Can't win them all I suppose...Unless it happens to deal double damages on burned pokemon.

Yeah, I saw it pointed out that other status healing attacks like smelling salts do this, so it's not impossible. Still not sure it'd be worth using though since you'd probably need to pair it up with scald for reliability, and now you have two water attacks instead of one

 

[PreyingShark]

I also noticed that Red/Blue will fight with 6 Pokemon each. That's a relief. They really should incorporate that into main story more.

Well, going by the JPN trailer that's just when you first meet them and fight. Since they say they're the bosses of the Battle Tree you'll probably face them again there and they'll only have 3 mons.

 

[Nightbird]

I'm in love with Incineroar's german name (Fuegro)

 

[Not75Drops]

Regarding the exclusive moves,

Spoiler

each of the starters probably has one more. Primarina will likely get the Aurora Veil move which looks much better than the one revealed today.

 

[DigtialT]

Litten3 looks like a fucking jojo character with those animations

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Decidueye is kind of a bad name though. Even if he's an awesome starter.

...Goddammit.

What are the benefits of grass ghost and fire dark?

 

[Boss Doggie]

INCENEROAR IS FUCKING FIVE ELEVEN

 

[Ydelnae]

The typing redeemed the starters for me, though. I still don't like Z moves, I feel like they are too ridiculous, I didn't mind Mega evolutions, and I think that Z moves might be good for the metagame, but it's the execution that throws me off.

The guardians are amazing. They feel like the best legendary group since Entei, Raikou and Suicune.

 

[tenderbrew]

Why would any company even release any new video games after this comes out?

 

[darklin0]

Fire/Dark, Water/Fairy, Grass/Ghost.

Wake me up in November, I am going into a self induced coma.

 

[Qurupeke]

So, is Red exclusive to Sun and Blue to Moon?

 

[Gengahrrr]

Info on the site makes it sound like we'll actually get to challenge the league.

Hopefully it's not just a cock tease like the ORAS frontier.

 

[rawbhawb]

Incineroar? Fire/dark? DARKEST LARIAT!?

Love it. Love everything about it. I want a team consisting nothing but him.

 

[doop_]

I AM FUCKING SHAKING !!!!!

 

[ionitron]

ah man Decidueye is soo fuckin cool man

like every body was focusing on litten hoping it wouldn't be fighting, AND THEN THEY CHANGE ROWLET SECOND TYPE

played us like a god damn fiddle

SERIOUSLY!! I'm so hyped right now, lmao.

I'm totally going to play the game, get one starter (Popplio), trade it, and then restart again and get Rowlett. I need to do it. Can't decide.

I also just want a really cool ghost type, and as much as I love Mimikyu, I really need Rowlett lol.

Ugh, don't remind me.

 

[RaidenXZ]

So, is Red exclusive to Sun and Blue to Moon?

I would hate them forever if they do something like that

if they can be sped up then I'm more than okay with them.

Well Blue does call you the Champ by the looks of it. So maybe theres a league?

 

[LeleSocho]

Tapu Lele huh?

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Yooooooooooo!!!!! That Red and Blue tease was HYPEEEEEEE AF!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

INCENEROAR IS FUCKING FIVE ELEVEN

Same height as me

Doesn't matter, no chance in hell I'm not picking a Ghost owl. Not a chance.

 

[Neptonic]

FIRE/DARK
GRASS/GHOST
GAME FREAK REDEEMED

 

[Shadow Broker]

What are the benefits of grass ghost and fire dark?

Fire take away the fairy weakness but take on a fighting weakness while dark adds on immunity to physic and a resistance to ghost. Everything else stays the same.

Ghost takes away the poison weakness while adding on weakness to ghost and dark and add on immunity to fighting and normal types. EVERYTHING else stays the same.

 

[sleepwalkcapsules]

I LOVE the league being on construction.

