Weezing and Muk are going to be fire, bookmark me. Muk is going to look like pure lava, I can totally see it coming

Unless the new variations give a substantial boost like a mega form does then it doesn't really help anything either. Ice/Fairy Ninetales , ha viability is really left to its stats at this point. It's kind of up in the air but Megas still helped a heap load of Pokemon become more prevalent in battles, OU and UU mainly. You can't really deny that.

I like the new forms, but something tells me that they looked up their unused designs, changed their typping and called it a day

I would be SO here for that Muk form (or just a new pokemon ffs) but if they make Weezing anything but dark or electric/poison then imma fall out, because she doesn't need a frail typing as a defensive pokemon. they better not touch ha ability either.

With only four islands and no real league, that doesn't really seem like the pacing of the game really goes on for too long. At least your main journey. Or even traveling the Alola region. Unless the islands are huge and the level gaps are insane.
I know the leaks talk about Lance and Blue making an appearance as does the S.S. Anne, so I wonder if the appearance of it is possible to travel to Kanto (it being the 20th anniversary and all). With the small "leauge" in Alola, the pacing for two regions would be much more doable. Or even going back to Kalos where you can obtain a key stone there as well as find the mega stones. Just a theory.

Yah , you do trials now, similar to the orange islands. You do a test for some person, like a small quest, fight a "totem" Pokemon then you fight the chief or something of the island.

I wonder if they'll be challenging. I doubt it, tho. I bet the Rotom Dex will tell us where eveything is, so the children can save time.

 maybe its more fun in-game, good of them to shake things up I guess though. Most people seemed to want a new spin on the gym system, hopefully its challenging and not just dumbing down the game

I'm just hoping there's more than 2 Ground & Poison types this time around. I hope they start introducing new Ice types soon, as well as Dark types, too -- considering not 1 new Ice or Dark type have been introduced yet!

I'm pretty sure after you finish the test you fight the trial captains, then the totem and then the kahuna or that.

@Drip, don't forget we've still gotten zero word on the villainous team, assuming there still is one.

Since the accurate rumors, more or less, confirm that we're going to see:
Alolan Rattata & Ratticate - Dark type
Alolan Butterfree - Bug/Psychic type
Alolan Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam - Fighting type
Alolan Nidoqueen & Nidoking - Poison/Fighting type
Alolan Growlithe & Arcanine - Water type
Alolan Doduo & Dodrio - Fighting/Flying type
I'd also love to see:
Alolan Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume - Grass/Fairy or Grass/Fire
Alolan Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath - Fire
Alolan Gastly, Haunter, Gengar - Fairy or Poison/Fairy
Overall, I think this is a really cool idea. I like it much better than megas. I wonder if these forms will get their own spot in the national dex, or if they'll just appear in the Alola dex. Also, I wonder if you can find the regular versions of these Pokémon, too. |
I love how most of this looked like terrible fanfic before today 
Pressed that they're making me wait for water growlithe  if he and Arcanine slay, Litten will be my starter.

My biggest fear is the game lasting less than 20h, hopefully in-game the islands are big.
Maybe they'll add sidequests now  ?
I can each island having 5-10 and the bigger reward is a Z-Stone or a Megastone.

haven't the games generally got easier and shorter as time went on? Why would they change that now.
