UK retailer TESCO has added the Nintendo NX to their website in anticipation of its upcoming launch and also added a price: £349.99 to be exact (~$450 USD). It has since been removed, but could be an indication of what the system will retail for at launch or it could just be a placeholder.
For comparison, the Wii U’s premium set launched for $100 less, at $350. Fans may want to start saving now if TESCO’s page was accurate or at least in the ballpark. We also know that Foxconn, a giant Chinese electronics manufacturer, is testing NX production already.
What do you think? Too pricey?

im first. i think.
well, if it is combining the world of home and portable console, then it seems about right. I mean you would spend about the same buying both a Wii U and a New 3DS XL
i think it’s good combining both wii u and new 3ds xl together is a good thing
Lmao the state of this
”I have some info about these boats”
Magikarp boat will take you to the Kanto resort, where you can battle several NPCs who show up there randomly. Red, Blue, Leaf, the gym leaders, E4 and Lance. Oak will give you one of the starters
Steelix submarine will take you to the Johto resort, where you can battle Ethan, Lyra, Gym leaders, E4 and Archer. Professor Elm will give you a Johto starter
Huntail ferry will take you to the Hoenn resort. Brendan, May, Wally, gym leaders, E4 and Steven can be battled and Prof. Birch gives you a starter.
Whiscash ferry takes you to the Sinnoh resort, where Lucas, Dawn, Barry, gym leaders E4, Cynthia and Cyrus can be battled. Prof. Rowan gives you the starter.
Wailord line takes you to the Unova resort, which is split in two islands, Black Island and White Island. The Black Island NPCs include: Hilda, Hilbert, Cheren, Chili, Cress, Cilan, N and Alder and the elite 4.
White Island NPCs include: Nate, Rosa, Bianca, Hugh, Iris, Zinzolin, Ghetsis. Prof. Juniper and her father are also on this island and will give you a starter.
Kalos doesn’t have a resort, instead after collecting 50% of the Zygarde Cells and shown them to Dexio and Sina, they will offer you to travel with them to Southern Kalos Island which will have a couple of new towns, a forest and a cave where 50% Zygarde resides. After capturing Zygarde, several NPCs will appear in Sunnete City and can be battled like on the other resorts. The NPCs include: Calem, Serena, Trevor, Shauna, Tierno, gym leaders, elite 4, Diantha, Lysandre and AZ. Additionally, Sycamore is also present and will give you a Kalos starter.
Oh yeah, refresh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f6e24d44978c16e4999ae64e1a09b35dc8ca7c06dc2faeb174d71737a4d19a9d.jpg
I want it to be real so bad
Ehh ”it all comes together, in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon”
Would be cool, but sounds fake.
Also, Cyrus is in the Distortion World and Lysandre is presumably dead, so idk how they’d be on these islands.
Its the games’s 20th anniversary, this actually sounds more plausible to me than shit like Solgaleo and Lunala have a pre-evolution
No one said they had pre evos… Here at least
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnexplainedRecovery
So a Hoenn Pokemon is going to take you to a Sinnoh resort?
Do they hate Finneon that much? lol
Faker than Iron Pyrite.
i hope it turns out to be true
Faaaakkke!!! Why on earth would they make us go to every region and fight every Villanous boss, Protagonist, Champion, E4, and every Proffesor gives you a starter.
And the game that all comes together sounds like a final game when it’s confirmed that Pokemon will have a game for the NX next year a few months after reveal so Fake definitely fake.
It’s worth noting that companies do not price their consoles by saying, “ok we well it’s £350 in Europe, so according the US exchange rate we have to sell it for $450 in America.” I’m expecting the NX to be no more than $400 but likely $350 in the US.
Are you mad? Dollars are less tant euro or pounds… so fuck off and work more to save money
Lol oh my. Actually I’m just a guy with an accounting and econ degree who understands there is more that goes into the price of something than just exchange rates. I don’t feel entitled to any price point on any product. I’m just stating my expectations.
State of you mate. Deactivate
So…this would include a home console *and* a handheld? Because I guess that would be reasonable. £250 for the home console, £100 for the handheld.
Tbh I was hoping that if future Pokemon games come to a handheld NX, that I’d be able to buy it separately because I haven’t had interest in a Nintendo home console since the N64 :/ (also I don’t have £350 for games lol)
In this modern day, systems don’t run that cheap. If the NX were a handheld and console; the handheld will likely be around $200 and the console around $300 to $350.
Yes…I said that the console would reasonably be $300-$350…I just wrote it as £250. I iz British ^^
I just figured if the total price was £350 and the console part was worth £250, then the handheld is worth what’s left…£100. I wasn’t saying they couldn’t reasonably release the handheld separately and price it higher. Of course they could.
Its most definitely a placeholder. If they put less, say 200. they’d have to honor that price even if the NX ends up being 250 or so.
JUST SHOW THAT DAMN THING ALREADY
We have rumors, tweets, discussions and even a bloody song about this thing and none of us have any official footholds
Its being canceled, just revealed by Miyamoto and Reggie on Snapchat
Well I guess that 350$ I’ve been saving for about 3 years will stay in the drawer until something comes up
TBH when Tesco revealed the PS4 price before it was officially unveiled, it too was pricey (I think about £450.00 which is apx $650 USD) but it maybe a place holder. But to be fair, as I always say, unless that console has more than 3 games I want, then I’ll buy it, and for now the only games I see I would want is the planned Pokemon games (I assume Gen 8) and The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild (which I can also get for my Wii U).
But personally if it is a Handheld/Console hybrid that can play A Breath of the Wild (a game that will also be on the Wii U game mind you) I am impressed, so I do have high hopes for this generation of Nintendo games. I just hope its Backwards compatible with physical and digital 3DS games as well as backwards compatible with digital Wii U games. Would LOVE to play Wind Waker HD on the go.
