Title: may 10th announcement speculation station
Post by: lets all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes on May 08, 2016, 03:42

ok so may 10th there will apparently be Actual News about the new pokemon games and i couldn't find a Sun/Moon speculation thread so this can act as a surrogate. if the announcement turns out to be a disappointment then you can idk, beat me up on the forum or something



cos im a giant loser i regularly check That Site almost every other day and am really excited about New Pokemon Plot cos ive tried but i can't Get Over pokemon. sigh

i luv zygarde and they're hyping him up a lot lately and i do wonder if its the box legendary for sun/moon? either that or Z is gonna be released after sun/moon idk.

i say this cos (finally i can spoiler this huzzah)

Spoiler: show

there is a weird Form of attack that zygarde uses in the 50% zygarde .vs. alain's mega-charizard that we aint seen. i could be wrong cos i just follow the anime for Juicy Zygarde Hints and overreact to everything but in one bit 50% zygarde shoots a beam,  everyone goes flying, then this (http://imgur.com/jD3FjP6) happens. weird three headed dragon snake thing? zygarde 75% forme teaser?

then it all goes Dramatic Silent.

also on a side note who is betting we will get Trainer Resembling Formes of starters or w/e a la Ash-Greninja?

companies like game freak sometimes drop Weird Hints so it'll probably be nothing and im usually a bit of a cassandra a lot of the time. but im mostly posting this now and not later so if the box art is revealed and it looks like that three head dragon thing then i can be Smug i guess.




anyway speculate away and if its past the 10th voice your disappointment at how disappointing it was.

I hope they don't do Zygarde dirty and if they're not going to give us a Z version then have Zygarde be involved in Sun/Moon somehow because I need Zygarde Perfect in my life. Especially now it's featured in that new movie alongside Magearna which is almost certainly the first Gen 7 mon.

starters don't look that great but hopefully their evolutions are cool, i'll probably pick Grass because I always pick Grass (except Gen 2).

box legendaries are alright as well I reckon.

I'm going to pick the fire starter because Litten's facial expression accurately summarize how I feel about the new starters.

Team Rowlet here, such an adorable little owl <3

As for the cover legendaries, it has to be Team Moon.

I'm definitely a fan of the Sun legendary,looks like Pyroar went super Saiyan.

I usually pick water, but Litten looks pretty adorable. Then again, I was with Fennekin right up until Greninja was revealed, so we'll see.

Not a huge fan of the legendaries, but I think I'll go with moon.

this is the first good grass starter since chikorita

for the graphics, though - i do like them and all, but they're pretty much the cutscene sprites edited a lil and maybe used some ORAS things. if we get outfit customisation and personal customisation i wont mind too much, though.

i like all of the starters this time, but my least favourite is the seal one. something irks me about it but im not sure why as i love the idea of a seal... the nose, probably? i think it would have looked better without the pink nose.

i love the grass and owl one, so i'll choose between them based on the final evolution. Rowlet Litten <3

the only problem i see with the ames of those two starters?

Rowlet = Rufflet.
Litten = Litleo.

I think nintendo's out of name ideas guys :/ owelltheytried

(i'll probably go for rowlet lets be real though... grass/flying is babe)

EDIT: Note that Rowlet's going to be weak to fire, ice(x4), poison, rock, and possibly even weak to one of it's own types, flying, if it's not resistant to it. that's more than the other two starters, at least at first stage. Plan accordingly. ESPECIALLY for that ice type coverage. Rowlet gets x4 from that.

I am all about Popplio. The others are really cute too and I might have to wait until I see the final evolutions before I decide but at the moment I need me that sealion. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think Popplio's final evo will be Water/Fairy with some kind of circusy theme going on but I maybe way off.

Also Sun's legendary is waaaaaaaaay cooler than Moon's, whatever it's meant to be.

Hyped for this!

Popplio is the one i'm going with but I like all three of the starters. Fellow Pops users may want to pack ice beam.

i'm getting thug kitten (Litten), and this comes out a day after my 24th birthday.  In the US at least.

