Let me just say, nothing has brought me more joy this past week than seeing people Hala post on twitter. It started with some people making fun of those dumb gimmick accounts and now it’s everywhere. Like it’s literally the only thing on my timeline.

ok i'll be for real i know that it's not so popular opinion but i think base sun and moon are the most good and insane pokemon games. remember when it came out. player characters have human proportions now. mimikyu hysteria. OMG YOU CAN SEE THE TRAINERS IN BATTLE! trials were cool as fuck. kahuna on a stroll to the laguna. lusamine was obviously evil but that doesn't even matter because she was written well. pokeball throwing styles. REGIONAL FORMS. all those weird little events. grimsley was there. y'all are stupid. lillie carrying around a 1000 kg pokemon in her little bag. the kukui fist bump. ultrabeast lusamine. YOU ARE THE CHAMPION + TITLE DEFENCE. what even was battle royale. ULTRA WORMHOLES. awesome postgame story and battle tree. the lillie + lusamine ultra space cutscene made me cry for real. POKE. PELAGO.

of course, i'm not done with Iono on the mod, but a dear friend asked me who will be replacing gustavo and she suggested me that Hala, from pokemon sun and moon with a tauros would be an idea
i must say... i do wanna have this old man riding a tauros be in place of gustavo and brick... they seem fitting and funny dsfjklsdklj gonna save this after i'm finished with all the iono sprites
"Dooot doo doo, just a kahuna on a stroll to the la-" then he found out that wasn't the laguna

Full tier list is here, breakdown of the C-tier. Again, I generally like these ones, they give a bit more than the D-tier, but they're again not really hitting that sweet spot.
Shauna: dating Serena. the only XY friend with personality, really.
Rowan: I dunno man, I just like Rowan.
Kukui: Fun quirky dude, fails to hit any particular love point with me somehow.
Sycamore: The dork man himself. I dunno, he's fun sometimes.
Blue: Kanto anti-bias, but Blue is at least a decent character half the time.
Nanu: can be really fun with Grimsley or Looker/Anabel, kinda whatever on his own.
Kieran: Okay listen I liked what Teal Mask set up but do not respect where Indigo Disk went. Kieran falls short for me. They gave him some neat beats but he doesn't stand out.
Fantina: she's silly <3
Amarys: Kinda love that she's Carmine's bestie. She's alright.
Lisia: Wish they did more with her.
Calem: Masters skews this, but I love his rival focus as being frustrated he can't beat Serena and trying really hard to keep pace. That's good protag characterization.
Rei: he gets stuff.
Barry: Fun rival, has some quirks going on.
Hop: When I'm being fair I like him, when I'm not being fair he feels repetitive to previous rivals.
Agatha: cool old spooky lady, loved a Masters even with her but she doesn't get enough play. Let's Go redesign actually top tier.
Koga/Janine: I like the ninja family, they're cool.
Sabi: she's silly <3
Yancy: I really liked Yancy, okay. "Don't you play as the girl? What about-" I have nothing to say about him.
Wikstrom: Silly knight man with lore implications due to the whole knight thing.
Diantha: Sadly does not get the play she deserves. Could be higher if they gave her more.
Leon: I think the series is confused about what makes Leon interesting and keeps failing to lean into what's broken about him. That one Generations episode got it.
Birch: fun professor, the only one doing legitimate field work.
Burnet: She's fun too, not much to add.
Viola: I kinda like her fight, so I kinda like her.
Lenora: she's just a cool lady.
Hala: just a kahuna on a stroll to the laguna. He gets it.
Wallace: Fabulous, but that is not enough for affection.
Grant: I dunno, I kinda just vibe with his design.
Bertha: I have a soft spot for her. Tough granny.
Mustard: Same deal, but more active.
Lance: He has some stuff but I feel like he's a lot blander than people give credit for.
Will: Kind of a weirdo, and I respect it.
Drake/Glacia: they're just neat.
Sonia: I like Sonia alright, but I feel like her "research" is kinda just her showing up and talking about stuff you incidentally find, and she removes Magnolia from view which I consider a cardinal sin.
Giacomo: he's neat.
Morgan/Evelyn: I kinda like these two, they have fun, if one-note, personalities.
Ingo/Emmet: I know I reversed it, but I'm used to this order. They're alright. My wife likes them a lot more than I do, but I don't really know them because I refuse to do Battle facilities anymore.
Piers: got all the neat stuff Marnie should've gotten and it still wasn't enough for me to think he's that interesting.
Lucian: the man has style.
Zinzolin: Legitimately and unironically the best part of the Team Plasma. He is literally just some old fart with no significance running around ranting and raving about how feeling the cold biting at your skin and suffering is proof that you're alive. Actually unhinged, best subordinate.
Beni/Sanqua: I like these two a lot.
Tierno: he can be fun, XY just kinda overdid it with friends.
Sawyer: I do kinda like the loyal friends.
Raihan: he's fine. At least he has personality.
Ryuki: Look, I know I'm discounting the anime in most cases, but they made him such an over the top rocker with a headbanging Zweilous, I am making an exception to put him in C.
Protagonists: they're all cute enough.
Gordie: Swag.
Melony: Finally, a mom that looks like a mom.
Falkner: Johto bias.
Olivia: can have a fun personality but not as much play time.
Korrina: sure.
Eri: Has stuff going on I just don't strongly connect with her. I think it's the wrestling. I am not into wrestling.
Wake: See above.
Mira: I just think she's funny. Lost in a cave and you rescue her only for her Kadabra to put in more work than you do.
Ghetsis: conceptually interesting, but still a bitch.
Guzma: see above, though I think the implications of him being an abused child are fascinating. He has some fun structural ideas on the nature of abusive cycles, and how someone who is abused is easily abused by others who show even the slightest trust in them. But he's also really abusive toward his underlings and I'm just not a huge fan of Team Skull in general so C is the best I can do.

