That's not a thing.
It was a mistranslation. Both Rockruff and the starters have a secret, but it's implied that they're unrelated.When was that confirmed? Last I heard Corocoro was hinting that Rockruff has a secret shared with the starters (though that was a while ago, so I've probably missed something).
I'm starting to wish Pokemon would change up the starter types someday.
I know they usually get a second type once they are fully evolved, but I think it would freshen up the early game if they did 3 different types that roughly match the Water/Fire/Grass combo.
I believe fighting, rock, and flying types would make a balanced triangle.
Yeah, its totally not like girls play Pokemon or anything. That's obviously what they were going for 😑
Edit: also funny that you mention MLP, another childrens property that adult men are convinced is for them instead of, you know, kids.
My only problem with Popplio's evolution is the fact that it's gone from looking so gender neutral/generally cute, to obviously feminine looking is a shock.
I wonder why they decided to make Jynx female only in Gen 2 but let Mr. Mine be whatever?
Why would you they want to make it harder?
Speaking of the demo frog, I wonder how they'll go about its ability when it comes to breeding since Torrent and Protean already account for the normal and hidden ones. Hope it's not shiny locked...

Yeah I can see this happening with ash greninja.Chances are it'll be like this:
Still a Pikachu but unable to breed or evolve.
So basically it's an alternate form with the ability and won't be able to breed (since it's meant to be Ash's Greninja, this makes the most sense).
Wouldn't be surprised if it's not Bankable, as well.
Yeah the secret isn't a shared one. People conflated the whole thing.
Because starters are suppose to be a rare Pokémon and is one of the toughest choice that the player will make at the start of the team as what starter they pick will determine how their team will grow.

I'm not understanding the hate for feminine Pokémon designs
Like, does every Pokémon need to be modeled after Machamp? Tf is wrong with a little diversity?

A great deal of kids will probably be pissed if Ash Greninja gets spiky eared/cosplay Pikachu treatment.
I don't see it being game-locked, tbh.
Jynx is literally just a woman in a red dress lmfao - in other words, a terribly designed Pokémon. Not to mention one that was altered due to allegations of racism. Please tell me that's not your entire argument for why feminine Pokémon designs shouldn't exist.Yeah who doesn't love Jynx, right guys?

Interesting. Like, I guess I could see that being a thing back when Pokémon first started. But now? That's still a thing? Wtf? Kind of ridiculous.It's a small, unconscious bias a lot of people have: everything has to be "gender-neutral" to appeal to everyone, where "gender-neutral" is actually male coded. Women are (generally) expected to learn to empathize with a male viewpoint/characteristics, while men don't often have that expectations.
It's a thing.
I could kiss you rnBrionne is utterly adorable. You just need to take into account that people who love an emo scenester owl probably have terrible taste.

Mr. Mime's name is only gendered in the west, it's original name is Barrierd.I wonder why they decided to make Jynx female only in Gen 2 but let Mr. Mine be whatever?
How can anyone hate on based Brionne
Technically it started in Gen one with Nidoran M and Nidoran F.
It was just applied to almost all the other Pokémon in Gen two.
Hoo boy those starters... I think I'm bowing out for this one. Thanks Pokemon, it was fun. I'll always love you.
You're wrongQuite easily, that thing is a freak

I'm more bothered by the fact that nidorina and Nidoqueen can't breedit still pisses me off they havent retconned the nidorans into one single dex number.
Yeah if it's one thing this gen suffers from, it's too many new Megas!Hoo boy those starters... I think I'm bowing out for this one. The Alola region & Alola forms look super cool but with all these Mega-evos, added features and new design direction for the new pokes, I think I've just aged out of the series. I hope that future generations can enjoy the series as much as I did when I was younger.
Thanks Pokemon, it was fun. I'll always love you.
I hope ash greninja isn't too high of a level so I can use him right away in the full game.
Seems to be 37 in the video footage, which I assume is from the demo. Frogadier evolves at level 36, so I'm guessing it's going to be one of the two.
I mean, sample size of 4, but none of my Pokémon playing sisters like Popplio's design. The eldest (they're half sisters, all significantly younger than me) actually said it was a bit insulting to suppose that girls would necessarily want something with pony tails and big round eyes. She does like 'feminine' designs - Alolan Ninetales has her hyped - but Popplio's line does nothing.
My impression of what they thought is that it is too much of an infantilized portrait of femininity, compared to more 'sophisticated' portraits like Ninetales, Delphox, and Gardevoir. I'm inclined to agree. I don't think the Popplio line was aimed at girls at all, or if it was, then the people doing the design haven't actually met many young girls. I think that it was squarely aimed at the otaku market.

Good catch. That usually means he won't obey until I have the first gym badge. But since there are no gyms I wonder how that will work?Seems to be 37 in the video footage, which I assume is from the demo. Frogadier evolves at level 36, so I'm guessing it's going to be one of the two.

Damn dude.Stop projecting and just admit you want to fuck Brionne if that's the first thought that came to your head.

Ah didn't know they did that in oras. I'm thinking the trainer will be Ash. Think it would be pretty cool.It might be withheld until a certain point in the game.
The Glalie/Steelix from the ORAS demo has a different OT so I'm assuming this will be the same. Watch the the trainer's name in the demo be Ash.
