Sun & Moon Speculation Pt. VIII: A Villa Revisited

I know I can’t be the only one that was pumped about the idea of the villa in Pokemon Platinum – a whole home I get to decorate?! For free?! Of course, it was a bit of a disappointment in execution and options for decor were extremely limited. With Pokemon Sun & Moon adding an emphasis on resort culture to the game, we’re left to wonder if perhaps our Trainer will receive access to yet another place to make their own.

Villa - Pokemon Platinum

Secret Bases made a return in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with additional features to make the concept even more… super. Given the recent remodel of bases and trainer customization returning, it’s foreseeable that we’ll see some enhancements to both areas. It would also be a simple and unobtrusive way to give a nod to Gen 4 and its impending remake (is it too early to get hyped?!).

Now here’s the real fun – what features would they add to get us excited for our humble abode? And what form will said abode be taking?

In ORAS we were given easier sharing functions to make our Bases more accessible via Street Pass and QR Codes. Pokémon is continuously striving to make our experience a collective one, so furthering our ability to share locations and show off our homes would be an obvious route to take. It could even become a new way to share Friend Codes – stumble upon a Trainer’s dwelling and get the option to copy their Friend Code to your 3DS – or perhaps a way to make your Trainer PR video even more personalized with an option to shoot on location.

super-secret-baseLeveling up Secret Base features could also enhance your own personal journey in Alola, combining Capture the Flag and the Secret Pals battling with such features as Pokemon-Amie and Super Training to give trainers even more ways to strengthen their team. Of course, any additions in the Villa will be moot if they don’t expand our options for interior design (isn’t the point of Pokemon to become a renowned decorator? Have I been playing wrong all along?)

In regards to the physical aspects of our hypothetical new house, it’s safe to assume that a side character (maybe we’ll meet Aarune again!) would gift Trainers the space. The Pokemon world is known for it’s free real estate, after all. Its location could really be anywhere at this point, but something tells me that pretty white resort we saw in our first glimpse at Sun and Moon isn’t central to the plot.

We’ve got a while until we have any real answers about which of the bonus features will get touched up or included in Generation 7, but luckily our imaginations are allowed to run wild for the time being. Until we hear more, I’ll be deciding what color scheme will go best with my new ocean view.

How would the rest of you feel about a new Resort House? And more importantly, how would you make it your home? Let us know down below!

  1. Obviously a bed that heals you is mandatory. Maybe like a disco ball/dancefloor and give us dance moves like the animal crossing character has. If there were practical appliances/objects as well that would be nice but I’m blanking on what that could entail. A closet to change our clothes would be great too. A green house to grow berries maybe? Egg incubator? Fossil reviver? Idk.

  2. I didn’t know that you actually got your own villa in those games until now, I remember going through the villas in pearl and thinking “I wish I could live in one of these” lol, the more you know! Neat!

    Reply
  3. I knew you could own a house, but I had no idea you could decorate it. No wonder I never visited it because it was such a boring and empty room. xD

    • Well it sounds slightly less ominous than synchro, that’s good I guess. Still hoping it’s a one-off thing and we don’t get yet another alternate form type to cluster Sun and Moon.

      Reply
  4. That would be sweet. I loved the Platinum Villa and I want to see it expanded to the levels of Animal Crossing (or lower). Yet, I lost so much money. Lucky, the Amulet Coin and VS Seeker exist!

    Reply
    • That would actually be really awesome! I’ve never played Animal Crossing myself, but what I’ve seen and heard of it would make a really interesting feature in Pokémon (especially for more post-game fun?!).

  5. so I was thinking of what pokemon could have Alolan variants based on real life counterparts and it got me thinking, Abomasnow is based on a yeti and yetis are basically just snowy sasquatch so it could very easily have a possible Alolan form where it loses the ice type and becomes a normal/grass or something, I mean it has a mega so that probably rules it out but I was just thinking. Honestly I hope Primape/mankey or Aipom line gets an alolan form, I love them and could see potential.

    Reply
    • One I can hope for is Paras as Alolan because it could learn to grow without the mushrooms and Parasect wouldn’t be zombie like anymore!

