Does "Alola" also Mean Good-bye too?
8 years ago
As everyone knows, Aloha means both hello and good-bye which of course could make an infinite loop as Sandra Bullock's character pointed out in Miss Congeniality so...does the same apply to the Pokemon expression Alola? :P
Yup, I've been plugging away with Pokemon Sun and Moon while failing at Battlefleet: Gothic and Galactic Civilizations III and so far, I just arrived on Ula'ula Island in Moon and I just beat the league in Sun (and caught Tapu Koko). For the Sun team, here's how my trainer got to sit on the Throne for the God of War (I mean be Pokemon League Champion):
"Blaze" Inceniroar - Lv. 61
"Magus" Alakazam - Lv 61 (swept all of Hala's team easily)
"Max" Lycanroc (Midday Form) - Lv. 61 - Team MVP (especially against Kahili's burds...probably uses the birds for the golf balls)
"Warhorse" Mudsdale - Lv 62
"Ares" Kommo-o - Lv 60
"Anna" Leafeon - Lv 62
On Moon, I already (thanks to having both versions and two working DS platforms) have a Gengar and Magmazone (plus Primarina, Shelgon, Stoutland and Toucannon - though I can see substitutions for Flygon or other Pokemon). Just wish I could catch a darn Vanillish; catching Solgaleo with the first Quick Ball is much easier. :P Only other gripe is that I wish you could catch Riolu and get TM 24 before beating the league the first time...kinda stupid you can't get to Poni Grove and Plains before you do.
Speaking of Pokemon...while I was up in Richmond, I actually found an Eevee at Build-a-Bear. Seems like everytime they get Eevee it disappears. O_o Probably with someone who has Pokebeans or a Thunderstone...though more likely someone trying to make money on eBay by jacking the price up. Called him Wally, of course. :3
EDIT: If they really want to make a Pokemon "Stars" version of Gen VII...there's one thing I want badly; make Mega-Evolutions available before post-game for flexiblity (and ALL the Mega Stones, please). Other than trying out the odd Z-Move I don't even use them; they are more gimmicky than Mega Evolutions. Oh, and either more Mega Evolutions or some love for Sinnoh and Jhoto species...and speed buffs to the Alola species (they are TOO SLOW!). Though the other big thing is if they want to make this for the Switch, finally get your accounts more like Steam where I can jump from one piece of hardware to the next where I can use both my unique accounts on my 2DS and my 3DS and Pokebank across to the Switch. Just too bad Nintendo lags behind even Sony and Microsoft in that area (and I think the PS4 at the least can also run Steam).

Randy Savage (THE CREAM OF THE ALOLAN POKEMON FEDERATION; Incineroar, lvl 62
Cactus Jack the Gengar, 61 (got help trading from a friend.)
Yig the Gyarados, 60
SodaPopinski the Crabominable, 62 (she was a Crabrawler FOR SO LONG. Ugh.)
Mettaton the Magnezone, 62
Bouncee the Tsareena, 66 (named by an NPC, trade early on. She was stuck as a Steenee for so long cuz I rare candied to 29 and missed out on Stomp til I got to Mekalekka whozy mountain.)
And I named my BaB Eevee Veevee! Tho I should've gone with Vivi, oh well.
I think Catherine would be a better name for Tsareena (or Alexandria for Nicholas II's wife) and a Hypno named Rasputin. :P Then again, you can't rename the in-game trades.
Shadewyn(Male Decidueye) LVL 70
Hana-ka(Female Kommo-o) LVL 61
Voltrex(Female Vikavolt) LVL 65 (Took forever for her to evolve fully because of the canyon of the dragons requirement)
Luna(Lunala) LVL 66 (first quickball, I think the signiture legendary is a garunteed catch this time around, brother got Solgaleo with first luxury ball.)
Washteron(Male Wishiwashi) LVL 71
Mimi(Female Mimikyu) LVL 66
my team is mostly girls, so yay Girl Power! All of them have Z-crystals so I could pop a Z move at any given moment in the battle. I also went with ONLY new Pokemon because I like to do that with new Pokemon games.
My 2 Eevee were Mark and Leon, I'm giving all my Eevee, person names. So like, Jane or Maddie for a couple female Eevee. First game I can think of where you can CATCH Eevee.
Though other than using the bug Z-move on Faba's Hypno and trying out Snorlax's move, I didn't use a Z-move at all.
Though...if I went with Alolan Ninetales, I would have named her Mimi. ^^
I kinda have a "system" of Eevee names, based on my Pokemorph characters mixed in with others.
