Disappointed that Incineroar is Fire/Dark.

I think it's a cool and good. People who want yet another fire/fighting for some reason get it in spirit.

Sane people get a typing that hasn't been done like 4 times already.

Tapu Koko got featured in the Z-move thing, but not in the guardians reveal - safe to assume it's fire/fairy based on the others typings?

Misty terrain is absolute bullshit and stupid and needed a buff or something and it doesn't look like they did anything to it. Halving dragon moves doesn't do a whole lot of good for fairy Pokemon

So SuMo is more or less a spiritual successor to all the things good about B2W2 and making them better? I'm down with that. :swoon:

It's hard to say what's the bigger surprise: Decidueye's typing or being able to fight freaking RED AGAIN.

Also I am so relieved that Alolan Persian looks a lot better in motion then in the still that got leaked. I love my big-headed cat friend.

Wally is a Koichi, he's actually about a foot taller than we see him as but is [presence] is too low for him to take his full form.

it does confirm, though, that Emboar is the far superior fire wrestlepokemon, because it has type advantage over Incineroar.

Because mega evolutions exist in this game, so it's still that universe. ORAS probably didn't happen at the same time as, uh, whatever the gen 1 remakes are eventually called.

They all have a terrain inducing ability. They probably gave then typings based on that.

Also their unique Z move is almost definitely a fairy move since thats the only typing they all share. It would also explain why it did gently caress all to the Probopass.

Seriously though, Grass/Ghost is wild and cool.

Also I finally get to use a Grass/Ghost type you don't need to trade to evolve which is fantastic.

Hmmm.... with the water starter being part Fairy... are they going to make Ghost type hit super effective on Fairy types now...? It would make it a double type triangle for the starters, and they like doing that