- Professor Kukui yelling excitedly about pokémon moves as his Rockruff attacks him. There may or may not be sounds of things breaking in the background, along with Lillie lamenting about the roof.
- Lillie trying to shove a complaining Nebby in the damn bag.
- Hau eating Melemele Island’s entire stock of malasadas.
- Hala’s little “Just a Kahuna on a stroll to the laguna” tune.
- Nanu’s army of Alolan Meowth left to their own devices at his police station.
- Ultra beasts committing crimes against Alola and her eardrums.
To combat the dialogue problem with gen 7, the gen 7 remakes will be the first mainline Pokémon game with voice acting. The gen 7 remakes will have audio logs which you can listen to while just walking around alola. Enjoy stuff like
Gladion’s emo screaming to MCR
Guzma ordering a Tapu Cocoa
Lana seeing an eevee drop into the lake
Lusamine talking about ultra beasts for 20 minutes straight

I’m just a kahuna on a stroll in the Laguna…. Hmmm what’s this? An unfamiliar powerful presence?

UNCONSCIOUSLY Kahuna Hau mimics some of Hala’s faces ( & ) even catchphrases from time to time. He DENIES IT when someone points it out but it’s more than obvious he got a couple of expressions ( & ) poses based on Hala’s.

Tapu Ash/Visi acts like a cat, sometimes kahuna hala is taking a stroll around The laguna and find kukui with a sleeping tapu Ashy on his lap purring so loud it could shake the heavens
He's surprise to see kukui and the new unknown legendary of alola just sleeping peacefully under a tree, and the legendary is purring like a fucking cat
I think he would probably ask about this day an goes full:
"U have a secret legendary on u house and u didn't tell me 🤨"
And then he would help him hidde ash from the multiple hunters that are on the island

A Kahuna and his Protégé (Closed RP with craniumaniac)
It was a fine afternoon in Iki Town to Hala, who sat on the stage idly as he watched some wild Pikipek fly above the town on their journey to go wherever the winds led them. It was carefree, peaceful, and...And where was young Guzma? Hala was sure he’d asked the lad to come out here with him to continue his training, hadn’t he?
He could understand that Guzma felt wronged when he couldn’t become a Trial Captain, in a way, but...Oh, perhaps the other had slept in, or gone to do his own training? Hah! If those were the cases, then Hala would have to forgive Guzma’s tardiness, he figured as he got off of the stage and started back towards his home while humming a cheerful tune.
“Doo, doo, doo...Just a Kahuna on a stroll to the laguna. ♪” Hala hummed, despite not even going to a laguna as he muttered to himself. “Now, I should probably make sure Guzma didn’t oversleep, first...That boy will make a fine Trainer yet, or I’m no Kahuna! Dahahahaha! And if he’s awake and out, I’ll need to find him. After all, one’s training is important! Now, I should check inside already.”
#craniumaniac#Elite Four (Verse)#Sun/Moon (Verse)#And here you go! I can change things up some if you need me to though!

