  1. Has CoroCoro been officially released yet? I’m surprised that we haven’t gotten a worldwide release of the dog or koala.

    Reply
    • Yeah it has, and that’s what I’m wondering too.
      Maybe they don’t want to reveal them yet because of the secret between the starters and Iwanko?

      Reply
    • It’s also possible that they’ll wait until next Monday or something. There are a lot of things they showed during E3 so it’s understandable that they want people to hype that up. Then a bit later when the E3 hype ends we’ll get Iwanko and Nekkoala. Or maybe they’ll wait until that something on the 25th.

  2. I’m ready for my dolphin Pokemon, Eevee’s Dragon-type evolution, and experiencing what could possibly be the greatest Pokemon game ever!

    Reply
  3. I have an idea for when the game releases. Every Friday (or every other, or something else) there should be a battling article where people arrange battles in the comments. It would be even better now with battle royales. I want this to happen because battle spot only allows for three Pokemon and I want to have real battles.

    Reply
    • This probably wouldn’t work for the 18th or the 25th though, as people will still be playing the game. Also I hope we get day 1 bank support so we don’t have the same fiasco as last time.

      Reply
    • If I get hired to be a new writer for the site, I’ll try to make this happen! I feel like there’s a lot of potential for this.

  4. So baby evo’s haven’t been seen in a while, but if we were to get some in S/M what would you all like to see?
    For me I’d love to see the following pokemon get pre-evo’s
    -Lickitung
    -Miltank
    -Pinsir/Heracross
    -Sableye
    -Mawile
    -Lunatone/Solrock

    Reply
      • Thats ok, everyones different, I love them because they are so cute most of the time and its even cooler if they learn moves that the others in their evolution line can’t learn so its kinda neat

        Reply
    • Definitely Maractus. It was one of my favorites from Unova and I think it needs some love. Just picture a single small cactus bulb with a little flower hat!

      Reply
    • Miltank and Tauros could get a shared pre-evo but the others are pretty unnecessary in my opinion. It doesn’t seem like they’ll pull another Gen 4 and do something like this. It would be interesting but not too likely.

      Reply
      • I’m not saying they will, I’m just asking if they ever did, what would people like to see, and you are totes right about Miltank/Tauros

        Reply
        • Well, this shared Miltank/Tauros pre-evo would be pretty nice. As Wes said, Maractus should also get some love but I think they didn’t give it a pre-evo because it would be too similar to Cacnea. Absol should’ve had a baby form from the start but they shouldn’t and probably don’t even want to mess with Pokémon that can Mega Evolve. I also want Shuckle to get some sort of an evolution relative but it’s pretty unlikely at this point. A Mega Shuckle with a large boost to its Attack stat would be so nice. And Delibird needs love too! 😀

          Reply
  5. I want something other than a Dragon-type Pokemon to be the pseudo-legend! I love Dragon-type Pokemon and it’s probably my favorite type along with Ghost and Fairy, but it’s time for a change. 😀

    Reply
  6. Ok so not many are feeling the baby evo’s but what about normal Evolutions to old pokemon? If you had to pick one, I think the most obvious one for me is Heliolisk it just needs an evolution so bad imo, something Electric/Dragon, I mean its in the dragon egg group already and it just feels incomplete to me

    Reply
    • Heliolisk for sure. I had one during my playthrough of XY and it feels too unfinished. And Dunsparce. A big ass dragon 😀

      Reply
      • yessss! I always thought that a dragon/flying or dragon/ground would make a good typing for a dunsparce evo but also a dragon/normal would be pretty unique too

        Reply
        • Lol, both of my toughts. Dragon/Ground or Dragon/Normal would be nice. I don’t know about Flying, it just doesn’t fit in my opinion.

