It has been announced that the Pokémon Sun & Moon-inspired 3DS will not only be launching in Japan, but Europe as well (with a North American release also highly likely). The 3DS features artwork of the new legendary Pokémon, Solgaleo and Lunala, in white lineart on top of a glossy black finish.
In addition, there will be a special edition of the two games which come in collectible steel cases featuring art of the Alola region within.
What do you think? Does it look like something you’ll purchase?
<3 PJ

4. Arcanine
3. Ampharos
2. Turtwig
1. Togepi
My honorable mentions: Quagsire, Kecleon, Noivern, Snorlax
yus, quagsire is another one of my many favourite pokemon, lol all good choices
Thanks! I have made a list of my 150 favorite Pokemon, there are just so many good ones to choose from.
true, I usually just say all of johto when asked about my favs because there are only two pokemon in it that I don’t love, still think they are cool but like all the others I fell in love with them 😛
Lemme try to guess . . . Corsola and Smoochum?
nope I love them too 😛 , its actually Scizzor and Donphan, I love phanpy though
5. Dragalge
4. Arcanine
3. Samurott
2. Empoleon
1. Haxorus
Glad to see that there is a fellow Arcanine lover here! 🙂
1. Gardevoir/Espeon
2. Lopunny
3. Luxray
4. Furret
5. Froslass
Oh, tired with Furret is Cinccino. I really suck at just ordering/finding who I like more. It sucks
Honorable Mentions : Krookadile, Tangrowth, Dialga, all other eevevoltuions, all cat Pokemon (except Delcatty), Salamence, Dragalge
I FORGOT THO MENTION THE CAT POKEMON! I LOVE THOSE!!!
Tangrowth??? What do you like about it 😕
In my Black 2 Wedlocke, it held my team together and was a really good wall. Sadly, in one battle, it came down to killing her or her partner, so I let her go. Her name was Berry.
From then on, I realized Tangrowth is awesome.
I can’t even list a top 5 cus I like way too many Pokemon.
5: Darmanitan with my newfound love for the Flame, Darmanitan takes the signiture lead of my Fire Mono Team
4: Chesnaught a really smexy design
3: Emboar my favorite starter, perfectly matches my big bulky powerhouse demeanor
2: Sandslash I love Armadrillos and Pangolins, my first favorite ground
1: Rhyperior and Excadrill truly I couldn’t have asked for more reliable teammates so they take #1 equally
1.Swirlix/Slurpluff
2. Banette
3.Totodile
4.Zigzagoon
5.Gloom
Honorable Mentions: Krookodile, slowpoke, wigglytuff and Tangrowth
Ooh, I like your honorable mentions idea. Just out of curiousity, why do you like Gloom over it’s other stages?
There are many reason, I love its design and all the most out of all its stages but I really feel in love with it because of the anime where it shows how sweet of a pokemon it is, I’m a sucker for cheesy stories like that 😛
My Top 5 changes really often, but oh well, I’m feeling these right now.
1.Reuniculus (I recently noticed that I love this line A LOT! I find Reuniculus SUPER cute for some reason <3)
2.Chandelure (I'm a huge fan of Ghost Pokemon since I have a small (BIG) obsession with Horror films and literature IRL)
3.Umbreon (It is my favourite Eeveelution of all time, with Vaporeon coming in close 2nd)
4.Xatu (It used to be my favourite Pokemon a long time ago)
5.Empoleon (My favorite starter of all time, I love this line so much <3)
Honorable Mentions : Krookodile, Samurott, Sharpedo, Claydol, Klefki, Ampharos, Ariados, Vaporeon, Espeon
a lot of my favs are in this list too, I’m like you where my favourites change a lot and I have too many to count 😛
I am the same way. My favorites change so often, mostly in order, but sometimes in Pokemon entirely.
Haha, I feel you. I remember being obsessed with the Treecko line when I was younger, but nowadays I’m just like “anyway…” when I hear people talking about it.
1. Lucario
2. Luxray
3. Flygon
4. Arcanine
5. Espeon
It’s great to see lots of Arcanine lovers around here. I didn’t expect to see so many.
He is awesome. To be honest after Luxray I can’t really order my favorite Pokemon because I like too many. Salamence, Tyranitar, Metagross, Alakazam, Ampharos, Froslass, Typhlosion, Togekiss, etc. But Lucario is number 1 for sure and Luxray is definitely number 2.
