Ironbound Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 ICSW, do me a favour and never mention that trash again. And yes, Bug/Ground needs more Pokémon. I can't believe we still don't have a termite Pokémon with that typing, considering we have ants (Durant), bees (Vespiquen) and wasps (Beedrill) already. Grubbin should be a termite, although it looks like a beetle larva. Sigh...GF does love beetles, doesn't it? What with Heracross, Pinsir, Escavalier, Ledian, etc etc... Also WHERE IS MY DOLPHIN!?

You'll find it hidden deep in the waters of alola Nah but really at this point I'm not super sure we'll see one.. At the very least I don't think they'll spoil it before release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmanultrax1 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 it also says that Lillie plays an important part of the story. Interested in to know that (the daughter of N? lol) but for grubbin what if they do something like they did for snowrunt or burmy? it could have two different evolution lines one for bug/ground the other for bug/electric or more like burmy. when it evolves it becomes a bug/ground type, but when near areas of electricity like in grubbins entry it becomes bug/electric.

The only way it's N's daughter is if N married Concordia .. In pokemon, all relatives resemble each other via hair colors , eyes and seldom hairstyle is similar too. Lillie may play a role in the story in a different way than we think.. also I still think her design is very Kalos-like, so she may be our connection to a Kalos return or something It's been a while since we had branch evolutions, it wouldnt be bad to get another one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmanultrax1 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Im guessing with the johto pokemon in the region the pokedex is going to be something like kalos with below 100 new pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Grubbin should be a termite, although it looks like a beetle larva. Oh I don't know, I think it looks a lot like a termite. White body, reddish brownish head, large jaws. The description says that it uses its jaws for digging, and my brain immediately jumped to bug/ground upon reading that and that it loves electricity. The only inconsistency in the designs is Grubbin's stumpy legs, like those of a caterpillar, but that can be explained through maturation stages in the evolutionary line.

Beetle grub ^ Looks pretty much like grubbin irl Can't deny termites also look pretty damn similar to it, but if you google what a grub is, it's more specifically a beetle larva (to the scarab-ish family) . A termite might be cool, but I don't think grubbin will be it. Of course, grubbin evo line are not going to be the only bugs in the region so , you never know what Alola may bring next. They seem to be focusing on animals that are found in Hawaii so far though( even koalas) I half-expect a feral chicken-like pokemon Edited June 17, 2016 by Masquerain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It's going to be a Bug/Ground termite with huge jaws and an ability that boosts it every time it's hit by an electric type move. All holes filled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerain Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Wow^ On a side note, this is completely random, but I thought I'd share it. I had a dream last night that involved playing dream-version of SunMoon (Yes, I tend to have dreams about anything and they seldom get far too weird). The dream didn't feature much, but it did feature a list of the gym types and a dolphin 'mon This ain't mine or made by me, but it's more or less what the dolphin pokemon looked like in my dream (I just took the closest dolphin 'mon pic I found on google which resembled the dolphin pokemon in my dream and slightly edited and colored it from the original : http://i31.tinypic.com/fanlu.jpg ) So yea anyways, in my dream, the gym type color palette was void of green/yellow/redorange, so I assume there was no grass, fire or electric gym. I recall from my memory, there was a water gym (the second gym), possibly a flying gym (1st or 3rd), ghost gym (4th), fairy gym (5th) , ice gym (6th), dark gym (7th) and steel gym (8th) . I also recall there was no poison gym... shame. Can't recall the missing gym sadly. Random post end P.S. Is nobody else disappointed that the trainers in the background are only there for decoration, soulless beings inhabiting a hollow shell of a dead carcass, forever smiling, never-fliinching as their beloved pokemon are in critical condition or fainting??? It just seriously bugs me..and disappoints me. Furthermore, for all this "dynamic" addition to battles, key trainers still don't have special dialogue or reaction when they're down to their last pokemon... Sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh That's a cute dolphin, I wish it'll be real. Well, what if the poison master becomes the Elite 4? Also is the soulless trainer in the back is already confirmed because pokejungle.net has this information: "All trainers have unique actions and emotions thanks to the 3D". PS. Oh, just realized that it might have something to do with the overworld, not battles. I'm still hoping that they're animated and has emotions in the battle as well. Also hoping for dual region, I mean look at Lillie, she doesn't look like she is from Alola but Kalos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hoping for dual region, I mean look at Lillie, she doesn't look like she is from Alola but Kalos. Well, there's a sliver of hope considering game footage is not final as of yet.. But what we saw during E3 showed that your own rival, a key character, is just as soulless as you, and only has a command+idle thinking animation during battle.. No reaction to pokemon reaching red HP or fainting or critical hits or being down to their last pokemon.. I believe they meant the overworld NPCs because we did get to see a female swimmer just run out into the ocean near a slowpoke and stuff... AND yeah, Lillie definitely looks like somebody that belongs to a more posh place like Kalos, maybe even sinnoh. Here's a crazy theory- Bulbapedia lists that Cynthia has a younger sister- what if Lillie is that sister? They look close enough to pull it off.. It's completely random and out of the blue but hey, it'd be a nice tie-in for future Sinnoh remakes and whatnot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmanultrax1 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 So is that the main female trainer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absol-lutelty awesome! Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I seriously don't want to spoil this adventure to come but I still keep going back to YouTube to watch the videos and coverages... *sigh* So basically word is that popplio will likely be a water/fairy, litten will likely be fire/dark (heheheheheheh...), and that damned mr owl will be a one, a two... A three- I mean a flying/grass! This leads me to wonder just one thing. Where will the fire fighting type of the region be so I can literally drive it to extinction? Also something that has been worrying me is how awkward the walking animations look ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govictory Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 So is that the main female trainer? by the walking animation i would say yes which means WE CAN TAKE OFF HATS HOPEFULLY and if swim suits are buyable via shop in this game i am gonna get my character a purple speedo and name myself Cain if you catch my drift kappapride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The female trainer does in no way look that grown-up and still wears the chicken hat. It's confirmed that there's customization though, so maybe we WILL be able to take off the hat this time around And yeah, walking animation is rather awkward but hey, it's their first one so.. they'll improve The only reason people think popplio will be fairy is because it learns disarming voice at lv8.. I don't know any starter that learns the move of its future 2nd typing so early on, so I wouldn't take it so seriously. Of course lookin at popplio, it resembles a future water/fairy pretty well, so I'd sooner believe that over water/fighting.. And the cat is black, leaving ppl to think it'll be fire dark later on.. That's..well... here's hoping.. I prefer that to fireground or firefighting.. And not every region has a fire fighting pokemon..does it? I don't think Kalos had one, or maybe I'm forgetting a mon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi-Bi Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The only starter learning its secondary STAB early is Mudkip. At level 9, it learns Mud Slap. Well, for me Grass/Flying, Water/Fighting, and Fire/Ground trio wouldn't bother me. In fact, if they keep the circus theme and all of them are competitively viable, the trio would make a good signature Pokemon for Agate Circus Triumvirate so part of me want that to be true.

Ah yeah, there was that one , but it turned water/ground as early as becoming Marshtomp, so it made more sense I think. I guess if they reveal the second evolutions of these starters, we'll know in what direction they're going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome_Complex Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 3 regions had a fire/fighting, but they all came right after one another which is what made it so tiresome(though I like all three). The walking animation does look pretty derpy, hopefully they can make it smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
