New Pokemon Discussion Thread

[Fairy Queen]

I would doubt it. Combee case is more because of how only female Bees are queens. Steenee is a humanoid fruit. While only females can be queens in terms of humans, there's not much else to it. I feel it's just easier and better if the whole species is just female if that's the case. Pretty sure we always have at least 1 male and female only species in each gen(Except Gen 6 where there was none for male).

I don't really like the idea of getting something and it can't evolve because it's not the right gender. Gender different forms or evolutions are fine, but Combee's case, I rather it never happen again.

But for a male pokemon to have the ability called Queen's Majesty is unusual. Maybe the ability is exclusive to female only Tsaranee.

I freaking love Kommo-o. Really has an ancient middle east vibe to it for me. The scales on the head remind me of ringlet hair styles.

I really like it. First truly Gen VI Pokemon to make me ponder making room in one of my all-time favorites teams. Not Team 1 potential, but certainly 2 or 3.

I say truly Gen VI, because Alolan Marowak also deserves space.

RKS System?

Ar-key-es...Arceus...

Yup. Someone definitely tried to create god in Silvally.

Definitely. Looks like there's been some messing with the environment and Pokemon themselves this time around.

I'm kind of digging Alolan Muk. It looks really psychedelic .

Ribombee is really cute.

All of the new ones seem to have some decent potential. Really looking forward to these games now .

Traditionally it is middle-stages that are kept a secret.

Anyways, Akala Island's Deity is still not revealed. I hope we will see it next month if it is not leaked by demo.

Oh I didn't know that I guess that means Ribombee most likely won't evolve which is a shame.

Ooo, I'd really like that too. This way they could go with the usual dragon psuedo they like to include, and then they could have a non-typical one of another typing. Maybe a more humanoid one would be nice. I can see Silvally being around psuedo level too, like Volcarona, but higher than 550 BST.

I agree.

 

[pokedigijedi]

Is is just me, or does part of Silvadi's cry sound like Skarmory's? early I thought I heard Porygon in there but I don't, go ahead and correct me if I am wrong but its cry sounds like a mix between different Pokemon.

also I may have to try and include Kommo-o in my team, if at all possible, if not then I can wait until the post game to train it

I agree it's my third favourite Sun and Moon Pokemon revealed so far after Lycanroc (Midday) and Salandit.

 

[Lykouros]

I haven't watched the video (avoiding images of the new Pokemon) but is there proof that the bee only has the one evolution?

 

[Arcamenel]

I hope it has another evolution, it really does feel incomplete.

 

[NeptuneCloyster]

I wonder if Silvally will evolve again? the only reason i think it might is that Null was covered in bronze armour, silvally predominantly features silver, and since they are approaching gold, and arceus is gold, maybe there will be a third stage that comes really close to him and matches his cold colouration

 

[Ajduk]

This was probably discussed before but how will the version exclusive evolution work?
Do I have to breed a pokemon and then send it to my friend who has a different version (Moon, for example) and wait for him to evolve it to get the werewolf Moon pokemon?

I believe it's due to the power influx given off from the legendary, so I personally think it'll depend on which version you have. So you'll have to trade a lycanroc midnight to sun, if how I hypothesize is right, you won't be able to evolve a rockruff into midnight form in day at all I believe.

Only one evolution was shown and no one knows if it will evolve again.

Interesting thought, but I personally doubt Silvally will evolve any further. Maybe it's just as you said: Arceus is "gold" - the real deal - yet they only managed to achieve bronze (Type: Null) and evolve it into silver (Silvally).

 

[roserade the warrior]

I have really enjoyed this last 2 generations. I mean, the designs look so... organic, less polygonal, less robotic. The only thing I dislike is that they made Jangmo-o's evo stand on 2 legs and bounsweet's evo too human (also, too similar to lilligant with that leaf-hair and crown), and even then I like them a lot.

 

[Beloberto]

Well, they suddenly revealed Bounsweet and Jangmo-o whole evolution line in the same breath as Cutiefly's evolution, so you would guess they gave those three complete evolution lines. But no, no confirmation it doesn't evolve again.

 

[KingMinun]

The resolution from Corocoro meant that I wasn't fussed on Silvally at all, but thankfully seeing it properly and also its moving in 3d, well I like it a lot now. Really pleased with the design.

 

[clbgolden12]

Ayy, new Pokémon. Le thoughts:

1. Silvally, super cool still. "RKS System" basically confirms this was man's attempt on recreating Arceus (and also finally tells us how Arceus is pronounced).
2. Jangmo-o's evolutions look cool as well. Seeing it in 3D, it's quite clear it's based off a samurai, and using its scales as armor is super creative in the design.
3. Bounsweet evos, nice. But why is "Quennly Majesty" just a Dazzling clone? Dazzling could've still fit just as well...
4. Cutiefly's evo, finally. The face is a little weird IMO but still a cute design. Though the line still looks incomplete, so I'm betting on another evolution.

Overall, loving the new designs. Not really planning on having any of them on my team but I still love the creativity put in them.

 

[Cradily17]

They still haven't shown off any new fossil Pokémon. Could it be that we might not get any this Gen?

Could evolve into Arceus.

As far as I can tell, Queenly Majesty blocks all priority moves, not just increased priority.

Actually, I'm also thinking it not only "blocks" damaging priority moves, it could simply prevent the use of priority moves (i.e. Protect).
