I'm not overly fussed tbh, as long as their designs look good, I don't care what they're based off. With that saiad though, I know a dolphin Pokemon is in high demand, so I wouldn't mind seeing one of those, I also wouldn't mind seeing other Pokemon be based off animals that don't have Pokemon counterparts yet, but I have no idea on what those are other than a dolphin LOL. I'd like to see some more new type combinations though, and as afore mentioned, some more fairy types would be nice. I do want more cross gen evolutions though.

I get their options are limited in what they can do so like I said at the start of this post, I'm not that bothered what we get as long as they look like Pokemon to me.

Fun fact: When Gen 5 came out, I literally hated all the Pokemon designs, and kept saying that none of them looked like Pokemon, but as time went on I started loving the designs, but now Unova is the region where I like the most individual Pokemon designs - there are some really cool designs and typing in that region, so since then I always keep judging to a minimum, but right now, I'm not a fan of any of the S&M Pokemon we've seen. I like Popplio, Rowlet to an extent, and the bird we saw in the first reveal trailer, that's about it. Litten looks like a Yo-Kai, Solgaleo looks like an Entei meets Pyroar cross over, and Lunala looks like a Yveltal rip off where Zubat meets Noibat meets Bayonetta's Bat Within ability.

Yes, Jynx is way overdue for a third evolution...

Me? I would actually like more Pokémon based off of death, one or two with "necro" in their names...

Iceshadow3317 June 6th, 2016 6:58 AM

Heya guys. I am back with pokemon typings that I think or the number of each type I would like to see. I did this back in Kalos in which I got totally wrong because of the number of pokemon we got. This time, I think it is more reason able. I am going to list the amount of each typing I would love to see in the games. The max amount of pokemon I think we will see is about 120. Probably a little lower. The 120 does not count Possible Mega or new forms.

My typings can share a single pokemon, so there will probably be over 120 in the typings. But a lot could be considered the same pokemon. The numbers taking into consideration of the starters and legends that we know so far. So Rowlet, ect, will be counted in this.

These are mainly based on patterns, the region, and what I personally would like to see. This may be very wrong. But I think I am at least right with the water types :P Even though, 35 water pokemon might still be a bit high for 1 region. Megas and form changes could also be in this list.

Spoiler:
Bug Types - 14
Dark Types - 8
Dragon Types - 9
Electric Types - 7
Fairy Types - 11
Fighting Types - 7
Fire Types - 16
Flying Types - 14
Ghost Types - 10
Grass Types - 18
Ground Types - 13
Ice Types - 9
Normal Types - 18
Poison Types - 12
Psychic Types - 15
Rock Types - 11
Steel Types - 18
Water Types - 35

George C June 6th, 2016 9:14 PM

I personally just hope we get some new fossil pokemon and hopefully they aren't to crappy like Tyrantrum..

Iceshadow3317 June 6th, 2016 9:24 PM

Hey guys. I have discovered something possibly interesting.

Solgaleo looks a LOT like Galeon from the original beyblade series. Not only that, but there names are almost exactly the same. However, Galeon was black and white while Solgaleo is white and yellow. Both in which are lions. They might have the same origins, but I currently cannot find the Origins of Galeon.

I am not sure this is coincidence. They might be pulling some inspiration for the Legendarys from the bit beasts of Beyblade. However, I currently do not know if there is a bit beast similar to Lunaala. It has been a very long time since I watched beyblade.

When do you think will the list and information about all the Gen. 7 Pokémon (minus the "hidden" mythical ones) be revealed?

That never happens unless the entire dex is leaked by someone, which may not happen. If it does, it will probably be right before the games come out. Otherwise, we will not know every pokemon until after the games have been out for a bit.

BW Pokemon List was leaked by someone who was probably fired and Game Freak went into a frenzy and threatened to take down all fan sites if they didn't remove info, but it was too late.