      Reply
      • I too enjoy Paras, but I don’t know if Paras can even be separated from their tochukaso controllers

        I theorized that Paras’ are instinctively drawn to the parasitic mushrooms from birth, or that even the Paras eggs get mushrooms to Spawn

        But I’m trying to think if alola’s environment would affect the parasitic effect, since Paras thrive underground and Parasect are basically serving the mushroom’s whims

        So it’s a wildcard at this point

        Reply
    • Look these seem to be so far Kanto and Environmentally based
      Abomasnow is a evergreen tree dummy, they never would stray from their icy realms
      Primape also doesn’t seem likely to change since the tropics seem to be perfect for them and would have no need to change

      Reply
      • Respect his opinion dude. He’s just speculating. No one knows. If you told me we’d have the Alolan forms we have a week ago, I wouldn’t have believed you.

        Reply
        • Another speculation what if an Eeveelution changed like
          Sylveon- Dragon
          Leafeon- Bug
          Vaporeon- Poison
          That could be a good way to give us are Eevee

          Reply
          • I always like the old memes of people thinking sylveon would be a flying type and drawing it flying like a helicopter with its tassels 😛

          • Oh but I think Eevee should have gotten something this time around like a Bug and Flying Eevee’s

        • I think at this point everyone on the internet thinks that when you suggest something, its like they think that in you’re mind you think its fact and they feel the need to rip a piece off of you for even just suggesting something even if you don’t believe it yourself and was never intended to be taken as such.

          Sadly I have fallen to such things on occasion as well, but not at the level as a certain ground enthusiast seems to.

          Reply
          • I try to not be like that if I don’t see something I try to see other angles or use mild constructive opinions to try to reach understanding

          • Sorry if I only demand the most logical and extremely well thought out ideas
            I really hate the Alolan forms and even more for screwing up how they work
            I’m fine with Vulpix turning Ice but Ninetales didn’t need to be a Fairy out of nowhere
            Same with Snowshrew, Steel hard ice shell isn’t enough to be part Steel

            It just mucks up things so much that anything could happen at this point

            And my body physically and demands logic and reasoning in Pokemon

          • yes earthen because your opinion is always the most logical well thought out and reasonable one out of all the people on here… -_- you’re such a jerk
            I have some very solid reasons as to why I could see a variant of all the pokemon that I state, however you’re really not worth my time at this point to explain them, because you’re far too absorbed in yourself for this conversation. News flash everyone knows you hate alolan variants and change in general, get over it, not everything has to please you.

          • The only, Only, reason I can think of for the fairy typing is due to the lore of the nine tailed fox – a fairy tale, if you will.

            As for the shrew, my only explanation is the chemical composition of sand/dirt as it contains the “elemental metal” compounds, such as oxidized iron, calcium carbonate due to moisture, etc.

      • Earthen Bite me! You don’t always have to have an opinion on everything and totally make people feel like sh*t. I am well aware that they are kanto pokemon and will probably stay as that, I was merely thinking what pokemon would fit well with the alolan variant! Also yeah its an evergreen, but guess what, I where I live there are evergreens all around me, and its currently 30 degrees Celsius outside, and you nor I, know how alolan forms work as of yet so they could take us totally by surprise. Honestly you make me so mad sometimes and I hope you feel bad.

        Reply
      • Um you might want to check your supreme logic here bucko cos your facts arent’ straight. Tropical conifers are a thing. Pinus merkusii, the Sumatran pine, is an example. It’s in the genus Pinus, I’m sure you can guess it’s evolutionary path. And I didn’t even need that example to back an iceless abomasnow, because Evergreens are very much a thing in temporal regions, even in mediterranean habitats where ice doesn’t really feature much. And sure, conifers do dominate most famously in boreal forests, but some clearly have moved way south. If a fire-type like vulpix can be pushed to become ice type through competitive exclusion, I’m sure an Abomasnow can become normal/grass. Sasquatch and Yeti are very often paired in cryptozoological fiction, so making a sasquatch variant of abomasnow makes perfect thematical as well as biological sense.

        And I might add, tropics with desert areas seem the perfect habitat for Sandshrew or fire types like Vulpix, yet those two were pushed to become ICE type of all things. Clearly Alola forms encompass more ecological complexity than simply adapting to the predominant local environment, and that’s stuff you can gather from simple examination of the 5 first forms we know of. Thus primeape could easily change in ways you wouldn’t expect if it had an Alola form, to reflect some kind of new-world monkey species the series hasn’t yet presented (and there are loaaaads of possibilities in that regard).

