It could technically be accessed with the flute. It's not their fault they never gave it out at all...

Except, it kind of is...

Not surprised. Shaymin's said you could get Oak's Letter in Diamond and Pearl as well.

Is it too late to point out the sarcasm you missed?
*Note: Sarcasm also applies to this message, in a self-deprecating way for not being more obvious*

Excited for Fire/Ghost Marowak~

I love the sandcastle one, but it's getting some hate on other forums in the same way of Vanilluxe.

Sandcastle is kind of eh for me. Not doing much for me. I guess I can understand the hate, but I'm not part of it.

Same. If this keeps up my entire team will be composed of Alola variants :lol

For a moment i thought alolan Meowth was a steel type.

I'm a little disappointed in Alolan Marowak just because it doesn't look quite different enough to me. The flaming bone was expected, but I kind of wish they did more with the skull to make it more Polynesian. Typing is cool though.

Meowth I just don't like.

Sandcastle is hilarious and I kind of dig it.

Bewear's pre-evo is pretty cute.

And the fish is.. interesting. Especially since it's supposed to be a form and not an evolution. Wonder how it works, to go from a single fish to a whole school.

Oh and Alolan forms are totally just gen 1 aren't they...

could it be possible to have crystal onix as a aloa form

Literally everyone thought of that. :lol

These newest Pokemon don't seem very interesting compared to previous reveals to me honestly. The sand castle Pokemon reminds me a lot of Desertman.EXE from Megaman Battle Network though so it has that going for it.

I loce Alolans, qnd the sandcastle's alright

Do you think we will get less new pokemon because they are inserting all the alolan form pokemon for this game?

Granted I don't mind the alolan forms so far, except alolan meowth.

Probably because of Megas doing the same thing

Makes sense, I guess they are sort of phasing out megas in this one, too many gimmicks and such.

I love Alolan Marowak. I don't like Alolan Meowth. I wonder if Alolan's Meowth will be use in the anime for Team Rocket in the near future?

I kind of want to see one of Ash's alola companions catch alola Meowth, because irony.

I haven't watch the Pokemon anime since like 2004. I remember I stop when May and Max show up in the show. I got up half through that season and stop. I hear the X and Y TV show is pretty decent.

I think there will be Team Skull grunts that are gender swapped versions of Jessie & James who act like counterparts to them and they will have a female Alola Meowth. And the classic Meowth will be smitten with the new one and they’ll play the Romeo & Juliet shtick again. Because that would be something really old and stupid the anime would love to do I imagine.

Disclaimer: I haven't watched the anime in like 10 years but we all know that it's predictable as f*.

Also, @Topic: The event Darkrai will get a second round, just like Hoopa and Mew did. US get’s the codes over the newsletter, nothing announced for EU yet which probably means the same "NAMEOFTHEPOKEMON2016" code will give you a Darkrai over WiFi.

XY received a much needed animation bump, so visually, it looks a lot better than the others. From what I told, story telling is a little better, too.

Gamexplain did a video talking with chuggaaconroy about how good the X and Y anime has been. They've said the show has brought on people that have actually worked on other sucessful anime.

I'm really loving those Alola forms. Marowak looks really cool.

Yeah the storytelling has improved considerably and jesus christ it has some of the best battles i have seen relating to Pokemon.

The last half of the episode send chills down my spine.

I remember reading that they wanted Ash's journey to end at Kanto and they wanted a new main character with each new region, but Ash was too popular to get rid of. Each game has a new main character, so the anime having a new trainer in each region could have work.

I'm imagining some alternate universe where this happened we would have gotten a "Pokemon Advanced generation 12 years after" kind of special to promote ORAS.

I also remember reading they wanted Ash to find his father in the Johto region or he would have fought against him at the Elite Four in Kanto. The anime has been on going for so long, even kids today know who Ash is.

I don't watch the anime but I want Ash's last region to be Kalos. Unless Serena goes with, those two have more chemistry than any other ship in the fandom

Think what heard is people behind the anime thought kids where going to be confused if the changed protagonist In Pokemon anime so they kept it with ash. So the orginal concept of the anime became the Pokemon adventures manga.

Digimon changes the protagonist. I think kids at the time would have been okay if the Johto anime had a new protagonist. I feel like after Johto in the anime, they should have retire Ash.

A new Pokemon was missed in Corocoro and it's one that has been seen in a leak.

A sea cucumber that, instead of ejecting some kind of filament, just spits out a fist?
I'm down.

Sea Cucumbers vomit up their lungs.

I honestly didn't know what sea cucumbers spat out. I just used 'filament' because "Sticky stuff" didn't sound right :lol

Well they vomit up their lungs. Through their anuses.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_y4DbZivHCY
Such a marvelous creature that I most certainly will train.

I knew it came through their anus. I just didn't want to bring it up because sea cucumbers aren't exactly the most...Dignified creatures (And I'm pretty sure Pokemon wants to make it super clear that this new Pokemon is spitting it's fistlung through it's mouth)

Imma name mine Larry.

It's so cute I want to hug it! Most pokemon revealed this gen are surprisingly great tbh

I'm naming mine Kevin after the character from SpongeBob.

"Wow, I didn't know this was a hat!"
"It wasn't..."
