Vikivolt has a spot on my team.
Tapu KoKo is tight too.

I literally wanted a Hummingbird Moth-based Pokemon for like ever, the fact we might be getting one has me hyped.
Count me in as a bit put off by these at first but all of them are quickly growing on me---definitely can see why people might not be fans though since they seem to be going back to a Gen V-style after Gen VI sort of dialed things down a bit, but I wasn't really that into a bunch of Gen VI Pokemon in comparison so I'm kind of glad.
That Electric/Beetle is definitely going in my team.

Is there a cash prize for best "new pokemon suck" shitposts that I'm not aware of?
Though I will say that I don't like that Sonichu's tail is sprouting from his upper back...

Also the fact we're getting such a large amount here makes me hopeful Generation VII is gonna be a bit bigger than Generation VI.

Nope, just one of the oldest traditions of the Pokemon fanbase. Go read Watch da Birdie's thread on Pokemon designs if you wanna restore your faith in good discourse.

Remember that Gen VI officially revealed >50% of the Pokedex prior to launch (proportionately the most of any Gen, I think), so it doesn't mean much. I am hopefully that they'll give us more than Gen 6, though.

I just realized we've already got more Bug-type already than Gen VI.
True, but every batch of Pokemon was pretty small...revealing seven at once only half-a-month after we just got five others seems to indicate we might have a tad more.

i don't think many of them are part of the fan base anymore anyways.

That's true, I guess. Just hope that they don't over-announce and then there's not many for launch day. I've always maintained in my head that so long as it's more than Gen 6, I'll be happy.

Can we have a gen that doesn't have a Pikachu knockoff? This is more annoying than having Fire Fighter starters 3 straight gens.
I would be so sad if they went away. Pikaclones are my favorite recurring element in the series.

It's easily the best Pikaclone since Pachirisu, and I actually think it's better. Cool type, cute af, colorful spikes. Give it to me.

Drampa is amaaaaaazing
Yep, I have pretty much heard every shitpost when it comes to Pokémon design.
The Pokémon design may be varied over the generation but the shit post remains the same and it's boring and tiring.
Also has more electric type than Gen 6 as well, all we need is more than 2 ground type and Gen 7 will be better than Gen 6.
It's tradition plus it's marketable to sell plush.

Gotta sell merchandise.
Cutiefly actually looks like a bee fly.
Not only is Cutiefly the first Bug/Fairy Pokemon ever, but it's also the first Pokemon based on a true fly ever.
Fun fact: Bee flies are parasitoids. Wonder if Cutiefly's not as innocent as it at first seems...

Is there a rock/electric type yet? Could be cool. Make it an aerodactyl kind of thing because they love giving fossil Pokemon evolutions and Raichu is Gamefreak's biggest shame. I also don't know a thing about prehistoric mammals and would love to learn. Great!

thats actually a pretty cool idea.
that would be awesome
Mega Probopass will be Rock/Electric and it will be awesome.
There's not a single one of these guys I don't like, but seeing how I'm the guy that loves cocoon Pokemon enough to have a Lv. 100, fully EV-trained Kakuna, I'm unjustifiably excited for Charjabug.
Sorry I took it without asking, but mind if I use this?

... Black Sludge. It seems so obvious in retrospect! I was using Brightpowder like a total idiot. I guess I have to bring back li'l Captain Kakuna for my SM team!
Ah that classic. It was written by some guy named The Great Kakuna Man I believe. AFAIK he only posted twice: once before DP came out in English with a joke Kakuna discussion, then over a year later when Platinum came out JUST to make an analysis about Kakuna getting Bug Bite, which is why this is onsite
On a more related note: Assuming Tapu Koko is legendary and has an HP IV of 31, it seems to have base 70 HP. Guess its gonna be built for offense.

That fish is gonna have the most badass evolution ever. Believe..
I can see it being a single-evo. That said, I can see it being the one single EVO fish that's actually used competitively; even if everything else is awful, Dazzle's a total game changer.

So which of the new abilities do you guys think will be the most useful?
Alomomola was actually used competitively in singles OU for a stretch.

Either Dazzle or Stakeout. We'll have to wait to see how the former works but in theory it is pretty amazing.
Tapu Koko's Elec Maker sounds potentially game changing. Since its a Terrain, it won't be overwritten by weather, and it makes Pokemon immune to sleep until it goes away, AND it boosts Electric-type attacks.
I bet VGC really wishes they had Tapu Koko this year lol