        Erm, Biologied if I may say.

        Sorry dude, I can sympathise with your grievance that people are getting overexcited about this and making up forms that make no sense, but what you’re attacking here are perfectly logical examples, and in the case of the former one, actually have great thematic composition. Ironically you’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment and pig-headedly ignoring the clear logic present here. And I don’t think there’s even a point into a discussion into why steel/ice and snow/fairy do make some level of sense, and how going by game freak’s track record that’s enough for them to choose those types.

      • ” Abomasnow is a evergreen tree dummy, they never would stray from their icy realms ”

        Sandshrew and Sandslash has sand in their name and they became ice types.

  8. Game explain just did a discussion video on S/M with Serebii and it was the most awkward thing I think I have ever watched lol, serebii seems like he’s sedated and angry at the world and the game explain guy is like the complete opposite XD

    • I wish they’d have someone else in the discussions rather than Joe, something about him rubs me the wrong way, but that’s just me.

      Reply
      • I definitely didn’t like him in the video he just did with game explain as he seemed a bit rude and distracted, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard him so I cant judge

        Reply
        • I feel like he takes things way too seriously, even if they are jokes. Like, when the starter leaks were confirmed real, he got all defensive because he thought they were false. But if we’re talking about discussions alone, I feel like he sometimes says things to show his knowledge on Pokemon and chimes in with random things. But this isn’t bash Joe jungle, so I’ll leave it at that.

        • This!
          And it broke some of the magic for me!
          I visit serebii regularly since I can’t remenber… But i never heard or read anything of/or about him( besides the posts)
          But i feel that the people who use the forums are very rude and impolite…
          Completely diferent from here…. Although i dont comment much! Im here everyday…. And well…. I respect people that like that kind of ambient…

      • hes like that from what i have seen on his posts on twitter. i remember he got angry because of a parody account posting stuff and i told him he was over reacting and he actually sent me a personal message saying he wasnt because people cussed him out in the comments and deleted them. welcome to the internet is all i can say to that lol

      • Its alot about serebii I don’t quite like. From how his site is set up and run to how his forums are. This a reason I’ve gravitated to pokejungle so much. The sight and people here feel real like there’s souls and stories behind everyone. I love how there is always discussion here too. It was never anything close like this on serebii.

        • That’s why we mark ourself as a ‘Community’ and take pride in that, instead of just filling our site with filler content to give the impression of having a lot of news. Fun fact: many of the information pages for games, anime, … are done by contributors but they hardly receive any credit and it just looks like Joe does all the stuff.

          Reply
      • no way i get the exact same vibe from him i even dmed him a couple times about things hes not commented on and he replies quite rudely

        Reply
      • Awww I feel like you guys are too harsh on Joe. I’ve argued with him plenty on Twitter about stuff, but also have had lengthy conversations about just being old pokemon fans now. He’s generally pretty down to earth once you start talking to him. I think how he acts though may be a british thing over all, as my friend from England acts and talks very similarly.

        Reply
    • I always find when hey have him on he adds nothing to the conversion. He give lukewarm responses and doesn’t really interact with the guy from Gamexplain…..Which is odd as he seems to have an opinion on anything and everything on Twitter like it’s his business…..lol

      Reply
    • Joe just acted like he didn’t wanna speculate on anything because he probably fears someone will take his speculating for granted, it’ll be false & then will discredit him
      It’s boring tbh & he also answers with “yes” or “I was thinking that”

      Reply
    • I haven’t seen the newest video yet, but I’ve listened to all of the other videos with Joe so far regarding Sun/Moon. I personally don’t think there’s a problem. He doesn’t contribute much because so many people take his words as fact, so if he speculates there will be people saying, “Well Serebii said X so X must be true.” Actually, I believe Derrick controls the conversation a bit more tenaciously to prevent putting Joe in that position.

      Reply
    • IKR Joe is very… Emotionless. It seems like he doesn’t want to talk. Although, I’ll just let him do him cuz he runs a great credible website….

