Oh apparently I didn't share the fun fact I found out about Pokemon a couple months ago. Some of you probably don't, but for the 10,000 this is for you:

Pokemon don't evolve in a technically sense, since it's within a single lifespan, and in a more technical sense it would be metamorphosis that they go through to transform from one stage to another, much like many insects do.

The problem is "metamorphosis" in Japan, while having different kanji(or whatever), is....hentai which is a homonym for a thing you don't want in a kids game.

 

So that's the story of why it's evolution n all those extremist Christians got pissed at launch n poor kids grew up without Pokemon or Harry Potter.

I normally go with the Fire or Water-type starter Pokemon, though Treecko was the exception. I kinda like owls, mainly because they were my grandmother's favorite animal. It's kinda cute and I find it more appealing than the sea lion clown. The cat, Litten, I could see turning into a kickass Fire Dual type tiger in its final stage. It could easily be Fire/Dark, like Houndoom, but maybe they'll surprise us with something like Fire/Poison.

Who here, if anyone, currently has a completed (beaten Elite 4) Pokemon X/Y file?  I wish to TRADE with you.  Not that I want to collect or give anything in particular.  No, what I want are all your tasty endgame friend safaris.

 

If you don't know what I'm talking about, that's fine.  You don't need to.  The process of being online at the same time as me and trading a pokemon will get us access to each other's friend safaris which means we each get access to fun exclusive pokemon.  I currently seek cool pokemon that can be accessed only in friend safaris so I will trade with all of you until I get what I need.

 

0602-6436-1971 is my 3DS friend code.  My time zone is CST (Wisconsin).  I do not work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of this coming week because my life is awesome sometimes.  Send me your code.  Send me a time.  I will be there.

Never mind.  Thanks for responding, but it turns out there's a dedicated sub reddit for this feature.  Because of course there is.  Why actually interact with people when you can reduce the game to a faceless pursuit of them min maxed monsters?

I don't know why Arbok even exists.  Gamefreak kinda messed up because Seviper that came in a later gen is literally the exact same thing but better.  Same type (poison).  Same snake with fangs design.  Almost identical move pools and usefulness.  The difference?  Seviper has better stats and looks cooler and is literally in every way the same thing but better.

 

Normally they do a good job of having one creature not just "replace" another and giving each creature a niche.  But Ekans/Arbok have got zero going for them any more.

I'm genuinely excited for Sun and Moon after all the leaked info. I also like the Alolan Forms and can't wait to use a Ice-Fairy type Ninetales. Only downside will be, according to the leaked info, the non-Alola versions will have to be transferred over from other games. Not really a big shocker at first as recent Pokemon games usually have made you work in getting old-gen Pokemon.

 

If anyone hasn't seen the leaked info, I can always post a few things here if need be.

From what I've seen so far it looks kinda neat, but I'll mainly be skipping it as I've still yet to finish Alpha Sapphire.

 

@atomsk88: as in if you want a none ghost/fire type Marowak you'd need to trade with a non SUMO game, or do you mean if you want to have Marowak (as in a gen 1 pokemon) in SUMO you'd need to transfer it as there's no wild marowaks to catch in SUMO?