          Reply
          • No probs! 😀
            Fairy would be interesting and it’s not completely unlikely. I do feel like Dunsparce will get a Mega eventually and it will kick ass! 😀

          • one can hope, a branch evolution would be cool too, like two different dragon evo’s with two different secondary tyes

          • That’s a good idea! Make Dunsparce the next Eevee and give all of the evos the primary typing of Dragon. Then I’m all set for my next adventure with 6 Dunsparce in my starting team 😀

      • yes, all good choices, I actually saw two really cool evolutions for zangoose and seviper respectively zangoose had this almost warewolf like look and seviper became this really cool long huge serpent with large fangs and stuff.

        Reply
      • Druddigon should get a Mega instead of an actual evolution. I don’t see where they could take the design without making it too complicated or simply ugly. The Combee thing would be very welcomed too.

        Reply
    • I would have to say Sudowoodo
      I had a BALLER idea for Sudowoodo to evolve into a Treant/Golem
      Where it would nearly triple its height and weight, massive pillar like arms and legs with a back and upper shoulder filled with jagged protruding green spikes and its body would be dark brown with mossy jade patches, it’s antenna would gain its trademark green clubs but it’s hands would sharpen into claws, same for its digitless feet it would have five root like toes in the shape of a star and its dopey face actually grows eyebrows and tusks to show great age
      Since Sudowoodo are surprisingly unable to learn Ancient Power I decided that they could only evolve by trading it with a special held item I personally call a “Mountain Boon”

      These mighty Pokemon are said to spend years not moving, but in heavy rain they retreat to the mountains

      Reply
  7. So if I am going to draw this (or if Blaq shows up) I need a fitting name for this Sudowoodo evo
    Also as the rules dictate Mr. Mime gets one too
    All I got is Treemendous

    Reply
    • or something similar to like a behemoth, I love your pick though haha its a nice play on words.

      Theres also Sodoquoia, because the sequoia tree is the largest tree in the world and going off of how they evolve, bonsley -bonsai are small trees, sodowoodo -I think this is just like sodo-woods like fake woods, idk you’re good with names lol

      Reply
    • Decedar (Deceit + Cedar)
      Dubirch (Dubious + Birch)
      Quasifir (Quasi + Fir)

      Diffferent trees depending on the design you go with. 😉

  8. Btw, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Balint (well, it’s technically Bálint, but you probably can’t spell it with your keyboards :D) and I’m from Hungary. I’ve been here since the announcement of XY, found the site the exact same day. I recently decided that I’d like to be a part of this community because you all seem to be very nice. My favourite Pokémon is Typhlosion and I want it to Mega Evolve this generation so much!
    I don’t know if this introduction post was necessary or not, but I just felt like it so yeah… I hope we’ll get on well 😀

  9. One more little idea
    Do you guys think Pokemon might shatter the boundaries of traditional Legendaries to create a Elder God Pokemon or would they get sued by Lovecraft

      This
      Guest staring in Skylanders
      PS4 HD remake bundle

      Personally I grew up with Spyro, and speaking of which will be the main character of the upcoming Skylanders T.V series which I can only guess will be amazing because Eric Rogers is writing it and he worked on Futurama and Futurama is amazing

  11. I’m kind of glad Simisear is the Least liked Pokemon of All Time. I feel it had 6 6 6 not so hidden in its design. ..

  12. Nintendo is working on a new Mario game and it might be shown at E3 2017. It’s obviously going to be an NX title to push the sales of the system. Nintendo has thought about making a Spin-off Zelda game with Sheik! Lastly, the changes made in Zelda: Breath of the Wind, were spawned from the negativity from Skyward Sword!

    Reply
          • My least favorite from all the ones i played. If it got a 3d treatment i wonder how it would compare?

