well, it’s actually what it really is. it’s just type:null destroying its helmet. so you can’t complain because it’s literally not supposed to be any different from type:null except for its helmet

Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand why it is what it is, I’m saying that people are inevitably going to complain that it’s lazy or a terrible design as happens so often with newer Pokemon.

As for it not being any different except for its helmet, that’s not entirely true.  The Pokedex does say that its temperament and personality is different from when it’s Type: Null and when it’s Silvally and it doesn’t get access to Multi-Attack or its RKS system ability until it evolves.

Chances are that if bred Silvally will always start as a Type: Null in mechanics if not in lore, so I’d definitely consider it an actual family instead of something like a form change.

“Type: Null’s evolution is so lazy!  It just loses its helmet!”

Mother. Fucking. MAGNETON.

MOTHER. FUCKING. DUGTRIO!

Next scheduled trailer or news dump for Sun and Moon is 10/14.  Corocoro is set to come out on 10/15 and may very well leak ahead of time.  The show Pokenchi is supposed to have info on the games and anime on 10/16, and we’re getting a demo version on 10/18.

I am both excited, and afraid.  If they can show this much info, how much is in the games themselves?  The file sizes have already been shown to be double that of X and Y.

I really hope that the Game Grumps do a playthrough of Pokemon Sun or Moon.  And not because Dartrix looks like Arin and Alolan Exeggutor would fit for Danny.

I am 95% certain that Type: Null has some form of connection to Arceus

When it was first announced, it was stated that Pokemon Sun and Moon would be able to connect to Pokemon Red Blue and Yellow on the Virtual Console.

Of the 8 currently known Alolan form Pokemon, 5 were originally exclusive to Blue Version.  I’d expect Alolan Growlithe/Arcanine, Ekans/Arbok and Mankey before too long to make up the difference.

• Alola is made up of 4 islands, Melemele, Poni, Ula’Ula, and Akala.
• Post game has 4 “Island Districts” that aren’t viewable on the map. Ekahi Island, Elua Island, Ekolu Island, and Kalola Island.
• Kalos is not available post-game, but Hoomaka Cave on Kalola Island holds a huge easter egg I believe. Deep inside there is a dark entrance guarded by a backpacker that states the railroad is closed for now and only a Pokémon that emits a special light can ignite the way to the other side. No Pokémon in your party will allow you to enter for now.
• Rockruff has 3 evolutions similar to Eevee in RBY. All of them require learning “Howl”.
• Salandit has a split evolution line at level 36, one for Male and one for Female.
• There are 16 Z-Stones, 18 total, with a Trial Captain for 16 of the types. Guzma and Plumeria are holders of the missing Dark and Poison Z-Stones.
• Some Pokémon can change shape/stats after they perform a Z-Move. These include Greninja (Rainbow), Solgaleo (Radiant), Lunala (Full Moon), Marshadow (Eclipse), Espeon (Dawn), and Umbreon (Dusk).
• All 47 Mega Stones are accessible on the island districts. There aren’t any new Mega Evolutions.
• There are a total of 128 new Pokémon and 23 Alolan forms. These Alolan forms are all Gen 1 exclusive Pokémon.
• Alolan form Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolving can do so, Alakazam and Kangaskahn are among these.
• Marshadow, an extremely gorgeous dolphin, has a jewel on its head that emit sparkles so bright, that its seen as the emissary of light. It’s stats are pretty underwhelming, but it has a cool ability that allows it to have any Psychic type combination. The second type is random every time it enters the battle field. Even switching out causes it to change.
• The Strange Souvenir item in XY depicts a Ghost/Rock Pokémon from Alola named Gigareki. It’s a giant tiki (different from the Tapu lines) that has an amazing laughing animation when you battle with it. It is said to be the oldest living Pokémon, and seen as a “Teacher” in many ways.
• The NX will be a dual handheld/console set for release next year. Sept 2017 there will be a parent game that features both regions of XYSM exclusive to this console.
• Rainbow Greninja will be revealed by TPC on Aug 21.
• Alolan Alakazam family are fighting type. Alolan Alakazam can mega evolve, keeps the fighting type, and gains No Guard.
• Yes. The Z-Bracelet is a key item in your backpack. Selecting it allows you to place 1 mega stone and 1 z stone inside of it. This allows for more crazy strategies because your Mega Pokémon can now hold items like Rayquaza due to this.
• The first district you’re taken too has a slightly upgraded Battle Maison. One of the districts has a Lugia/Ho-Oh depending on your version.
• All Champions from previous games are able to battled on the S.S. Anne while they’re bored. The S.S. Anne brings you to the districts.
• Rainbow Greninja is technically Ash Greninja but with a name change. It will be revealed in the closing ceremony at World’s 2016.
• Meowth that knows “Happy Hour” and OT Alola will be distributed at World’s. Cherish Ball.
• If you add 128 to our existing 721 roster, that means Generation 8 will only need to introduce 151 Pokemon (like a reboot) to bring our total count to 1000.

We can expect a gameplay demonstration from Gamescom, and one of these rumors may be confirmed on Saturday 8/21 during Worlds.  Here’s hoping!
