My friend Aaron and I stopped by the MEGA TOKYO Pokémon Center in Ikebukuro, which some of you know because I tweeted out pictures while I was there, and he made a video of our trip. If you’d like a virtual stroll through the store check out the above video! I’m the gay guy with the red bag 🙂

Hey, have any of you heard of a fangame called pokemon ethereal gates? They just released a demo and it’s fantastic!
I heard about that on Twitter. It looks really good.
It was probably all of my retwteets.
You don’t have Twitter.
I literally talk to you everyday… Was our friendship fake? ;-;
What’s your username?
…
???
Check your DMs.
YES I DIDNT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BUT I WAS WITH THE GAME SINCE DAY ONE AND ITS BEAUTIFUL
SAME HONESTLY
I’m actually playing the demo now lol It’s quite interesting and I actually find it more fun than most fan games or roms out there.
it’s looks cool ….. how many gym inside of it ?
I’ve gotta say though. I thought OU teams had little variety http://i.imgur.com/ZqjqbxH.png
Hopefully they’re going to make some new nerfs and buffs. I mean, seriously.
Lol buffs and nerfs in pokemon..
People complaining about all of the same Pokemon obviously haven’t realized that most of them had incredibly diverse movesets. (Ex Skill Swap Cresselia)
People realise that, but we can still ask for a bit more diversity and originality from these players that are supposed to be world class.
I wanted to see something like last years Pachirisu….just for a bit of fun.
But then again it is competitive and everyone wants to win so why not go for the tried and tested…
The full column of Lando T going down lol. Originality.
It’s pathetic.
Hm Surprising to see little Syveon action, but I still like it
Sylveon is fat so it’s actually a really popular alternative to Gardevoir.
Disgraceful where’s the love
I think you guys need to remember that the point IS NOT to be unique, the point is to have fun and try to win, so if they like using those pokemon to try to win so be it, some pokemon are really good, and used by many. Cases like these happens in every game. No need to be mad over it, or think that it’s shameful. You all may just be looking too deep into it, it’s how you use pokemon, most of these pokemon had different sets, so it’s not like each pokemon was used the same way every time. The battles are the main star at wcs not the pokemon used in it,
I agree that the people participating want to win so it makes sense to use these Pokemon….but it does make it boring for those watching…
Yeah but it gets kinda frustrating seeing the same pokemon over and over. Pacharisu ended up being amazing last year so experimenting with different pokemon can really be beneficial
I’d rather lose using a unique team than won using the same team all my opponents used.
Being unique is the better goal, it was just the same overused crap that they use because they want to win, in tournament like situations having fun is not a option it’s to effing win then why bother risk somebody being better then you
In other words I found the whole display just nothing but overused legends and broken Megas
721 pokemon and you see about 10.
Pokemon is about experimenting with the wide variety of pokemon,items,movesets..
If you win using the same pokemon as your opponent, then you aren’t really a better player you just got lucky
It’s called Over Used for a reason.
What do you all expect October CoroCoro to reveal anyway?
I doubt a new game per say, maybe more info on Blobby and Shadowy
Zyblob, Mega Zygarde and, if we’re lucky, a hint about the next games.
Btw, forgot to say! I’m actually Goomy! I’d have an avatar, but disqus is being a butt
GOOMY!!!!!!!
ME!!!!!!
I thought I banned you.
Nice to see you, too
81 comment in half an hour!!! …..wat happening here ?
Worlds brought everyone back
Mass disappointment but Worlds are happening in San Francisco next year 😀
Life is returning to Pokejungle after 3000 years.
Only to die again until Super Mystery Dungeon releases. Then to die again until Z is announced. Then die again, rinse and repeat
It will probably die tomorrow until CoroCoro, honestly.
Let’s hope it stays alive lol.
I’ve been here since XY and if it doesn’t die, I will be honestly amazed
People saw a glimpse of my sexy body.
wat ?
These wide-spread moves are getting a lot weaker with Aegislash getting more use. Hopefully by then more Pokemon get use!
You can just call me “stalker” now I guess.
Stalkerrrr
Bitchhh
So I’ve got 15 days of school to get through until CoroCoro arrives. That’s actually not too hard…I hope…
BUT THIS PIKACHU CUP IS TURNING AROUND ON ME IN A BAD WAY.
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR ELECTIVIRE.
Is it getting hard?
A little bit.
