Yes.So if Blue is Green in Japan, does that mean this girl is Blue over there?

I had hoped for Fire/Dark but had no hope. I expected them to go "I know, let's make him Fire/Fighting! We've not had one of those before right?" and we'd have another Fire/Fighting starter to go with the rest. I'm so happy my hopes came true and not my expectations.

Gary confirmed nice guy now?
Kinda looks like a butterfly head.
Getting your ass beat by Mew-two humbles a guy.

deciduous but before you say the ous portion replace it with eye
Hell yes, getting Incineroar. Naming him Tiger Mask/Tiger Mask II/Tiger Mask W/etc. would be too easy...maybe I'll pick someone from Lucha Underground or just name him Haitch, as both are heels and bloated as fuck.
Though, if I name my first Litten Tiger Mask, I can breed for a perfect IV/nature Litten in the future and name that one Tiger Mask II or W, and it will be super canon

My guess is "de-cid-ju-eye," like deciduous.
With reason. We already have three Fire/Fighting starters with high physical attack stats, a fourth would be redundant and would probably be overshadowed like Emboar was.

The post game tree reminds me of Pokémon Colusseum story Battle Mountain, where you got to climb it fighting 100 trainers.

Thanks. I'm practicing saying it but I'm going to need to hear other people say it to get use to it.
Edit: Thanks to all for the help!
I get that. People have been saying it for a long time. Really don't need to hear the same damn complaints. You're literally over the hundredth person I've seen say that.
I agree. I hope they do the same for more of the returning trainers from old generations. Wally seems to be the same age (or am I mis-remembering) which makes me concerend though.

Decidueye?
Incineroar?
uggggh.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm picking Popplio now...
As much as I think Pokemon designs generally tend to stay solid over time, Game Freak's naming conventions sure don't. Sometimes I imagine to myself what older Pokemon might be named today. And I shudder
Charizard? Combustigeck
Dragonite? Dragondorable
Feraligatr? Feralidile
Wooper? Tadpale
Ekans? Snakekans
Dunsparce? Ouroboring
Ursaring? ...Ursaring
and so on
hey that'd make a fun thread
That's what I'm thinking but it's still clunky af
Incineroar?
uggggh.

I thought it was a play on deciduous as in the type of tree
Nvm you were just helping with pronunciation
I'll just blame Wally's apparent age on whatever growth inhibition made Red not visibly age a day between gen 1 and 2.

Red and Blue all grown up, omg
His colour scheme wasn't a thing in those games was it? Or at least it wasn't in HGSS, that's the design I remember
Anyway, I'm not bothered by anyone calling him Blue, I usually do so too. But once you start designing his outfit after his name like Red's is it really does stand out to me. So I'm bothered TPC hasn't bothered changing it, and yes, this is an absurdly minor issue. But they should've done it back with HGSS really, after LeafGreen happened internationally
Which might very well be the case, I wouldn't know! All I know is I see most people refer to him as Gary anyway, so I can't imagine a lot of people would notice a name change.

Been a Litten fan since day one and I'm glad he's the champion of the masses for real.

Incineroar's a great name. Roles off the tongue and sounds aggressive. A lot like Charizard.Decidueye?

Decidueye is a garbage name. Very awkward to say and it doesn't communicate the feel of the Pokemon at all. Like why even use deciduous as part of the name? Is the Pokemon associated with autumn leaves falling?
Now that Alolan Persian is revealed I can finally post The Best Comic

Yeah that much was obvious to me.

Don't forget that heel wrestlers need the crowd to build up HEAT.
Yeah it's not just a typical "heel wrestler" but has layers of puns on him. Then there's his backstory literally lifted from Tiger Mask (a heel wrestler too but works for orphans).

God this is incredible.
Man, Oshawott was so great. They really nail water starters more often than other types. Think only one I don't like is the Piplup line.

Are there people seriously bitching about the Gen 1 rival's name? Holy shit get over it. If you want it to be Green so bad, play in Japanese, it's already on the cart anyway.
Well, with Ivysaur getting cut, we DO need another grass type Pokemon in Smash Bros...
He's still kind of a dick in GS. He refuses to battle with you until you get all the Kanto badges and calls the Johto gyms pathetic since you beat them. His dialogue is typically stand offish and even though he admits defeat he still vows to defeat you eventually. Plus his gym has all these annoying puzzles which sounds like something he would implement.
