Of course.
>Magearna’s real body is the spherical construction in its chest called the Soul-Heart, created by a scientist who gathered the life energy from Pokémon.
>Magearna’s Ability is the Soul-Heart Ability, a new Ability that no previous Pokémon has had. Soul-Heart has the effect of raising Magearna’s Sp. Atk by 1 each time another Pokémon in the area faints. This is a new Ability—one that can be put to good use in battle.

>>26738152
Could it be 10% Zygarde?
>>26738371
Is it confirmed the guardians are pokémon?
What if they're strong trainers?
>>26738246
Yeah agreed anon.
I hope they're not all just tikis but there's going to be an island guardian quartet and a tiki will be at least one of them
>>26738371
Oh shit
>>26738680

There's being dense, then there's just being stupid.

According to someone in another thread Tapu Koko actually means "Holy Blood", I wonder what that could possibly means?
>>26738152
>one who has met with Tapu Koko
Does this mean we get to see the guardian early?
>double battle
>have magearna and normal type pokemon
>magearna uses protect
>normal type exlposion
>kills 3 pokemon
>magearna 3x sp atk up
>>26738822
Just use tail glow on Manaphy.
>>26738799
ooooo that might be why treehouse jumped to after we get our starter to show in the livestream.
Maybe after moving to the island you go down to the beach and catch a glimpse of it before it goes into the ocean or something. Then you get your starter.
>>26738799
Probably something like this;
>Player doing their thing on island 1
>Meet gym leader 1, win
>See something that leads you into the forest
>Suddenly see Topu Koko
>Receive its guidance
>Everyone surprised, praises you
>Suggests you go visit the other three shrines to see if they can offer you guidance as well
>By the time you meet the fourth guardian, you've toppled the enemy team and are preparing for the league
>Upon beating the champion, the four guardians commend you on winning, or something spiritual like "you were true to your heart" or some shit
>>26738839
Soul Heart is safer and gives you the option to use Autotomize at the same time as the other one uses Memento
>>26738371
TAP KOK
>>26738247
So every Pokemon game?
>>26738866
Nah dumbo, the village chief says you met with Top Kek before the fight with the rival dude. It's probably right at the beginning of the game, when you move in, either right before or right after you get your starter
>>26738152
Meaning we would have more sort of, smaller scale, Legendaries? Or just rare Pokemon with high BST?
>>26738371
Not only that, but Yungoos is practically Trump's shouldermon.
PRAISE KEK
>>26738152
This is the first instance where Pokemon names used spaces right? If we take Tapu Koko as a Mon.
>>26738866
What if meeting with the guardians replaces gyms?
There are no noticeable gyms on the map
>>26738610
No, where would you get that from?
The 4 guardians are solgaleo, lunaala, Xerneas and Yveltal
>>26738974
Tapu Koko is probably just a local name for it. It's probably gonna be Xygarde Complete
>>26738798
It's based on Guido Jesus
> 4 guardian pokemon
> Each one guards one of Zygarde's cores
> The middle white core has been Zygarde's core all along and the red and blue one had nothing to do with Xerneas and Yveltal
> Or maybe Xerneas and Yveltal are the other 2 guardians and they were not originally from Kalos.
>big baddie comes along and you have to work with the guardians to form 100% Zygarde in order to stand a chance
>yfw
>>26739008NOOOOOOOOO. I don't hate that guy, just have your own lore. Not as being one of the Island Guardians of Aloha. Besides, his home is actually in Kalos but let's see how it goes.
>>26738152
>story and lore
>saving the franchise
holy shit could you BE any more WRONG jesus fucking christ
start with the fucking gameplay
who the fuck plays pokemon for a story
>>26739091
Alright, what a sour ass.
So basically the four guardians are the Regis and Box Legendary.
>>26739121
Nope.
>>26739116
>game is literally for five year olds in terms of difficulty
>this new entry is being made for three year olds
Oh, but at least they gave you a nice pop-up book so you can enjoy it!
if you want a story go watch the anime
>>26738371
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hcSpSC8T0M
>>26738983
>No visible gyms
Ever since we get to know Kalos, in some regions, they don't practice uniformity in the gym designs like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh so Aloha would probably be another addition. They're just hidden in our plain sight, anon.
>>26738999
>Xerneas and Yveltal
>>26738323
>Sp. Atk Moxie but better in doubles
OH BABY
>>26739220
Tapu Koko roughly translates to sacred blood. That could easily mean Yveltal but it could also be something completely different. What if the reason Zygarde was stuck in 50% mode in XY was because only Xerneas and Yveltal were nearby?
>>26738371
>>26738983
>"Guardians" are thematic tribals that use Pokemon attributed to the guardian (Drought team for the Solgaleo Guardian, etc)
>each gives you a piece of an item
>once you get all 4, you're allowed to confront the cover legend
Changes the formula, gives "gyms" some much needed plot relevancy, might be cool
But anon, Guardian Pokemon are literally Iwanko's final evolution and the starter's final evolution!
You are such a baka OP.
>>26738152
Every Pokémon game has a lot of lore though. Some more than others I guess. And some more interesting than others.
We can have a comfy lore thread without spitting on the past games, you know.
>>26739295
> the three starters and Iwanko might hide a secret
> anon comes out with this
> mfw
hey guys check this out
http://maoridictionary.co.nz/word/7504
translate tapu
and translate koko
tapu means forbidden and koko means wind
forbidden wind
flying type legend confirmed for starting island
>>26738152
What if the guardians are just zygarde cells you have to bring together to form 10 50 and 100% versions to stop the villain team from using cover pokes
>>26738371
It's too good to be true
>>26738983
Anon gyms haven't looked exactly the same since Gen 4, since Black and White they've been distinct and unlike any other building in the games. You can't find any on the map because you don't know what exactly you're looking for.
GUYS
>>26740231
HOLY FUCK DEEPEST LORE
>>26739091
>who the fuck plays pokemon for a story
I do
Gen 5 was great
>>26740231
That palace was all about Gen 5 though.
Although if your idea ends up being right, I'd be happy, it's a damn cool idea.
>>26740334
Pokefags think BW was a "good story"
>>26740231
>Chandelure, Solrock, Pyroar and Nothing?
What?
>>26739091
I do. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is great.
>>26740371
Opinions. It was, undeniably, the largest push in the franchise to have a more focused and important story. Whether you liked it or not is not important to the discussion.
>>26739062
Zygarde is dead, give up.
>>26738999
>The 4 guardians are solgaleo, lunaala, Xerneas and Yveltal
>mfw
>>26740909
Can't be, we know for a fact from the trailer that Lunaala and Solgaleo are interchanged and found on the same island.
So;Xerneus, Yveltal, Lunaala/Solgaleo, ZygardeThere's even a giant tree on the second island of the map, fitting in with Xerneus's lore.
>yfw they really are just putting any planned Z story elements into S/M
I bet the Regional trio is the Johto Beasts, too.
>>26740980
Nevermind, I am retarded, the giant tree is on the same island that Solgaleo/Lunaala is found
>>26740980
They could be breaking tradition and going with a regional quad.
>>26738744

