* After so many generations of the games have focused on one particular Marowak who died protecting her Cubone child, it is heartwarming that the lore for Alola Marowak centers on how they are resistant to such tragedies.

* Hyper Training may not seem like it belongs on this list, but since you can improve a Pokémon's iv's at will, this means that (with a bit of luck regarding natures and the like), you can finally use Pokémon you acquired over the course of the main game in serious competitive play!

* Unfortunately, Popplio was a huge BaseBreaker, receiving some of the most overtly hateful reactions expressed to any starter in the franchise. Luckily, there have still been plenty of fans sympathetic to Popplio, showing their support in the form of the "Popplio Defense Squad". Even more heartwarming is that even though some of this Squad are Rowlet and/or Litten fans, they still love Popplio all the same, drawing fanart of them together (see above).

* The Japanese [[https://youtu.be/2r0_F-_ClcQ live action trailer]] released in May features a young Japanese boy who recently moved to Hawaii struggling to adapt. He sees a boy from his school class at a video game store where ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'' have just been released, and thanks to the game, he's eventually able to overcome his fear and make friends with the boy. The in-game text makes it all the better.



* One Fridge Heartwarming to notice, especially for US people; Hawaii has the largest Asian population compared to the rest of the US, with the Japanese Americans being the second largest ethnic group. Somewhat subtly, this could be Japan as the mainland acknowledging its foreign-born children.

* As with all mainline Pokémon games, the professor sends out a Pokémon to show to the player. In Kukui's case, it's his Rockruff, who quickly jumps up in front of him to take up most of the screen in the video chat and gives a precious little smile.

* An [[http://kotaku.com/pour-one-out-for-popplio-the-new-pokemon-starter-that-1776125803 article]] (which shows up as one of the first Google results for "Popplio,") entitled "Pour One Out For Popplio, The New Pokemon Starter That Nobody Likes," showcases the very divisive reaction of fans to this small circus puppy, ranging from [[PreciousPuppy adoration]] to [[TheScrappy complete disgust]]. The article ends on a rather sweet note, however, and demonstrates the appeal that Popplio has for its supporters:
--> ''"The more I looked at Popplio and his fan renditions, however, the more I realized that he reminded me of my actual dog. They both have those sad, meek eyes that puppies sometimes do. They both inspire a sense of helplessness, they both have this strong sense of purity. ... Maybe it is not so much that there is something innate about Popplio’s design that inspires disgust, inasmuch as it is that we truly do not deserve Popplio. He’s a good boy. Yes he is."''

It's beautiful if you listen to this because it's like she's singing to Popplio and probably even uses it as a lullaby! <3