Kalos Pokemon were leaked because Europe got the games and were selling them about a week early, which caused all pokemon to be leaked before the rest of the world even got the games. Game Freak threatened to sue people who put info up, but again.... it was already too late.

That's true. The only times the entire new Pokemon roster were revealed before game release were when leaks like this happened, and if it appears leaks are getting cracked down upon this time around it's very likely we won't find out the final new Pokemon roster for Alola until after the games are released and that would be welcoming news for those who want to go in blind because having the entire roster leaked ruined the surprise for them.

MarinoKadame June 7th, 2016 6:22 PM

If I remember most of the Kalos stuff that got leaked was from a Canadian who got the game way early and was putting pictures on Instagram.

I know that we had people leaking it, but I'm sure that guy got caught before he was able to leak the entire roster to the internet. When he got caught others started following his lead, that's why.

thedarkdragon11 June 7th, 2016 9:14 PM

I see... So waiting for a list this early is almost tantamount to waiting for leaks, eh?

I would not put money on that. Remember XY, when some scumbags sold copies early? (Italy iirc) This led to ORAS being distributed more carefully (and the delayed EU release...) but this could happen again.

Gimme a pegasus

blue June 8th, 2016 10:02 AM

There are still a few different species that have yet to get Pokemon based of them. I'm hoping to see a Dolphin, Peacock, Koala Bear and Lemur for some new Pokemon!

I could imagine the concepts with animals like these in regards to Pokemon designs. A dolphin is something I'm hoping for since Alola is literally the Hawaii of Pokemon, and I'd like a peacock as well (especially after I saw a nicely designed Fakemon one for Solar Light & Lunar Dark) since I can see it being a Pokemon with notable gender differences, since females have a more dull colouration compared to the males.

And you know, I wouldn't mind another bird Pokemon with notable gender differences like Unfezant had.

This is what I am hoping for. I think it would best as a Legendary even though I would love Rapidash to turn into one. If they are getting inspiration from Beyblade, like they did with possibly Solgaleo, the main character has a bit beast called Galaxy Pegasus. I could see it being part Fairy easily.

I wouldn't be surprised if maybe the legendaries were based off Constellations as well. Especially with the Spaceyness of the pokemon.

Not to mention we have Leo. I am not sure if there is a bat

I couldn't find anything about a bat constellation in Greeco-Roman thought, but I did find one in another culture's Zodiac.

"What was the Mayan Zodiac like?
The Milky Way, as a Creator of all things and the path of the dead, divided the Zodiac belt (made up of 13 constellations) into two to not very exact halves. The constellation of the Bat, the most mystical for the Mayas, corresponded to Ophiuchus, also considered an esoteric sign in the Old World. This represented the entrance to the underworld, and for that reason, experienced astrologers always tried to hide its existence from the profane. The bat was located in the mouth of the Heavenly Reptile, which coincides with the center of our galaxy. According to the hieroglyphic texts, the bat watched over the dead in the caves of the ancestors. To the left of the bat are: the Wild Boar (Sagittarius), the Deer (Capricorn), the Monkey (Aquarius), the female Jaguar with twins (Pisces) and the Squirrel (Aries). All of theses are mammals and belong to the living part of man's universe. At the other side of the circle, to the right of the bat, are the constellations deemed "messengers" between the worlds. These are birds, reptiles and insects: the Frog (Scorpio), the Macaw (Libra), the Plumed Boa-Serpent (Virgo), the "Muan" (Leo), the Scorpion (Cancer), the Turtle (Gemini) and the Rattled Serpent (Taurus)." source: http://www.xcaretmagazine.com/xcaret-II/mayan-zodiac.php

You got to admit that the connection with the Bat Constellation with the dead could explain as to why Lunaala is part Ghost.

Speaking of Ophiuchus, perhaps Zygarde could also represent the symbol's Greek-roman view. it's a man holding a snake. Zygarde's strongest forms are of a snake and a person. Meanwhile Xerneas could double as the Mayan Capricorn.

