    Right, I am extremely happy with Litten's evolution. This just further confirms my choice to use it in my first play through! Ash-Greninja though? Nope.
     
    Oh man, these evolutions are great. The Rowlett evolution is hilarious. Only concerned about his hair I see.
     
    I liked the starters and all but ....... WHAT THE **** ASH-GRENINJA IS IN THE GAME?
     
    I knew Rainbow Greninja wasn't in the games, but I still kinda though Ash-Greninja would be. I didn't think they would not put it in the game with it being as popular as it was and already being in the TCG.

    Litten's Evo is by far my favorite and I am not a fan of Rowlet's. Poppilio is kinda what I expected. I think this could further give some more hope for split final evos. Because all of them will have a extremely drastic changes in the ones we know.
     
    I KNEW IT WAS STARTER EVOS AGREE WITH ME GUYS

    Anyways, I actually think that for the usually awkward teen middle stages, they are actually pretty good. Dartrix looks really dapper and seeing its eye expression in Pokemon Refresh was funny. Torracat has a collar with a "bell" that contains a flame, which definitely would transition into that belt the leaked Litten final evo has (as if we knew they were real all along). Brionne looks more like a real person's name than a Pokemon, but damn it's so fabulous and adorable, and will definitely confirm Popplio's line as the long-awaited feminine Water starter.

    Megas being confirmed to return was hinted at with the Jangmo-o article that mentioned Mega Gardevoir, but I still doubt we'll get no new Megas unfortunately. Ash Greninja also confirmed, so I guess that's a Chinese leak or something confirmed as well.

    Anyways, thank you for something great news-wise after a quiet few weeks or so.
     
    I was the second person to view the video! :D
    I like all 3, still choosing popplio.
    But why ash-greninja? Nobody likes it

    That isn't really true. A LOT of people especially in Japan loves Ash-Greninja. And A lot of people in America also liked it. It was already in the TCG and they were pretty hard to find in some areas.

    That is what made Greninja so popular in Japan.
     
    Just found out the demo comes out October 18th. That's actually exactly a month out from the release of the games in most countries.

    Anyways, as Icy said there is a lot of sense as to why Ash Greninja was going to be in the game. Greninja was voted Japan's favourite Pokemon in a poll earlier this year, and Greninja has appeared in various Pokemon media on a prominent basis , such as the anime, TCG and being a playable character in Super Smash Bros 4. It was imminent from the beginning.
     
    I was admittedly just expecting starter evos from this reveal, but like final forms and not middle forms. But this also revealed some other things too.

    I'm not entirely sure why Mega Evolution being back was part of the trailer though, it was kinda obvious that a) it would return and b) there weren't gonna be any new ones.

    Not to mention that the Ash-Greninja form was included in Shuffle and Picross just like the Zygarde's formes were. After the Zygardes were confirmed I became 99.99% sure it would be a game thing and it paid off in the end <3.
     
    im completely in love with litten's evo!! I'm happy with all the designs to be honest (except ash greninja. foh)
     
    All the starter evolutions look awesome. Dartrix is just so slick with the hair pullback. Torracat is awesome and still quadrepedal which I love. Brionne is still a little goofy to me but I still kinda like it.

    MEvolutions coming back is interesting, although I hope they rein in some of the more powerful ones (such as Kanga).

    Ash-Greninja...uhh it's cool I guess. I know why, it's Japan's favourite Pokemon as of right now and Western audiences also liked it. It just doesn't sit right with me.

    Probably to just kept people to stop saying it wasn't back.

    And those starters are cool. Litten's is nice, but I'm still staying Team Rowlett.

    Knew Ash Greninja was coming, and happy, as it's pretty cool.

    The demo out in two weeks is also amazing, can't wait!
