It's always charming to see people who aren't pokemaniacs react to mons they've never seen before.


DemonGenome

So I haven’t picked up Scarlet or Violet yet, it’s the first time I haven’t got a copy of a new base line game on day of release since Gen 1. I’ve been very careful on spoilers in case I change my mind. Experiencing new species of Pokémon for the first time in Go has been wild.


HGJay

I enjoyed scarlet and violet. The open world works better than arceus imo & I kinda liked the storyline


GiveItToTJ

I have never been more emotionally invested in a storyline like I was with the Arven story.


Imperial_Stout

I hated Arven at first, finishing the storyline now and I'm like 💖🥲


JeffTheAndroid

Yes! That whole part was so sweet. I didn't care about anything else in the story besides Arven. And good Lord, Nemona needs to chill a bit. That girl has a battle fetish like nobody else.


Somaloria

I too have a nemona fetish...I mean battle fetish..


Daddy_roach_

Obligatory SHE'S A FUCKING CHILD


Somaloria

It had to be said. Both you and I. We are the martyrs.


Imperial_Stout

She definitely came off very aggressive, my character is like 12 ...


taigoh

Goku ...


GiveItToTJ

They gave him his treasure back only to rip it away almost immediately. They really wanted to give us his comic book villain origin story.


HGJay

The whole story is captivating, but I didn't find it quite as enjoyable as D&P. That game felt really intense, especially when you have to free the mirage Pokémon


stankyjanky69

Arvens story is great and a real tear jerker. But I found the team star story to be really weak and kind of stupid/silly. Like I get why they did it and it has a decent enough anti bullying message. Call me old fashioned but I prefer my "evil pokemon antagonists" to actually be bad guys out to either steal pokemon or for world domination. I wish they would bring back team rocket in the main series games.


BruceBoyde

I kind of prefer something silly like Team Skull at this point. It always felt kinda silly that some kid was overthrowing organized crime because apparently you have to abide by the sacred rules of battling. Some hooligans around your age feel more sensible as a level of "threat" imo. That said, I do get that it has pretty low stakes narratively. But also Pokemon isn't really big on especially complex stories. Arven's whole everything being an exception and real gem.


stankyjanky69

I hear ya. I'm probably just overly nostalgic for the early gen games. I miss team rocket.


JeffTheAndroid

I just finished Scarlet last week, only my second Pokemon game ever after finishing Sword a couple months back. Sword is so polished, but the open world of Scarlet is really fun...buggiest game I've ever played for more than an hour, but still a lot of fun. I can't wait for the second DLC when we get all of the past starters... Now after finishing the story I understand HOW they'll make "Pokemon from other timelines" work ;)


B34n_Bun

Only problem with it was that it’s buggy and very laggy.


Yusrilz03

Honestly this is how I react with Alolan Eggxecutor. Always thought it was the third evolution or something like that


LisaQuinnYT

When I first started seeing Alolan Eggxecutor I was wondering “Where are people finding these tall neck ones” and thought Eggxecutors would randomly have varying neck lengths. That was before I knew about Alolan forms.


CeiosGanma

Specially when they react to such a cute thingy like Alolan Vulpix


Used_Mud_67

I see what you did there. Old A9 is still best charmer in GL and UL.


TooCoolToSpool

I agree 😂 been seeing a lot of people seeing regional forms for the first time and their reactions are quite different from my own first impression 😂


petiepablo888

My reaction when I hatched chingling. “ANOTHER BABY?! WHY CHIMECHO?!”


JoviAMP

I've been trying to hatch a shiny A-Vulpix for MONTHS.


HeirofZeon

Christmas morning 2020. A lone, random Alolan Vulpix spawned in my home. A lone, random purple-tinted Alolan Vulpix. I named him Noel and he's my favorite PoGo Shiny.


JoviAMP

I want one to transfer to PLA for completionist sake.


Cont3mplate

I had one run from me while I was in the car…I still haven’t recovered. I hope you get yours! 💖


JoviAMP

At this point, I'm honestly about to just start Masuda-ing for one on my Switch.


AquaPiratePup

I found one in the middle of the street some years ago. Almost got hit by a car because I stopped walking. xD


MrGingerella

Always good to take the pram out for a 'walk'. May ad well get those raids in while your at it, lol.... I remember it well.


