Jangmo-o's evolutions don't look any better in game.

Alolan Muk and Grimer are both awful.

Bounsweet's evolutions suck. We already have Lurantis and Magearna, we didn't need any more waifu Pokemon this gen.

At least Sylvally is cool.
 
Wasn't too sure on Muk when I saw the artwork, but in battle seeing the colours shift as he fought looked really cool, well happy with that.
 
silvally.png


When Type: Null gains a partner it can trust, it deliberately destroys the restraining device it wears. Once released from that heavy mask, the Pokémon’s speed increases substantially. Freed of the restraining effects of its mask, Silvally’s senses are heightened, and it reverts to its natural temperament. It has a wild nature, but it will obey a Trainer that it trusts. And to protect that Trainer from danger, it will put its own life on the line. Silvally is said to have been created to oppose a threat...

By inserting exclusive items into the drive on Silvally’s head, its RKS System can be activated, causing Silvally’s somatic cells to mutate and glow. The RKS System enables it to change its type, and its cells glow with different colors of light, depending on its type.

Silvally’s Ability is called the RKS System Ability, which no previous Pokémon has ever had. By having Silvally hold items that correspond to each Pokémon type, it can change its own type. Multi-Attack is a move that only Silvally can learn, and this move’s type changes based on which type-related item Silvally is holding.

hakamo-o.png


When a Jangmo-o evolves into Hakamo-o, it breaks from its fellows and begins to live on its own to train itself. Wherever it can find Pokémon to battle against, it seems to appear.

Hakamo-o dances before battle to show its strength, clanging its scales together to make them ring out. When this dance reaches its climax, Hakamo-o bellows a fierce war cry to challenge its opponent.

Its scales make for fine armor, so Hakamo-o doesn’t worry about self-defense as it makes multitudes of strikes and overwhelms its opponents. But, as a result, its scales often become damaged and get torn off. They grow back immediately, so this does not cause Hakamo-o undue concern. In fact, it views the number of lost scales as proof of how ferociously it has fought, and it brandishes its bared arms in a boast of victory.

kommo-o.png


At the end of its harsh training, Hakamo-o evolves into this overwhelmingly powerful form. It returns to the land of its birth, where it watches over the Jangmo-o from a distance.

There is a legend that says Kommo-o is covered in glittering scales in order to drive away a great darkness covering the world. The reason these Pokémon seek out battle is to gain the power needed to defeat this darkness. When it detects someone approaching, this Pokémon rings the scales on its tail to announce its presence. It has no desire to battle against weak Pokémon.

Kommo-o’s greatest move is the uppercut. It swings its arm up from below in a punch of great skill and force, sending its foe flying into the sky. By raising its arms aloft, it can generate a force powerful enough to change the face of the surrounding landscape!

Clanging Scales is a move that only Kommo-o can learn. It scrapes the scales covering its body against one another, attacking with a great clamor. After using this move, Kommo-o’s Defense is lowered.

ribombee.png


Ribombee collect flower nectar and pollen to make into balls known as Pollen Puffs. These serve as food, and what’s more, they also can cause effects like paralysis or dizziness. Ribombee may use puffs to strike their opponents during battles. Some of the Pollen Puffs that Ribombee make also have relaxing effects or can relieve tiredness. These are distributed around the Alola region as high-priced supplements.

Ribombee hate getting rained on. They’re covered with fluffy hairs that hold the pollen they’ve gathered, and the rain makes them wet and dirty. Alolan people know that if Ribombee are busily visiting the fields of flowers, you can be sure that the fair weather will continue.

steenee.png


The calyx on Steenee's head is harder than Bounsweet’s, so Steenee no longer worries about being stabbed by other Pokémon. As Bounsweet, this Pokémon may have preferred to run away from others, but now Steenee and other Pokémon can play together.

Upon evolving, this Pokémon’s fragrance becomes even more delectable, but it also gains a tomboy-like personality. Living together with one is quite the ordeal. As it moves around, it spins its calyx, striking nearby objects, but Steenee couldn’t care less.

Steenee unleashes combo moves using the calyx on its head and its hard legs. First it smacks opponents with the calyx on its head, and when the opponent flinches, it lands a whacking great kick. That usually does the trick!

tsareena.png


Tsareena has the nature of high-class nobility. Any Pokémon or human that approaches it with evil in mind will be punished forthwith. It even turns its fearsome glare upon its own Trainer if the two of them are not fully in sync, or if its Trainer orders it to use a move that will be ineffective. Only the strongest of Steenee are able to evolve. When this happens, the Steenee evolves with the blessing of other Steenee. It then uses its strength to protect the Bounsweet.

Tsareena is a high-kicking virtuoso. It has honed these skills beyond the level it achieved as a Steenee, and it attacks with graceful movements. At the same time, its fragrance mesmerizes its opponents, dealing them a secondary attack. Trop Kick is a move that only Tsareena can learn. It lowers an opponent’s Attack by showering it with blazing hot kicks in a style similar to that originating from tropical countries. It’s said that this Pokémon loses its strength if touched on the crown-like protuberance on its head.

Some Tsareena have the Queenly Majesty Ability, which no other Pokémon has previously had. The effects of Queenly Majesty are so intimidating that it prevents opponents from using priority moves.

alolan-grimer.png


When the population of the Alola region increased, dealing with their garbage became a serious problem. As a solution, Grimer were imported from other regions. They fed primarily on garbage, so their body composition changed—as did their form. What appear to be teeth in this Pokémon’s mouth are in fact residual toxins from the garbage it eats, which have hardened and crystallized. No method has been discovered to break down these crystals. Direct contact with them presents a danger.

