I think Pokemon needs to evolve and we should not forget that GF mostly makes game for a Japanese audience, which luckily happen to work for all of us. In Japan the majority of kids began playing Yokai Watch with a very kid-friendly and tame story, Pokemon can't cater to this audience anymore...

This is interesting because Heatmor is not part of the Alolan Dex and so won't even be part of VGC 2017, why such a change? Programmer whose favourite is Heatmor begging game director to amend its movepool?

apparently these older Pokemon lines from the Alola dex are sun exclusives (don't show in Moon wild Pokemon data): Garchomp Goodra Braviary Whimsicott Vanilluxe and Castform Porygon But I can imagine that these last two are special Pokemon and not catchable in the wild.

Provided only Regional dex Pokemon (probably exclude UBs and legendaries) and no megas will be allowed it looks well sorted. I took a look at all the available Pokemon and the speed is pretty well balanced, apart from a few rather fast but extremely frail exceptions. I believe the Tapus will be...

no pre-evolution and Sun exclusive. It is the equivalent to Drampa in Moon. I have a feeling all the other Pokemon which will be not viable in VGC 2017 will be amended as they become available in future meta games, otherwise the Alola Pokemon will have a very short lifespan.

as for encounter rate check these links http://pastebin.com/YjNi4Qdk http://pastebin.com/HKEVPUYX Evolution wise: Charjabug and Crabrawler only evolve in certain areas, mentioned as "Electric" and "Summit" specifically. You only get Fomantis if it levels up in day light. For the rest -...

Talonflame looks to be a thing of the past, as well. Lycancroc's Accelerock attack will kill it instantly, plus it's learnset makes it look quite viable. Could become staple

Dhelmise Ghost/Grass Base stats 70/131/100/86/90/40 Slower than Trevenant, but better bulk and attack. Looks very useful in Trick Room, but don't know about moveset

so far I saw that Turtonator, Alolan Ninetales, Vanilluxe, Braviary and Garchomp lines seem to be Sun exclusive. edit: Makuhita is available in Moon, too.

You mix up archers with cowboys, which had to be fast to shoot someone. An archer uses stealth and strikes without getting noticed. Once he is found out the archer mostly has to move spots and start hiding again. Also speed is irrelevant, because he'd never be in face-to-face combat. Game-wise...

Looking at the regional dex and the order of all Pokemon as they appear first on islands, we might be able to tell what some of the unknown mons are in terms of typing. Alolan Golem might be Rock/Electric being placed next to Electivire line. Alolan Dugtrio might become a Rock typing, as well...

then I really wonder why everybody is so excited about this part of the story.

I'm convinced that the main games will make the jump to the Switch, because the Switch will replace 3DS and WiiU becoming the first handheld + home console hybrid. It is specifically being marketed as such. Although some people mentioned that it's too big for a handheld, looking at how huge...

I think "building a league" is not what it seems it is. It won't be as customised as we wish it will be, probably it just means that we witness a pre-determined story and just take part in there being 4 trainers who'll say "hey let's build a league" and later on there they are with their...