1. Frosslass
2. Walrein (whole line)
3. Turtwig (whole line)
4. Noivern
5. Rowlet
Metagross
Gardevoir
Tyranitar
Scizor
Scrafty
1. Volcarona
2. Honchkrow
3. Magnezone
4. Togekiss
5. Luxray
Sinnoh Love <3
Volcarona wasn’t Sinnoh. It was Unova.
Well duh. You think I’d know where my favorite pokemon was from 😛
Ok.
Heres mine: a couple are similar to Ultron’s.
Togekiss
Giratina
Trevenant
Sygilyph
Volcarona
I’ll up the ante
top 5 favorite attacks and why (And don’t just load up on every Signiture move)
5: Dig, I’m fond of burrowing and I wish I could grab others and drag em down with me
4: Drill Run; just an extremely cool attack, crashing into the opponent with your body spinning
3: Hammer Arm; Smash things with a big fist
2: Earthquake; do I even need to say, you set off an Earthquake and end everything
1: Rock Wrecker; what is more destructive then launching an explosive Boulder at your foe NOTHING I SAY
1. Psychic
2. Flamethrower
3. Thunderbolt
4. Earthquake
5. Crunch
Why? Because they are strong. *shrug*
Not even a little flavor text?
I dunno what you want me to say. They are good strong moves. What more do you want?
Like assaulting their mind with telekinetic force
Or incinerating them to a charred crisp
Dropping a wicked bolt of electricity onto opponents
Setting off a destructive tremor
And lastly tearing foes in half with imposing fangs
Meh. *shrug* The in game animations and such don’t lend well to that.
You bore me
Should I care?
You should,
Well I don’t.
SILENCE PEASANT
You dare mock the authritah of the mighty Earthen!
Whatever.
Shift Gear – I like the idea of shifting up a gear to become faster and more powerful
Future Sight – fun to play mind games with the opponent. Partner with a Fairy of Fighting type to whack any Dark types they try to switch in.
Will-o-Wisp/Toxic – to infuriate people
Calm Mind/Bulk up – I love the slow set up where the opponent struggles to wear you down. Couple with…
Substitute – and make people rage like no tomorrow
1. Fiery Dance, the animation just looks so cool and I love Volcarona
2. Quiver Dance, Awesome boosting move…for Volcarona 😉
3. Energy Ball, I always thought it was a really awesome move
4. Thunderbolt, just a very reliable move
5. Flash Cannon, Gotta love that special steel move so magnezone can slay
6. Leaf Blade, idk just love it because of Leafeon
So I kinda wish they would create a new trading mechanism for gen 7, where you can trade items without having to trade pokemon and have it be super speedy. Often times I need to trade over a stone or something but am discouraged because I have to attach it to a pokemon and then trade it back and stuff..
Won’t happen.
It could! I don’t think it’s asking for too much
It won’t. At least not in Sun and Moon.
We’ll see 😛 Usually the things I want don’t happen lol
They listen to what you want and then laugh and don’t do it because they hate you in particular.
I think that’s true honestly
Thats a great idea, it would certainly make things a lot easier
It really would, especially because we can’t use pokebank to transfer items..
I’m surprised they haven’t already implemented this! The way we trade items now is primitive and a bit ridiculous.
I agree wholeheartedly. Maybe if there are GF developers lurking here they can take note 😉
They should include a fast transfer method where you can trade more than one at once. Or perhaps just a simple gifting method, without relieving a Pokemon in return. Or even make a thing where you can just drag Pokemon from your PC to another PC.
I like those ideas a lot. Multi-item transfer would be bomb
*Droools* oh man this thing looks SIIIIIIICK

Could you imagine if this could be a Pokemon
How to train your dragon?
New season of Race to the Edge starts Friday
This beauty is the Triple Strike
Assuming Strike or Sharp Class
I love this thing
Seriously!? Sweet. I finished season 2 not too long ago. I didn’t realize season 3 was so soon
I know and it’s even renewed for another season in the Fall
The shame is I’ll probably binge watch the whole season in one day
Thanks! Are they doing two seasons a year??
