>Rowlet is a Grass/Flying Pokémon.
>Its model is standing instead of "flying".
You know what that means? SKY BATTLES ARE GONE! NOW (most) FLYING/FLOATING POKÉMON WON'T HAVE A RETARDED MODEL LIKE IN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION!
Actually, some fliers (mostly pre-evolved forms) were standing in their animations (see: Pidgey, Murkrow, Gengar) and thus ineligible for Sky Battles despite otherwise meeting the requirements. We'll have to see its final evolution (and other flying-types, just to be sure) to be certain that Sky Battles are gone and the animations fixed.
I'm hopeful, but it's not a sure bet anyway.
>>26260913
or they made it so that flying pokes can stand AND fly
Nah its first form just can't sky battle
The next form will be gliding in midair don't worry : ^ )
I made an idea, what Rowlet looks like barn owl, in the second stage more like eagle-owl with big "bowtie" leaf. Maybe it possible in the future the similar design of this second evolution.
literally my uncle in the right
>cuck owl
>>26260885
weird, I found shiny mega art already.
Gen 5 = Historical themed starters
Gen 6 = RPG themed starters
Gen 7 = Entertainment themed or circus themed
Popplio = seal at a circus.
Litten = Burlesque dancer or circus lion.
Rowlett = the Ring Master or a 1900 slapstick caricature (bowtie, fake eyes, fake nose)
Thoughts?
>>26260780
I think you have absolutely nothing to base that off of considering the other 2 themes weren't readily apparent from the base forms so there's no reason to guess these would
Also bow tie = ring leader is such a reach
>>26260780
Litten is the (human) cannonball.
>>26260780
a fools guess
Check out the names at the top of the screen, There are 4 of them and 8 people, All 8 of them are silhouettes. E4 names confirmed? You can see that the silhouettes have different poses.
Caitlin Pablo Haku and Ed
i doubt it. The hawaiian kid at the end is named Hoku. i think its just the kids' name.
>>26260778
Are we sure Haku isn't a typo of Hoku, and those aren't just the kids in the class?
>Caitlin
>>26260921
Kind of?
I picture something more on the back of his head, with the mouthing being some demonic slits with clown makeup "covering" it?
Also, I sperged so hard and forgot to put second evolution.
A water/ghost spooky clown seal would be pretty cool
In the first video released the other month it says that it will all come together for the 20th anniversary while showing the previous games. What's your prediction on how things will come together, or is it purely marketing speak?
fuck off, phonefag.
>>26260705
It just mean people from all regions go to alola on vacation
Would be cool to see people from the other regions come to Alola with their Pokemon. Get a rematch with the ratata.
So /vp/, how ready is your body for more water?
I've been waiting for the glorious return of water routes since Fire Red/Leaf Green.
>>26260698
If there's no more HMs, I'll dive underwater all day erryday.
>>26260698
I'm actually neutral about it.
GET THE FUCK IN HERE
Oh, and this isn't be the entirety of Sun and Moon, i-is it?
Will go back to Kalos
yup, that's the entire region, deal with it and stop crying, we already made peace with it, you are too late to complain about it
>this is really going to be a thing isn't it
No, this isn't going to be all of SM
The Japanese names for the starters are confirmed to be those from the leaked trademarks. It's probably totally safe to assume the other three are for our new legendary trio as well.
Probably, but the spellings won't be exact since those are fan romanizations.
>>26260645
>Marshadow
Oh I just got it. Sun, Moon, and the shadow of the eclipse.
I wonder what it'll look like.
>>26261380
>yfw it's a shitty multi-form mon just like Zygarde and Kyurem
yawn
What's its name again?
if i recall, its name was pikachu
roothoot
Dr. Whoot
where were you when these lookedjust as goodas the real thing?
>>26260557
Seal looks better, other two are worse than official ones
Well... it IS an OWL, a CAT, and a SEEL... Same exact animals.
Why cant we have that seel instead of popplio..
>>26260557
I like the water type better, that's it

So far so good anon, you've summed it up well. Although I honestly didn't like the starters at first. They just felt so underwhelming. But the circus act is now peaking my interest
>>26260409
>all starters are perfect
Opinion.
>great box art legendaries
Opinion.
>no more grid based movement, world seemingly completely 3d like the gamecube games
Its going to be a smaller game as a result based on the small as fuck region.
>beautiful, colorful region
Reuses same assets like skybox.
>no more chibi proportions
Only good imlrovement.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
i hope the new megas are good. there's no way they'd scrap them entirely after putting so much effort into them, but i at least we saw at least one hint of them in today's trailers.
Which is your favorite Ghost type /vp/?and why is it gengar
>Is it Gengar.
Damn right it is.
>>26260291
Haunter for sure!
Is it just me or does this region seem kind of small?
It really does, looks like it has a total of 3-4 actual towns/cities, a northern route that leads to a little lagoon and island. Two little house areas, which one is probably the starting location, a Volcano and Beach, and some islands, and the little plateau area near the lagoon and northern cave.
It seems stupidly small honestly. Are we gonna get like 2-3 Gyms just in the City alone?
>>26260249
This is just one island. There's most likely going to be more.
>>26260418
Maybe you can go on several of the islands, just like the real Hawaii
/an/ here.
Spoilers: Rowlet is going to evolve into an Ornimegalonyx.
>all grass starters are based off prehistoric animals
>Ornimegalonyx is the only even slightly well known prehistoric owl
>Rowlets description talks about it's powerful kicks
>Ornimegalonyx had long legs so kick fighting makes sense when put on a pokemon.
You are pretty much guaranteed to have it's final evo at least resemble one.
WELP
what prehistoric animal was gen 6 based on?
>>26260206
>MUH PATTERNS
Fuck off, its going to evolve into Roothoot.
