Holy shit, Wimpod's evolution is awesome. I was hoping the little guy would be this generation's Magikarp and it looks like that might be true.

Yet another fire-fighting starter Pokémon. Because 3 wasn't enough?

A lot of people think it's gonna be a fire dark since it looks like a wrestling heel plus the color scheme. It would also fit the apparent theme of the gen 7 starters having secondary type advantage over the gen 6 starters (fire/dark > fire/psychic, grass/flying > grass/fighting, water/fairy over water/dark)
 
i'm downloading the demo now, but i'm too busy to play it for most of today. unfortunate.

I didn't sleep enough and I can't write for shit today, apparently.

Litten3 wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't more of the same thing. Incredibly boring.

Pop3 is chunky and clunky. The flourishes and frills look completely random and contribute nothing but visual noise. I don't see a majestic creature because my eyes are too busy darting around trying to figure out what's important or being emphasized, or what the focal point is.

Robin Hoot is scrawny and weak. It's the personification of every shrill, squeaky nerd stereotype I can remember, and what's with the wings? They look like trimmed styrofoam plates, with random dots puked on to distract you from the sloppy attempt at making it look feathered.

Might as well post the most current (I believe) version of the data mine. Obviously spoilers:

I've seen a lot of complaints about Alolan Persian, but I really like its dumb mug.

We're talking about their designs and I gave my opinion. Most people just hit disagree and move on. Are you upset?

Rowlett's final evo is certainly the highlight of the bunch for me, I'm still going with Popplio because gotta have dat water starter.

I don't know what to do honestly. I like the Rowlet but I also like the toucan. I like Litten but I really love that salamander and that cool fire turtle. And I like Popplio but there are a number of cool water pokemon this gen like Wimpod.

I'll have to try raising a whole bunch of monsters to see what I like, but the starter choice will definitely be a tough one for me.
 
I'm still pretty undecided about my team. Guess I'll just have to catch a bunch of shit and see what sticks, but so far I do know I like a lot of the alolan forms more than a few of the new pokemon introduced.

Glad I've always been a Grass-Starter kinda person. I mean I like Poplio's final evolution, too, but Rowlet's is the highlight for me. Still haven't managed to connect with Litten's, and I'm a bit bummed that's the actual design. Ah well, it might grow on me in time.

Salandit is still a definite. That evolution looks really, really, fucking cool. I think Wimpod might actually be the water-type I'd use because dat evo, man. Wonder what secondary typing it'll get with that? But I'm also interested in that unnamed Poke'mon that was initially leaked on the side of the TCG box that Amazon used for their image of the new cards. Looks like it could be a Water/Poison with all those spines.

Alolan Persian is such a derp I can't hate it. I really want to know what typing Alolan Geodude/Graveler/Golem become, and frankly I really don't like Alolan Diglette and Dugtrio.

And those UBs. I really need to know what's going on with those and if I can catch them because there's a couple I love the designs of.
 
I'm thinking that the base of my team is going to be either ArcherOwl/Alolan Marowak/Slowbro or LuchaCat/Alolan Exeggutor/Slowbro, but I'm legitimately having trouble deciding. The fact that HMs are most likely gone opens things up a lot for me, which I really like.

I've played the demo for a bit; there seem to be some minor framerate issues, and I don't like how small a lot of the menu options on the touchscreen are when battling, especially for items, but, other than that, everything seems to work really well. I like that they've made Water Shuriken a special, rather than physical, move, which makes it way more useful; Battle Bond changes its animation, too, and may make it stronger aside from Greninja's increased stats.

RIP moving with the D-pad and bench sitting.

Also, Alolan Dugtrio is Hanson. Thinking about it for a minute, the back head of Alolan Dugtrio looks kind of like Chris because of the hair.

I'm hoping the framerate issue gets fixed up before the release dates. It's not anywhere near as bad as ORAS was (at least for me) so hopefully they can work out a way to keep the framrate from dropping too badly.

I noticed post-trial portion of the demo, talking to certain people results in them saying you should come back in a certain amount of days to talk to them again. I have one who wants me to come back in 5, another in 15, and another in 24. I've already gotten a Star Piece and Gold Nugget that I can transfer to the games once they're released, so I'm thinking attending these events will reward me with more gifts I can shift over to my game.

I'm getting that too. I would've figured a New 3DS wouldn't get them but even one of those has them. Though I only really noticed it during a battle against two Pokemon whenever the camera zoomed out to show both of them.

Probably. According to people in 'Straya, the day two guy standing next to the Pokemon Center gives 10 Pretty Wings.

I have a 2DS. I noticed a bit in the backgrounds during some cinematic scenes, as well as when the Totem Hakamo-o summoned Rockruff (which went away when I KO'd the Rockruff).