          • Yay! Also, i didnt hate skyward sword. I really wanted to go back to it becauae i loved the story and characters (Peatrice! <3) but the controls…. I just either couldnt do it right or something but it just halted my playthrough

        • MM is my favourite too, although its more of an obsession really, there was a year where I played it every single night, for the whole year

          Reply
          • ‘Twas my first full Zelda Game
            I borrowed the Collectors bundle from an acquaintance and played it everyday

            Hell I 100%ed it and still just spent hours rolling in termina for no reason

        • I know right? Ghirhim and Vaati were always my favourites and yet we will probably never see either of them again :/

          Reply
          • I couldn’t give a squirt of piss about that elf
            Ghirahim was everything a good hero needs, a villain who gets up in your grill at every step of the way, he reveled in your hard times and wanted to spill your blood at every opportunity, Ganon just was in a window, horseback and on top of a tower and you barely saw him
            But Ghirahim was more, he was calm collected playfully taunting your species and invaded your personal space
            But what I truly love about Ghirahim is he is truly psychotic, breaking down showing his true colors as a sadistic and deranged lunatic who wanted to end you and bring forth darkness

    • Breath of wind is getting So Much hate for it’s art style. When people say the Wii games 10 yrs ago looked better .. I kind of agree. I prefer a more realistic look. Maybe that’s why I go PS4 over other consoles

      • When will the Zelda bashing end, sometimes I want to find these blokes who nitpick the game for stupid reasons and bash them in the schnozzola

        Reply
      • Uh. Where are you getting your responses? People have been praising the artstyle. Hell, the Sony President seriously wants to play the game; he played it at E3. I love the artstyle so far, we have enough realistic looking games.

        Reply
        • Umm.. have you looked at the trailers on YouTube. And read the comments.. people are divided in half.. and it seems the people who hate it are more abundant or just more vocal. Though I don’t think the likes display this.. so they are likely just more vocal.
          My favorite was..
          “Is this for Nintendo 64?”
          “No.. it’s a calculator game.”
          ???
          Sorry. I’m sure its fun

          Reply
          • I typically don’t read Youtube comments. Their useless due to group mockery. People hated the most recent CoD game and it showed in dislikes. So, I would expect the same for Zelda. Obviously, the NX version would look better due to superior hardware. I’m getting the game on the system. Based on the Youtube likes, I think the overall opinion is positive.

      • Very vocal minority. Heck i remember one guy said i was the same as skyward sword (which isnt even close as skyward sword uses alotnof watercolor and pointilism.) Breath of the Wild stole the show at e3 this year.

      • Who honestly cares about graphics though. I’ll take a game with good story, music, and characters over that trivial bullshit any day. It looks fine.

        Reply
          • I just think it’s absolutely ridiculous people value aesthetics over things that actually matter to a good game (not saying that Rece does)

        • I love seeing amazing game graphics or an interesting artstyle such as Zelda. Obviously story, music, and characters make the experience, but in this day and age; a good looking game is important.

          Reply
        • Ok.. that’s a Terrible argument. I’m not picking sides.. it May be a Great Game.. . But to say.. “who cares about graphics”?
          That’s half the purpose of creating new consoles in the first places. Nintendo will never be the strongest console. And other systems Can have Beautiful graphics And amazing game play. I only hear Nintendo folk say this. If you listen to other Console users graphics matter a lot.. especially to computer users. Just not Nintendo fans. But in Every game review I’ve Ever seen.. Graphics are rated and heavily discussed

          Reply
          • Video games are an escape to most, who the heck would want the gross browns and grays of realism over the beautiful and florescent dream scape that is most of nintendos art styles for games, realism has been done 1000 times before, why does it need to be in zelda? nintendo games are unique for that very reason, and to change that would make it the same as every other realistic rpg/adventure game out there, and who honestly wants that? …

          • I’m not solely a “nintendo folk.” I have an Xbox and I would have a PS4 if I wasn’t working minimum wage. However, when I play a game, I play a game. I don’t worry about FPS and realistic lighting. That is not that important in my book. Sure, I want things to look nice, but there comes a point when (if the developers have done their job) I’m so immersed that I don’t really pay attention to graphics.