It’s Netflix
Dragon’s Race to the Edge
https://youtu.be/TozT_sBiDAM
No.
this is awesome
“A Triple Stryke’s braided tail is a force to be reckoned with, but each individual tail also produces its own unique venom: A sting from the first tail numbs combatants, the second disorients them with mild hallucinogens, and the third creates an agonizing sensation of burning in your very blood.”
Eeeyep I have an erection
Oh I loved the HTTYD movies! I haven’t seen the show yet. Is it that good as people tend say? 🙂
Personally I love it
(Hell im watching the Second Movie as we speak)
I very much enjoy it, certainly one of the better dreamworks animated series
And Race To the Edge best season so far
Well, good for EU.
I’m confused.. does this mean the game itself will be slightly different???
Why so vague???
I won’t pay, I dislike it if so.
Why would it be different it’s a promotion case
I don’t know. .. maybe I’m reading it weird.. but in my mind it sounds like the game is different slightly including the box.
Plus… Whose going to buy the same game twice… For a Tin..
This should of been a pre-order thing like they did for Emerald
How does this require you to buy the game twice?
why would you have to buy it twice?
How else would you get it? I didn’t know they sold things like this separately. .. but ok if they do. Buying from someone who doesn’t want the case doesn’t count though.
I’m still confused…? If you wanted the steel book (provided it came to NA) all you would have to do is buy the steel book version…. the only difference between it and the normal version is the package so I don’t get why you would buy it twice
Ohhhh wait.. I think Serebii originally said a few months after the release it something like that’s high got me confused. They updated the site and even cleared up the other confusion.. it’s the same game.. different box. I was going by what they said. All good now ?
oh ok 😛
I hope we get a koala Pokemon this generation! I think they could do some really cool things with its design.
At least, this is what the average Pokemon fan would say right now. Nekkoala and Iwanko still don’t officially exist.
ahgftdgsh I thought you were serious for a second haha. I’m still wondering why didn’t they reveal them? The CoroCoro magazine is out right?
It is, but the two still haven’t been added to the official site. It’s the first time that Corocoro has had news but the official site hasn’t updated with said news once the magazine has been officially released.
Personally, I’m guessing that they’ll be revealed at the world hobby fair gameplay this weekend, Junichi Masuda is going to be playing part of the game.
Yeah, this is the first time an “exclusive scoop” was truly an exclusive scoop from corocoro.
We don’t need any of those tree clinging eucalyptus munchers
Didn’t the magazine come out on the 15th? If it was in there, it was real.
it seems like somebody caught a shiny Poplio! Looks awesome ( refresh )
Barf
If that was the shiny, that would be dope.
And also, this really makes me dream about shiny hunting in SM <3
My dream is to hopefully find enough Ground Types to further my Ground Type Mastership
Who in the world took this picture? Who is playing the game? Is it fake?
I mean, I think es fake cause I would think they would change the egg hatching scene and not have the same one as the one in ORAS
Was there available playing at e3? Idk much about these events at all lol
Super fake.
I miss Animal Crossing. I’m thinking about restarting Wild World or City Folk soon, just to get back into that experience. But I’m thinking about the future of the series. Don’t you think it’s interesting how the Animal Crossing Mobile app is releasing in Fall 2016, right around the time when the NX and its launch titles will be revealed? It was stated that the mobile game will tie into full Animal Crossing console experiences, so do you think that Animal Crossing could be an NX launch title? I certainly think so. If not, late 2017 or early 2018 are guaranteed. The connection is already confirmed, something has to be down the pipeline!
Oh man, I hope so. Animal crossing is so addictively fun, they need to make another one. I believe new leaf came out in either 2011 or 2012 in Japan, so we are well due for another one. I just revisited my old town in New leaf a few days ago, I really missed the place. I wish that in the next game, you could freeze your town in stasis or something, so that when you come back a year later, everything isn’t ruined.
Yep, November 8th 2012 for Japan. I know that their team has been involved with amiibo Festival, Happy Home Designer and Splatoon since then, but they also had to have been developing the “next big thing”. All of that is behind them now (including the Wii U itself), so it’s full speed ahead for Animal Crossing NX.
While every type is popular to some extent, anybody have a type they almost never use? Surprisingly, fire, rock, and ground tend to be ones I don’t remember using much. Sorry earthen.
same actually for all 4 types, and ice
Right? I use moves with those types. I actually used a magmortar with thunderbolt in x and y post game (what little there was) and stealth rock and earthquake tend to find their way on my team most of the time. But other than that, even bug isn’t as popular with me although gen 5 had some great ones I’ve been dying to use.
yeah I’ve been trying to make myself use pokemon and types that I wouldn’t normally this past 2 years and honestly I noticed that there are more types that I don’t use than I do, Like I have pretty much only been using fairy, ghost, grass, dragon and water.
