Woop woop~
Let’s get this party started right~
I’m really hoping we get to see the starter evolutions omg
So far which starter are you guys and girls picking? Mines going to be Rowlett! Love that baby owl!
Litten <3
Popplio but won’t let him turn mermaid.
So, if the leaks are real, ur not letting him evolve even once?
Once probably yes, more than that really unlikely.
didnt u see the mid evo ‘leak’? It will turn girly immediately
NO I haven’t. Really???? Where can I find them?
pokejungle posted the rumoured ‘leaks’ a couple of post back
Litten master race.
I approve this Message.
If the leaks are real Rowlet. If not I dunno
Just looking at their basic forms I’d choose Rowlet
I just feel like no matter what he evolves into they just can’t ruin the design it’s just so perfect in my opinion.
Well they should keep it an owl. In the leaks it looks like some kind of sparrow and that would be a bummer 🙁
Yea a bit too slender but compared to the other two it’s by far the best aesthetically
its pretty much the only contender for a LOOOOOOOT of people if the leaks are real
I always but two games and I plan on playing moon first and Rowlett will be used on that playthrough and then popplio on the second but if the leaks are real I really hope that it’s final form is has a massive gender difference. I’m all for elegant pokemon but for a starter to be that feminine makes me think the leaks might be real.
Rowlet, it wouldve been a close race with Litten, but the evo is probably real, so.
Honestly, even if the final evo isn’t what has been leaked, I’m picking Popplio either way. I just really hope “Entermaid” is what Popplio becomes later on. So majestic.
Litten. But really hoping it’s not gonna turn fire/fighting
If the leaked starter evos are real I’m going to drop mine starter (litten) for a pyukumuku
Hoping for something good, starters evo would be neat but not holding out for that. Maybe another big guardian poke and its trainer. But more overall gameplay would be great.
I’ve been waiting a long time for this. I hope it’s worth it!
Masuda be hyping dis!!! I’m SO EXCITED!!!!! lol
it better be good
Inb4 It’s just the trailer form February lol
I want my alolan electabuzz.
well guys this is it,the moment of truth,couple of hours left and we’re going to see the ultimate Direct,some more info on Pokemon Sun and Moon Info and my belly is full of butterflies! XD
Couple of hours? The direct starts in less than and hour! lol
haha true: 35 minutes
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
A few hours? I thought it starts at 9:30.
I don’t know where you live and what time it’s there but it starts in half an hour 🙂
Thanks! So it would start at 10:00 AM EST for me. Thanks! 😀
10 am EDT
It starts in 33 minutes.
16h Central European time.
whoopwhoop
Ur Avatar is beyond adorable
ahw thanks!
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
When the final countdown gets real! xD
Pokemon Episode 40: Zygarde VS Zygarde -The Breaking World, 8/10
– One of the most epic, greatest, and most plot heavy episodes to an easily amazing arc! Not only that, but this episode is one of the rare occasions where the anime somehow paints the villainous team to be much more menacing, powerful, and influential than the game. Every character from the champion(s), side characters, rivals, to supporting cast contributed to the plot and the episode moved at breakneck pace and 30 minutes seemed to fly by in a mere 5 minutes! After the disappointment of Alain VS Ash, the Team Flare arc redeemed XYZ.
Less than a half hour away 😀
Oh Boy! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I can’t waiiiiittt!!!
Hey 😀 do still want the ditto?
Yes I do 🙂 do you want it back after I’m done? And FC please 🙂 Mine’s 5172-0254-0531 Jamie
Woah what we have the same name
No you can keep it 🙂 it’s a spare one.
FC is 2509 3682 8399
ok, then let me catch something real quick, and I added you :3
Any random will do 🙂 In-game name is Yuuki
Alright thanks 🙂 Oh, in case you are wondering, my FS is Fire with Charmeleon, Growlithe, and Fletchinder :3
Cool!. Can’t remember what mine was.. Haven’t played X for a while.. I think it was Flying
But but but.. what if they don’t show anything pokemon at all..
1.New Pokemon
2. New Alolan Pokemon
3. Gen 7 Starter’s Evos
Which one will be Showed 1st!?
New Pokemon, then evos, the Alola forms, then some crazy thing no one expected, then indie games…. So many indie games…
Dude, we dont even know if they will reveal something about pokemon… Maybe they won’t talk about it, just calm down.
ok i will try.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
(pls show us the starters evos pls pls pls) thanks xD
Yes pls show us the starters evos pls pls pls XD
So how long are these videos usually?
More than half a hour, maybe.
i thought i saw somewhere its supossed to be 52 minutes long
Oh, i like that.