  11. I’m gonna make a prediction on the trial captains:

    Melemele:
    * Normal-type (Somewhere on the top right area) Totem: Gumshoos
    * Bug-Type (Forest near the village) Totem: Vikavolt
    * Rock-Type: (Diamond Head area) Totem: Rockruff Evo

    Akala:
    * Mallow (In the forest area near the farm) Totem: Lurantis
    * Kiawe (Volcano) Totem: Salandit Evo
    * Sophocles (Colorful building in the middle city) Totem: New Electric-type (One’s we see, appear to be native to Melemele)
    * Lana (Water Pool area) Totem: Wimpod evo? New water-type

    Ulaula:
    * Ice (Ice mountain area) Totem: New Ice-type
    * Ground (Desert area) Totem: New Ground-type
    * Fighting (Stadium area) Totem: New Fighting-type or Bewear
    * Fairy (Observatory) Totem: New Psychic-type
    * Steel (Walled city) Totem: New Steel-type

    Poni:
    * Flying (Peak)
    * Poison (Gysers)
    * Psychic (Ruins)
    * Dark (Inside cliffs)
    * Ghost (Lone island)
    * Dragon (Tree)

    Reply
    • Where are you getting poni and Ulaula? And I feel that that would make the game a little to hard to have 18 captains maybe just keep 4 captains 1 for each island

      Reply
      • All that a trial consists is doing something, then battle a Totem Pokemon.

        Mallow: Find the four ingredients, then battle Totem Lurantis

        Kiawe: Find the difference between two dances, then battle a Totem

        Lana: Calm down an angry Pokemon, then battle a Totem

        Sophocles: Turn on a machine, then battle a Totem.

        One short “side-quest” , then a battle per island, seems to short. And you don’t really get to explore the entire island.

        Reply
        • That makes sense Thank you for enlightening me yet for Fairy I would have a fairy type totem then Psychic and where are Poni and Ulaula names coming from?

          Reply
          • Melemele(Yellow) and Akala(Pink) are confirmed to be the top-two islands on the map. Going by Oricorio colours, and the Alola symbol of Yellow, Red, Pink, Purple. The bottom two islands are probably Ulaula (Hawaiian for red), and is the bottom right island, due to red flowers being visible. So the other island would have to be Poni (Hawaiian for Purple).

  12. Ya know what would be cool for a pokemon game to do? After you beat the league and the champion, you actually walk back home similar to Earthbound or Undertale. You go through each town and NPC’s will congratulate you and you’ll meet important characters again. It would be really cool for world building

  13. Litten evolution will be the same as Greninja eevery body hate him in unofficial leak but then it become number one he will be amazing in the game pp didn’t notice how awesome his personality is.

    Dear GF can u change Litten evo a little bit just like this.

  14. I really hope we get to battle trial captains, even if only post game. I mean, they have type specialities, so unless they own the totem Pokemon, the only thing it matters for so far is where the captain is found, and I seriously doubt that is it.

        • Ah, I see. I tend to only go and see a film again if it was amazing or if I’m accompanying someone who hasn’t seen it. In some cases (like this one), I guess I’m kinda scared that after seeing the reviews I’ll start dissecting it and shatter my previous appreciation.

          Reply
          • Yeah, different group of friends wanted to see it, so I said why not. But I wouldn’t say reviews really influenced my opinion so much, but I had time to pay better attention to the movie because last night I was front row and it was hard to catch some stuff.

    Reply
  18. I read some Reddit discussion Aquatic synchronization posted or something and I got this if it’s true

    Marshadow- Ghost/Fire

    Mimichyu will be a stand alone

    Rowlet final Evo. Will stay Grass/Flying
    Litten pure fire
    Popplio Water/Fairy

    Only Kanto Pokemon get Alolan forms only ones I saw that does is Poliwrath, Marowak, Golem, Slowbro, Onix, Duduo, Dodrio, Abra line, and Vileplume

    120 new Pokemon and some mega’s including Politoad, Johto starters, Toxicroak, and Rapidash

    26 new Ice types

    Tapu will be in all guardian names

    You can ride Girafarig, Gyrados, Talonflame, Pidgeot, and post game Ho-Oh and Lugia

    This is all I got I don’t know if it’s true or not but what do you guys think?

