Tringus Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Well, the new batch was revealed, and as it was predicted, it revealed the starter evolutions. Dartrix and Torracat look nothing like their final evolutions, but you never know. The one thing I am surprised with is that Torracat is the FIRST Fire-type starter to walk on four legs, rather than two. The starters all look pretty cool, though I'm still liking Dartrix and Torracat more. No new Alolan forms, but we DID get confirmation of Mega Evolution returning, and it's the Z-Ring that gives that feature too! What's even more amazing is that Ash-Greninja is confirmed. I'm surprised it is literally called Ash-Greninja, because that is literally the first time the games mention Ash at all. The new features look pretty cool, but the new Pokemon, Mega Evolution, and Ash-Greninja were pretty much the highlight of today's news.

Lucky98 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 - Starter Evolutions: I was not expecting Rowlet's evolution to look like that honestly. It seems strange, but I'll take it if it evolves into the leaked version. Litten's evolution is my favorite of the three. I'm really not sure what I think of Popplio's evolution.- Festival Plaza: seems cool. It seems like it's the union room from gen 4 but on a much bigger, online scale. I'll have to see ehat we can do when the game comes out.- Pokepellago: A way to get items and pokemon. It seems to be an in game version of gen 5's dream world. Maybe we can even get hidden abilities this way.- Mega Evolution: Finally. People who actually thought they were getting rid of megas can shut up. From the looks of things, we are only getting old megas, not any new ones. Mega evolution works by also using the Z-Bracelet, and are also once per battle. We are also apparently going to have to work for those mega stones, as several of them cost 64 BP.- Demo Version: I'm really excited about this. Let's just hope Game Freak learned their lesson from the ORAS demo and don't include the entire game's information in demo.- Ash-Greninja: We get for completing the demo, similar to Mega Glalie/Steelix in the ORAS demo. Greninja gets a new ability called Battle Bond that activates once you defeat a pokemon. It's form change lasts the rest of the battle. It seems that Ash-Greninja will be banned from vgc, similar to certain legendaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairFamily Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) My feelings over this episode: - Dartrix: it is just fabulous. - Torracat: I'm soooo picking that fire starter. The fire bell is quite original and is just adorable. MINE. - Brionne: meh. - Festival plaza I don't know how to feel about it. That pp up and ev training looks nice though. - Poke pelago will finally make me feel less bad about stashing my pokemon. - Mega evolution: as expected, that draco meteor looks sic though. - demo version: Greninja's battle bond a new abilty?Cool. *mega evolution starts* no, nonono, not him. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! found this on torracat. "The cat punch that this Pokémon can dish out with its strong forelegs is extremely powerful. It can bend iron bars and knock out large men with a single blow!" Please don't ruin it by making it another fire/fighting. Edited October 4, 2016 by FairFamily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CURIE Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 At this point anyone still trying to say those starter leaks are fake is in denial. Rowlet keeps up the archer theme by going from sharpened feathers to darts, Litten's mid evolution has the same markings and wears the fire belt around his neck (and his description on the website is about punching), and Popplio's is... Well, just look at it. In related news, guess which leak ALSO predicted Ash Greninja? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tringus Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Once again, Brionne is still the ugly duckling, until it evolves into the beautiful swan (siren) it becomes. On a side note, maybe that Team Skull person is actually another player, because they don't have the face mask. We might actually get to wear Team Skull's clothes, but that's wishful thinking.

Also I agree with the final starter evos being all but confirmed. They all very much look like the transition stage between the starters and their final forms. Megas being confirmed it neat, but not too interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tringus Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Oh yeah.... Then why the hell are people always complaining about two-legged fire starters when Quilava makes the difference? The sheer amount of fire starters that stand on two legs made me completely overshadow Quilava, and that was an error on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted October 4, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted October 4, 2016 Am I the only one who likes Brionne? I really like Torracat and Brionne. I'm not as fond of Datrix, but it isn't bad. It's cool that you can do something with Pokemon in the PC now, instead of just leaving them in storage. The Festival Plaza also looks like it could be fun. Also, Greninja already has a hidden ability, so how exactly will Battle Bond work? Is it exclusive to this specific Greninja somehow? I don't plan on using it anyway, just wondering how it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampellow Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The starter designs sure seem to be going the way of the leaked ones, but coupled with the fact that the secret behind the starters may be split evolutions, which would be great in my opinion. Kinda meh about everything else, the plaza seems like Join Avenue and the PC thing is like the dream world. Nice to know we do have mega evolution back, finally shuts up the people who were convinced we wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky98 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It seems like we have a new evolution stone: The Ice Stone. This will probably be how Alolan Vulpix evolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmanultrax1 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah they said that this greninja is exclusive to the demo coming and it can be transferred to your actual game file after. What I don't like about it, is that they didn't even bother to at least change the name. ash has had no relation to the games at all, so I'm just confused that their keeping it like that. We also don't know if its stats change in this form, although it should as its like darmanitan's zen mode. I'm pretty sure that is the "rainbow" greninja that came up a few weeks ago. But if it isn't then were getting two greninja forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilightwing Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Broinne and Torracat they seem to peak my interest now we gotta wait for the official release of the final evo So that people can make a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Alright, alright. Y'all win your silly "ha, doubters can shut up now" game. It was a completely valid point due to the fact that no new Megas were coming out and how long it had been without any news or hints at all (until Sina and Dexio showed up to tease it) that there was no "confirmation" of it being in the game. If it holds to just putting the feature in the game and not adding new megas....That's somewhat disappointing for me. There's a few starter evolution lines that would like some attention at the very least. --- #CatPunch. I wouldn't mind if Litten ends up another firefighter, personally. (Fighting is one of my favorite types though.) It's a race between Litten and Rowlet for me. Popplio is much too frilly and....a Water type.... --- Pokepelago and the Friend festival thing look to be potentially useful in various areas, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for finding hidden ability Pokemon. Yet. I was kinda hoping a feature like the DexNav would return for that kind of stuff, anyway. --- I don't really care all that much for Ash-Greninja, but if the Demo is free to play, there's no reason not to play it and get it.

