Wait, water compaction sharpy raises your defense when you get hit by a water move?
...maybe useful as a surf partner in doubles, maybe, but boy that sounds useless.

Not even for pre-orders! It's basically like the Torchic from XY where anyone who buys the game before January of next year will be able to get the Munchlax :D
I also love how they stuck to the "lore" of history and kept the new, dastardly Ratatta nocturnal while the detective Gumshoos that try to hunt them are diurnal

I think that Litten's evo just looks like a thicker Litten, and I think Popplio's evo could lead into an interesting looking final evo
But I really really like Rowlet's evolution. I think it looks like it has a ton of personality just through its design and animations, which is something I'm unsure I can say about a lot of other 'mons

So apparently there will be a Pokémon League in Sun and Moon after all. Also, since there are more than four Trial Captains and at least four Kahunas (one per island), I think they might as well have kept the traditional eight Gym Leaders.
Or maybe not. IMO, it depends on whether or not the player has to battle the Trial Captains. I know the player battles the Kahunas, but I got the impression that the point of the Trials is to test the challengers in other ways than battling. If we have to battle the Trial Captains after the Trials, then they might as well be Gym Leaders.
Anyway, how about those final starter evolutions? I simply love Primarina. I've been on Team Popplio since day one, so I'm glad we got the coolest final evolution. As a Water/Fairy-type, it has only three weaknesses and Primarina will probably be able to learn some nice special attacks. Decidueye looks pretty badass too, but Incineroar didn't impress me much. I always thought Litten was the least original of the Alolan starters and I haven't changed my mind. Well, at least it's not another Firefighter.
Oh, and OF COURSE Cynthia is in the games. Everyone loves Cynthia. It'll be nice to battle alongside her and Wally in the Battle Tree. I just wonder how come Wally still looks like a kid even though Red and Blue appear to be twenty. These timelines are so confusing.

I think Emerald is set something like 4 years after red and blue? So Wally might just be a late bloomer teenager.
I'm somewhat horrified that there's another Water/Fairy coming after what became of Azumarill, but the design is pretty cool. Decidueye is growing on me, and I was on team Rowlet since day one, so that's good.
Inceneroar, in which they had already put the DAMN WRESTING BELT ON and then went "oh crap look at all the fire/fighting memes quick make it fire/dark instead." Ugh.

Absolutely love Decidueye. Grass/Ghost Archer? Sign me the eff up, I'm glad the final grass evo is something good this time after the disappointment that was Chesnaught...
Primarina is also gorgeous. I like the Meganium-esque "feminine" starter, but let's be real, if my male Popplio wants to wear a dress, more power to him
And Incineroar is Grrrrrreat! ( And by that, I mean that the designers for fire starters need to stop making everything bara :I )

Actually, a theory I heard from the Dex youtubers makes me like Inceneroar a lot more: His deal is that he's a heel. Like, the very obviously over-the-top "bad guy" in wrestling theatrics, which explains why he's Dark instead of Fighting but still has the Fighter aesthetic, and if that's the case that's actually hilarious.

Yeah, was a bit surprised it took people as long as it has to catch on. It's most likely based on the wrestling character/persona Tiger Mask. And dang, everything is a good choice for starters this time... but definitely still going with Popplio. Which is probably good since my team is probably going to end up Bug and/or Grass Type heavy again, heh.

I know a couple of content creators I follow tweet a LOT about wrestling, but most people I interact with online probably know next to nothing about wrestling (myself included). So when we see the wrestler aesthetic it all just kinda looks the same.
