With the slow beta rollouts and previews of the simplistic gameplay, how is the Jungle community feeling about the game that was supposed to bring Pokémon into the real world? Do you still look forward to it or has it just become a ‘meh’ on your radar?
Been thinking about this lately and curious as to where everyone is at. I’d be more than happy to see it succeed and be a really kickass game. Just one more excuse to get out my HYPE HORN.
Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend 🙂

I was never really hyped for it, so no, not really. It’s only gotten worse with the gameplay, in my opinion. Debbie downer over here, I know. 😛
I’m gonna be honest, if we live in a world that was taken by storm by
– flappy bird
– 2048
– neko atsume
pokemon go has more than enough in its arsenal
It will do fine, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t absolute trash just like all those games you listed. Mobile games as a whole are piles of worthless trash that shouldn’t exist.
They’re meant to be convenient and to pass time. The opinion of 2048 I disagree with just because that’s what I mobile game should be. Not a full fledged RPG
Sure and because of that they are trash. And are too often just money grabs by companies.
2048 is garbage. I wish everyone played Threes instead. The real innovator.
Also, Tiny Wings is too hardcore for most people in mobile.
My answer ever since it was first show has been: “this looks/sounds absolutely god awful”. And it is more and more justified with time.
I can admit I was excited at first but now I’m just kinda meh about Go. I’m ready for Pokémon Sun & Moon to release. Also on a side note another franchise I love has another game coming out, monster hunter generations. So the next few months have been eclipsed with more releases that are just simply more interesting than Go at this point. The videos of go show a game play that’s either too simple or simple repetitive for my taste.
Another game should be coming aswell: dragon quest monsters joker 3. Hopefully it won’t be a Japan only release, I really want it
Obviously I’m still hyped up about Pokemon Go. It’s friggin Pokemon in real life!
Really really out of topic, but does anyone have a spare 6IV ditto?
Dude I told you nobody here has one, go to Showdown and go to the lobby chat, there are tons of people there and you’re bound to find a guy who clones them
Wifi chat*

Get a Powersave dude!
powersave?
It’s a hacking device that you can use to create perfect IV’d Pokemon. You can probably find it fairly cheap on Amazon.
I have ONE. I would clone it but I can’t because my internet isn’t fast enough to update my PowerSave.
If you want one I could gen one for you but you seemed to not want a hacked one. It would look legit according to the games and you only need it for breeding so… *shrug*. Up to you though.
reddit r/breedingdittos man that’s where i got one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BreedingDittos/
It’s hax, they said it so themselves
It might be interesting to see, but i need a better phone for it, no gyro on my current one… it’s an older model G3…
Honestly, I feel like the more we earn about it the worst it looks : /
I’ve been doing a ton of shiny hunting lately! Ive gotten 4 shinies in the last week, if you want to see what I’ve been doing theres a link here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qSPyexw1tJ_h9nOGyMjQVC1vFQfzwdDpq_DTnXCsTE8/edit?usp=sharing
I’d love to hunt in your safari if you’d like!
Ayyy you have my safari but no shiny lol, dont know why youd hunt in my safari. My pokemon are trash (Im huntark)
Just got illumise in yours! I’m actually a big fan of it!
A shiny illumise?
Yep! named her amber
Kill it with a rock
It’s a bug type, not a fairy type. <3
People bitched that it wasn’t a fairy
Ergo kill it with a rock
Well if I bitched about Rhyperior not being a fairy would you kill it with a rock? … … … Didn’t think so. <3
No because it isn’t a fairy
Ergo I should kill YOU with a rock
Well neither is illumise, so by your last reply, you should be killing all the people bitching that Illumise wasn’t a fairy with a rock, not (an) Illumise.
Less bitches to deal with >:D

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Whether or not it allows me to transfer the pokemon I catch in it to the main games, makes all the difference for me between totally awesome and totally suck. ♥
Doubt you will be able to transfer them over, but eh who knows.
You can already transfer all 151 from R/B/Y so I think it would be a bit redundant.
