The koala looks interesting, I might train one. I thought it would be the regional Route 1 Normal-type before Yungoos was announced. Yungoos doesn't seem half bad either. It has two awesome Abilities, but I fear that its Stats will be rather lackluster like most regional rodents' Stats. The dog is cute, but I'm not very impressed because it's yet another dog Pokémon. The only thing it has going for it is its Rock-type. Pikipek is adorable, I'll probably catch one to be my basic team's Flyer. Grubbin is a bug, nuff said. As for the legendaries, I couldn't care less. Battle Royal seems cool. It reminds me of Pokéathlon's Ring Drop in HGSS. I used to love Pokéathlon. I know I'll be spending a lot of time with Battle Royal. We can now see our Pokémon's altered Stats and how our moves will affect the opponent? All right! It's incredible how there are still so many things that can be improved about the basic gameplay.  |

Here's the Pokemon Sun and Moon demonstration video that was shown at the Nintendo Treehouse @ E3: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC-uLg_5RIA
When I first saw Iwanko I felt that same joy I do when seeing a real life puppy, that is why I find Iwanko to be the cutest of the puppy-based Pokémon. With it looking so adorable, then its evolution will look cool (with some cuteness left in). It is a simple design for it and that's what this game is going for. There was an interview a long while back were it was said the Generation 7 Pokémon will have simple designs, just like the Generation 1 Pokémon had. |

Design-wise Pikipek is my favorite of the three newest revealed mons, but as always the final evolution will be the deciding factor for me. Its design is darn near perfect for a woodpecker pokemon and being able to use Skill Link so early in the game should be fun.
Grubbin looks interesting, as perhaps it will be our first three stage beetle pokemon (assuming it has three stages like other early Bug types that start out as larva).
Yungoos... nice abilities but I can't handle those teeth. :@_@: They are hilarious and disconcerting at the same time. I hope its evolution grows into them a bit.
<><><>
In more detail on how well done I think Pikipek is, here's how they got down the woodpecker features perfectly:
1. Colors (many woodpeckers have red, white and black on them).
2. Two backward facing toes (they use these to help them cling to and walk up tree trunks).
3. Stiff tail feathers (used as a brace when clinging to tree trunks), or at least they appear to be stiff.
4. And of course the chisel-like beak.
The question arises if it will remain a woodpecker or change species as it evolves. Regional birds have followed both paths after all in different generations. However, the fact that they gave it such a special ability that connects directly to being a woodpecker (Skill Link) suggests to me the possibility that it will remain a woodpecker as it evolves, growing into versions of larger and more majestic varieties.
Course they could also keep it mainly a woodpecker but still mix it with another type of bird, becoming some kind of super woodpecker chimera.

My favorite thing about Pikipek is the fact that it looks like Pearl from Steven Universe. I'll be sure to catch a female.

So I completely missed out on this information on Iwanko from CoroCoro when it was firs revealed, mainly because it wasn't posted on Serebii's news page-

"Drampa are especially gentle with children and often appear at schools and parks where children gather."  I sure hope not. Also, why is it that the Pikachu clones always have to keep their Japanese names? Well, this is still a good lineup. |

Oh no, don't you fucking dare hint at that with Drampa. It's a fucking protector of children, it will get pissed off at anyone who hurts a child, it's the best grandpa in Pokėmon form.

Then I stand corrected. Even though I was joking in the first place. This is a site that revels in dark humor, after all. Besides, Drampa might unfortunately end up getting that kind of a reputation among fans, anyway, similar to what Bronies did to Princess Celestia. |

These are some interesting new Pokémon, except maybe the bugs and the new Pikachu clone. Most of them have cool type combinations too, but the thing that caught my attention the most were all the new Abilities. Dazzling, Comatose, Berserk and Electric Surge all sound like awesome Abilities, although if Tapu Koko turns out to be a legendary Pokémon, then I won't use it. Almost everyone else is pretty much guaranteed a place in one of my teams, including the bugs if their Stats won't suck.
However, I definitely won't use Togedemaru. I made the mistake of training a Minun, Pachirisu and Emolga in their respective Gens, and they were completely useless. Luckily I wised up and didn't train a Dedenne in Gen VI and I won't train this thing either. If they absolutely must keep making electric rodents, then why won't they give them any evolutions so they wouldn't suck so much? I know they don't like to admit it, but the original electric rodent can evolve, so why can't its clones?
I agree. I hate Family Guy, but even I thought your joke was quite funny.
Oh, don't worry. Princess Molestia is pretty much dead these days. I actually think MLP memes keep getting better and better, as long as they're not overused.
