I must admit, now that we've seen all or most of the Alolan forms, I'm quite disappointed.

The initial reveals of the Vulpix, Sandshrew and Cubone lines were cool, and Alolan Muk is amazing. But the rest I don't really like. Especially Dugtrio, Exeggutor and Persian which just seem to be actively trying to be as bizarre and weird as possible.
 
I'm still incredibly disappointed by the abundance of single-stagers. They're simply not as fun to train in my opinion, and even though their designs are fantastic it makes me weep for the loss of potential.

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.

We don't even know everything about the Alola forms so I don't get how you can say they are terrible in all aspects lol.

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

Yeah. I was down with them being these strange, alien like things that we just fought and acted as tough boss battles but being able to capture, nickname and use these abstract horrors just seems weird. Especially if they really are these various story important NPCs and not just things that look like them.

I see the dam has burst when I was asleep. I was expecting datamining to take a bit longer to be honest!

Dugtrio....hahaha, what the hell? Any particular thing that design is referencing? So weird.
Happy with the new Geodudes, and the goofy Persian evolution.
Didn't expect Wimpbug to evolve into such a badass monster.
That spider thing's shiny form is a straight up Metroid.
Digging the fighting/dragon's pink-yellow shiny form too. Not that I'll ever get one of those.

Are we not allowed to be let down that this gen doesn't provide what 5/6 before did?

I hope i never see people complain about any other droppes features like Battle Frontier then.

Yo Alolan forms are my favorite thing about Gen 7 together with UBs.
Best Gen ever for me for sure, and I haven't even played it

But well since Marshadow's evo isn't included... What's the next mainline game gonna be?
 
For my team I think I'll do:

Litten
Electric Oricorio
Crabrawler
Pallosand
Oranguru
Alola Exeggutor

Will probably replace Oricorio for that Sea cucumber thing depending on what it's type is, too:

So you get to complain about Alola forms and say people have bad taste for liking them while also telling people they can't complain about the number of Pokemon?

Lol
 
Alola forms are also a massive disappointement even more than the new Pokemons (which are really cool looking for the most part), most of the time they are just a color swap with two or three things changed. Raichu and Exeggcutor are the only one that seems like really interesting design-wise. Not to mention it's a gen 1 only feature

Regarding Alolan forms, it seems weird that some reputable leaks describe there being more Alolan forms than seem to actually be in the game? The leaks even got stuff like the Geodude and Diglet lines correct. That's not something you really "guess"

I wish we had more mons too but I'm not sure why you brought up gen 6 since that had only 71 new Pokemon.
 
Since they went so far in scrubbing moves, level up tables, locations, encounter tables etc why would they leave the Pokemon preview images in?

But maybe their strategy against leaks was to everything prior to launch in which case it would not have mattered.

Seems weird that Cosplay Pikachu is dropped into the abyss but here's Pikachu wearing Pokemon trainer hats.

No. Pikachu wearing Ash's hats.

It'll likely be a distribution to coincide with the anime's 20th anniversary in April

There are some really good shiny Pokemon this gen. The volcanic ash sand castles stand out.

That and Fire/Flying Oricorio's shiny immediately caught my attention. Just stunning choice of colors for those two.

Anyway, look at those models I know I want that goddamn bubble crab on my team. It looks cool as hell.
 
We're getting another trailer on the 27th. We'll probably get at least 5 of them revealed in that.

Yeah as i said they probably reveal all of them before launch.

Would be cool if they suddenly reveal one that wasn't in this leak. Surprise surprise mofos!

A man can dream.

Good point, forgot about murowak and raichu.

Seems odd that certain entire lines get forms yet those three don't.

Especially when sticking a strand of hair on a Digglett can be a new Form yet Cubone gets nothing. I understand it with Pikachu though, can't mess with that iconic mascot design unless you just stick hats on it or dress it up in suits that can be sold as plushies.

Yeah.

It seems weird that they're content with just completely ruining the sense fo adventure by showing off most/all of the Pokemon pre-release.
 
The only letdown for me is some of the single-stage Pokémon, yeah.

If I could evolve Komala, Comfey or Mimikyu, I'd have been extremely happy.

No old Pokemon got any evolutions huh. Oh well.

I think the time may have come to give up on this one, Eevee aside. It's plainly not something Game Freak wants to do any more- it's been over a decade since they last did it.

Yeah pikachu makes sense. But you're right, fucking diglet lol. If you can call that a different form, stick a strand of hair on the others and call it a day too!

I thought that UB01 would be like the base of all UBs and the one that appears in the Lusamine scene took a form inspired by her, but that seems wrong; just what does the 02 signify. :/

Pikachu made sense to me because he's iconic. People would gripe if vintage Pikachu wasn't in the game.

Cubone and Exeggcute not having Alolan forms while their evolutions do baffles me.