MarinoKadame June 8th, 2016 6:08 PM

I would like more pokemon that are different in look depending of the gender and also has different moveset kind of like Meowstic.

Maybe we could get another bird like the Pidove line but with differences in moveset. Colorful Birds have some of the most obvious differences, as the males are more colorful than the females. Perhaps a full peacock.

Pretty much.
I know GF won't put almost the whole list out like X/Y IIRC, but I'm sure we'll see a few in future reveals. I'm expecting up to 6 this month with E3 and CoroCoro both confirmed to have news.

Idle thought.

I'm thinking a Vole. Perhaps with a different appearance at each island as there are differentwo kinds of voles in different environments, think the Galapago turtles and finches.

I'm sure we'll get some new Pokemon revealed at both E3 and in CoroCoro, and with more new Pokemon revealed in coming months but hopefully enough so that some of the new Pokemon roster is secret until release day.

Drake22ice June 9th, 2016 4:38 PM

the bird and the dog hopefully.... and maybe a Gym Leader

Xander Olivieri June 14th, 2016 8:57 AM

So three new Pokemon, Pikipek, Yungoos, and Grubbin added to Pokemon.com

Just because Eevee appeared in the trailer doesn't exactly mean there will be a new Eeveelution.

jappo June 14th, 2016 9:41 AM

Curious about the new bird. I think they can do some really sleak looking evolutions with it :)

Hikamaru June 14th, 2016 9:43 AM

I didn't exactly pick up on this, but posts on Tumblr I was randomly browsing through seem to think that they have seen that Lillie has a Pokemon in her bag, and they think it was Rowlet. Guess that means Lillie will have the starter strong against ours after all like we thought.

Kameken June 14th, 2016 9:51 AM

They're all so cyooooooot!

Definitely gonna bring a pikipek with me everywhere, might also take a grubbin if its evolutions are useful. I'm almost certain it's not, but with that look it could easily be a prevolution of pinsir. I refuse to use yungoos, though, since I have a long-standing grudge against all things mongoose.

Spoiler:
I probably won't avoid it for as long as I think, since I didn't with zangoose.

Entermaid June 14th, 2016 10:24 AM

Yungoos' teeth are so cute. I am guessing his evo may very well surpass Linoone in badassness among the early-route normal types.

Hopefully the evolution looks at least a little bit like a wolfssegner with those teeth! Definitely see it as a glass cannon with high attack and speed, with low defensive stats.

I could see them adding fighting, dark, or keeping the pure normal typing with the evolution as well.
http://fireemblemfates.nintendo.com/assets/images/conquest/class-wolfskin-screenshot.jpg

I also like Grubbin's design. You can tell that those tusk-like antennas are used to shovel things into its mouth. As a bug-type fan, I am hopeful we will get more than one bug-line this generation! Though, would like to see a cute/beautiful bug like Leavanny, Vespiquen, Volcarona, Beautifly, and Butterfree. It's likely that Grubbin will resemble an adult grub which is anything but beautiful -- though hopefully an equally interesting design.

I am guessing the evo's typing will be either pure bug or add on a ground, rock, or steel typing provided the little helmet shielding it's head. Also I expect it to have high defense and HP, moderate attack, low specials, and abysmal speed.

MarinoKadame June 14th, 2016 11:00 AM

Grubbin feels like a Termite Larvae to me.

Not saying it's a must, but why choose Eevee with Magearna in battle? I think it is a hint.. I hope

Iceshadow3317 June 14th, 2016 1:46 PM

It is possible. Eevee seemed out of place, but we are kinda pick at straws there.

Anyways, from what we know of the Dex.

Starters have 2 evos obviously.
Bird has 2 evos.
The bug probably has 2 evos as well.
Dog might have 2
Koala might have 1

Did anyone see how many pokeballs were next to Yungoose's dex entry? My video cut out before I could see it.

Yungoos is cute in a funny sort of way. It's also my favourite of the regional rodents along with Sentret and Zigzagoon.

