I want the cat. While I’m not a fan of the others, I don’t really mind them.Minor spoilers for 7th gen starter stats, but Litten’s not a bad choice at all. Incineroar has really respectable attack and solid defensive typing and stats. It’s a little slow, but so are the other two.
Decidueye has average physical and special attack, special defense that’s decent and physical defense that’s below average, with base 70 speed. It’s set as a mixed attacker that doesn’t hit fast, and doesn’t really hit hard on either end of the spectrum. On top of that it has more weaknesses than resistances, (though it does have 2 immunities) and relatively thin coverage.
Then there’s Primarina. It only has 3 weaknesses, to relatively underused types while resisting 6 types and being immune to a 7th. Stat wise the best comparison would probably be Gardevoir, but Primarina does what Gardevoir does better, albeit slower. It hits harder and tanks hits better than Gardevoir, and has the highest Special Attack and Special Defense stats of any starter Pokemon in the history of the franchise.
Decidueye’s not bad in the scheme of things, but I expect to see a LOT more Incineroar and Primarina than Decidueye in competitive, and in just playing through the games.

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!

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.

You should do to the story what you want to do, not what we want you to do.
That’s generally the plan, but I still like to get feedback from the followers now and then. I’ll be taking the concepts, but altering the designs by hive so they won’t be as offputting as the canon designs from Chrysalis’s hive.
-
I think people might be looking at the new changeling designs too literally. Think for a moment of the possibilities! Before all changelings were kind of just generic buggy ponies, but now we have a hive with blatant beetle characteristics between Thorax’s horns and the shell covering the wings. All that the finale has done is shown that changelings can be colorful, compassionate and more heavily influenced by insect characteristics.
Who’s to say that all changelings have to be beetle-y? Why can’t there be a hive with spider leanings that further develops them? Or bee? Or dragonfly? There are tons of possibilities now that don’t detract from the old ones. Even then, the new designs are different, but they grow on you over time. At least they did with me.

I love seeing people complain that certain Pokemon in Sun and Moon have evolutions that don’t make sense because their inspirations aren’t the same species as the preevolutions.
Seriously? Do you think that’s never happened?

“ 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?