I made this a month ago. Posted it on reddit but I think you guys will like this. Pallet Town in Unity2D http://imgur.com/k76WuAB
I’m just happy I found out Shady’s last name. <3
Okay, random question : Which one do you like the most between Purugly/Skuntank, Ludicolo/Shiftry, Mismagius/Honchkrow, Whimsicott/Lilligant? And why?
Skuntakn, Ludicolo, Honchkrow, and Whimsicott. No real reason in particular. I just like the way they look lol
#Twinning
Skunktank because I had diamond, and Skunktank looks pretty cool
Ludicolo because its so optimistic and it’s the only released pokemon that shares two starter types
Honchkrow because again I had diamond and it’s THE BOSS
Whimsicott because I had Black, and it s great in battle and part fairy
Purugly – Defiant, Fast, Fake Out
Ludicolo – Swift Swim
Honckrow – Strong, Moxie, Sucker Punch
Lilligant – Quiver Dance, Petal Dance, Own Tempo
It’s surprising how fast Purugly is for.. it’s size
Youd be surprised how fast fat people could muster in a pinch
I like them all.
Skuntank because it’s Poison/Dark and has a cool haircut.
Shiftry because I just prefer the Seedot line. Also, I’ve had this Shiftry EX card for ages that I love, which kind of influences my decision.
Honchkrow because it’s a really cool design and very under-appreciated. We need a Mega Honchkrow.
Whimsicott, because it’s Grass/Fairy and I like the design concept.
Purugly, because I love the Glameow line, and Commander Mars was my favorite!
Shiftry, because Ruby was the first time I ever saw a Seedot and I fell in love with it.
Mismagius, because I loved it in Pearl, and it was a part of my original team.
Lilligant, because it was the first competitive Pokemon I ever trained in Black.
Skuntank: It looks cooler and it’s Poison/Dark. No Psychic weakness.
Shiftry: It’s just better than Ludicolo in my opinion. In OR/AS it learns better moves than Ludicolo.
Honchkrow: One word: Moxie.
Lilligant: Because Quiver Dance.
Skuntank
Shiftry
Honchkrow
Whimsicott

Yeah shit could’ve gotten very bad very quickly if they had been able to get in……..wtf is wrong with America? I love living here, but it’s funny how the only country that says there’s a gun problem is also the only country where it happens….a lot………It’s not like we’re in a war torn country or anything……can someone tell me y we as civilians need guns?
People say to “defend themselves” others say “if we remove it, it will violate second amendment” maybe even both, I still think we should ban guns still
The second amendment is out dated by 200 years……somehting needs to change…….
To protect yourselves from criminals…apparently.
That’s some bullshit tho……
Lol…not my country or my laws. I think being able to carry guns is ok. Its always a good skill to to able to operate a firearm.
However with laws as relaxed as they are appear to be America…you know something is definitly wrong.
Where do u live? The problem with people that believe in gun rights in America is that they think it’s a right(which it shouldn’t b in my opinion) rather than a privilege. The responsibility that someone holds when owning a gun is lost and then shit like this happens or even worse……
UK. And honestly I’m not sure about the gun laws in this country. I think it’s very very limited.
Like I said some stricter laws would go a long way. But the problem is it’s very hard to change a law that’s been around for ages, especially considering the amount of weapons that are already out there.
Maybe some kind of monitoring…but then people will complain about privacy and call foul on their so called ‘rights’.
Even tho I’m not from the UK I think ur gun laws r pretty strict from what I remember. Ur right tho, changing laws that have been around for a long time is hard, but that doesn’t make the need to change them any less important. Americans r hard headed, ignorant, and can at times assholes and I think that’s a large part of the problem sometimes lol
No. The problem is gun black markets. The only times we have gun issues is when they’re illegally obtained without a permit, like in the article. There’s nothing wrong with owning a gun. You can take away guns from everyone, but if someone wants to do harm, they’re going to find a way to get one somehow.
Lets just say there r many problems that lead to this type of situation. lol
It’s easy. Everyone has a gun. To defend myself from maniacs with a gun, the only thing I can do is getting a gun. See the problem?
Oy……lol
Shame, just really pathetic people
So that’s what that was I saw on Twitter.
This man Shady trolled us hard at the end. About to walk off then he’s like “wait!”. I got so excited….sigh…
I haven’t been able to watch, can you let me know what happened?
from first look i thought u mean me .
My soul was broken…..I had resolve…..and he broke it so easily…..hahaha
Exactly.
