The worst thing is that I'M NOT.

I AM subbed to Marriland though, thanks a lot YT suggestions. Maybe next time you want to suggest a Poketuber to follow you can find someone who actually can be classed as a real channel.

This shoulda been Alola Persian's design, with a chubby body a la Purugly.

Does Alolan Persian qualify as a datamine spoiler anymore, now that it's been revealed by the cover of a Sun/Moon Pokédex guide in Japan?

Meh. It was part of the fun to build a team that was workable and still had slots for hms.

Going to disagree with you HARD on that one. The only HM that I'd really consider using on a team was Surf, maybe Waterfall or Fly (because of absolute necessity for Fly). Good riddance.

Response to the Above:
Spoiler: show
There's actually a bit more evidence about Lillie being UB-01 than you think. There is the fact that 01's bio states that it moves like a young girl despite being a glassy jellyfish, though that admittedly doesn't prove anything... Until you take into account that Lillie's anime bio mentions that she can't touch pokemon. There's no way someone can be allergic to a remoraid, an abomasnow, a bronzor, and a bidoof, so that kinda leaves her as being something else under a frail disguise... or she's cursed by something. That would be an awkward plot twist, wouldn't it?

The other Ultra Beasts are the kickers in the theory, though. Neither Absorption nor Beauty have any sort of even questionable proof like 01 does- heck, the former doesn't really look like anyone we know yet! In that regard, you could be right about them as a whole. It's not like something made from corrupted human DNA is going to have Cute Charm on steroids... right?


More Modern Discussion:
Spoiler: show
I agree with phoopes on the HM issue- only a few were remotely useful in battle, and I never build teams with even them in mind. Granted, that meant that I had to the rush to the Spear Pillar without two of my team members the other day, but that's a sacrifice I won't have to make now. This is a change I'm more than happy with- even if it means risking being mind- putting up with a mind-controlling bull for a couple more minutes that I'd feel comfortable with. I'm not fond of male cows in general, okay?

I always used to build my team with HMs in mind. I always considered it part of the challenge. But yeah, now that HMs are gone, I see it as having much more freedom. Mono-type teams seem more doable for types like Bug. If none of the Flying-types catch your eye, that's no longer a problem. Movesets are no longer forced to perpetually carry crappy moveslot-wasters like Cut.

That reminds me- will the move deleter actually be a thing this time around, considering HMs were what made him necessary?

I would assume so. There are some strategies (albeit obscure/bad ones) that require knowing less than four moves. Take for example the move Last Resort.

I always build teams with HM's in mind, at least in the sense that I always had to have a Pokémon for Surf, and one for Fly. Used HM slaves for other moves, usually a Gyarados XD

Anyhow, I'm glad the HM's are gone. While I can see the "challenge" of building a usable team with the few HM's that are truly mandatory, I find it more limiting than anything else. Especially since my favorite Flying-type (Crobat) doesn't learn it in the games I played the most (Gen 2 + Gen 3), and I don't like to have too many overlapping weaknesses and Pokémon of the same type.


Off the current topic
Spoiler: show
So, back to Alolan Dugtrio, I heard a rumor it will be part fire type.
And that the hair it has, is this: Pele's hair.
Which in all honesty makes perfect sense now I think about it, you know, Alola being based on Hawaii and volcanic islands and all that.

Actually, Crobat's always been able to learn Fly- it's Zubat and Golbat that weren't able to until Generation IV. I agree, though, it did make things a little frustrating if your Golbat (or Togepi, as the case may be) wouldn't evolve by the time you get Fly.

That's pretty cool. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be the case.

I can dig UBs being Pokemon
Is that Ash-Pikachu? You get the fuck out right now
The entire idea of Silvally is stupid though at least its name is marginally less stupid than Type: Null's
Legend prevos. Legend... prevos... these words do not belong together.
Alola Dugtrio: because you're worth it
neodude line looks epic. As do virus and anchor
persian for dumbest looking Alolan forme
stop trying to make mimikyu a meme

EDIT: Oh, also, Magearna having the Pokeball form that wasn't shiny, awesome. The Pokeball form's shiny? Epic

Alolan Persian is actually growing on me, once you look at it like Garfield and realize it probably likes Lasagna and hates Mondays, you tend to connect with it better.

I will still probably never use it.

Spoiler: show
Fusions in Pokemon: Kyurem

Pokeballs in Dragonball? Did people forget the demon capture jar?

Also, I like HMs and am actually a little pissed they're gone. Also disappointed we lost Struggle Bug and Incinerate from the TM roster. New Leech Life seems promising, especially if they buff it.

Move deleter has some uses. Like if you're going to marathon breed and you want to make sure the father only has the moves he needs to pass down so you can hatch dozens of eggs before worrying about yanking him out to prevent him loosing that move.

With Alolan Persian I'm pretty confident that it's meant to be an actual Persian cat. They're notoriously ugly because of mass inbreeding within the species to keep the blood 'pure', so the way I see it Gamefreak are retconning a Persian which is actually a Persian since normal Persian is quite obviously based on a Siamese rather than a Persian. It's not just a poor design choice, it actually makes sense.