Pikipek is pretty cool although this base form doesn't stand out a lot to me. (from other regional birds) It's animation with the way it bobs it's head is pretty cute though.

My favourite is Grubbin though. I just feel like this guy has a lot of potential. Hopefully it'll be more of a Venipede or Sewaddle than a Caterpie or Wurmple.

They covered the screen when the Pokedex entry for Yungoose came up for some reason. By that total though including the legendaries, that brings the total to 22-24 new Pokemon so far.

Iceshadow3317 June 14th, 2016 1:54 PM

Yeah and most are confirmed for first island.

Also, the Odd Generations usually have a lot of bug types. Kanto got a few. Unova got a ton. Hoenn got a good amount.
So I am going to guess Alola will also have a large amount of new bugs. Especially with it being tropical.
Also, if the dex that was coming up was the Melemele Dex, which is the first island, Ledian is #20 and Pikipek is #10.

Also take note that that was only Route 1. There is probably about 5 routes and a cave on the islands. Pichu is probably also found on Route 1 since Hau had one.

Some are saying that it may have contained the name of another Pokemon which was why it was censored like that.

Possible. That theory is probably formed from the fact that some people think that it is a pre evolution of Zangoose, and I really don't think that is it. It doesn't really look like Zangoose at all and I don't think it be catchable in the wild that early if it was new. Most pre evolution have to be breed to get unless it is something like Friend Safari or Mr. Backlot's Garden in Sinnnoh. I think that is his name.

With the mongoose being introduced to get rid of rodents and what not in Hawaii a while ago, it could be a new mouse or rat pokemon, which we honestly haven't have a really rat or mouse since first generation.

I do think we will get a snake pokemon though. We got snakes in 1st, 3rd, and 5th gens. Even though in 5th Gen, it was one of the starters.

No, all of the discussions I saw said mostly that it may have contained the name of a new Pokemon since it was a real world equivalent to why the asian mongoose was brought to Hawaii. Any mentioning of Zangoose was shot down. So it may have contained the name of another rodent like Pokemon that we have yet to see.

Drake22ice June 15th, 2016 5:32 AM

I can see if it is a natural enemy to a species (mouse or rat) pokemon it would not want to reveal it.. probably next month..

I am thinking we will start to see some new watermons pop up next reveal.. maybe the anticipated dolphin every one seems to want

I cannot wait to see the fossil pokemon

Beautifully_Twisted June 15th, 2016 6:53 AM

My least favorite out of every Pokemon revealed so far is Grubbin. I guess I like the mythical Pokemon that they revealed even less... I don't hate any of them though.

L'Belle June 15th, 2016 7:02 AM

Grubbinis my favourite. IT'S SO CUTE!!!! <3

*high fives*

I'm just hoping that it'll end up becoming a strong bug type rather than just an early throwaway bug. 5th gen was such a great generation for bug types.

Iceshadow3317 June 15th, 2016 12:39 PM

I really don't have a favorite yet. I do love flying types a lot, so Pikipek is probably my favorite right now. I loved mostly all the Unova Bugs. Grubbin will probably become part electricity. So I am really interested in seeing its evolutions.

It is possibly that they will be similar. Because what Pikipek is possibly based on, an Imperial Woodpecker, The female and male looks different. While the males have a red crest, the females have a black crest. I actually really liked Unfezant. Not my favorite bird type, but better than a lot of the other flying types in the games. But I guess it was the worst looking bird in Gen 5.

countryemo June 15th, 2016 4:57 PM

This bird was posted a while ago as a possible seperate pokemon, though I still think it would be a good evolution for Pikipek. Though I kinda wish Pikipek was like its fan-art guesses, a bit thicker.
Frigate Bird or this I'iwi Bird

If the latter, maybe mixed with the 'Akepa, it's beak could evolve to be a drill instead of a pecker.

Solar Snivy June 16th, 2016 3:32 AM

Eh... Currently I hate Yungoos. It's that stupid mouth that really kills me. Maybe it'll grow on me though. Maybe. But probably not.

