X — EVAN
I feel like they didn’t really know how to make interesting characters for their E4 until gen 3… Still like Karen and Will a bit though 🙂
I actually REALLY like Karen.
She actually gave me my motto for training Pokemon that I still use today:
“Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.”
Karen is the best, hands down.
That motto is one of the best in the series!
Feel that. I don’t care about base stats. If I like what a Pokémon looks like or if I like its typing, I’ll use it. Especially since I don’t play competitively.
Good motto in spirit but that is severely shat upon in today’s cutthroat meta
That works fine for the main game, but it falls down in contests.
Not unless you have bred them to be competitive! 😉
I have a team of some of my favorites, an all female team, that I bred for competition. Actually, they are the first competitive Pokemon I’ve ever raised, and they do quite well in both Singles and Doubles. ^+^
Gliscor
Togekiss
Lanturn
Froslass
Charizard
Lucario
<3
That’s fine for you, but what about all those people who like non-final forms and pokemon with bad type matchups like Ice/Rock?
No need to tell me about competition, I have boxes full of 5 IV pokemon, and a couple of 6 IVs.
I think it’s funny that people responding to this talk like playing the meta game is the only way to play Pokémon.
It’s not the only way, but after completing the main story there’s not much else to do in most cases.
Except the battle facilities, but the AI is either predictable or unintelligent.
Not saying you don’t, but I know I a lot of people who play Pokémon irl and most play and do different stuff. I know people who just replay the main story. I know people who try to do every little post-game content there is. I know people who focus on the PokéDex, I know people who play Smogon style meta, and someone who just plays online casually. While some of the most hardcore fans overlap with a number of these, in my experience most people don’t do EVERYTHING EVER POSSIBLE with Pokémon. They just do their thing.
I could never imagine throwing away my pokemon and restarting, I get too attached to the memories and my trainer ID.
I do all the after story stuff but that runs thing after a while to the point where farming items, IV training and competative battling is pretty much all that remains.
Never tried online simulations, but that’s pretty much the only thing apart from entering a public official competition and getting involved with the TCG that I haven’t tried.
Same here she’s the reason I train with my favorites. Regardless of how “conventional” they may be.
As much as I love Psychic types, Will’s second for me. It’s definitely Karen. Hands down.
My vote would be for Will with Karen second. I love his masquerade look.
As much as I like Karen, I have to side with Will because he appreciates crevats and waistcoats.
I don’t give a flying crap about these guys
What E4 people do you like?
Bruno
Sidney
Bertha
Marshal
Wikstrom
Who the hell is marshal
Oh yeah, that fighting guy whose hair is ugly
Exactly
Took me a second
Unova elite 4
The Unova E4 were forgettable.
Except maybe Caitlyn cause she was a frontier brain. Grimsley wasn’t bad
They’ve got decent designs, I still forgot about them though.
Something tells me Caitlin would have been Fairy type if they’d had it earlier.
Well Bruno’s in this E4! Luckily from now on you like at least one of the candidates
He was good for Kanto but I’m not one for repeat appearances
Karen. Do I need to say more?
This is what fan art should look like!
Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !m225d:
On tuesday I got a great new Land Rover Range Rover from having earned $8752 this last four weeks.. Its the most-financialy rewarding I’ve had.. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it

I don’t like her because she doesn’t look like a dark type trainer. She looks more like an electric, normal, or flying type trainer
eh she looks totally like a dark trainer. Shes the ORIGINAL Dark Master. Grimsley who?
I like that she’s breaking stereotypes.
It’s what is in the inside that counts.
I’m sorry but that’s sort of simplistic. Just because of colour palette?
I remember first artwork of Karen and her first sprite, gold and silver ones. And those depictions, while different from the newest (HG SS) share something in common: her attitude and expression. Decisive, crafty and elusive. It is, for me, one of the most underrated, even wasted character concepts in pokemon. That’s what I think characterizes her as a Dark trainer.
Also amazed of the combination that gives her so much personality: she wears strange clothing, shaggy, comfortable, almost tropical in both arts (old and new). Gives her a very particular vibe in contrast with her ferocious expression. A shame that she hasnt been given a bit more of complexity and weight in the games.
She has a little yellow and that makes her electric type?
Going with my girl Karen. First dark type trainer, her rematch team is awesome, and do I even need to mention her great quote when you face her?
Very tough decision for me between Koga and Karen. While I’m not even a big fan of Poison types, I love Koga’s team. Dark type is my 3rd favourite typing, so Karen is obvious.
Same here but I’m going to have to also go with Karen. I love dark types and that coupled with the the fact that she is an umbreon trainer seals my vote.
So I finally watched the latest episode of XYZ….
My words are failing me,
I actually had to hold back some tears…. I thought I used them all up but… There they are…
By far, one of the best episodes in many years. <3
I honestly cannot wait to see what happens next week.
*its super effective*
Gotta go with Karen! (even tho i cant vote due to non of my browsers letting me)
Have you tried safari?
i dont use safari. windows version is kinda bad
I never use it either, just if I want to vote
People actually use Safari?
I hope not
Also, I gave up on my white 2 quest for cresselia and am now just going to try on OR. I wasn’t aware the shiny chance was doubled between gen 5 and 6
Good idea.
And it always pays to check the mechanics.
If I hadn’t checked how IVs work I’d have been struggling to breed for IVs 😛
OR is much easier anyway because Cresselia is on a fairly easy to reach island.
Yeah, I just need it to appear now haha. Of course it didn’t today. All well, that gives me time to actually move forward in W2. I’m after that shiny dratini from Benga.
The more passersby you get the more likely it is to appear. I think it has a higher precedance for transference than the main islands, but I could be wrong.
Unfortunately today the buzznav isn’t throwing me any bones
You’ll have it within the week.
When I first started doing the island thing I’m sure I got crescent isle almost every other day in the first week (before the rings were actually appearing).
I use safari
Yikes. Rarer than a shiny pokemon.
Yeah, they really need to fix that.
Firefox & Chrome on Windows are the two most popular browser combinations.
I had to log into Safari to vote?!?!
For the first time, I am impartial.
Guess I’ll go with Karen, cos she’s the first Dark Type specialist. Kind of sad that she never used a Tyranitar.
Yeah :/ I wonder why they gave her Vileplume instead of Sneasel as well.
The early E4s followed themes rather than types.
In a way I prefer the idea of not making the E4 type specialists. I think the game would be tougher if the E4 and gym leaders didn’t specialise in a single type.
I think that would be a good idea as well. Or, at the very least, if the E4 and Champion didn’t. Like Cynthia was great because her team is so diverse. You can’t really spam one pokemon to win.
Yeah. Trainers are tougher when they don’t specialise.
That was one of the reasons I liked Pokemon Colosseum/XD as well, the villains teams were quite mixed. Some had 3 pokemon with 1 type in common and the other 2 were different, but some had them all different, like Venus.
They used their pokemon because they were strong, not because they had a favourite type.
That game was hard.
I remember struggling with it a lot more wiht Colosseum than I did with the main games.
I didn’t actually complete it the year I got it. I got stuck because I couldn’t find the train key after defeating Lady Venus (which itself took me many attempts).
I came back to it several years later and spotted the key instantly. I’d been confusing the sparkle of the item for a dripping pipe all that time XD
I have still not beaten it my team is if what I remember
Umbreon
Flygon
(I forgot the rest) I’ll look on my GameCube
I have
Umbreon
Flygon
Mantine
Hitmontop
Furret
Sneasel
At reaglam tower.
Dropping Espeon was a mistake, Umbreon and Espeon should be kept as a pair to use them to their full potential.
Flygon, Hitmontop and Sneasel are good though.
Koga for he is the Legendary Ninja
https://twitter.com/RealShigeruM/status/774001714852536325
When is CoroCoro supposed to be out?
Hopefully soon.. But I think it should be within the next 2-3 days hopefully.
I’m not saying leaked, I’m saying out, like officialy 😉
The 15th 🙂
“Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best. I like your style. You understand what’s important. Go on — — the Champion is waiting.”
Karen wins
My team is mostly all my favorites with a few oddballs in but of what I’ve heard from my friend who plays competitive they are really good!
Karen johto not HGSS
My love for Karen runs deeper than blood. I wish she was a much more prominent character than just being an Elite Four and had a large role in the games. She’s one of those people that speaks for a reason and doesn’t concern herself with nonsensical gibberish. And for that, I respect and love her. My vote goes to Karen and Will comes in close second because his character design and characteristics are top notch as well.
Nice to see such good feelings for Karen. I feel the same about her. Such innovative, elegant and ferocious character concept that got wasted.
On the other hand her figure will have something sort of mythological, since it will never be completely known. Absence of a clear rounded and known life sort of “divinizes” her.
Victreebell or Luxray for my next Y playthrough? I love both and can’t choose.
I’ve never used victreebell, but I have used Lucrative and I can say it’s great lol
Depends on what your team is. I have used both, and while I do prefer Luxray, VIctreebel is pretty nice too
Charizard
Lapras
Pangoro
Aegislash
Garchomp
Victreebell or Luxray
I’m thinking Luxray 🙂
Luxray!
Leaning toward Luxray. I haven’t used one in so long
Neither
Well I already have a ground type so I hope I’ve pleased you on a most basic level
I say Victreebell
Poison would be helpful for stupid fairies
Ultron Wanna battle I really need a battle in ORAS!!!
Hm… I have no experience with competitive battling so you’d likely win
Oh ok
I could maybe give it a shot if you want
Ok need my FC? It’s
0748-2900-2536
IGN: Alex
0173-1523-2707
Let me get a team together out of my box real quick
The Tournament started let’s do it later
Okie dokie
Definitely Karen as she’s not only the kind of trainer I am as far as picking Pokemon, but also she’s a babe lol
P.S. anyone see this? (RF)
Looks like Tai from Digimon.
you would too if you had spiky hair and goggles.
I never seen that before but it does raise an idea that never occurred to me
What if some Rockruff’s Neck Stones could be jewels, or it’s simply holding a Z-Crystal
Maybe this dope could be Ash’s next traveling partner in Alola
Yeah I could see that. Id guess that but the end of the weekend well have a better idea of what that purple thing is. It could very well be nothing special for all we know lol
If this kid took over the anime I wouldn’t mind. Too bad he won’t though
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cr2mY81WYAArAmR.jpg
I hate the attack helicopter meme so much
More or less than Hitler memes?
Well Hitler memes aren’t really as cancerous as these kinds of memes.
Why?
Idk, I don’t want to get too SJW-ey in here
Well, 6 million dead jews, that’s all I’m saying.
No, I’m not denying that Hitler was freaking awful. It’s just personally, those memes annoy me for other reasons
I just think it’s weird that people can be fine hitler memes trivialising the holocaust and still get upset at the attack helicopter joke. Both trivialise what would otherwise be serious matters but people almost always get more offended at one than the other.
That says a lot about modern culture.
Personally I don’t get offended at either since they’re both intended as jokes and don’t reflect people’s actual opinions. If people were legitimately worshipping Hitler or something it’d be different.
Well I mean, IDK. I guess it’s just that the Holocause happened 80 years ago. It is something most people don’t fully understand the weight of. It is kinda the same as how no one really cares about the Crusades even though that was pretty bad too. It’s because it isn’t experienced so it is hard to completely get why it was so awful.
With attack helicopter stuff, it is just a bit closer to home for me for a number of reasons and it just just kinda annoying. While yeah, Hitler is 10000X worse than this, it is the personal connection I guess that makes it more or less bad
71-75 years ago.
Some of my family were soldiers in the conflict. My Grandad once showed me photos of where the Nazis tried to shoot at his bus but hit the wrong side and missed the drivers seat. If they’d shot the other side I wouldn’t be alive right now.
Wow, that’s crazy. Look, I really don’t want you to get me wrong here. The holocaust really was one of the worst things that has happened in human history. The fact that humans have done these things to other humans is awful. That is a huge understatement. Like, I know. It is serious. It is just easier for others to joke about, they may not be right in doing so, but it is easy for them.
And yeah, attack helicopter jokes are like getting poked to the holocaust’s getting the titanic dropped on your head. It is just certain things affect people more than others.
And mom’s response is “So many Christians died too” well I think the Hews hold that favor in this
To be fair loads of soldiers of many nations died, but the jews get the focus because of the circumstances in which they died.
My Brother idolizes Hitler
Like…. Ironically? Please be ironic
He values his vast militaristic regime and bringing German’s economic growth and some other historical junk
Everyone does good things and bad things, nobody is truly good or evil. I’m sure even Mother Teresa had a bad side.
Except for Marmite, Marmite is evil in a jar.
So like, he respects his leadership skills? Like, he knows the whole genocide part is bad right? Like I can understand that. The fact that Hitler was able to get people to do terrible things like that is impressive and a few other things. He was a great leader, but a terrible murderer too
Some psychologists (under the guidance of Stanley Milgram) did an experiment once proving that in some countries most people when put under a situation where they believed they were administering pain to someone would keep going because they were ordered to do so, despite knowing it was wrong.
It’s known as the Milgram experiment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
Interestingly the results vary by coutry though, proving obedience to authority in spite of morality is something cultural.
P.S. My qualification in Psychology wasn’t a total waste.
It was very interesting experiment, with interesting results. Definitely one of my fave experiments to learn about 🙂
Yeah, the scary bit is the implication that people who never thought they’d go through with it went through with it because of fear of authority.
I don’t know if that means there’s something deeply flawed in our societies or if it’s a good thing because obedient people are more likely to obey the law. After all, morals don’t always match what the law says.
I was hoping to find figures for the differences between countries, but couldn’t find any. I’m fairly certain places like Japan and America were high, but I can’t remember any of the lower places. I’ve got a feeling the UK and Australia were reasonably low.
The best I could find is this which seems to match what I remember:
http://www.performancetrading.it/Documents/JmAbuGrahib/Images/JmA_03.gif
Indicating Britons and Australians were less likely to comply than others 😛
Occasionally in closed doors he’ll make genocide jokes
I honestly don’t care he’s always been a A-Hole
If he’s joking about it then it’s probably not that serious.
Only the genocide and 4/20 but in all seriousness he harbors a decent amount of respect for that evil bastard
Eh he’ll grow out of it.
Then again, some people still think Che Guavara was a good guy.
2016: “The gender system in Pokemon Sun and Moon under heavy scrutiny because as users complain over the game assuming their gender.”
Maybe they’re Genwunners?
This reminds me of this thing I came up with the other night
I was showing my Brother the new trailer (he really didn’t care one way or another) but I was telling him about Sampson and he immediately dismissed it as Oak in Blackface…
Then it got me thinking what if Professor Oak was African American….
“Ayo N Word welcome to da world of da Pokemans”

