Collegehumor also got into the whole Pokémon Go thing.

Some of those were actually slightly amusing.

Settings page without Battery Saver. Version is 0.31.1 as shown in the bottom right. Iphone SE.

Weird, my game says it's 0.31.0 and when checking from Google Play it just says Open instead of Update.

I know different apps gets updated at different times depending on the OS. My hearthstone didn't get updated for a couple of days after the update was released for Android once.

That explains it, I got Androind

... I don't like the Alola forms.

I like literally everything else, just not those.

I like Eggsecutor's new form, it fits the setting, but they could have just made it a new evolution or a mega. What I don't like is that they're continuing the trend of just slapping the dragon and normal type on random pokemon (Drampa is the embodiment of this trend). The others, though... I guess making new pokémon would've been too difficult.

Also, turning classic fire types into ice types just seems wrong.

And a ground type into a steel type. Apparently, this is all in sync with a Chinese leak that includes a whole bunch of Alola forms, all of which are, you guessed it, Kanto pokemon. From what has already been revealed, that leak seems to be accurate.

In that case, Rowlet is Oliver Queen.

I love the idea of the Alola forms. I'm not so sure about the actual designs, though I think the new Exeggutor one is kinda neat. I like the idea, though.

I have mixed feelings on them. Sure they are nice but at the same time they feel kinda lazy. "Why make new ones when we can just edit old ones and re-introduce them!"

It would be cool if they made a pre-evolution for Vulpix which can evolve into regular or Alolan depending on where it evolves or what item it is holding when it's leveled. Same method could be applied to Exeggcute and others.

I'm super excited about the Alola Forms. Making some of the other Kanto Pokemon who didn't get the love of Megas without over-saturating megas is really nice. Of course now I'm hoping the Johto Starters get a type swapping Alola form. Cyndaquil -> grass, chikorita -> water, totodile -> fire.

Yeah but they are releasing a lot of new pokemon. We're already at 31 confirmed new pokemon without even counting the starter's and Pikipek's evolutions. And this is the first time we're touching the older Pokemon besides Zygarde.

I'm just waiting for the day they do what they did in gen 4 and give pre-evos and evolutions to pokemon that needed them. I guess Alola Eggsecutor is the closest so far, but we're proabably just gonna get more Alola forms of old pokemon instead of new ones or new evos.

While I love Ninetails with its current typing, I'm all over the beautiful ice/fairy type. Very much looks like its shiny form, too.

Ice/Steel Sandslash makes... less sense to say the least, but I suppose they want more dragon bashers.

That's ironic, since they made a type specially made to fight dragons in the previous generation.

Indeed, unless it was an attempt to make ice workable again. Fairy is the go to dragon counter now, after all. Ice has become increasingly irrelevant with its several type weaknesses.

Its a terrible design. Proportions like that are awful, and there are much better ways to make something look like a palm tree than that. Tail is fine, but taking the original design and adding 15 some feet of neck just looks terrible.

... You do realize what I just stated would create 3 new Pokemon, right?

Not that there is such a thing as too many Pokémon, of course.

Vulpix doesn't really look like a pokemon that needs a pre-evolution
