Inviso has by far the lowest still alive, with all 5 pokemon remaining in his top 20
nobody has their 99 remaining (l3fty's was the last, with Incineroar at 11), but l3fty has his 97 remaining
Whiskey Nick, eddv, XIII, Luster Soldier, hotdogturtle and Brayze_II have none of their top 10 remaining
Whiskey Nick and eddv have none of their top 20 remaining
ctes and starfox both have 4 of the remaining pokemon in their top 10
Only Whiskey Nick, th3l3fty, Xuxon, PrinceKaro and Ermine rank any of the remaining 5 in their bottom 20

PrinceKaro: You're such a happy puppy! Yes you are! Yes you are!

Ermine: Cutest Pupper Ever.

Inviso: Easily the cutest NFE of this generation, even though there was some stiff competition out there.

mnkboy907: Rock doggo, yes please.

Luster Soldier: Super cute doggy. There have been other cute dog-based Pokemon in the past like Lillipup and Growlithe, but Rockruff takes it to a completely different level in terms of being cute. Rockruff is almost like a 4th starter since it can fit into the super effective circle of Rockruff ---> Litten ---> Rowlet ---> Popplio ---> Rockruff. Typically, dogs and cats have been depicted as usually not able to be friendly with each other and Rockruff's typing opposes Litten here.

swordz9: Possibly the cutest puppy Pokemon ever

StifledSilence: Cute little rock dog thing.

Raka_Putra: I want to have one as pet

Cybat: Oh hey, dogs are cute.

MrSmartGuy: I'm visualizing this one as a Herdier playing a Kricketune, which is at least half adorable.

Paratroopa1: I hate dogs I hate dogs I hate dogs I hate dogs I hate dogs I hate dogs OH MY GOD LOOK, PUPPY!

ctes: Rockruff is super cute. Looks really great. It is a really good in one of the roles of generational mascot. Giving Kukui that of all things was a good idea. That said, being mono Rock drags it down a little bit for me, it's one of my least favorite types, so it finishes no higher than this, but for a NFE in my ranking, that's still pretty good.

Inviso: Highest Alolan form mostly because I already love Ninetales and this form didn't fuck up the design. Honestly, it's probably a BETTER design (with a less generic typing), but nostalgia would still put the original version higher for me.

Luster Soldier: If I had to use only one Alolan Pokemon for my in-game team, Vulpix/Ninetales is what I would have chosen. The Fairy type given to Alolan Ninetales sold me on this Pokemon and it's also a design improvement over regular Ninetales as well.

ctes: Now this is what I'm talking about. Very great Alolan form. Typing is pretty cool except for an unfortunate 4x weakness to steel. It's a great hail setter. If hail was in any way good, this would be OU for sure. Sadly, it isn't because hail does nothing but minimal damage to non ice-types, so you can't make a hail team. Fun to use for the minimal part of the game you can.

Cybat: It's basically just a palette swap of Ninetales but hey guess what Ninetales is great, so here we are. Aurora Veil is really neat too.

Paratroopa1: ugh FUCK I feel really stupid about putting ninetales this high but like... it's pretty, ok? IT'S PRETTY. DON'T JUDGE ME. THIS DOESN'T MEAN I'M COOL WITH YOUR FOX AGENDA

Brayze_II: ‘freedom to do what you want (alolan ninetales gallops over a hill) when you want (blue liquid splashes into a tampon) no matter what day you’re on (alolan ninetales diving into a pool). Always

Raka_Putra: Sho majesthicc

mnkboy907: It's better than regular Ninetales, but I dunno, it still doesn't quite do it for me.

swordz9: Icy Ninetales

StifledSilence: Blue Ninetales, because Elsa wasn't a good enough ice queen for you.

Luster Soldier: Between Cutiefly and Ribombee, I think Ribombee is even cuter, although I could see some people preferring Cutiefly instead. At least Ribombee is wearing a scarf, which is a nice touch to its design. For in-game use, Ribombee was a very appealing option for a playthrough because of the extremely high base speed of 124. When a large number of the new Pokemon are fairly slow, Cutiefly/Ribombee really stood out with their high speed. The high speed was a valuable asset when playing through the game, since Pokemon with a higher speed are much more likely to be successful in running away from a wild Pokemon battle.

ctes: Ribombee is quite possibly the most positive surprise I've ever had from a teammate. I was not expecting Ribombee to be worth much, but it's absolutely fantastic. One of the very best in-game Pokemon to use. Its spped tier alone makes it that, but it's great beyond that. Its sweeping capabilities are so great and access to Quiver Dance on top of a very great offensive movepool is fantastic. It looks harmless, but it's deadly. The pleasant surprise was so fantastic, but it misses out on the very best spots because its design did make me ignore it at first. I ended up using it because I randomly grinded against wild Pokemon with Cutiefly for a while looking for Bagon and thought it was pretty good and that I might as well add another one to the team with the EXP share being broken. Most of my favorite Pokemon I liked right away. Still, very great Pokemon!