      • first of all, graphics mean nothing in terms of gameplay, so when people only like a game for graphics alone its a very shallow route to take. Secondly BotW is was extremely well received at E3, the people that don’t like it, like people have said below are a very vocal minority, the art style honestly look lovely and the gameplay more so. I am a PS/Nintendo fan through and through and honestly was very much more impressed by BotW then most of what sony showed, but everyone has different tastes of course

        Reply
        • The people that don’t like it are also the people who probably aren’t actually zelda fans and realize that
          1) Zeldas art style is different almost every game
          2) Zelda games are more than their graphics

          Not saying a zelda fan can’t have an opinion about how it looks, but it’s really not something to bitch about when we’ve had this many installments in the series with varying styles.

          Reply
        • No one ever likes a game just for graphics.. and these people didn’t say they don’t like the game.. just not the graphics and art style. It’s not for everyone. If they went more realistic maybe it would be less divided. Especially because the Wii U isn’t super powerful. If they went more realistic like they did 10 yrs ago on the Wii.. they could of gotten away with more maybe.
          But again. They only dissed the art

          Reply
          • more realistic like on the wii? I hope you don’t mean TP… because that was an extremely sub par zelda game with ugly npcs and a forgettable story/ game

          • Oh yes! TP. If they improved on those graphics more would have liked it. I realize now they are constantly changing the style for fun.. but hey.. it’s just the truth.

          • they just remade TP, doesn’t make it any less gross… the color palette and fog effects in that game were awful… but ok, you’re entitled to your opinion

          • I wasn’t suggesting what you’re thinking. I was just saying that game aimed more for realism.
            If they took a more realistic approach, TP aside, then there would be less fuss over the graphics. It’s just the truth. Not based on what I want.. I don’t care.. just based on the games main complaint thus far.
            This is the Wii U.. and a Completely new game..
            If they designed it as such with realism in mind and dropped anything which still doesn’t work I’m sure it would of been more well received.
            Unless they tried this and it still didn’t look great due to the Wii u’s power

          • Ok, cool, thats fine, I still don’t agree with you that its graphics are a problem but thats ok, it doesn’t matter. Things can be done well with realistic graphics (see Dragon age: Inquisition, The Last of US and even the new Horizon game) but all of the games that do that, have bright popping colours (with the exception of dark the last of us scenes). TP does not, and it never will, and it ages more and more everyday, zelda games with artistic styles age very well. Honestly from my own personal experience most of the people that I have encountered that don’t like a games graphics honestly wouldn’t even play it if it did have realistic graphics, they just don’t like nintendo and like to complain, so nintendo doesn’t need to go out of their way just to create something for people that won’t ever play it anyways. Thats all I have to say, I respectfully disagree, but I will not pursue it further.

      • Hmmm….. To me the game looks like a little bit of realistic and a little bit of cartooney. I don’t know, might just be me but I find that the art seems a bit realistic. Especially the environment. I mean, that water though…..

      • First island = Oahu
        Oahu’s official color is yellow
        Yellow is called MeleMele in Hawaii
        The first island is MeleMele, the Hawaiin term for the official color of the island it was based on

        Reply
    • Nice, but only time will tell. I definitely think its naming theme is colors, but it could also be names after red, green, and blue (cause add that with yellow and you get the original 1st gen games).

      Reply
      • Eh, but colours were used as a naming them in the first gen already,
        And as far as I can tell, DPPt lacked a naming theme (unless you count ‘place names reflect the nature of the place’ as a theme).
        I’m not saying colours are an impossible theme, but I think it’s unlikely.

        Reply
        • I mean, for the islands. It make sense because of what we know of MeleMele. I just think the other colors will reflect the colors of the names of the original games.
          The town naming theme might be something different for all we know. I’m just talking of the island names themselves.

    • I find that this theory will probably be true. But I am wondering what the guardians will be. Maybe a legendary QUARTET!!!!!

  13. After watching the game play, I will say this: I’m leaning more towards Popplio than I am towards Rowlet for Aurora’s journey (Moon version, Cosimo, my Sun version character gets Litten). What do you guys think of Poplin after seeing it during the live play?

