Pokémon Sun and Moon

jangmo-o is also cute

 

[Crackin355]

oh look, they finally showed the actual villain team.

and that makes three characters with long blonde hair and green eyes

Tinfoil hat time.

Type: Null is a failed Arceus clone created by the Aether Foundation, who are evil. This thing is a normal type, looks artificial, and has something similar to Arceus' ring.

Spoiler: UB-01

so cute

 

[Tyrell Badd]

Hmm, gee, I wonder what Lillie's secret could be and I wonder if she's related to the president of that company in any way...

HMM.....

Type: Null looks great, but I hate the name.

edit: Well, the Pokemon site has this:

UB-01’s body is composed of a glass-like substance. However, it’s constantly changing shapes, never settling on one.

While evidence of something like a survival instinct can be observed in UB-01, no one knows whether it has a will of its own or any emotions. It’s said that, for some reason, its movements resemble those of a young girl.

 

[GalacticPetey]

My theory is that Lillie, and the two other characters with that style of blonde hair and green eyes are either disguised Ultra Beasts, or some kind of alternate universe counterpart.

As for Type: Null, it's a failed chimera of some sorts. It seems like an attempt at creating another Arceus. For reason far too in-depth to talk about, Type: Null is likely a combination of Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, and Rockruff. In addition to taking design elements from all three, there's a lot of stuff regarding alchemic symbols that those four represent and them being the necessary elements to create Azoth, (a term that has been showing up in the past few games). Azoth implies a connection to God (Arceus).

If you have a couple hours to kill, these videos go super in-depth behind all the alchemy references we've been getting. Is this whole thing a massive stretch? Most likely. Still fun stuff.

Type: Null totally reminds me of chimeras from Mother 3 (play this game dammit) and I am completely on board with that. And yeah, I definitely got an Arceus vibe from it.

If it can be caught or obtained early enough in the game, it's going on my team for sure and I almost never use normal types aside from obligatory early game normal bird Pokemon.

Rather than doublepost, I'll just edit this post.

Alolan form Professor Oak confirmed Professor Oak's cousin appears in this game. The resemblance is uncanny...

CoroCoro!

Spoiler

-Rockruff has a split evolution depending on whether it evolves during the day or night. Earlier we heard that it shares an evolution secret with the starters. Perhaps the starters also have split evolutions.
-Those Ultra Beasts spare a striking resemblance to the two other characters with green eyes and that style of blonde hair. Definitely a connection.
-More info on Type: Null next issue.

Not really feeling either of Rockruff's evolutions, tbh.

 

[Nysic]

i love both of the dogs

 

[Master Crash]

Not really feeling either of Rockruff's evolutions, tbh.

its too deviantart oc for my taste

 

[GalacticPetey]

The day one looks okay. Don't really like the night one.

 

[Crackin355]

I like the day dog.

The night form is very "Rocky the Hedgehog Weredog" territory.

 

[Crackin355]

UB02 Beauty is completely not threatening compared to the swole mosquito. I mean they both look like bugs but one of them looks like you could step on it and it'd break.

 

[Nysic]

am i the only one who thinks of this

 

[Weasel]

let's check on the buff stuff thread

 

[Occasionally Returns]

These UBs seem like interesting. Nothing like I've ever seen in a Pokemon game

 

[EctoBiologist]

Theory: The UBS are actually jojo stands and ash will get the mosquito dude as his stand.

 

[Occasionally Returns]

Speaking of Ash, just what the freak is his design for the Sun and Moon series?

 

[Weasel]

yo eevee's move is the hypest shit

Also psychic orangutan is cool and I'm using it.

 

[Cirdec]

So it confirms there is no new eeveelution :D

 

[Princess Céline]

So it confirms there is no new eeveelution :D

Aww, really? I wanted a Poison or Ghost type one.

 

[Afterstormer]

It's sad that I want moon but I like Lycanroc's midday form better than the midnight one.

Still, Oranguru's mah BOI!

EDIT: What happens if Passimian is in a triple battle and both of its teammates get KO'ed? What ability does it get?

 

[Tyrell Badd]

Both primates look great and both Lycanrocs still look meh. Glad the customization and Pokemon Amie replacement seem to be expanded.

Eevee and Pikachu exclusive Z-moves are unsurprising considering how popular they are. Waiting for for the Charizard exclusive Z-move to complete the trifecta of overrated-ness.