Ah right, Ive just never actually watched these before, usually just wait for coverage afterwards.
Looks like you can’t wait for the coverage.
Haha, I’m just the second awake with nothing much else to do and I’m a little curious. Just good timing. 😛
Would they show Gigawrecker?
Wasn’t that trademark just for the TCG deck?
No it’s a game with a girl that has an arm that can change into different tools. It’s kinda similar to a mega man game
Bismuth the game?
I guess it ends in permadeath? 😉
D:
Sorry, just couldn’t resist. 😛
I can’t wait for this direct! Does anyone know if Pokemon Sun/Moon news will be revealed?
Nope, we’re all blind.
Darn!
I’m pretty sure there will be something on Sun/Moon as it’s a 3DS Direct and Sun/Moon is probably the biggest game the 3DS have coming up. Just nto sure whether it will be new news..
Yeah I think that too.
I will honestly be surprised if we don’t get Pokemon news. They have always been saying “You’ll get your news at this date” but they haven’t
Still, it’s pretty coincidental that Nintendo France tweeted about the starter evolutions…
Yhap, maybe they’re teasing us. I hope so.
Yeah, it’s the most anticipated 3DS game for most people, they’ll at least throw us a bone, even if it’s just a tiny clip.
I doubt they’d not give any news, Pokemon Sun/Moon is the biggest game coming out this year. *Colour Splash, Go, and irrelevant japanese games stare intensely* hehe, that is biggest Poke–Pokemon Go growls – biggest 3ds pokemon game!
9 more minutes leeeeft!
Oh boy, I hope with this hype they’ll give us something.
Instead, we’ll just get:
“Paper Mario joins the Pokemon gang in Paper Mario: pokemon Jam! Just like Paper Jam except with pokemon!”
I think the biggest argument for starter evolutions today is that this is a big video event, not just a trailer. The last time they did this (if I remember correctly) they revealed sun and moon as a whole. That’s huge news then. What can they have that ranks similarly to that reveal? starter evolutions, the biggest, most time consumed Pokemon in the designing process, the most memorable of every generation.
Plus I’m really excited cuz a reveal like that will confirm/ debunk so many leaks. It would be nice if the jungle had a follow up article that detailed what leaks are still possibly true and which ones were proven false today!
well i really hope that they’re real.
We still don’t have an estimated time? I just need it to be less than 35 minutes.
Japanese Direct is supposedly 42 minutes
Well that sucks. I’ll have to watch the end on my phone as I run out the door.
5 more minuty minutes!
I need it to start. I’m going to have to put my phone away soon and actually do school
Oh poor you!!
I wish I was sick today instead of yesterday for this direct. I do have art club today though so that’s nice
Good Luck on that!!
unicorn pokemon pleaaaaaase
Fairy/Steal Pokemon?
Omg yes
ummm yeah why not , or maybe a fairy flying pegasus/unicorn
That would be a cool Ground/Fairy split evolution for Mudsbray.
Evolves into mudsdale at level 35 or unicorn Pokemon when used with a dawn stone
Unicorns are more slender though. And going from brown > white would be a bit drastic
I’m thinking more white and brown, kind of a like one of those vanilla chocolate swirl ice cream cones.
I’d be interested in seeing art for it. The ground typing would be kinda weird though. I feel like a unicorn should be pure fairy
It could be more elegant looking and it could be when you breed it with a Sylveon.
You could argue that Rapidash is a unicorn
Also Keldeo
ALOLAN RAPIDASH
Zebstriker too. :3
He’s a zebra though
They’ve both got that lightning horn though.
I think they’re just ears
Two ‘lightning’ horns. Unicorns have one horn hence the name ‘uni’
OMG yes! One that can only be caught and trained by someone PURE OF HEART!!
Ideas for Pokemon:
– Volcanic Insect Pokemon
– Ice/FIre Pokemon
– Pony-Unicorn-Alicorn Evolutionary Pokemon
– Rabbit Pokemon, Normal/Ground
– Armadillo Pokemon, Rock/Ground.
– Cloud Pokemon – Water/Ice
we already have a Normal/Ground rabbit in Gen 6 hehe but I like the other ideas. We could have a cloud trio: Flying/Water, Flying/Electric and Flying/Ice
We already have the rabbit Pokemon
“Volcanic insect”
-Looks at Volcarona-
We literally already have a normal/ground rabbit pokemon
Hopefully I get to see my baby Rowlet evolve #TeamRowlet
Preparing myself mentally to get disappointed. Anyone else?
i really don’t know how to feel about it
OMG!
