I hope if this election teaches us anything, it's that WE decide who has a chance or not. Trump didn't have a snowball's chance in hell, according to every prognostication. Sanders came out nowhere and got basically no support from the DNC, and he won 43% of the primary and 20 states, so he...

This is well put. A lot of people are in pain right now, and I understand being angry and afraid when someone who molested women and rallies hatred for various minorities, is legitimized as president. It's impossible for me to fully know that pain, because I'm in Canada now, and I'm white. So...

There's always some imbalance to these secondary triangle theories, because Grass/Fire/Water is the only true type triangle in the game. It's just like the Gen VI starters: Dark is actually immune to Psychic, but Psychic is not immune to Fighting, and Fighting is not immune to Dark. That's not...

I appreciate Incineroar and Decidueye a lot more knowing they're based on a famous Japanese professional wrestler (Tiger Mask) and an extinct owl that lived on the Hawaiian islands and hunted on foot (Grallistrix, or stilt-owls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stilt-owl). We can talk about...

I'm not thrilled about the ghost type for Decidueye, if only because I was already planning on using Mimikyu and maybe also Palossand on my team. Now I have to either cut 1-2 of those or pick Popplio or Litten as my starter, even though Rowlet is my favourite, unless I want to channel my inner...

I don't agree that Alolan forms being Gen-1 only (which was obvious since early on) makes them genwunner fanservice. For one, it's meant as an acknowledgement of the 20th anniversary, or so say the developers. But also, if anything they kind of... make fun of gen 1? Like there's a certain lack...

Gamestop is doing another 2-sided region poster like they had for XY and ORAS: I collect these and frame em 'cause I love fictional geography, and their painted style. I think they're supposed to be the bonus for preordering BOTH games, and your preorder doesn't actually lock you in because...

I think they're supposed to be magnets. The extra eyebrows/beards on the whole evolution line are supposed to be like iron filings, and the yellow spots hint that they're Rock/Electric type. I like the line overall, but the concept is a little similar to Probopass, which is also in the Alola dex.

Weren't the types for the final evos confirmed in a previous leak? I've thought of them as Fire/Dark and Water/Fairy for the longest time, but maybe that was just based on speculation and appearances alone.

I don't see why Komala was so widely expected to evolve. It's a koala; what was it going to become, a bigger koala? A kangaroo? I don't have a problem with single-stage lines in general, though I did have fun ideas for Mimikyu and Pyukumuku evos. Maybe cross-gen evos will finally return...

An NPC also mentioned a trainer named Kahili who's a golfing genius. She sounds like another trial captain for that area with the golf course, but I don't think any of these are Kahili, since they don't really look like golfers. The speculation I've seen on these 3 is that only the ghost girl...

Well this makes the same amount of sense as Lillie and Lusamine being world-destroying monsters.

I've seen speculation that they're based on rocks covered in seaweed or dropseed grass. Also with how their dirt looks more like rock now, it would be cool if they're pure Rock or Rock/Water or something, and the hair is a play on rock n' roll. Also

And here I was thinking about avoiding spoilers, when there wasn't that much to avoid as it turns out. It's not just that there are fewer than 100 new ones that bother me, it's that Oh well, I do like the quality if not the quantity. Hopefully the rest of the game is good.

The NX is widely rumoured to be a handheld that can dock and connect to a TV. I still don't know how much stock to put in the rumour of a main-series Pokemon game coming to NX in its first year, just because GF usually lags behind and sticks to consoles that still have a wide install base. But...

GameFreak might just be trolling us at this point. "People will be looking for new Alolan forms in this demo, what if we put like, wigs on a Dugtrio here?" But I can see it. Maybe it's a reference to beach kids who bury each others' bodies in the sand. Although I notice that Dugtrio's dirt...

I immediately thought of Pyukumuku too, but besides being spiny underwater things, they don't look anything alike. I still hope Pyukumuku gets a colourful evolution though. Also, I love her. I like this approach to more "girly" pokemon much more than say, Steenee and Tsareena.

This is pretty cool, and you should definitely take the opportunity to work and save some money before you decide on the next step. About school: don't feel like you have to go immediately, and that you have to get it right the first time. Right out of highschool I went into a program that most...

Just 30 more official reveals and we'll reach 800 pokemon. Come on GameFreak!

Funny, I was just coming here to gloat that the Arse-eus pronunciation was finally dead. Everything about the name's origin suggests a hard c to me, like the word arc and the root -arch as in archetype and archaic, which usually means something like "first" or "highest" (and Arceus is the Alpha...
