I mean just look at Drumpa lmao.

Drampa's design (though not that fierce looking as the artworks) is actually quite close to how some Oriental Dragon's are usually depicted in artworks, like this one, for example

Could this be real ?

It seems that Bulbapedia is correct.

Togedemaru's move is written as ほうでん こうげき, Discharge Strike/Discharge Attack, rather than ほうでん/Discharge.

Edit: Emolga's move is Electro Ball.

Bruxish looks like a Relicanth that got some bad botox

This is what happened when Relicanth and Gorebyss had a kid, which then went to Basculin's dentist.

Man some of these pokemon are gonna take me some time to wrap my head around....

Bruxish is really throwing me off, i think i just need to get used to it .-.

It's like Relicanth is a big way.. It probably has a niche use, but still doesn't get used if it doesn't get the stats to back it up. In case you're wondering, Relicanth's would be Rock Head+Head Smash.

Finally a bug type that won't be weak to fire. Please let cutiefly have a three stage evolution.... Also kinda mad that some random fish gets a water psychic typing and Golduck can't!

It's still weak to fire. Fire resist fairy, not the other way around.

Also Surskit is not weak to fire.

Let's hope so Dunsparce is desperately in need of an evolution. Unfortunately they have a rather bad track record of assigning past Pokemon regular evolution's(aside from Eevee of course) in the last 2 generations. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

After the fiasco with Luvdisc and Alomomola I am not assuming ANYTHING.

<><><>

Anyway, I'm a bit indifferent to some of these designs, but I'm really liking Vikavolt and Cutiefly for being wonderfully cool and cute respectively.

Neither are Anorith and Armaldo.

Which is one of the reasons I love it so much.

I always adored these dragons as a kid, seeing them in cartoons and movies. To have one as a pokemon is just dope.

Not to mention...

I could just be missing something but does anyone recognise the three birds fighting Tapukoko at the beginning of the trailer?

 

[Toonadri]

im the only one that thinks that the fish and cutiefly look like dragon quest monsters? lol xd

They are Spearow. It is more clear in 1080p.

 

[Aura Flare Riolu]

Tapu Koko! OH MAN! This thing is gonna be a monster! Auto Electric Terrain ability? That gives it a 50% boost to it's Electric attacks! With STAB and that boost, Thunderbolt is 202.5 Power and Thunder is 247.5 Power. Thunder hits harder than Darmanitan's Flare Blitz (234 Power). This thing with Politoed in Doubles. Dropping Thunders all day, it's time!

If Cutiefly turns out to be related to some competitive usable Evolution Line, then Pokemon like Mega Sceptile, Flygon, Garchomp/Mega Garchomp and Hydreigon are really going to get messed up.

I would flip out.

I'm loving every new Pokemon we've gotten. Even the weird ones are simpler.

Grubbin/Vikavolt and Tapu Koko will both be on my team- I don't care that they're both electric.

Ah ok fair enough, I can't watch anything beyond 480p (Curse you Australian Internet!)

I see more and more, staller pokemon are coming in. It is glorious. Bruxish especially.

I do feel, however, that Cutiefly is a non-evolving pokemon. I think it'll have the stats to hold its own, though.

Keep in mind though that the boosted damage from Electric Terrain only works when used on pokemon that are on the ground, so its not quite as universal as the straight boosts given by things like Sunny Day.

Could the following be Vikavolt/Kuwaganon's possible inspiration for its design? It appears to be based off the Gradius ship of the Gradius games. If so, assault space ship bug for the win!
