I made the sprite before Zim made the artwork, and since I colored it based on a pencil sketch, there's quite a few differences between my coloration and Zim's

While everyone's hyped up for the new Sun/Moon releases, we ramp up our competition and announce one of our own! Quiksilk, the Clock Pokemon, is a BUG/GROUND type, similar to Nincada in canon. It's a shame there was never a fully evolved Bug/Ground, since it's a pretty neat typing, and Nincada isn't really useful in Little Cup either, so we're here to set that first one straight. EDIT: Wormadam - Sand does not exist. Deal with it. It is said that Quiksilk has the ability to control time, and, while never directly observed by anyone, it is believed Quiksilks can open themselves and stop time when scared or threatened. Like many Ground types, Quiksilk resides in the desert, where it has adapted to the harsh climate. Its abilities are Pressure and Clear Body, both of which provide a niche against opposing attackers. Quiksilk truly shines, however, when it acquires its Hidden Ability, but we'll leave that one for you to figure out. This one is one of the few creations of our former member Elly, and my personal favorite of those she designed. It's kind of her legacy, so to speak That's all for today, folks!

Someone apparently already made a sprite for Rowlet. itwasme

The box art on Serebii shows 7+.

I don't know if this matters at all, but the Moon/Sun box art shows the PEGI 7 rating, while all other Pokemon games, IIRC, are rated "everyone" or 3+. Does this hint at the possibility of getting a more mature story? If so, I'm definitely interested. I don't have a DS though >.<

Why did you decide to leave such a large part of the backstory (I'm talking about the Laura events with the Steelix in Chrysolia ) to a choice-locked event? Only in one of the four (?) possible outcomes, you end up with Laura in that Steelix area, and only then you get to hear her backstory. In all other cases, you're on your own, and as such, you miss what I'd say is a large part of what makes the characters involved who they are. It just struck me as weird how such an important part of the story would not be known by everyone playing through the game only once, and the information, if I recall, isn't even mentioned anywhere later on. Would that information return in the future somehow?

Expected John Cena. Was not disappointed.

I could try making a fjal version of Catherine and see if he accepts it.

I've had this avatar for over a year now. Send help.

Oh god, what have I started... But I might as well join in xD

I threw some of our characters into a Chibi generator for fun, and these are the results. http://www.dolldivin...chibi-maker.php Here, if you'd like to try it yourself

As far as we have discussed it within our team, our "discover it all yourselves" policy simply means we divulge as little gameplay information as possible, except for the bare basics needed to generate keep up hype, like the mon artworks with their types and abilities. This policy is the main reason we aren't going to make a Bulbapedia-like wiki for each of our species and major characters anytime soon. I personally don't see any problem with such a "team showcase" thread, however, since it doesn't really go too deep in any special "I discovered this" things. If such a thread were there, I would urge people, however, to not publicly disclose any of the more "hidden" information such as the ways they got their fancy Egg Moves by breeding our species, or where they found cool hidden items, and the like.

We're back for another announcement! This time, another mon that you'll see pretty soon in Chapter 2. This is one of Calvius' creations, but considering he's been gone for quite a while, it seems that I have the pleasure to announce it. Litichna is the Spiky Ball Pokemon! It resembles the real-life echidna found in Australia, and, if you hadn't guessed already, is of the GRASS type. When it evolves, however, it will gain another type, but I won't reveal which one Like its counterpart from planet Earth, Litichna has a lot of spikes, granting it the Iron Barbs ability. Spiky! It also has the Frisk ability, allowing it to scout an opponent's held item. As usual, we won't reveal the HA, so feel free to speculate on this one Despite its spiky exterior, Litichna isn't well suited for defense, unlike the other Graterran ball better known as Eufur. When it evolves, however, who knows what will happen to it? That's all for today folks!

I never actually got them on my first time trying Black/White, which probably explained my struggle against the first Gym

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-365026078 Clutch Reuniclus is a hero. Also, lots of salt.

Technically, Kutlass was already in Chapter 1, but yeah

Just contributing with my baby Volcarona

I think it's from "Hex" as in "Six" like how a hexagon has six angles, a Hexatis has six... legs. and -atis is from "Mantis", as far as I know.

There's only one rule for using CM Reuniclus: Use a Kee Berry. You have quite some solid outs to Knock Off, like Mienshao and Blastoise, and Escavalier can check most of them. You need only avoid the first Knock Off to make Reuniclus immortal to everything, even Mega Beedrill, except for some Choice Band Sets and powerful Dark Pulse/Shadow Balls before you've set up enough CMs. Of course, phazing is still a large risk as well, but the Kee Berry doesn't change that fact. With those threats removed, all you need to do is bait a weak priority attack such as Bullet Punch Machamp, switch Reuni into it, and laugh as your opponent foolishly struggles to defeat you.

Like a boomerang, the ball that was thrown found its way back into Evelyn's hands. And with it, the fate of the game was once again in her hands. In an attempt to focus, Evelyn shut her eyes as she counted to three... ...and launched the ball towards the hoop with all her might and elegance.

Another ground-breaking (you'll get that pun when you continue reading) announcement sponsored by #FOLD central! Remember when I said this particular thing, which turned into the largest announcement to date? Well, today, we have an even bigger announcement: Who's the culprit to befoul that statement? Who's that blind bandit (pun intended) who befouled my name by virtue of having no eyes? Look no further (again, pun intended), it is right before your eyes (this should go without saying at this point.) Please give it up for Ceramor! Ceramor is a pure GROUND type, and is indeed the first ever Ground type to be announced by us. It is one of the about 20 Pokemon in this project that were designed/concepted by me. This one has quite a strange background in that, since its basic gameplay concept was designed almost specifically to complement a certain other mon in our dex, a mon designed by Tomas, but not yet announced. I decided to give my spin to that idea of Tomas and voila, so became this worm. Its abilities are Dry Skin, a very useful ability for a Ground type as it alleviates your innate Water weakness, and Rain Dish, a generally weaker ability, but still useful if you can't risk losing to sunlight. Ceramor also boasts a rather unconventional evolution method, at least for a Ground type. And, as always, you guys can go ahead and guess this guy's HA. You'll be able to find this Pokemon in certain areas in Chapter 2, but be warned that this mon will be rather rare. When it is raining, however, it becomes much more common in the wild. A few other mons in our Dex (one of which, interestingly, is the aforementioned mon by Tomas) react to weather in the same way, and you'll see that to its fullest extent in the upcoming chapter I was about to make a note how to pronounce Ceramor with a "K" sound for the C, since it is based on "ceramic", but then I looked it up and realised "ceramic" actually starts with an "S" sound as well. Darn you, letter C, why do you have to be so confusing? Feel free to speculate on whatever you like, as long as it doesn't involve putting Ceramor as the first mon in your party when you go fishing, causing it to faint when you cast out your fishing rod but guaranteeing you to catch a high-level fish from Graterras. Oh, who am I kidding. There are no fish in Graterras. Anyways, that's enough for today, folks. Bye!

Ball. Sora. Nicu. A boy named Jake. Evelyn. Seema. Ball. Evelyn hadn't expected a simple game like basketball to be quite this hectic. One of the triplets is rapidly nearing her. Nicu is already bound to the hoop. How do you even throw the ball correctly? But on the playing field, there's no time for thought. She must act. Instinctively, Evelyn attempts a high ball towards her right-hand side, hoping that, in its course, it might just reach Seema. From there, only luck will decide what happens to it.
