  1. Did we ever get confirmation on who made Magearna and why? Cuz I just had a thought. What if AZ commissioned it to me made as an attempt to replace Floette? I dont really have any evidence for this theory, just a thought.

    • ……Bye. Why can’t I choose a multitude of movies?!
      Nah, serious, it’s Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s one movie I can watch multiple times and not get bored and enjoy it. (there are some others but NBC beats it).

      • Jurassic Park is mine. I can literally watch it everyday. When I’m in a foul mood I turn that on and I’m grand after haha. I also love Jurassic world as its the sequel that the original film deserves 🙂

      • Man, the older (like late 80s and 90s) Disney movies are so fucking ingenious. Lion King can still me cry to this day, even though I’m 23 haha.

    • Bear City, because stocky hairy men in underwear.

      On a serious note(although above statement is still true): I don’t really have a favourite movie, in the context you’re referring to. There are MANY (like hundreds) of movies I genuinely enjoy equally.

  2. So it turns out that Monolith Soft has been helping with development of Breath of the Wild, which is really cool. I wasn’t aware that this was the case with Skyward Sword as well. With this game, Sun and Moon, and an entirely new generation on the horizon, Nintendo’s future looks pretty darn good.

    Reply
    • I’ll wait till the NX to see if their future actually looks pretty good.
      Not much apart from Pokemon and LoZ that we know about.

      Reply
      • Everyone “in the know” seems really confident in the NX. These are also people who are aware of the Wii U’s failures, and therefore have reason to believe that a positive change is going to occur. I think Nintendo has invested a lot of time and money into research and development. Due to comments about how the system is like a “new Wii”, I think that they have analyzed their Wii strategy and will replicate it as best they can. At least, that’s a best-case scenario.

    • I knew the Zelda Team will get assistance from Monolith Soft. The studio has worked on two open-world titles. Xenoblade Chronicles X open-world was amazing and brimming with interesting concepts and life. I hope the Zelda Team used Monolith Soft properly in filling that large world!

      Reply
      • Xenoblade Chronicles X’s world was the part that kept me playing. They can do what they are good at. Massive, stunning worlds while Nintendo does their magic

  3. Just hit 20 shinies on my challenge for 100 shinies by Sun/Moon’s release! I’m looking for something big/meaningful for the last one, if anyone has any ideas i’d be glad to hear em

  4. alright guys I think it’s high time we figure out what we know about the clues we got it on Sun and Moon,so we need a list of everything we know so far on Pokemon Sun and Moon,so what have we got?

    Reply
    • You’ve left a lot of comments like this, and in my opinion, if you want to figure things out about the upcoming games, the best thing you can do is actually just think it out yourself. Watch some theory videos, get creative. Telling other people to figure things out won’t get you anywhere

    • With everything we know the alchemy theory stands, though it’s not a clear theory so much as it is a bunch of connections.

    • Based on Hawaii
      A subtle theme of Alchemy and Life
      Five Islands one artificial
      Integrated species of Pokemon
      Professor studies Pokemon Attacks
      Mysterious bracelets
      Starters seemingly based on alchemical symbols
      Each island is said to have its own guardian
      Protagonist recently moved there
      Friend is a doughnut/Pokemon lover
      Prof. assistant is against Battling
      Sooner or later the ecosystem will fall
      Villainous Team NOT revealed
      Gym Leaders NOT revealed

  5. Something interesting my brother noticed: There doesn’t appear to be any flagship city in this region like Castelia or Lumiose. Unless that manmade island is not actually the E4 but a huge city?

    Reply
  6. I just want to share with u my theory …. we have 5 Islands as we know each Island has one guardian, we already know the name of the 1st island is Meleme and that’s mean yellow in Hawaiian language , I believe each one of these Island represent some kind of color and these color r the same color of these hexagonal on P.Zygarde chest …the artificial one could be represent by the white color though.

  7. So its official IGN picked LoZ:Breath of the Wild as their game of the show for E3, and it seems like everyone agrees with them and I mean how could you not its gorgeous, sucky though that they didn’t really mention S/M but oh well, also its seems Horizon was pretty high up there, which also looks beautiful

  8. Oi….Binacle in the dub sound….weird
    And they’re smaller then I realized

    But nonetheless I still love my Barbaracle

    Reply
  9. I just had a thought, how the friggin hell can a Binacle actually fight something
    I know they can detach themselves from their rock and kinda jump but it still seems lackluster
    Maybe for defense they do a handstand and use their rock as a shield
    And maybe if the battlefield was smooth enough it could use the rock like a curling stone and stretch out their claws as it spun
    Maybe they both can leap into the air, cling to the opponent and simultaneously attacked in different areas, and I kinda see them using Shell Smash to shatter their rock and greatly boost their speeds and they would throw each other like a spear and the twin fury would overwhelm the opponent

    Reply
    • Can they hop or something? If not, perhaps they spring themselves forward with a somersault or do a handstand like you said. Just checked the pokedex entry and it says they can “stretch and contract” and also take “bold hops.”

      Reply
      • They do short hops
        The reason I compile this info is that I need a clever way to write how the Binacle in my X journey acted
        But all I got is that after beating the Cyllage Gym Me, Diggersby (Newly evolved) Pancham and Tyrunt decided to rest at the beach before heading to Geosenge
        And my Pancham gets attacked by one while swimming and it clamps onto it, but that’s where it stops
        I was thinking it completely wows me with its tag team fighting or while trying to save Pancham it leads us to a whole colony of Binacle led by a Barbarcle and the one that attacked us defects

  11. UGH, what’s with people blocking off their secret base flags unless you become their secret pal? It makes me really mad…I’m running a blissey base, I do not have room for you.

    Reply
    • MY base is always open, i do add a puzzle element to mine, but it’s mostly just a path, the ones that annoy me are the warp panel returns after a long puzzle challenge.

      Reply
        • I got 1000 flags, so i am retiring hunting for bases, but if anyone wants a new one, i could share mine, easy to find and i got an interesting assortment of pokemon i could use.

          Reply
      • Not really…I actually just decided to make it all special. It’s attack stat really isn’t worth investing in compared to its special stat, imo.

        Reply
        • Well I think you meant Modest, I guess. Now that makes it just a toss-up if you need to beat any specific Pokemon in speed for Timid, or just have more power in Modest.

          Reply
          • Honestly I’m new to competitive battling, I’m just trying to breed some decent pokes first 😛

          • You should do a “Basic Everything Team”
            Special Attacker
            Physical Attacker
            Special Wall
            Physical Wall
            Entry Hazard

        • Hydreigon @ Choice Specs
          Ability: Levitate
          EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
          Modest Nature
          – Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
          – Dark Pulse
          – Flamethrower
          – Flash Cannon

          This is pretty much the Special Tsunami sweeper
          Avoid Chanseys and plan your attacks accordingly as Specs only let you use the first move