I’m with you buddy
Holding out hope for flying type alolan diglett in a cloud
It’s 10 am!
BILL?!
OMG
Is that the girl from e3?
OOOOOOOOOOOOH BOY
It has a mustache.
Panquake…?
just that?
Pulverizing Pancake! LOL
Whelp that’s it hahahahaha
Alola Ratata revealed, Normal/Dark and its the reason for Yungoos in Alola
Yep, Mario Maker 3DS. Pretty neat!
Alola Rattata and special Z-moves exclusive to certain mons? Interesting 🙂
lmao that’s all we get? Alolan Ratata and exclusive Z-moves. Still no “new” fucking dark types UGH.
MARIO MAKER 3DS?,
My stream keeps freezing
What the hell even are Z-moves?! There are more than just the 18 types??
Not gonna lie, I love Alola Ratata, might even use it
Wow that was so underwhelming
Well it WAS a Nintendo Direct….not a Pokemon Direct lol
Are we sure that was all?
It wouldn’t make sense for them to split it up in anyway. If they were going to show anything else it would have been when they talked about Pokemon the first time.
Still watching the entire thing to be sure
Ok so we got two main things from this. Dark Ratatta and special Z stone that are meant for specific Pokemon. Two more point towards the leaks lol
Man, this could be a huge Direct if they just underwhelmingly announced a (technically) new Mario game at the beginning.
Anywhere have updated images? Got here late, didn’t see stream :/ and serebii hasn’t updated last I checked
The image of rattata is on serebii now.
Wait so thats it? Just Alola Ratata and new Z-moves? Bin Nintendo
It’s not a Pokemon Direct, unfortunately…
Keep refreshing the official site
I got on the stream in perfect timing and then both my DSL and cellular service shit out on me. 🙁
wait, and pokemon company need to reveal their own trailer, wait for it brothers
Omg NO, just make a new damn animal crossing. Forget the stupid amiibo cards
What people wanted: starter evos *o*
What people got: alolan rattata (dark-type) -.-
Animal Crossing Mini Direct?
WHAT?????
Elite rustle by GF tbh. Everybody’s expecting starter evos and they give us a dark rodent.
Don’t pretend there’s any promises.
I hope alolan raticate looks good. I just might use it
rattata?
Yeah. I like its design, Persian will probably be better though
Raticate is what ratattat evolves into. If you’re using the first form of a Pokemon, typically you’ll end up using its final form
UGHHH MY PHONE WONT STREAM FOR MORE THEN 5 seconds
I didn’t expect they showing that at the beginning ….so I missed the show…did they show pic or video?
pokemon trailer guys
Wat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsTuHGpLJfM
MY EARS ARE BLEEDING FROM THE PIKACHU BECAUSE MY VOLUME WAS ALL THE WAY UP FOR SOME REASON
AHHHH I love the Alolan Rattata! Its in-game-model is so cute <3
I thought the Snorlax design will change ….wat the point making him special then?
maybe just old Snorlax (from RBY) can do that
at their channel
Well at the very least we’ll probably still get a big trailer mid month for whatever the Rockruff news is lol
The music for this tank game is weird.
Don’t like whistling? lol
Just not what I’d expect from a tank game, but hey, that’s Nintendo for you.
Does anybody else hate picross?
Well I’m ambivalent towards it. 🙂
Glad I preordered S/M the day after reveal. I actually like Munchlax and Snorlax
Ok so dark ratatatatat looks fucking amazing. I was literally just saying this morning how raticate is the best regional rodent and today I was proven right. I can’t wait to see Alolan raticate now
THOSE AMIIBOS SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Too bad I lost my wifi motion plus controller. I would’ve gotten skyward sword
Not gonna lie….I hate the space cover 3DS….it looks ugly to me
Skyward Sword now downloadable on Wii U E-shop
I LOVE this 8-bit Spirit Tracks overworld remix.
I wonder how much longer people are going to continue to doubt the Chinese leaks after Ratata
They were basically accurate on everything except Alola Ninetales’s typing
What was it?
Fire/fairy….but whatever close enough lol
It was Fire/Fairy in the Chinese leaks
I dont know, if we should believe or not…
Plus I believe they and the subsequent leaks mentioned special Z stone that are specific for certain Pokemon
Where can i find them?
Well not what I expected but I absolutely love Alolan Ratata
There’s a second chance for European XY/ORAS players to get event Darkrai. Input the code ”Darkrai2016” in Mystery Gift if you don’t have it yet.
OMG is the mew event still going?
Expired yesterday for North America unfortunately. I dont know about Europe since I already got mine.
Nooooooo I missed it!?
