Discussion How Many New Pokémon Do You Think Will be in Sun & Moon?

42. Fossil #1- Rock/??? (possibly Rock/Normal, Rock/Electric, Rock/Poison, or Rock/Ghost)
43. Fossil #1's evolution- Rock/??? (possibly Rock/Normal, Rock/Electric, Rock/Poison, or Rock/Ghost)
44. Fossil #2- Rock/??? (possibly Rock/Normal, Rock/Electric, Rock/Poison, or Rock/Ghost)
45. Fossil #2's evolution- Rock/??? (possibly Rock/Normal, Rock/Electric, Rock/Poison, or Rock/Ghost)

the fossil-business has gotten really stale in my view.. it's 2 fossils with 2 stages every time since... gen3, and gen2 only didn't have any because it was essentially gen1-part2, and gen1 also had a third 1-stage fossil.

I want ANY CHANGE to the fossil formula please.
Like, change in number:
-only 1 fossil rather than 2
-a group of 3 fossils that you choose between like starters!
Change in number of stages:
-1 stage like Aerodactyl obviously, starting strong off the bat
-3 stages fossil, since we don't have one so far at all (or heck, make a oseudo-legendary be a fossil as well)

or make it 2 fossils, but not counerpart, one being a single-stage or a weaker fossil you get early in the game, and the other being a 3 stage with the highest stats of a fossil Pokémon so far (well ignoring Archeops' special stat distribution that makes up for it ability).. don't get me wrong, they've all been interesting so far design-wise and fitting as pairs, but I'd love some changes like these to spice it up.

I'm one of those people who thinks the way of how Alolan forms are in their own way new Pokémon, so I'll say there are 67 revealed Pokémon so far, 3 Ultra Beasts, making the total at exactly 70. My bet is still around 90-110 Pokémon this generation, and it probably won't change.
 
I really hope it's more than we got in XY, but after the TCG report, I'm starting loose hope):

Yeah, me two. These Alolan forms are going to work very different from there original forms, and look pretty great too so counting them as new Pokemon seems legit!

Still hoping to see some more ''completely new Pokemon'' though, because the game is only 1 month away.. Would like to see some more surprises like the already mentioned 3 stage fossils or.. anything. A badass Dolphin Pokemon is still missing too. This is an island generation right..? More Water types please!
 
Apparently someone who "leaked" Silvally's name ("silvsomething") mentioned there are 80 new Pokémon. Would be rather disappointing, but it does seem as if Gamefreak is slowing down on new dex numbers in favor of forms (Mega Evolutions, Alola forms, Oricorio/Lycanroc). My guess is they want to wait until Gen X to hit 1000.
 
The 1000th Pokémon will be called Ruasablub

Only one month until the games are released. They may not even surpass the number of Pokémon introduced in XY, I doubt it. And I'll probably get a little annoyed if people say ''but we have all these Alolan Pokémon''
 
Just 30 more official reveals and we'll reach 800 pokemon. Come on GameFreak!

30? I only count 26... 21 if you count the unrevealed starter final forms and Pikipek's confirmed double evolutions... or wait, no, 20 if you count the recently leaked mystery Pokemon.

At this rate I'm totally expecting them to hit 800 this generation... so, I guess I'm betting at least 20 more have yet to be revealed.

You might want to double check your list there...

You go from 52. with Kommo-o to 49. with Type: Null. Also, you misspelled Salandit.

If my sources are correct, (and my counting skills as well), it's 84 new Pokemon, including Ultra Beasts.. To me it seems the Ultra Beasts are actual Pokemon, but perhaps not, in which case the number would be somewhat lower. Still a lot better then Gen 6 though!
 
After datamine demo leak . So chinese leak is correct . They said "more than XY but not by much of New Pokemon" . We can't reach 100 new Pokemon again . Not to say we don't get any Fossil Pokemon .
 
Isn't the datamine incomplete as of now like not every sprite is in the demo but they could still exist. I think they're looking at it reaching 800 total but we dont know the specifics? I'm not sure how datamining works exactly.

Well, the consensus seems to be that this is really it (84). There is already a list of all new mons and I think by knowing the dex numbers of the legendaries from this gen they know that nothing would come after it (except more legendaries possibly, but that would be weird in a small gen), so I guess it's safe to say that those Chinese leaks were indeed correct. More then XY but less than the big gens.

There's 81 (if I can count) revealed from the datamine according to this so what's missing?