Except, I’m kinda a collector of sorts. And as a spin off game, Pokemon Go does NOT interest me by itself. However, I’d get it if I could add another Mewtwo to my collection (and it’d be unique as in it came from a different game title even if there’s nothing special about it). Even though I already have more than 15 of them (I don’t reset games to get infinite legendaries). But if I can’t take it with me outside of the spinoff title, then all the effort to get it would seem in vain to me… Same is the reason why I bought pokemon dream radar. ♥
I kind of agree. The spinoff games don’t interest me unless they have something to offer for the main games.
Well that’s basically it. Except I played and enjoyed the mystery dungeon games, cause they’re so intricate. But the most recent two games have not held nearly as much reply value or been as much fun after beating the game that the first two did, so I’m starting to like those less as well. Even though SMD has tons of missions, and lots of pokemon and legendaries, I HATE a lot of the mechanics. ♥
Well that’s fair… I got Dream Radar only because of the legends… 😉
me too. though I got me two copies – one on each system. twice the legends! ♥
Sun/Moon info comes out during first exam week… then additional info comes out during the last week of exam where we do core exams… BUT… JUST TWO MORE WEEKS! I’LL PULL THROUG- *drops down dead*
I just got Wind Waker (the GameCube one), Banjo-Kazooie and Crash Bandicoot from my favorite games store. I already have Wind Waker HD but I have such strong memories playing the original with friends in my childhood. That will be a good throwback game 😛 Banjo-Kazooie is a game I’ve heard about for many years and always wanted to own, so that will be a blast. And I played the Crash Bandicoot minigame in Uncharted 4 which just made me crave more XD
YOU BOUGHT BANJO KAZOOIE!?!? 😀
Omgomgomg you will love it, the worlds, the music and the characters
But the very second you finish it I highly recommend finding Banjo Tooie which is like tenfold good
Yup, I’ll be getting Banjo Tooie as soon as possible 😀 I’ve been listening to Banjo music for years, and I know that Rare games are very special.
SPREAD THE JOY!!!!!!
It seems that Banjo-Kazooie and Yooka-Laylee are the only times you aren’t an internet jerk. What if Yooka is revealed as a Fai-
Honestly, I never cared for Banjo-Kazooie because the main character designs are atrocious. I’m way more interested in the new duo because they look way more interesting.
THOU SHALT NOT DISRESPECT THE BEAR AND BIRD
YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR SINS!!!!!!!!
I’ll play the Banjo-Kazooie games (other than Nuts and Bolts) if there is a mod that replaces the main characters with Yooka and Laylee. <3
You shallow bunt cake, The Bear and Bird are legendary icons
And not for nothing their design truly paints passion into their personalities
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/7/71/Banjo_and_Kazooie.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140120013447
Also in Yooka-Laylee there WILL be a special N64 Shader that recreates the lost art of polygons
Banjo’s a bear? He looks more like Pluto or even DK than Baloo.
Well he is a Brown Bear, the reason why he looks like this is it was a sorta mishmash of Project Dreams Derpy Dog Companion and a bear that would eventually be Banjo
Besides that face is aorbs, you just know he’s a nice guy
Kazooie in the other hand is a universal jerk with cheeky comments on literally every character
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cb2KdY_W8AUPP9-.jpg
Have you played any of the Kinect Sports, or Nuts and Bolts? 😉 You might agree that those no longer have the Rare magic.
Nuts and Bolts isn’t as overrated as some say
Yes it was completely rehauled and different but that’s only because Microsoft bought rare and left it to rot
But nonetheless I enjoy building vehicles and the challenges
Hell I even 100% it with all TTs in dedication to 100%ing all Banjo Kazooie games
I have it on XBLA. Screw the ice world. Seriously. Screw the ice world. The freaking snowmen ruin the whole level. Plus they are so hard to kill with the flying mechanics.
Other than that it is pretty good. Stil need to get around to BEATING THE ICE WORLD
You kidding it’s so easy,
https://youtu.be/dEv-_V2M1oE
Ummmm There’s Conkers Bad Fur Day, that one is awesome if you don’t mind crude humor. And Star Force Gemini is a good one, Miss Pack-man, and Glover, Which is O.K but really frustrating at times. But I can’t remember if the last few I listed were RARE games. 🙂 I totally adore Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, they are my top fave N64/RARE games
You kidding if you can find a copy of Conker’s Bad Fur day hold on it for dear life
LOVE Wind Waker. It’s my first Zelda game and the game overall is just great.