Paratroopa1: this. THIS. holy shit my heart can't take something this fucking CUUUUTE FUCK IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE DFHGHFHDJF

Ermine: My male Ribombee, Ribbon was one of the best members on my team. Super cutie <3

Raka_Putra: Surprisingly good to use

mnkboy907: What a snazzy, dapper little dude. I love him.

PrinceKaro: The best bug type pokemon ever.

Cybat: I'm a sucker for signature moves, and Pollen Puff is a good one, both for gameplay and for flavor. Its design and name are a little weird, but its charm (and fun typing) gets it this far.

MrSmartGuy: Fun fact: add the idea of bombs to anything and it instantly gets better.

hotdogturtle: Ribombee was the surprise hit of playing ingame. It's blazing fast but also has high special attack and learns several good moves early. It really shines for the first 80% of the game. It just falls off by the end and never really recovers after that.

Inviso: It's just as awesome as Cutiefly, but it's stronger 'cause it's fully evolved!

Brayze_II: Nigerian style

swordz9: Surprisingly strong little thing

StifledSilence: Harambe in bee form.

i've no idea. a bunch.

Cybat: I know "if only you were faster" is basically the theme of this gen, but this guy really exemplifies it. He has such a striking design that I had to keep him on my team, but it was a struggle training him.

XIII: I used it, so I have loyalty to it. I don't like the late-game evolution, but it's really fun to use.

Raka_Putra: Just look at it!

swordz9: Awesome looking bug that is way too slow what the hell

ctes: Vikavolt is pretty cool looking. I really do like its design and man does its thunderbolt hit hard. It gets a high placement, but it's a bit held down by the limited amount of time you can use it in game. It's completely ridiculous you get it on Pony Island. And while its special attack is insane and hits super hard, I'm not fond of when a Pokemon completely switches its superior offensive stat upon evolution. You basically have to build a new set at that point, so thank god for infinite TMs. Also the speed is a joke. This thing looks like it should be insanely fast and not only is it now that, it's incredibly slow. The flaws keep it from the top, but it's a great Pokemon.

StifledSilence: Its design is both really cool and really strange. Great special attack.

hotdogturtle: When this was revealed it instantly reminded me of a gen 5 Pokemon for some reason. I feel like you could put it next to Scolipede, Galvantula, Volcarona, Accelgor, Escavalier, etc and it would fit right in. This is a compliment by the way; the only reason I can't rank it higher is because it actually sucks.

Brayze_II: nothing personnel, kid

mnkboy907: lol wow, that speed. Neat design and good on them for changing the early Bug formula up again.

Inviso: This is cool enough, but it's weird to say the middle cocoon form of a Bug-type is more fun than its final form.

Luster Soldier: Despite sharing the same typing of Galvantula, I was hoping Vikavolt would be a physical attacking counterpart to Galvantula. Instead, it's another special attacker. The huge special attack is the only good thing it even has, because it's terribly slow. I remember the low speed being such a letdown for a lot of people because the design gave it the impression that it would have a good speed stat. The low speed would be a common trend among many of the new Pokemon from this generation.

Paratroopa1: yeah, it's good, but it's no charjabug. why the FUCK did you rank this thing like 50 (Steiner note: 37, actually) spots above charjabug? this is an outrage. JUSTICE FOR CHARJABUG

Brayze_II: I can’t tell if this is supposed to be funny

Luster Soldier: This new cat Pokemon is pretty cute. It's the lowest ranked of the 3 starters simply because it finds itself outclassed by Rowlet and Popplio.