Miscellaneous things I liked about Sun and Moon
-Kukui coming to your house and just letting himself in.
-Kukui asking the main character to find the kahuna without actually giving a short fill in on who he is, other than “he looks just like a kahuna”.
-the little wobble effect when you’re crossing the bridge to save Nebby.
-The main character asking Lillie if she’s a kahuna, either jokingly or because they genuinely have no idea what a kahuna is.
-Hau’s theme. I mean, I’m psyched for Hau in general, but I really loved his music.
-the cutscenes. No seriously. I like reading dialogue and interactions between characters. The cutscenes at the beginning of the game really set the right mood and tone for me imo.
-Trainer models behind their Pokémon during battles.
-finding Ledybas on route 1.
-Kukui yelling “Oh yeah, Rockruff! My body is ready!” from inside his lab, giving the impression of a hilarious double entendre.
-The Rotom pokédex’s witty personality.
-And the wide variety of Pokédex entries ranging from “really sweet” to “how did this get past ERSB’s ratings?”
-just the sentiment of going out into the islands with your starter and just one or two low level Pokemon.
-Pokémon Refresh!! I had no idea how much of an improvement Refresh was to Amie! Like you can just give a Pokemon two sparkly rainbow beans and they’ll love you forever!
-the ability to just go into a PC and grab your pokémon or move it around without any of that “withdraw or deposit” bullshit.
-that adorable scene where Rotom takes a picture of you, Hau, and Lillie.
-Rotom thirsting over “that dreamboat Ilima”.
-The Skull grunts at the berry farm. More specifically the one who had self-esteem issues.
-when the Skull grunts think you can’t tell them apart cause they’d switched positions so they swap places and are like “how’s that?”
-Totem Pokémon being three times larger than they normally would and scaring the crap outta you.
-The fuckin anime-ass pose your main character does whenever they get a Z-crystal
-in fact Z-moves in general. A lot of older fans seem to dislike them but honestly they were one of the only things that convinced me to buy the game.
-Ride Pokémon!!!!No HMs!!!!!!!
-Also being able to program any Ride Pokémon on the D-pad. That’s become like second nature to me.
-that cutscene when you’re on the boat from Melemele to Akala island.
-and that little exchange between Lillie, Hau, and Kukui when they reach the shore.
-The shopping music. Holy fuck do I even need to tell you how amazing the shopping music is in this Gen???
-meeting Dexio and Sina again. I didn’t really care for the whole Zygarde thing but just seeing those two again was really sweet.
-Paniola Ranch and its chill af vibes.
-Lana trying to find a “strapping young swimmer” when she’s supposed to be guiding you through her trial.
-and her trying to convince you that her trial site has a Kyogre in it.
-The frickin Water type Z-move dance. Oh my god that wavy hula dance is the cutest thing ever.
-The whole “Professor Kukui wtf are you doing” “Who is this ‘Professor Kukui’ you speak of I am the Masked Royale!!” exchange.
-and then he just blurts out “and now we have our foursome!” and all the characters ignore it and move on as if that’s a normal thing to say in everyday conversation
-Kiawe’s trial. Just… everything about Kiawe’s trial.
-But mostly Hiker David.
-“Press A to pound the ingredients.”
Honestly tho that was the only redeeming quality to Mallow’s trial Totem Lurantis can go fuck itself in USUM.
-Professor Burnet’s groovin’ dimensional research lab theme.
-when Olivia does the Rock type Z-move dance and the camera just zooms in on Lillie gawking over her.
-OH YEAH that Pyukumuku chucking thing where you can get 20 000 pokédollars a day. I hope they bring that back because that was a real good way of making cash.
-And those missions in Pokécentres where if you’ve caught a set amount of Pokémon or if you’ve caught a specific Pokémon they’ll pay you like 10 000 dollars or something.
-Meeting Wicke for the first time and her being incredibly sweet and nice.
-That small bit when Hau can’t believe that Lusamine’s more than 40 years old and she’s really flattered.
-battling Nihilego for the first time.
-That scene on the boat to Ula’Ula Island where Hau talks to you and offers you a Malasada. That really solidified his friendship with the main character for me.
