Alolan Grimer and Muk look really great. Grimer's model is better than his artwork, and Muk has nice subtle changes (the crystals sticking out of it, and the way its eyes are more angry looking).

And they're probably not going to buff M-Banette either. That's a shame.
Whoa wasn't expecting this much in addition to CoroCoro. This is all awesome! I wasn't expecting much at all for Bounsweet's evolution, I kind of forgot about her. But wow she is THICC lmao. The ability and signature attack are great. I wonder is she'll actually be viable with the right stats. Love her description on the site too.
Do not like Robombee. It looks permanently hunched over like a 80 year old man.
I like Jangmo-o's final evo more now have seen its 3D model. I'm not crazy over him but I like it.
Alolan Muk is amazing. Looks like a living acid trip. Would totally put him on my team.

Oh well, Khanga might actually be used in smogon formats! :D
.... wait. KHANGA MIGHT BE USED IN SMOGON FORMATS ?! D:

The evidence from the French and German names for Silvally suggest that, in general, its name is a more straightforward combination of a word for "silver" plus a word for "ally" or "friend" (French Silvallié = silver + allié [French "ally"], German Amigento = ami [French "friend"] + argento [Italian & rare poetic Spanish "silver"]). I can imagine the English localisation team might have enjoyed the subtle "Silicon Valley" vibe, though.
Game Freak must like living paradox Pokémon
Well it has to give up its own scales to use the move...
I fail to see your point. Kommo has a lot of empashis on attack and defense. Lowering one of its best stats is a worthy trade off if its damage is high enough.
Interesting...
Mega Kanga got nerfed? Not sure if it'll be OU allowed or not with this nerf, but its still nice. On a side note, I wish they would nerf normal Blaziken and replace Speed Boost with a less broken ability. (Not Reckless because that would be copying Emboar)

BEST. UPDATE. EVER.
Arceus' Specie name is alfa in spanish
A little disappointed that we have what seems to be 2 physical based pure grass mons. Think they missed a trick not giving one a secondary typing. Am loving A-Muk and what seems to be an increased move pool to take advantage of the Dark typing.
Loving all these moms more now we've seen their models move though. In game team decisions just got way harder.

Probably not. Unless they changed how the second hit affects moves with secondary effects (So we still have Power-Up Punch shenanigans) and fixed damage moves (200 HP Seismic Tosses are painful)
Gamefreak likes to make bad pokemon. I'm kind of worried that they're going to make it another Goodra.
uh, my bad. I thought it droped the TARGET'S defense, not from the user...
Huh, that's pretty neat actually. Makes me wonder what the Japanese name stands for.

Junichi Masuda (and if not him then someone else at Game Freak) brought up potentially nerfing it a while ago iirc
Kommo-o looks much better in-game.Corocoro shouldn't have used that stupid pose.
Anyone else thinks Kommo-o's signature attack is reverse psyshock?

Gamefreak does pay attention to what happens at VGC worlds and can be reliably expected to nerf the most obnoxious things they see there (also why they changed the timer system). That's why auto weather was nerfed to 5 turns after gen 5. This gen, it seems to be priority (particularly bravest bird) and megas getting nerfs.
Except I'm not exactly sure if the priority nerfs will actually work, it all depends on whether Bruxish/Tsareena are actually usable. Given that one of these is one of those mono grass attackers that gamefreak just loves making for some reason, I'm not getting my hopes up.