You should really have a look on Serebii’s event Pokemon page. It shows when every event starts and when it ends.
I usually do but I’ve been so busy lately and the only reason I remotely remembered is because of your earlier comment. Gotta start putting this stuff on my phone calendar lol
Well Victini event ends on the 24th and then October 1st starts Keldeo until October 24th. Then 1 month nothing and December 1st starts Meloetta.
Ok thanks for the info Aqualate.
The Darkrai2016 code expires on November 30 btw
I’m going to get that as soon as I get home. Then I’ll check serebii and but in the dates of the events
There’s two more Wi-Fi events left I think. Keldeo in October and Meloetta in December.
Victini event started yesterday by the way, in case you didn’t know yet.
Thanks I’ll have to remember to get this one at least
Mystery Gift>get via internet
well i guess the rumour that i posted earlier was true , looking forward to bayonetta X.
What rumor is that?
THIS ONE
Hello, somebody i know and i trust just sent me a mail .
In this mail she told me that 2 games should be unveiled in todays Nintendo Direct. She also said that this direct is rather special and worth watching.I trust her cause i know she has a certain post in a certain company in relation with Nintendo.I know that this seems completely dumb and misleading but eh .
She also said that :
Bayonetta X has just started development
Luigis Mansion might get delayed
A new pokemon game has also just started development and its a never before seen pokemon game genre
A lot of games are being made for NX, and some of them have QOL built into them ( dk what thats all about)
NX reveil won’t be in september
Nintendo is about to acquire a new American gaming studio as 2nd party
EA doesn’t seem to be on board this time around neither.
Lots of ports are being produced
Amiibo are a very integral part of the NX
Splatoon 2 is also being developed and pikmin 4 has been shelved till NX releases
No words on retro studios new game as they have encountered lots of development issues and are still struggling to meet their deadline , retro has also been working on a game for 3ds
That is all I’ve been told, remember that none of this is confirmed and that it all could be BS .I was skeptical about posting this but thought that if the direct did indeed deliver what I’ve been told it would then posting the rest of the infos would be irrelevant as no one would then believe me.
How does the Direct prove this real?
not completely real but there was 2 games newly revealed.
I don’t think that’s good enough proof lol
I’m just hoping for a new bayonetta …
Japanese Trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt-4Hef90VA
It feels like they’re just doing this Direct out of courtesy. It’s hard to get excited about anything they’re talking about.
SNORLAX IS GOING ON MY TEAM JUST SO I CAN WATCH THE Z-MOVE CUT SCENE THING REPEATEDLY I’M DYING AT IT
SMT4
So Z stones end with -ium and Mega stones end with -ite. That’s cool.
-ium Z
Oh no.. Milotic’s probably gonna have a Milotium Z instead of a Milotite T.T
Well what if it gets a Mega instead of a unique Z move… 😉
Yesssss I would much rather have a Mega Milotic
Teehee
YESSSS!
Wait, that Yarn Yoshi game is running on a 3DS? Damn
Ok, now we need to wait for Corocoro.
Yeah I would say our typical monthly update that usually has a ton of info was just pushed a little later into the month and we’ll get a big trailer around CoroCoro
Aww Ever Oasis looks awesome and amazing and beauiful <3 I just wish they revealed more than the year for the release date, but I don't mind all that much.
Is that all for SM? Just curious
Yes but there will probably be new info somewhere mid-September and dont forget Corocoro in 10 days or so.
Mario Sports Superstars
Pikmin – sidescrolling 🙂
Pikmin? Never played it
Pikmin for 3DS!! <3
OMG The 3DS is getting a lot of very good titles. Compared to Wii U…
3ds was always the better system anyways
Best Direct Ever XD
A bold statement… 🙂
I also like the (pre-release) Smash 4 Direct or E3 2014 Direct.
^v^ Yeah.
Rip my dreams
2017: The year of Wii U has failed, put all the games on 3DS.
That’s basically what it is. They saw that the games sold relatively poorly and now they’re jumping ship so they can try and save them before the NX comes out lol
Was kinda hoping for Mario Galaxy 3D
Well it was a direct. It wasn’t bad it wasn’t good. it was just what it was. I don’t think anyone has anything in particular to be mad about. In any event we still have Pokemon news coming in about a week and a half so that will be good stuff lol
Hmm, the free Munchlax does Happy Hour.
Next article anyone?
Snorlax gets more and more pumped each gen… from lying down in Gen 1, to sitting up, all the way to standing in Gen 6. And now it’s angry…
Next news the sixth
I know it’s OT but am I really so crazy that i already beat the Mii Race game?