Why Generation 8 so soon? I think it might be Diamond and Pearl remakes. But that’s just me. Also, I doubt backwards compatability is happening to the handheld or console.
True, but lets see how it goes. And I say Gen 8 as I assume next year GameFreak will release the last set of Pokemon games (main gen 7) on the 3DS before moving on to the next handheld (for reference I’m using Gen 4 and Gen 5 being on the DS as reference).
I feel like S/M is the last Pokemon Games on the 3DS. With the Pokemon CEO saying that Pokemon games will be on the NX. I’m quite sure GameFreak is already making games for the system.
You know, I felt the same way tbh. But I do kinda hope we have one more Pokemon game as a last hurrah for the 3DS, I mean Nintendo seems pretty intent with having it around as the are trying to us it as a way to heal the wound left by the Wii U by bringing over Yoshi’s Woolly World and Mario Maker to 3DS.
All games within the same generation are usually on the same console. Since the potential DP remakes will still be a part of Gen 7, I see them being on the 3DS.
Although having said that since the original DP were on a DS system, they may wait till Gen 8 for remakes, or the least likely option in my opinion, put them on the NX as part of Gen 7.
It could be that, but I think they will follow a trend started with Gen 4 e.g. Gen 4: Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum then Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver (Remake on newer hardware e.g. the Nintendo DS). Then Gen 5 with Pokemon Black and White then the second paired games of the same Generation but new plot with Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Then Gen 6 hops to the Next gen portable (The Nintendo 3DS) with Pokemon X and Pokemon Y as main games with Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (With the remake on newer hardware e.g. the Nintendo 3DS) as the remakes.
If they follow this pattern then we MAY (its a guess) see a follow up to Pokemon Sun and Moon on the 3DS as a Gen 7 title (maybe paired or so) and MAYBE we will see a Gen 8 with a paired remake of the Gen 4 games, once again, on newer hardware which would be the NX.
That’s what i’m expecting to be on nintendo nx in gen 7
yep i’m expecting diamond and pearl remake to be on nintendo nx and coming out in 2017, i wonder what they’ll do to celebrate diamond and pearl 10th year anniversary, since the game was release in september 28 2006, and september 28 2016, is almost here, i wonder what they’ll do?
$450 is rather steep. I could see it being around $300 to $350 in the West. I’d say the price is a place holder. Like I said before, Nintendo is running out of time to reveal the NX. It’s almost October and no sight of the console other than the quotes from Pokemon CEO and Ubisoft.
The thing with this is, they don’t usually compensate in Europe. A n3DS here is 200 bucks, when I was in Germany, a n3DS was 200 euro. They have the tendency to just take the same price and charge that in Europe. PS4s were 399 euro, I’m sure you get my point. It may or may not be a place holder, but, I don’t think we should assume the converted price is the correct price.
$450? It better be laced in gold.

This is the greatest thing that has ever thing’d 😀
I immediately thought this when I saw the Z-Move
This made me laugh so hard haha
This is kinda amusing to watch, especially when you hate Pikachu.
Oh that reminds me
Yesterday at best buy they were demoing the Playstation VR Helmet
and i gotta say it was pretty dang cool
i played Battlezone and i gotta say VR is different when it slaps you in a cockpit of a moving vehicle
And i thought the helmet world would fry my eyes but it felt more like a “dark enclosed mini movie theater for 1”
Which gave me a devilish and almost taboo idea
VR Life&Styles Sim type of game Example: Animal Crossing VR
my brother thought that would be good but he fears that people of a weak constitution would live inside their VR helms
Man, I’m jealous. VR looks so cool
Sooo I’m going to need some of you to just breath and calm down. Console prices are literally always listed as the same number but with different currencies. For example, the price of the PS4 at launch was listed as:
$399.00 US
$399.00 AU (the Australian dollar is different)
€399.00
£349.00 (because the sterling is so much stronger than the dollar)
So listing it as £349.00 does not mean the US price will be $450. It more than likely means a $350.00 US price tag. Don’t believe me? Look up the international prices of the last two console generation launches for each company and you’ll see.
i’m cool as a cucumber
i has a job and like 2k (minus 600 for my new computer) saved up 350$ from Graduation doing nothing, plus my tip jar with 80 something dollars, my quarter jar has over 120$ and mah birthday is coming in 2 weeks so i’m rich bitch!
Lmaooo you don’t know how hard I just laughed bruh!!! I really hope that last phrase was the reference that I think it was!
I almost literally died laughing , thanks for that :3
That’s what I was saying. This price is likely a placeholder in the first place. Also, it’s likely they just put it through Google’s price conversion. The NX in the West is likely $300 to $350 dollars.
Exactly, people panic about things far too quickly lol.
Don’t forget the £:$ ratio has dropped since then.
450? Wow, ok… Hm… yeah that’s a lot. This is probably a place holder though so hopefully it won’t be as much but wow
How the hell is Mega Swampert not Water/Fighting?
Because Blaziken already has the Fighting-type.
Also, Water/Ground is a better type combination.
Its literally the blue Pokemon version of Popeye.
At least we know it’s high end… But my ps4 was $400- ,-
Ok lads! I’ve reached the Pokemon League in Alpha Sapphire. I just beat Wally. This is my current team, but I’m not gonna challenge the league yet, want to do a bit more exploring first.
Swampert
Salamence
Gallade
Aggron
Cradily
Slaking
Thoughts??????
Cradily <3
You have nice coverage. Has slaking been frustrating to use?
Not really, Truant prevents it from attacking consecutive turns but it has good endurance so it doesn’t really take a lot of damage
Does it make the battles feel monotonous though?
No
Maybe I’ll use one some day
I just caught two Snorunt so I might replace one of Cradily/Slaking with either Glalie or Froslass
How are you training all these Pokemon?
