I like grubbin, but the real GOAT in baby insect/arachnide is JOLTIK.

JOLTIK, JOLTIK, JOLTIK.

well you can't top perfection

Knew stone dog would not be that early.

they never reveal them in Coro Coro after starters

I remember we saw Bunnelby quite around the middle of the year, around the same time as Dedenne

 

[Malakai]

Even Talonflame?

I'd say Unfezant has the best name and worst everything else, Talonflame has the best everything else and worst name, and Staraptor is a nice in between.


Scolipede was legit good

Is everyone forgetting that Staraptor have an Attack of 120 and learns Close Combat? And the speed of 100. This is from the early regional bird Pokémon?

 

[bizzarewars]

I like all these new Pokemon, but the gold medal goes to the homie Yung Goos, tho.

 

[ffdgh]

...That was fast

Talonflame laughs at that though

 

[Already Torn]

Yungoose amuses me greatly.

Also it's apparently not originally from Alola.

I want to see the birth certificate!

Talonflame's non-competitive use is being denmother. Also it has a respectable spatk.

Mhmm. Fly + Flame Body for days.

Speed matters not to one who transcends the speed stat.

 

[Kyzer]

I think I figured out what yungoose is based on and will look like in its final form

 

[Kyzer]

...That was fast

DAMNIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME

that should tell you something about how much it resembles him lol

 

[Sou Da]

Looks like every trainer does appear in the background now.

 

[Aters]

...That was fast

Pokemon has deep lore.

 

[Visceir]

Emmitt Otterton?

 

[Kyzer]

yungoose is always hungry

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why is no one talking about Yungoos's potential?

Stakeout ability = double damage to mons who switched in a middle of a fight.

Combine that with Pursuit, and judging by Yungoo's shenanigans of a possible Dark type = murderer

Cannot unsee

 

[.JayZii]

Their designs this gen have all been on point.

 

[parasight]

Haha. In Tagalog pekpek means vagina. Guess I'll just name my bird, "vagina" to avoid confusion.

 

[Falchion]

Pikipek looks cool, I always have a bird in my main crew ever since my Pidgot wrecked the Elite 4.

 

[Kinokou]

Oh yes!

There is a different hat for the FMC! I'll not jump ship and play as a boy then!

Yungoose fulfills my need to have another pokemon to go along with Furret and Linoone <3 Hope the evo still fits in.

But what is up with so many brown/tan/beige pokemon this gen?

And the new battle mode seems great.

 

[Garuroh]

They are okay. I'm waiting for more interesting Pokemon than your typical early route shitmon.

 

[Red]

Pikipek is cool. Yungoos is the worst.

 

[CommandThrower]

Why is no one talking about Yungoos's potential?

Stakeout ability = double damage to mons who switched in a middle of a fight.

WHAT?! Oh my goodness, that's so good!

I can only wonder how many other Pokemon are going to get that ability, because that ability is CRAZY.

 

[MulderYuffie]

nice new additions grubbin looks the best.

 

[Roufianos]

Love the bird.

No surprise that the generation rodent is ugly as sin.

 

[Busaiku]

I mean, I doubt the Yungoos line will have the stats to back it up.

 

[Already Torn]

Yungoos will use Stakeout to keep the Mexican criminals from swapping into our country.

 

[R0ckman]

Does anyone who has any kind of insight fill me in on how likely it is players will drop a game from frustration in difficulty over boredom from lack of challange?

I wonder if they do this now since younger fans have those pesky mobile games they can run to if Pokemon was a bit too hard for them. So with simpler challenge (though they can add two different modes) kids will more likely stick around.

 

[clemenx]

That ability is so gooooooooooood.

I adore how angry it is. The little bird is cool as well. Skill link fury attack!

 

[Malakai]

I want to see the birth certificate!

Yeah, and Talonflame is OHKO from a Rock Throw ...

 

[Azuran]

It's obvious at this point GF hates constant switching.

