Pokémon Sun & Moon | Info and speculation thread

How do you guys feel about the new mons so far? I saw this in a thread on 4chan and I figured it'd be cool to do here as well:

The comment appearently says "these guys haven't been revealed yet" implying they are real

Yeah, I saw the comment, but this would be akin to someone bringing a 3d printed mockup of the NX controller to an event with Miyamoto and him saying "Whoa, we haven't even revealed the system yet!" and people taking that as confirmation

C'mon man, the sketches had Mallow before she was even revealed. There is no reason not to believe they're real other than just not liking them.

Yeah, the only way to really doubt outside of just denial it is if you believe they're old and outdated and not the final design... but that doesn't mean it wasn't real at some point lol

Even then that's a grasp at straws, those sketches were likely for the anime.
 
Ugh, so much for wishing for a cool fire starter again.
Yeah. It's hard to believe that the last good fully evolved fire starter was over a decade ago.

You guys telling me beating up Pokemon with folded chairs and tables, breaking their spines, and bodyslamming them ain't cool?!

!!!

I NEED A WWE WRESTING GIF RIGHT NOW

Nah. The last good one was Typhlosion. Blaziken was alright and Infernape is just decent.

lmao
 
I like Litten's (leaked) final evolution but it's disappointing in the context of the previous fire starters.

Grass/Water, for better or worse, feel genuinely different whereas fire appears the share quite similar themes/designs.

Meh, for me, any design is better than Delphox. Fuck that thing was creepy.

Poppmaid reminds me of Meganium, so I'm warming up to it. Still going Rowlett tho.

they're real, man. just be at peace with it.

I'm not saying they're fake, I'm saying the idea that Masuda would offhandedly confirm, what at this point is a "rumor"/leak is laughable. Not to mention here's what the fan artist said happened

Charizard is still the best pokemon ever created.

You can't top charizard.
Doenst matter how many rowlet or poppolion you have.
Charizard is Charizard.

Stay mad.

I'd take any starter design in the series so far over Delphox, quite honestly.

Never understood the Popplio hate, myself.

Think the final design of Popplio3 will look (a lot) better when we see it in official art and motion.
 
I'm going to Japan in December and now I'm strongly considering bringing a permanent marker in the off chance we stumble upon Masuda at a Poke center or something :P

Sorry I'm not up to date, but what's the deal with the "1/5 2/5 3/5" etc square?

Holy shit, he said "deru"!?

I think those leaked starters are real (and that Litten's final is Fire/Dark), but that's a flimsy confirmation. Context is important in language.
 
Team Rowlet if that final evo is true, though I like all of them I really wish the fire one wouldn't have become bipedal. It'd better be fire dark too.
 
I got to admit that Wrestler cat is growing on me, if only a little bit. The more I look at it, the more I tolerate it. I'm probably never going to love it, but at least I don't hate it.

However, the wait for a truly great final evolution Fire starter continues. It's been a while since the glory days of Typhlosion and Blaziken. The others are merely good/alright (Charizard, Infernape) or horrible (Emboar, Delphox).

Bit the first 4 you listed are truly great...
 
I'm still pretty sure we'll see 2 final evo's per starter like Rockruff. Holding on hope. I do like the leaked final evo's though; Rowlet's is fantastic

Will you love him more if there's a fighting or dark type move that involves smacking a furniture on pokemon?