As for the other two, Pikipek is the most adorable thing and I love it, and Grubbin... Hopefully it will evolve into something good. It looks fine for a first-stage bug.

Iceshadow3317 June 16th, 2016 12:28 PM

Yo guys. I was going over corocoro again and some things serebii didn't mention were pointed out by Pokejungle. I have posted similar things in another thread for specific pokemon that we already know.

Yes! Lots of new pokemon confirmed! That puts rest to my worries about it only introducing 60 new pokemon like Kalos.

Iceshadow3317 June 16th, 2016 5:29 PM

Although I am pretty sure you are right, I would be weary still. However, not sure Corocoro would have said something like that if there wasn't at least more than Kalos. I can't remember what they said, if they said anything, with BW and XY.

blue June 16th, 2016 10:39 PM

It would be nice to believe that they do mean a lot of new Pokemon, but it could just be a turn of phrase that actually represents a number that they would consider a large amount i.e 70 like with Kalos. The only reason why I'm thinking the number won't be as high as previous generations is because of how the Pokedex seems to be comprised of older Pokemon so far. We saw a similar thing in X/Y with plenty of past gen mons returning which would make sense to make up for the lack of "larger" number of new Pokemon people were expecting. Ledyba is #020 on the MeleMele dex which indicates it may well have a similar structure to that of the Kalos Pokedex. I would love more Pokemon sure, I'm just expecting a similar number of new species of about 60-80.

Like you said, since the Alola Dex is already confirmed to house older Pokemon and the fact that Game Freak are likely to have Pokemon from every generation included somewhere, it gives me the impression we may get a small number of new Pokemon again. The 72 we had for Kalos was considered by the fans as "too small" so maybe 80-90 would make for a more solid number that would be able to also accommodate older Pokemon in the four regional Dex sections.

smocks June 17th, 2016 10:25 AM

Currently, I want Litten, Grubbin(!), and Iwanko !!
but for I guess "new pokemon" I'm getting vibe that we'll get a new form of castform.

80 to 90 is still considered small. And I still don't like the number. I really don't like using old pokemon and honestly, I really don't like seeing them in the wild. When its a new game. I want to see new pokemon. Not old ones. I don't want to use old ones.

I am still holding out for 112 at least. People didn't start to complain about the number until Unova and Kalos. Too many and then too few. They need to hit in the middle of 72 and 156. Which is 114. That would bring us to 835 total. And the 114 shouldn't include forms or megas.

It all comes down to how many Pokemon will be in each segment of the regional Dex, and like you said most of us like using a team of only new Pokemon from the new generation and with Kalos' new Pokemon roster being "too small" most of us who only wanted to use the new guys all ended up using the same teams most of the time.

114 would be a good middle ground number, but 120 new Pokemon for Alola could also work. The fact if new Megas for both older and newer Pokemon are getting introduced is kinda questioning me at the moment because the new bracelet shown in the protagonist artwork is making me seem to imply that Megas are gone.

Don't underestimate Grubbin. He might evolve into a bad-ass bug.

Also I would like to see a frying pan Pokemon just for the lulz.

WingsofBliss June 20th, 2016 6:22 AM

The official site says that Grubbin can be found near power plants because it loves electricity. This makes me think it might evolve to have an Electric typing, but I also wonder about a Ground typing because it's also said to dig underground.

I wonder when the dog and koala will show up on the site? It's kinda strange to me that they haven't shown up on the official site, although I do remember Serebii stating a while back that particular issue of CoroCoro was supposed to have "exclusive" info about SM. Does that mean the dog and koala won't be up in the official site and were only meant to show up in CoroCoro like they did?

There is always a few days to 2 weeks between corocoro pokemon being in trailers. They still have to reveal the US names for them. I doubt they will wait for the games to come out to do that, especially with the internet being the place to go for info. They know by now that the world knows about the other 2 for the most part, they are just waiting to reveal it. It is possible that they aren't on the first few routes, so they have to go to another island or further on the first island. That was on Route 1 that they were on as far as I could tell. So that route was between the beach and village. That leaves a few more routes and a cave on the first island.