Trainer’s Eye+Lucky Egg
Gotcha. Gotta love the lucky egg
And Exp.share obviously
Sharpedo
Nah, he’s got Swampert, although Sharpedo is awesome.
Sharpedo is better. I had Swampert AND Sharpedo on my team. ?
I haven’t had Sharpedo in a while. I do like both of them though
Ok so I decided to start Pokemon Heart Gold and have made it to Ekrutek City, and have just beaten Morty. So I need help with a Water Pokemon on my team, but I prefer it be only Johto Pokemon (even an evolution of a gen 1 to gen 2 Pokemon). So here is my current Team:
-Pikachu @ Lv. 23 (Lonely Nature): Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, Double Team, Thunder Wave
-Bayleef @ Lv. 23 (Lax Nature): Magical Leaf, Sunny Day, Synthesis, Reflect
-Houndoom @ Lv. 25 (Lonely Nature): Dark Pulse, Fire Fang, Bite, Will-o-Wisp
-Heracross @ Lv. 24 (Adamant Nature): Brick Break, Bulk Up, Strength, Horn Attack
-Golbat @ Lv. 23 (Naughty Nature): Areal Ace, Bite, Wing Attack, Confuse Ray
Any help with a water type Pokemon would be great, thanks 😀
I would do Lapras or Cloyster. Ice will be really helpful for Lance. Plus I just love those guys. Slowking could be another option
Personally I’m trying to avoid using Pokemon found in Gen 1, and try to stick with a team of Gen 2 with my fav Pokemon starter. But I was curious about Slowking. Any tips on how to use one?
Personally I’ve never had a slowbro :/ I’m not much help
Ah well that’s fines XD. I’ll figure out a water Pokemon sooner or later. I might see how hard a Remoraid is and catch it, as I hear Octillary is decent.
I always liked Octillery, although they’re pretty slow
How about Quagsire? I really like how its only weak to one type, and that being Grass, and that its a Ground type, meaning I get STAB Earthquake and Surf.
Although I hate its design, its typing would be beneficial to your team.
If you can get a Relaxed Quagsire it won’t lower it’s Special attack. Or any speed lowering nature since ot is so slow already. Quagsire is a great choice.
Kingdra is fun
Kingdra, Slowking ot Quagsire are decent choices!
Little tip for those who’re playing ORAS, and are looking for a Dusk Stone (Honchcrow=life) there’s a trainer on Mt. Pyre called Hex Maniac Valerie whose Trainers Eye battle resets every time you exit and re-enter Mt. Pyre. She has a 5% chance to give you a Dusk Stone as reward for defeating her.
The price at this point isn’t too surprising. Retailers almost never post the actual prices for stuff like consoles this far in advance. We haven’t even seen the freaking thing yet. A lot of times retailers just start with a price that’s on the higher end as it keeps the people that pre-order super early from getting deals that would be ridiculously cheap. I’m sure the actual price won’t be as expensive as this. It’ll most likely drop at least $50 if not a little more. That said if the NX is really as great as they say I’d expect it to be about the PS4’s price range. Maybe a little cheaper, but not by much.
you do know that it’s a placeholder price right?
Did you even read what I wrote………..?
So we’ve finally run out of Pokemon things to talk about?
Very well then, if you need me I’ll be in Markarth drinking Skooma and pickpocketing people.
Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
Argonian master race!
Fur is better than scales 😛
Never! Reptiles ftw
me i’m loving my new Enhancement Shaman (Which is a Melee spec with elementally charged weapons)
They finally added some Earth based attacks (Boulderfist, Sundering and Lava lash)
Hrm, well that’s not Skyrim related…
I’ll be in the mostly dead Battleborn fandom now, ttyl
Whiterun is a tourist trap 😛
stay away from Riften, that’s the domain of Edea, queen of thieves. she’s a brute I tell you, and some say she disappears in the blink of an eye….then your coin purse, or worse, your sweetroll goes missing!
*owns Honeyside*
This could be a problem…
This better be a placeholder price, because i’m going to pay $400 for nintendo nx, i already paid for $350 for Xbox one, $130 for HD TV and the rest of game $30 a piece (because i got it online), i’m expecting $200 like the new nintendo 3ds XL
If you’re expecting that low of a price then you’re expecting a sub par product……..It’ll likely be around the price range of the Xbone and PS4. IF it’s really as good as they say it is anyway lol
I’m all about saving my money instead of spending it all willy-nilly like it’s nothing, but if that price is going to be high, then i’ll stick to my new nintendo 3ds xl
That’s fair, but I’ve never really liked when people say that consoles should be cheap just because they can’t afford it. I’m not attacking you or anything it’s more of a general opinion rather than aimed at you directly. I get not everyone is able to buy everything, but it is what it is. The main consoles are gonna be on the more expensive side lol
that true, but it’s a placeholder price for now
It’s a home console. A successor to the Wii U. There will be a coinciding handheld for it but this isn’t it. If you expect a console with power rivaling the Ps4 and Xbone for $200 then you need to re-evaluate yourself.
it’s a console for kids too, do you think their parents would pay $400 for nintendo nx
The last gaming device my parents bought was a GameBoy color for Christmas when I was little. If I want something I work for it myself.