The only winning move is not to play

don't play it

as someone currently with no option but to not play world of warcraft i don't feel very much like i've won :(

what do you mean it's always up to date now just like i said before

ok if i can't talk you into doing any other quest zones at least do this one

http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=35/might-of-dragonblight

i was a fury warrior i had to whirlwind at the exact right time it was a fuckin pain in the ass

they're super fast until you get to annoying parts designed around a number of bodies that you're just not bringing with you. molten core solo is great fun until you get to those fuckin dog adds.

p.s. i really wouldn't bother with older raids, as playing them at this point is for novelty - it's very difficult to get a group to run them at appropriate level and storming through them overlevelled is no fun at all. maybe my suggestion of loremaster was excessive (it was), but i'd seriously suggest you clear the majority of quest zones especially post vanilla.

i'm sure there's something in place so that if you're playing together you all level at the same rate but i don't know the specifics

i mean that's for sure one side of my argument - 70-90 or so content is peak WoW. but more importantly, playing to 60 in 2017 will not feel like finishing a video game.

LordOfDabu posted...

Just to be clear: The $20 base game just limits the amount of content you can do, right?

Does it come with a free month or do you have to pay a subscription fee from the get go?

$20 gets you all content available pre-Legion, and one free month of game time

the game really isn't designed to where stopping at the end of vanilla makes sense now - you level past all that stuff so quickly now

that $20 gets you through level 100, so clearing all dungeons and quest areas to 100 seems like close enough to finishing the game

and if dropping $50 on a videogame you'll never touch again is a problem this seems like a poorly thought out endeavor

if vanilla is what you really care about, time to go to the effort of finding a private server because that game doesn't exist on blizzard servers anymore

doing all the vanilla dungeons is nowhere near experiencing WoW - it's very easy to blitz through that stuff now.

my vote would be for this:
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/The_Loremaster

but alternately, clearing all dungeons to 110 would be a good alternative.

i am available for any further video editing work now that i am a professional video editor

XIII: Fire starters are basically always the best so. Also this one happens to have Malicious Moonsault so I'm not sure how anyone can rank anything else at number 1

StifledSilence: Wrestler Kitty was one of the few shining stars in a dull batch of new Pokemon.

Inviso: I kinda wish it was Fire/Fighting just for the rage…but I'm glad we got this dude. His animations are great, and having a heel wrestler Pokemon is pretty badass. Plus, I like him better as a Fire/Dark-type than Houndoom.

OrangeCrush: I wish Gamefreak had the courage to make Incineroar Fire/Fighting. It's clear they wanted to but chickened out.

Cybat: Even when they don't make a Fire/Fighting starter, they do. Darkest Lariat is badass though.

Drakeryn: "I have seen him show most of the attributes one expects from a noble: courtesy, kindness, honor. I would also say that he is one of the most bloodthirsty bastards that I have ever met." - Vlad Taltos (Jhereg)

mnkboy907: His whole personality and his animations just work really well.

swordz9: WWE Champion of the Pokemon World

ctes: Incineroar is quite the mixed bag. It really doesn't fulfil what they should have been going for with Litten and that dargs it down a lot. The huge speed loss from Torracat is also super annoying. Sure, some Pokemon are slower than others, but losing it upon evolving is annoying. When that's said, it's not the worst Pokemon on its own. It's a fine gimmick and its signature move is at least very cool despite NPC's never boosting stats and Inciniroar being useless competively.

Raka_Putra: Pelvic thrust is inappropriate for a game meant for children.

Luster Soldier: The only good thing out of this Pokemon is that it's not Fire/Fighting, since this is one of the ugliest final starter evolutions I've ever seen. Even though Gen VI broke up 3 straight generations of Fire/Fighting, there was still some concern that Fire/Fighting would return with a vengeance. Going by the starter leaks, it seemed like it was a possible typing, although Fire/Dark was another possible option.

Paratroopa1: I don't really 'get' wrestling like I understand the popularity of it and I even sort of understand why people like it but it still doesn't really click with me. so here's this cat that shoots fire out of its belt or something. not really into bara either sorry

profDEADPOOL: Fucking bipedal fire starters need to fuck off

ok i'm working on it

this topic could be titled "is there anyone here who has 30 seconds of experience with video editing"

i mean my answer is still no but i know that much. i think this is feasible just in vlc.

Luster Soldier: Because of Tapu Koko appearing so early in the story and its appearances later in the story, it has the advantage of being the most visible of the Tapus (the other 3 don't appear during the main story). This should make Tapu Koko the most popular Tapu. Despite the Fairy typing, I don't see people holding that against Tapu Koko since it's a rare example of a non-prototypical Fairy type. Tapu Koko does not conform to the cute stereotype that applies to almost all Fairy type Pokemon, nor does it even give off the appearance of being a Fairy type. If you did not previously know Tapu Koko's typing when looking at the design and tried to guess its typing, Fairy would be a typing you probably wouldn't be able to correctly guess.

