Possible Pokemon Sun and Moon Mascost Leaked Through Trademarks
- Thread starter Watch Da Birdie
- Start date
Norse was last gen, I doubt they'll revisit right away.
Not saying you can't have one, but it won't be from the sun-inspired Legendary.

Like I'm not gonna get the solar lion and call him Solaire or Sun Bro.
I'm gonna call the sun lion Redundant.
The legendary trio, sure. The rest of the gen, legendaries included, were whatever. Not like they can't pick and choose. Every gen's entire set of legendaries have been from a host of different cultures. And it doesn't have to be a legendary (though it should).

They won't change their starter color palettes.Hmm...I know Arcanine is a dog, but it already has the tiger stripe design nailed imo.
They should make this potential fire tiger starter blue, to differentiate it more from Arcanine. Something like this:
Please no bipedal. For any of the starters tbh.
Zygarde 10% is based on Fenrir. That's as close as we're getting right now.
Ahhh, dammit. I forgot about that. I don't really care for that form.

Lava Shark could be really cool . I really dont see the lion happening.
I know, but they should. :/
Im on the Sun Shark side - Sol Galeo.
It would be awesome, however that just makes me think of Kyogre.
Fenrir is a wolf, not a doberman pinscher. It's more likely Zygarde 10% was based on Garm, given its chthonic theme.
I dunno, Fenrir fits with 50% as Jormungandr and 100% as Hel, whom are all children of Loki by the same mother, and the scarf like thing around its neck fits as the attempt at binding Fenrir.

Grass owl starter sounds like the best thing ever. On board if true.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
That reminds me of that one Grass Owl Starter that had been "leaked" on 4chan a few weeks ago, totally looked fake but now...

Arcanine and Entei are both based on lion statues.
Growlithe and Arcanine are based on shisa and/or komainu, which are creatures resembling lions, dogs, and often tigers. Entei is not a dog at all, at least not primarily. All three Legendary beasts resemble the jungle cats: lion (Entei), tiger (Raikou) and cheetah (Suicune). Granted, the fan-term "Legendary Dogs" was weirdly widely- and universally-accepted at the time.
I've been lied to my entire life.
It would be cooler if we had something less obvious than a lion.

But I don't want Fenrir to suck.
Besides, wouldn't he be more apt to be Ground type?
specifically the beasts are based on mythical asian beasts with their feline aspects ramped up, Entei being a shisa, Suicune being a quilin, and Raikou being a raijuu. Funnily enough we got a canine variant of two of those (Arcanine for shisa and Manectric for raijuu), so it makes me wonder if we'll eventually get a canine variant of the quilin.

That would be amazing.
Shark could be Water type with the ability to use Fire-type moves.
Bird could be Fairy/Flying type.
Why does it have to be a water type? GameFreak literally just realized that a Pokemon living in the water doesn't mean it has to be a Water-type. Make it Fire with something else. There are already way too many Water-type.

besides the best sharkmon isn't even water type

disappointed these guys aren't the mascots
Fenrir is used to getting the short end of the stick, what with being tied up until Ragnarok before getting killed by Vidar.
I wouldn't think so. He doesn't really have chthonic aspects other than his familiar relations. I mean, he could be, but there's nothing in his mythology that points in that direction. Houndoom doesn't have a ground type despite being a literal hellhound.
For me Ice just seems obvious. I see Ice/Dark or Dark/Ice as an interesting typing. He's from Norse mythology, from cold Northern Europe. He is the father of Sköll and Hati, the two wolves that chase the sun and the moon to try and consume them. Wolves are associated with the moon, and with snow and ice and cold. The January full moon is even called the Wolf Moon in American folklore. The sun is usually associated with fire which makes ice a logical counterpart for the moon. And some have suggested Fire/Fairy for the Sun mascot, for which Ice/Dark would be an interesting opposite. And there's no Ice/Dark Pokémon either.

A sun Lion sounds cool but i want to see the starters already. Espeon (Sun) and Umbreon (Moon) would be sooo good as starters for this gen. Or an Eevee that you get early on and can only evolve to either of these depending on which version you have.

Weavile would like to have a word with you.
And I mentioned Ground because of the shit like killing Tyr, and he isn't really an "ice wolf". Dark perhaps but not Ice. And associating wolves with ice or snow feels wonky.
*is wolf expert*