Also I work at Toys R Us. We have parents coming in ALL THE TIME to buy a new Xbone or Ps4 for their kids. We sell at least two of each consoles a week. Trust me if a kid wants it these days, their parents will buy it for them. Besides, Nintendo has been teasing the NX as a console as powerful as the Ps4 and Xbone. Because of this they always have deals struck for more mainstream games and companies. I think $400 is fine. I certainly wouldn’t pay +$300 for a Wii U that had lackluster power and games.
well not me, if it was around $300 i wouldn’t paying for it, but it’s a placeholder price and they marked the nx in december 31st 2016, which is a mistake, both the price and date are placeholder until they come up with the official price and date of the release, but i highly doubt it would cost this much, it’ll probably make the kids loose interest of the game if it cost to much
Does anyone have an extra roughskin gible they’d be willing to part with?
i gots plenty of those nibblers
Could I maybe have one, please?
now i have this one that female, gentle, Rough Skin and carrying Outrage
or Female

Iron head and Outrage with rough skin
Buuuut that’ll cost a little more
That’d be fine. I’m not sure I have anything particularly good in return though..

does it have anything decent?
Uh well it was French and I wasn’t sure if you masuda or not..but if you do it might help you out I guess. Idk. It was a ground type too so I felt it would be less offensive than other things I could have offered. -shrugs-
Thank you, by the way
fine that Gible better be put to good use (You”ll just owe me a something something in SM)
and if it ends out a bulky Stealth Rocker there will be Hell to be paid
I think I’m just aiming for some sort of jolly garchomp..I don’t really have too much planned out. But I can try to help you out in SM if you need something. Are you getting both versions or nah?
I do love it when I catch a legendary/mythical with a Quick Ball in the first turn 😀
that’s because the legendaries catch rates were all increased. in x/AS, I did that to xerneas, zygarde, mewtwo, kyogre, rayquaza, deoxys, the regi trio, and rarely did it not work on hoopa’s rings. I really liked the challenge of capturing them before this happened.
Sort of took me 25 Ultra Balls before I got Entei though, XD
one of the wii u’s largest problems was how horribly it was advertised. I really feel that not showing us what the system is and is capable of when we are only a few months from launch is honestly not helping their case. I’m getting it regardless but still…
Has anyone ever heard that theory that Entei, Suicune and Raikou are reincarnations of Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon lol?
You are an expert regarding leaks, what do you think about this? Scroll to the bottom
http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/rumours-fakes-leaks-discussion-thread.214874/page-263
Fully convinced. This looks very, very detailed. It might be that some stuff is off but I reckon at least 80% of this is real.
Interesting…I like most of what was said but idk if that should be a red flag or not. I’m not sure I believe that they have details from gen 8..
I like to think that they’ve already started early development on Pokemon games for the NX. Big companies like GF probably think ahead for at least 5 years, and the world is such a big place, there’s plenty of material left for fresh new Pokemon games.
That’s true. But this guy mentions 4 fossil pokemon, which seems like a bit much. I really want a toy robot pokemon though! -Crosses fingers for dark/steel or electric/dark if true-
I think the Toy Robot Pokemon is for gen 8 in these leaks
Kinda hard to tell. It jumps around

What, are we driving a car or playing video games?
Do we know it’s real?
Interesting retro look for the possible prototype.
I’ve always liked the concept.. but I wonder, would they make the handheld part without buttons??
so wait.. That tablet is the new handheld? As in.. the new Pokemon games wont have physical controls? I don’t see what’s so special about it if you have to use the attachment to get any real gaming done.. clunky
This is a fake image, in case anybody is wondering.
If Marshadow is Electric/Dark I wonder what kind of animal it would be based on?
Speculation would lead us to believe it’ll be a scorpion. But I don’t want the first dark/electric type to be a legendary :I
I don’t see how an Electric type scorpion would work but I like to be surprised. And I agree with your reply. Dark and Electric happen to be in my top 3 favourites and I hate it if the first one is a legendary because I don’t use those
Same. I want it to be something that I can have on my team. I’m sure they could make an electric scorpion work, just look at solgaleo. Steel/psychic don’t seem to fit with a lion
But Solgaleo is based on the green lion in alchemy
I know, but I thought we were talking about species. Like you wouldn’t expect a scorpion to be an electric, just like you wouldn’t expect a lion to be steel.
Quick summary about the leaks TigerMasku gave me:
Marshadow is Electric/Dark
UBs not catchable and function as high difficulty bosses
Starters do have split evolutions, but they’re version exclusive
Rowlet
Sun-Grass/Flying
Moon-Grass/Psychic
Popplio
Sun-Water/Fairy
Moon-Water/Fighting
Litten
Sun-Fire/Dark
Moon-Fire/Poison
18 Trial Captains, one for each typing
Drampa has 2 pre-evolutions
Charizard, Blastoise and gen 4 starters get Z-moves
50 Alola formes, includes Doduo line, Nidoran line, Cloyster and Jynx
Delphox and Chesnaught get a Mega
Jangmo-o final evolution is Dragon/Steel and is based on a Japanese knight
Gen 8 region is based on a country south of the globe
wait….wouldn’t a Japanese Knight be a samurai?
Probably yeah
That’s Samurott
>Gen 8
> No mega greninja
Fake
Z-Greninja would basically be the same as a Mega Greninja though. Ash-Greninja in the anime is actually even superior to Megas.
Forgot to add that Z-Greninja is a event giveaway, edited it now. Maybe refresh

What credibility does this leaker have?
I haven’t read the whole discussion thread, but apparently the guy who leaked this has contacts in Japan or something
So basically…. no credibility at all. Just someone who got attention
Bascially. But it sounds much more plausible than recent crap like Solgaleo and Lunala have a pre-evolution
I dont see drawings
They’re there, look better lol

I wouldn’t mind the starters having two different typings depending on the version you are playing, but would they be different in appearance? Cause, Rockruff evolves into the same type just different appearances.
I would assume there are slight differences in design if they also have different typings depending on version
No.
This doesn’t even sound good FAKE!!!!
South of the globe? As in, not on earth? xD
Going to change my handle and avi. About time I dedicate my account to my alltime favourite Pokemon

It’s like you’ve evolved
I probs wouldn’t know who you are if I hadn’t been here all day lol
Oh no wait who were you

I’ll be your splenda daddy. I can offer words of encouragement whenever you need a pick me up.
