“New” Sun & Moon Footage!

by

pyukumuku-sidequest-map“New” is in quotation marks because this video is actually three days old! Originally from publication V-Jump, the quick clip features never before seen Pokémon Sun and Moon gameplay of the protagonist completing an NPC’s request to throw the Pyukumuku back into the ocean for some cash. While the footage is not anything groundbreaking, we do get a look of the overworld in a previously unseen area. And dang you get paid a lot to do such minimal work!

It also seems as though there may be a Pokémon moving about on the beach at the 1:00 mark. Whether it can start an encounter to catch something such as a Sandygast, we’ll have to wait and see 🙂

  4. When Ash lost the Kalos league there was a good backlash but a few people said that the writers themselves didn’t agree with the outcome.

    Is there any proof of this or can someone link me something that days this ? Thanks in advance 🙂 :*

    • Turns out it was the animation director who didn’t like it. Makes sense, since his job is to animate it, not write it. So that makes sense why the writers didn’t simply change the outcome. Though that still means the writers still wanted him to lose and were not hesitant to make him do so.

      • Ah thank you ! I was wondering what the story was behind it ! Someone mentioned it in passing and I haven’t gotten around to finding out fully what it was until now 🙂

  6. So some rando internet guy had a very interesting thought
    Zoroark and Pyukumuku
    Zoroark illusion itself in Pukecumber’s likeness and tempts fate by tricking the opponent into going easy or switching in to the real thing if they try and switch out, then becoming a game of cat and mouse

    And one more diabolical thought is Taunt or Follow Me on Pukey causing so much problems

    Seriously if Inards Out works in the way I’m thinking having this thing be a squishy switch in dummy will be the bane of sweepers
    But if this thing has very abysmal HP then this all falls apart maybe it has like a base 100 hp or a lousy 60

  8. Okay I made these and wanted your opinion. It’s my first attempt at digital art.
    Water – Scaladom – will gain the Flying typing
    Fire – Cubber – will gain the Ghost typing (if I can manage that)
    Grass – Triaffe – will gain the Fairy typing

  13. Ok clearly a sign of bad luck
    The very moment I was winning with flying colors the whole server shuts down and doesn’t remember my auto login

          • As a wise man once said, “I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me.”

          • Nope because I’m overweight, near diabetic, socially shy and awkward, I can’t string a sentence without jumbling it, I have a shitty job and literally no friends, and none of my family ever does anything with me and I’m dying slowly each night because of my sleep apnea
            Who would possibly want to be me

          • Well that’s why you come here. We’re your friends, even if you haven’t met some of us. We raise you uuuup so you can stand on mountainnnns. But seriously, I’m sure there’s someone out there who would rather be you. I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say we all have something about ourselves we’re unhappy with, so just let Pokémon fill that void 🙂

            I’m not a great motivational speaker

          • I’m, dysphoric, confused, shy, awkward, and nerdy. No one is perfect, everyone has to wear a mask. But I reached out and found people. I took a risk and talked to people and I have good friends now. I find things that make me happy and keep me busy. No one in my family feels the things I do and it is super lonely being the only one like myself and my family doesn’t fully get it a lot. But that’s okay. Because even if they don’t show it, they care about you. If they don’t.. well fuck ’em. You have you. Life is too precious to be unhappy.

          • Well I truly don’t have much worth clinging
            My literal only excuse I haven’t offed myself at this point is a petty desire to play some games not out yet and that’s truly it

          • You should find something else. Games are great, but you should look for another passion. Like, what have you got to lose? Find a club, or take some lessons in something or just… something! Write a story, paint something, make videos. This world has so much to offer. Just find something to do. Something you might enjoy. We care about ya earthen.

          • That’s the problem. You can’t always win. Literally no one ever has gone through life winning. I’m 100% serious. You need to reach out and find something.

          • Nope they’re just laughing up at the guy who probably lost 30 times in one day
            And me I’m always the fucking loser under everyone’s heel

          • How the heck would they know you’ve lost 30 times? Dude, people don’t care about you online as much as you think. You play pokemon, they win, they move on. I don’t sit there laughing at the opponent when I win a battle. No one does. The world isn’t out to get you

          • It really is, nothing ever fucking works and you know it
            You know how long I’ve been losing for nearly 2 years straight
            Like right now I lost because of a crit shifty killing Miltank now I can’t win because sucker punch is unavoidable

          • Dude, everyone is better than ME. Someone will always be better than you. it’s a fact of life. You gotta be happy with yourself and not other people. That’s rich coming from me, someone who still gets a bit frustrated when people seem unimpressed with my art. I’m scared to express myself alot because of others. But I’m learning to escape that. Why should I let myself be unhappy because of someone else?