I want Rowlet. I've been wanting another owl based Pokemon for years plus it's the first starter you get that's a dual type since Bulbasaur.

i joke but MAN i was not expecting the reveal. i remember seeing the Hints that it'd be Hawaii type island place but i didn't actually believe that haha. i think i will be getting Moon cos i am a shameless ex-goth and sun hater (im about This close to having to get funny coloured glasses to be able to not die when i go outside)

only starter i care about is the fire cat BUT i hope they don't gimp the final evolutions so they can push Samurott 2.0 as the Popular One this time that gets to go in Smash and gets to go about the place with ash and gets an alternate form etc etc. cos i am still mad about them largely ignoring the Might n Power n Wisdom of Delphox for the cool epicery broheim bloke ninja zombie bacon Greninja. aaaaaaaaaaaaa

i am glad u can Customise ur character (apparently) tho cos i hated that it was missing in ORAS. wonder what theyre gonna do for the Story and whether the legendaries will be in the upcoming Movie?????????? they'll probably be in the next one

Spoiler: show

dunno if the Trademarks that were filed a while ago mean anything but its possible the lion is Solgaleo and the bat thing is Lunaala????

have to say with all the hyping up they did of zygarde i do worry its basically gonna be Genesect again and they're gonna go "a movie i guess. the end. thats it. no more zygarde". i hope they release pokemon Z as a kind of Interim between Sun/Moon and, idk, whatever comes next in gen VII, Pokemon Dusk n Dawn?????? i want my playable zygarde perfect form dangit

i hope they add more customisation to the game. unpopular opinion but i dont feel like there was enough. handful of outfits, 3-4 hair colours and what feels like 2 hairstyles. it was a nice start though

more sensible clothes for the lady character and Magicians Quest (and much much later, animal crossing) crossdressing/cross-styles too because i was sick of "look at my slim belly" "look how short these shorts are, no short shorts/jockstrap for the blokes tho" "look at this hideous dress. they're 90% hideous dresses" stuff

the green shirt/purple vest and black/white hat w a flower was the only bearable outfit in X/Y




also hopefully some Curly hairstyles in the hairdressers dept cos i didnt wanna go all Tumblr on it but you can have black skin but still only white hair and heres not the time or place but ughhhhhhh will Relaxer Culture ever go away

I've that sneaking suspicion that the Legendary in Moon is going to be Dark/Flying, and the mascot for Sun is going to be a new Light type to counter Dark (because GF has put that off for almost two decades).

Title: Re: may 10th announcement speculation station
Post by: lets all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes on May 11, 2016, 18:45

bat thing will be fairy/dark cos its lookin a bit Flamboyant and Smug that way fairy types do and liondude will be fire/fighting

Quote from: DisturbedHaxorus on May 11, 2016, 17:07

fairy already exists tho??????

Title: Re: may 10th announcement speculation station
Post by: Meowstic Royalty on May 11, 2016, 20:10

I think after last generation and the introduction of Fairy types to add to the other seventeen, it'll be a while before GF adds another, if they ever do. And Dark already has three weaknesses, fighting, bug and the new fairies. Another type, which many Pokémon can fit quite well, would probably leave it outclassed without buffs to balance it out.

Also, I have a feeling the new Moon legendary is gonna be Dark/Fairy. Dark honestly just fits the best because of the whole moon night sky wings thing. While Flying would fit as a secondary type, they already had Yveltal last gen and I doubt they'd repeat it. Rather the secondary type would be fairy, after all moves like Moonlight and Moonblast are all fairy type and would receive STAB too.

I think Zygarde and its Forms will play a secondary but also important role in the games like the Beasts did in GS/HGSS or Groudon and Kyogre in Emerald. It will be part of the story but it isn't the main legendary. It makes sense because messing with the sun or moon will cause massive disruption to the ecosystem and Zygarde is basically a protector of the ecosystem. I bet this is how the Forms will come into play. Evil team messes with the box legendary and cause a huge ecosystem disaster and 10% Zygarde appears and summons every one of its cells on the planet to become 100% and it halts the disaster for a bit while you either battle the team's Leader or catch the main legendary and somehow calm it down or something. Once that has been done, Zygarde will change Forms and go underground. This is my prediction to the evil team/legendary conflict.