Got this off Bulbapedia as well
October 4th info includes: New Ultra Beasts, two new Alola formes and the Dolphin Pokemon.
Type: Null info is exlusive to CoroCoro
The regional fossils look similar to Pineco and Ferroseed
Alola Kingler and Alola Persion will be revealed
Kingler is Water/Fighting
Persian Dark/Normal
Same typing as Alolan Raticate? Hm….that seems off to me. They made a point to make Alolan meowth pure dark.
Why would Alola Persian have a different typing than its pre-evolution?
Also a relevant question. All alolan forms that evolve into another alolan form have had the same typing. I just don’t think alolan persian will be dark/normal.
Ninetales…
Yeah Vulpix is pure Ice and Ninetales part Fairy?
Shit, you’re right. But I still stand by my thoughts!
But isn’t Meowth Dark/Normal or just Dark?
Just dark
Wait let me check again, might be I added the Normal typing myself because of habit lol.
Yes pure Dark. I donno why I added Normal to it lol. My mistake!
Oh, good. It has more credibility now. We’ll have to see it it’s true though
Is Alolan vulpix ice/fairy or just ice?
Ice/Fairy
Vulpix is Ice, Ninetales is Ice/Fairy
Just ice
Alolan Marowak is Ghost/Fire though
I said an Alolan that evolves into another alolan. Cubone doesn’t have an alolan form, although I was already proven wrong with alolan vulpix -> alolan ninetails.
I doubt Kingler because of Crabrawler, 2 fighting type Crustaceans introduced in the same gen seems a bit off to me.

This one makes a little more sense but still what is this tree of lost hope, Zygarde can’t be perfect form unless at 50% health, Hala looks nothing like either of them how does that work?, why a staff for mega stone no characters have used Staffs and it’s not an accessory like others, And WHAT?! WHAT?! They are the Box Legendaries that is why breaks the Numels back they are shown to play a big role how on EARTH are they not the main Legendaries???!!!!!
Probably the big tree on the north-eastern island
Oh ok that one solved but the rest isn’t well said more on who made it in the first place (not you whoever leaked it)
Thankfully that Is a reasonable price I will have 2 day one lol
Earthen going into a meltdown if Mega Rhyperior turns out true
oh don’t push your luck whoever you are
i don’t believe a word of any of these “leaks”
I am Aqualate mate, just changed my avi and username xD
regardless i don’t believe you doppelganger
How can people not choose Sun Version? (rf)

Because of his blue forehead I prefer Lunala. His forehead looks like a touchscreen thats runs on a chargeable battery.

Customisation should include Armour, I want me that shield.
Why do profile pictures get really really blurry on Disqus?
$350 for a console is reasonable. $450… not so much unless it’s gonna last you 9000 years…

I hate that popplio final evo..whats the point of the hair !
because its byooootaful
??
its ugly and creepy
I am not a big fan but it looks pretty.
they fact that its a sea lion with 50% of being male yet looks like freaking woman with weird face make it ugly,I also dont get the stars and croqn thingy, its so weird
Starters have always been 12.5% female…
yeah, I forgot that, that actually make it even worse
But stuff like Meganium and Popplio3 should have opposite ratios.
Not Litten 3. Sorry
how did you know about popplio ? and meganium have gender diference and he doest have hair or obvious gender
Every starter should be 50/50 in my opinion.
I feel the starters should be 50/50 in case in Rockruff’s position that’s their secret then a 50/50 chance in case Moon and sun have different looks for Genders
Delphox and Serperior with 87% female looks feminine too is not a big issue.
delphox doesnt look like female a lot, and serpirior definetly doesnt look like a female, you probabbly think so because Ashs female snivy, but none of these looks like a human woman, and also the design itself is wierd
does not seem like something to be getting mad about
u can’t can’t convince me with that at all they look like damin female.
delphox looks like a female in the game, but the anime and other artwork it just looks like a fox with the a long hair, unlike braxen, but serpirior, I never thought it as a girl, maybe because it looks smooth, but this is another story, this is a sea lion with human charactaristics, hair and hair band and stuff
http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/anime/820/289.jpg
I really think we should cut it with this feminine pokemon bullshit talk, because it’s going to start another fight and more people are going to leave over it.
I think ur gonna make a fight by posting this comment.
Seems to have ended, in my opinion.
It ended before u give ur advise……
Snivy looks like this kid on Lazy Town:
http://statici.behindthevoiceactors.com/behindthevoiceactors/_img/chars/stingy-lazytown-5.52.jpg
Wait a second, do you ever have a youtube animation channel? I recognize your avatar
LOL, yes, but its been a long while since I uploaded something, I’m more active on devient art now :3
omg wow! Small internet huh?
hahah yeah I guess so
ok but on topic, I think it would look weird without the hair (rf)
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/982816ba5609d00b0bfad8a96ec1b7f48a2f77750d972f9a9e3d18da3de64b77.png
It’s based on a mermaid so I think it fits
they could take the stars and the band and just gave it ears, and maybe adjust the hair, there are so many possible ways to make a decent looking sealion, I also dont know why is it based on mermaid when its a sea lion…
If it contains both console and handlend (assuming that it is at this point), then this is a very reasonable price.
Ok, so I’m seeing a bunch of people saying that this price is too high, so let me elaborate a bit so people don’t get confused. If it’s just the console part, then yeah, it’s too much, but if the NX is nintendo’s next handlend and the next console (ooh the NeXt would be a cool name), then think of it this way.
————-
LAUNCH PRICES
3DS – 179.99
Wii U – 349.99
So if it includes both, this is a great price.
It’s 350. Check some older comments
What is? The new price? I mean in USD.
