Greeting Pokéjunglers!
Pokémon GO’s full release is fast approaching. It is currently due sometime before the end of next month. Many new features have been added for BETA players in recent days, such as the ability to use Pokémon candy (formerly evolution shards) to increase the maximum potential of a given Pokémon, or the ability to earn rewards for defending gyms. The general consensus for the game is that as long as you do not go in expecting an identical experience to the main series, chances are you will enjoy the reportedly challenging and addictive experience.
Despite the app still currently only being in BETA, trainers have found a way to coordinate and communicate with each other in order to get the most out of the experience. GO Chat is a unofficial third-party app that allows Pokémon GO users to reach out to other trainers for the purpose of managing gyms, asking about locations of specific Pokémon, and later down the line trading. The app has an amazing two-thousand active users each day despite Pokémon GO not being widely available to the public yet.
Currently the app is available here for free on the Google Play store and after reaching out to the creator we have been assured that an iOS version is due mid-July. We were also told that precautions are being taken to keep the app safe from being taken down in the long-term, and that more professional graphics are coming soon! The chat app is doing really well and with the impending release of the main app there are no signs of that hype slowing down. What do you guys think? Will you be using this app to coordinate your very own Pokémon adventures in real life? Let us know below!

I just found out that Drill Dozer released on the Virtual Console a few days ago. Well, I think I know what I’m doing today…
I’m feeling the fakemon’s itch
Now truly and honestly I want to create a Fakemon for each existing type but those often get dual typed any that would just complicate it
I have been interested in Fire Types lately so what would be a awesome fire type that hasn’t been done before
Either a black cobra with glossy flammable scales Coalbra, a living purple and black flame that produces highly poisonous smoke Smolderume, a Rampaging Red Bull with a fiery anger. Infernox, Boiled Frog that has insane HP and Special defense but very little offense Froiler or Confrogerate and lastly a Peacock mixed in with a Pheonix
Lol, infernox is the name of a lego set my brother has. Also, Ho-oH is a peacock phoenix.
Yeesh we need that hobby fair like now, we are desperately need some info
So, I’m actually pretty excited for GO. I now embrace the fact that it is nothing more than a spin-off and something to reach out to the mobile audience so most of the game won’t be main series mechanics. I truly think that once we get more than just 151 pokemon it will be a LOT more interesting and will have a lot of diversity…
So I’m pretty excited, plus I travel often so it’s definitely a fun thing to pass the time!
guys, I’m thinking about getting pokemon bank, but I’ll be buying a new 3ds in a few months. do you know if I’ll be able to access my pokemons from both 3ds or if it’ll be restricted to the 3ds I purchased it from?
As long as you use the same NNID it should be fine
you sure? someone on tumblr (I know, not too reliable) told me that I could only access it from the ds I payed it from
Well you’re transferring the data right? If so that should at least keep the pokemon
I just looked on pokemon bank site FAQ, indeed I can only access it from the ds I payed it from 🙁
GUYS THIS THEORY IS SO GOOD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiCJCfC6gmI
This is an interesting theory, but I automatically doubt it. First thing first, the Lass is from the Alola Region. Wouldn’t GameFreak use the Lass from Kalos? Also, it could easily be somewhere from Alola since Hawaii is literally known for flowers. I love Bird Keeper Toby’s theories, but this is rather far-fetched.
Yeah and I sorta realized that in the Alola region map, there’s certain sections of the islands that are cut off due to other structures, so it could be in any of those places.
I still thought it was a pretty nice theory though, considering the yellow flowers do resemble the ones in Kalos
True and we are probably not going to Kalos due to going to 2 regions would take a lot of space on the 3ds and it hasn’t been done since HG/SS.
But something to point out, I wouldn’t think that a Lass has a Krookodile and Pangoro… So maybe the Lass is just a place holder for something they don’t want to show yet….
This was my first thought, because they showed the Lass’ model in the Treehouse gameplay
Eh. I could see that as a possibility, yet GameFreak usually doesn’t do placeholders. It could easily be a later portion of the game where a Lass is using those Pokemon. Also, Krookodile and Pangoro does fit the Alola vibe, so I’m sure we will see them in the region.
Yeah, I mean just throwing ideas out there cause I really want to go back to Kalos eventually (it feels so empty to me ugh) but probably won’t happen in these games.
So while playing Black on my new 3ds my pinkie accidentally hit the power button. Now I get to train my emolga up 7 more levels ^.^ I’m so happy.
That’s an unusual response to losing progress. When I lose save data, I usually lose all my motivation.
I’m not actually happy :I
Sorry, I’m really bad at detecting sarcasm.
