It's been a while, but we've finally been able to make a list of winners of the weekly Sun and Moon contests we've done before the release of the games! :D

Remember that there aren't any physical prizes for this particular series, but the winners do get something just as valuable: Bragging Rights.

So without further ado, here are the answers and winners:
(note: answers that contain spoilers are under spoiler tags)

#1: What will be the localized names of Iwanko and Nekkoara?
Answer:
Rockruff and Komala

Winner(s):
None

#2: What will be the name and the goal of the evil team?

Answer:
Name: Team Skull
and the Aether Foundation
Goal:
Team Skull seems to mostly just want to wreak havoc and are helping the Aether Foundation because Lusamine was the first adult to take Guzma seriously. The Aether Foundation's goal is to use Cosmog to open Ultra Wormholes so Lusamine can be with her beloved Ultra Beasts.

Winners:
- Name: None
- Goal: None

Answer:
Most: tie between Grass and Normal

No one guessed both correctly, but both these users guessed Water for most and Ice for least, and Water is right after Grass/Normal with most Pokémon, so they're the closest.

Congrats everyone! :D

Notes:
  • Some correct answers have not been counted because they were/could have been taken from leaks or rumors that were credible at that time, or other reasons.
  • With questions that asked for multiple answers (e.g. #6 and #7), the user(s) who had the most answers correct has been chosen as winner(s).
  • If you disagree with any of the answers, please contact me or discuss it in this thread :)

Wow! Didn't expect to have the Alolan Dex question almost right! :O

Congrats to all the braggers winners! :)
 
So basically, what you are saying is that I can tell the future, right?

But congratulations everyone, and Happy Holidays!
 
From what I could tell, I counted 14 Grass-types in Sun and Moon (Rowlet's line, Bounsweet's line, Morelull's line, Fomantis's line, Tapu Bulu, Kartana, Alolan Exeggutor and Dhelmise). There are also 14 Normal-types (Yungoos's line, Alolan Rattata's line, Pikipek's line, Stufful's line, Komala, Type: Null's line, Oranguru, and Drampa). However there are 13 new Water-types (Popplio's line, Wishiwashi, Pyukumuku, Dewpider's line, Bruxish, Tapu Fini, Wimpod's line and Mareanie's line). I'm not sure if the answer will be changed but I believe that the most common types in Alola are Grass and Normal.

Huh, I had written Normal and Grass on my list of correct answers, but somehow had Water on my mind when looking for the winners ^^;

Checked all the answers again, and the winners remain the same, as they now got the closest to getting both answers correctly.

Sorry about that, it's fixed in the OP now. Thanks for mentioning it!
 
Of course, the one time I decide to try guessing the player character names, they don't get them.