    Reply
  14. So with what we know, I feel like I might have an idea on what Sun and Moon’s theme might be (besides the alchemy theory). I feel like it might have to do with spiritual vs physical…. Based on the gameplay we got and the descriptions on the legendaries and even that man made island I have a feeling this is what we’re in for. Anyone agree, disagree, have any other theories?

    Reply
    • I agree, it’s definitely got that feel from what we’ve seen. I can imagine the evil team not believing in the spiritual side and it causes some serious issues.
      I’m trying to think of something else but I can’t think of anything.

  17. Part of me wants to buy a New 3DS…but something tells me that as soon as I buy it, they’ll announce a new handheld :/

    Reply
        • Not to taunt you or anything, but after having it for a while, my brother wanted help on his regular 3ds, and I realized that I could never go back.

          • I sometimes shiny hunt on both my old 3DS and the new 3DS and it’s so weird using my old one cause it’s so small xD so I can definitely feel for you there

          • Lol. I kinda want to get one of the new sun and moon versions because I’ve never had an exclusive printed one, but I don’t really like either of them honestly…Black is boring and I don’t like yellow. Plus I have this tradition where I always get a red version of Nintendo’s handhelds. Also my 3DS dies really easy so that’s just an extra lil push

    • If you already have an existing 3DS/XL, I would just hold off on buying the “New” model unless you really wanna play SNES Virtual Console, Hyrule Warriors Legends, or one of the exclusive titles..

      Reply
      • For me, I have an original 3DS (from when it was first announced/released) so I really felt like I needed an update, considering I’ve had it for a few years. And I don’t really regret it. But then again, I bought it when it first came out so whatever. To each their own, really.

        Reply
        • I don’t think so.

          But regardless of whether the NX is part-handheld, my point still stands. You only get “New” if you need to play exclusives like Xenoblade 3D or you need the best performance on Hyrule Warriors Legends or Smash.

          I’m assuming you already have an existing 3DS/XL that you play Pokemon on.

          EDIT: AH, did you say your 3DS dies easily. Well then, you should replace it, or at least have the techs look at the battery.

          Reply
          • I kinda just want a bigger screen too, to appreciate sun and moons new graphics. So might as well just get the new version of the 3DS if I’m gonna upgrade 😛

          • I prefer Red. All the regular XL’s I’m looking at are more expensive than the “new” XL’s though. Amazon has a new 3DS XL in red for $175, but their regulars are $199

          • Oooh, well good thing there’s a red XL waiting for you, I thought your color won’t be available…

            My favorite color is green, clearly they don’t wanna cater to this yet with the N3DS XL. (There’s a nice Yoshi one for the regular XL.)

          • That may be so but I provide sound evidence that proves it won’t
            While everyone has no evidence

          • Just a zealous update going on and on saying Popplio is a Fairy because of Disarming Voice, and how Fighting Types don’t learn it and blah blah blah we need ore fairies and how it’s based on competitive nothing on design or origin, and claiming the Debunked Images were hacked into the site

            So naturally I had to bring the Hammer down

          • Well if it is fighting it’d probs be a special attacker…which may be kinda cool if they add more special fighting moves. But disarming voice isn’t definitive proof it’s a fairy type. It’s evidence…but not proof

          • Exactly my point
            Nothing boils my blood faster then blind assumption
            And as a gourmet designer I know the insides and outs of the process
            But still i must say I too am not 100% sure it it is or won’t be a fairy, but what I can still say my evidence of it not being one is much stronger than most cases

          • Whatever it is, I just hope it isn’t pure water. It’ll be more attractive to me if it gains another type

    • You were also harassing that user (or at least the user felt harassed,) so his ban of you is justified. To get people to see it your way, maybe you should hold back a bit, y’know. Make the conversation flow smoother. (Heh heh heh.)