NickCrash Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 This is quite interesting and finally the games look promising. With the exception of Ash-Greninja, everything else looks remarkable. The starter evolutions are much better looking that all other pokemon we've seen so far, only outshined in cuteness by their pre-evolutions. Rowlet's evo appears to be an upper-class young man who has green leafy hair, while Popplio's evo takes on more on the feminine side. Litten's evo seems to have potential, and bear in mind that going physical doesn't mean it can't be Dark type. It would make nice contrast with Houndoom, so I'm looking forward to it. As Chase said, it will be disappointing to just include all megas we already know. As far as I am concerned, they are beginning the hype for mega evolutions so they could reveal new ones in the following weeks, and my bet is on M-Flygon being revealed a week before the release of the demo, to maximize hype. What would be even more interesting is to hide certain megas, so people will have a nice surprize by finding a completely new one by chance while playing the game. That feeling of exploration is hard to experience when all information about the game is already released months ago. Besides, the fact that the Z-ring is what initiates both the Z moves and the Mega Evolutions may hint that in competitive battling, you'd be able to either use a Z move or a Mega but not both. So if they end up being overpowered, at least this rule balances things out. All in all, I have higher expectations than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tringus Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Well, it looks like the whole game IS going to be revealed once again. https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/783303444601921536 It's 150mb bigger than the ORAS demo, too. Looks like the dataminers are going to have a field day with this one once again. Not that I mind of course, I don't give a fuck. Just builds my hype even more.

Jmanultrax1 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I starting to believe more that popplio may be a mermaid like in the image. Based off on what we saw today it seems to start wear something like a dress. Rowlet looks like an upperclassman from a prep school based on its hair design, so maybe its final evolution might look like a scholar. than we have Litten who looks a lot like a Bobcat in appearance. But I still cant see its final form as a wrestler when its second form doesn't even show a little resemblance to it. Which might make the 2 evolutionary designs more possible. also did anyone see that float stone? a new evolution stone confirmed?

Guzam Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 also did anyone see that float stone? a new evolution stone confirmed? Float stone has been around for a while iirc. What is new is an ice stone revealed in other trailers. Does this mean eevee will evolve via ice and leaf stone finally? No. This probably won't be the case because GF is very disappointing with stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampellow Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 So mega stones will not be allowed in vgc, at least for this year, which will make this interesting, which also may mean that there are no new megas(which is sad) because if there were new megas you would think that megas would be allowed in vgc.

Oranguru + Mega Kanga THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T ALLOW THAT LOL. I'm seeing new megas coming later in this gen. No way they're just abandoning the thing just like that.

Plok Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 icy stone will probably be for vulpix, also when you realize that PMD takes place in a PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CURIE Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It'll never happen but imagine how hype it would be if the battle theme changed to Ashninja's when you "evolve" him. That theme is the best. Well, the Japanese one anyway, I dunno what the dub does for a theme but it probably sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leocain Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 So, what are the odds on Ash-Greninja being banned? I mean, something that´s a Mega Evolution in all but name, based on an ability and still lets you use items, which can be pretty lethal.

Lucky98 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 when you realize that PMD takes place in a PC The player always has amnesia as a side effect of being converted into data lol It'll never happen but imagine how hype it would be if the battle theme changed to Ashninja's when you "evolve" him. That theme is the best. Well, the Japanese one anyway, I dunno what the dub does for a theme but it probably sucks. That would be an amazing detail for them to include. It would show they pay attention to smaller details. Speaking of, anyone else notice Ash-Greninja actually throws the shuriken on its back when using Water Shuriken.