-Speaking of which that part where you’re at Malie Garden and Hau asks “hey, did you know-“ and you can just say “yah i know” and he’s like “dude come on I haven’t even asked the question yet.”
-that little side quest where you have to find a woman’s eight Stuffuls on route 10 that’s like really sweet but also why does she have so many stuffus?
-The Skull grunts who fucking try to steal a bus stop sign.
-Molayne. I liked his relationship with Kukui and Sophocles.
-and I especially liked the part where he gave you Kukui’s mask and when you give it to him Kukui’s just like “oH uhhhhh I’ll um give it back to the Masked Royale when I uh see him”
-Blush Mountain. It has such a nice name. Blush Mountain.
-Acerola’s, um… Little brother and sister? Kids she’s babysitting? I wasn’t too clear on how they were related to her, but they were cute either way.
-the whole bit where rotom’s afraid to go into the haunted store because “spoopy scary ghosts” despite him literally also being a ghost.
-On the subject of those two kids, the event where Team Skull stole the girl’s Yungoos and she gives you a Rare Candy just to get it back fucking broke my heart like oooooohhhh sweetie you didn’t have to give me this I would have gotten your Yungoos back either way!!
-Plumeria!!She was so underrated!
-uncle Grimsley’s cointoss bit where you could pick heads or tails but if you picked neither then he’d just say that Skarmory swooped in and grabbed it in midair, even though that obviously never happened and he was just bullshitting you.
-Also just the mere fact that Grimsley refers to himself as “Uncle Grimsley”
-Nanu. Enough said.
-The fact that all the Team Skull grunts in Po town are gay. Every. Single. One of them. gay
-That scene where Nanu does the Dark type Z-move pose and the main character and Gladion just stare at him and there’s just an awkward pause until he goes “there you cleared your trial or whatever”.
-actually now that I think about it, Sun and Moon had a lot of subtle humour.
-when you were infiltrating Aether Paradise and a good amount of employees were set on stopping you but there was like that ten percent who were like “whoa shit’s gettin wild out here lmao do you want us to heal your ‘mons? We could even take you back if you wanted i ain’t about to lose my job over some space conspiracy fuck that noise”
-That one Skull grunt who was all like, “wanna see me get hit by a Hyper Beam?”
-When you Battle Guzma outside of Lusamine’s mansion.
-LUSAMINE’S BATTLE THEME. HOLY SHIT.
-“Doot doo doo, just a Kahuna, taking a stroll through the laguna.”
-when Hau compliments Lillie over her outfit makeover and Gladion immediately pulls the defensive brother card.
-Seafolk Village’s night music. Oh my lord I’ve never wanted to marry a video game meledy before it.
-Hapu!!! Another underrated character!
-That scene where Lillie and the main character are in the cave on Exeggcutor Island in the rain.that was super cute.
-Vast Poni Canyon! Love me that guitar and flute!
-Mina!!! I can’t wait for her trial in usum I love her so much!!!!!
-when you go to Ultra Space and Rotom is unconscious because you’re disconnected from your world.
-When Lillie gave that whole speech to Lusamine and her sole reaction was basically “¯\_(ツ)_/¯” that absolutely slayed me
-After all that shit in Ultra Space and catching Nebby goes down and then Nanu’s just chilin’ at the Altar and is like “oh, hey, you can challenge the league I guess, if you really felt like it.”
-Kahili!!!!!
-THE MOTHERFUCKING CHAMPION THEME!!!
-that corny-ass scene where Lillie was gonna say something to the main character after the festival and it was all set up like a love scene from the final act of a goddamn comedy romance film and then they get shouldered by the fireworks. My heart can’t handle that kind of sappy cuteness and I need more of it.
-Looker and Anabel. Those two were adorbs.
-oh. And Alolan Raichu. When I first saw that Pokémon revealed in the trailer last July I knew that I had to buy Sun and Moon. Alolan Raichu is what got me into Pokémon.
#Keegster posts#Pokémon thoughts#sorry for the huge ass post i'm just very passionate about pokésmaun okay#no but srsly sorry#this took me two months to write#quite possibly the biggest post I’ve made on Tumblr#Pokémon#Pokemon Sun and Moon#Pokémon UltraSun and UltraMoon
