk viable competitively?

>>27511611
Z-moves and Megas.

but anon, you have yet to tell exactly how the flying shit is Frisk viable in competitive play and if i will be able to actually ride my exeggutor into battle like some Norse viking God

>>27512252
Frisk tells you when a pokemon is packing a Z-move or a Mega.

>>27512252
m8, he's gonna be a physical attacker with Harvest as his ability.
You'll be able to do Yache berry + dragon dance + harvest + synthesis

something they will use instantly the battle starts wow thats so game changing and will definitely flip the tables

>>27510487
Shut the fuck up bitch!

I like it because it looks more like actual fucking coconut tree than normal Exeggutor does.

>>27507010
That's never happening
Clearly bulky ice types are some in joke at gamefreak

>>27505198
I feel like they were extremely unnessicary. They should've made a new arctic fox, dragon tree(?) Pokemon. They're so different than their normal forms, that the only thing they share is basic design. However, I like them, and Executor is definately my favorite.

>>27510914
>All of the Kalos Forms are either Normal-type or Fairy-type.

>>27505198
>ruining old pokémon...
At least they aren't getting their own pokedex entries, dex numbers, and names. That would be super lazy and be the worst kind of variant. Look at digimon:
Augumon
Blackaugumon
Toyaugomon

Simple reskins and "dex" padding.

>>27508026
>forgettable
nigga Eggy was OU in Gens 1 and 2, but it sadly got a huge nerf with the Special split.

>>27512459
>knowing what will happen one turn in advance

>>27505485
But ice is just cold white sand. It makes perfect sense.

>>27513233

I don't think it's a joke, GF stats based off the pokemon's design rather than balance.

Since ice type mons are mostly fat as fuck or crystalline, they are stated like walls.

Notice how the only fast ice types are a ninja weasel and an ice ghost based on a yokai known for being quick with a bow.

>>27505198
guaranteed a slot in my first run

>>27512407
It has Frisk as its ability.

>>27512252
>huh, i wonder if this garchomp is holding a rocky helmet, choice scarf, or garchompite?
>oh, it's a choice scarf. well, now i don't need to worry about dragon dance. he's probably going for the outrage/dragon claw.
>thanks exeggutor

>>27514171
We don't know its hidden ability. It's probably gonna be harvest just like normal exeggutor

Alolan Marowak??? One of those trial captains bio mentions a Marowak- the fire guy

>>27505198
>>27505485
>Ruining
The originals still exist you dumb dumbs

World building is great, this game is a biologist's wet dream

>>27514343
probably gonna be part fire type referencing those fire stick dancers

>>27505198

>Gamefreak literally took Exeggutor
>and performed the Quan-Chi fatality on it

i can't hate it, it's impossible. It's just so stupid that I can't.