Cybat: This is the only Tapu design I can really get behind. The Tapus are a really great concept but the execution leaves something to be desired, both in design where they are not amazing, and in gameplay where they are probably all too good.

Paratroopa1: yep, that's a really cool and well-designed legendary, gotta hand it to them

Raka_Putra: Chicken Attack by Song Voyage.

Inviso: Cool from a story standpoint, but still, nothing all that special about this guy.

hotdogturtle: Tapu Koko kind of got the Greninja treatment in this gen. It was revealed on its own before the other Tapus, it's the only one to appear during the story, and it already had a prominent role in the anime. It's probably really big with kids. But I'm falling for it too, it's my favorite Tapu easily. Looking at its stats you'd expect it to be a beastly physical attacker, but due to its movepool it's commonly used as a special attacker despite being weaker. However, I prefer using the physical version myself. There was also a fun Z-Mirror Move set that someone came up with for the Battle Tree, which I had a good time using. Electric Surge has a lot of combo potential in doubles (although you're sacrificing your framerate if you try to use it).

swordz9: Immediately wanted one on my team and was disappointed it was a legendary/mythical/one-time catch/etc

ctes: Tapu Koko is so goddamn cool. The other Tapus most bow down to what is by far the coolest with by far the coolest typing too. It's really badass and its role in the story is cool. I wish they focused more on the other three being guardians as well, you just kinda weirdly find them. Tapu Koko does come at an annoying time though, you sat the longest credits and then you have to catch this before being able to save!? Doesn't hurt its placement though. I tend to not rank legendaries too high, but Tapu Koko deserves it!

OrangeCrush: The scene where he helps Hala fight Pheromosa is cool. Plus Tapu Koko is the final boss.

XIII: Nice

Ermine: Tapu Koko grew a lot on me. At first glance he was only average but after time I really started to like his design. By FAR and AWAY the only good Tapu. The rest are all trash.

StifledSilence: Cool badass electric thing.

mnkboy907: Regular Sandslash is fine and all, but this is on a whole new level. The color scheme on this thing is just so sleek. This is how to do an alternate forme right.

Cybat: So, most of the Alolan forms are pretty ugly, but the ones that aren't are quite appealing. This one sports an interesting (if kind of terrible) typing and a logical variation on the existing design.

Ermine: Good.

Inviso: Ice/Steel is a cool typing and I'm always willing to give credit to the few Ice-types the game decides to give us. Sandslash is a tough badass naturally, so again, even though its Alolan form is a lesser Pokemon than the original, I still like it.

Paratroopa1: it's not the most out of the box design you could have come up with for a pokemon reimagined as an ice type, but I still have to give it a lot of credit for being really well executed

XIII: Nice switch up on the design

ctes: Looks pretty cool, but not as great as regular Sandslash imo. When there were no megas to put too big and many spikes on, they looked at this instead. And while there actually aren't as many as its regular form, they sure are too huge. Typing is interesting, but not particularly great.

Raka_Putra: Cool stuff.

PrinceKaro: How to ruin a good pokemon, lesson one.

swordz9: Icicle Sandslash

StifledSilence: Blue Sandslash, because Blue Raspberry just wasn't enough for you.

Luster Soldier: Never really cared about Sandslash to begin with, so the Alolan Form wasn't going to change my opinion here.

StifledSilence: Taking "Follow your nose!" to a ridiculous level.

mnkboy907: This thing was my MVP against the Elite 4. Skill Link Rock Blast/Bullet Seed combo is so good. Shame they didn't give it a new Flying attack to make use of it, but Drill Peck/Beak Blast is good enough.

MrSmartGuy: A pirate's best friend.

Inviso: Shiny Toucannon with Skill Link is a Pokemon on my Sun Team. It's pretty awesome. Hell, I never realized how awesome Skill Link was until I trained this bad boy. I'm glad I did.

Cybat: Cool name, simple and effective design, and badass signature move. I would probably have this guy higher if he had stayed on my team but there was too much competition and Trumbeak wasn't cutting it. Oh well.

swordz9: Looks eternally pissed off

XIII: Not a great regional bird, but it at least has a terrific signature move to put it above the likes of Pidgeot, Noctowl, and Unfezant.

