I call bullshit

Joe says so.

How fun lol.

Here is the video of Alolan Dugtrio

I don't have that girl in my demo. Guess I gotta unlock her.

 

[Belgian Dude]

The "two more Alolan lines" is about Alolan Forms, not Alolan Pokemon in general, no?
That's what the tweet says.

Might be based on time too? Maybe? What time zone are you?

 

[Geminosity]

Ground/Dragon definitely

More like Ground/Dragonforce

 

[Sandfox]

Water Dugtrio would be cool.

Yeah its about forms. Apparently while they were pretty thorough about scrubbing info, the forms are in and that's what's been found.

Yeah from what I can tell. Still MASSIVELY disappointing that they'd introduce such a cool concept like this then only include a handful of them. Plus I don't know how well it bodes for the new mon total :/

Right and if they are three stagers then it lines up with the 80 new pokemon and 20 new Alolan forms leak.

80 is a pathetic amount of new Pokemon especially after the abysmal amount in X/Y.

 

[Boss Doggie]

dat dotrio

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

man I am just sick of the damn gen one pandering

I don't think it's two+ final either, btw. From what I gathered, the dex just stops at Hakamo-o (they wouldn't be able to check for the form 'flag', so to speak), so it's possible there are more Alolan forms placed later on the Regional Dex. (After whatever # Hakamo-o is).

That's what I understood, at least.

Ah, alright, you're getting 80 from the amount of Alolan forms, gotcha.
Considering one of the two is Dugtrio, apparently, I don't think that will be a problem, though. Dunno.

 

[Shadow Broker]

There's outright video footage...

I just saw the video. I don't know what to say.

 

[Sandfox]

I would expect more in whatever comes after Sun and Moon.

 

[Thorakai]

how long do I have to stay awake for all the pokemans to surface

 

[ArchedThunder]

So that person data mining says only two more Alolan lines? The low number of Alolan forms doesn't bode well for the new mon total

(((((

Hopefully the others have just been scrubbed form the demo files. If that's all there is it seems kinda like a waste.

One of the two lines is Dugtrio. It is a two-stager.

Also it's possible that the other Alolan form is in the demo, meaning that they could've scrubbed out all alolan forms not in the demo.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I just saw the video. I don't know what to say.

That thing is hideous lol Alolan raichu remains the best alola form

 

[Hockey123]

man I am just sick of the damn gen one pandering

The list of gen 1 mons who haven't received another form/evolution in future gens is getting pretty small.

Oh, I thought Dugtrio was separate from the two. Thank goodness.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I would expect more in whatever comes after Sun and Moon.

Yeah, I sure hope so. They kinda scratched that "new Pokémon" itch a little and I've loved them all so far, so I was hoping they'd go nuts with them.

Still holding out for more than 100 new Pokémon though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

if you check the granbull apparently this is said

 

[fisheyes]

Yeah, is it possible the Alolan forms they've datamined are in the demo because they actually appear in the demo - perhaps they are the 5, 18 and 24 days later events - and not because they are all of them? They've been pretty thorough covering their tracks it would seem, so it would be a big oversight to keep Alolan forms in unless they meant to.

Its probably just wishful thinking though.

 

[Merc_]

lol I can't even get on to the eshop right now.

Damn demo hype.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Huh I guess I never thought of it.

If they blocked the new Pokémon from even being counted beyond what's in the demo I imagine the same is true for Alolan forms.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I really want Nidoking/Queen to get Alola forms

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Just seems to me That GameFreak just doesn't want to do 100s of mons anymore.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

if you check the granbull apparently this is said

Granbulls are Pink, Alolan form confirmed!

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Just seems to me That GameFreak just doesn't want to do 100s of mons anymore.

Well I can safely say that if this is a standard going forward then I only need to play every other Pokémon game :v

 

[Kinsei]

Yeah. There's really no reason to play a new Pokemon game that doesn't have a ton of new Pokemon or the nostalgia factor of a remake.

 

[Hockey123]

Random guess

At the end of gen 9 there will be 999 pokémon.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Just seems to me That GameFreak just doesn't want to do 100s of mons anymore.

But wouldn't it be nice to have that 51 at the end?

 

[Shadow Broker]

Joe says so.

How fun lol.

I'm shocked. Watch this fucking thing be OP in the meta game and everyone will use it.

That thing is hideous lol Alolan raichu remains the best alola form

I can't believe they spent resources in giving Dugrio three wigs. I mean what type can a wig add to Dugtrio? Dragon?

Spoiler

Alolan Raichu is cool but Alolan Muk is a thing.

 

[ffdgh]

I really want Nidoking/Queen to get Alola forms

on an unrelated note I want then to finally fix nidoqueen randomly not being able to breed.

 

[Delio]

Whoa

It's so silly that it's perfect.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Yeah. There's really no reason to play a new Pokemon game that doesn't have a ton of new Pokemon or the nostalgia factor of a remake.

I mean I play almost entirely for the new Pokémon so if they're doing ~80 per gen that means I can play every other one and be fine. I'll def be playing the Gen V remakes tho

 

[ArchedThunder]

Yeah. There's really no reason to play a new Pokemon game that doesn't have a ton of new Pokemon or the nostalgia factor of a remake.

How about having fun? That seems like a good reason to play a Pokemon game.

 

[Boss Doggie]

why are people shitting on Dugtrio? Holy shit this is hilarious.

 

[Kinsei]

How about having fun? That seems like a good reason to play a Pokemon game.

The new Pokemon are the main source of fun for me.

 

[Hockey123]

Going to need a dugtrio version

 

[Sandfox]

why are people shitting on Dugtrio? Holy shit this is hilarious.

Yeah, I'm going to train one.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That's a ways off. I wonder what they would call it?

They should definitely include the additional cities from Black 2.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Because laughs aside, the design is absolute trash and makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

There has to be a reasonable amount of new Pokémon for me to have fun

That's a ways off. I wonder what they would call it?

They should definitely include the additional cities from Black 2.

I would honestly be down for kind of a blend of BW and BW2 where you play through the remake normally like BW then after the E4 the new areas and stuff from BW2 opens up.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Because laughs aside, the design is absolute trash and makes no sense whatsoever.

for now

when the lore is revealed it's gonna be eye-opening!

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Yeah. There's really no reason to play a new Pokemon game that doesn't have a ton of new Pokemon or the nostalgia factor of a remake.

Agreed, I may hold off on playing this and wait to see what the next one will be. None of the new Pokemon have really interested me so far.

 

[randomusername]

Lmao that dugtrio is fantastic

 

[Kinsei]

for now

when the lore is revealed it's gonna be eye-opening!

I can make up a backstory for my cats poop. That doesn't make it anything other than poop.

 

[PK Gaming]

why are people shitting on Dugtrio? Holy shit this is hilarious.

If you were a huge fan of Electric-type Pokemon you'd understand

I don't just hate Dugtrio

I despise it

 

[Hockey123]

Because laughs aside, the design is absolute trash and makes no sense whatsoever.

Just wait for the lore. It will change how you look at it, and maybe life as well.