Who else is excited for Tomorrow?!
Fer what
The Tourney!
I thought it was today?
Could have sworn it started Tomorrow… Where is Isthme? Hasn’t been here a while
He may be working on school or the actual tourney.
Yeah on Fourums I posted asking what’s happening or if it’s postponed or canceled
Wanna battle Star?
I kinda want to keep my team a secret though. I want to but, ya know. Hopefully we’ll get paired up
Yeah I hope that too!
Anyone who’s not in the tournament want to battle I’m itching for a brawl.

Pharap wanna battle? Need a fight no one online will take me on
I would, but it would mean giving away my name because I always name the character after myself 😛 And I don’t have an account for any online simulation things.
Showdown doesnt need an account. You can just choose a name
I meant on ORAS
I’ll have to learn how to use it first, but if it’s simple enough I guess I’ll be up for it.
Seems easy enough but there are a ton of rules.
You can do “Custom Game” when you challenge him
I need to build a team anyway.
Might have a few random fights.
If I like it I might be up for battling people with it. If it’s easy enough to put in a ‘no legendaries’ clause then it should be fine.
@irvinap:disqus wanted to use online on ORAS anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
For now battling me in my real games is going to remain something I keep guarded because of the name thing 😛
I loved that show!
This is funny
& I thought ‘oh… 54 new comments. Something leaked’… Well not really, meh.
Hey wanna battle I really want a battle someone!!!!
I think it would be sad if people only ever discussed leaks and theories and didn’t diverge into different topics.
On the other hand, it would be nice to be able to do it on a proper Disqus thread so we don’t end up muddying articles with off-topic stuff 😛
Agreed agreed, but when there is 54 in a short while its very often big news, not spam 😉
Ok I’m very excited atm. I just got a lv100 shiny Dialga via Wonder Trade! 😀 😀 <3
It’s probably a GameStop reject
I got like 3 of them
Well its literally my first ever shiny legendary, so I’m still sort of happy. Its definitely going to Bank, can’t risk it losing.
whoop-dee-friggin-do
I typically trust the games more than the bank. I don’t know how well guarded their servers are or what backup techniques they have in place.
I have one too!!! Congratulations!!
It’ll be hacked sadly, but congrats anyway.
Hell yeah Karen!
Scizor! 😀 IS it a good time to discuss the drawing you want?
Yes. Sorry I’ve been busy packing for vacation. I was wondering if you could draw my trainer Dawn ( not the character from DPPt but one I came up with) obviously I would give you details on what she looks like 😛 with her team of Scizor, Crobat, Greninja, Lilligant, Beheeyem and Flareon?
Don’t worry about it 🙂 But yeah, I would totally do that! Do you have some reference drawings or anything like that for the character?
Awesome! Yeah I’ll give you a couple drawings when I get settled at our hotel and stuff tomorrow evening if that’s okay? 🙂
Yeah sure! As I said yesterday, send me an ask with the art on Tumblr if I’m not around on Pokejungle
Okay! Thank you!
Good time too battle???
Not right now 😛 I’m packing for my beach trip and don’t have time. When I get settled I would definitely be up for a battle In a few days 🙂
Bruno gets a second chance I guess. Anyway, as I’m sure all the participants know, the tourney begins today! 😀 Give me 40 mins max to finish organizing things, and I’ll make a new post on the forums with divisions and stuff. PLEASE READ THE POST, I’ll have information necessary to keep things easy. Thanks!
Ok I might not be here the whole time (Carnivals in town for the weekend mostly here in mornings!)
That’s alright, it just begins tonight, it’ll span for a while. 🙂
I also forgot if lucky at night or late night as well
Woooo! hYPED!
I was trying to train one of my two pokemon I need to train on my way to school this morning, and I realized that I forgot to put it in the PC overnight, so it got cured of Pokerus. .~. I had to do the whole thing in ST. 🙁
Do our Pokemon raise to 50 or no?
They should at least. I’m 99% sure that standard battle format does that, which is what we’re using in game.
Ok My team has a Lv. 38, 47, and 40 rest all over 50 or at it
Why didn’t you do the horde battle method?
I tried to, but I lost Pokerus. It would’ve take twice as long, and I’m actually pretty good with ST, so it’s faster that way. If I have pokerus, I use the horde method.
It still would be faster since you get 5ivs per pokemon, battles are shorter than super training and you can add EV boosting items
A pokemon cured of Pokerus keeps the EV boost. “Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the EVs it would have gained before the virus.”
Or do you mean you can’t pass it on to other pokemon now?
._. Oh well I feel stupid.
At least you know now.

“Look at this music” – Ttar Tube 2016
idk y u don like dis guy
Yeah. Pssh. I love to look at music
I just realized something. If I bred and trained my whole team in XY, but we’re playing from ORAS, if I simply trade my team over to ORAS would everything work smoothly? Sorry I haven’t played in a while.
Yeah. As long as we are all using oras we should be fine.
Yup because my Mega only works in ORAS
Same
XY mega over here.
Encountered a Dratini today in GO while walking downtown. Thats pretty rare since Dratini apparently appear the most in caves and such.
Like usual I can’t vote because it doesn’t let me click on the button so cool
Same -____-
So…. The Tourney is.. when? I need till at least 8.
It begins in like a half an hour when my post goes up. Of course, if you aren’t ready now, that’s okay, but I do ask that the competitors are ready sometime today. 🙂
Ok. I’ll be good by 8:30
I may not be able tonight not cause I’m not ready but I might be able to battle at least once tonight
I won’t be back until 8 due to practice and I’m still training my last mon
I still have one pokemon to train and level, and I have one to level. Believe me, you’re more prepared than me. xD
True, but this mon takes forever to level up (like it needs a lot of EXP) so we might be done at the same time xD
As does one of mine. Doesn’t evolve until lv. 55, and its growth rate is slow. I don’t have the advantage of blissey bases either, but I dont know if you do anyway.
Tyranitar?
Bingo.
50/50 Choice and I remembered sending you the list of nicknames yesterday 😛
My team Nicknames can be shared if wanted it’s too late to plot against me
The other one being? Metagross?
Dragonair -> Dragonite
It’s 45 for Metag -> Metagross
Close enough. 😛
Ithsme can we have a new article for it I feel it would be easier for all of us (just saying)
Not on the main site, no. I’m not a mod. I’d love it if they would, but there’s likely no chance of that. On the forums is where most of the stuff should take place.
You could always set up a Disqus channel if these tournements are going to be regular things.
I forgot the Forums exist 😛
Here it is fellow opponents: http://pokejungle.net/forums/index.php?/topic/145-official-pokejungle-league-tournament/ Once again, I’m going to reiterate that the battles should be organized over on the forums. I’d rather not run the risk of angering the mods with spammy comments such as “Ready to battle?” or “GG”. Those things are fine, but over at the forums please. Good luck, the tournament has officially begun! (READ THE POST PLEASE.)
Reading now
Thanks.
Let’s battle we are shown next to each other in divisions!!
Battle time! Really hyped!
Wanna battle now?
Time to dust off the old A button.
my hype is pooped
i want to battle with Alola native pokemon
i want to test out my Mudsdale strategy
We all do I’m sure, but this can be a good way to pass time until then in a pokemon-related way. If you want to drop out of the tournament, feel free too, but I really think you should stay.
Good Match Starstorm I really liked your… No spoilers
Did you see my forum post? Lol, that got really close
Yup!
Ok, so what’s the best place to lv. grind in XY if I’m dirt poor? Seriously I have less than 5,000. Is the E4 the only way to go?
Victory Road is pretty good
Is there a place with high level audino?
Not that I know of
friend safaris by most
i’ve been using a Chansey and Audino safari for nearly 3 years
But do they give more EXP than an elite four member? Because I do have one of those safaris.
they give so much more
chansey and audino are exp cash cows
Not everybody has that luxury I think
well sucks to be you peasant!
I love all of the post game content in B2W2 🙂
Gotta go may be back later stay tuned!
Some cute Lusamine and Wicke art

I tried out showdown.
First match I lost because I was up against 3 legendaries and it’s been ages since I last battled.
Second match I lost because I went in with normal pokemon and it had some weird rule about allowing multiple mega evolutions on pokemon that don’t even mega evolve. It was weird.
Third match now, completely randomised and the other player resigned half way through after I beat their hoopa unbound with a Sandslash XD
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randomdoublesbattle-434363999
not for nothing Hoopa Unbound has shitty defense and a 4x bug weakness
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-434040031
check this shite
Nice.
Just won my second random match.
I think I like randoms.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randomdoublesbattle-434368564
randoms are by far random, it is mostly luck and having the superior pokemon
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-433767046
Pure power
That guy naming his pokemon after Star Wars things is kind of weird.
I don’t think it’s that random.
Apart from the one guy who got lucky with a Kyogre I’ve won 3/4 battles now.
Lol. They have a lot of non standard meta games with really obscure rules.
The standard ones are on the right hand side of the dropdown menu.
I think you can also do Custom Games with your own rules
Random battles are a lot of fun when you don’t want to take things seriously.
I’ve just done mostly random.
I’ve won about 50% of the time because I’m out of practise, not really thinking things through and one time because the player got Kyogre out as their first pokemon.
I need to wait until I can sit down and think up a good team arrangement before I take anything serious.
I’m torn between koga and karen, lovedette both of them
FUSE THEM TOGETHER
KAGOEN!!!
Me too…..both of them have pkmns that’s fit with their character.
Question to the experts. Can we expect coro coro to be released(leaked) on weekends?
Probably not tomorrow, but Sunday night could happen.
Historically the 11th is usually the earliest it gets released. So like Xatu said, sunday is the soonest I’d say, and if not Monday.
Why is it that whenever I try to vote for one of these things the vote button never works?
Same for a lot of us.
yeah. It does sorta work on Mobile versions of our browsers, but on pc’s it doesn’t work well.
Not good enough as far as I’m concerned.
I completely agree, but its always good to know there’s a work around.
It’s not a work around if your phone doesn’t connect to the internet.
I’m sorry if this has been discussed before, but, I gotta ask what you guys think is going on with Gladion’s freaky hand (unless you tell me that’s some sort of edgy japanese thing); my ~completely made-up theory~ is that the connection between Lillie, Gladion and Lusamine has to do with the Ultra Beasts, and that maybe each one of them are a beast themselves. Maybe that freaky hand is due to an inconsistent transformation (I mean, his – and lusamine’s – hairstyle looks very unique, it could be the outline of a future Ultra Beast). I guess we’ll have to wait and see ?
I am guessing it is a Japanese edgy thing; more specifically it is related to what is known as a chuunibyou.
A common phrase that someone who is afflicted with chuunibyou (Middle School 2nd year syndrome) has been shown to use in several anime and manga is as follows:
“Don’t take that bandana off my left wrist. It’s sealing an evil spirit inside me and if you take it off I may go berserk.”
“Dude, calm down. You just have chuunibyou.”
For some reason, a very common representation of this in Japanese media has to do with the right hand.
Ohhh, I see! Well, maybe Gladion is indeed trying to hold something back, to control himself. If that’s correct, and the reason for it, can’t be deducted right now, though..
Here’s a more in depth article:
http://animanga.wikia.com/wiki/Chuunibyou
I feel like Gladius would be closer to the “Delusional Type”, that’s the most interesting one; the thing is, I feel like he really is somehow special, but we’ll have to wait and see if that’s really true ?
I get the impression the admins of team Skull are going to be based off of Japanese delinquent stereotypes.
I’m waiting for one with a pompadour.

