Shush. Very light purple shades are close enough.
KrazyCake, While some people are familiar with the Japanese names, once we know the english names, try to use those. We already knew they were called charjabu and vikavolt, so
those dragons do love their veggies....
edit: it has swarm, oops
I was disapointed to hear that Vikavollt only got Levitate. Sniper or No Guard would have been so cool, but instead, he got a ability that neutralizes a type he isn't even weak to...

that was just a coincidence. This trailer music is different from the previous ones: this was the trainer battle music, while the other trailers have the theme music
read the description on the website. It hates it when those it loves get hurt, then gets angry
edit: it has swarm, oops
that's just baseless speculation about Ash and Serena, being Anime characters, appearing in a game where they haven't done that for so many years. try to reduce speculation like this, its what closes the thread early
it talks about a new element
why do you keep hating on lumineon
the least they could do is make a good ice type for once. We only have Weavile and Ice-Arceus for half devent ice types
no this was there before
I think this is new. From the video on Magearna's section on the official site. It's the same battle showing off Soul Heart, but now it doesn't cut away at the start of the fight and we get to see Magearna's HP. Realistically (i.e. assuming no EVs) its base HP range is 80-95, but factoring in the small possibility of EVs it could be as low as 48. Might be worth noting that the Eevee beside Magearna has 0 IV/0 EVs, so if Magearna shares that trait it would have base 95 HP. Regardless, it seems Magearna is not a straight 100 base Pokemon, though this isn't too surprising after Gen VI took a break from using this uninspired stat spread.
the ash coma theory confirmed
255 is the most you can invest. THere is no limit to how high a base stat can be. Anyway all investments are essentially quartered, because at level 100, 4 ev thingys are
everyone likes nekkoala moore than komala,
oh. I think you want to check this out: http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ go to the legendary filter. There is only two: Solgaleo and Lunala. Tapu Koko is just a normal pokemon.
Actually, they're not talking about EVs.
The way stats currently work is that they can be 255 max due to something to do with bytes. I forget exactly what it was, haven't done computing for years; but it is true that base stats can only be as high as 255.
All Japanese Pokémon's names are written using katakana. Katakana follows the same pronunciation patterns as hiragana and are used for words which are either converted from other languages (e.g. ドライブ (doraibu; drive) or are meant to be taken for their phonetic sound as opposed to their meaning (in this case, names (e.g. トゲデマル (Togedemaru), マーチン (Maachin; Martin)). As such, their pronunciation does not line up with the rules of English pronunciation, and this difference between English pronunciation and katakana pronunciation is where the infamous "Engrish" (a name for the way that Japanese people who are taught English by people who have never lived in an English-speaking country speak said language, which takes the piss out of the fact that words with "L" in them have said character replaced by a r-based katakana) comes from. If you look at Japanese Pokémon names compared to English ones, whenever they share the same or very similar names (e.g. ピカチュウ (Pikachuu; Pikachu) and a lot of Legendary Pokémon (e.g. ゼルネアス (Zeruneasu; Xerneas), ギラチィナ (Girachiina; Giratina))) they are all things which can be easily translated into other languages. Game Freak like to give legendaries global names, and this is a big influence on their choice of Japanese name. That said, as you can see from their Katakana names, the pronunciation rules are not the same as they are in English; namely, Xerneas is pronounced「ゼルネアス」("ze-roo-ne-a-soo") as opposed to "zer-nee-ass", and similarly Giratina is pronounced「ギラチィナ」("gi-ra-chii-na") as opposed to "gi-ra-tee-na", and if you were to take both the Japanese name in romaji form and it's English name and apply English pronunciation rules you would get "Jirachi-na" and "Jiratee-na", respectively, which is quite obviously not how it is pronounced either over here or over there. In the case of legendaries, the English names' pronunciation is based on the Japanese pronunciation--not the other way around--and as such the English rules do not apply to the Japanese names due to the fact that this then extends over all of the Japanese names of Pokémon.
Why do people think this is a forest? I dont get it. There is a ceiling, rock walls on either side, a hole at the very end, Heck, even the part of the source address has cave written right there!

