Also, saw the data-mined pokedex, got my potential team members in mind (spoilers)

-water/fairy starter

-salandit's evolution

-pikipeck's toucan evolution (w/ skill link)

-oranguru

-Sylvaly (if possible)

-kommo-o

-palosand

-Oricorio (ghost variant)

-vikavolt

how 'bout everyone else?

(please use the spoiler tag where appropriate

Based entirely on what we know now, I was thinking the following:

SUN
Rowlet
Lycanroc Midday form
Salandit
Wimpod
Vikavolt or Alolan Raichu
Passimian

MOON
Litten
Mudsdale
Lurantis
Alolan Ninetales or Sandslash
Oranguru
Wishiwashi

Of course this doesn't take into account things we don't know yet like stats, move-sets or where in Alola you can catch these Pokemon (if for instance you can't get a Pokemon listed above until reeeeaallly late on in the game then I won't bother), so once I know all of that I'll probably amend the above teams.

GTS needs some serious reworking. Not just that (Thanks for telling me I had the Pokemon they wanted and then not letting me make the trade) but also the system being flooded with people offering common things and wanting something huge in return. (That is a nice Ratata, I am not giving you Arceus for that) They need to make it so that you can only request a legendary if you're offering a Legendary. And for the sake of fairness, if you're offering a legendary, you can ask for whatever you want, from Ratata to Arceus and everything inbetween.

While I agree - there is a filter for that exact problem

Yes but...you can't filter out the BS requests. The only filter you can use is "Show only offers that want Pokemon I have" and if you have a bunch of Legendaries already, that's just going to shove the issue into your face rather than solve it.

Sure you can, there's actually a secondary filter - before you select 'search' - go to 'Options' and select: "Don't include" for people requesting special pokemon, should fix your problems

But if they can't be traded, then why bother with being able to search for them in the first place?

You guys seriously not messed around with this? It just filters out people requesting legendaries for a pokemon you're searching for, leaving all the normal requests, I used it all the time over the last 4-5 years (as I believe that black/white 2 had it as well)

So, say I'm searching for a slowbro, by selecting 'don't include' it removes all the d|cks that want an arceus (or anything similar) for a frickin' slowbro, leaving people who want something reasonable, like a tauros or servine for it instead.

Seriously it fixes all your problems

Oh, I know how to use the feature, but that's not what I'm talking about. If you can't even trade event Pokémon anyway, then why not just remove the ability to ask for them in the first place?

Also, I guess I'll post my revamped team roster for Sun:
Final Litten evolution
Mudsdale
Alolan Ninetales
Midday Lycanroc
Event Snorlax
Demo Greninja

I honestly don't know, it should have been easy to strike them from the list

[Autobot N]

Incineroar has the coolest name ever.

I can't really decide if I want to nickname him. Either it stays as it is, or I'll name him Liften.

[Shadowman]

Just so everyone can see it.

Red, Blue, and Cynthia are all back for the first time since BW2. Is anyone excited to see if Cynthia is going to Mega-Evolve Garchomp?

[Autobot N]

Is anyone excited to see if Cynthia is going to Mega-Evolve Garchomp?

Kinda. It would be awesome to see, but it would also make Cynthia harder to beat than she already is.

Also, I really hope that Tapu Lele has good stats. That anti-priority could be extremely usefull.

[Shadowman]

I probably should have made it more apparent that what I said was in massive sarcasm. I like to think that she was excluded from Gen6 because she would almost certainly have access to Mega Evolution and kill everything.

[Kurona]

Depending on your strat, the speed drop Garchomp gets from mega evolution would actually make it easier to take down.

So...leaks happened. Big leaks. Like, if you were willing to go to shady enough places you could play the game now sorts of leaks. So keep vigilant you don't accidentally hit spoilers if you're not into that.

But that's not what I'm here to talk about. What I am is that I realized that with the Pokemon Bank, one could actually obtain all three starters as soon as you get access to a PC. Cheating? Maybe a little, but they could fix it whenever they want, so I'm still going to abuse it.

Probably savescum for a female Popplio.

Actually, Bank doesn't get updated to be compatible with Sun/Moon (and virtual console red/blue/yellow) until January. Which, yes, also means you won't be able to transfer anything up until January.

Well that's all right then. Just gonna have to use local resources. Does anyone know if the free event legendaries are going to be offered up on Sun and Moon as well? Because two weeks after is when they start giving out free Meloetta.

Nope, you've gotta keep your Gen 6 game for those.

Well that's fine too. I've still got Y and Omega Ruby so I can get two, I'll just transfer them over once the option becomes available.

I do love that first 4chan post. "I will never buy anything from Nintendo again." Pretty sure that's what got him in that mess to begin with!

That was definitely pretty hilarious.

Be sure to check out Mystery Gift in Sun and Moon, there's a free Munchlax and Snorlium Z in it for you.

Interestingly, the Munchlax has your OT and you're able to nickname it.

[Shadowman]

Incineroar, Raichu, Snorlax, Solgaleo, Tsareena, Greninja. That was the team I had becoming the first Champion of the Alola Pokemon League.

Still need to go after the Battle Tree, as well as the obligatory Looker missions.