alright guys it’s time we bring up the Rumor List,we need the list from start to finish, put up some rumors that are ready True and cross out some of them that are Fake, we need to know what we learned so far from the rumors.
LOL ”Cubone is an unlit Charmander”
My teams so far… So far I have two sun versions but depending on the final evos of Rowlet and Popplio it may just be one sun and one moon version…
i still have little to no new additions
only Litten/popplio, Rockruff and Mudbray
i haven’t liked anything lately
I’m surprised you’re still going with Popplio.
i am still considering it, only time will tell
But what if it’s a fairy?
Crabrawler and Type: Null is awesome though.
This isn’t final at all but I’m thinking it could turn out like this:
Sun:
-Rowlet
-Vikavolt
-Rockruff
-Wishiwashi
Moon:
-Litten
-Cutiefly
-Pikipek
-Mudsdale
-Lurantis
I envy the people who can afford to get both.
You could save up a dollar every day for 40 days. Or 0.50 for 80 days
I don’t earn enough to do that.
Smaller increments? Or perhaps Christmas? People usually give money.
I could probably afford a second game around christmas, but by that point I’ll have probably finished the first game and got all the version exclusive non-legendaries so there won’t be much point.
I see. I always get both because I keep one that stays as my hub game for that gen and then the other version is the one I play over again.
Might do that one day when I can afford it.
So far the only game I bought the other version of was FRLG, but I only did that because my friend convinced me to use a cheat device and it stopped me being able to trade with Gen III and by the time I’d realised he’d already moved far away.
Well that sucks.
Never got round to finishing it because DP came out.
Although I kinda hate Litten’s evo so might go with Popplio in Moon instead unless there’s a separate Litten evo.
Sun:
Rowlet
Mimikyu
Oricorio
Stufful (Yep.)
Salandit
Type: Null
Moon:
Munchlax
Raichu
Which Oricorio?
I’ll probably change with the islands.
“Stufful”…
Machine wash only.
https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/rotom-wash.jpg
My team:
– Rowlet / Popplio
– Pikipek
– Flomantis
Popplio3
Pikipek
Mimikyu
Lurantis
Salandit
Ninetales
too many fairies
Never enough fairies
I can’t have 2 of the same type on my team. Also, I find your lack of cutiefly disturbing.
Salandit took its spot
But they’re different types.
Yeah
You should ditch mimikyu for it. Bug/fairy >> Ghost/fairy
No. I would never leave my baby. Do you really want to separate a baby from its mother?
If that baby is wearing a used napkin, then yes.
Mimikyu is my perfect little baby and I will never leave it.
But you should cause Cutiefly will probably be better since mimikyu won’t evolve.
Cutiefly isn’t going to evolve into a precious cinnamon roll
Cutiefly involves into another cute bug! And will probably evolve again!
But it doesn’t deserve my love
Do you go around with a sheet hiding your real face or do you just have relations with another Mimikyu?
You mean ‘2 many fairies’.
I actually had that, and then realized popplio might also end up a fairy
I forgot Mimikyu is fairy.
I had to double check it.
U choose Salandit ?…that’s weird.
How come?
I didn’t know how can I describe that ….but u usually like soft and cute character …..but Salandit break this formula.
it’s not a bad thing in my opinion I break my badass team with cut or feminine character sometimes. I will use Salandit if I am not fire starter loyal.
I think Salandit is a bit cute
http://img01.deviantart.net/9628/i/2016/191/8/7/pokemon_fan_art___salandit_by_taylortrap622-da98v5j.png
But yeah, I like my girly cute stuff but something about Salandit is really cool! He always seems really goofy. Plus I love his typing. I was hoping Litten would get the Fire/Poison typing but instead Salandit did so I’m using it :3
for me it’s cute but humans consider it creepy.
Not all humans :3
I don’t like choosing teams ahead of time, but I’ll make an exception this once.
Out of the current ones shown (and making a few assumptions):
(also assume all these to be representative of their final forms)
Pikipek
Cutiefly
Salandit
Rockruff
Lurantis
Mudsdale
Special mentions:
Morelull
Oricorio (Fire)
-Litten
-Mudsdale
-Wishiwashi
-Morelull
-Crabrawler
-Type: Null
Shame on me ….no dark nor ghost type.
I can go with Komala if it has an evolution (I want it become normal/psychic)
Togedemaru and Oricorio Sensu Style is a good option though.
+1 for Morelull
I like the design it looks like those creatures whose appeared in fairy tale …..It’s kinda creepy for me so I love it.
You’ll probably pick a dark or ghost type eventually. Just wait for the rest of the Pokemon to come out.
Litten
Munchlax
Rockruff
Oricorio (Pom Pom)
Jangmo-o
That’s 5, not chosen a 6th?
I’m saving up for a water type and none have gotten my interest yet.
Fair enough.
Bruxish is weird and Wishiwashi is… I don’t even know what it is. It is beyond description.
Oh, I like Wishiwashi, I just don’t want it in my team is all.
I prefer its small form.

When you’re stuck for the night watching Netflix because of your surgery and all your friends preparing for Homecoming and football season…
If you don’t mind me asking, what was your surgery?
Chronic chalazions on both my eyes that were the result of make-up from theater. I borrowed my friend’s make-up because I lost mine and I ended up with balls on my eyes for six months before they finally had to put me under. -_-
Oh. O_0
Shit. Glad I never did that during theatre.
Yep. One of the ingredients in the make-up product effed up my already insanely sensitive eyes and ended up almost dying (not really, but it was really painful).
So you can see alright now after the surgery? I’m surprised you’re not wearing double eyepatches or something
The most affected was the left eye so I had to wear eye patches for the left, but the right only had a few (three I believe) so I’m good. I can see perfectly fine, but my eyes are really droopy and sticky.
That sounds quite unfortunate. Well I hope your droopy eyes have a quick recovery
Thanks. Hopefully this year’s season of theater won’t fuck up my eyes. *_*
Do you know what shows you’re doing?
What’s homecoming?
An event where alumni are invited for a celebration of sort.
Okay…
What’s alumni?
A former student or graduate from a certain school.
A thank you, that makes sense.
My schools/college never bothered with terms like that.
(I Presume it’s the same in the rest of the UK, but could be wrong.)
I never understood the UK’s tertiary, secondary, and primary system either, so it’s fine. 😀
It’s pretty straight forward
Primary: Early Years (4-5s) (effectively Year 0), Year 1 (5-6s) – Year 6 (10-11s)
Secondary: Year 7 (11-12s) – Year 11 (15-16s)
Everyone followes a uniform syllabus up to Year 9 where people are grouped by ability and given a few limited choices (e.g. whether to do 1 or 2 foreign languages)
College: Pretty much unlimited and any age group, but typically at least 2 years from 16 to 18. As long as you have the appropriate secondary qualifications (or equivalent if you’re older) you can do pretty much any course you want.
Don’t know anything about university, but some people go on to do that (it’s effectively a 4th stage of education in some ways).
We had a prom in secondary school that not everyone decided to go to and everyone does school plays (i.e. theatre type stuff) in primary school, but apart from that there’s not much formal stuff beyond the weekly assembly in the first two stages and the occaisional parents evening.
No hats and gowns, no dances or discos, no mandatory extra curricular activities of any kind.
errrggghhhhh i’m bored….i’m kinda burnt out on WoW there’s tons of end game crap that just get boring and i’m also an Altoholic….which would be fine but being undergeared hurts

Altoholic? Are you addicted to singing alto or something?
altoholic
When used in reference to MMORPG’s (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games), such as World of Warcraft or Everquest, refers to a person who creates many different characters, rather than just one or two. May also be used to refer to a player who creates characters on many different servers of the same game, where the experiences they see will often be different from each other.
I can’t do that unless I feel I’ve completed one character
the only MMO i’ve had fun with is FFXIV… and even then I only have a main and an alt I never use.

Mmmph Mmmph!!!
I’ve been neglecting that lately. I was saving up for a bubble pipe 😛
So I’ve been looking at the pokemon announced so far and also at the releases throughout pokemon’s history… As many (all?) of you know, we’ve never been given every new pokemon and all of their evolutions up front before a game’s release (not counting ME’s in ORAS).
However, we still have around three more trailers to expect (one on the 14th, two in october, possibly more if you want to be optomistic). While I expect we will get more new pokemon, like a dark and ice type for goodness sake, we can also expect some evolutions to be revealed for the new ones.
Here’s what I think will be revealed by the game’s release (not counting data mining, leaks, etc.):
Starter mid evos at least.
Pikipek’s final evo (much like talonflame was revealed before fletchinder)
Rockruff’s evo is confirmed to be announced VERY soon.
I also think Cutiefly’s evo will be officially announced either in coro coro or on the 14th.
Wimpod’s evo.
Morelull’s evo.
Whether or not crabrawler/ tortunator will have evos/prevos.
Maybe salandit’s or komala’s. Not both.
The others I think will be kept secret.
Let me know if you agree!
I feel the same except I feel like we won’t get Morelull’s evo, and maybe on surprise evo.
Morelull was more wishful thinking. It doesn’t have much hype at all around it. Kinda like bounsweet. I think those two will be exclusive. One glows (moonlight) the other could be the sun exclusive.
I want morelull to evolve.
At the moment (assuming its evolution is as cool as I’m hoping) it’s my favourite mushroom pokemon.
It’s cute. It was just overshadowed by Raichu and wishiwashi in the trailer.
I prefer it to both A-Raichu and Wishiwashi ; n ;
Sammmmmmeeeeee!
For a moment I thought this was going to be a theory about the game. Thank god it wasn’t, I’ve been enjoying the break from all that drama 😛
I agree with pretty much everything, but I’ve got a horrible feeling they might try to make Komala be a single form pokemon. I’m hoping it’ll have an evolution. I’m expecting just 1 evolution but 2 would be nice too.
Crabrawler and Tortunator give off a single form/version exclusive vibe to me, but I could be wrong.
Cutiefly’s evo is likely to be revealed in corocoro because that’s what they did with Bewear, Mimikyu and Rockruff (or at least 2 of those 3 I think).
Expecting evolutions to come later rather than sooner, particularly the starters. I’m half thinking they’ll hold back because of the leaks, but also that they might not reveal the final forms because they want people to take a leap of faith and grow to love their pokemon in the hopes people’s attachment to the pokemon will overrule their feelings about the final form.
True true. Tortunator and crabrawler look too complete to evolve again though if anything they’ll be getting prevos.
Plausible. Moreso for Tortunator.
Crabrawler gives a Sawk/Throh vibe.
And I agree. I would much rather speculate about the Pokemon than the story/ characters.
It’s not just that, it’s the massive cognitive leaps people attempt when theorising about the story instead of applying a bit of Ockham’s Razor.
What I like about your guesses is they are actually basing some of the theory on things that have already happened (e.g. the earlier corocoro leaks) and looking at some of the less popular pokemon and evolutions for the new pokemon rather than focusing on the starters or trying to guess any alolan forms.
Thanks! I try to base my evo predictions on other Pokemon with similar looks or categories (such as komala probably getting one evo because 1. It’s very small and not gimmicky enough to stay standalone and 2. All the other bears got one evo.)
Also, gamefreak loves themes among lines (such as feebas to Milotic i.e. Beauty and ugliness.) so Whimpod will likely evolve into a brave creature, hopefully two evos.
I forgot to say that minior will likely be shown.
While I think almost every Pokemon is likely to evolve so far (just not all revealed before hand) there statistically needs to be some standalones (such as crabrawler or tortunator which could also have prevos) and then likely some surprise standalones for people (like maractus, carbink, etc. that are in my opinion too weak and cute to stay standalone.) a seventh gen Pokemon that fits this is Bruxish. Just big enough and designed precisely enough to stay stand alone, great ability, and would surprise a lot of people.
Edit: carbink not carving
Yeah, they do have noticeable patterns.
Only thing that makes me think Komala could have more than one evolution is Slakoth, but that might be a stretch, hence it’s my backup theory and not my main theory.
Yeah, Wimpod has to end up brave in a later form.
Yeah, I’d expect Bruxish to stay a single form because it’s similar to Luvdisc. It’s kind of obvious Wishiwashi is because of its ability.
I think Minior might be a single form because of its different colours, but I could be wrong, it might end up being a Burmy-Wormadam situation.
Carbink was completely pointless other than to enhance Diancie’s story. They should have given it an evolved form that looked closer to what Diancie is and said Diancie is a mutation of that.
Maractus I could imagine getting a tough looking evolution. On its own it looks kind of bland, I almost never catch more than the one I need for the pokedex.
Wishiwashi also appears as a totem so he’s probably a final form. Overall, I agree with anything. Minior definitely throws me for a loop.
Yeah, we still don’t know the significance of the colours. Could be decorative, could be stat related. Who knows.

