Pokémon Sun and Moon
Forum-Index → General Discussion → Pokémon Sun and MoonBut a Pokemon game is a Pokemon game, and graphics aren't everything! I just hope it won't have as much railroading ( the game forcing you to continue the plot instead of going off by yourself) as Gen V and VI had.
Thanks!
Which starter will you guys be choosing?
Well, my expectation wasn't true, but litten makes up for the stupid fighting bear and the silly magcal fox (if you know what I mean...)
The pokemon company disappointed me with popplio. but let's hope that the evolution will be fraking, like greninja.[/quote]


”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your technological guide!"

The leak comes from Pokemon Sun/Moon's Japanese website, which has icons of the types of the starter Pokemon coded in, much like our PH Pokemon Sprite codes, which are numbered up. The current icons displayed are in such order..

The codes of types 1 and 2 are thus, grass and flying, the current typing so of Rowlet. Now comes the twist...

This type stands for 'fire'.Surprise surprise! Why did it skip number 3? Now I'll proceed on to Popplio, which is no. 5

This is of course, popplio's typing, water.Now I'll find what the missing numbers, 3 and 6 say..
No. 3

It says 'Ground'!
No. 6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, let's arrange them..
1. Grass
2. Flying
3. Ground
4. Fire
5. Water
6. Fighting
These codes might actually reflect the final typing, as the leaks say. Now everyone might think that Rowlet will be the same , Litten will gain Ground and Popplio will gain Fight. But why does ground appear before fire? As leaks say, it is because Rowlet will drop Flying and take up Ground type and thus number 3. Litten will remain pure fire and Popplio will be Water/fight.
I guess I'll like a pure fire Litten. I'm not sure about a burrowing owl. It'll be interesting to see what Popplio becomes.
It really really disinterests me for some reason.
I'm downloading the demo tonight and if I like the demo for some odd reason, I'm probably gonna buy Sun.
From recent spoilers though, I don't want to choose Litten as my starter anymore...
