[spoiler=IT'S AN ENEMY STAND]

Vpsjfwx.jpg

 

 

 

- Nothing really new to add to Silvally

- So I guess Kommo-o is basically a Komodo dragon? Definitely on my team.

- Still waiting on a multi-type grass type. Definitey prefer the mantis over Tsareena.

- Tho dat booty

- "'Trop' Kick" made me laugh

- Ribombee looks like it'll suck unless there's a third form tbh

- Wisconsin Smash aka MuK.LyFe is going apeshit over Alolan Muk

- Alolan Muk has normal Muk's hidden ability as its normal ability, so that's really cool. Wonder what its hidden ability is? Still wonder what its stat spread is.

- Kahuna uses exclusively Rock types apparently. Guess that means the old dude uses electric? There've certainly been enough electrics shown off so far to fit the bill.

- I GUESSED THE NORMAL TRIAL CAPTAIN RIGHT YEAH!

- He's still super funking pretty

Olivia has a cool design. I'm not one to look for it, but Pokemon has been increasing its non-white major character count a bit of late hasn't it?

 

Ilima looks fine. I love how just by looking at him you can tell he is a normal trainer.

 

"Silvally is said to have been created to oppose a threat..." I wonder what that threat is. And wow, they are really hamming in the Arceus connection. I find that the most interesting thing about Silvally.

 

Alolan Grimer changed because they were used to eat garbage. And man, I love the colors on Alolan Muk.

 

Kommo-o looks really sweet in game. Was hoping for it to be part Steel, but maybe that type combo is too good on a normal Pokemon.

 

Ribombee is too adorable.

 

As is Steenee. And wow, the legs on Tsareena. Another anti-priority ability is interesting.

 

Also, the music in the English trailer is really sweet.

I wonder if that means the island guardian is Rock Type. I had expected Water/Grass/Fire/Electric but that was pure blind guessing.

I still cant get over the fact Alola Muk is, basically, made of ink- his color scheme is CMYK, and I highly doubt eating just garbage would lead to something like that- We've seen Garbodor/etc and they are basically just that, so I highly doubt Muk's Pokedex entry is entirely true.

The dex entries are rarely correct. 
 
Anyway, general thoughts since I'm later than usual at watching this.

  • Nothing much on Silvadi aside from English name; same goes for Jangmo-o's evolutionary line (I'll want them for team whenever we can get them in-game)
  • Iffy on Bounsweet's evolutions, well the final one anyway; middle is fine. 
  • Cutiefly got an evolution (well, least that other one). Otherwise, nothing more I can grade it on. 
  • Another Island Kahuna; well, this should be interesting. (Japanese trailer gives her a Night form of Lycanroc; wonder if it'll change depending on version.)
    • For those of you who need a translation, ʻĀkala translates to "pink" (writing this with proper orthography). If they are naming the islands after colors, you can look up the others on Google [i already told you what "melemele" translates to, and that's yellow. 
  • Yeah, Ilima is pretty, though that's all I'm saying of him outside of him being in charge of that trial area we first saw. 
  • Alolan Muk/Grimer are okay for the most part; though I wasn't fond of them much.

They did show HP values in the JP trailer, but all I got out of it was Bruxish has 128 HP at Level 50, and Kommo-o has some value ending in 4 at level 50 (probably somewhere in the 150-160 range; the quote box went over it).

Silvally is a cool name that's for sure.
Also forgot to mention but the JangMO'O line is wonderful.
OMG STEENEE AND TSAREENA ARE AMAZING
Rainbow Muk is like 10X better than normal Muk
Olivia is a cool name
I get the feeling these captains are closer to Gym Leaders than we thought but probably with a more focus on the pre-battle stuff

Silvally is actually kinda cool. Might look into using it at some point.

I want to use Kommo-o too. Looks pretty cool.

Ribombee is adorable.

Tsareena is neato.

Alolan Muk is oil this is great. XD

 

New trainers are coolio. I thought Ilima was a girl at first though.

Actually, most of the characters in the franchise are Asian, since the first 4 regions were based on Japan (nowithstanding the artwork aspiring to make them "universal", or at least what Japanese consider "universal"). Only after Unova have they finally started featuring actual white people prominently (though at least they allowed us to choose different skin tones for the PCs since Kalos).

Though all I REALLY care about is getting badges. Badges and other knick knacks like that are like candy to me.

 

If the Trial Captains are the equivalent of Gym Leaders, are they going to have badges or some other measure to mark what Level of Pokemon will obey you at a certain point in the game? I would assume they will, but we'll have to see. (Otherwise, what's to stop us from importing / trading high Level Pokes in the early game for our own use.)

I totally forgot that badges even do that. With bank making moving Pokemon a TON easier they are going to need something to have that functionality.
