These are from a while back. It looks like someone just printed off the original fake, and then drew a Pichu on the side.

Yeah, if you read the site's description, you'd know they only go berserk when someone tries to attack one of the kids they play with and protect.
Thx...
... actually, the Rowlet fan evo seems nice (at least a logic evolution), the other two... :/Ugh, these are all so tryhard....
I like most starter final Evo designs. I like how game freak doesn't try to make every mon look like "ow the edge". Lots of cuteness, weirdness, and charming final forms that have better design than all the hardcore looking shit like these. Reminds me of digimon, ugh.

I saw a tweet about this. It seems to be just based on the space left on the starter section, and that Rockruff shares a secret with the starters.

Maybe that secret is synchro? We know Professor Kukui has a Rockruff, so it's possible that he could teach or explain the concept of synchronizing through his own Pokemon. If it's not a new mechanic, than it'll just be story-related.
Either way, Rockruff isn't a starter. Not only would GF not break tradition with a 4th starter, but we've already seen the starter selection screen/process.
Indeed, that's the problem.
They try to enhance the traits the starters have, but then Game Freak stopped doing starter evo like that now.

So apparently there were moves found in Pokemon Go's data that aren't in the main series called Electric Beam and Ice Spikes? That picture of Pikachu in the new features section might mean that Electric Beam is some sort of special move?

Footage of SuMo's opening sequence and Rockruff and Komala in battle from the Hong Kong Nationals.
Notice how Komala can still use normal moves despite its ability giving it permanent sleep staus. It means its ability is the only one that gives it full immunity to all non-volatile status effects, no?
If it gets an evolved form with decent base stats/movepool that retains its ability, then it could be a competitive powerhouse.

Does Komala literally have SLP status while attacking? If it permanently sleeps without the effect of sleep that's really powerful; it's complete non-volatile status immunity as you said. Unfortunately, I guess this means Rest will fail. I hope it gets Slack Off. That would certainly fit.

I actually might be wrong in how I saw how Komala works. It's not asleep but in some half-sleep/half-awake limbo. So basically it's immune to every non-volatile status but sleep. Still a pretty useful ability.

So the island colours for the islands representing Alolola are Yellow, Pink, Purple and Red. So the last 3 guardians could be Fairy, Fairy/Poison, and Fairy/Fire. A Fiery Terrain and Toxic Terrain could be interesting. Also, first potential Poison type for people who have been waiting.
Game Freak: "Fairy types weren't enough for you, fine then! Here you go!!"
There's always a chance that Niantic made up some moves, but that would be weird because it's not like there's any shortage of Pokemon moves to choose from, like Icicle Spear or Charge Beam. Even though the initial launch is Gen I Pokemon only, there's moves from all generations in the game like Moonblast and Shadow Sneak.
Funny enough, I just saw another possible new move in that list called Starburst.

The Japanese Expo in Paris is in a couple of hours with Masuda...2013 saw the reveal of Honedge plus a video explaining the Kalos = Paris connection, wonder if we'll get anything major this year without the connection to Paris.
I was just watching the Mega Kangaskhan reveal and man, that was HYPE. I know Mega Evolutions are divisive, but I love them, so I hope we there are lots of them in Sun and Moon. Although part of me wonders if they'll be sidelined entirely in favor of a new gimmick, i.e. Synchro.

I doubt it. More than likely it'll be an addition, much like the Primal Regressions of Kyore and Groudon.
I'm doubting it. After all, we just got a bunch of new Pokemon last week.
Then again, Coro Coro showed Rockruff and Komala shortly before E3, and then E3 proceeded to show entirely different Pokemon (i.e. Pikipek, Yungoos, Grubbin, etc).
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that happened last Gen too and internationally they weren't revealed until last week.
Fair point! But maybe Masuda will bring something regardless. I mean, he -is- Masuda!
Maybe we'll get a gym leader or the first look at the evil. So far we've only got the Professor(s) and Rivals introduced to us.

they reveal you can combine Magearna and Volcanion

If you find it hard to believe then why are you asking about it when no one else has talked about it in the last three days?

Man, that got me shivering with excitement like it's 2013. GF should reveal cool shit to a huge audience of fans more often.
I only noticed someone brought up potential new moves when browsing this thread today.

On another note, I was looking at Masuda's Twitter just now and he retweeted this gorgeous fan art of Bruxish:
Looks great! Just like a real fish that has been slightly cartoonified. Whats not to love?
Looks like we got a new Pokemon reveal after all. Slightly less impressive than Honedge imo but still pretty cool.

So um, yeah, this, I don't have a source or anything, but, yeah, this.
In all honestly, maybe it's fake, but Synchro evolution was a given for me ever since Ash-Greninja appeared. This just confirms what I've been thinking for a while IF it turns out to be real. Even if it's not, I think Synchro evolution is the next big think. The way I picture it, it's that your pokemon appearence changes to ressemble your trainer, so that way any pokemon with a Synchro evolution would be different depending on how you customize your character. Would be neat, but still, take it with a block of salt.

Would be very cool if you could Synchro any Pokemon but it'll probably be like starters and popular Pokemon.So um, yeah, this, I don't have a source or anything, but, yeah, this.

Yeah, it was more than possible, but even then, I think is a cool idea. I was thinking with a friend that, since there is multiple stones in the bracelet (shown in the artwork of the trainers) maybe they represent each of the stats that a pokemon has. Thus, by exchanging the stones and synchro evolving a pokemon, you could boost a specific stat. Would be a cool mechanic in my opinion.

If this is true.... Synchro should be the huge thing this game should be boasting about along with Battle Frontier and in depth player customization...
