Pokemon Sun and Moon - Meet the Legendaries

[Orga777]

Both Legendaries have atrocious typing's. What the hell were they thinking? Solgaleo is a sun-based pokemon... that is weak to fire. Good. It has serious weaknesses to Dark, Ground, and Fire. Three VERY common offensive typings that run rampant all over the place... and he has a glorified Clear Body as an ability... yippie. Lunala is not much better, but its ability makes it a lot better just because it won't die right away, even if it is a glorified Multiscale. Its awful x4 weaknesses to Dark and Ghost doesn't help its case, though. These are EASILY the worst cover legendaries by typing and ability of all time, and after Primal Groudon and Kyogre being released in ORAS, would be laughed out of the battlefield in comparison. Heck Yveltal and Xerneas make these guys look pathetic. How disappointing... The stats better make up for the awful typings. Hoping the starters will be better than this...

I am also hoping that Pokedex Rotom is usable, though. A Steel/Electric pokemon with Levitate would be fantastic.

From the looks of it Lunala is made for Weakness Policy.

The legendaries are kinda lame this time around, oh well. I'm far more curious about the world design, there better be some kick-ass underwater exploration with all that ocean. Also, I recall a rumour about vehicles being included for the first time. Maybe a boat? Or a helicopter?

YES! I can make my playable trainer black!!

*ahem* I mean, at least the legendaries still look cool... Yeah, I got nothing... I kinda tuned out after seeing the "Choose Your Hero" portion of the video because I was too busy fangirling over going to be a black trainer again... Then again, "November 23rd"?? Do they even know how many "trainers" would have beaten the "main story" by then???

Sweet, a Ghost Legendary, Get to add more shit to my Ghost Type team now!

The Sun legendary is... going to be interesting though. Mainly because it looks like it'll be a physical attacker rather than a special attacker, which is really going to crimp it's style given that's exactly what Metagross and Jirachi both do anyway. Unless it's bulkier than Metagross, give it a tanking/support niche.

I will say it's weird Full Metal Body is only a renamed Clear Body. What, couldn't be a renamed Solid Rock? It's named 'Full Metal', what's that got to do with resisting status reduction? Couldn't roll in an immunity to status ailments along with it?

Honored as emissaries since ancient times....but they'll still end up stuck in a tiny ball, only allowed out to rip each other to pieces for the satisfaction of some snot-nosed kid with a big sense of privilege.

Damn, this is how Pokemon looks like now? Almost makes me want to buy it.
