Datamine is here (big spoilers within)

Think this is a full, or near-full collection of every new mon. Actually not that much that wasn't already officially revealed, but only click if you don't mind being spoiled!

Really not feeling the way a lot of these evolve this time. Totally ruined Litten. I quite like the bug-types so maybe I will play a mono-bug game, or just use cutemons without evolving them.

Dugtrio and DRAGON EXEGGUTOR are hilarious though, and Ninetales/ Sandslash are old favourites so I could mix in some Alola forms. Persian is an abomination. Someone in the design team just really hates cats I guess.

Any ideas on what your teams are gonna look like?

I'm not looking. I'm going to discover the game as I go. I'll look at whatever Pokemon officially releases, but other than that, nope.

Respect for self-control

Spoiler:

jk it's basic, but only because of how generic it is. Stand alone i think it's actually pretty cool.

I'm choosing Pop(legend)lio, and also:

Spoiler:

Anyway my team will probably look like:
Pop(ular bishes only)lio (surf )
Tsareena, although I saw her spread and i probably wont use her competitively, but i do need a pokemon to nickname 'la miki minach'
Pikipek (for fly).
Cutiefly (a LEGEND! A KING! HE GOT A SCARF! *mariah carey voice* NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT)
Alolan Ninetails (MAYBE)
Alolan Raichu (MAYBE)

i'm being realistic about how easy it'll be to get these early on in the game, otherwise i might have used snoop dragon, MAYBE salandit (but based on the evo probably not). I'm curious about the missing dex slots tho, the missing slot after Lurantis BETTER BE A SPLIT EVO (her gallade is coming!) although i doubt it'd be significant enough to leave out of the demo.

I love A-Marowak's shiny form. Definitely gonna MM that. Once I reach a day care I'm gonna try to get ems and everstone and foreign parent (a can anyone help with that) and go nuts. Hyper Training means IVS don't matter.

Definitely going Litten. I'll let fate decide the rest as I'll likely be catching everything I see.

Piki gets Skill Link so there's a good chance of it being decent if it gets a couple of good multi-hit moves

And Blue, you're gonna start shiny breeding before you even beat the main story..?

Dragon, you've been hating on my precious Popplio since the day it came out. I forbid you to pick him.

Depends on whether breeding info is released by then as well as accesibility and money. I may wait til post game but depending on type null's obtainability I may hit a roadblock anyways.

Flopplio is the ugliest starter this gen, and remains so, he owes me an apology

Spoiler:

obviously i'm not gonna pick litten when he got done so dirty coolest starter turned into the most basic