It is harder when its text and not speech
I was hoping the period at the end would help
It was actually the emote that threw me off.
*while waiting for the world hobby Fair,started to March to the music of ravel’s bolero*
So Magearna has alternate colors huh? Could it be its shiny or do you guys think it’s just special colors like Vivillon?
It could be a shiny. <3
If that's the case, it's looks pretty nice. 😀 I love the fact that it's Poke Ball part is now colored like one, and the gold is the best part tbh :3 <3
Probably a shiny.
I’m rather sure it’s her shiny colours. She does resemble a PokeBall, which looks amazing!
Supposedly the coloring in the pic are what she looked like originally 500 years ago. I imagine the previously known coloring is due to the colors fading. Either way I also love the color lol
Maybe you can paint its ass to resemble any Pokeball
Love ball Magearna! <3
Hmmmm I wonder if it’s technosexuality or Beastiality
Shiny most likely, probably won’t be seen outside of Japan for 6 years
*6 years later*
US : Um….are you ever gonna distribute shiny Magearna internationally?
GF : lol what’s a shiny?
We still don’t even have Red Genesect. Ugh.
I know D: It looks so awesome, I would love to have one
I don’t understand why we didn’t get it as a movie tie-in.
I know! It’s so stupid that these events happen.
I’m still a bit salty that they released shiny jirachi as I love its shiny. (I mean, it is for their holiday, but still, spread the love of that holiday elsewhere please! :3 It’s a cool holiday)
Nintendo and GF secretly hate us :/ We don’t get holiday tie-ins.
I just want some shiny legendaries that I can’t get in the games D:
I want Shiny Mew so bad
these colours are awesome
Unrelated, but the Steam Summer Sale is starting soon! Anybody have any games they are planning to get? I’ve been looking at Stardew Valley lately
All I want if for them to put PMD on the 3DS eShop
I’m getting restless to see the starter evos. Show ’em game freak! Show them that my perfect little cat isn’t ground type!
At this point, I just want confirmation that it won’t turn out like the leaked evo with the Fighting-like appearance…*shiver*
Anything but that, please.
I don’t think they’ll show the second stages till august or september :/
Fire or Fire/Dark plz!
I will take anything that isn’t Popplio being part Fairy
Hell it could be Ghost, Dark or Psychic and I’ll take it
I’m really hoping for a good Fire/Dark evolution. Right now Houndoom is the only one, and I think that there are many options that they can go with the design + stats.
Hmmm I had an idea
Is anyone familiar with the Ornithocheirus?
If not it’s kinda like a pterodactyl but smaller and has that beak fins
http://41.media.tumblr.com/0b247a67cf571de72a10cb96124e06c1/tumblr_nn7g81B5MW1sfml49o1_1280.png
But my idea was either to make it a Fossil Rock/Steel or regular poke of Steel/Flying and replace the wings with scythe blades and beak fin with an Axe,
An extremely well rounded physical attacker with very good speed,
It already looks like a Pokemon, so you know that it’s a perfect fit.
A dinosaur made of weapons theme
Axe beak
Scythe wings
Sword claws
Maybe a spear tail
Maybe Ordcheirus (Ordnance and Orthithocheirus) for a name
UGHHH, I missed the E3 sale!! I thought it ended at 8:59 PM PT, but it was actually AM! Now instead of buying 30 dollars in eshop money for the game I wanted, I have to buy 50 dollars worth of cards, because I don’t have enough for tax. I guess that’s what I get for waiting until now. >.<
Whoops, I forgot to mention that it was on the Nintendo eshop.

that reach of lillie and magearne so farfetch
Yah agreed… i’m just gonna say that she carries the starter probably….
i just saw the extra moveslot theory too. they really are reaching the stars with this theories
Is the Ol’ Analysis Machine a taffy maker?
Because these theories sure are being stretched a lot :^)
I mean, the location of the house is one of the only things I can agree on, as I observed the same thing. But the other theories I’m like ‘…well, it’s your theory, I guess, interesting points, but meh’
The house one isn’t even a theory though, it’s fact! 😛
It’s like saying that the Alola region being based on Hawaii is a theory.
True, that’s why I didn’t say it was a theory, only a thing I can agree with since it is clearly on the map. :3
OOooooooohhh roasteeeedd XD
The old analysis machine is getting a bit rusty. The only new thing that I saw was the garage.
I think I commented this before but here it is again:
There are two types of people….
Pokemon GO
and
Pokemon Sun and Moon
honestly, i dont want the frontiers back. i want the PWT to come back. Especially now that i actually know how to battle competitive.
or what about…. BOTH
No, jk… Honestly, I can’t decide. I think that the Frontier is a little harder, but PWT is more fun.
