  What's special about Nekkoala is that he get a new ability called 'Definite Sleep' where he cannot be inflicted with any status such as confusion, paralyze, burn, etc... UNLESS it's related to asleep, so it can be pretty overpowered. [/SPOILER]

  Dammit Moon Moon!
  
  There first two posts have the moon and sun related memes out of the way.
  
  Actually I like that Pokemon: Praise the Sun, and Pokemon: Moon Moon
  
  I hope that Sun Stones/Solrock are Pokemon Sun exclusive, and Moon Stones/Lunastone are Pokemon exclusive.
  
  I wonder what the legendaries are going to be, more personifications of the Moon and Sun that are even more personified than Solrock and Lunastone?

  Some basic details about each game were leaked too. You'll be playing a young boy or girl who is given the choice of a pokemon of either fire, grass or water type. Then depending on what version you purchased you'll fight a team of bad guys who want to control the legendary pokemon of the game. While fighting the bad guys, you'll also defeat 8 gym leaders and then the Elite Four.

  Sorry. I heard there will also be a dynamic rival system, where a character will pick a Pokemon at the beginning of the game that's strong against yours. As you progress through the game they'll get stronger and harder to beat.

  The plot of every pokemon game ever. The question remains who will be the characters this time around that will take part in this rehashed plot.
  
  I liked BW2 villain the best. Only villain to date that actually tried to kill the protagonist.

  I haven't even finished X honestly. I got to the breeding center, spent a solid month breeding and wonder trading trying to make my team shiny, got bored of doing that and never touched it again.

  Now for my thoughts... It's a first time in a while that we got all three starters that actually looked good... Grass owl named Rowlet, fire kitten named Litten, and the water sea lion named Popplio.
  
  I think I'll go with Litten...
  
  As for legendaries... I am not regretting the choice I made a while ago to go with Moon because the legendary for Moon look so badass compared to the legendary from Sun.

  Owl is best starter

  Sun's Legendary reminds me of MMBN6 for some reason. :chin:
  
  Looking forward to the starters' evolutions too, especially...well, all of them!
  
  And the Moon legendary reminds me of Olympia...is that a coincidence?
