>Gamefreak broke the formula and actually changed Pokemon. No more gyms and no more HM moves
>Anime broke the formula and Ash is confirmed to win the Kalos League
Holy shit Sup Forums 20 years. 20 fucking years and Pokemon finally decides to switch things up. I never thought I would see the day. And that new trailer got me hyped as fuck
youtube.com
Where were you when Pokemon was saved? I feel like I'm fucking kid again
No gyms? I didn't get that from the newest trailer.
>no more gyms
The "gyms" are just outdoors now. You will still have a gauntlet of trainers going up to the "gym" leader. The only thing they've done away with, are the puzzles.

So he's finally getting replaced?
>steel sandslash
>fairy ninetails
at long last i can use gen 1 again without it being trash mon
>Ice/Steel
>Ice/Fairy
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
New Sandslash will be 4x weak to Fire and Fighting
No, but she is.
even shit types are good when paired with fairy.
Their ability is going to be shit too. Increase evasion in snowstorm.
"Kalos League Victory! Satoshi's Greatest Decisive Battle!"
>post yfw Ash finally wins a Pokemon league
ninetales isn't trash
ice one probably will be unless it gets snow warning
>ice/fairy
>smogon meltdown imminent
Yeah, the leaked final evolution art actually confirmed this due to Mallow's appearance in said leaked art weeks ahead of today's reveal.
...
Wasn't its original ability the same, but with sandstorms?
Also, it's possible that we might get different secret abilities. Ninetales' secret is Sunny Day on switch-in, so it might end up being Hail on switch-in for its new form.
>bullet punch
>ded
Ice is such a shit type, it's not fair.
he won orange islands and battle frontier
Wait they're really going to replace Ash? Holy shit I always wanted this to happen but I'm not prepared. This is too much
Both filler
STAB Ice is very powerful offensively and Fairy does a decent job at mitigating its weaknesses, 4x weakness to Steel is not that bad, since as an offensive type, Steel has shit coverage, and being weak to rocks is nothing new.
Overall, Alola Ninetales may be one of the few ice types that isn't fucking shit
They can't build up the romance with Serena. And then just throw her away for a new girl. The perfect way they could do it is have Ash get her preggers, and make their son/daughteru the new anime main character.
You do raise a good point.
Being able to fuck up dragons in two different ways is not something to ignore. It can hit Garchomps and Hydreigons pretty hard.
How does is the game's last evo starter concept art related to the anime?
>Wasn't its original ability the same, but with sandstorms?
Yes, and Sandslash was never a very strong pokemon, not even in gen 1 before abilities existed. But it at least has the virtue of not being 4x weak to one of the most common types of physical attacks.
>Ash wins the Pokemon league
>Ash gets the best girl
>Gets to syncro evolve with Naruto frog
Based Ash
No, you misunderstand.
The leaked art depicts Ash and Mallow.
maybe we get a new mc next season
That confirms nothing
Can't wait for him to lose again.
The leaked art is apparently reference art for the anime production.
wtf i hate pokemon now
where it at tho'
Unless it has fantastic stats that isn't going to matter. Steel is a common offensive move now specifically because of the existence of fairy, and you didn't even mention fighting moves which it's also 4x weak to. Having two common 4x weaknesses is very bad, and considering it doesn't even have a good ability, it would have to have the most amazing stats and movepool to make up for that.
Now if its ability caused hail instead of just getting evasion from it, then I could see it getting some use despite the weaknesses.
How do you get around then? Pokemon mounts?
>no hm moves
but i like surf and fly tho?
Emerald frontier is to this day the hardest challenge in all of pokemon, I'd say that's a victory
OK, I haven't watched the Pokemon anime since I was in fifth grade. Can someone explain what the fuck that thing is supposed to be?
And Ash/Satoshi is still there so is mistaken.
Z moves and fetch quests. Lol gonna be shit.
>confirms nothing
>Literally says Kalos League Victory
you retarded or something?
talking about the leaks
the new starters are pretty good looking
i am hyped
They won't get rid of the movies, they'll just turn them into TMs with no overworld functionality.
You will still be able to surf and fly on pokemon that can do it, you just won't have to use up a move slot for it. It's really one of the obvious fixes they should have implemented several gens ago.
>no more HM moves
I know that Pokemon transports are confirmed. But that doesn't actually mean there'll be no HM moves does it?
Well, it would be neat for as long as the old moves stay TMs. But why expect HMs to be gone? It's probably the same as ever.
have a you.
Fairy resists fighting, so it's neutral to it.
I probably didn't make clear what I meant when I quoted two people, but I was referring to Serena being replaced, not Ash.
i will probably pick the water one
i really dig the design
I was undecided between grass owl and fire cat. If those are really what the final evolutions are at least I won't have a difficult decision anymore. Grass owl wins by a landslide.
I think by now they've realised HMs are bullshit that limit movepools, when you clearly have Pokémon suited to certain tasks.
HMs are a relic of the gameboy games that seriously needed to go along with tile-based world design and movement, they seriously hampered gen 6.
Do not sexualize the seal/clown/mermaid/siren.
moar?
me too. i wanted a fire panther and instead i got yet another goofy fire luchador just like the last 5 gens
Cute how they use Dark/Fire Type Tiger Wrestler's crotch to heat up the kettle.