That helps make the Pokemon World so real, it contextualizes the "pokemon league" in such a new and fun way. Hope it tells us about the other leagues.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Well Blue does call you the Champ by the looks of it. So maybe theres a league?

I mean they outright said in the trailer that there will be a league formed at some point, possibly as a post game thing. I wonder if the league will get you the z moves that aren't part of the trials

 

[PreyingShark]

INCENEROAR IS FUCKING FIVE ELEVEN

...Purrfect.

 

[Koppai]

Fuck yeah Red Blue Cynthia and Wally o.o

 

[papertoonz]

god i'm in love with Decidueye animations, like him brushing stuff off his leaf coat and him pulling his hood strings are great

INCENEROAR IS FUCKING FIVE ELEVEN

Primarina is also the same high

 

[mrmickfran]

Persian, what have they done to you?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Incineroar is the best Starter OF ALL TIME.

Also surprised the Tapu ended up not following the Types of the Oricorio.

 

[Kouriozan]

3D Cynthia is all that matters.
HD 3D Cynthia will be the best thing ever on Switch.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Fire take away the fairy weakness but take on a fighting weakness while dark adds on immunity to physic and a resistance to ghost. Everything else stays the same.

Ghost takes away the poison weakness while adding on weakness to ghost and dark and add on immunity to fighting and normal types. EVERYTHING else stays the same.

Ghost also means it can't be prevented from switching out

 

[ffdgh]

Yeah, I saw it pointed out that other status healing attacks like smelling salts do this, so it's not impossible. Still not sure it'd be worth using though since you'd probably need to pair it up with scald for reliability, and now you have two water attacks instead of one

Yeah I know. There's still the mystery if Laser sight, throat chop, and aurora veil are their second exclusive move since no other pokemon could relate to those.

 

[Freewheelin']

No idea what starter I want. Love them all. This is terrible. Defo the strongest line up since Gen 4, arguably the best of all 7.

Think I'm inching towards Incineroar.

 

[PadWarrior]

Fire take away the fairy weakness but take on a fighting weakness while dark adds on immunity to physic and a resistance to ghost. Everything else stays the same.

Thanks this will be a tough choice.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

The legends were true

I love them all

 

[Boss Doggie]

With how Incineroar's profile is written, sounds like he acts like KING OF DINOSAURS.

also holy shit he winks in Pokemon Amie Two!

 

[Phu]

The typing redeemed the starters for me, though. I still don't like Z moves, I feel like they are too ridiculous, I didn't mind Mega evolutions, and I think that Z moves might be good for the metagame, but it's the execution that throws me off.

The guardians are amazing. They feel like the best legendary group since Entei, Raikou and Suicune.

We don't even know if they're legendary or not yet. On the site, they are listed as Other with the majority of the revealed Pokemon.

 

[Dark Cloud]

EPIC TRAILER. Holy shit this is amazing!!!

I called Fire/Dark, but Grass/Ghost?!! Wow

 

[Regiruler]

Maybe it will have a use in double battles?

Yeah, it's pretty terrible.

It could do extra if it heals a burn like wake-up-slap.

 

[Niraj]

Grass/Ghost is a surprise. Sweet.

 

[toastyToast]

Incineroar looks hype as fuck but I might have to go with deweydecibel

 

[Chase17]

Fire take away the fairy weakness but take on a fighting weakness while dark adds on immunity to physic and a resistance to ghost. Everything else stays the same.

Ghost takes away the poison weakness while adding on weakness to ghost and dark and add on immunity to fighting and normal types. EVERYTHING else stays the same.

A big bonus of ghost is that it is no longer 4x weak to ice.

 

[Trey]

grass/ghost nigga FUCK YES

Decidueye my second grass starter after Venesaur.

 

[Linkark07]

Red and Blue are back? Hype levels have increased.

 

[tenderbrew]

It could do extra if it heals a burn like wake-up-slap.

Ahhhh OK, that makes much more sense if that is the case.
