So... Alola Pikachu is probably a given at this point?

 

[Strimei]

.

Ooh, lightning rod, keep it immune.

Had been hoping for the skull to maybe be a mask instead, honestly, but eh, it works.

So... Alola Pikachu is probably a given at this point?

No. Exeggcute is normal despite evolving into an alolan form.

Is this one just a photoshop from the corocoro image? Edit: Nvm, seems to be real.

Guess that fire typing made it thinner lol.

I'm legit freaking out, that's so badass

 

[Kinsei]

Yes, people should stop using words to express how they personally feel about something - especially if it is negative.

Aloha Ninetales' design at least properly applies the idea "what if it were an ice fox instead?". What can you say about Raichu? "Uh, well it's Fairy sub type, I guess make the sharp bits softer?"

It's not Fairy though, it's Electric/Psychic.

So... Alola Pikachu is probably a given at this point?

Nope. There's no Alolan Exeggcute after all.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Those new pokemon!

Those new grunts!

These leaks!

This game!

Bryony is still the hottest one in the group. I love her.

...I don't even know how you can pick between them. They're literally identical bar hairstyle and colour.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

No

Those designs were wasted on the lamest admins in the franchise

 

[Starfish Hero]

Wonder if Alolan Marowak is a special attacker. Would give Lightning Rod a little more utility, but at least it's not near useless anymore.

 

[DeathSparks]

There's audio! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE8MqUf1Lts&feature=youtu.be

 

[GoldStarz]

Looks like Marowak can use Lightning Rod without a ring target now, sweet.

 

[udivision]

I thought it was the Ghost typing... things about to become a skull for a Cubone soon.

 

[DNAbro]

Nope.

 

[Geminosity]

Wishiwashi looks nice, but damn most of these new pokemon look bad. Like reeeeaaaaallly bad. I don't care how many times it's been said. Why is everything trying to look cute/ appeal to toddlers? Other then the Sun legendary and maybe the leaked Starter evos ( If there real) I have yet to see any other Pokemon that look badass.

Don't worry, I'm sure most of them will evolve into gross or edgelordy monstrosities to appeal to you like 98% of the actually useful roster rather than those of us who got bored of that kind of thing after our teens/hot topic phase

 

[ryan13ts]

If the Alola Raichu surfs on it's tail, it should have been a Electric/Water type instead, which is a fucking amazing type combo to boot, only two weaknesses and some good resistances. I'm just not seeing this Psychic part of the design though. Also really REALLY weird that Raichu got this form and not Pikachu, the series mascot. Surely they're still hiding a form for him as well?

Now I'm dying to see the Dolphin pokemon, my most wanted animal-based Pokemon ever. Please make it good GF.

Marowak keeping Lightning Rod is going to be nice.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Man this game is looking better and better. Making me want to change my preorder from Sun to the collectors one or just get Moon as well.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

It's not Fairy though, it's Electric/Psychic.

Even worse then, I saw the pink sub type logo and assumed Fairy going by the design. Literally nothing about the changes to its design suggests Psychic.

 

[Vin_Mistborn]

I'm guessing that, because Alolan Marowak is thinner, that also means it's faster. Please?

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

 

[ShadowFox08]

Its stats are probably gonna still suck, but I like the look and the electroc/psych typing! Genwunner ftw!!

 

[FelipeMGM]

Team Skull is cool



Im sorry

 

[Kouriozan]

If my Dragonite can't get a Mega Evolution, just give him a Alola form, Game Freak pls.

 

[Sandfox]

Even worse then, I saw the pink sub type logo and assumed Fairy going by the design. Literally nothing about the changes to its design suggests Psychic.

Can we learn more about it first?

 

[Diprosalic]

dude could just release the trailer instead of snapping every single image.

 

[Frostinferno]

Electric terrain?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Interesting. I guess you'd probably team it up with Tapu Koko then

 

[Dystify]

The leaker added "bye bye" to this post, so it seems to be the last image they will post.

 

[Kyzer]

electric swift swim uh oh

Spoiler

does this change anything?

 

[GoldStarz]

I mean I guess that's now a terrible ability but you have to waste a turn to use it... :\

I'm guessing the reason it's Psychic, is because it's literally floating off the ground while standing on its tail. You know, like, levitating. Also, wouldn't be surprised if the description for this thing mentions it being able to sense waves

The Psychic part is where he uses his tail as a surf board to levitate

 

[DeathSparks]

That's interesting

 

[Strimei]

Electric terrain?

One of the legendaries, Tapu Koko, causes it when it comes out, i believe, and its also caused by moves. Prevents sleeping, as memory serves.

 

[Sandfox]

Pair this thing with Tapu Koko and destroy lol.

Uber,

 

[Kinsei]

There goes my hopes for Aerodactyls not being extinct in Alola. Hopefully some other fossil Pokemon are around and have Alola forms.

 

[Bowlie]

Electric terrain???

Savage, lol

 

[ffdgh]

An electric version of swift swim? Neat.

 

[Kyzer]

its literally the guy leaking as hes translating them lmao

Tapu Koko

it hovers on its tail using psychic powers

what the fuck else do you want, 20 spoons circling around it?

 

[Puruzi]

ALOLAN RAICHU'S ABILITY SUCKS DICK

FUCK

 

[Griss]

Is this one just a photoshop from the corocoro image? Edit: Nvm, seems to be real.

This thing instantly goes into the top 20 all-time pokemon designs with potential to climb higher.

Ah, that's neat.

 

[DeviousAngel]

Was this posted?

That lugia design, fake or not, is pretty cool

 

[Blackquill]

A terrain dependant ability ? That sucks

 

[Hydrus]

Mudsdale? The railgun bug (vikavolt), Lurantis? The majority of Pokemon that we've seen are first stage Pokemon so of course they're cute.

Mudsdale looks bad. Vikavolt is pretty cool. Lurantis looks meh. Well if the leaks are true, and we're basically getting just a tad more then last gen, then we've already seen 40, probably already half.