Anyone have nicknames for their pokemon? I came up with a few
Popplio3 – Minuet
Lurantis – Rosa
Ninetales Alolan – Winter/Everest
Pikipek – Crimson
Mimikyu – Spoopy/Pikaboo
Salandit – Sally
Rowlett3 – Oliver/Queen/Unoriginal Name
Bounsweet – Sucrose
popplio- Sefano
Lurantis- Stupid Bug Plant Whore
A. Ninetales- pandering Fairy #38
pikipek- Lowly Bird Fodder #7
Mimikyu- ForeverAlone
Salandit- Leatherhead
Bowinowl- GreenArrowRipoff
bounsweet- Appetizer
I like these. You don’t like Lurantis much do ya?
I don’t like anybody
Lurantis is pretty cool though
Clownpants bug is going to be a pain
It’ll probably have Chlorophyll as an HA and spam Solar Blade constantly
Ooooo, thanks for the set idea
my vast encyclopedic knowledge is a gift and curse…maybe a savant
but for now you have to deal with it only having leaf guard which is situational
As an aditional thought, it’d pair up well with anything that has Drought.
Ninetails is probably my favourite Pokemon to equip with Drought.
its the only thing you can pair
other then Groudon
What’s wrong with Charizard?
oh yeah that thing
Annoying turd
I only slightly prefer it to the X form because it doesn’t look like it’s got candy floss between its teeth.
I don’t use nicknames personally, but I’m usually quite good at creating them if anyone gets stuck. I tend to prefer portmanteaus though.
I have opinions about the nicknames you chose but I don’t like discussing nicknames anymore since that one time I told someone I didn’t like the nickname they had chosen and suggested some better ones and some other people tore into me for it.
I can handle it! Tell me how bad they are! >:D
I liked them!
Yay, adult people!
Minuet makes me think of the Minuet Of Forest from Ocarina Of Time. It’s original meaning is pretty much fine if the leaks are true, but anyone who’s played Zelda and doesn’t know what a Minuet actually is will get confused.
Rosa = Pink, so neat. Probably my favourite, and not just because of the pokemon it’s for XD
Everest is a bit of an odd one because it’s actually quite green on some parts. Winter’s fine. (Sidenote: Vulpes Lagopus is a funny species name).
Crimson will work fine if Pikipek’s evo ends up red, otherwise that might end up a bit odd.
Erm… They’re good but I can’t take them seriously XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2rwxs1gH9w
Sally’s a bit obvious. It’s alright but it’s not particularly impressive either.
I don’t get the Rowlet names. Olive branch/peace and a female royal title.
Sucrose is original but odd. Fructose would also be odd but probably more fitting given that Fructose is called Fructose because it’s extracted from fruit. (Damn I miss chemistry sometimes) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose
Yeah I kinda agree with you on Minuet but I think it sounds good for it. People will probably get confused but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, Sally isn’t too great. I’ll have to come up with a better one before SuMo comes out.
Rowlet’s name is based on Oliver Queen, the real name of Green Arrow
I’d have been tempted to go with Serenade because of the Serenade of water and because serenades are supposed to be ‘sung directly to one’s love interest’, which fits the siren theme. Plus siren and serenade both begin with ‘s’. But whatever. Gonna link to the serenade of water anyway because damn that wonderful soundtrack XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72zr1S8Znfw
Yeah, Salandit is hard because there are no famous legendary salamanders like there are dragons/fairies. Best I could come up with is ‘usodela’ from the scientific order ‘urodela’ and the Japanese word for lie ‘uso’.
Ah, that makes sense. My knowledge of superheroes is still limited, particularly the DC ones (I’m better with Marvel). I feel sorry for the Green Arrow, his normal name is weird. Upon reading his bio though, it’s fitting.
Oooohh Serenade sounds good! Look at this! Constructive criticism bettering humanity…..somewhat
Everyone benefits from cooler nicknames.
The owners and the people who get to battle them.
Cool nicknames = maximal respect 😛
AAAAAWWWWWW I LOVED THE MINUTE OF FOREST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaIDovzdVag
not to brag but i learnt how to play every Ocarina song from OoT and MM with the Smule Ocarina App
and even the Zelda Theme, Breman’s march and….i think the first half of ballad of the wind fish
except the entirety of Saria’s Song (i lost the link to the sheet music i liked)
I want a full version of Minuet of the Forest. Koji Kondo, get on it! Was it Koji Kondo? I dont know
I can play a few on piano/keyboard/anything I know the notes on, but only up to the actual notes played in game, not the extension bit the player doesn’t play.
I can’t play any instruments though, I’m just ok at remembering sequences of 6 notes 😛
I don’t nickname my Pokemon on my first run, but I keep a note file on my phone full of them.
Here’s what I got so far for gen 7:
Rowlet – MoistRowlett
Komala – Narcoala
Rockruff – Ruffles
Stufful – Babywear
Minior – Polaris
omg ruffles is adorable
Inspired by Wuffels, the German name for Rockruff. xD
Oh! And I didn’t come up with this, but Spookloth for Mimikyu.
Ruffles is cutesy but suitable.
Polaris is kind of odd since technically minior is more of meteor/meteorite than a star, but I’ll grant you it looks like a star.
Eh, I like it. It only really works in its exposed form though. xD
Yeah, and sadly Ryusei and Hokulele are taken XD
Also it reminds me of the Lumas from Mario Galaxy.
I really like Winter for Ninetales, and Crimson for Pikipek. ^.^ That make me think, what about Frostbite for Sandslash?
Thaw maybe?
Rowlet: Rowling
Rockruff: Teddy
Vikavolt: Blade
Mudsdale: Shadowmere
Minior: Majora
Oricorio (baile): Flamé
Shadowmere yeeeessss
And Rowlet’s name is great! Rowlet has so many good opportunities for names!
It really does!
Don’t like Rowling, but then I’m biased to that name from the start 😛
Dunno how I feel about Teddy.
Blade is cool.
Automatic +1 for Shadowmere.
Majora’s a bit of an odd choice.
Is that last one a typo?
-Teddy is for Teddy Lupin, an HP reference like Rowling
-Blade is a halo reference
-Majora because the markings on minior remind me of something from majora’s mask
-I couldn’t really think of something for the baile. I was thinking flamenco, but didn’t want that as a name. So I shortened it to Flame, which fits because it’s a fire type, but gave it an accent to keep the spanish origin of the nickname.
Or maybe Fláme. I kind of like the stress on the a more.
Go with Flambé – what Oricorio does to opponents XD
Oh, I like that too. It’s like a combo of all 3.
That’s what I thought it was a typo of but didn’t want to say it in case you decided to pretend that’s what it was supposed to be XP
P.S. Fire Oricorio is best Oricorio
I like the ghost one :3
I’d prefer the ghost if it were holding fans instead of having oddly shaped wings. Despite which that’s probably my second favourite.
Pa’u is my third, I don’t like the things it’s holding much.
Pom pom is my least because oh dear god cheerleaders *cringe*
For sure! I love its design. It better not get Fiery dance though, as much as I love it. That shit needs to stay Volcarona’s special move. I didn’t get it to level 100 just to have some bird snatch it away.
You’ve probably jinxed it now.
There’s nothing gamefreak like more than stripping pokemon of their signiture moves.
Honestly I bet it will happen. It fits too well -screams internally-
Flamenco makes me think of Don Flamenco from Punch Out
Interesting, I’ve never played
You should! It probably has some of the best gameplay on the NES
I’m so behind on video games though idk if I’d ever get to it >.<
I like it on the 3DS best. It’s a game you can pick up and play. Nintendo should actually port it to Mobile actually
I wish they would port Earthbound to the 3DS…. >:I
They put it on the New 3ds
Seriously!? I have that! Why is it not on the regular 3DS?
Technical issues most likely
Hm, that’s strange. I need to get it now. Although I want to play Y first and then by the time I finish that it’ll be S/M time :I
Earthbound is a better game anyways 😛
I knowwww. But sometimes I use in game play throughs as ways to level up my EV trained pokemon and waste time 😛 Plus it gives me motivation to Breed/EV train in the first place
New 3DS has a more powerful processor.
What makes Earthbound too much for the 3DS to handle though? It’s so old.
Well I mean, the SNES was more powerful than the NES. It couldn’t handle SNES games, same goes for 3ds
True, I guess it was a home console game.
It had a very sophisticated scripting engine that let them time events very precisely (I remember Itoi saying in an interview that the programmers worked very hard to get it working) so it might be related to that.
The newer 3DS’ CPU wasn’t actually faster, it just had more cores, and both reserved one core for the OS, so if the game did anything that required dual core functionality, that might explain it. Plus the new one has 4MB more VRAM.
Thanks! I’m glad I upgraded my 3DS either way 🙂
No problem. This is probably one of my catchphrases by now but: programmers gotta know this shit 😛
Yeah, I upgraded mine too. Sadly it has an ugly scratch on part of the screen because of a pencil I once had in my pocket :C
Side note: I played Earthbound on an emulator.
I now dislike Teddy but think Blade sounds cool even without knowing the reference.
Majora is now kind of understandable, but would be moreso if you get the purple one (I think there’s a purple one).
See my other comment about Oricorio XD
What do you have against HP? >:I
I don’t dislike the stories per se, I’m not not a massive fan of the author herself. It’s one of those cases where I appreciate the talent but not the person to whom the talent belongs.
I’ll always be a bit biased against pokemon nicknamed after characters from other franchises anyway.
In all fairness I’d be more comfortable with ‘Lupin’ despite the HP reference because of its etymology and obviousness but obviously that’s not as cute.
Lupin or Remus are too obvious for me. I’ve used them before for Zoroark so idk. I was trying to think of some ASoIaF references but failed. Maybe Rockruff could be Greywind instead or Nymeria.
I don’t know anything about ASOIAF but after a very quick skim of the wiki, Varamyr looks good because he’s the only person known to get close to breaking the 3 unwritten rules of being a wildling skinchanger. Or possibly Haggon for being the former’s mentor. Or Gaven maybe.
Varamyr maybe. He’s so minor though and he’s kind of a huge dick.
I dunno, I only briefly read a wiki article 😛
Rowlet: Chives
Salandit: Corrozard
Jangmo-O: Temper
Komala: Remy
Pallosand: Rook
@pharap: I’d love to know what you think!
I love Rook for Pallosand (even though I don’t like that pokemon)
Yeah castles and chess!
Chives is because I think it’s a hilarious name for a butler / chauffeur (thanks drake and josh) and that bow tie just screams butler to me. Unsure if that was clear or not.
Chives are also a plant too, so that fits on another level
Better yet, it’s a herb.
Herbs are the most underrated plants.
Except for ‘that’ herb.
Do not consume ‘that’ herb.
Oregano, no doubt.
I was sure there was a psychoactive herb but now I can’t find it. Oh well.
I almost said ‘butler’ in my other comment but didn’t want to because I thought you might take offense at what equates to calling your starter a servent XD
I was meandering around here even without the special summons, but I greatly appreciate being asked for my opinion.
Chives is probably my favourite name for a Rowlet that I’ve heard so far. It’s a herb but it also has that posh ring to it that suits Rowlet’s bowtie to a T.
Portmanteaus are always good in my book. Personally I would have been inclined to go with ‘Corromander’ instead of ‘Corrozard’ because A) Salamanders are historically considered to be separate from Lizards, and B) it matches Chives because of ‘Corriander’ (another herb).
Jangmo-o is a hard call because it’ll obviously evolve but it’s impossible to know what it will become. Temper suits its grumpy fangs though and sounds kind of like a dragon name anyway, so assuming it’ll still suit it’s evolutions that’s a good one.
Remy! That is wit in its purest form, I completely approve. (To anyone reading this who doesn’t get the joke: REMy)
As much as I dislike Pallosand, Rook is a very suitable name. Kind of a shame you aren’t using a Bisharp, Nidoking and Nidoqueen, I can see a potential theme here XD
Normally I don’t like to play favourites, but I think you’re probably one of the best nicknamers I’ve come across. (And I promise I would have said the same without being summoned XD)
Aw thanks! All the compliments from you tonight! Corromander does work, I just liked the z in -Zard that matched with the -sive in corrosive.
I never used to nickname my Pokemon. Not since the first game I played (ruby) where little me named torchic “wik” like a candle wick. It fits the little chick, just not blaziken. For the nostalgia factor though, I might nickname some of them this gen!
Might be an accent thing. Where I come from ‘z’ and ‘s’ are pronounced distinctively different from each other in most cases. Unless you’re not stressing the z like in Charizard and are going for the same sound as Lizard.
I’ve never nicknamed because Ash never did and I watched the series before playing the game. Ruby was my first too.
I’m tempted to purely because I arrogantly think I’m good with nicknames, but on the other hand I think it would feel weird.
Also a chess themed theme is genius. Mudsdale could be the knight. And of course pawniard too!
Yeah, chess theme would be cool.
Sometimes I wish the E4 would have themes rather than being restricted to a single type. A chess themed E4 member would be pretty cool.
I knew I forgot one of the non-pawns 😛
I didn’t bother to think of one for a pawn because the pawn would be faint-fodder anyway.
I love Palossand’s name
Thank you!
Rowlett3: if it’s called Robingroot, then Groot or iAmGroot, if not, then Owliver….?
Litten3: TigrMillionr (Tiger Millionaire) if it’s the wrestler.
Popplio3: Starbucks if it’s the mermaid.
Vikavolt: Zika Virus
Gumshoos: Trump, Looker, Holmes, Sherlock
Drampa: Snoop, Dramma(Female)
Bruxish: DEEAUUGGH
Togedemaru: Sanic, JoyBuzzer
Salandit: Sulphur, Vog
Bewear: BuildABewear, Bewearb, Weeabear
Mimikkyu: Decoychu
Comfey: Itchey
I didn’t finish.
Lurantis: Bacon Pants
Palossand: CanOSardines
Pyukumuku: Pyukumber
Turtunator: Bowser, BoomBoom, TNT.
Crabrawler: Rocky
Tapu Koko: Tapu Cucco.
Pyukumber is amusing.
To the can of sardines I say:
A baby sardine
Saw her first submarine:
She was scared and watched through a peephole.
“Oh, come, come, come,”
Said the sardine’s mum
“It’s only a tin full of people.”
(Obscure reference to the ‘inside no 9’ episode Sardines)
CanOSardines is supposed to be Wishiwashi, not Palossand. I’ll fix that.
I had a feeling it was, but I didn’t want to say anything just in case it was intentional XD
Yeah, Owliver is better than Oliver. Because puns!
People are going to be upset about Zika.
Drampa should be Falkor ( https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Falkor&num=20&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjuzs2Y8YPPAhVFJ8AKHQxqCaoQ_AUICCgB&biw=946&bih=922 )
Itchey seems weird.
I’m not actually gonna use Vikavolt, so no one will see it. It’s Itchey because that cheap plastic lei that Comfey is based on isn’t comfy, it’s itchy.
Eh, fair enough.
I just battled this guy on Showdown who livestreamed our battle and he told me to look at his Channel, but I forgot the name (o_o;)
Did you win?
*?
The first time, yes, but then he rematched me with a team full of Broken shinies