>>26741108
Enjoying your break from school, champ?
Well other than the hamfisted Delta Episode, ORAS did have the best handled story and characterization yet, even if it was based off an old framework.
>>26741108
This can't be true...
>>26741138
>>26741170
hook line and sinker
>>26741167
Literally how?
>>26741183
>everything is bait meme
Nah, anon. That was really a summerfag, come on
>>26738974
Mr. Mime
>>26738374
Wow now I'm excited
>yfw hentai doujin is made where a thicc fem trainer meets Tapu Cocko
>>26738152
>Pokemon becomes Zelda
>Zelda becomes Xenoblade 2.0
I like this
>>26739281
The items they give you could be the diamonds on the bracelet. Hence why it looks like there's more than one slot on each bracelet
>>26738152
Like so many invasive species that now run amuck on islands around the world, mongooses were intentionally introduced to Hawaii. Sugar cane farmers took their cue from Jamaican plantation owners who imported mongooses to control rat populations.
http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/hisc/info/invasive-species-profiles/mongoose/
Yungoose is based on Mongoose being brought to Hawaii to control rat overpopulation.
>>26738371
>>26740231
ITS ROTOM-DEX
>>26738152
Madness I tell you, FUCKING MADNESS!
What if Ho-Oh is the guardian of the island with the Tin/Bell Tower replica?
>>26742517
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZeYVIWz99I
>>26739008
Tape Koko translates to Holy Blood
>>26740980
GUYS I think the vixtory road will not be a cave this time. It will be that big construction in the middle of the map. And the league will be the big house behind it. That, or something about the evil team
>>26738371
Oh tits.
>>26742672
/pol/ confirmed

HAIL TAPU KOKO
HAIL TAPU KOKO
HAIL TAPU KOKO
>>26742628
what if it's A FUCKING NEW POKEMON?
>>26742628
>Ho-Oh having any prominence in the plot
You know they won't allow it because of the anime.
>>26742628
>Lake is shaped like Yungoos
It was there all along.
the real question is, is the pokemons actual name tapu koko or is that what the islanders call it
>>26738371
fuck
I'm laughing so hard now
>>26742811
>tapu koko
Probably what the islanders call it.
>>26740980
Maybe Marshadow is one of them.
>>26738246
The four chinese things, black tortoise, white tiger, vermilion bird & azure dragon all with tiki masks/designs, pls. One on each island.
>>26740231
What is the top left one?
>>26743035
are you new?
>>26741183
I was just pretending to be retarded
>>26738152
Betting on legendary trio for the first 3 islands, Box Legend for the 4th with the first three assisting, and then the third Legend being on the artificial island/Magearna shenanigans there.
>>26738371
You've made my night. Thank you.
>>26738371
>>26740980
I hope the guardians are based on a Four Elements kind of deal. I know it's cliche as fuck, but I like it.
Far left, earth, middle left water, middle right fire, far right air. Go for a Tiki feel and make them all grass secondary types for their mask/faces.
Ground/Grass, Water/Grass, Fire/Grass, Flying/Grass.
>>26741108
Its a meme you dip
>>26739281
>"Guardians" are thematic tribals that use Pokemon attributed to the guardian (Drought team for the Solgaleo Guardian, etc)
>each gives you a piece of an item
>once you get all 4, you're allowed to confront the cover legend
And then we can race Wizpig.
>>26738152
Interesting. New legendaries.
:)
>>26745481
Cheating fucking bastard
>>26741108
>>26741183
haha
I would like to see a story with the legends not being captured until after the league.
