I hope Alola forms are accessible in future, non-Alola games.. otherwise I don't see too much point in having them as a one-off..

But all in all, awesome amount of news :D

So each Island has a trial master and a big boss man.. which makes 8 "Leaders", so not too far from the standard Gym system.

Ice-Ninetails... with typing that makes it inferior to regular ninetails in every way....

Guys. That girl Mallow. That's the girl from the starter evo concept art.

I hope we can still get the original Vulpix, Ninetales, Execcutor, Sandshrew and Sandslash without requiring transfer from XYORAS. Was planning on trying a Sun team with Ninetales.

A lot of awesome stuff revealed. Bit miffed that Execcutor's new form is just a form rather than a Mega but the rest was awesome. Getting to properly control the Pokemon you mount is a huge step up from mounting in XY and Lurantis is most likely going to be Pokemon number 6 for my in game team.

WTF WAS THAT!?

I'm sorry but they have changed waaaaaay too much, alternate forms with new typings, no gyms, the starters that leaked are real (due to the one of the female characters being on the Fire starter concept art)

I get Gamefreak wanted to change things from the norm, but this is too much, it feels like they've tried too hard.

As much as I was loving this game, I feel that these things have ruined it for me now....

I checked, they do look kind of similar but not confirmed yet.
It's not confirmed, but it's pretty much confirmed.

Welp, I'm going Team Real on the concepts now.

The leaks were legit and the new info are insane too... wow.

Ice/Steel Sandshrew is the new definition of awesomeness in my book.

So happy.

Well i don't have any problem with any of the new forms or Pokemons except Aloha form Exeggutor.

Its not like i don't understand the concept behind its design, but it is still odd. Maybe if its base body wasn't that small compared to its neck, then maybe it wouldn't have felt that odd to me.

Also how does a tree like pokemon like an Exeggutor, suddenly become part Dragon?
It doesn't have any form of dragonic features to it.

I'm... I mean... I'm kind of speechless lol. My initial reaction is that I really, really don't like it. It just seems like such a ridiculous concept, like a kid or a fan artist would dream up when they're bored. There are better ways to keep older Pokemon relevant (megas?) than weird *** new forms. Hopefully it'll grow on me but for now I'm really not on board. Oh, and Exeggutor is part DRAGON? What even.

Z Moves seems cool though, I'm honestly kind of surprised we haven't had something like this before now.

Huh, so Z-Moves require the Pokemon to be holding a Z-Crystal...

And the dance moves are still way too cringe-inducing.

pardon the language but HOLY SH1T! they were right. new types for older pokemon, exclusive to alola, no gym leaders but instead trials and then battling the kahunas and the bird that changes types depending on the island.

i have to check the trailer several more times but for now i'll say LOOOOOL alola form exeggutor is a DRAGON!?

And it's here! that one pokemon that immediately clicked with me. luranis is AWESOME, it's already one of my favorites ever and i hope it's not the only one :)

All very interesting. This update had lots of good info. Like hte Idea of Z-Moves. Its also nice to have the name. I am curious about the Aoloa Forms as well. How many old Pokemon will be like this? Are only the forms for those caught and hatched in Sun and Moon only. Like will my old Ninetails switch to Ice/Fairy when I transfer it or will it stay the same? so many questions.
