Just got an idea: What if that thing in Lillie's bag is Solgaleo's/Lunala's pre-evo?
That's the million dollar question.

Pikipek's final evo does really stand out as all the previous regional birds ended up looking rather majestic. Its just a toucan. A nice-looking toucan admittedly, but still just a normal-looking toucan. It doesn't look like something that could peck quickly either, reducing my hopes for a five hit pecking move.
How so? I don't see either one being any more or less likely, personally.
Which doesn't mean we're actually getting a water Arcanine, but still...
TBH I'm more disappointed that like, half the Dex is gen 1.Going back a bit, but if i'm counting right (excluding all the alternative forms) that's...304 pokemon?
And a lot of those are legendaries or ultra beasts which are probably post game
Now that's pretty lame. XY's pokedex was fun because it was 457. It's barely bigger than BW2's. I was hoping 450 would be the standard
The toucan is a huge disappointment.

the worst part is they did learn
they carefully removed everyone after Hakamo-o
They made sure to alter all the stats of everyone else not in the demo to be pikachu
scrubbed all but 4 new moves and a handful of known moves and replaced them with pound
got rid of all the unneeded abilities (Jangmo-o & Hakamo-o don't even have Soundproof)
culled any non-demo text
which just makes that they messed up this badly even worse
Aside from being just a toucan, it is not even stylized. It is literally just a toucan, specifically a White-throated toucan.It makes absolutely no sense sure, but I don't see how it's a disappointment.
The Toucan is actually the first regional bird I genuinely like. All the other birds looked very samey , even their colour schemes started to get repetitive after a while and all of them gained at least some bird of prey characteristics, thier proportions were similar in almost all of them...boring imho and the only thing that marginally elevated Talonflame above the rest was its fire typing (it's design was still fairly run of the mill for a regional bird) They were pretty much Pigeot Mark II, III, IV and V.
The Toucan however? It's completely unique form the other regional birds and based off of a very unusual species of bird. It's the first regional bird I'm considering putting on my team.
Arctic Foxes are an actual thing in the real world. Dogs that live underwater (or have adopted a truly aquatic lifestyle) aren't.

... Oh wow, I was just reading that article. I guess that part passed me, lol.

There were 3 new moves that have been found in the datamine. Throat Chop, Aurora Veil, and Laser Focus. Somehow, I think these are level up moves for the starters. And they make sense too. Let's see if we can theorize how they fit with the starters.
Throat Chop: Damaging move that cancels a pokemon using sound based moves for two turns. (Gardevoir and Sylveon are getting abused this gen) Such a savage and brutal move sounds like a Dark type move, since most of them are based off savage and dirty tactics. Now I believe this move belongs to Litten's line, because now I without a shadow of a doubt, can say Luchalitten is Fire/Dark. It was said in it's concept art that it loves to cheat and fight dirty. Boy, what does that sound like?
Aurora Veil: Halves physical and special damage for 5 turns. Basically Reflect and Light Screen put into one. I'm mixed with this being a Water move or Fairy move. I feel like it's the latter. Anyway this sounds perfect for Popmaid.
Laser Focus: Guarantees a critical hit next turn. Come one that move is perfect for Arrowl. An archer has laser focus to attack targets. How is that not meant for Arrowl?
Anyway, what do you guys think of these moves?

Laser Focus: Guaranteed crit next turn.
Gigavolt Havoc CANNOT MISS.
Is throat chop a really good move that can be used? As well is there any other datamine news that we should expect?
Gamefreak is so dumb but I love it.
Did they not learn ANYTHING from the ORAS demo??? They have to scrub every single thing off because you know someone in the community is gonna find whatever is left.
Why does Pokemon even need a demo lmao