So guys…. What are your Sun and moon teams so far?? (we need some convo out here)
Mine is:
Rowlet
Vikavolt
Salandit
Wishiwashi
Mudsdale (probably will replace for Dark type of the region)
Rockruff or Mimikkyu
thiswasalreadypostedlike20minutesagothough
Oh boy, sriously? Sorry XD I wasn’t here when u guys discussed it….. But either way, would you care to tell me your team so far??
Haha, yeah!
Popplio3
Pikipek
Mimikkyu
Salandit
Lurantis
Ninetales-Alolan
Awesome! I’m starting to lean more to using Mimikkyu over Rockruff…. But I’m hoping it gets an evo….
We all know it won’t.
🙁 Aw.. Well, Anyways I will probably use mimikkyu cuz it has great type coverage, (hopefully its somewhat useful..)
It might be, although pokemon like that often are better competitive wise rather than in game. But who knows, we’ll have to see its stats
I really like salandit and pallosand. I want to see what one of the little baby grass types will evolve into as well as komala. Rockruff is a maybe unless his evo is super complicated like some of the rumors suggest. Then it’s a no.
I totally agree.
Oh and jangmo-o needs to evolve into something great for me to use it. Plus I need a damn new ice type.
I really want to use Jangmo-o. If it’s a steel/dragon or fighting/dragon I will use the hell out of that thing XD
Unfortunately the feather/ scale things look to be pointing to flying/ dragon. But I’d like to be proven wrong.
It’s obviously pure fairy.
Sun:
Rowlet
Salandit
Mimikyu
Oricorio
Stufful
Type: Null
Moon:
Munchlax
Raichu
Palossand
Sun
Popplio
Alolan exeggcutor
Gumshoos
Vikavolt
Slandit
Rockruff
Moon
Litten
Alolan Ninetailes
Jangmo-o
Wimpod
Alolan Marowak
Rockruff
I am still not sure which version to buy :/
Ours are really similar. I’m either having Rockruff or Mudsdale. I never stack rock and ground types on one team unless they’re dual typed. And I haven’t chosen a fire type yet. I might choose another water over wishiwashi as well if a cooler water type comes along.
You’re not using Salandit?
Well I like it, but I’m definitely going to need to see its evolution first. I like turtonator too, but I bet you won’t get it until late in the game.
I doubt they’d mess up Salandit’s evolution.
Then again… *looks at Alolan Raticate*
I replied to Star, but…
Rowlett3: if it’s called Robingroot, then Groot or iAmGroot, if not, then Owliver….?
Litten3: TigrMillionr (Tiger Millionaire) if it’s the wrestler.
Popplio3: Starbucks if it’s the mermaid.
Vikavolt: Zika Virus
Gumshoos: Trump, Looker, Holmes, Sherlock
Drampa: Snoop, Dramma(Female)
Bruxish: DEEAUUGGH
Togedemaru: Sanic, JoyBuzzer
Salandit: Sulphur, Vog
Bewear: BuildABewear, Bewearb, Weeabear
Mimikkyu: Decoychu
Comfey: Itchey
Lurantis: Bacon Pants
Palossand: CanOSardines
Pyukumuku: Pyukumber
Turtunator: Bowser, BoomBoom, TNT.
Crabrawler: Rocky
Tapu Koko: Tapu Cucco or ChicknNuggs
You already know I’ve stolen all of these names
Not DEEAAUUGGHH
especially DEEAAUUGGHH
Rats! Foiled again!
First of all, thank you for that GF reference (Bewearb)… 2nd THESE NAMES ARE AWESOME.
Although the only one I would change is Tapu Koko: I’m in love with the KOKO
I missed that because it’s been so long 😛
Tapu… http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fhif/images/d/d8/Coco.png/revision/latest?cb=20140616023024
That’s alola Exeggutor
I did that joke earlier.
http://pokejungle.net/2016/09/09/elite-four-showdown-johto/#comment-2884960708
Kokonut
Oh. I made a mistake there. CanOSardines is Wishiwashi not Palossand.
Rowlet
Jangmo-o
Mudsdale
Alolan Ninetales
Vikavolt
Salandit
Phew, finally finished my team. Took me longer than expected.
Can’t wait to battle you :O
Nice. 😉
Looking forward to our battle
Well work sucked nut
Good night Chumps and Chumpettes
So this is gonna be my Moon Team( inlcuding nicknames)
Rowlet-Marquis
Komala- Reginald
Mudsdale- Bojack
Bruxish- Donna.
Alolan Marowack- Bonnie (I had a Marowack in SS named Clyde)
Crabrawler- Rocko
Orginally Marowack was gonna be Martha as a homage to batman’s mother
You mean Superman’s moth— GAAASSSPP
😉
http://www.kappit.com/img/pics/201603_2236_ifhhd_sm.jpg
I get annoyed with all the anti BVS stuff on the Internet. The Martha moment was actually well thought out and executed in my opinion. But hey what do I know, I’ve only been told by an executive producer at NBC/ Universal that my first screenplay which I wrote when I was 22 was a pretty good first screenplay. ? BVS was a more than decent film from where I’m standing. I can take the jokes like the meme above, that is actually pretty funny and lighthearted. All the people making fun of the Martha thing are dollar store movie critics though in my opinion… :/
I approve if it’s making fun of BvS xD
Totally Gonna have Martha on my Sun Team now
I sorta have a Sun/Moon team in mind:
Rowlet
Vikavolt/Alolan Raichu
Turtomator
Rockruff
Type: Null
Pyukumuku
Thoughts?
Someone should name their Mudsdale “Blinky”
Ehh…I’m naming mine Bojack.
me too >:(
Jokes on you, I’m not getting mudsdale
Ah, no wonder I didn’t get the reference 😛
great show.
One I’ll never see.
why’s that?
‘Netflix’
http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/BoJack-Horseman
Eh, I’ve got a backlog of stuff I need to watch anyway. One that will never get cleared if I keep visiting Disqus places 😛
Honestly many people call it the best cartoon on tv. its a great slice of life show its get so deep and dark for a cartoon i was even shock.
Dark cartoons are nothing particularly new, most just tend to lean towards the crude and absurd rather than being serious.
For what its worth it is a really good series, if you like Dark Satire. Personally I’m hooked on it, though that might be because I kind of see a lot of myself in Bojack with his depression, self-hating and drinking issues.
yep me too. expect drinking issues
except*
If it’s anything like the simpsons or south park I’ll give it a miss.
I can sympathise with depression and self hating, not so much the drinking.
its nothing like them all. and im a huge south park fan myself the two shows differ greatly
I’d say its not quite like them, but follows in their footsteps like a lot of the great shows of today do. It really does talk about some serious subject matter like a child star, now a 30 year old woman, is doomed to a path of self-destruction vis drugs and bad choices because that’s what the world made her, or talking about how the main character had a horrible family growing up, and when he finally confronts them about it, their reaction is basically “yeah, we are horrible, and you are the horrible product of us. You are the symbol of all the horrible things we did, and you’ll never be able to be anything else”. Heck it has an entire episode focused on sending the message that their is no shame in dying for nothing, as most of us do.
Again I’d say give it a watch. its only 3 12 episode seasons, so it isn’t that long.
As I told Tsuki, I’m behind on a lot of other stuff I’d like to watch, so I’ll bear it in mind if it’s around in a year or so when my backlog is clear.
Upvote for anyone who gets the reference…
Nobody… poor Terry ; n ;
@Poekoko you here?
yep, I’ll trade with you tomorrow, after i get my shades/contacts and phone
Okay. I’ll be gone until later in the evening tho.
np
Poor Bruno ? ? ?
whos winning rn? I can’t see due to my browser
Karen because she’s a woman.
Look at what she says after the battle,
usually I am the one complaining about people only choosing because they’re a woman,
but this is an exception
I’m not replaying just to read that. And I don’t feel like go ogling it ad you young people do
“Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best. I like your style. You understand what’s important. Go on — — the Champion is waiting.”
Well yeah, she’s sexy but she’s also really smart and has great dialogue that is actually my philosophy when it comes to Pokemon. Game freak seems pretty good at making pretty girls also really smart
Doesn’t she say something like a good trainer should play with their favorites or something like that?
Aren’t you voting for Bruno for the same reasons you think people are voting for Karen?
I only voted for her because I absolutely love dark types and Umbreon otherwise Bruno would’ve definitely gotten my vote again.
Lance won? (I’m not surprised at all XD)
My team is ready, it is easy to counter with a certain Pokemon… not saying which one tho x)
Excadrill
i had excadrill in mind when making the team, I knew you were gonna use it
That’s kinda convince me ….the rest is high possibility get Alolan form. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1473474098372.png
this is a load of crock
Did u mean that. http://pre12.deviantart.net/2da6/th/pre/i/2011/030/1/1/a_load_of_crock_by_monster_man_08-d38fppz.jpg
Wait, so does that mean Kingdra, Rhypherior, and Tangrowth get Alolans too?
Lickilicky and Blessed too
Most of these forms are nice!
But I REALLY hope they don’t screw up my boi Kingdra
I don’t think so most likely the pkmns whose have previous evos in other gen like Mr.Mime and Jynx.
rockwulf leaked by corocoro????
http://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/LG-40-Astrotrain-Robot.jpg
WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE THE COROCORO LEAKS !?!?!
At the moment, it is the 10th in Japan. The only month that leaks can be expected early enough to warrant your outburst is in August, when Corocoro is released on the 11th. This month, and every other month, Corocoro is released on the 15th, and so the leaks will only come later tonight if we are extremely lucky.
The only time that leaks have come on the 10th for a 15th release during the entire 6-7 years that I’ve been following the leaks was back in February this year, it is extremely rare.
And back in February, it leaked around 9-10pm for me, which is in a couple of hours, so it has NEVER leaked early enough to warrant you asking where the bloody hell it is. If it’s still not here on Tuesday night JST, then, and only then, is it valid to ask where the bloody hell the leaks are. Remember, getting leaks is a privilege, it’s illegal and could get someone sent to jail, it is in no way a right.
Finally someone said it. Thank you.
I hate it when people get pissy over lack of leaks.
You’re very welcome. It’s always worth keeping in mind the sacrifices that the leakers are making for us, we should be happy to get leaks at all.
Hey anyone here want to battle?
It’s… Too early in the day for that….
Ok maybe later
SS team
Meganium
Magmar
Murkrow
Ampharos
Espeon
Graveler
HG
Cyndaquil
Butterfree
Pidgey
what happened to Heracross?
Its in the PC so I could grind Magmar for Jasmine. Heracross is already lv35
Should I use Butterfree in my HG playthrough?
Go for it
Go for it. You will have an easy time putting things to sleep with its ability and it’s pretty good using special attacks. It’s pretty frail
Nice team, I’d suggest using Heracross, Lanturn, Donphan and even Bellossom as those Pokemon are Pokemon that would be quite good in game
Idk, I always preferred Vileplume over bellossom. Grass/poison gives you more coverage. I like the way bellossom looks better though
I only suggested Blossom cause its a Gen II Pokemon and I only use gen specific Pokemon in the games haha
Tbh Blossom can learn Sludge Bomb so not all is bad haha
Oh, yeah your suggestion makes sense then. It almost doesn’t feel like a Gen 2 pokemon though since it has to be oddish and gloom first though 😛
Hey is the tournament still being held this weekend? I havent seen it get mentioned again xD
Yea, i think it is thru the week, you are my second battle. I will be free after the Bears game on sunday
Go da bears
You know it!
I won’t be able to watch it live ;~;
I will miss the first 30 minutes (church) but since we’re recording we can use that time for commercials
True. I’ll miss the first 3 hours (aka the game)
You don’t have to battle in order. Just as long as you battle everyone in your Division at some point, you’re good.
Awesome!
Go on the Forums. The brackets are there
K thx 🙂
Yep, on the forums.
Thx!
When are we expecting corocoro?
Possibly tonight, but most likely not until tomorrow night or Monday.
Never 😐
Almost swept a dude with one pokemon… said i was using hax.
Hax is Sheer Cold hits, 5 row paralyzed, Freeze, Burn, etc
I used Thunder Wave
Proceeded to set up
He got paralyzed fully only twice. No hax here
Or David vs Mo weak seven UCL XD
The HAXGOD HAS RETURNED xD
XD
I felt so bad for david there
That Super Fang battle tho
Oh god XD
My gosh Showdown is salty! 4 forfeits in a row!
Yeah. That happened to me last night.
Especially when you use a team full of Imposter Dittos, only time one person didn’t forfeit was this guy who had a Full Smeargle Team. He was a nice guy actually.
Wow, someone else did because he picked a bad lead, now all I think of is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OVDQ_UVpnE
Yep lol
Woah… I battled somebody with an entire imposter team with a smeargle team. Was that you?
Chikorita
Sigma
Ledyba
Stantler
Murkrow
?
Does anyone remember that last one?
Oh yeah! Corsola
Why didn’t Will use Slowing instead of Slowbro?
Slowbro has 110 Defense, Slowking has 110 special defense, Jynx has garbage Defense and good Special Defense, he needed a physical wall.
This isn’t competitive battling, it’s main story 😐
Still, they wouldn’t let you sweep with one physical mon, GF isnt dumb
True
Especially after the special/physical split in gen 4
Bring back ??? Type!
Would’ve fit Type: Null perfect
Yes plz!
Hey, I know I should be keeping this on the forums, but Earthen I’m ready to battle you in the tourny when you are! I’m TheKecleonBandit. (See my post in the forum for FC)
Any Corocoro leaks Yet!!?
Sadly no 🙁
Perhaps we can get a lemur?
I’d like a lemur.
It would make a good counterpart for komala!
I love lemurs! I’m all for that. If you really think about it, there are some really common/popular animals that don’t have Pokémon yet, and they’ve made 4 Bagworm Pokémon..
I remember making a Lemur fakemon once with the type Fairy/fighting and called it Lemuse (Lemur-Bemuse)
Sooo i think i dont fully understand how to use the forums, i cant find the bracket for the tournament
Ok. So go to the forums, click on Pokémon Games Discussion, then it’ll show you a bunch of threads, click on Official Pokejungle League Tournament. Click on the links marked: Bracket 1 and Bracket 2
Awesome thanks haha
Aw man i was looking forward to battling you but hey at least i get to battle earthen xD
Same xD
If you win. You get to battle me (if I win)
Cool then lets win this! Haha
Lol. Yeah.
But even if we don’t, I’ll still battle you, just unofficially
True xD
http://pokejungle.net/forums/index.php?/topic/145-official-pokejungle-league-tournament/
Over here
Do we have to battle our Round 1 opponent first? Or can we battle any of our scheduled opponents in any order? I’m in bracket 2 and my Round 1 opponent hasn’t gotten back to me yet. (I’m TheKecleonBandit)
Any order
Oh ok i was wondering who that was, now i just need to find out who mr roboduck and dylan are xD
Actually, Anon, I think we’re supposed to battle xP Wanna do that now?
Ok let me get ready haha
gg! I’ll update the bracket. That Fire Blast crit/burn xD
Ikr! Haha
Ok my fc is 2981-7989-0992
Ign Edwin
Ign Mr. Worthing. My FC is on the forum thread
Added!
Is there a pokemon restrictions or can i just use anything?
It’s OU. If that’s a Speed Boost Blaziken you’ve got….it’s illigal
Oh geez.
Oh shoot then i have to change it :/
Should we forfeit?
yea
Challenge me when you’re ready
Ok im just checking if my other pokemon are not ubers xD
pretty sure they’re not 😛
Haha just in case but im ready now!
Man.
Is anyone in division one of the tournament around, I’m itching for a battle
I would, but I’m not home
Got em ready, later this evening k
Yeah.
Give me FC Now ITS GO TIME!!!!!!

