I meant more like "is the leak gonna be discussed willy nilly with random images/fan art time to time" rather than "important leak stuff that hasn't been released from gf gets spoilered". Don't mind the reference to Robingroot above since that tells me nothing but "grass type evo" :V I outie'd from the thread then too but things quietened after GF posted the next video.

I just realized something: how the heck does Alola Vulpix evolve? Sandshrew evolves by level up and Exeggcute using a leaf stone would still make sense. But Vulpix uses a Fire Stone to evolve.
I wonder - are totem Pokémon going to be catchable? I mean, they're clearly not the same as standard wild Pokémon, but the only other time we couldn't catch a (technically) wild Pokémon was when Ghetsis's staff was interfering during the BW2 battle with Kyurem.
Also, I can think of no good reason that Formantis and Lurantis aren't Bug-type except that Game Freak didn't want to condemn another evolution chain to the awfulness of Grass/Bug.

Well, it's the bulkier Pokemon like Landorus-T and Hippowdon who need the items least competitively, I'm sure pseudo stall will still be viable.
Marowak disagrees
Pokémon from the battle pyramid and battle seviper as well (ok you can't bring pokeballs here)
I don't think they'll be catcheable, the trial is to beat them (but I could just as well be wrong)
Not to mention, Sandslash has previously been a Steel-type in the TCG
How deep does the hole go???
What I want to know is if Z-Crystals are consumed when the Pokemon uses their Z-Move. Probably not, considering consumable items permanently disappear in the main game after use and they probably don't want players to lose access to these powerful items, but if so, imagine how broken Z-Moves would be with Unburden.
Marowak in the Pokemon Tower was wild and it couldn't be caught either.
EDIT: Sniped
Given how Protect heavy Doubles tends to be, it wouldn't surprise me if all Z-Moves broke Protect.
Guys, you don't understand. The new Exeggutor is based on TCG art from 1999.
Man how did it that this long for this to get into the game?!
So functionally, Z-moves are essentially "Mega moves". But read this...
Key Items for Z-Moves
The Z-Ring fits on a Trainer’s arm, and Z-Crystals are set into it. If a Pokémon holds the same variety of Z-Crystal, the two will be able to resonate with one another. Crystals that correspond to each Pokémon type have been found in the Alola region.
According to the in-universe flavor, you need to keep a crystal in your bracelet, AND have your Pokemon hold an identical crystal, so they can match up and do the move. But if you remember from gen 6, a "Key Stone" was a thing that the characters wore to match up with the Pokemon's held Mega Stone. The player characters wore these in a bracelet as well.
Is it possible that you would have to choose between having a Mega or a Z-move on your team, because your character can only store 1 item in their bracelet at once? Or will they throw out the flavor logic and let you do both (maybe like the XY NPCs who stored their keystones in other jewelry not on their arms)?

Does anybody else find the Totem Gumshoos summoning that Yungoos hilarious? It literally just comes falling out the sky and crashes to the ground with a grin. I'm laughing to myself at home and feeling like an idiot.
I figured it was a funny twist on the existing species. They're clearly based on those flower-mantises, the bugs that look like plants. So I guess these guys decided to be plants that look like bugs (that look like plants).
Poké Ride sorta implies that you won't need HMs to move around the overworld. Yes!
It also implies that Defog won't come back as an HM. No!

Level up by icy rock most likely
Poor Sandslash is getting the worst of it; Ice/Steel having two glaring 4x weaknesses to Fire and Fighting, but judging from the website's description, the poor thing's gonna be even slower. At least its design is nice.
Mega Rayquaza can still hold an item. So it can Mega Evolve and use a Z-Move? WELP.
As if it wasn't broken before...

In other news: Alolan Exeggutor's fourth head is... kind of cute?
Would be neat if other pokemon besides the eeveelutions used those. Maybe Exeggutor will shake things up and use the moss rock instead?
Speaking of: Does the fact that it used a physical move any indicator that Alola forms may have differing Base Stats compared to previous gens? They'll already have different movepools, so who knows.
Also: Did Gumshoos use Hyper Fang, Super Fang, or another bite move? I wanna know how excited to be about that.
Edit:
Is it me, or does that Tauros look a little different?Dammit, I knew I was forgetting something.

Another Pokémon in field means it dances with your Pokemon well. Double quiver dance, double swords. This in triple should awesome.
I get the feeling Z-moves are mostly going to help those that don't have access to a strong STAB move. So, like... Dedenne and Fairy is the first thing that comes to mind but even Z-moves won't help it. Something like a Dragon Z-move won't make Dragons THAT much more overpowered, as they already have Outrage or Draco Meteor. Yeah, they'll probably be balanced.

Ok the Exeggutor in that image (the main one) looks like its plotting something. Also a shame it has...that design. Just...what is that thing? Please, burn it with fire.
Does this place have a higher tier than Anything Goes?
Maybe the Go-Sit-In-The-Corner-And-Think-About-What-You've-Done tier.
