a tad far-fetched, but I could see it happen

I see what you did there.

[BWYuko]

Looks like it's based on the "Napoleon fish" or humphead wrasse. And yeah it's that ugly in real life, if not uglier.

It's based on the Pugil -- Pokemon is finally honoring me, so suck it!

It's based on the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a you cultureless fucks.
It's Hawaii's state fish. I mean c'mon.

Considering most if not all of the rest of us know jack shit about Hawaii as well as the majority of other places where we don't visit/live, I think its a bit too high in expectations for us to know looking at it what its based on.

Its like going into Twitch chat and expecting them to know molecular physics.

[BWYuko]

That was the joke. Dot jpeg.

[Omniyoji]

Yes! That's the fish thanks Yuko.

[BWYuko]

Triggerfish are jerks. Very pretty, but not good aquarium fish like other Hawaiian butterfly fish. If confined to close quarters, they tend to rip to shreds whatever other hapless creature is sharing its tank.

The one in the game is psychic!!!

I wish I had enough money to take a trip to hawaii for the game release and sit on a balcony overlooking the beach and waste every day of the trip playing pokemon.

New Fire/Poison type pokemon revealed, Salandit.

[Robertfb]

CoroCoro released images and info on two new pokemon for Sun/Moon.

One on left is Kiteruguma and is a normal/fighting type, it can have the Fluffy ability or Klutz ability, it resembles a bear.

One on the right is Mimikikyu and is a ghost/fairy type and is known as the "Disguise" Pokemon, it has a new ability called "Disguise" and it is noted in CoroCoro that it bears resemblance to Pikachu.




Edit: Lore for the two are listed in the issue and it is translated as such (copied from Serebii.net)

People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anytthing in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger.
Mimikkyu hates sunlight, preferring dark places. It is rumoured that the cloth covering its body is a strategy to avoid the sun. Don't try to remove the cloth it is said that those that do become afflicted with an illness. Mimikkyu's costume is based on Pikachu merch that was popular 20 years ago. It wants to be loved by people like Pikachu is.

[Omniyoji]

LOL Mimikikyu's awesome. It only wants to be loved.

[Lyall]

That bear's on my team. Please don't evolve into something dumb, you are perfect as you are.

[Moss]

normal/fighting??? weak typing

ghost/fairy is cool tho

[Akiyama]

normal/fighting??? weak typing

ghost/fairy is cool tho

only other poke like this is Meloetta's form. 2x weak to fairy, fighting, flying, psychic, 1/2 weak to bug, dark, ghost, null to ghost.

[Scythiroth]

Mimikkyu looks hilarious.

[Roundelk]

Mega Lopunny is normal/fighting.

[Robertfb]

New JP trailer is out showing off alot of the new features (we apparently will get Battle Poses? lol, blowdrying Pikachu, etc), Also shows off both of the CoroCoro pokemon (although for the ghost one it seems it appears briefly during the trading scene).

[Robertfb]

Also for those that wanted that dual game steelbook thing that JP is getting, its coming over to US/EU as well, listed on Amazon for 90 bucks.

This is a question about X&Y.

You know the legendary events going on this year. It says you need to access pokemon bank and you'll get the 3 gigas pokemon. Do you need to purchase the pass for 5 bucks to do so? D:

[Omniyoji]

Yes