I want frontier because I like the environment there. It seems like a fun place to be, and I like that there is an area designed to be tough.
But Hoenn Frontier has a Battle Dome which is a tourney mode, and is more strategic.
http://i.imgur.com/6qFCKIa.jpg 5th move slot?
Yeah, saw that in the theory…. I think if you look at the tackle slot it’s bigger because of the effective sign on the right… I think it’s only 4…
It literally has the numbers 1-5 on it though.
That was added, not in the actual gameplay.
Ah.
Yup… So good pointing it out, but it looks just like a bigger slot to me 😀
The thing is, tho, that the selection screen from where you picked a move only fits 4 (can’t find the one that is shown with dazzling gleam, but imagine it there) (refresh if you can’t see it)
Found it (refresh) (I am just spamming pics lol)
That’s right but maybe the 5th move is a spare we can switch it with other 4 .
While it’s a good idea, the last thing we need is to make the games easier.
Ugh I’m sorry but that bottom screen is just horrible! why not just make it four giant squares like before? It just makes useless space I hate it so much
I hope that it is customizable. I believe they said the list was an homage to the first gen.
I hope so, because Kanto doesn’t need homages like this when there is obviously a better option. What’s next make a homage to the nothing post game?
Oh boy…. Hopefully not XD.
I honestly think we are in store for a HUGE post game. I mean, why would they make these quick games. These are the 20th anniversary games! They have to be epic!
I have an idea. For the 20th anniversary, let’s implement these features in sun and moon as an homage to first gen!
– Undo the physical special split
– Glitches everywhere! Yay!
– Take away the fairy, dark, and steel types
– Make psychic and dragon broken in the meta game again
– Make leech seed broken again because it stacks with toxic
I dunno why, but I really like it. The four square thing was getting a bit stale, imo, since it’s been done for the past couple generations. And I don’t mind the empty space, I hate things being cluttered and having a lot going on.
Who knows, maybe it could be customizable.
The bottom screen interface for battles already has four slots for moves. This space is likely to show the item a Pokemon is holding.
how Magearna looked 500 years ago when it was serving a kingdom where it looked fancy. serebii http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1466549098538.jpg
Yo I’m actually legit excited for GO now. With them confirming all pokemon eventually, I think I’ll really enjoy the game. Plus trading will be implemented later after launch! And launch is only 2-3 weeks away!!!
Trading is such a big part of GO for me because I am only trying to catch in this game, not battle. It should be implemented for launch.
I understand, but I think the reason they aren’t implementing trading is because they want Pokemon to only be obtainable if you catch them yourself… So that way, you actually do the work XD
I mean, you still have to catch the Pokemon to trade, lol.
True… I guess now that I think of it. OMG IM SO STUUUPID XD
Maybe they’ll have only local trading… That’s at least what I think. But imagine if you live in California, and you want to get a Mamoswine or a Cryoganal (when they update it with all pokemon) then all you have to do is trade.
I’m confused with Magearna’s design. Supposedly it was created many many years ago, and it is designed to look like a pokeball. I know the anime is not canon, but in Pokemon 4ever, it shows that that specific pokeball design is a recent creation, because young oak has different pokeballs.
You’re supposed to be
The whole Pokeball time line is in shambles
The giant stone Pokeballs
The capsule one Sam Oak used
The Apricorn stuff
Honestly don’t get hung up on the canonical representation that this “Fancy Magearna” presents, tis a fight you’ll surely lose
Pokemon canon in general is confusing.
Exactly but that’s the thing, Anime V Game TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
perhaps modern day poke balls were based on Magearna’s design, and they didn’t decide to use it until recent years looking back on it in history and being like, thats sweet lets use that.
Bull, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/History_of_Poké_Balls
firstly you liked to a page that doesn’t exist….? but I’m assuming it was meant to be the poke ball history break down, and ya know thats cool, but I’m already aware of the history of the pokeball, that being said, we’re talking about Pokemon… they throw random things in all the time, they don’t care about continuity especially in the anime 😛

I want Pikipek to stay absolutely adorable but I like these!
Me too.
I like all of them but the Yungoos evo looks a little bit boring.
I just like Nekkoala and Grubbin evolutions.
Yeah they are good. I also like the crane idea. Not amazing but interesting..
I love all of these except for Pikipek and Yungoos.
Ooooo I love that beetle. I wouldn’t mind a crane evolution for Pikipek. Wouldn’t mind seeing it go another way either.
These are all pretty nice, especially the bug. I really like the way Grubbin looks, so I have high hopes for its evolution. Lol my main problem is I will have a full team before the 1st badge and I won’t try anything cool in late routes