Did you like seeing shady all dressed up 😉
Yup.
Did you get his last name, maybe you could find it and stalk him on Facebook… Just sayingg
I did find his Facebook. He has so many cute pictures. It was actually the third thing that popped up when I typed his first name in.
Lol I guess I should’ve known you would already know what to do 😛
He’s adorable and bearded. Of course I would do that first thing!
I didn’t realize we had so many people ignorant about laws on here. Anything I see here that’s political, you’re banned. It’s not PolitiJungle.
Fair enough
So many people are just spamming Masuda and Pokemon’s Twitter about the new game. This isn’t going to stop until they let the cat out of the bag. It’s a good idea since it’s very direct to the company, but I’m just worried that there will still be months until something concrete comes up ;_;
The deciding factor is whether they will keep the upcoming movies and the new game separate for a while. I hope that they’ll get fed up and just release the information we want around CoroCoro. Game Freak is a very odd yet calculated company, though, so they probably have a more sinister plot.
Plot twist:”We’re not going to announce the game until people quit bugging us about it lololololol”
Not just Masuda’s.
They’re spamming all of GameFreak’s employee accounts, every Pokemon Company account from around the world, and all Nintendo Country accounts.
It’s just ignorant 12-year-olds being ignorant 12-year-olds. They don’t understand how much work they’ve been putting into their current games, and that these games will change Pokémon forever.
It’s best to leave them alone before they start to cry and their diapers soil.
Well my point is, this could lead to a sort of transition of many fans away from Pokemon due to lack of communication. At least that’s what I think they would fear. I just see this getting a lot worse as time goes on.
As the developers, they don’t have to respond to any comments made about them or their games. They should release what they want when they want to, which is precisely what they’re doing now. As for the part with people leaving, that’s just impatient people not enjoying the games they have now. Pokémon still has millions of fans. If you don’t enjoy it you can try out all of the other games out there in my opinion.
People are just rude and ignorant. It’s not like is the first time we had to wait more than one year for a new game.
It’s just the first time in the last third of Pokemon’s existence. I have a feeling that we’re all going to be in for a treat when the game comes around next year.
I’d just ignore them. Were getting information about Zygarde’s New Forme/Mega and the green blob around September. A game reveal is inevitable!
>People complain that they don’t want Pokemon to fall into the yearly-release trap
>People complaining that we have yet to get any news
I still love you guys tho
You can’t have my love ;-;
I caught you in a horde
I really need to get back into battling. It pisses me off though that I can’t get Pokémon to do what I want them to, like being able to take and throw a hit. I wish I was like the competitors in these tournaments. ;-;
Same. Battling seems so much funnnn but I REALLY want to complete my living dex and hunt for more shiny pokemon first. IDK what to do D:
I’m way too lazy to complete the pokédex oops.
Yoooo did you start watching SU?
? We are the Crystal Gems! ?
Haven’t been seeing a lot of Super Mystery Dungeon hype at all. The Mystery Dungeon series is by far my favourite spin off, and sometimes it matches the main series games in terms of quality imo. Super Mystery Dungeon will be 1.8 gigabytes in size, which is very promising. It and Pokken will be more than enough to keep me busy while waiting for the next main series game.
That’s because a lot of the advertisement is been only Japanese at this moment. Also, everything that can be talked about has been talked about.
Don’t worry, there are still quite allot of people excited for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Especially since PSMD seems to follow the footsteps of the first two games. Personally, I am pretty freaking hyped for this as well =). Explorers of Sky is among my favorite games of all time and PSMD seems to be a good addition to the PMD franchise =D.
I agree 😀 Hopefully it’s better than Gates to Infinity.
I know this is unrelated to Pokemon. Yet, Dragon Quest XI is scheduled to release before May of 2017. So, could that potential mean the the NX will be releasing around the winter of 2016 or 2017. My best bet is 2017. Also, even thought Square Enix is considering bring the game to the NX. It’s obvious that they have a Dev Kit for the system with the recent yearning to port Final Fantasy 14 and Dragon Quest X to the system.
I would love to see XBox and PS games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest come to the Wii U! That would definitely get Nintendo in on the “console wars” to those who don’t think they’re already in it!
Well, yea. Still, this is why I bought a PS4 and Wii U. I got a Wii U for the Nintendo Exclusive and PS4 to play third-party titles.