Bellsprout June 20th, 2016 8:40 PM

The names if you're wondering:

Owl starter = Rowlet
Cat starter = Litten
Sea lion starter = Popplio
Bug thing = Grubbin
Sharpteeth weasel = Yungoos
Bird = Pikipek
Rock dog = Iwanko*
Koala = Nekkoala*

The mascot legendaries are Solgaleo (Sun) and Lunala (Moon).

*Japanese name of a Pokemon whose English name has not yet been revealed

Grubbin doesn't look like it would have a butterfly or moth-based evolution. I want to see Game Freak take a different direction for the early Bug-type.

Usually when I think of a grub, I think of worms and flies, I know they aren't related, but that is what I think of when I think of grubs.. We it most likely being an Electric type based on it's description, I wouldn't mind it being a butterfly or moth. I think it will be a unique bug though. In Unova, all the bugs were fairly unique.

I still think we will get multiple bug lines this generation. Wouldn't mind having another spider pokemon either.

There is a bug in Hawaii that is endangered known as the Pomace Fly, so it would be a great addition to the bug types, especially if it turns into electric and not flying. But they may use it in a different bug line.

MarinoKadame June 22nd, 2016 7:53 AM

For me Grubbin either go for a Fly or a Beetle.

WingsofBliss June 22nd, 2016 8:34 AM

To go along with the conservation theme of the new Pokemon, I think having around 70-90 Alola-native Pokémon would be fitting. I would hope to get a bigger number than that, as I too would like to use all of the new Pokémon for my team... but on the other hand, there's plenty of older ones that I like and wouldn't mind using on my team. My favorite Water-type is Shellos, and I hope we can obtain it in Alola.

Drake22ice June 22nd, 2016 8:36 AM

So there is apparently a Coconut rhinoceros beetle that has a grub larvae stage, so they might go off of that for Grubbin. it kinda looks like Heracross, but I can see them making it look like a coconut, which could be cool. But I am hoping for something electric inspired.

This time last games, we ha more information and even Noivern, Sylveon, Skrelp, and Clauncher were released. WE NEED MORE POKEMON!

Correction: It's the Alola region, not Kalos. It does remind me how people are still speculating a return to Kalos when I feel that Alola is already another isolated region to the point it won't happen.

Corrected it, I had Kalos on the brain since it was mentioned several times in this thread.{XD}

jappo June 24th, 2016 6:28 AM

Would be pretty random to have Kalos connected with Alola. Would be awesome, but random ;)

Crafteeh June 24th, 2016 10:37 AM

Spinda definetely needs a mega..i feel it has alot of potential.

Drake22ice June 24th, 2016 6:40 PM

I have a feeling that megas are not going to be numerous this time. The storyline might actually be the focus like a lot of great RPGS. It would really be cool to see a better connection with characters... including the pokemon that will be able to speak with the trainers through the rotomdex...so rumors say.

I cannot wait to see Eevee tell us about more ways it can evolve. I really hope to see a new Eevee

This generation most likely won't be so heavily focused on mega evolution and the concept of it, so we'll probably see like 2-3 megas at the most.

At least, I hope we won't hear much about megas. Not gonna lie, I was personally tired of hearing about mega evolution lore after Kalos and ORAS. x.x

There's also the possibility Mega Evolution may be scrapped so we may not get any new Megas at all and we'll only be getting Synchro (or Burst) Evolutions instead due to being the new mechanic.

After all the marketing and emphasis put on Mega Evolutions, I HIGHLY doubt they would completely scrap them. If Synchros do end up becoming a thing they'd portably just put greater emphasis on them but still have Megas.

Iceshadow3317 June 25th, 2016 9:02 PM

Yeah I highly doubt they are going to scrap Megas, especially when Prof. Sycamore was the Prof. of Megas. Would make little sense to stop it. That is basically what Gen 6 was entirely based around. Especially with the Mega Pokemon League in the anime where everyone basically has a type of Mega.