          • I am never happy with myself
            It’s been that way for fucking years, nothing I do ever works out right or has gotten better
            And I need every last drop of victory to abolish that

          • Well if nothing ever works then you need to figure out why. That’s why you keep losing because you don’t change your strategy. You need to change something in order to win. Same for life

          • I keep losing because everyone is using the most broken overused and overpowered stuff
            And I’m seriously having just insanely bad luck, everything misses and I counted at least 19 crits

          • Yeah okay, but GF doesn’t just make a pokemon that you can’t beat. Look for ways to beat them. Okay let’s say that you keep losing to…. Landorous T. Get an Ice Type like Mamoswine and have something to prepare for stealth rocks. Defog maybe? As for crits, get a pokemon that can use lucky chant.

          • No ground type gets defog that’s useful enough to take a slot
            And just st to prove a point
            I hit monotype and guess what I got
            Water my absolute worst matchup on the draw

          • Okay, well lots of ground types get rapid spin which does the same thing + damage. And as for monotype, yeah… pokemon have weaknesses. That’s how the game works. What if you ran mono electric? You would be mad about ground types.

          • And now a fucking Scizor two shots Garchomp and walks away with a clean pinsir sweep because everything just topples with bad luck
            Face it I have bad luck

          • For your information I’ve been cycling from OU NU LC and Mono, and everyone uses the same crap, and it’s just been bad luck, seriously do you know how fucking annoying it is to deal with a Liepard or Mesprit switching in and out, and all the Water Monos are unbeatable unless you can break them but fat chance because Water has Gyarados which once it Megas your done

          • Ok.. but you don’t get it. You aren’t learning from your losses. The opponent had 1000 weak spots in your team. Instead of getting angry, look at the replay and see what you could’ve done differently and what you could change about your team and strategy.

          • FYI I rewatching every match for not
            Yeah I’ll just change up my mono ground that it can counter water
            There’s no way, you can’t because Water beats every counter, there are zero Electric moves you can use that actually work outside Special Nidoking
            Torterra just dies to Ice which nearly water type carries and that’s it, nothing works unless the opponent is a scrub

          • Well that’s just the nature of mono, Of course alot of the match is determined by type match up. But as for the other tiers, this applies greatly. If you are having trouble with mono, just stop playing that tier.

          • I stopped playing mono because I was so afraid to lose
            But now I just lose in every other tier because of bad luck, hax and overall misfortune

          • I must never stop, I must keep fighting until I win, because to go home crying means they all won
            Am I’m so beyond sick of losing

  21. And after getting 4 successful Superpower Malamar boosts some Hitmonchan waltz in and gets a crit Drain Punch…. What did I do to deserve so much bad luck

  23. Earthen.. Maybe you should consult smogon a little bit. I used to be against it but it really does help. They know what they are talking about. Just make your modifications for your style afterwards like I do. Also, if you’re using monotype teams or a team with more than 3 Pokemon of the same weakeness then that could be your problem. Also, if your pokemon are majority slow, and you have nothing to slow down your opponent.. another potential problem.

    Reply

    • I consulte smogon all the time
      I’ve read hundreds of pages on team building and management
      I’ve fought the meta nearly for two years straight and learnt what nearly every Pokemon is capable of and their stat and set builds,
      There is not much you can do for Ground Types in ways of countering direct weaknesses, and to be fair only two of my Pokemon are slow but that does not change the meta, the meta is nothing more then robots running the same builds and running the same moves. You know every Ferrothorn is packing Stealth rock leech seed, thunderwave/gyro ball/power whip, you know all Azumarill know Aqua Jet and Waterfall,
      The meta is systematically against me because it’s full of Legends and Megas that are very difficult to counter unless you have their direct weakness and that it also survives their counter
      Like all electric teams run bulky Zapdos, TWave slinging Thundurus and the most common bitch of them all Wash Rotom, which completely negate their weakness and have access to the HP Ice with kills

      You sound like you know very little

      Reply

      • Well like the new Pokemon Master Wolfe said.. . More or less.. If you want to win you have to accept the way things are. Implement and prepare to counter what you know you will see. Otherwise accept losing. I’ve had good success with really out there teams.. but only because my pokemons typings vary so much and I countered what I knew was popular. I’ve become a little more “generic” because it was too much setup for me personally to not get bored of it.

        For you I suggest thunder waving.. power increasing moves.. healing… Definitely stealth rock because your pokemon def can. There can be fun in all playing styles.