Doesn't it say double damage to pokemon switching in rather than switching at all? Pursuit would happen before the switch to the pokemon that is leaving, so Stakeout damage wouldn't apply to it unfortunately. It's still a super cool ability that I hope makes its way to a pokemon that can use it well.

 

[Already Torn]

The rock that never gets the chance to be thrown can do no damage.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The designs of the three new mons are great. The mongoose is hilarious!

 

[MogCakes]

I'm a fan of Swellow and Pidgeot. Both at their best with special sets.

It's still a super cool ability that I hope makes its way to a pokemon that can use it well.

Dark type + stakeout + knockoff + life orb/choice band ayyyy

 

[Dragoshi1]

...That was fast

Aw. Beaten. I did this and had to find a scanner. Oh well, still gonna post mine.

I LOVE Yungoos. I hope it evolves into something with a lot more teeth.

 

[MasterMongoose]

Yungoos = Mongoose!?

SO happy.

Although Linoone was sort of a mongoose already I thought. But the more, the merrier

 

[R0ckman]

Wrong thread opened, ignore this.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I wasn't the only one who thought this...

that's why I said in the middle of a fight

 

[Spiritreaver]

Never thought the day would come where I actually wanted the early game bird Pokemon.

 

[-Horizon-]

Praise the radiant sun!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Could've sworn I've seen Pikipek a while ago. It looks so familiar.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Why hello there Eevee are you going to show us a new evolution for us?

Interestingly, it was also confirmed Masuda has passed the Director's torch to Ohmori. Previously, Ohmori had a major managing role in XY and directed ORAS. As a reminder, Tajiri directed RGB and GS, and Masuda RS, DP, BW and XY. This is the first time anyone other than those two directs a new-generation game.

If Masuda is stepping down from the director role then X and Y was a pretty lame way go.

Come on man even Pidove is better than Starly

...That was fast

Ha ha and best part it's accurate.

It's obvious at this point GF hates constant switching.

After playing Pokémon Stadium 2 yesterday so do I. ¬_¬;

Could've sworn I've seen Pikipek a while ago. It looks so familiar.

It was the wire frame model shown waaay back in the Nintendo direct in February.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Why you ignoring that strange pokemon next to it. It sort of looks like the Klink line.

It was the wire frame model shown waaay back in the Nintendo direct in February.

Okay. I think I even seen it colored before.

 

[Siege.exe]

that's why I said in the middle of a fight

Ohhhhh I think I get what you're saying now, switching being unpredictably dangerous for both the pokemon coming in and the pokemon going out?

 

[Mr-Joker]

Why you ignoring that strange pokemon next to it. It sort of looks like the Klink line.

Because that Pokémon is Magearna a gen 7 event Pokémon unrelated to the Klink line.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Honey badger! I expect a nasty ATK stat.

One of the other formerly "physical" types, hopefully.

 

[SuperSah]

Battle Royale will run at like 5fps on that appalling engine.

The games can barely just handle 1v1 battles at times and chugs like a bitch when more than that occurs. I wonder how this Battle Royale mode will run.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ohhhhh I think I get what you're saying now, switching being unpredictably dangerous for both the pokemon coming in and the pokemon going out?

the pokemon coming in yeah

honestly makes you wish Yungoos has Roar or Whirlwind or anything that forces a switch lol

do mustelids make roars? not cute roars of course, those don't count

 

[javadoze]

As a reminder, Tajiri directed RGB and GS, and Masuda RS, DP, BW and XY. This is the first time anyone other than those two directs a new-generation game.

Hmm... Don't know how I feel about this...

On one hand, Ohmori did ORAS and that was a game I'm very love/hate on (though I suppose I can't blame him on a game that was only like >2 years in development).

On the other hand, Masuda directed his fair share of pretty "meh" pokemon games as well (DP and XY). So I'm interested to see what Ohmori brings to a new mainline entry. The new pokemon, the new changes to the battle system, and overall polish so far have been promising.