IGN- Alex
Are you Edwin by any chance?
Nope thats me haha
Ohh then Armageddon where did you go?!
Got your friend code are you ready to Go!?
Finally got Female Chikorita, named it Radish.
I think this is a radish
That’s why I named it Radish. I saw that picture before
lol xD
I posted that one the other day 😛
Which do you guys prefer, Phys vs Special Lucario?
Prefer as in?
Competitive usage? Which is better?
I’m not qualified to give that kind of info. I suck at competitive.
Aw come on, you’ll be fine, I bet you at least fought in the battle (something) or the PWT? 🙂
Well. My team for the tourney is pretty good.
Physical
Physical if normal Luke
Mixed if mega
Wow, I use Special more often xD
Nasty Plot and stuff on Special, also 5 more base stat points
But Bullet Punch and EQ are available on Phys
lol, dunno which one i like better
I think EQ is slightly redundant to Fighting’s coverage though, so… another point for Special?
Eq is good for a team i use on showdown, due to me having nothing really to tackle some electric types
Ah, I see. Though maybe you could leave Ground to other things..?
For now, it has worked favorably, but I have yet to find a good EQ/EP user in replacement
I found a good Earthquake user! Gonna go back to special now xD
Special. It’s rare to get a special fighting type.
So if you play showdown with your account on a different device, you won’t have your teams?
Aw gosh darn it 4-0 xD good battle nonetheless it was awesome ben! 🙂
~Me after every battle
Green wanna battle now Armegedon disappeared and I need a battle or Anon you?
I’m not at home. So no wifi. Sorry
It’s all good
Sure i can battle we are not in the same division though so it wont count for the tournament
I know just itching for a match
I’m back
Hmm I battle stopped what happened?
It was a good game! Green, are you in Division 2?
No. Div 1
Saw this on VP. anyone got any guesses as to what it is? (RF)
given it looks like a Koi pond, and we see what looks like Magikarp on the bridge, perhaps shiny magikarp? Like this place is wealthy enough to import valuable shiny pokemon to live in the pond. Either that, or a new pokemon.
I love that place! It looks like a decoration on the bridge.
It’s probably the thing on Ula Ula with the bell tower looking thing.
We discussed in the staff chat and we think it’s just some decoration. The colour perfectly matches the rest in the area.
Just a reminder people. Remember to record your results on that third link
Yup I got Anon and I recorded.
Thanks!
No prob 😉
WHY DOES EVERY TEAM I BATTLE HAVE EARTHQUAKE?!?!
are you serious?
No. Cuz even I have it
Me too
Dig is better than Earthquake anyway.
But every team has Earthquake so you don’t want dig because it’s 2x more powerful.
Dig is way better though. Only noobs use Earthquake.
Then everyone’s a noob
Exactly. Use Dig.
Advice from a pro, Use Dig on a Physical Raichu, they never see it coming.
Then they switch to a Flying type
See that’s the beauty of it. Then they get smacked next turn with a Volt Tackle. Fully legit strategy 10/10 will work.
Unless it’s a Dig and Gravity Clefable if it can learn Dig
Switch to pokemon with Levitate – Dig misses.
*pretends he doesn’t have a flygon with earthquake*…
Whoever battles me first gets to see my team first, but I’ll tell you one of my Pokémon…..’s Nicknames. It’s Tide Pods.
P.S. You can never figure that one out.
Hmm sounds like either wash rotom or poliwrath but idk xD
It’s not that obvious lol
Politoad
Tentacrule
Kingdra
Lanturn
Gorebyss
Huntail
Luminion
Floatzel
Swanna