Nope. Don’t care.
What I want in the new games. ..:
Flying Gem
To be able to do whatever Ash does with Greninja
Better fairy attacks
Harder Game
Good amount of new Pokemon, All well made stat wise
Pokemon Amie to cone back or something similar
Pokemon following you (doubt it)
Strong Rival
Good Story
All Starter Mega’s
More support for Unevoled Pokemon (Attack eviolite)
Different ways to battle online (sky battles)
– Gems other than Normal aren’t coming back
? Anime only (for now) but I’m not sure how it’d work in the games… surprise me GF.
– Moonblast actually needs a nerf to be in line with other similar attacks like Ice Beam. What we really need is better distribution of Play Rough.
– We can inflict difficulty on ourselves anyway.
+ There’d better be more new ones than Kalos added
+ I’d be disappointed if they cut any feature, including Amie
+ It’d be cool, and now actually fairly possible because there’s no more “deformed” overworld models vs. “realistic” combat models, there’s only one model for both, now.
+ That’d be good.
+ I doubt they can top BW1 but I’d love to be surprised.
+ Well I guess they won’t have megas for Gen 7 ones though.
? There are some Pokemon that need pre-evos like Sneasel, Scyther and Gligar to make them more in-line with Little Cup. I don’t agree with an attack/spA eviolite though.
? I’d want 6on6 singles at least.
I wish the game would give us the option for difficulty at least. When I have to implement my own rules to make the game interesting on any run other than my first, I know it’s too easy. Give us a good medium and give us options (they did it once anyway, so why not now?).
My guess is they didn’t wanna allot dev/balancing time/money to do a new challenge mode for the initial release of XY. Though I would’ve expected it if a “Z” came out, since it’s easier to rebalance it for a hard difficulty once fans have gotten their hands on the original and they can get feedback.
Not just challenge mode b2ww did challenge mode amazing but they forgot one key feature to make it perfect.
Challenge mode accessibility from the start! The whole challenge mode after you beat the game was sooooo pointless and lame
Plus, I had white 2, so I never got it.
A harder difficulty wouldn’t work, and sometimes people don’t like doing things like nuzlockes.
*wouldn’t hurt
True, though simply turning off Exp. Share would already increase the difficulty.
This is the last natural way to increase difficulty, though. The rest are self-imposed like Nuzlocke rules.
There are difficulty house rules that don’t go as far as being an outright Nuzlocke, though, it’s not like it’s “Nuzlocke or bust”.
Slightly easier house rules may include one or more of the following: catching restrictions (basically Nuzlocke with no permadeath), level limit before gyms, starter only, no Megas, no final form evos, etc.
-why cant the other gems come back? What exactly is stopping them? (is it because it wasnt in previous games because that can change)
– i dont really think moonblast needs a nerf maybe if it became a tm that literally hundreds of pokemon can know like ice beam and etc. Then yes i can see it, but only 18 pokemon can learn it naturally
– i do agree with this one, but challenge mode would always be nice
Sorry if i come off as just trying to start an arguement, but i just didnt agree with the points/reasoning.
– Non-normal gems were removed for balance and metagame health reasons. They already noted that Gen 5’s metagame particularly in VGC was dominated by Pokemon surprising what would normally be their counters with a gem-boosted hidden power. This also explains hidden power’s cap in BP to 60.
– Moonblast is 95, “the rest” of the “beams” are 90. If that isn’t an imbalance, I don’t know what is. And Fairy-type attacks don’t even have the excuse of poor coverage like Psychic does.
– As for difficulty, well I already covered it below.
-Ok i never knew that i was just wondering
– but like i said moonblast isnt even on the same level as the other beam moves. If a lot of pokemon could learn it a nerf would be fine.
