Will mega-evolution be available in Sun and Moon ? Please tell me it's not going to be quietly ignored in favor of that new gay dance supermove.

As I've said, I don't think they'll cut out something like Mega Evolution, especially since it gave a new lease on life for certain Pokemon. Meanwhile, these limit break moves, which still occupy an item slot, and can only be used once per battle, will not fill that kind of vacuum. Besides, there's far more ground to cover in terms of Mega Evolution, and if they are going to announce it, it'll probably be close to release. It would be cool to see the Key Stone be a thing where you can choose what item houses it, but that's just me.

I doubt they'll get rid of it. I imagine that it may be a post-game thing, though, especially if they want to emphasize the z-moves. I can't see z-moves being very useful competitively, except maybe with a speedy, late-game sweeper. Honestly, it just feels like a "win button" for the Brianna Wus of the world.

I still play out of a need for an RPG to kill 6-8 hours. I have friends in the competitive scene and it does interest me a little. To stay on topic I don't think they'll drop mega evolution after the impact it's had on the metagame and TCG. But as said above move it to post game or find a way to make it less useful. Like with this new island challenge if it's not straight battle a mega would be useless.
 
Talking about those cray new designs, I want 20 Littens and like 50 Mimikyus.


Sadly, I stopped at Emerald because my shitty nephew stole the cartidge and I was long over the pokemon crazy of the 90s. I got major nostalgic feels out the ass when fanartists started drawing the different "types" of bulbafamily and Mega Venusaur was unveiled.
That is to say, Bulbasaur's evolutionary line was always my starter jam even if I got shit for picking "the easy" option.

I have such a hard time picking a fave as I enjoyed most of Gen 1 and some of the later generations.
Gotta go with this little shit:

You are never too macho to have a pink fairy puff on your badass team after it hyperbeams a friend's legendary bird to death.
-Granted metronome wasn't as reliable later on, but I got attached to the thing.

Gamefaqs member HiddenDoorway helped break down the contents of what is currently the most realistic looking leak, known by many as the "Chinese Leak" due to it supposedly coming from someone who is related to a member of the Chinese translation team of Sun and Moon:

HiddenDoorway said:
It seems like every person has a different idea of what the Chinese leaks are, and if you're going to talk about them you might as well at least know what they say.

- There is only one 'Chinese Leak'. Stop referring to literally every leak as a Chinese leak. The leak with the alolan forms, the one with the white pidove, the obviously fake Pokedex leak, etc. have nothing to do with this leak. It's also important to note that the reference sheets of the three starter evolutions is not this leak either, although it does mention the starter evolutions and they do match up with those images.

- The leak never states that diamonds in the logo will allow Pokemon to transform. It says that the bracelet works by using stones that 'strengthen moves' and says that there is one for each type. It also says that there is another type of stone that you can collect that will allow Pokemon to transform, and this is how Ash Greninja transforms.

- In the actual post it literally says that the OP got the information from a relative working for the Chinese translation team, now that China is apart of the worldwide release. Because of this, it uses many terms that don't match up with the terms we know in English. But that's because they have different terms in Chinese (And really every language has different terms for these things) for things like Kahunas and Totem Pokemon. It says that there are no Gyms and instead they are replaced by Island Captains, and that the elite four is replaced by island Kings. It also mentions powerful Pokemon that control certain districts of each island named 'Overlords'. Island Captain, Kings, and Overlord Pokemon are the Chinese terms for Trial Captains, Kahunas, and Totem Pokemon respectively.


Here is everything the Chinese leak has stated and gotten right:
- There are Trial Captains, Kahunas, and Totem Pokemon. The official Chinese names are also used correctly.
- This is only partially correct, but it mentions that the new bracelet will have something to do with the strength of moves.
- New Pokemon include a Fire/Poison lizard (Salandit), a mushroom (Morelull), and a sea cucumber (Pyukumuku).

Here is everything the Chinese leak has stated and hasn't been confirmed:
- Trial Captains replace Gym Leaders, Kahunas replace the Elite Four.
- Part of the story will be Kukui encouraging the player to create a standard Pokemon League in Alola.
- Similar to Mega Evolution, some stones can be collected that will allow Pokemon to transform.
- PokeRide allows basically every Pokemon to be ridden.
- New Pokemon include a Rockruff evolution that is a werewolf, a snowman, a ball throwing monkey (Many translate this as Rugby Monkey, and that's probably what it is, but it's not absolutely certain), and a dolphin Pokemon. Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio evolve into an archer, wrestler, and siren respectively.
- The trademarked Pokemon 'Marshadow' has a unique typing.

I really don't care if you believe it or not, and there are parts of it that are very clearly bullshit, like nearly every Pokemon being able to be ridden via PokeRide. But I'm just kind of tired of everyone talking about it without actually knowing what it says.

Y'all look at this depressing ass card I got today. :(

I never was into the main games. I do like Mystery Dungeon and I played the hell out of Pokemon Pinball in the day.

But... that Snorlax. That Z move.