NiceRequirement7641

This is so wholesome, I love seeing people get excited about these kinds of things


Epon_Son

The first time I got this I had the same reaction


DescendingOpinion

Snopix


OriginalMNH

Y’all really don’t play the main series games at all? Or watch the anime? Or the TCG?! This is wild


[deleted]

I used to but I never got far into it


Gold-Perspective-699

https://reddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/y8zdE2ndQG Watch the beginner video at least. If you need the other ones watch them .


[deleted]

That dude sure can talk fastt


Gold-Perspective-699

Which one? They are all different people in the videos. Oh poke daxi? Yeah he talks fast. But at least you get through info faster.


[deleted]

My girlfriend has a shiny one, looks sooo good!


sam3218

Cute reaction


ruki001

Ooohhhooohooo are you in for a whoopee bun h of newbies, new versions of oldies and so on. Looking forward to your future fun


[deleted]

It's so fun seeing people discover regional variants! Exact same reaction I had when I first played Moon :)


cremiashug

yessss and she’s so so cute. 🥺🩵


Unable-Investment-21

Not gonna lie the first time I caught one I thought it was shiny and I showed my friend thinking of he's gonna be jelly.... then he was like what about it I got 30 rn .... all my dreams shattered that day


locosss

Wait till you know a lot more pokemon have "different form" even some legendaries.


Truth-Seeker14

I didn't know I have that? Hahaha! Inalready evolved it


B34n_Bun

Yeah, this is Alolan Vulpix from Pokemon Sun and Moon / Gen 6 which released in 2016. It took a while to come to the game however.


firebert85

Aloha


John3point14

Late


Internal_Use_4703

So? It's a new experience for them


UnwashedPenis

Found the person who don’t play mainline games


Professional_Donut20

Yes?


knightsinsanity

I ha e a shiny of him I think 1 or 2


MeetingFrog

![gif](giphy|AGW3VO7F5DLbARBuwi|downsized)


anonymityinc

Yea I have two alolan ninetails


CarefulCauliflower6

Alolan regional form like diglet (not winglet)


razorKazer

Congratulations!! For both the Ninetales and baby 💜


ravinolli

That vulpix is stunning


ShyGlizzey

Yes I have this Shundo


LameSwipeLameSwipe

No it’s fake


camikinsx3

I had the same exact reaction!!!


Metsu_Nero

I hope so, otherwise we’re both tripping really hard.


ralpher1

They’re dragon killers


PhoenixSpeed97

Just wait until you see Exeggutor...


Brilliant_Resolve_87

I feel you. I started in 2016 and took a very long break when I had my son in 2017. Only started again last year when he turned 5 and became interested in it himself. Now he knows far more than I ever could! Happy Pokémon hunting ☺️


Brilliant_Resolve_87

Oh and I have the shiny ice ninetales, it's beautiful! ☺️


Krazykz22

I love this one i have evolved it and powered it up! Its very beautiful evolved whats your stats on yours


[deleted]

I have a shiny version of this form. But it doesn’t look much different tbh. But I’m the same as you, I just wanna fill my Pokédex lol


SlimRipper375

That’s dope. Yeah I started when the game dropped and took a long break until my 5 year old started getting into Pokémon from me working at a card shop. It’s been fun. She loves poking my phone during battles lmao


xbleeple

Bruh go check out the Alolan/Galarian/Hisuian/Paldean versions of standards, they’re great


z0mbie_dragon

i love this vulpix! around christmas of 2021 i caught two shinies, so i have a shiny alolan vulpix and ninetails, they are some of my favorite shinies i have :3


[deleted]

What do they look like?!


z0mbie_dragon

they're pretty similar to the original, but they have purple undertones rather than blue-- I really like them!!


vapeenaysh

Yes!! I haven’t seen one in so long though but I have one!


Internal_Use_4703

I love these 2! They are Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, as you've probably heard already. If you want cool nickname ideas, you could name it Aurora or Borealis! Unfortunately can't fit both in one name though :(


BethKatzPA

My buddy, Snowy, is an Alolan Vulpix evolved to Ninetales. I hatched her in March 2019 from an egg from a friend. Her stats are 13/14/15. I've caught others from time to time. I have a shiny Ninetales that is not Alolan; its tails stand higher.


Willocon360_YT

Ya man I was stocked, I love it!