In my playthroughs of Y and ORAS I’ve never used a fairy type.
Outside Gen 6, ice.
Bug, Rock, and Poison, usually. :3
I completely forgot about the bug type.
I find myself not using Psychic and Rock a lot…. And then I also don’t get Ice all that often….
Fairy, Psychic, Ghost and Dark
Just never really used/liked them
The type ground seems a bit bland, so unless it is paired with any type other than rock, I hardly ever use it. (Please earthen go easy on me. . .)
http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/0/05/MaskFeelingLucky-1.jpg/600px-MaskFeelingLucky-1.jpg
I almost never use Fairy, Psychic, Ice or Fighting. I actually like the concept of Fairy, but there are not many Fairy Pokemon I like. Psychic I just don’t like (except some of them). I usually use Dragon, Water, Ghost, Flying and Poison.
So while we are all bored, why not have a little discussion.
What was your favorite aspect of the game from each generation.
Mine are:
Gen 1- The challenge!
Gen 2- The Pokemon designs/Post-game (but basically everything about the games)
Gen 3- The Region
Gen 4- The Lore
Gen 5- The Story (duh)
Gen 6- The new battle mechanics/Music
Gen 1 – Certain Pokemon/ music (Don’t have too much I like about gen 1 really)
Gen 2 – Region/post-game
Gen 3 – evil team/music
Gen 4 – Region/evil team/pokemon/story somewhat
Gen 5 – Story/evil team/music
Gen 6 – Region/music
Gen 1 – the Pokemon designs
Gen 2 – post game/replay ability
Gen 3 – the music
Gen 4 – the difficulty
Gen 5 – story (honestly for lack of an out standing feature)
Gen 6 – the graphics
Gen 1- It was the beginning whats not to like
Gen 2- Everything, the pokemon, the story the lore
Gen 3- Secret Base introduction had me obsessed as a kid
Gen 4- Nothing really stands out to me at the moment except the evolutions of some old pokemon as well as some cool new ones
Gen 5- The graphics, the story, the landscape, the feel of it all
Gen 6- The introduction of Fairies and 3D
Gen 1: Nothing. Maybe the feel of the old games?
Gen 2: Haven’t played, but from HGSS I can assume post game.
Gen 3: Region
Gen 4: Lore
Gen 5; Story
Gen 6: Battle mechanics.
Gen 1- Nostalgia and gym leaders
Gen 2- Post Game
Gen 3- New mechanics
Gen 4- Team Galactic, Story, and Region
Gen 5- Team Plasma, Story, and Region
Gen 6- Uh….updated graphics and super training
We were discussing down below the different types that we (don’t) use, and then I got to thinking that each type tends to have a characteristic about them right? Like fire tends to be good attackers, steel is pretty solid and defensive, and electric is fast. Now there are exceptions of course but I was curious about what you guys think the others are or if you really don’t think there is any similarities between most of the Pokemon of one type.
Fire are more special attackers to me.
Alright, since I feel like a lot of questions are being asked, I’ll ask another one of my own. What is your favorite music track per gen, or if you are too lazy for that, favorite track overall?
cynthia champion theme
The only one that ever stuck in my head is Sunyshore City
https://youtu.be/BULBrQJHCsc
I agree with you there. This one is so nostalgic for me.
I’d also remark how I wish I could enter the place on bike so I could hear the music
Do you ride your bike everywhere?
All da time
Must be weird. The only time I use it is in breeding.
out of context this is quite the statement 😛
Gen 1 – route 3
Gen 2 – azalea town
Gen 3 – route 120
Gen 4 – route 203
Gen 5 – relic ruins/route 10
Gen 6 – route 1/route 15
Honorable mentions:
Gen 1 – gym theme
Gen 3 – biking theme
Gen 4 – route 205/Cynthia battle
Gen 1 – Vermillion City
Gen 2 – Route 48 (I know its HGSS but I dont care)
Gen 3 – Slateport City / Sky Pillar (Not ORAS version)
Gen 4 – The snow routes
Gen 5 – Credits
Gen 6 – Legendary Battle Theme/Route 15
Oh shoot no, the best gen 6 theme is any of the Zinnia tracks. Zinnia is the best!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbQq5-1lBZI
Yeah, it’s a spinoff. Sue me.
nothing wrong with that, i loved those games
Gen 1 – Pallet Town
Gen 2 – None come to mind
Gen 3 – Wally’s Theme (I know, only in gen 6, but es a part of Hoenn sooo shuddup)
Gen 4 – Route 205 theme
Gen 5 – Any relating to N (Emotion, N’s Farewell, battle theme, upbeat theme, etc.)