Raka_Putra: Funny how you can find level 40+ Trumbeak in the wild but never Toucannon.

Paratroopa1: toucans are awesome. they make like this weird rattling noise. it's really weird. also they beaks that change color when they're charging up a laser attack. it's really weird! toucans are weird

Brayze_II: people are like ‘it’s just a toucan’, but it’s a pissed off toucan with a beak that heats up and that’s already more creative than 85% of pokemon

Luster Soldier: After Talonflame last generation, the new early game bird had a difficult time to improve upon Talonflame, at least in the competitive area. This was before we learned of a Gale Wings nerf. Even after the nerf, it's still better than Toucannon. It's not all that bad for Toucannon, as it has 2 useable abilities in Skill Link and Sheer Force. Finally, Toucannon is still a better looking design than the trash that is Unfezant (worst early game bird ever).

PrinceKaro: NO MORE NORMAL/FLYING NO MORE NORMAL/FLYING NO MORE NORMAL/FLYING NO MORE NORMAL/FLYING NO MORE NORMAL/FLYING NO MORE NORMAL/FLYING

ctes: Okay, so get this. We're making a pointless line just because we're stubborn about always having a regional early bird. We make it bland and boring to. Then we make the 2nd evolution and somehow make things worse than they already were. Toucannon has a pretty interesting signature move as the line's only point of interesting, but it's incredibly easy to play around and Toucannon is ass beyond that. They basically just oversized the beak and made it stupidly and unnecessarily angry, ruining what was already a pointless line. It's better than Unfezant, but christ, stop with these birds every gen, there's no reason to when you're out of ideas for them.

"The high speed was a valuable asset when playing through the game, since Pokemon with a higher speed are much more likely to be successful in running away from a wild Pokemon battle."

mnkboy907: This thing just looks so cool. I just wish it had a more interesting type. When I first saw it in the data leak, I got excited for the all the neat possibilities it could've been like Ice/Electric or Water/Electric or even Electric/Dark would've fit, but just another Bug/Water in the same generation as Golisopod. Oh well! The thing still looks amazing so that's good enough for me.

Cybat: I call this thing Aquarachnid about 50% of the time. Really effective design, it's just a shame that "Water Bubble" was the best name they could come up with for its quite powerful ability.

Brayze_II: I wasn’t expecting anyone to have done anything with this, but then, jugs on a centaur

XIII: A bit slow, but I like using it. Often works out to be pretty reliable.

ctes: Araquanid is really great. This line is basically what Surskit should've been back then (f*** Masquerain) and with a killer ability to go along them. Decent recovery due to Leech Life suddenly being very great. Solid looking design. It would've been a darn shame not to rank this Pokemon high!

hotdogturtle: Water Bubble = lol. Araquanid is one of the strongest attackers in the game because of a mechanic that is not even explained though ingame text anywhere.

Inviso: For a Water/Bug, this is pretty cool, with a neat ability. Not spectacular though.

swordz9: Weirdest spider in the series

StifledSilence: What happens when Aqua from Kingdom Hearts fuses with a spider.

Paratroopa1: it kinda looks like some kind of metroid shit but then it turns out it's actually a really nice pokemon, awww, it helps pokemon by rescuing them and putting them into its bubble oh god why are they all drowning oh no araquanid OH NO ARAQUANID

Luster Soldier: It's slightly better than Dewpider, at least. Even then, I don't care about this Pokemon at all.

Raka_Putra: Okay, whoever made this must've accidentally stretched the design. It looks like a bad Fakemon. One ugly mother-effer. The water bubble is a neat enough gimmick that could've carried its design, but adding bulbous generic evil head and weird yellow, very thin legs is just overkill. Moderation is close to godliness, so they say.

omg, no. luster, please delete that. i'll do anything to stop you revealing the next pokemon! please pm me on discord to discuss this further.

Luster Soldier: I love this new super cute Vulpix. Regular Vulpix is already quite good, but the new one is even better, especially now that it's an Ice type.

Paratroopa1: SHIT okay I guess it's time to admit that I'm not any better than the rest of you, I like this cute fox too. ugh, I've been living a lie

Inviso: It's an Ice Vulpix. Just regular Vulpix, but white. I like Vulpix, so why not like a palette swap that adds another underrepresented Ice-type to the game?

Cybat: White fox, can't go wrong.