Honestly I just hope they stop centering their design around children whose attention span is shorter than X and Y’s post game. Seriously Gamefreak. The kids who get bored durimg a Pokemon game is not going to buy the next one no matter what you do. Honestly a lot of my problems with ORAS can be summed up to this
But thats their main audience and target audience. Its like telling teachers to stop focusing on the kids and focus on their parents. Sure the parents are very important but if the kids are happy then thats all that matters. (idk if thats a good analogy lol i tried)
Earthen’s list of demands
Only new Pokemon until post game (and if i hear one word…)
Unique type combos (Ground/Fighting and Grass/Fire)
throw a rock at that “Rival” he looks too upbeat and thick headed
PSS, Amie and Supertraining a absolute MUST
An inclusion of a “underground” type of minigame
Secret Bases
And Blissey Bases
And Move Tutors (with new attacks)
Horde Battles
And that’s pretty much it, I don’t need much
Sure yeah, why not? This is a new type of game for Pokémon, I’d want to try it.
My nuzlocke is going okay. I just beat Tate and Liza but lost a Banette and Pelipper in the process RIP
I don’t think I could ever do that. Do you have to be super careful when training them?
kinda. I just go back to the pokecenter often.
I lost like three pokemon while training because of flinch and crits though so that sucked.
I feel like this would take forever. Do you plan on using the legendaries?
Nope no legends.
Also I’m using an emulator so I have speed up.
Ah, I’m not overly familiar with the rules. But the emulator does seem like a good way to balance the extra time
Yep. I’ll be moving on to Platinum next but I can’t use a DS emulator so grinding will be hell.
I don’t expect to complete that one either way.
O god Cynthia will be so hard..
I doubt I’ll even make it that far.
I’ll probably lose to Fantina.
Better pray you run into a dark type
Heyy i am doing a platinum nuzlocke right now, i always lose to fantina so i probably wont be getting far lol
Lol. Tata and Liza wrecked me so many times….on normal gameplay, let alone a Nuzlocle
I honestly don’t understand how so many people had issues with Liza and Tate, I beat them on my first try when I was a kid,
But Emerald is a different story
I only had trouble because I was stupid and didn’t anticipate Lunatone Solrock having such high Sp. Def.
In Emerald I don’t think I would’ve got past the at all honestly Emerald Tate and Liza is one of the hardest gym leader(s) battle in the entire series.
Anyone want me to hunt in their safari?
Hmmmm if memory serves me right
Phanpy, Dugtrio or Nincada, Gastrodon West
And honestly they’re not the most creative shinies
That sounds pretty good to me! I’d be happy with any of those, except maybe dugtrio.
So apparently they’re holding a special event in Nintendo NY, the first 500 people in line will be able to play Zelda Wii U for a E3 thingy
Between June 9-14
Honestly I want to go but even with the Pokemon day was absolute hell it took 6 hours to get in and honestly it wasn’t worth it (But I was in a group interview for Twitch)
So unless I can squat days in advance to secure a spot which I can’t so I’ll miss it
http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-ny-hosting-zelda-extravaganza-next-month-500-fans-can-play-zelda-wii-u/
Anyone have a smoke ball I could use?
You might be able to find them on Koffing and Spiritomb
Thanks for the tip!
Put a Pokemon with Compound Eyes in the front of your party to increase held item encounter chance.
Then go to fiery path and lure a horde of Koffing OR only
The Beta invites have started to be sent out and there are some new screenshot released. Here’s a few.
Hey can anyone tell me if roserade, luxray, floatzel, and volcarona are good competitively? Based on stats i think they are but I’m not completely sure
Roserade only so far with crap defense
Luxray shit, outclassed by Mega Manetric
Floatzel even worse, don’t even bother
Volcorona literally the only decent out of the list, Quiver Dance and your good watch out for Stealth Rock
Probably shouldn’t compare a non-Mega to a Mega though. I think a more apt comparison is Electivire, which is better but still not decent, or Jolteon, which is way better and faster, but does Special Attack instead.
Roserade is pretty good, especially because of how common fairies have become. I prefer an all offensive, speedy set with giga drain and sludge bomb at least. HP fire too.
Volcarona is scary good but you really have to watch out for stealth rocks. Volcarona is one of those Pokemon that I would only recommend to skilled players. If you’re new you may have a hard time utilizing it.
The other two are subpar, I don’t have much competitive knowledge about them. I’d choice band Floatzel and Scarf the Luxray.
Roserade is pretty good, Nice Special Wall bad defense
Luxray is not very good, very situational it also has low speed so I would say it’s bad
Floatzel is pretty bad, it doesn’t do much and gets outclassed by azumarill
Volaronca is very good, and if you get a quiver dance up it can sweep
