Pokemon Sun and Moon Starters Revealed

[Skyblade]

Wow. Great feels with this one. Getting started in a new country with no friends? Pokemon has your back!

Although the kid just totally pulled a Gary Oak and switched to the Fire Type after learning the other kid picked the Grass Type...

[Depression Moon]

If I ever get this game I'm going with this one. What I'm more excited about is trainer customization. Since your character is pretty much a blank slate and I don't get many characters ever in games that look like me I can finally make a black trainer. I just hope it includes some black hairstyles.

By the way, in other Pokemon news... There's a Shiny Xerneas event going on via WiFi Mystery Gift. Just connect via WiFi with any of the 3DS games.

litten for me. and sun.



psst hey fynn... what happened to no spoilers

No spoilers after the announcement of starters, legendaries and the region That's the info I usually knew before the Internet. So here's hoping I can keep it up!

[Skyblade]

Well, more Sun/Moon news dropped. This time, the Type of the Legendaries, their Abilities and Signature Moves, and the inclusion of a Rotom-possessed Pokedex.

[Galuf]

those are cool new types for legenderies

[CimminyCricket]

It doesn't make sense for a Sun pokemon to be psychic. It should be fire! :C

[TheKeybasHKey]

I don't know if there typing has to do with something with the Third one.

Maybe the 3rd is Psychic Dark?

(have we had that yet?)

[Sephiroth]

Oh Japan you did it again. You made something weird and used to it make the world better.

I cannot wait for Pokémon Moon to be full of Umbreon, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Nidoran, Lunatone, Cresselia, etc. And Sun should focus on Fire and Plant.

(have we had that yet?)

Inkay, Malamar, and Hoopa Unbound are the only ones.

I don't think they'd go Psychic-Dark, though. Currently, the other two Types have no interaction with each other. Psychic-Dark would be super-effective against Lunala, and normal effective against Solgaleo. Which just seems weird.

I think it's more likely we'll hit a secondary type that doesn't interact with the other two. But, unfortunately, there is no Type that fits that mold. So I have no clue.

[Del Murder]

I love Psychics, so those are some cool types. It is odd that the Sun one is weak to fire while Moon is double weak to dark!

[TheKeybasHKey]

(have we had that yet?)

Hoopa Unbound was Psychic/Dark.

I think i know why Solgaleo is Steel, it has to do with the Sun... But still it doesn't clear me why Lunala is Ghost, like what it has to do with the moon?

The only options there are Dark and Ghost, which are strong against the Psychic (and Ghost) Type that they share. Nothing hits both Ghost and Steel super effectively.

Unless we get a new Type, but I doubt that.

The one which best fits a "do nothing" interaction is Electric. Doesn't hit either Super-effectively, but it does resist Steel.