Raka_Putra: Purrty.

ctes: Pretty much a palette swap. Vulpix is a pretty good looking Pokemon, so is this. Not much else to say.

Brayze_II:

mnkboy907: Not nearly as good as regular Vulpix. The beauty of its eyes didn't make the transition, and the perm is kinda offputting.

StifledSilence: Blue Vulpix, from the makers of The Smurfs.

swordz9: Another lazy color swap

pyresword: Emergency Exit is stupid.

Luster Soldier: Well, at least it's better than the other Bug/Water evolutionary line introduced in this generation. It's an okay design that happens to be better than Dewpider/Araquanid. Golisopod is also known as Guzma's signature Pokemon in the game and this fact probably helps improve its popularity among fans. If not for being Guzma's signature Pokemon, it probably finishes lower in the overall rankings. This is also the first Pokemon whose gimmick is based around the idea of priority moves, with it having access to Aqua Jet, Sucker Punch, and its signature move First Impression. The gimmick comes at the cost of the Emergency Exit ability, which forces Golisopod to switch when it drops under 50% HP. This could lead to Golisopod not getting in an attack before this happens, if it chooses not to use a priority move (since it's otherwise quite slow). The ability does work very well with First Impression, a move that only works on the first turn that Golisopod is sent into battle.

ctes: When I first saw this thing, I thought it looked super cool. Then I saw its typing and was super excited to use it. I thought it outclassed Araquanid in its design, which is a pretty great looking Pokemon too. However, that all completely fell on the floor when it turned out thing has a reason for the player to commit murder in its ability. Man is it ass. It is beyond my understanding that they went ahead and make two abilities with the same function for these stupid line. Only difference is in the descreption, where Wimpod is a coward and apparently Golisopod senses danger or some s***, it's a coward too obviously. The failure learns several stat boosting moves by itself, which are all utter trash with this ability, that are only useful under extremely situtional conditions that never happen and doesn't make it the slightest bit good. It's speed is a complete joke too along along with the rest of the generation despite not looking slow. Design makes this Pokemon a bit higher than it should, but don't be fooled, it's utter trash.

swordz9: Puny wimpod turned into such an amazing badass holy shit

Cybat: As soon as I got a Wimpod I could tell that it was the Magikarp of this gen, but I was still not prepared for what it turned into. Gameplay-wise it's pretty hard to use, but can't argue with the presentation.

Raka_Putra: Menacing. Quite powerful for in-game and great type coverage.

Drakeryn: "Look ahead, to the light of the Judgment. All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well." - Fallen London

Inviso: NEBBY! Seriously though, I normally hate legendaries, but this one was incorporated SO WELL into the story and it filled a slot on my team so perfectly…this is right up there with Articuno in terms of the best legendaries GameFreak has ever made.

swordz9: Awesome lion with disappointing typing

Cybat: Both of the legendaries this gen are pretty great. This one loses a few points for being the "devourer of the sun" but being weak to Fire. Seems like a rough life.

XIII: A great cover legendary.

Raka_Putra: Solar Leomon (spoilers: he dies)

StifledSilence: Would have been automatic top ten and maybe even top five if they got the typing right. No Fire, no deal.

Ermine: Lunala and Solgaleo are a great pair of legendaries <3

ctes: Solgaleo looks really cool and is a very great legandary to be featured on the cover of Sun. It's signature move is really cool too. Why in the world is it not fire though? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

mnkboy907: I don't know why I don't like this thing more. Can't put my finger on it, but something about it just... leaves me underwhelmed.

OrangeCrush: Memento mori, if the nineth lion ate the sun

Luster Soldier: This Pokemon is cited as an example of a case where predicting a Pokemon's type before being officially confirmed isn't as easy as It seems. Almost everyone thought Solgaleo would have the Fire type at the very minimum, although predicting a secondary type was much harder. Secondary type predictions were all over the place and much less certain than the expected Fire type. We had a "mind blown" event when it was revealed to be Psychic/Steel and did not have the Fire type. The irony here is that a Pokemon based on the Sun is actually weak to Fire, no doubt the main reason people were expecting a Fire type here.

Brayze_II: so many dicks, dicks, endless and uncountable

Paratroopa1: it's ok'ish, I'm just sorta predisposed towards not liking it because it's a kind of boring box legendary. but it's still pretty good. btw I'm at #76 of this list and I'm still describing things as 'pretty good.' gen 7 is great fuck you
