What do farmers think of Pokemon Sun and Moon starters? What about the region being set in a Hawaii theme?

Which version will you buy? Which starters will you choose? Discuss here!

I love everything about this new version, it's so fresh and cute, I just feel weird about it being released in november when it take place in such a sunny environment.

I will probably get the moon version, because I really like the bat-moon design of the legendary. And because I'm just emo like that.

It's been a while since I really liked the starters, for the last 3 generation I didn't even kept them because they where too ugly / boring.

Those are it? The cat's ok. The owl's alright. But Popplio looks ridiculous. It really does. Like a kid's cereal mascot from the 60s or 70s. It's that silly nose. I already hate it as much as that god awful bag lady fox and that chestnut thing. Chestnaught? I only liked the frog. It was the only last gen starter that wasn't awful looking. It's hard to screw up a frog.

We know Rowlet is most likely going to be grass/flying in its final evo. The only other Pokemon of that typing that I can think of is Tropious. I hope their hidden abilities are great.

Do they actually release a new pokemon game every 1-2 years? I feel like I bought Pokemon X not too long ago and only because it was in 3D and wanted to check it out. The last one I played before that was Black/white. They're all the same game essentially.

I think they should make another eevee except flying type.
Not another evolution of eevee though. I mean another weak pokemon with several strong evolutions. Except it's evolutions would all be flying type as well, so fire/flying, water/flying, etc.

tbh for the starters, my list of preference goes litten>popplio>rowlet. I really cannot understand the hype for rowlet… but maybe it's because I'm not a bird person?

>>91738
iirc, XY was released in at the end of 2013 and then ORAS was 2014… so it's really seeming like that, yeah.

>>91771
This sounds really cool. What I'd love is if they did something like this, start with types that Eevee doesn't already have (like steel, ghost, or dragon) so it wouldn't give the feel of being an Eevee copy.

I kinda agree with that other anon about hoping it's the last game for a bit.

It's getting a bit much for me to handle. And some of the more recent pokemon have been a little underwhelming.

This, these new starters are cute but eh.. you can tell they're running out of ideas.

I'm excited, but I recently just sold my 3DS as I needed some quick money and hadn't touched it in a long time. I'm really hoping that the characters can be customisable like X/Y, it makes things feel a little bit more personal.

A bit silly, but I really want to like Litten, it's just that I can't stand the colour scheme, black and red screams edgy, emo, etc to me. Hopefully a shiny version can be it's saving grace. Popplio looks too goofy. Rowlet has a nice design, it's a shame it's a grass/flying type as I don't typically use grass Pokemon. I can't wait to see the evolutions of all of them though.

All games have brought in something new, yes, but honestly things like mega evolution and alola forms are just grasping at straws and after gen1 there has only been 3 new types, two of them which were introduced in gen2. I also never liked double battles after the initial hype died. There just has never been such a huge stride of advancement as there was with gen1 and gen2, they've implemented small changes in every generation but they're small.

No. 108118

me and my friend got matching sun and moon necklaces in anticipation for the coming games lol. i got a sun one and she got moon. go figure which of us is getting which version lmao.

honestly i think some of the Alolan forms are really cute - Vulpix and Ninetales are really pretty and i find Raichu cute as well.

i've only played HeartGold and X, both of which i really enjoyed. i thought the generations after GSC seemed really weak so X came as a nice surprise for me. i also appreciated the fact that the legendaries weren't fuck ugly, since most if not all legendaries since GSC have been hideous imo.

because i feel like they started getting stuff right again in XY, i do actually have hopes for this and coming generations. some of the stuff they revealed for Sun & Moon seemed weird and somewhat pointless to me but overall i think it could be really nice.

It's been getting a lot of attention both internationally and in Japan, no one knows for sure if it's real or fake.

One of the reasons it's gotten so much attention is because it was supposedly leaked before the starters were even revealed. If you look closer at the Litten picture, you'll see both Poppleo and Rowlet. None of them had apparently been revealed at the time the image was "leaked". You can also see a character (one of the trial captains) that was officially revealed only recently.

I'm too lazy to find sources rn but it shouldn't be too hard to find yourself, considering what a topic this alleged "leak" has become.
