Topic: Pokémon Sun & Moon - Discussion & Speculation

Trying so hard not to watch the video... From now on I will go by thumbnails alone D:

They actually nerfed parental bond's damage to 25% on second hit instead of 50% on second hit.

I remember them saying they didn't intend on mega kang to be that powerful, but I'm so glad they nerfed it so mega kang isn't the only VGC mon.

Good, they need to do that more often. Still don't understand why they nerfed moves like Hydro Pump, when there are clearly bigger issues that could've used a reduction in power a lot more to balance the game.

I won't spoil anything for those who don't wish to watch the trailers in order to have that kind 'fresh view' of the game when it releases, but the new Pokemon look brilliant. I'm loving the design choices they've made this generation, and I feel like they're a real step up from Gen 5 and Gen 6, the only two generations where I don't believe I'd be able to match all the names of the Pokemon with the designs. I'm also loving the new Gen 1 Pokemon. I'm trying to vague since I'm not sure how spoiler-free this place is supposed to be.

Love Alolan Muk's design. Wasn't expecting Cutiefly and Bounsweet's evolutions though. They look cool. Tsareena is gonna make XYZ fans upset though - they'll wish Serena was going to Alola just for that Pokemon.

Nice to see that the second hit on Parental Bond has been reduced to 25%. Tackle's BP has also been nerfed from 50 to 40.

Also, Silvally's ability is called RKS System. RKS is a nice reference to Arceus.

Was hoping to see if there was a way to get the original Pokemon somehow....TwT
Maybe it'll be via a Safari or something.

@Joeynator3000 They will always be alolan if you find or catch them in sun and moon.

You can only get previous forms through transfer from RBY or when pokebank updates to allow gen 6 transfer.

Yup, the original versions will only be available through transferring from RBY or XY/ORAS (or trading with someone who has done so).

.....And you heard this where? >_>

I don't fully like the not Lilligant.

Something about its blatant sexy boots, made for walking.

Anyway, Alola Grimmer looks even cuter in motion. Multicolor muk is also nice.

Looks even more humanoid than Roserade and Lilligant. It's a weird evolution line, I expected more of a Vileplume kind of thing as an evolution.

i like them and it makes me so excited for this games. I'm just going to look at anymore Pokemon info until the game comes out from here on out.

Alolan Muk tho.

So Kommo-o gets an exclusive move that'll be completely useless. It seems pretty obvious that it's a physical attacker, yet "clanging scales" seems to be a special move. Why would you do this Gamefreak? What's the point of making a move if almost no one will use it?

Could still be physical. Earthquake and psycho cut look like they'd be special attacks.

Wonder if there will be a Dragon/Bug type. Bug is now the only type that Dragon hasn't been paired with yet.

@MarcelRguez maybe Mega Yanmega?

@MarcelRguez Agreed.

@Tsurii Dragalge.

@MarcelRguez Problem is, Bug/Dragon for a dragonfly makes only sense in English. It's a pretty ''English'' thing to associate that insect with ''dragons'' because of its name, the rest of the world doesn't do that.

I'm still hoping for that dolphin Pokemon, Game Freak... Unless you already revealed the whole Alola Pokédex.

It also occurred to me we don't really have a proper chicken/rooster Pokemon (Combusken and Blaziken are the closest things I think)
