@The:
So. Tomorrow we will be getting more information related to Sun & Moon (most likely related to Rockruffs "secret/special evolution", like stated in the last issues of CoroCoro (we will probably get some new Pokemon and additional details as well though).
I thought, since I don't see it posted in here, I would post the large rumor/leak that was posted by more than a single source not to long ago (the post no longer exists, however, so I don't have a link to the source… Was on 4chan, was on Reddit, was on Neogaf, however). So here goes:
! 1. Rockruff DOES, in fact, how more than a single evolution, and they are based on cycles of the moon (i.e. Waning Moon, Full Moon). There is also a new, unannounced Pokemon whose evolutions are based on the position of the sun in the sky/time of day (i.e. Dawn, Noon). This Pokemon CAN NOT be evolved at night.
! 2. There is an Alola Golem (rock/fire, looks like it's made of obsidian rock with magma inside), Alola Parasect (bug/fairy, possessed by Morellul), there IS an Alola Arcanine (water-type), Alola Koffing/Weezing (fire-type, only 1 head/face, purified), Alola Machop/Machoke/Machamp (psychic) and an Alola Grimer/Muk (ground-type).
! 3. There is a new Rock/Bug, Spider Monkey Pokemon that is involved in some type of Climbing Minigame that is associated with the Riding Pokemon Mechanic. You can get an Alola Golem this way, WITHOUT trading.
! 4. There are four Totem Pokemon: Gumshoos, Lurantis, Wishiwashi, and an unannounced pure Fire-type, feminine pig Pokemon that 'bathes itself in lava'.
! 5. Komala has a single evolution, that, turns it into an even bigger/fatter Koala called Ibearnate (or something along these lines). It uses it's log of wood–which is bigger--as a weapon when it's not sleeping on it.
! 6. Pikipek has 2 evolutions (duh) named Perfowl and Fowldrill, eventually becoming a Steel/Flying-type Pokemon, similar to Skarmory.
! 7. Bounsweet is a baby pepper, it evolves into a Pokemon called Pepperot, that gains a Fire-typing (Grass/Fire-type). Their theme revolves around taste sensations, sweet and spicy.
! 8. Tortunator has a pre-evo called Krakatuga.
! 9. Like I stated above, there IS a snowman Pokemon, name Dulfrost, that has 1 evolution (name currently unknown, that is Ice/Ghost-type. There is also a stone Tiki Pokemon called Rockaby that involves into a bigger stone Tiki Pokemon called Uhaku (or something like that).
! 10. Crabrawler is the exclusive, pure Fighting-type to Pokemon Moon. There is another Pokemon, name Loboxtor (forget the spelling), that is a lobster, obviously, is pure Fighting-type, and is exclusive to Pokemon Sun.
! 11. Solrock and Lunatone have 2, new forms, that, are quite similar in appearance to Minior, they also share his ability of Shields Down.
! 12. There are some 'weird' locations in the Alola Region, such as a location stuck in eternal daylight or an area covered in an spooky fog (similar to Generation 4).Will see if any of this is in the information we get tomorrow, especially since the dudes said it was in a September trailer related to the game.
Shame the thread is down and the designs are gone, because some of the drawings were pretty great. There's also stuff here that's missing from your list:
! - Synchro evolutions with the starters and rockruff evolutions. Rockruff evo design always has an upside-down cross on its chest.
- Pokemon that evolves in the daytime is some grass pokemon with a long flower nose it uses to shoot seeds I believe?
- Don't remember alola machamp mentioned in the thread, at all. You ride Alola Arcanine on extremely hot waters.
- Tiki ghost pokemon is based on the legend that taking a lava rock home from Hawaii is bad luck.
- There was also art about the starter mid-volutions, with a chubbier rowlet that gives its back to opponents, a bipedal bully-looking litten that uses its tail as a belt, and a skinny acrobatic clown seal for popplio.
! The good thing about this one is that since so many designs were given, the second anything isn't consistent it's going to be super easy to call fake. There's a bunch of youtubers by now that have covered this one if people want to see the designs.