I hope the NX is better than what we’ve previously got…….the PS4 and Xbone r much much better than the Wii U. People can try and defend Nintendo by saying that graphics don’t make a game good, but if u can have both great graphics and a great story y not do both then? There r plenty of Nintendo games that could b much better than they already r if Nintendo stopped putzing around and released decent hardware to match their many good games. I still dream of a Nintendo handheld that has an LED HD screen………..excuse me my mouth is drooling……..lol
I’m honestly sick of Nintendo ‘s bullshit.
Nintendo tried to do the same thing with the wiiu they did with the wii,introduce a gimmick and hope casuals buy it.
When Nintendo realized that their startegy wasn’t working,they go and focus all of their efforts to get people to buy amiibo, then they give a terrible e3 and abandon the wiiu.
The NX can easily put Nintendo back on track,
Just release a console with the same capabilities as ps4 and xbox one, attract 3rd parties and use their goddamn ips properly
And I predict that with a new game undoubtedly coming out next year, we could see our first open-world Pokemon RPG on the NX in 2017.
I doubt we will ever see a console Pokemon Game. Mostly, due to what Masuda said. I would love to see a reboot or continuation of the Shadow Pokemon Games or a new Stadium.
Nintendo is already preparing for the NX. The Mario Team is working on a new game, Retro Studios have not unveiled their new project, Metroid Prime developer said the next true game will be on the NX, and Monolith Soft is starting to work on the next “Xeno” game. They even did a survey for what fans would want in the title (The Next Xeno Game). So, Nintendo is starting to push the NX. I feel like 2016 will be the transitional year from the Wii U to the NX.
Here’s Masuda’s quote:
“I don’t think so. I think the Pokemon core series is always going to be with handheld hardware, in the future as well. I consider handheld hardware you can carry around with you as almost being equal to being with Pokemon, always. I think handheld really matches the idea of Pokemon that we have. Also, you can communicate and transfer data all the time, whenever you want with a handheld. That’s also a match with the Pokemon concept.”
Was never actually aware of this quote from Masuda. Very interesting. But we do know that GF are best at giving us what we least expect, so you never know. He could just be firing this down for a larger reveal in the future. However, I do agree that the home of Pokemon really stays within the handhelds, which I’m perfectly okay with. As long as Pokemon continues to be innovative and expand (Mega Evolution, 3D overworld, etc.) it’s fine on whatever console. But when the Pokemon titles start running out of ideas in terms of what to add to the battling or overworld experience, I think that would be a perfect time to expand more into the RPG genre and take some things away from Xenoblade, for example. Whether a future change may include console porting/cross-compatibility may lie in the hands of what the fans want, or what the series really needs. There’s only so much a handheld is capable of, and when new ideas run out, the next highest step is really the only option. But so far, Pokemon is keeping a steady pace with introducing new ideas, and I’m sure the year gap between ORAS and a new release is for the better. We got a 3D environment and Mega Evolution in XY, but ORAS only really took those introduced aspects and really added nothing more to it. I’m sure that our next game, whether it be Pokemon Z, X2/Y2, whatever, will definitely take what we’ve gotten at the start of the generation and expand on it.
An open-world pokemon RPG does not HAVE to be a main game.
I want them to continue the main games as they are on handhelds, with new fresh mechanins,and also develop full fledged open world pokemon games on consoles
Explain how an open-world Pokemon game would work. It would be difficult to involve a lot of stuff. It would take a large amount of planning; yet, I think if they wanted to do an open world game… It would be on a handheld. Also, what else would you call a Pokemon Open World game with it’s same RPG elements. It would be a main series game. (Unless it uses some different concept).
I’m just so happy everyone stayed safe today. That was a very nerve-wrecking worlds, and I’m so excited for next year!
Ok the Maison is plain BS. I used High Jump Kick thrice and missed. Thrice. If that isn’t hax, Idk what is.
I’m pretty sure everyone here has heard about the two guys trying to kill everyonw at worlds thing. ..
But what I dont understand is why these guys went through the trouble of getting to worlds in the First place,and who in their right mind would post threats with pictures of guns on facbook?
Did they just want attention?
This whole predicament is literally blowing up and causing so many differed reactions.
On the one side people are like “well all of the participants are old fat men anyways.”
On the other side people are like “there are thousands of children in there! They deserve their safety!”
The first one pisses me off a lot. Not everyone who plays Pokémon is your stereotypical fat ugly man that still lives with his mom. Older Pokémon players usually have jobs and someone to share their life with. Some people are just so ignorant.
