Tons and tons of news revealed for the upcoming pokemon main
game series’ projects pokemon sun and moon, I feel like I might not be the only
one expected that august 1 date to be a little bit of a slow reveal but it did
caught me off guard with alot being revealed and probably the most being
revealed in one session; let’s get into the news and my personal views on these
pokemons, ideas and much more revealed recently:
Alolan variants:
The biggest shocker of this news probably is his one, never
did we ever theorize of predict this to come, this is just huge; it gives older
pokemons to come out as new one without adding to the actual pokedex, so the
theory of these pokemons are that they have adapted to the different climates
of alola region and have changed their appearances and some of their
properties, there were over five pokemons revealed for this addition as the
alolan variants;
Exeggutors alolan is the biggest meme mon right now and I
quite frankly feel like it has broken any past records of smeargle, this time
it isn’t joking around and packs a dragon, grass typing a combination that only
mega sceptile has had the ability to possess before, I can very much see the
three headed long head dragon thing here, however I didn’t expect it in this
way, I am still confused and even more confused as if this guy is a egg,
pineapple, pine tree or a dragon? TPCi better knows the answer to that, it also
gets the frisk ability which keeps quite some competitive value.
Next up the family of pokemons that came out from my dreams,
this is the second time I’ll claim after charizard x that this is a picture
perfect presentation of what I wanted a ninetales to look like and that dreamy
ice fairy typing too which will surely hold a lot of competitive worth, vulpix
is cute! The snow cloak ability isn’t very big but occasionally can work out
well and who knows there might me a revival of abamasnow strategies on th
competitive seen
Seeing a steel type sandslash was also dream, my idea was
making it a metallic spike ball, but adding the ice type just adds way more to
it, alolan sandshrew and sandslash are both very impressive, one thing
noticeable if that these are slower than the usual ones, which may make them
come out well in trick room strategies as well as make great use of the gyro
ball move that it learns, awkwardly enough it also has the snow cloak ability.
Mini speculation theory is that only generation 1 pokemons
will be given alolan forms, this will also nicely explain the fact that’s why
are pokemon red and blue compatible with pokemon sun and moon so you can
transfer the normal forms of these pokemons in from the previous generation
games. Rumors about dark ratata ad raticate, water growlithe and arcanine, bug
psychic butterfree poison fighting nidoking and nidoqeen as well as normal
fighting doduo and dodrio are being around, especially interested in seeing the
water arcanine and the dark raticate.
More new pokemons:
Fomantis and lurantis:
Oooo! These are really the best grass types design wise I
believe and I just love lurantis, more to it is that lurantis is also a totem
pokemon as shown in the Japanese gameplay and reveal trailers. Lurantis also
happens to learn a new move called solar blade which I believe most likely
would be a physical solar beam (the animation is cool) both lurantis and
fomantis have the ability leaf guard which prevents status in sunlight, most
likely these pokemons will be seen behind the sun strategy, all these mons with
abilities like leaf guard and snow cloak! Maybe they are really trying to nerf
out the smeargle strategies, as we saw a barrage of them and experienced how
impactful and deadly they can be.
More cute!
Minior which is the meteor pokemon and also sounds and looks
like a minion, has a unique rock flying type for such an appearance, it’s
sturdy shell does explain the rock typing but the flying type was probably
given because they wanted to give this pokemon a new ability which is the most
interesting thing to discuss about it as well, the shield down ability works
like a systematic stance change ability, when it’s in the shield it has great
defenses but when the shield goes down after half of it’s hp is lost, it
becomes more and more offensive, can’t say right now anything about it’s
competitive value
Mudbray!
All my theory and speculation on mudsdale was true seeing
mudbray, firstly I felt like that it was a gogoat version for alola, which it
exactly was, second I felt a donkey-ish appearance I mudsdale and guess what
mudbray is a donkey pokemon, there isn’t much to say about mudbray other than
that it is cute!
Gumshoos:
I just love gumshoos it’s better of an evolution of yungoos
as I speculated or thought about and his time it lives up to the name of it’s
ability, it is a stake out pokemon, it targets it’s prey by waiting for them until
they appear so does describe it’s stance and posture. Gumshoos is also a totem
pokemon in the alola region.
Oricrio’s dancing wonders:
First off just wanna say that it looks like a very fan based
concept and I have seen lots of them where a single pokemon gets loads of
different type combination in different forms and I am happy about the fact
that they are giving us what we wanted. Oricorio is probably for me the mot
interesting new pokemon to talk about, it’s bio says that it can change forms
according to the flower sap that it sips on, giving of the typings as in baile:
fire flying, pom pom: electric flying, sensu: ghost flying, and lastly pa’u
style giving the psychic flying. It also gets it’s own signature move known as
the revelation dance which matches it’s secondary typing dependant on which
form it posseses, it’s signature ability dancer makes it copy an foes’ dance
moves, I don’t know if it will make two moves in aturn or so but I am really
interested in knowing the mechanics of this unique ability.
Riding pokemon:
Yes now revealed that you can ride your pokemons, thought
not any pokemon but special pokemons called through ride pokemon services which
makes sense, recently revealed mons shown are mudsdale, charizard, stoutland,
lapras and sharpedo that you can ride. A lot of people are calling this the
removal of hm moves but I feel like that is something that ties the originally
of pokemon and they wouldn’t that that away from us also a person probably has
to spend some money for the services and I don’t feel like if a person is
forced to spend money each time they want to step on unusual land as well as
water.
Boss battles redefined:
The most interesting thing about pokemon sun and moon is
that there are no traditional gyms which does make me a bit sad but hey here
are still boss battles, the way they work are that your have to complete the
tasks given to you by the captians (as recently revealed mallow ;grass type,
lana; water type; an electric type and a fire type specialist) around the region,
after which you have to battle them and then also the totem pokemon which are
stronger than the usual pokemons of their kind. Then you can battle the
kahunas, hala of melemele is one of them, I don’t know if there is one captian
for each island or if there are four separate ones for each island. This all is
known as the rite of the island challenge which would have a lot more to do
alongside battling.
Z-moves; the crystal revealed:
So ever since the first of trailers we were revealed, we
wondered about that mystsrios ring on our trainers’ wrist, this is the z ring
which makes poekmons capable of using powerful z-moves specific to each type
which can only be used once during a battle, as recently revealed these are gigavolt
havoc for electric types, bloom doom for grass types (these both were teased
prior to the actual reveal) inferno overdrive for fire types and hydro vortex
for water types. This does not explain the long awaited mystery of synchro
evolution however it’s something, and I feel like that it will be strongly
releated.
That was it for this post guys, sorry that I got a little
late as I didn’t had time to properly write this up, hope you liked this, bye
for now
