What’s Team Skull’s motivation? Chaotic neutral grunts with a chaotic evil leader. There is no motivation. Their motivation is “fuck it, why not?”
There’s a reason why they’re not the main antagonists of Sun and Moon…
“It’s so ridiculous that GameFreak didn’t add any new fossil Pokemon to Sun and Moon!!!”
The games take place on a volcanic archipelago, it’s virtually impossible for new fossils to be prevalent in such a place, or any fossils for that matter.
“But the Pokedex has 4th and 5th gen fossils!!”
That are explicitly stated as having been imported from Sinnoh and Unova as trade goods and decorations. I would have loved new fossil Pokemon too, but chill.

Take this!

Energy from all the Pokemon of the sea!

Spirit Bubble!
Sun and Moon leaked early to a few people, and the games have been cracked open and datamined completely, so we now know the typing, stats, abilities and movesets of every new Pokemon, as well as version exclusives.
On top of those already announced by the Pokemon Company, Alolan Vulpix/Ninetails and Turtonator appear to be exclusive to Sun, and Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash and Drampa appear to be exclusive to Moon.
Heads up! Pokemon Sun and Moon are now available for pre-purchase and download on the Nintendo e-Shop!


As much as Robin Hoot, or Owliver Preen work as names for Decidueye, I feel like Hamlet is a good nickname for the whole line. Think about it, the father’s a ghost, the first you see it as Rowlet it’s a bit of a lovable dork, then it becomes emo and brooding as Dartrix, before finally becoming Decidueye, deadly, serious and focused on murder.

The real reason Decidueye is part Ghost type…

Alolan Persian finally makes sense to me. Much like Alolan Meowth it was specifically bred by the Alolan royals to have the physical traits that it does, including the face. It’s face isn’t just round, it’s flat. You know what else has a round, flat face that was specifically bred to have a round, flat face? Persian cats in the real world.
“ Kommo-o’s greatest move is the uppercut. It swings its arm up from below in a punch of great skill and force, sending its foe flying into the sky “
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Kommo-o’s greatest weapon is the freaking Shoryuken aka Rising Dragon Fist?
