[Enter the Dragon Punch]

[Forkball]

Normal/Dragon is unexpected. Pika the Hedgehog is also Electric/Steel.

is that a real yokai watch design? because it looks fucking atrocious. like on-the-cover-of-action-replay-to-avoid-copyright-claims levels of bad.

 

[engineer87]

So is the fairy/bug supposed to be a mosquito or gnat?

I'm digging the hedgehog and someone in the staff definitely has been watching Never-ending Story.

Edit: it's a bee fly

[balladofwindfishes]

Magneton losing its unique typing to a Pika clone is a bit disappointing.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I wish they would slow down on creating new mons. There are far too many already :/ The new designs look alright tho... Especially the weird dragon thingy.

 

[Hot Coldman]

HE'S PERF

 

[Thud]

There are some really fucked fish out there in real life, so I do sort of love it for that

Watch it become the new Milotic.

The dragon reminds me of:

someone already linked the inspiration in the other thread, a trigger fish

 

[Delio]

This little badass Jumper cable bug is going right in my party.

 

[Kinsei]

that IS Grubbin

Really? Cool! I thought that the train bug was the first stage.

I'm talking about the purple elephant he posted

 

[Zalman]

The Pikachu hedgehog is going to get so many plushies

 

[Xord]

Why are they all so ugly.

 

[ffdgh]

HE'S PERF

Shiny better be a shade of blue.

It looks like something out of Courage the Cowardly Dog.

 

[MicH]

After looking at them a bit more of really like the electric bug. Can we finally get a good early-route bug?!

 

[Sigismundo]

Vikavolt is good shit. I'm glad I found a Pokémon I really like early on.

 

[ash_ag]

Some of these Pokémon look very...exotic. That makes sense for a region like Alola. Cutiefly has already grown into me.

So, Zygarde 50% can also turn into Megazygardord. I'm really curious to see how they'll incorporate this whole thing into the story.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

The only one I wasn't sure about was the fish; I assumed it was based on some ugly real-life thing.

Also the Electric/Fairy at the start is the region's guardian mentioned during the E3 footage.

 

[Yrael]

The Pikachu hedgehog is going to get so many plushies

I wouldn't mind a plushie of stoner dragon.

Speaking of Drampa, I'm seeing speculation online that perhaps it is an evolution of Dunsparce. I have my doubts, but I'd laugh if it actually turned out to be true.

 

[brinstar]

please have good stats Vikavolt, because you look rad as fuck and have endgame team slot potential

 

[Boss Doggie]

the fish might gain competitive use assuming it has decent stats

that anti-priority ability is a godsend

I'm talking about the purple elephant he posted

Ah yeah it's YW

After looking at them a bit more of really like the electric bug. Can we finally get a good early-route bug?!

Scolipede and Vivillon exist

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Oh my god they made a humhumunukunukuapua'a based pokemon

*It's our state fish*

 

[Westraid]

I definitely want Grandpa Dragon in my team!

Also really really love how they based アブリー on a 'bee fly'.

Gosh it's adorable.

 

[Busaiku]

After looking at them a bit more of really like the electric bug. Can we finally get a good early-route bug?!

Scolipede is really good.

 

[Forkball]

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT'S REAL. It even has an evolution.

?

Drowzee ain't got no teeth. But yes, all three spawn from the same legend about a tapir-like monster that eats dreams.

 

[jediyoshi]

Gettem

 

[Busaiku]

Bruxish is a hard Whimsicott counter?
As if it couldn't get more hated.

 

[Valahart]

Well those are very out of the box designs, it's gonna take some time to swallow.


Weird because I had instantly loved all(most) the designs they had shown so far.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Really? Cool! I thought that the train bug was the first stage.

nah it's a cocoon, which I must say is a really nice way of doing it, reminds me of Spewpa

 

[Joqu]

I definitely want Grandpa Dragon in my team!

Also really really love how they based アブリー on a 'bee fly'.

Gosh it's adorable.

Oh gosh. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. They ARE adorable

 

[pbayne]

Why are they all so ugly.

Agreed, scrapping the bottom of the barrel material mostly.

That electric bug was cool though.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

What's that first Mon they showed based off? It looks cool

 

[dreamlongdead]

That's a lot of Pokemon to show in one video. I will be avoiding future videos, since I need to go into this game blind. I can only hope Gamefreak are adding an acceptable number this time.

I don't have problems with most of them. I really love the designs of both Fairy types. I actually like the fish a lot.

The dragon is ugly as sin. That is probably the worst design I've ever seen. I'm totally serious.

I'm indifferent toward the Pikachu clone. It's tolerable at least, and the Steel typing makes it a little different.

 

[Busaiku]

What's that first Mon they showed based off? It looks cool

Tapu Koko
The Guardian God of MeleMele.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Tapu Koko
The Guardian God of MeleMele.

Cool he will be mine

 

[Charlie0108]

Initially wasn't really a fan but went back to sleep after seeing them and they've grown on me since I woke. There still aren't very many 'Mons I want to use on my team though yet. So far it's just Litten and Pikipek. I would use Vikavolt but I don't really want to limit the team by using both the early bird and bug, especially considering they're not historically great stats wise.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Drampa is amazing. I'd be surprised if any other Pokémon this gen is better.

 

[Visceir]

What are autobots doing in my pokemon game?!

 

[Panthalassic]

Fish is based on a file fish.

 

[Ran rp]

Well those are very out of the box designs

Agreed, scrapping the bottom of the barrel material mostly.

lol

 

[Muskieratboi]

Grandpa Dragon, Mecha Beetle, and Tribal Fairy thing are AMAZING. Love it.

 

[Dark Cloud]

This is seriously one of the best gens ever for Pokemon designs! They all look great! I love the dragon lol

 

[Delio]

Scolipede and Vivillon exist

Heck I can even attest to Leavanny being good as it mopped up some of the Elite Four in B/W all on it's own after a Swords dance.

 

[Infinite]

Wow these Pokemon look great. I like how, for lack of a better term, exotic they all look. Can't say I'm dissatisfied with how any of them looks.

 

[Tanwo]

I’m still not sure how to feel about half of those, but they are surely unique. I like that we get new or less usual typings.

Charjabug is weird, Vikavolt looks cool. The Grubbin line seems great so far.

More hedgehogs is nice, but I wish Togedemaru had more of hedgehog and less of Pikachu.

Drampa, having Grampa in the name and being Normal type, makes me think it will be the evolution of Yungoose

Spoiler

Okay, maybe that’s a bit ridiculous

Bruxish and Tapu Koko, not really liking their design, but I guess they fit thematically.

 

[LordRaptor]

This is a really cool design as well, based on things like moth designs looking like predators eyes to scare off other predators - is that a combusken head it forms?
