I like the idea of a turtle dragon but the execution is terrible. It's quite strange to think that it's the first Fire/Dragon pokemon that isn't a mega-evo or a Legendary.

There's literally infinite ideas out there, they just seem to be terrible at designing them, you only have to see some of the fanmade designs to see that, I could come up with a dozen ideas better than what we've seen so far

It's going to annoy me that the crab isn't a water type

there are like 3 other water crabs tbf, but i don't even know why they another crab in general, do something different :rolleyes:

literally everything on here is better than it

I want a tropical octopus pokemon

Apparently it's based on a coconut crab that can't swim.

I was much more excited for X and Y than I am for these games tbh

The island challenge just doesn't seem interesting and I don't want no gyms

Me too tbh.

I'll fume if they've done away with the gyms, the island challenges look naff.

I kinda feel like these games are gonna be piss easy like X&Y again..

Bought a 3DS XL for this.

Does anyone know if they'll upgrade Pokemon Bank? If so, I'll probably be getting that game then and move all my pokemon from Gen 4 all the way to Gen 7 then.

They are - they're making it so that you can transfer your Pokemon from the yellow, red and blue downloads. It's rumoured that's how you access the Aloan forms

It's really annoying how XP share levels up your whole team rather than just the one Pokemon like it used to

yeah it makes gaining a level feel less special

I liked the EXP share, it made switching your team up way easier and grinding out levels is boring anyway.

Yeah I'm torn about EXP share. In X & Y I used it so I could have about 3-4 teams of pokemon ( and choose which ones to use at each gym) but it made me feel less connected to them as in the earlier gens I would stick with the same 6 pokemon the whole way through)

the first pic is apparently the final forms of the starters

Bye at another fire/fighting type

I'm actually a fan of the fire and grass evolutions if that proves to be true! I'm unsure of the water one at the moment… I'll have to wait and see how it looks in the game.

I think it's Fire/Dark

those pics have been around for months, apparently they're real though

They are. It leaked with the Alola forms rumor.


They ****ed up Litten overall. I'll stick with the Grass and Water for this game.

they all suck tbh

new pokemon designer for gen 8 plz

Ugh, definitely looks like another Fire/Fighting starter. The water starter looks interesting though, could be Water/Fairy?

New Rattata form Dark/Normal.

I'm crying at Snorlax's Z move :laugh2:
