Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon

[SlowPokemon]

I mean, I get that but... I'm the sort of person who wants to go in completely blind to games and movies and whatever else. Haha I actually STOPPED following sun and moon news because I got upset with how many new Pokémon they revealed prior to release. I'd be fine if they saved the surprises for the game.

Not a fan at the moment. They tried to just put both forms together. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another form that's just a recolor of Midnight form with Middays hair.

But it's orange! Okay, favorite colors aside, I'd agree this isn't the most original design, but not every design can be a home run.
Let's hope it is better than Midnight form in competitive because I think Lycanroc is an awesome Pokemon in general.
Anyone else kinda excited to see what the shiny version will look like though?

EDIT: Just saw the direct footage of the video and DANG I like how they've jazzed up (not literally jazzed mind you) the wild battle theme.

Pretty much my opinion. Give it No Guard AND Accelerock, maybe give it a little more attacking stats in exchange for defenses... but they won't do that, will they?

[Dekkadeci]

I get that they tried to merge the two forms together, but the end result is a Lycanroc form that looks too much like the Midday form and doesn't feel very unique. Not what I would've liked to see revealed.

I agree with that. Other than the colouration--and possibly the mane size?--I couldn't tell the difference between this and Midday form.

I bet it'll get a third move the other 2 forms don't already have. And I currently believe it'll be as lame as Midnight form's exclusive move of Counter.

Watch it be splash, I can just feel it...

[Dekkadeci]

Turns out I was wrong--according to CoroCoro, Lycanroc Dusk Form(e?) gets both Accelerock and Counter. ...And it gets Tough Claws!

No clue about the base stats, though.

Dude tough claws makes it good

News flash: Lycanroc Dusk Form is event-only and evolves from an event-only Rockruff. Rockruff caught in-game will not evolve into Lycanroc Dusk Form.




WHAT THE FUCK GAME FREAK

Now that Game Freak's capable of giving away Pokemon that have the same looks and species number as an existing Pokemon, but have fundamentally different abilities/evolution lines/etc., I bet this kind of thing will happen more often, not less.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

I'm hoping it'll at least have a 135 base attack stat. That would be some consolation.

And finally...

Brand New Trailer!

Kahili showing up more often?
Ryuki showing up more often in the game? In a building that looks like it could kind of be a Pokemon gym?
Dark clouds floating over Alola a la Platinum?
could the protagonists please close their mouths or something; they look absolutely downright unnerving like that

GAMEFREAK used new trailers!

DUDEMAN fell asleep!

GF employee #1: how do we get people to buy what's more or less the same game