>Alolan Butterfree is Bug/Psychic

>Alolan Nidoking & Nidoqueen are Poison/Fighting-type
>Alolan Growlithe & Arcanine are Water-type

>Furfrou gets new styles
>New cat Pokémon varies in type and appearance based on breeding
>There is a new snowman Pokémon line with two stages and it is Ice/Ghost
>Not to get hopes up, but there may be two final evolutions for each starter
>There will be no traditional Gyms and no Pokémon League in Alola. Your goal is to actually create one. After you do, an Elite 4 will appear which are the leaders of each island
>The final starter evolutions will be an Archer, a Wrestler and a Siren
>The diamond stones will be collectible throughout the region and act similarly to Mega Stones but not exactly
>New Pokémon based on a dolphin, sea cucumber, snowman, mushroom and a rugby monkey are there
>Rockruff’s evolution is a Werewolf
>Mashadow, another copyrighted Pokémon name, has a very unique type combo
so now there are 4 "kahunas" instead of 8 gym leaders?
thanks iwata
Sure. But nothing has confirmed their removal in Sun & Moon.
Even with the Poke transports.
>you can have a trap mermaid seal be your sex slave
Admittedly yeah, there was the Rhydon and Gogoat sections in X/Y, but they still didn't remove HMs.
>New girl companion
>They will have yo bullshit a reason for Serena to stay in kalos
>all that romantic buildup right to the trash.
I hate the anime sometimes.
...
It is exactly how he described it, a naruto frog.
Ash and Greninja share an insanely strong bond that Ash can syncro evolve with Greninja. Greninja gets a super saiyan like power boost and Ash can fully control Greninja's movement. When Greninja takes damage, Ash feels it too. Here's a couple of it's battles

This thing is fucking overpowered and broken as fuck. People bitched that Ash got fucked over by Tobias and his legendary Pokemon in the Sinnoh league but Ash-Greninja can literally sweep Tobias's team
what did they mean by this?
I need a source.
Or at least an artist name.
Please.
Image search didn't give me any results
He just got to battle them tho, no hard parts like going through the battle pike
and my favorite one

I'm actually excited for a pokemon game. What a time to be alive.
>can't see the nipples
Oh, what a fucking tease.
But thank you, friend.
Why did you just post two trees?
Here's hoping for an Alolan Scyther that evolves into a "Alolan Scizor" that doesn't have steel
>doesn't fit on the screen
I love it.
>No more gyms
how the hell do i prove im the very best like no one ever was!?
I'll believe it when I see it.
His opponent is probably gonna have a team of full fucking legendaries again.
What the fuck?
Jesus christ that's stupid. I'm glad I didn't keep watching this shit. That's not even what Pokemon is supposed to be about.

so you're telling me your opinion is worthless?
Silly Pokemon gets a sillier evolution.
WHO IS READY FOR ALOHA LUCARIO?
ALOHA GARCHOMP?
ALOHA CHARIZARD!
ALOHA BLASTOISE!
ALOHA VENASUAR!
ALOHA PIKACHU!
JUST
Comedic potential.
Why are blades of grass taller than Sudowoodo?
this thing is gonna be great for comboposting
Salandit confirmed for best new Pokemon.
...
Ash still has to defeat an elite 4
Basically never ever
lucario isn't gen1, no one cares enough about those digimon to give it new version
same with next one
charizard through venosaur are starters they won't get new versions
pikachu is a classic mascot, they won't change him
I really wanted the evil water starter
that thing is so fucking retarted it's impossible to hate it
>35 feet tall
Copy that.