Anyway back on the subject of new pokemon. I said is another thread that Grubbin was based on a Larval Beetle. Which is also known as a grub. Apparnely they are the larva of Japanese Beetles, June Beetles and Chafers.

We have no confirmation, as of yet, how many evolutions Grubbin has, but it might pull a Wurmple, having 2 or 3 Evolution lines. I think 3 may be pushing it. It appeared in the WHF play through, but I am not sure if they caught it or showed the dex entry.

They did end up saying Grubbin has three stages and Yungoos has two stages.

blue June 26th, 2016 6:09 AM

I made the mistake in thinking Yungoos also had a 3 staged evolution. Grubbin will be interesting to see considering how 3 staged Bug-type Pokemon usually turn out completely different to their initial stages.

Pinkie-Dawn June 27th, 2016 10:33 AM

Considering the conversation theory and the demand for a dolphin Pokémon, I know one species that fits both categories.

There's also a legend on this species that Game Freak could take inspiration from for this potential Pokémon.

I'm sure that fake spider was Bug/Dark. But I am also hoping we get something with that type combination because we haven't had a Bug/Dark Pokemon yet and it could make for some cool design concepts.

Iceshadow3317 June 27th, 2016 2:12 PM

With what we know, we now have about 26 possible pokemon (counting Evolutions) on Route 1 Alone and we still have about 2 or 3 routes and a cave.

I am thinking Yungoos will be a version exclusive pokemon, because I think They might make Pikachu and Raichu #25 and 26 in the pokedex as a throwback. They said Yungoos had 1 evo, but not sure if they showed the dex entry, so it might still have a counterpart. Same with Grubbin, it my still have a branched evo. But Impossible to tell right now. I really with we could get the dex entries of Grubbin and Yungoos.

As cool of a concept it would be, I just cannot see it happening because one, the regional rodent is never version-exclusive and two, version exclusives never appear on the first route with wild encounters. X/Y sort-of did a thing with Weedle and Caterpie on Route 2, but neither line was truly version-exclusive because you could catch both in Santalune Forest anyway.

No I definitely remember it being Bug/Ghost. The whole point of it was that it was a ghost spider. :P

I think I saw it on Pokebeach. It was a fake leak. (there weren't any pictures or anything, just text)

I would still love to see a Bug/Ghost other than Shedinja, because Shedinja has a gimmick of always having 1HP and it's not very impressive otherwise so I want to see something sharing its type that doesn't rely on a gimmick.

I want a baby poison/dragon that evolves into serpent looking poison /dragon.. It lives in the Sulfur clouds from the volcano

TheLegendaryGuy June 27th, 2016 5:48 PM

I want a dragon/fairy type combination, because as far as i remember, we never have had such a type combination.(i may be incorrect) Such a Pokémon would posses awesome defense and special defense, with resistances to a number of types such as bug, dark, electric, fight, fire, water, etc.

Sabrewulf238 June 28th, 2016 9:50 AM

Am I crazy for thinking this name sounds perfect?

Nekkoala = Koazee (pronounced "Cozy")

It's a mix of Koala, Lazy (kind of) and the whole Z sound related to sleeping.

It would be cute if... There wasn't a Drowzee already..which is not a fave of mine.

Maybe Koama.. Pronounced coma

Since it's likely we'll get Nekkoala (and Iwanko) English names this weekend, nice to see your possible speculated name. That would actually not be a bad Nekkoala name if you ask me.

I suppose you could change the name to "Koazy" maybe? It still keeps the Z aspect. (and actually fits the lazy part more as well)

Aether June 29th, 2016 7:59 PM

I'm hoping we finally get a dolphin.

Again, I would like to see creepy sea-creature Pokémon...

Where's the X in that name? xD

I think it could be Snoala. A combo of Snooze and Koala.
