Even if it's Fire/Fighting, it might be in terms of design the best Fire/Fighting

And I say this as someone for whom Blaziken was an OG childhood favorite pokemon

So the red/gold magearea is a form, not the shiny? Interesting.

Love the monochrome Mimikyu shiny and the original colours Muk shiny.

The 4 guardians have great looking shinies too

I can't wait to start breeding and battling with some of these Pokemon online.

I really think it's going to be fire/dark.
 
I wonder if the yeti crab is Fighting/Ice. Please GF, you can't make a new gen without a single new ice type.

I know you have your own standards over what constitutes a new Pokémon, but this is very obviously not true. There are four new ice types on the docket that never existed prior to this generation, even if Crabrawler's evo isn't Fighting/Ice.

Wait, Ultra Beasts aren't catchable, right? Please tell me they're not catchable.

They certainly seem to be catchable- they have Battle Preview images and shinies.

I'm feeling very mixed about the whole thing. I think they ruined a lot of great designs by giving them evolutions (Crabrawler -> That thing, Litten -> Tony the Tiger), and I'm really not a fan of the Ultra Beasts. I am a big fan of Mega Evolutions, but Alolan forms got stale really fast and are an obvious attempt at appealing to Gen 1 fans.

The games will probably be great, but from a Pokémon standpoint I'm fairly underwhelmed.

These designs are awesome, Wimpod is even better than I had imagined, a bit gross maybe but it a good way :p
And Rowlet3's model looks great too

Now if I manage not to spoil myself for 5 days when the game comes out in NA and JP we're set.

Also thankfully we were right saying UBs are catchable.
 
Ah, not sure how to feel about these.

There are a lot of designs I really like but there are a number I don't like either. Overall it's not as solid as gen 6, which for me remains the gen with my favorite designs.

I don't mind the low number of new Pokemon, but I wish there weren't so many single stage mons. Some of them feel like they could really use additional stages... like Komala :( Hopefully the single stage mons at least have decent stats.

I think overall this gen feels crazy in a good way. UBs in particular. They look like Personas or something.

Not participating and trying to stay spoiler-free but if anyone would be willing to PM me the following: the starter's typings, if the leaked designs are 100% the final designs, the Alola Formes, and the number of new Pokemon. Thank you!
 
Now with the leaks I'll make another list for my team.

First few gyms:
Rowlet and Dartrix
Pikipek and evo
Crabawler
Cutiefly
Alolan Vulpix
Salandit

Final Team

Rowlet's final evo
Toucan
Hypno
Salandit's evo
Wimpod's evo
Mimikyu (nicknamed Pikaboo)

Post Game
Rowlet's final evo
Hypno
Mimikyu
Ash-Greninja
Ultra Beast 01 Beauty
Alolan Ninetails
 
Didn't know the total was with Alolan forms. That's utter trash. This is one of those real shitty hype-killing moments :/

You couldn't manage even 100 new Pokémon? I guess this gen will be fun for me for a little bit anyway...

Just skip it, you'll have more fun with the next gen combined!
 
Honestly after looking at all the new pokes Oranguru is still definitely my favorite of the bunch.

Overall though, gotta say I'm not liking these designs as nearly as much as X and Y's:

Catchable and they have shiny forms.

They have battle preview sprites. You can catch them.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT POKÉMON IS ANYMORE

EDIT: Are battle preview sprites indication of anything, given how SM's battle screen is laid out? And Shiny sprites aren't necessarily a confirmation either.

Yes, I'm grasping at straws. I'm desperate!

So many awesome designs. I can't even decide between grass and fire starters. And that shiny orange geodude omg

That new Persian is fucking horrendous. Yet another nail to the coffin.

I can't believe there's people that actually defend Alola forms. They're all fucking terrible in all aspects. So many people with bad taste.

And lmao at the people complaining that they didn't reach 100 Pokémon. Talk about fucking entitlement.

Not when Alolan Ninetails, Exeggutor and Marowak exist.

I really hate the Ultra Beasts. They're way too over the top and doesn't fit in at all. I was hoping they'd just be for some sort of boss battles

What, the Alolan Raichu, Vulpix and Sandshrew lines are great! There are a lot of duds too, though
