The latest trailer is out and it has me so excited that I have to post about it this week. As usual, I will go in trailer order so I can keep my thoughts organized. Let's jump into it!
Silvally
Type:Null has an evolution. I joked in an earlier post that if it had a faster, unmasked form, I would hate to meet it in battle. Silvally is that unmasked form and I don't know if it's faster but it is certainly more intimidating. This evolution is a great improvement from the previous design. I like it much more than Type:Null. It's ability is RKS system. RKS....Arceus....coincidence? I think not. This Pokémon is literally a man-made Arceus with color-changing depending upon type and held item ability and a move that changes type to match the current type of the Pokémon. This has Aether Foundation written all over it. I don't know what's scarier: the fact that someone made a synthetic Arceus or whatever beast Silvally is meant to face. Either way, I am excited for the storyline of this game.
Hakamo-o and Kommo-o
Jangmo-o evolves into Hakamo-o then later into Kommo-o. They are both Dragon/Fighting type and I can't believe that I called that when I was speculating in an earlier post. The typing is different and the designs are amazing. I think Kommo-o may have too many scales but other than that, it's not bad. I even like it's special move: Clanging Scales. I don't know if I will use a Jangmo-o but I will enjoy seeing it and its evolutions in the game.
Steenee and Tsareena
Bounsweet evolves into Steenee and later Tsareena. Steenee is cute but Tsareena.....um....not so much. I don't like this design at all. In fact, I was quite disappointed in this design. I think it's the legs. I don't think they fit with Bounsweet...plus it's move Trop Kick makes no sense because Tsareena's feet are just points. Queenly Majesty prevents priority moves which is great but why didn't they just give it Bruxish's ability? It's the same ability...just a different name. At any rate, they went the Gardevoir route for the evolutions and it didn't really work this time. If they had gone more fruit-like in the evolutions then they probably would have been much better. Still, they're not terrible.
Ribombee
Cutiefly's evolution is confirmed! This thing is very cute but still seems lacking in color. It's Bug/Fairy typing is cool and it is a great evolution for Cutiefly. Honey Gather just seems like an ability picked because it's a bee and convenient. Honey Gather isn't really helpful in battle. Why not give it Pixellate or Sweet Veil? I just hope this isn't another Combee that's cute but has horrible abilities and stats.
Alolan Grimer and Muk
More Alolan forms and boy do these disappoint - sort of. I don't like Alolan Grimer's design at all. I like Alolan Muk with its moving bands of color. I also don't like the typing. They went from Poison to Poison/Dark. Surely, Game Freak, you have more imagination than that. Still, it's not bad. I do like Muk and at least they are different from regular Grimers and Muks. I just feel like they could have done so much more with their designs.
Olivia
The Kahuna of Akala Island is lovely. She appears to use Rock types and I wonder if she's related to Grant. My only issue with this character is her outfit. I feel that it's a bit revealing for a character in a game that is meant for children. Other than that, I like her look and can't wait to battle her.
Ilima
Ilima (I hope that' s 'Il' not 'Ll') is the newest revealed Trial Captain. This Captain specializes in Normal types. I like Ilima's look but I am having difficulty determining his/her gender. It's hard to tell..but I'm going to assume he's a guy. I wonder if he will use Pokémon that are Normal type only or primary Normal type like Pidgey. Either way, I can't wait to start taking the Trial Challenges! Bring it on!
Well that's it for now. The demo is in 3 days and I still don't know if I want to play it or not. November can't get here soon enough! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post and if so, follow me so you won't miss future posts. Leave a comment below telling me how you felt about the latest Sun/Moon trailer. Until next time, keep on gaming!