Yeah, the price is 350 USD. Apparently most systems do that so like
350$
350(pound sign)
Hmm. So I guess the handheld will be seperate.
Not necessarily. Since they are being designed with both in mind, they probably share an OS and be developed cheaply
That’s not what I like to hear. I’d rather pay more money for a good console than less for a cheaply made one.
No, that isn’t what I meant. Like, the development of the system costs less, not that it is poorly made
Here’s a question based of Haxford and Natsu’s comments below.
Why are you picking the game you’re picking.
I’m getting Moon because:
> I like the Night Time setting
> Lunaala’s design is better looking to me
> I can’t see myself getting Sun… I just can’t…. (It’s weird… I thought about it after Passimian was revealed, but I couldn’t)

Beautiful.
Pokemon Moon by Eritia-Coli.deviantart.com on @DeviantArt
This has to be one of the coolest images of Lunala!
Absolutely stunning!?
Both, BUT, Sun is my primary game, where I breed and stuff, and here’s why.
– Moon’s nighttime gameplay aspect looks like a ton of fun, so I’ll have moon open to replay rather than having it locked into breeding
– I actually like UB2A better than UB2B
– I want to use midday lycanroc during my first playthough
– I gave my brother first choice and he chose moon
> My boyfriend saw the game names quicker than I did and claimed Moon Version
> After seeing Solgaleo, I didn’t mind because he was my immediate favorite
> I like the version exclusives better so far (Lycanroc, Passimian, Solgaleo and UB2)
> I recently saw that I have always chosen the “first” version (Red, (Heart) Gold, (Omega) Ruby, Diamond, Black and X) and apparently now I am too (but this is just a coincidence)
-I always choose the blue or more blue like game (X, AS, SS, D, White, LG, Sapphire, Yellow)
-I like Lunala’s type and design
-I get to play at night during the day and it’s easier to get Umbreon during the day instead of staying up till dawn trying to boost friendship for it
-Eaiser to get Weavile (that’s all I gotta say to win this Weavile)
Oh yeah, the day/night evolutions should be interesting in this game.
Why don’t you just friendship boost it during the day, press B when it starts evolving into Espeon then level it up at night?
I don’t know I like not using B I have weird problems like that
Well I love playing during night-time In game but the main reason is lunaala. I love that moon bat, so elegant and cryptic.
This seems way too specific to be a placeholder price. I’d like to believe that the NX will be revealed soon, but I am really beginning to lose hype. I doubt I’m the only one who thinks their marketing approach to the NX is foolish.
Of course you aren’t the only one. I was full of hype in august and early september, but at this point I kinda forgot that the announcement was coming soon, and that’s not a good thing coming from a dedicated nintendo fan.
Seeing fan art like this always makes me feel disappointed about the real deal (rf)
http://img02.deviantart.net/907d/i/2016/144/2/9/popplio_s_final_evolution_regalio__by_pixelated_takkun-da3nhfm.jpg
I prefer my mermaid
At this point we just need to expect gimmicky starters. I’m not saying that they’re bad, look at Rowlet 3, I really like that one, but they’re definitely risks.
How are they gimicky?
Let’s look at the pattern.
What were gen 6’s final starter evos? What do they have in common?
Well, they are all assigned to an occupation of sorts.
Chesnaught is a knight, Delphox is a mage, and Greninja is a ninja.
What do the starter leaks have? Occupations (as I like to put it).
Popplio 3 is a mermaid, Rowlet 3 is an archer, and Litten 3 is a wrestler.
Honeslty it’s cool once in a while but I miss the old way they did starters. A bigger and cooler looking version of the first form.
What’s the theme??
It doesn’t necessarily have a theme. Gen 6 was obviously fantasy RPG classes, but I don’t see a clear theme with this one, which makes it worse IMO. It started with Gen 5, but was less apparent.
Wait, I’m confused though. The original 5 didn’t have a theme, you didn’t like gen 6’s theme, why is this a problem?
Ok, clearly we’re on a different page here. xD Forget about an overarching theme. By “gimmicks”, I meant giving the starters jobs, rather than being larger cooler versions of the first form. They made Samurott a samurai, rather than just a cool otter. They made Litten a wrestler, rather than a cool tiger. They made Greninja a ninja, rather than a cool frog. It’s all up to opinion whether you like the direction they’re going in, but it’s obvious that they love assigning jobs to the starters these days. Sorry if that was confusing, got it now? xD
Oh I see what you’re saying. I kinda understand
Yeah, it’s all up to opinion whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it’s definitely there.
I miss starter evolutions like in Gen 1, 3 and 4 (maybe 5). In my opinion they are perfectly executed. In Gen 6 and 7 they just try to follow a theme, which isn’t necessary, and it doesn’t make them look good.
Flippers are too similar to Kyogre, otherwise it’s cool.
When you’re typing a paper and spell execute ‘Exeggcute”
Exeggcute order 66
The exact sentence was, “If kids were not exposed to media from ages 3-8, they would not know what violence is and how to
Exeggcuteexecute it.”That’s a bold claim.
Oh. It’s not my claim. It’s a quote from one of my sources
Lol, still a bold claim, regardless of who it came from.
Yeah it’s one of those things that you could debate for hours and never come up with a solid answer of who’s right. It’s basically one of the discussion topics that I had in my college courses. hahaha It’s more of a topic that is just to get people thinking critically rather than having a real answer lol
Thank Arceus. haha
Unless their mom/dad is abusive.
Sounds like a funner essay than what I’m doing. I’m writing an essay on an essay. What fun.
Do we know if the NX pic below is legit?
It’s fake, I left a comment below to let others know.
Rumors going around about a Dark type Regi
Those rumor mills are really pumping them out today…
I’m not sure what that would add to the lore, other than another Regi weak to fighting type.