    Reply
    • I think if this were to be true that it would be slowking to get an alolan form not slowbro since slowbro already has a mega. I also saw a really cool concept for a graveler/golem variant that was a snowball essentially.

      Reply
          • No clue that and Vileplume being Grass/ Fire, 26 Ice types, and Mimikyu being stand alone were what threw me off!

          • oh yeah, some of this could possibly be true but I’m like 90% sure 26 ice types is false, but we’ll see I guess

          • Yeah I feel that if anything these next pieces are 100% true

            Marowak is Ground/Fire (makes sense cause of trial captain of fire and such)

            The rideable Pokemon

            The Tapu part

            And 120 new Pokemon this I believe

    • As much as I would love 26 ice types, that’s so insanely high. No way that’s happening.

      Riding Talonflame, MY DREAM… not likely either.

      Marshadow- not a unique typing. Goes against the chinese leaker.

      Saw Mimikyu staying one stage from a mile away.

      Wish more than just kanto pokemon got alolan forms. Makes no sense why they get special treatment. Maybe its because some of the other gens are newer and their designs dont need updating.

      Litten: Pure Fire. HA. It’s gotta be fire/fighting or fire/ dark. No way you make a fighting style pokemon that looks aggressive like that and not give it a second typing. Although Feraligatr argues against that… he would have made an excellent water/ fighting.

      Tapus- also a given.

      Reply
      • Marshadow judging by the name will probs be a ghost or dark type, my money is on a ghost/normal type or a dark/normal type, that would be pretty cool.

        Also I saw these leaks in their original form and the typings they were talking about for the starters were their second stage, so its entirely possible littens will still be pure fire in its second stage. 🙂

        Reply
      • This is not certain and Talonflame I could see being rideable and Litten Evo. I’m with ya there and 26 Ice types are not likely

        Girafarig is my fav. Psychic type so I hope it can be riden as more a gental rider than like Tauros and Mudsdale

        Reply
        • I think we will have a much more limited pokemon selection to ride than we think. Theyre not our pokemon right?, and we don’t need ten different flying types to ride if theyre all gonna do the same thing. I personally think these are gonna be replacing HM’s. So Sharpedo/ Tauros can do rock smash in the water/ land respectively. Charizard will fly us places. Lapras might know waterfall or could be one of a couple surfers we get to choose. Stoutland might know strength, etc. But what would Girafarig do that others cant?

          Reply
          • Girafarig can be a total BAMF thats what it can do, don’t diss it or it’ll use its mind powers to throw you into the air. (I’m joking) but I really do hope its rideable it could use its psychic powers to move stuff out of your way kinda like strength

          • Interesting idea. Number one, I did not create the games, nor do I know the future, so I cant deny anything you say lol. Number two, these games are throwing everything I thought I could predict out the window. WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN! I love these times we are alive.

          • I do actually believe for each island different Pokemon help like maybe

            Melemele- Tauros, Charizard, Sharpedo

            Akala- Girafarig, Lapras, Talonflame

            Mountain island- Mudsdale, Gyrados, Pidgeot

            Altar island- Stoutland, ???, ???

            That was speculation but who knows

    • Well the leaker said that half of the stuff said wasn’t true however the trailer on the 12th will reveal the starters first evos, so take it with a pinch of salt

      Reply
          • Ever since those leaks came out, I am hoping that Arcanine has a Alola Form because Arcanine is one of my favorite Pokemon and Water types are my favorite typing. Seeing those two come together would have Alola Arcanine an instant spot on my team. It would be very disappointing to see Arcanine not get one though ):

    • If Marshadow is Ghost and Fire, that’s the chinese rumour defeated since it said Marshadow would have a unique type.

      It’s Mimikyu, not Mimichyu.
      A Politoed (again, spelling) would be interesting.

      The Ice types might be a bit excessive, but we’ll see.

      I can live with Tapus. Kind of like Regis.

      The riding stuff sounds farfetched, but riding Gyarados would be nice.