Gen 6 – I like so many! <3 But probably a tie between Route 15's theme and Laverre City's
Honorable mention is any theme related to the TIme Gear melody in PMD Time/Darkness/Sky. All of them have a similar melody and I love each of them (especially Primal Dialga's theme)
TDS just has the best OST hands down
Agreed <3
Steven Champion Theme ORAS
Gen 1- Definitely the opening theme
Gen 2- Lance theme
Gen 3- Cycling Road (route 110) I also like the opening theme
Gen 4- Cynthia Theme, Twinleaf Town
Gen 5- N’s Castle, Farewell,
Gen 6- Freaking Everything…. But in all seriousness to narrow it down: (Surfing themeeeee, Lysandre theme, Professor Sycamore theme, Melancolie Path, Route 18, and Kiseki…)
Okay more discussion 😀
What is one thing you want the most in Pokemon GO….. It can’t be “for it to be a good game” if you are against it. Something you think is critical for the game to be successful if it isn’t implemented..
The normal Pokemon battle system
I agree with you. That gives room for more opportunities like PvP battles, and more battling in general.
Pokemon that aren’t from gen 1. I don’t want this game giving fuel to genwunners
They said it will be implemented a little bit after launch. But yah those genwunners are terrible. I met one in person and it was a horrible experience…
They’re fake fans
I wouldn’t call them fans. I would call them stuck in the past.
That’s accurate
For it to not be shit. Which will never happen.
Literally said not to comment that. But whatever…. Anything you can think of for it to be better instead of just putting it down?
For it to not be a cash grab. But that is all mobile games can be and would require GO to be delayed for many many many months.
Tru dat 😀
On a good note, the game has great music. And I think the fact that there will be all pokemon in it brings my hopes up.
So questions have sort of overrun the comments (not that I mind) so who do you think is the best pokemon professor? My nostalgia wants me to say Oak but honestly I’m going to have to go with Juniper. She helps you out on your journey and actually takes time to see how you’re doing. She also gives you a lucky egg, which is awesome! The worst would definitely have to be Elm. Totally forgettable.
Oak. Not nostalgia talking, he’s just everywhere. And the one to invent the Pokedex…
Although Juniper is definitely 2nd for me. Worst would be Elm XD
If I rule out the anime, it’s easy for me to say Juniper. But it’s hard to forget Oak from the anime >.<
I really like Sycamore for his personality and theme, but I definitely feel you about Juniper. She’s also sort of like me, I tend to be a bit spacey at times, especially when I am focused on the things I love
I need to replay Kalos. I don’t remember much about the characters, sycamore included
Sycamore. Sexiest man in all of Pokemon.
Ethan/Gold is pretty cute though
Anyone think Super Training is kinda pointless? Horde EV training is way more effective and faster. You can EV train a pokemon in less than 30 minutes with that
I sometimes use it if I get a good bag for one Pokemon, but I just Horde EV train
I think being able to get multiple evolution stones and reset bags are nice, but horde ev training so too good
I super train because I like to max their EV’s before I let them grow levels 😛
I really don’t like sharing them music ……but “SM Trainer Battle Music” make me break this habit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZs_6KxpFak I like the sound of FLUTE.
Its kinda…. boring?? Maybe it isn’t final
Most of battle them are fall in the same monotonous but I feel this is kinda different …as I said I don’t like battle them most of the time except some legendary them and E4 …..my favorite part is from 0:45-0:55..it’s look like flute sound for me.
I kind of hope that this doesn’t come to America. I would have to buy it when I wouldn’t use it…..
So this is my last Pokemon GO comment, I promise.. I’m just excited for it now that its coming soon.
But speaking of coming soon, when do you guys think it releases?
End of July