Damn, that would have made sense.
Porygon Z
Malamar

Salamence
Gg kurusu you have a pretty solid team!
Thank you!
Did you win?
Yeah the thing is that once i get my team all set up it hits pretty hard but if i cant get it set up i get screwed over xD
Yeah. I understand. I have the same stuff. It either works, or it faints.
Yeah he got me caught in the… That pun would give it away so I won’t say it
Lol!

I’m just kidding.
It was posted tho. It had 24 upvotes
Why is Raitcate Hilary Clinton?
It hides emails in its cheeks…? Idk
That’s just weak.
It’s not my joke tho. I personally don’t have anything against Hillary. No one reply to this. We are NOT taking about politics on PJN.
Lol.
I thought The Ratata line was a representation of the Mexican drug cartels, and the Yungoos line basically Trump. Much better analogy.
I think of Italian Gangsters
Because hillary raticlynton? K bad joke sorry
I’m sure the creator of the meme just hates both Trump and Clinton. (They have good taste then, in my book.)
@TheLastKurusu
Could you wait 10 minutes.
Something happened to my wifi
Ok was gonna fix something so I’ll be back in a few mins.
i swear they better start banning Serene Grace or just Togekiss all together
They also need to ban Levitate. Stupid ability. How am I supposed to hit things with Earthquake and Dig?
Mold breaker/smack down/gravity 🙂
Only Mold Breaker is legit. Does anyone even use Smackdown or Gravity. We need an auto Gravity setting ability.
That would be neat! A pokemon so dense yet so small it has a small gravitational field a rock/psychic type perhaps
(refresh)
That thing has always been OP.
Use a Earthquake or Dig Clefable and you should put Gravity on it
perfect for Minior cuz he…..falls
it causes me so much grief
but in all seriousness Para-Flinching is a very real threat
No, you should adapt to work around it. I see everywhere to ban this and that, but banning Serene Grace is cutting it way too close to “If I can’t adapt to beating it, let’s remove it.” This isn’t a jab at you, just the competitive seen as a whole.
As far as I’m concerned, the only thing worth banning is legendaries, everything else I’m fine with.
Or you could use Skill Swap and steal it for your own use.
Not to sound greedy, but I’m really looking forward to the leaks. Rockruff has so much potential (and I just had a dream that I had a demo of sun and moon or something and I encountered Cutiefly’s final evo before anyone else). Beyond that, I used to think I wouldn’t check until the games came out because of all the spoilers, but this game is so damn big, I have no idea what is a major spoiler and what is a basic new element to the game. On top of that, GF has never revealed all the pokemon, so Ill be fine. That said, leakers and data miners will not be getting any views from me because I want some surprises!
I’m not looking at anything 2 weeks prior to the game. I was going to stick around for the leaks, but this time we have an actual story and way too much to be leaked.

Man.
All of my pokemon are brought over from XY or were hatched in ORAS.
They all have the pentagon, and none of them are hacked.
So why does it say some of my pokemon are banned? .-.
How are you trying to play its normal rules single match so I’m not sure what’s wrong
Also, I feel like for a while, there were pokemon being released left and right with interesting, new, competitive abilities. Now all the new ones seem to have abilities we’ve seen before that while helpful, aren’t new or interesting.
I want new abilities! Komala, Oricorio, Bruxish, Mimikyu- these abilities are so impressive and game shaking.
What new abilities would you like to see?
They can’t give everything new abilities or we’d end up with the number of abilities rivalling the number of pokemon. They should always try to keep new abilities to less than half of the number of new pokemon.
You forgot Salandit’s Corrosive by the way. Steel types will never sleep again.
I wish Illuminate hadn’t already been defined as attracting wild Pokemon because I would have liked it to either weaken or resist Dark moves, which would make Illumise and Morellul more powerful.
I’d like a variation of Mold Breaker thats more accessible to other pokemon, at the moment it seems to be heavily oriented towards pokemon that are already tough (except Basculin, nobody likes Basculin). And a variation of Magic Bounce usable by some of non-mystical pokemon (at the moment it’s restricted to dark, fairy and psychic types). The same for Magic Guard.
For entirely new abilities, I’d like to see some abilities that make all moves of a certain type have an added chance to cause a status effect if they don’t already have it.
For example:
A Water/Electric pokemon with an ability that makes all Water moves have a small chance to paralyse.
A Normal/Electric pokemon with an ability that makes all Normal moves have a small chance to paralyse.
A Normal/Fire pokemon with an ability that makes all Normal moves have a small chance to burn.
etc.
Make those 10% chances and not 30% and you may be onto something.
I was thinking 5% so it’s not too OP, but 10% if it’s not too spammy.
I think multi strike moves would incur the ability on each hit anyway, so using something like Barrage or Comet Punch and it landing 5 times means you’d have something like a 25% chance of success. (I know that’s not quite how it works, but you get the point).
10% would up that to 50% on 5 hits.
I agree it would powerful for multi hit moves, but there are very few of them, and the chances of you hitting all 5 times or even 4 for that matter are low. At most it will be 2-3 hits each times (20-30%).
5% could work, but the thing with abilities like these is…it just amplifies the luck aspect of the game more so than it already us.
We’re talking about a new ability so introducing new moves with it wouldn’t be out of the impossible.
It would be nice to get some more multi strike moves anyway, Aipom and Ambipom only learn two and Cloyster and Shelder only learn three.
Luck has been there from the day they had accuracy and evasion, it’s impossible to avoid it.
The stacking isn’t that straight forward.
Ignoring evasion and accuracy, that’s a 5% chance of the effect activating and a 95% chance of it not activating. If it hits, all other hits are irrelevant because status can’t be applied twice, so that’s an effective 100%, if it missed then the next hit has a 1/20 chance of activating the effect, and so on.
For a 5% effect over 5 hits the chance of not working is 77% (0.95 ^ 5 * 100) and the chance of being applied is 23%
For a 10% effect it would be 59% (0.90 ^ 5 * 100) chance of not working and 41% chance of working.
Oh and one I forgot:
A pokemon with an ability that
prevents entry hazards from being placed and automatically removes entry
hazards upon entering battle.
Best. Ability. Ever.
Otherwise known as the day Entry Hazards died.
Exactly. So tired of Rapid Spin and Defog being the only viable options to combat them since those moves pretty much only have that one use.
Clean up
I want more refrigerate and pixelate like abilities.
Plus can there be an ability that causes ghost types to be hit by normal/ fighting moves. Maybe call it afterlife, or medium.
Maybe an ability that makes it so recharge moves can be used one right after another without the recharge. Like an infinite sunny day.
Realized that sunny day is not for recharge moves. DUH
Lol
Yeah. Call the Ghost one Spookify after the ability in Pokemon Shuffle. Water can be Liquify or something.
You mean like an inverse of Scrappy? http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scrappy_(Ability)
I’d probably call it something like ‘Haunt’ or ‘Poltergeist’
Would be OP but handy, might need a luck element to it or a trade off, like doing so reduces a stat (evasion or something).
A sunny day type thing for solar beam and solar blade would be good.
Oh it was just scrappy… The solar ability would be nice too. The OP recharge ability needs something to nerf it. Though it may not be as bad if they just reduced the power by a third. It could also make them act like protect instead, where it gets worse accuracy as it goes in succession too if they wanted. A hyper beam like that could be op but you wouldn’t be able to spam it that bad.
I’m bored and need ideas for something to draw. I can draw your Fakemon if you want. Or anything really
Not humans tho.
I’ve been trying to think of an electric/poison 3 stage Pokemon line based on a corroded battery. Try that 🙂
Thanks 😉
I’ll get back to you in around an hour.
Awesome!
Like Yugioh’s Batteryman line. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=batteryman+yugioh&num=20&client=firefox-b-ab&biw=1920&bih=945&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOzq6doIXPAhXqD8AKHU7kAMUQ_AUICSgC
Oh neat. I don’t know anything about YuGiOh
I’m still upset that nobody gets why I said that someone should name their Mudsdale “Blinky”.
I only know of Blinky from Pac-Man
http://www.clipartbest.com/blinky-pacman
No idea. But for what it’s worth, I don’t nickname my Pokemon. Ever. Since I first started playing Pokemon.
I’ve never nicknamed either, but I like coming up with names for other people.
I stopped for Gen.6 but I’m gonna do it again for Gen.7
I never do it on m first run though. I do sometimes post game, during nuzlockes, and I nickname my competition Pokemon,
I really don’t do anything special I mostly do one play and I keep it unless I get bored and I want to start fresh
What if for the next gimmick for the next Pokemon game of Gen 8, it’ll be something that would cause two Pokemon to fuse together as one, such as Venustoise and Kyurem (considering that it’ll be out the same time as it’s 10th anniversary, 2020)
I don’t think they need a gimmick, they just need a good story.
Besides which, gen 7 isn’t even over yet, there’s no sense thinking about gen 8
Like there’s no sense with all these coincidental cameos within the anime. Face it, they are far more ahead than any of us ever think. They’re already planning for Gen 8 just as we speak.
They’ve had the ability to fuse/chain moves in the anime since forever and they never added that mechanic to battles despite having it in contests (to a degree).
It’s always bothered me… when Exeggcute evolves, what happens to the other three eggs?
Maybe those eggs sprout into the body.
I hope they weren’t sentient, because that would be creepy, and effectively mean they die.
Well there was that cracked one. Idk about the other 2
Well Paras essentially dies in evolution look at its eyes
I’ve always thought of that as more of a symbiotic relationship.
But yeah, some of the Gen I pokemon are horribly creepy.
Maybe they’ll make a Parasect without the mushroom takeover ; n ;
They weren’t fit to survive so they died off and the 3 Coconuts git the good traits from the three survivor eggs. That’s how evolution ACTUALLY works.
Cue the dead Exeggcute ghosts becoming a new pokemon.
I’ll be at the beach for the next week so if I find any Sandygast or Palossand, I’ll send you guys pics 😉
I just noticed something: why hasn’t anyone recreated the route music or the festival music from the E3 gameplay? Anothe weird thing: we have no town names yet.
Yeah, the town thing’s been bothering me.
We know some locations though e.g. The Lush Jungle
What confuses me is this: in the E3 footage, when we leave the house there is no town name title (you know, like the one that appears when we enter route 1). There’s also nothing when we enter the festival, and that’s gotta be a town. But that was a cutscene so idk.
The location shows up on the trainer card though.
They might be removing the name for everything but the first visit in an attempt to make things more fluid or realistic. Or maybe it’s an attempt to get people to read signs and remember locations.
Those signs look amazing.
Signs are underread and underrated ; n ;
Verdant cavern too right? Verdant has to do with green right or am I making that up?
Yeah, the name was something like that.
Verdant means green, as in having lots of plant life, so it will be that cave Team Skull were occupying in one of the trailers.
Just hope the leaks will come on the 11th or the 12th, cause if we have to wait the 13th, it’s better not to have any and just wait for the 14th official trailer.
I found a good search app for Go so I can find some easily sadly two Kabuto’s that are around for 3 minutes are at an hour drive distance and a Chansey at my local park which is 10 ish mins. Away and it was almost gone when seen on the app.
It never really occurred to me that Ash’s Noctowl was a shiny. I think for Alola he should have another.
I didn’t know until now. He should’ve had a less subtle shiny.
I knew but only because I read too many wiki articles.
Same here
I always knew, but yeah. He shoulda had like a shiny Heracross
I’ve always wondered, how do we have Corocoro leaks constantly each month?
I think the stores get the magazine early and then the employees just takes one, scans it and post it online.
I do wonder if it is often the same employee.
Yea I wondered that too. what site does it originally get posted on?
I have no idea. I just see it on serebii,
Why do Karen’s pants look like they’re lower than her waist…
Because they are (image)
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bcceu90Ew4c/SyrVLXHtz5I/AAAAAAAAFO0/deES6h2v6uM/s320/waist_hips.jpg
Sorry. I meant her hips, but they seem low
High-waisted pants. Low-waisted pants. That is only the snobby perception of people. Truly fashionable people should try to wear their favorite pants.
Lol
I hope Brock gets a Stufful
Everyone deserves a stufful
Everyone deserves Brock to come back to the anime
everyone deserves a new anime…
Machine wash only…
Assuming Brock returns.
No. He will.
Stuff-a-Stuffle Workshop
Build-a-Bewear
I want Misty to have Wishiwashi *3*
I want Brock to have:
Bounsweet
Stufful
Mudsdale
Vikavolt?
No Rockruff or even minior?! I mean Ash is sort of destined to get Rockruff but still!
I hope his female companion (aka Misty) gets Minior.
You know what would be perfect for Misty?! Wimpod! She’s afraid of bug types so she could totally come to love it as a little arc for her 😀
Bounsweet is more of a James pokemon and Vikavolt is more of a Jessie pokemon.
Stufful and Mudsdale I can agree with, but I think Brock would have Rockruff if Ash doesn’t get one.
Plus having a horse would kind of mean they don’t need to walk everywhere.
If Mist comes back, I’m done.
If Misty comes back, I’ll die and actually watch the show again
In the tournament, is baton passing two stat increases at once legal? For example, speed boost and swords dance?
I need to know. I’m unsure if I need to change my team or not
If not it’s a crazy rule.
It is. I wanted to, but we can’t sorry. 🙁
That’s a crazy rule.
Yeah it’s a bit extreme, but that’s what we’re doing.
Can’t you make an exception? Like I’m fine if it has to be this way but as you said, it is a bit extreme
Indeed. It pretty much means that all a person has to do is run a speed boost baton passer, set up a swords dance or something, and they get a very easy sweep. I mean I know the wording says “Moves” in the rule, but shouldn’t an ability that effectively does the same thing, but better still fall under that clause?
Eh, I don’t care that much. I’m just afraid that if I make an exception than everyone will want exceptions to different thing. Go ahead though, I just hope this doesn’t get out of hand. >.<
I’m kinda screwed because my team is kinda based around this D: I’ll figure it out though. I understand why you dont want to make an exception here
Question: Would Hone Claws apply? If a pokemon had hone claws and baton pass, no speed boost, would that be okay?
Anyone want to battle in showdown?
random?
Sure
give me ur name.
Sniperoi
SexyScizor. Here you go.
Don’t pay attention to the words. (Refresh)
Dats real cute
Do you want to fight now???