  19. Little detail I like in Soul Silver. In Clair’s gym, the ground is hot from the lava so you have to put your pokemon in it’s pokeball. I kinda like that. It’s caring for your pokemon

  20. Im honestly really sick of leaks/ rumors. I used to think it was fun, but its tiring seeing the discussions all around the internet and I’m getting more and more impatient for the games to just come out. I dont understand why whats been leaked has been leaked, and even how that happened. I just want to stick to discussing confirmed info. But alas, speculation is/ was fun for the majority.

      • They really are boring. And everyone gets so hyped over some of them and when they dont come true, people are let down.

        Reply
    • I can agree somewhat. After awhile, they get boring. But it’s exciting at first cause it gives us something to talk about while waiting for the games and we can discuss the aspects in the rumors and speculate what it would be like in the games.
      Sometimes, people just leak what they know. It happens.

  21. I really don’t think they’re done with Megas. I bet we get some soon, or at least a hint at them. Alola is obviously connected to Kalos somehow, so it would be odd for them to bring back Zygarde and a small part of lore and not the rest.

    Also this is the first time I’ve heard of the Villa. I never got to play Platinum.

    Reply
    • Yeah in terms of plot wise I wouldn’t see Mega Evolutions going away anytime soon without proper resolution to it’s story. Perhaps in S/M after we beat the post game we’re able to get old and new megas?

  22. “For Fomantis, photosynthesis is not just a source of energy—it is a necessity to achieve the strength and brilliant coloration of its evolved form”
    I bet you that Fomantis will evolved via a sun stone or it will have to be a certain level in a place with sun light kinda like Sliggo.

  23. I swear, Furret always pulls through for me. In my last Soul Silver playthrough, he took down Charizard winning the battle against Red. Then on my current playthrough, I just beat Lance’s charizard with Furret. One more air slash would’ve killed me but Furret got a critical and won.

    Furret is probably one of the best if not the best early game pokemon. It will seriously keep up for the whole game.

  24. I leave for Hawaii tomorrow morning, I can’t wait to get into the Alolan mood! I’ll be there until the 14th so the big news update will be awesome to see on the evening of the 11th 🙂 Of course, CoroCoro also leaks within the next few days to serve as a little teaser.

    Reply
    • That’s awesome I hope it is even better hearing it from there than where you are going to the roots of Alola!

      Reply
      • There’s CoroCoro as we knew, but right after the August 1st announcement they scheduled another announcement for the 12th. It’s hard to say whether ti’ll just be the same as what’s in CoroCoro, but I’d bet that it’s different just like how they’ve been doing it the past few months. I will say it’s odd they had a formal announcement for the 12th. the past couple of months they’ve just been releasing the secondary updates with little to no word on them. so it’s possible they might have something big in store for us this next time as it’s out of the ordinary. I guess we’ll find out soon tho! lol

        Reply
        • That’s good news! If the pattern continues we will get CoroCoro stuff plus a little bit of new stuff. This next week should be pretty exciting as far as news goes.

  25. Am I the Only one who didn’t play platinum or BW2? Only the original versions. . . Everyone says they are much better, kinda regret it

    Reply
    • I would say BW2 are better, but that’s just me. Platinum was around the same as D/P for me. Could always emulate them and play them

      Reply
    • Well BW2 are a different case then Platinum. They’re actually sequels and tell a different story. Platinum, however, improves on D/P, even if it’s not major. Giratina is awesome and the distortion world is an extremely unique experience when it comes to pokemon games. I would highly, highly recommend both of them if you get the opportunity.

      Reply
    • BW2 were way better but I missed Brycen as a gym leader in BW2, or they could have made him an Elite 4 member. Unicameral is by far my favorite region (not counting Alola). I hope Samurott gets a mega if it’s continued in Sun and Moon. Team Oshawott

      Reply
          • It would’ve been nice if they had given him a bigger role though in B/W. Other than the Striaton leaders, he has a super small part. I also wish they would’ve replaced the E4 for the sequels. They were the same people with almost the exact same teams.

          • I just realized something if Gen.1 re-remakes come out Sabrina Quit Gym leading in BW2 to act so who is the 6th Gym Leader???!!!

