Looking at the trailer again, anyone notice that Incineroar's Darkest Lariat makes use of red flames? Pretty unique for a Dark type move.

The official blurb about Primarina on the PokeSuMo site states: Sparkling Aria is a Water-type special move that only Primarina can learn, and it heals the burns of any target it strikes.
I can only make a guess about this being a move that would really only have some value if you're in a double battle. If the opponent pokemon burns Prima's battle partner, it could use the move to heal them. I agree that I don't really see how this would have any kind of real value if you're engaged in a single battle. Although maybe someone with a lot more experience than me in competitive battling could think of something?
IT's possible it could be for both reasons: Alolan Marowak enhanced it's senses and is connected to the night marchers of polynesian myth.
At the meantime, I'm starting to like Incineroar as well and the concept behind it. He is a wicked wrestler, not bad!!! Overall, no doubt that this is the best starter trio of all generations. Amazing type combinations, amazing signature moves and amazing concepts!!!!! It is the first time I want to start with all three starters if possible.
Yes. A "Heel" wrestler. It makes more sense for that to be dark. The dark type isn't just dark energies and stuff like Dark Pulse. Look at these moves.And then there's the infamous Incineroar... I still don't like it. Yeah, you can say it's a Fire/Dark all you want, but it still has that beefy appearance of a Fire/Fighting. Not only that, but the website states it as the "Heel" Pokemon. It's a wrestler! Might as well be a FIghting-type design-wise.
Too bad Gamefreak seems to give the female PCs the shaft unless they're stapled to Ash Ketchum. -_- I want grown up Leaf thanks. Red was not my trainer. At least Blue is as douche as ever though. <3
It actually benefits from replacing Flying with Ghost. I noticed that all three fully evolved starters have immunity to at least one type.
Blue hasn't had blue or green clothes since... forever.
Gen I was purple and black with brown boots
Gen III was more black and purple with a gray fanny pack
Gen IV was black and khaki
Yup, but we all know his original name is Green, mistranslation again *sigh* (or Nintendo America's mistake)
Yeah, I know. I didn't say that it didn't make sense for it to be a Dark-type. I'm just saying that they used this aspect of the Dark-typing as an excuse to make what is, for all intents and purposes design-wise, another combative Fighting-like Pokemon similar to the previous Fire starters. Just because it is a "pragmatic fighter," doesn't mean it isn't a drastic departure from previous concepts.Yes. A "Heel" wrestler. It makes more sense for that to be dark.

"Beat Up"
"Fake Tears"
"Flatter"
"Foul Play"
"Nasty Plot"
"Payback"
"Sucker Punch"
"Punishment"
"Taunt"
"Thief"
The dark type is about dirty fighting, thievery, bullying, rudeness, trickery, and shadiness. Incineroar is perfect for it. This is also why fighting beats dark. Dark types are dirty, opportunistic, pragmatic fighters, where fightings are trained in fighting skillfully the "right" way, and are (usually, unless they are dark) honorable, so they win against "evil" dirty fighting mon.
Plus. In hindsight all that black (specially the ripped sleeves look) is a big hint at Houndour 2.0.
Also, in Pokémon Blue, players can select "Red" as the rival's default name.Well, no, it's not a mistranslation or a mistake. It's a deliberate localization, because "Green" wouldn't make sense for the areas where the first Pokémon games released were Red and Blue.

Oh ok I see. Sorry I misunderstood and told you a bunch of stuff you already know then.Yeah, I know. I didn't say that it didn't make sense for it to be a Dark-type.