          • And not for fucking nothing you’re using world’s as a defense
            The whole thing was who could use Primals and Mega Ray better

          • Wow… Really all ground!?
            Listen.. I suggest you Pick your Top 3 Favorite.. and Drop the rest for support pokemon. The 3 you choose can have moves like Wish, Heal Bell, Sticky Web, Reflect, Light Screen, Tailwind, Healing Wish.. and should likely all be relatively fast.
            This way you can Still be a Ground Specialist. ..
            I imagine a modern Gym Leader or a Real one would play similarly.

          • Tell me your go to non mono team.
            I can’t really help with Mono.. if a typing has a problem.. it just does. Your mono team has 4 times weakness to water.. common typing especially with greninja.
            Sticky web Galvantula lead may help.

          • …. How am I to know you meant meta…. You’re using a mono type ground team that’s not meta at all…. -,-

          • There’s a meta FOR EVERYTHING
            nearly every devision has a greatly detailed and extensive range of Pokemon in use and after all the time
            I could easily run down everything from OU to NU and tell you what the common builds and what to expect

          • Well Earthen.. you seem to be the expert on meta know and yet you still can’t get a good win ratio with a Ground focus. You’ve cut the pokemon you’re willing to use into a small fraction for this team. So maybe it’s just not possible. I don’t see how my suggestions weren’t useful regardless. It’s common sense what I said.. you’re being stubborn. If I give a non meta suggestion you can correct me.. but it doesn’t make the rest less useful.
            But again I don’t think you will find a winning ground team. I’d like to know your other team.. but up to you

          • First of all I’ve been doing a lot of everything with different teams
            I was just explaining how bad a position Ground Types are in today’s Mono, we have no special attackers or support that doesn’t get instantly totaled by the special sweepers
            And second my teams runs very well but just not against the legions of op legends and Megas but unfortunately there is no non legends ladder
            And today was ungodly unlucky, I don’t know if I ever lost so much in today’s slew of pain

          • Well yes.. as I’ve said.. a Ground type team just can’t win. I don’t think blaming it on legends or meta is the way to go either. Removing them won’t remove the water weakness, no special attackers, weak to special sweepers you’ve just mentioned. Easier to handle, yes, but odds are they would still fall. Each typing has its flaws.. this is just what ground types have to deal with.
            Personally I would focus on my Mixed team. 3 ground, 3 Variety with a few of those moves I mentioned above. That’s closest you’ll get to satisfying your winning ground type needs I believe. Up to you though

          • Yeah I can’t blame a Latios for having Ice Beam and being faster then me
            Or Mew for having Willowisp
            Or mega Gyarados for having Dragon Dance and Mold Breaking my Water Absorb, or Wash Rotom to fire Hydro Pump and spamming Pain Split, or Thundurus Grass Knotting or HP ice my Garchomp
            Or the constant Mega Venusaurs and Gengar making Poison monos a nightmare instead of a pleasant slaughter

            I can’t blame that everyone runs the same shitty carbon copy builds and getting away with it,

            That nearly every mega is better then the ones I got

          • Excadrill
            Garchomp
            Mamoswine
            Galvantula – Sticky Web
            ___
            ?Starmie – Reflect, Light Screen (water type)
            ?Umbreon- Wish

            Would this fit your tier or whatever? It’s fast and covers your weaknesses.
            Plus your ground types already have stealth rock and rapid spin and ice priority.

          • … Well that’s more stubbornness. It’s the right track if you want to win with your favorites. Plus I’m sure it fits your tiers or whatever

          • You have no clue
            Alright when you see a team consisting of Heatran, Ferrothorn, Scizor, Doublade, Jirachi, and Skarmory what is going to happen

          • Probably more than with your former mono team.. if you don’t like it.. change it. I think Galvantula is a good fit though. Electric will help with your water weakness too. I think you’re more comfortable complaining about why you lose then trying to actually win with changes. Maybe you’re afraid you will lose even if you modify. Maybe wait til next gen for more options, I don’t know. Point is.. a Ground type team Wont win and you know it. No point in complaining I say :/

          • Well yes.. anyone would use a fire type.. but I Always have one..
            I was going to pick from my gen 6 team only though.. Noivern, and Talonflame.

          • But no I don’t do the typical tiers I thought you just wanted a good team for normal battles or anything goes I suppose they call it. So yes someone else could help.

          • You shouldn’t because it’s been proven that regular Garchomp outclasses M. Garchomp because the dropped speed was its greatest undoing

            Do you honestly know anything about the current meta

          • . . . They are both in the same tier. You’re using a monotype team… Which is not meta at all. One where speed seems to not be a priority. Would assume you at least go for power. Either way… Incorporating a Mega would help.

  24. I guarantee.. if Ash-Greninja Really is in game Sun n Moon.. it will Finally make Water Shuriken useful.. well more useful. Depending on who you ask..