          • Well she wouldn’t have quit if they’re just remakes. We’d have to get Kanto sequels set after the events of HGSS in order for Sabrina to be replaced. Maybe the Karate King could replace her. His gym was in the same city as hers after all

          • Well “time will tell what the fates have in mind” this referenced the first episode of ash fighting Gary in the Johto league

    • Why didn’t you play BW2? I get not playing Platinum since it’s the typical 3rd version, but BW2 was a brand new story with new characters. It was pretty great if you ask me lol

      Reply
    • BW2 was definitely a good game. It expanded the pokedex to include older generation Pokemon and have the most post game content of any Pokemon game since. Try it out and you won’t be disappointed 🙂

      Reply
    • honestly imo B/W and B/W2 are both amazing and on par with each other, I don’t really see one better than the other

      Reply
  26. Am I the only one that doesn’t want GF to remake DP? I’d be all for it if they made a sequel or remade platinum but DP were just incomplete games and platinum took them and made them great. If they pull another ORAS with DP then no thanks. Just my opinion though 😛

    Reply
    • Mixed feelings. I’d love to revisit the Sinnoh region, but if they’re gonna do remakes they need to go all out. Platinum just told the story better..I would love sequels more though.

      Reply
    • I want them to remake Diamond and Pearl so they can explore the concept of niche evolution even further. They can open up undiscovered areas high up on Mt. Coronet or deep underground where Sinnoh Forms exist. I’d like if this can focus more on Pokemon other than those from Kanto, like Johto, Hoenn and Unova.

      Reply
    • I agree. ORAS were not great games, because they took none of the improvements from Emerald. Magma base in Mt. Chimney, Wallace as champ, Steven hidden champ, Battle Frontier e.t.c

      Also I would have much preferred an Emeral remakes cos of all the cool things they could have done with Magma/Aqua rivalry, plus the emerald cutscene in Sootopolis. Ah well, wasn’t meant to be.

      It really annoyed me cos the whole point of remakes is to improve on the originals with newer ideas/ concepts, while keeping the core (story) the same.

      Reply
    • I only want remakes because I could never really enjoy the originals and I feel like remakes would fix almost all of the problems I had with it, even though I played through it I feel like I never really experienced it, even though I did…. weird eh

  29. Whew… I’ve been very busy this week so I haven’t had a lot of time to get on Pokejungle lately, sorry about that :p I am glad though because this week went very fast and next week we have more news for Sun and Moon and I am HYPED!

  30. Hey there for those who don’t know who I am I’ve been looking at Pokejungle recently and I do like this community you all have, it looks unique and cool as opposed to previous ones I’ve seen, like Serebii. So I’ve decided to join Pokejungle because this seems a lot of fun, so I want to say hello to everyone!

  31. Ohhh.. . Omg you guys. Didn’t think of it til now. But seeing that Ash Greninja is in game… A sychro ev pokemon.. What if certain Pokemon Ie. Starters and Rockruff Synchro evolve after using a Z-Move. This would explain the rumor each starter has 2 evos.
    This would also explain the obsession with Megan Water Shuriken in the anime.. . Its his Z-Move.. he always leads with. Ohhhh.. I think I am right. Tbh. N the rumours Did Not say specifically no Synchro evs or hint at it to whoever told me that. I read it all.
    Oh an TyranitarTube helped me piece this together when he called Ash Greninjas Z moves water shuriken

    Reply
    • This would Definitely make using a z stone more valuable than other items with certain pokemon.. maybe they can use their z move more than once!

      Reply
      • Thank you! ^_^ It really pieced together for me when I thought back to how Ash Greninja’s Shuriken turn Huge and Bright Red .. like a super move.. in the anime.
        Ashs power is to bring out his pokemons Z Power without a stone. Not their mega evolution.

        Reply
  32. It leads the curiosity of one to see all the unique dances of each Z-move the trainer does. If you haven’t noticed, it’s very unique hand and arm gestures for each move, which i think may in fact be based on dances and tai-chi. It’s a very clever little subtle thing you may not have noticed or may have observed but never really considered, or if you’re an admirer of subtle details like me, enjoyed to see in Pokemon.

  33. Nothing in this entire world pisses me off more then a Pokemon that takes more then 10 pokeballs to catch in red health!!!!! NOTHING!!!

    PS. It wasn’t a legendary

  34. Magearna can’t be end of list. Because, she acted in 19th movie. Do not use in a film not included in the Pokemon series at the end of the list.