It's the highest number that can be stored in 1 byte (allowing for a stat of 0). 1 byte = 8 bits. 2^8 - 1 = 255.
no i'm talking about the english names. they are pronounced using english grammer. Mokuroh maybe pronounced using japanese grammer, but rowlet is clearly pronounced in a decidedly english way.that was what i meant
i agree that it is a cave, but others may be thrown off by all the plants.

Cutiefly is sad because you already forgot it exists. (Whimsicott as well)
I hope that Rockruff evolves late and ends up powerful. It's clearly going to become a rock wolf, and a rock wolf is an awesome concept for a Pokemon.
I think Rockruff's evolutions are going to be dependent on your starter (or the one in your party). Corocoro stated that the starters and Rockruff hide a secret, and I think said secret has to do with its evolutions. For example, if you have Rowlet in your party and Rockruff reaches, say, level 25, Rockruff will evolve into a Rock/Grass type. The same goes for the other starters (Rock/Fire and Rock/Water). And I know this is a little bit of a stretch, but the breed Rockruff evolves into could depend on its evolution; Rock/Grass could be a Lagotto Romagnolo (due to the breed being used to hunt truffles, a type of mushroom), Rock/Fire could be a Dalmatian (official firehouse dog), and Rock/Water could be a Portuguese Water Dog (do I even need to explain this?) or something similar.
this woud be really cool. It also coulld be like the pan-monkeys in gen 5, where you'd get the one strong against your starter's weakness.
That could be pretty interesting, but one flaw I can see right off the bat is that it means if you started with Rowlett you'd have two grass-types, Popplio two water-types and Litten two fire-types. Unless they went with what Peaswar said.
Screw that, go for broke and give me a wolf made of half-cooled lava for this. Nice mix of rough and smooth lava stone for the body, glowing red eyes and magma spittle.
In fact, I just want to see Rockruff become more rock in general. Bonus points if it somehow ends up as a dire wolf.
Oh mb. I thought u were talking about theit japanese names lol
Even though I'm not calling my Rockruff Ivankov anymore, should I still refer to most Bruxish I catch as OkamaFish? Unless "okama" is censored by the game, I'm going with that.
Also, Magearna is not listed as Legendary on the official website, but Solgaleo and Lunala are. I'm guessing minor Legends, such as Tapu Koko, are considered more like regular Pokémon, such as the legendary chickens of Kanto.

I hope we get an Eon Flute like segment where we can fly around on the back of Drampa Neverending Story Style.Seriously that would be the greatest thing ever.
also hats off to Bruxish for the sick anti-meta ability(that may be the balance bringer that was needed!) On hindset that might be TERRRIFYING in doubles since it could just up and negate Protect.
Also also crossing fingers for the first potentially viable electric rodent since Raichu(yeah, lil guy in my avvy rocks too but I mean in singles.)

it evolves at 28 in the trailer too
Charjabug was shown at level 28 in the Japanese trailer, just before the its evolution sequence was shown. It seems that the charjabug was wild, judging by the lack of a trainer, but the idea that relatively high leveled charjabugs could be found in the wild does support this theory. It makes it feel more like Swadloon and Whirlipede, rather than Metapod or Silcoon. This doesn't mean that level 28 charjabugs will actually be available in the wild, there have been discrepancies in information like this before, but vikavolt being viable in the late game would be nice.
On the whole legendary Pokemon debate, I think the official site updated and now puts the Legendary / Mythical Pokemon in a big box. The exception being Zygarde I guess because there's multiple of them.
If that doesn't indicate that Tapu Koko is 99% a legendary idk what does.

Well I would think they are trying to keep the focus on the new gen legendaries, so keeping Zygarde away makes sense.
I hope the presence of Charjabug in the wild is indicative of a larger trend. I liked how in 5th gen you could rarely find evolved forms and more powerful Pokemon. It makes a lot more sense than every route having primarily first stage Pokemon like Hoenn and Kalos.

Everyone hyped saying that Junichi Masuda talks about new "element".
Fuck google translate!
It's WRONG.
Junichi Masuda didn't talk about new "element" or new "type"-- he was talking about new "features" just like any other game.
Nothing to be hyped.
This is exactly what happens when people think that google translate is good, and get unnecessarily hyped.
