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

Fairy could always stand to be taken down a peg.

I kind of wish that the Guardian of Alola was either the Ground or Rock Z-Move instead.

Could also be a gen IV situation where the secondary types work for the designs rather than balance.

Steel weak to fighting and ground, ground and fighting weak to neither. :shrug:

This trailer has everything.

The starters aren't flops.
The legendaries are really unique for pseudo palette swaps.
There's a PWT style post-game.
We still get a League.

Even Alolan Persian came in clutch with great abilities.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
This is the description for Incineroar on Serebii:

quote:

As its fighting spirit increases, the flames that Incineroar produces within its body burst from its navel and waistline. Since the flames somewhat resemble a championship belt, they’re known as its “flame belt,” and the Pokémon unleashes moves that use flames from it. In the heat of battle, Incineroar shows no concern for its opponents—and sometimes even launches attacks that strike the opposing Trainer! As a result, many tend to dislike this Pokémon and keep it at a distance. If a crowd watching it battle is pumped up, Incineroar’s fighting spirit will burn brighter. But a lackluster crowd can make it lose focus or fight shoddily. When it receives the admiration of young Pokémon and children, it may keep up its cold attitude on the outside, but in its heart of hearts, Incineroar is immensely happy. It loses the desire to fight when faced with a Pokémon that’s clearly weak or injured, and it sometimes gets taken advantage of as a result.

Yeah? Red's face at least looks a lot older and he's taller than Blue now.

I'm happy Red and Blue are friends again and are taking a vacation to Hawaii together. And that Red still doesn't speak.

Is it meant to be for double battles to heal an ally or is it for something else?

Could be like Smelling Salts where it does more damage if they're burned and cures it.

Or a spread move like surf that incidentally heals your ally in a double battle.

It doesn't seem very good if dies simply what it says. Maybe if it does double damage to burned targets but Sparkling Aria + Scald is pretty redundant. On the surface at least the other 2 starters' signature moves seem better. Gonna have to see how it's applied.

Sparkling Aria might be Fairy type, given that Decidueye's arrow signature move is ghost type and Darkest Lariat seems very likely to be Dark type

Alright so Decidueye is Fumikage Tokoyami and Incineroar is Endeavor, though I'm not sure which MHA character would fit for Primarina

In the Japanese trailer it looks like it's a Pokemon that comes up in the story from time to time. It might be Lillie's Pokemon.

You see it before you even get a pokemon, also "what legendary pre evolution? this is just an early pokemon someone has, isn't it cute? just a cute pokemon, surely doesn't contain a shocking secret that will change the story"

Pretty sure the official site confirmed it was a water special move. Hopefully Sparkling Aria turns out better than in sounds since Primarina is the best starter with the best name (They're all good)
