Honestly, I like Incineroar's design. At first, I was dissapointed it was another bipedal fire type. Then, I realized that it looked like the Garmraid from Super Robot Wars. Heck, its Darkest Lariat even looks the the strongest move you can use with Garmraid...minus the spinning. That's when it won me over.

The attack in question:

I'm just glad there finally is an actual tiger, besides Raikou which is not even really a tiger.

But the name is lazy and it sucks. Especially since Pyroar exists. Couldn't they have made a more creative pun? Tigristle? Sabrawl? Roguier? Anything but Incineroar.

Sigh.

Also it's seven generations in and we still don't have anything close to a dolphin, besides Kyogre by technicality. Wth, GF.

Tapu Fini when it closes completely is a dolphin looking thing so there you go. :):P

Remember how the genies were palette-swapped and then the Therian formes had different designs? I hope the same happens to the Tapus, since Fini does not resemble a dolphin at its current state. And no, Viri, Kyogre is an orca and common dolphins are still nowhere to be found in the pokemon world.

Unless they have a Mediterranian country in mind for their next games (the seas are filled with dolphins there), I cannot justify them for not giving one to Hawaii. Even something weird like a Rock dolphin living on a lake atop a mountain would do.

Considering I'm pretty sure S/M are getting proper sequels ala BW2, alternate forms aren't that unlikely though I don't see the tapus getting them tbh. I don't really care for dolphins so it doesn't matter -that- much to me though.

Am I the only one who likes:

Incineroar

Yungoos

Pyukumuku

and

Cosmog?

I see so much hatred for Incineroar and it makes me sad.

The only thing I don't like on this list is Yungoos tbh. While I agree the name isn't very inspired, I do like the design of Incineroar itself. Just not compared to the other starters :P

I'm still holding off on planning a team because I have no idea about Pokemon availability but...I'm fairly sure that Mimikyu, Alolan Vulpix, and Bounsweet are going in my party as soon as possible, no matter what else I have. I don't even care if Mimikyu sucks gameplay-wise (though I hope it doesn't), I just feel compelled to use it at some point. Jangmo-O's line, Oranguru, the anchor thing, Wimpish, that sand castle, etc. and a lot more Pokemon all look cool too, so we'll see what I do with those...

I like him for the personality more so than the design, which while still good was not exactly what I wanted. His personality is great though, fucking classic. I bet he'd spout cheesy one liners and be the chill elder brother.

Praise the Yungoos/Gumshoos. Love that thing. Detective Gumshoes, Edgeworth...who's next from Ace Attorney?

I think when designing the pokemon for this generation, Game Freak was keeping VGC in mind. A lot of the slower pokemon could work with Trick Room teams that are pretty common in doubles.

Well we got what it probably the final trailer before the release of the games, and it basically shows some Z-moves and Ultra Beasts

I love the Ultra Beast theme

This debunks the idea that Ghost would become super effective against Fairy in SM. Primarina's z move looks amazing.

Don't know why people thought that would happen in the first place. :huh:

As for the new trailer I loved all the new z moves for the starters, though primarina looks like she is straining herself, the new UBs are horrifying, especially gluttony, and alohan dugtrio's typing is kinda weird as it doesn't look like a steel type but lucario doesn't look like one either, so its fine.

People thought Ghost might become super effective on Fairy because doing so would complete a triangle with the starters' secondary types, since Fairy > Dark and Dark > Ghost. (although Incineroar's Fire typing cancels out Dark's Fairy weakness) This was done in Gen 6 and in Gen 4. I'm actually glad it wasn't changed, since Gen 6 introduced a new type + some changes in Steel no longer resisting Ghost and Dark. So I'd rather the type chart stay where it is for now instead of having to adjust again for a new gen.