Next we’ll get Normal regi. Regibland.
Hopefully the price is lower. A key advantage Nintendo have over his competitors is the pricing of his products.
Nintendo is a he?? 😮
grammatically in this sentence, yes even though the correct grammar should be it
Unless you’re referring to the multiple employees in Nintendo and you use Nintendo as a collective then it is they.
I like grammar
in this case, im using Nintendo as the company, a company is gender neutral so it would be it.
I hate grammar, but most of my paper, grammar have high value of points, so i made sure to learn my grammar
True, but at the same time Nintendo has been putting out under powered consoles as of late. If the console really does rival the Xbone or PS4 in anyway the price will likely be somewhere between $300-$400
while this is true, when a casual buyer reads Nintendo, they would not assume this. If they want to make this product pricey, they better start advertising the power of this console so casual people understand the price.
I’d say a good first start is TO ACTUALLY SHOW OFF THE NX……hahaha sorry for the caps…..Anyway what they need to do is reveal it. Then they can talk it up and make it sound great. Hearing a little bit of this and a little of that from potential 3rd party developers means nothing unless we can actually assess the console with our own eyes lol
Tbh if I didnt buy the Wii U I’d care more about the price of the NX but I feel like Nintendo shafted me. It’s like they half-assed the wii u because all their time secretly went into the NX :/
Exactly…. I can’t even fathom how people can talk about the Wii U and say it’s the best console ever…..It’s not….not by a mile….Granted it had some pleasurable games such as Bayonetta 2 and Splatoon, but over all the system was a failure. It was under powered, had a relatively small selection of games that anyone could call “great”, and forced you to choose to play with one of many awkward controllers…..*sigh*…..I love Nintendo, but this past gen for them was a flop in the grand scheme of things… lol
Yeah I’d honestly have to say my biggest regret wrt buying something is the wii u. I had fun playing on it but if I never had it I wouldnt be phased 🙁
I got it for cheaper as I bought a refurbished one. Otherwise I’d still not have one probably. It says something about a console when you buy it and then touch it very little after the first week. It’s basically become the Netflix machine for my parents as I refuse to move my PS4 into the family room. lol
What if Nintendo just released the NX without ever showing it off? They would probably be confused about why it didn’t sell very well
i would think they would learn from their disastrous marketing from the wii u lol
I’m saying that if they don’t reveal it by December, they’re doomed.
No company would ever do that. That is just asking for the failure of your product.
Breeding 6IV pokemon is a pain in the ass…Hyper training can’t get here soon enough.
you dont have a 6iv ditto?
That sounds like a pain to try and find.
nah somoene here should have one. i got one from here in my XY days
I have a 6iv japanese ditto I got from someone here long time ago, but idk how to clone 🙁
So with Hyper Training could I turn any Ditto into a 6IV one? Am I understanding that correctly?
Yep
That’s great. I saw some edgy douchebag say that they were pissed that all of their hardwork would go to waste now that “people unwilling to put in the work” could get into competitive battling. I was like, really? That’s an extremely selfish viewpoint.
Ian said WHAT?! xD
Lol, not him. xP At least I hope not
Shut the !@#$ up Nick
“What? You can send mail electronically now!? SO YOU’RE SAYING ALL OF MY HARD WORK WRITING WAS WASTED??? “
Exactly! There’s literally no downside to this. Even if it means more “casuals” or whatever stupid name you want to call non-competitive players are getting into it, that still is just a small price to pay for all of the damn time you’ll be saving (although it might also depend on how many bottlecaps we can get)
Still have to get it to Lv 100. Most kids will probably give up before then or not know/care about it. We also don’t know what the bottle cap distribution will be like.
everyone is tricking themselves thinking bottlecaps will be easy and plentiful
I imagine there will be a limited number available to the player, and the rest may be something you have to buy with Battle Points.
i hope like 200 for silver and 500 for gold
Very possible…although 500 seems a bit much. Maybe 100 for silver and 300 for gold. Still steep though.
bah it’s to instantly boost to 6IV
yous gotta pay
500 though…that’s pretty brutal. Perhaps worth it though.
If Bank retains an option to send BP to your game it will be more of an incentive for people to use that. I just hope there’d be good battle facilities if they are indeed for BP.
Battle Frontier please!
YES! GF HEAR OUR CRIES!
I’d say 100 for silver, 250 for gold. Seems fair to me.
50 for bronze? I think there was a bronze right?
I forgot about that one. Yeah, 50 seems fair.
I don’t think there’s a bronze. The silver one only does 1 IV so idk what the bronze would do.
Does it do raise one stat by 1 IV, or raise 1 stat to max?
It maxes it. I suppose there will be a bronze then.
Just seemed weird to me to skip Bronze, perhaps there isn’t one after all :/
Ability Capsules are currently 200 BP, I don’t think the Gold will be over 2x that unless it maxes all IV’s at once, and even then it sounds a bit much.
gold does max IVs
All of them at once? I’d stick to the Silver most of the time then, better to control IV’s I don’t want maxed.
I’m not, which is why I mention it, most people who breed for high IV’s will still benefit from doing so before hyper training comes into it.
Hopefully there’s a blissey base alternative in SM. >.<
If not then maybe some way of getting Rare Candies from the Global Link again.
I know that feeling -_-
I’m really close to that 6IV gible…I just hope it’s also male and has rough skin or I might cry
At least it has 50% chance, I recently bred 3 6IV 12.5% females for someone, I did not enjoy it orz
Jeez, that must’ve taken some time
A week for each, and they had to have their Hidden Abilities too. I did get 9 6IV foreign (to me) Male Pokémon in return so it was worthwhile.
Did you get anything good from them?
I will be using them for the Masuda Method, stuff like Sableye, Eevee, Exeggcute (for Alolan Exeggutor) etc. Also 4 Egg moves on everything so they are also useful for others in their respective egg groups.
