woah, this has grown a lot. Why didn't the alarm work?
Can someone help me catch up?
Seems plausible but meh. Gamefreak never done this before lol, low probs/vp/ - . - Pokémon - 4chan
It seems fake, but it has an gimmicky concept that I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon decided to do this.
That's true as well, as I've done these same calculations with bw/dp and it was very inconsistent. Although I feel like xy is more reliable because of international releases, gamefreak's reveal method and marketing is rather unpredictable. I really hope "larger but not by much" means 110+ rather than <90.

I would be very surprised. GF likes to keep a certain degree of continuity when introducing new evolutions of old Pokemon. That's why all of them came with brand new evolutionary methods that weren't possible in previous generations even when old methods would've made sense (Leafeon and the leaf stone for example). I don't see them suddenly changing their mind and retconning the fact the sun stone or the moon stone didn't work on those Pokemon before. P.S. Yes I know about Piloswine and Lickitung being able to learn Ancient Power and Rollout before Gen IV but that was most likely an oversight rather than a retcon.
Why do people think that Comfey will evolve? I think that it'll be like Klefki.
To be fair they could just throw out something silly like the influence of Solgaleo/Lunala allows X Pokemon to evolve using a Sun/Moon stone when they couldn't before.
They've already pulled that card for Lycanroc.
Exactly - France has no lions, New York has no monkeys, Hawaii has no koalas.Just because Hawaii has few fossils, doesn't mean that Alola will have no fossils. Game Freak haven't always used the real-world location for inspiration for Pokemon in the region.
I think they are really true, so there are no version exclusive evolutions for starters.

Not in the wild, anyway.
Though that does reference the very credible chinese leaks

Not believing it yet, since they are investing in Alolan forms./vp/ - . - Pokémon - 4chan

It doesn't just reference the Chinese leak; it *is* the Chinese leak, just restated and paired with the Starter evolution pictures.

Not saying it's a cast-iron fact, just my speculation based on real-world facts. And like others said, no they don't always use the real-world location to the letter, but they certainly use it to influence designs.Just because Hawaii has few fossils, doesn't mean that Alola will have no fossils.
