Alolan Grimer and Muk look really great. Grimer's model is better than his artwork, and Muk has nice subtle changes (the crystals sticking out of it, and the way its eyes are more angry looking).
And they're probably not going to buff M-Banette either. That's a shame.Man.....this is so great yet so disappointing because it's probably going to be the only nerf....since they only care about VGCs. Can except 0 nerfs to mega mence or even ones like m-diancie.
I think giving steel and poison more coverage to beat fairies is something I want, like, really REALLY want.
The evidence from the French and German names for Silvally suggest that, in general, its name is a more straightforward combination of a word for "silver" plus a word for "ally" or "friend" (French Silvallié = silver + allié [French "ally"], German Amigento = ami [French "friend"] + argento [Italian & rare poetic Spanish "silver"]). I can imagine the English localisation team might have enjoyed the subtle "Silicon Valley" vibe, though.Yep. Also, Silvally, and it's relation with "memories" and technology is in it's name. Silicon Valley.
Game Freak must like living paradox PokémonWait! Komo-o's move decreases DEF?
But but but it looks like a S.ATK-based move, what's the point Game Freak?
Well it has to give up its own scales to use the move...Wait! Komo-o's move decreases DEF?

I fail to see your point. Kommo has a lot of empashis on attack and defense. Lowering one of its best stats is a worthy trade off if its damage is high enough.Wait! Komo-o's move decreases DEF?

Interesting...There is a legend that says Kommo-o is covered in glittering scales in order to drive away a great darkness covering the world. The reason these Pokémon seek out battle is to gain the power needed to defeat this darkness.
Arceus' Specie name is alfa in spanishMeanwhile, the spanish translation team completely missed it and called it Alpha System.
Well, it could work.
Probably not. Unless they changed how the second hit affects moves with secondary effects (So we still have Power-Up Punch shenanigans) and fixed damage moves (200 HP Seismic Tosses are painful)Oh well, Khanga might actually be used in smogon formats! :D
.... wait. KHANGA MIGHT BE USED IN SMOGON FORMATS ?! D:

Gamefreak likes to make bad pokemon. I'm kind of worried that they're going to make it another Goodra.Wait! Komo-o's move decreases DEF?
But but but it looks like a S.ATK-based move, what's the point Game Freak?
uh, my bad. I thought it droped the TARGET'S defense, not from the user...I fail to see your point. Kommo has a lot of empashis on attack and defense. Lowering one of its best stats is a worthy trade off if its damage is high enough.
Huh, that's pretty neat actually. Makes me wonder what the Japanese name stands for.Just pointing this out:
RKS System: Arr Kee Ess System (Arceus System).
In spanish: Sistema Alfa (Alpha System) -- Arceus is categorized as the Alpha Pokémon.
Junichi Masuda (and if not him then someone else at Game Freak) brought up potentially nerfing it a while ago iircI'm liking that Parental Bond has been nerfed. Definitely something I didn't expect.
Gamefreak does pay attention to what happens at VGC worlds and can be reliably expected to nerf the most obnoxious things they see there (also why they changed the timer system). That's why auto weather was nerfed to 5 turns after gen 5. This gen, it seems to be priority (particularly bravest bird) and megas getting nerfs.I'm liking that Parental Bond has been nerfed. Definitely something I didn't expect.