Alolan Grimer is always eating garbage, but its constant hunger will cause it to begin eating other manufactured objects if it runs out of garbage to feed on. There are more than a hundred Alolan Grimer in Alola’s garbage-processing plants, and all of the garbage produced in the Alola region is taken for use as their food.

alolan-muk.png


Alolan Muk eats whatever is in reach without pausing, and if it feels the sharp pangs of hunger, it runs amuck. It’s thought that its voracious appetite stems from an inability to maintain its energy levels without a constant influx of toxins. Toxins have accumulated in Alolan Muk’s body from its steady diet of various waste products and manufactured materials. This accumulation has brought about a chemical change, producing a new kind of toxin.

Alolan Muk has the same poisonous crystals as Alolan Grimer, but they’re not limited to its mouth—they extend from all over the surface of its body. Alolan Muk uses them to attack, just like other Pokémon use their fangs or claws. And these highly toxic crystals are easily knocked loose, making them extraordinarily dangerous!

The Grimer and Muk in the Alola region produce and store their toxins within their bodies. So, unlike the Grimer and Muk in other regions, you won’t detect any unpleasant aromas when you draw near one.

An expert in Normal-type Pokémon, Captain Ilima graduated from the Trainers’ School and is a hero to the students of that school.

Olivia is the kahuna of Akala Island, the second island you visit on your island challenge. Her skill is extraordinary, as can only be expected from someone chosen to serve as kahuna at such a young age. Yet she still insists that she is just a normal girl.
 
Surprised by Bounsweet's evolution line. I though Alolan Muk was pretty cool. Sylvalla looking great along with that leaked Evo. Gonna be hard to pronounce Jangmo-o's evolutions at first. Overall I enjoyed the trailer!

....well then....
 
Talonflame am cry. Another priority-stopping ability!
(Though Flare Blitz still works)

Still loving Kommo-o and Silvally. Incoming fanart of the Bounsweet evos. D:
 
The final evo of the dragon looks a lot better in motion

Type Null's evo looks cool too

They can fuck off with that rainbow coloured Muk though!
 
Jangmo-o's evolutions don't look any better in game.

Alolan Muk and Grimer are both awful.

Bounsweet's evolutions suck. We already have Lurantis and Magearna, we didn't need any more waifu Pokemon this gen.

At least Sylvally is cool.

Bad first post! Bad! *hits with newspaper*

Okay, I'll give you Grimer, but Muk looks awesome.
 
I mean the connection was already obvious... But "RKS" System is just weirdly blatant lol

Blatant to what? The acronym doesn't ring any bells.

Queenly majesty is literally the same as that ability the ugly fish has. I wish they stopped doing these pointless renames when there's nothing wrong with using the old ones.

But it's like the ability "dazzling"...

Like how almost each new Pokemon has a signature attack
 
Muk is based on the oil spill colors.

Also with Komm-o's description, yeah it definitely is a monk dragon. Warding off "darkness" with its scales definitely is your monk stuff.
 
I think I'll stick with the regular Muk because Alola Muk is ugly as sin. Like, they should just have put one color on Muk instead of having its colors constantly changing. At least Grimer looks fine.

The Bounsweet evolutions are uninspiring.

Jangmo-o's evolutions doesn't look better in motion.

The new characters look fine though, but overall, the content for this trailer was poor. Not a single Pokemon they showed here made me say: "I want to use this Pokemon." Disappointed.
 
But did they really need to announce both final form of jangmo and bounsweet ? I think it's really cool to at least keep the final form a secret
 
people who don't like Kommo-o are crazy. Thats going on my team.

Also, random but I remember a random vp "leak" saying that there was a new separate bag slot for stones, I dont think anyone even looked at it very hard. I dont remember what else they had written in that guess/leak.

pronounce RKS

sounds like the (mangled) pronounciation of Arceus ain't it?

Same with AR System
 
So with Alolan Rattata/Raticate and Alolan Grimer/Muk they just straight up gave them the regular Kanto version's hidden abilities and made them more common.
 
I might run with a Tsareena and name it "Jeanne" just for the fuck of it.

Kommo-o is still winning in my book, but that might be because I love Seregios for MH so much and it's moderately similar with the scales rattling together and all of that.
 
Gotta love what they did with Muk's colors, much better than Grimer, the new evolutions look great (was hoping for Grass/Fire combo though) and Kommo-o does indeed look way better in 3D. Gladion's Battle Theme has to be my favorite Battle Theme ever at this point, just wow. Also finally people won't still have doubts about Silvally's connection to RKS haha... I wonder what threat its description is referring to, possibly Ultra Beasts but would they really require an attempted replica of the Pokémon God to be stopped? Very intrigued so far
Nice new characters and all, the games can't come soon enough.

(Been a lurker for so long I totally forgot I can now post lol)

I love this edgy kid
It wasn't enough for the kid to pose like a JoJo character, he now has to have a Stand.

That said, the RKS System pretty blatantly connects Silvally to Arceus. A failed cloning attempt a-la Mewtwo, perhaps?
 
I love everything about this. Bounsweet evolution line is SICKENING. Alolan Muk... I can't believe they made Muk look that fresh! Jangmo-O line's in motion is so much better thn I expected!

Love it! LOVE, IT!

I even love the new trial captains and I normally don't care at all about anything other than the new pokemon.