I meant them as in the other person lol
Oh, I put that in the comment above, I got 9 6IV foreign (to me) Male Pokémon for all 3.
Oh, yeah, I remember reading that. My bad haha
Why 6? Mixed attacker? I’ve bred over a box of competitve pokemon, and only gotten one 6 IV ever.
Hm..idk. I just want my Garchomp to be the best it can be (and find its destiny). Perhaps it’s just a pride thing, but I’m naming it Ultron so this sucker needs to be flawless.
If it’s not an attacker it’ll be a huge waste of your time (not trying to be mean, just a warning. The 6th IV is completely random. That means for every 5 IV you get, you have a 1/32 chance of getting a 6 IV.
I already have one that’s 5IV, so I am just waiting right now. Maybe I’ll just use the next one without the sp. attack IV though.
Anyone know anything about the media interviews that Masuda and Ohmori are doing in London? First I heard of it was an hour ago when they both Tweeted that they arrived in the city. I imagine it’ll happen tomorrow sometime as it’s super late in England now, but I was unaware of such a thing even happening until now. I wonder if they’ll say anything interesting in it. Hopefully the journalists that go to it ask good questions and not dumb ones hahaha
i am in a voracious mood particularity for sushi
So if you could eat any Water type as sushi would would you go for
None cause Sushi assaults both my tastebuds and my nostrils.
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/248/287/af6.jpg
i dont like sushi
Fight me!
BRING IT ROBO TURD!!!!
Dat hurtz muh feelinz
Gyarados Roll
I think I’d risk trying a Qwilfish, if not Pyukumuku looks quite tasty especially the red bits.?
Ooooo Qwilfish, chefs might have to be licensed to cut those
But they’re poisonous
just the scales
Still…plus pokemon are sentient creatures, I don’t think eating them would be right. Some, like many psychic types, are even smarter than your average human
………this is a problem how?
Wowww bet you’re indifferent to cannibalism too
As long as the meat is totally squeezed of all blood and cooked safely sure wynaut
So are puffer fish you just have to prepare them right. So I assume the same is true for Qwilfish.
Sushi is nasty.
*cracks knuckles*
Oh gee I sure am terrified of this man living hundreds of miles away from me
He is Rhyperior reincarnated in human form
https://youtu.be/bRGxbQcunnU?t=4m28s
Oh Gid you’re getting in a can of Weedle you don’t want to open
lets start off with a ton of Remoraid and Basculin rolls, some Krabby and Crabrawler claws, maybe take a Lotad and grind it into a herbal paste for dippin’, i could slurp down some Huntail Gorebyss unagi, some slabs of Sharpedo, little deep fried salty Wishiwashi, Raw Shellder, Squirtle soup, Froakie legs, maybe some simipour brains and to finish it all off a whole Octillery with a basin of soy sauce
You had me up until Simipour brains.. yuck
look if eating brains was wrong then i don’t want to be right
Not wrong, just not my cup of tea. BTW raw or cooked I might try it cooked.
idk about all that but I’d totally eat a torchic.
i’d go for a TorcFarPsyducken
It seems I’m not the only one here who dislikes sushi. xD
y’all have no taste
i could bankrupt a sushi joint in no time
i dont like it either
I don’t like it either I only really like chicken
i love sushi! my favs either have crab, shrimp, phidadelphia cream or avocado
I am going to a sushi joint for my birthday and the place is all I CAN EAT
and I will not leave until my stomach ruptured
All I can eat places are the best. I need a Greek and Mexican place who offer this
ok im a little jealous. we have a sushi place here but is quite expensive so i only go when is 2×1
Y’all are talking about eating Pokemon. This vegetarian is just cruising through, thinking if I should change my team for Delta Episode and League rematch. Lol
I’m sure Simisage could spare a few leaves.
You can eat the fruit off of Tropius!
I think
Fruit <3
I’m replaying HGSS. This time I’m using sentret due to high reccomendation.
What did you name it? I named mine Patches :3
I only name Nuzlocke and competitive bred Pokemon, so I didn’t name this one.
Am I the only one who doesnt breed anything for S/M? I’m the type of guy who wants to jump in fresh, with absolutely nothing at hand lol.
It wouldn’t even matter. Bank wont be available until February(?)
January I think.
First play throughs I never breed anything. I just go with the flow
Exactly. Just exploring and catch everything you see. Interact with everything and everyone and grind as much as I can
I do like to plan my team beforehand though..but just in terms of what I want to use. I will definitely be catching everything and, who knows, maybe my team could change along the way.
Eh I tried to do that, but except for the starters and Rockruff, I am finding it really hard to plan a team.
Yeah, it’s hard to do before we get a dexleak
I’m starting fresh, but I’ll transfer the old Pokemon in january.
I’m going clean until bank releases
fresh as a lettuce
Gross
Lettuce is yummy, lots of tomatoes and onions with it and a good dressing made with mayonaise. LOVE IT
You salad munching longhair
Salad is good though.
honey mustard salad mmmmm
Short hear but big bushy beard though
Wow. What happened when I was gone with the leaks? I’d like someone to take some screencaps of the leaks and compare it to the information revealed on October 4th. So far, after reading through Bulbapedia, it’s looking similar to the Art Leak and Anon Leak. Just utter false information with no creditable sources. Until I see one similar thing to the leak, I’ll believe it. It seems like it’s just someone who wants there to be two starter evolutions because they dislike the current ones.
Anyways (after that salt), where do you guys stand with the NX? Hybrid or Handheld or Console? Based on the CEO of the Pokemon Company, Ubisoft, Nintendo’s Job Listings, and patients… I’m predicting a handheld and console.
New article, let’s head over there.
I’m Team Moon all the way!