Sorry, I’m about to battle with MelloMori. After? It’ll be around 15 minutes I’m guessing.
Ok Armageddon where did you go?!
So apparently the GO update (buddy Pokemon) is up but it doesn’t show on my phone. Wut
They might be releasing it regionally.
Oh got it
Just a guess though, but serebii said it’s a gradual release

I feel like it’ll be so cool playing through moon at night.
Only getting Sun:
Rowlet
Alolan Sandslash
Rockruff (depends on evo)
Jangmo-o

I found out that one Pokémon that I got from a local trade from a friend was QR coded and hacked.. So I am now in the process of breeding it again. It’ll take about an hour or so..
Sorry didn’t know till now
I can’t contact MelloMori. Wanna fight now?
Yup! Ready Fire!
FC: 4785-4857-4656
And Isthme for IGN?
Andrew, sorry, I forgot that.
No prob.ready!
Sorry about the IGN. I thought I was playing from Y. Yeah it’s nuzlocke.
I feel so stupid about that move. ._.
GG! I like your team! I feel like without the will o wisp, your mega would’ve torn through my team.
Yeah yours was interesting first one with no… Particularly annoying Grass type
We have a history together, along with the ghost type.
Hey Kurusu. If you like I can face you after ithsme.
Ok just at the moment Wonder trading for lucky Pokemon to train then trade
no rush. Just finished the match with him. GG and good win man.
Just message me in the forums when your ready.
I’m sorry as well .
I’ve been asking for battles the whole day, and I didn’t even check my team on battle spot
Anyone from Division 2 of the League Tournament good to battle? The forums seem quiet right now but more people are chatting here. Just lemme know!
Best Pokemon Designs of Sun/Moon thus far:
– Rowlet
– Litten
– Wishiwashi
– Salandit
– Jangmo-O
– Pikipek
– Rockruff
– Komala
– Vikavolt
– Mimikyu
– Mudsdale
– Fomantis
– Lurantis
– Oricorio
– Palossand
– Sandyghast
– Turtonator
– Pyukumuku
– Type: Null
– Solgaleo
– Lunala
– Tapu Koko
Weird, but cool:
– Stuffle
– Bewear
– Drampa
– Bruxish
– Gumshoes
– Yungoos
– Popplio
Pokemon Sun & Moon:
– Number of Pokemon we’ve known thus far: 42
– Number of Alolan Pokemon: 10
– Number of Pokemon w/ supposed evolutions and guardians: 56
– Number of Alolan Pokemon + known Pokemon + Ultra Beasts: 53
– Number of Pokemon altogether: 67
Still don’t think ultra beasts are pokemon.
I agree.
Think I’ve finally got my Sun team, fingers crossed that there’s not type overlaps:
Litten
Popplio
Rowlet
Rockruff
Grubbin
Jangmo-o (hopefully it’ll become dual typed but it’s okay if it doesn’t)
I just wanna know if there’s gonna be split evos for the starters/’Ruff, either version, time or island exclusives – mainly cause I like to be prepared and work out my team right down to the moves. I feel that version exclusive evos aren’t as likely however both the island and time are big things especially with the time difference and the fact that the islands have different biodiversity.
Do feel like the secret is gonna be Z move related but ya never know what Gamefreak will do
As for my Moon team when I eventually get it, if more cool Alolan Forms are out there, they’ll join the Ninetails, Marowak & Raichu and I’ll go ahead with them!
I had 3 fire types on my Y team. I’ve learned not to care about type overlaps.
I overlapped types, rotated teams, and such so much throughout X that I pretty much forgot what my actual team was.
Team rotation can be fun, but it kinda bothers me that I dont have a clear team.
I think I had these Pokemon on rotation:
– Delphox
– Talonflame
– Goodra
– Florges
– Roserade
– Gardevoir
– Sylveon
– Gogoat
– Aegislash
– Trevenant
– Aurorus
– Noivern
Oh wow thats a lot. When I do rotate it’s usually only 7 or 8 pokemon.
The only games I did not rotate my team were Platinum and BW. I rotated for XY, B2W2, and ORAS.
Maybe Pyroar, Heliolisk, and another one, but I probably had them on my second run and not first. I don’t remember.
I just get really annoying about type overlaps tbh. I’m fine having move type’s overlapping but not the Pokemon’s type, just the way I play Pokemon haha
Can you not knock off mega stones? o_0
Nope!
That’s odd. I predicted a switch so well, but then it didn’t knock off.
Nope
I wish it specified that in the move description.
@TheLastKurusu, I’d love to trade, but I really have only this team and maybe 3 other pokemon on this game. This is just my nuzlocke playthrough file. xD
Oh ok if you need an extra I have lots of Trades like Machoke and Electrik
I just got in wonder trade another Ditto now I have 3
Kinda scared of the kecleonbadit rite now xD
He has a record going it seems.
Lolz xD Sorry if I’m being intense at all. I haven’t had the opportunity to do a competitive tournament in a while – in fact, the last two that I’ve signed up for ended up falling through and not happening…so I’ve been looking forward to this one 🙂
Not a jab, just i saw you already are 2-0 rite now. Gotta be careful with you xD
Haha okay xD Well let me know when you’re ready. I look forward to the match!
Oh no, hehe. 3-0. Well, tomorrow I’ll contact you, after the Bears game. Good luck!
Also, Poekoko, what’s your FC?
If I was a trainer in the Pokemon world I would want to travel in Sinnoh first as it would be my home region and my ace Pokemon or partner would be a Roserade. My goal would be to become an Elite Four member or Gym Leader. I would want my team to be:
– Roserade
– Eevee
– Honchcrow
– Lopunny
– Glameow
Same on Sinnoh, not counting Alola because I don’t know if I like it yet. xD
My team in the real world would be:
– Staraptor
– Torterra
– Quagsire
– Ampharos
– Arcanine
– Zangoose
-Unova, Opelucid being my home town
-Snivy(Forrest)-partner
-My goal would be to travel around the regions with unova being first obviously, then alola(if it is part of the same country as unova in the pokeverse) or some region close to unova
I forgot about my city/town: I would be from Twinleaf Town.
Hearthome.
-Nimbasa, Unova
-Haxorus
-Become an Elite Four Member
Anyone from division 2 up to a battle?
Not to sound rude, but wasn’t there a forum created so that us non tournament players dont have to read 25% of the posts on here that now pertain to it? I’m thrilled for you guys, and wish I had time to join, but still…
Yeah, I’ve tried to get people to organize things over there, but I’ve done all I could.
I appreciate it. Not trying to seem like a crabapple, and Im not good at staying on topic either (I never talk about the article I post on for very long, usually my posts become speculative or wish list discussions which still pertain to pokemon) but still… it’d be nice to not have to read the same kind of posts all the time for the next few weeks (which will be the last remaining weeks im on here until the game’s release) then like I’ve said, Ill take a brief hiatus to discover things for myself, and then Ill probably be back to discuss.
Same. I’m leaving 2 weeks prior to the game’s release. I wasn’t going to, but now we have multiple mysteries and stories to discover, and I just can’t let that be spoiled for me.
I dont have a forums account
It’s easy to make one. You really should if you’re in the tournament.
Yeah ik but the thing is that i dont really understand how to use them xD
It’s pretty straight forward. I only recently made one myself.
Oh ok then i’ll try later so that i dont bother anyone here haha
Thanks!
This ^^
omg, why can’t I remind Togekiss baton pass? I wish I knew about this rule before the battles D:
Is it a pre-evolution move only? If so, you may have to re-breed…
Yeah it is. I thought it could be reminded after it evolves but nope! Blaaaah today is so frustrating!
That really sucks :/
Everybody seems to already be planning their Sun/Moon team already! There’s a lot of Pokémon that I’d want for my run through team, but at this point I’m only certain of three: Rowlett, Minior and Salandit. I have to see all the other new ‘mons and Alolan forms before I decide on the other three.
It’s just fun to pre-plan. I’m sure my team will change as more pokemon get announced, or, if I’m lucky, I see a surprise pokemon in game.
At the current reveal rate, I don’t think that’s likely to happen…
Really? Theyve never revealed everything before a game. Black and white had like 50 of the 150ish pokemon if Im not mistaken.
True. If Sun/Moon has around 150 new Pokémon/Alolan forms, then that might be the case. But if there’s only 100 or so, I don’t think we’ll have many surprises. I mean, look what happened with ORAS and mega reveals.
I feel like maybe 110-115 to compensate for XY. Plus Alola is full of wildlife they’ve said.
Inb4 Full of wildlife= 50% old pokemon
25% alola forms
25% new pokemon
Jk haha
I mean, that could very well be the case.. 😛
Yeah…hopefully not xD
While they might reveal all of the new base forms of pokemon, the evolutions of some are still gonna be a mystery… hopefully.
Didn’t BW dex get leaked? I know it’s not really related, but I’m curious.
It did, and Serebii almost got busted for posting everything…Joe’s been much more conservative about leak coverage ever since.
I do remember the XY one being leaked, back when everyone thought it was fake or incomplete because it only had 69/72 pokemon
I remember that. The good ol’ days. That was really fun, because in the span of those few days, I’d go away for maybe an hour or two, and when I came back, there’d be a new pokemon.
I have a team in mind with the revealed pokemon but im waiting to see the rest of the new pokemon so it could change but right now it’s
Litten, Rockruff, Pikipek, Mudsdale, and Jangmo-o
I’m definitely considering Pikipek and Rockruff. Jangmo-o is too young for me to decide yet. Dragon Pokémon are notorious for looking WAY different in their final evolution, and Jangmo-o looks to be a three-stager.
Yeah i see jangmo-o as this gen psuedo-legend but we’ll have to see
I’m Finally ready.
Anyone wants to battle?
Divison 1 or 2?
Division 1.
Alright cool! FC?
2191-7950-5254
3669-2116-9969
It says yours is invalid
added. I’m online now
Says you’re FC is invalid..
oops.
2191-7850-5254
Added.
I’m coming online now
Hey do you want to battle afterwards?
Nvm.
Dang, GG
Did you send in the results?
I got them. 🙂
ok cool
Hey Arm, if you like add me as well 3394-3942-3500. If you like let’s face down sometime today.
I will after I finish my battle.
Can we do it Tomorrow I have to go soon and have time for one battle with Mellomori
As you can tell, I was extremely bored in my brother’s school, but this was fun (Refresh)
Oh shit waddup! Here comes Dat Gar xD
Datboi/cavemanspongebob and cleaning pods are my favorite lol
Dude, it’s like the episode where squidward is inside spongebob, but dat boi instead xD
Guys, friendly reminder: if you’re planning, taking part in or discussing battles please do it on our forums, we have places set up specifically for this purpose. 🙂
Yeah, I’ve been trying to direct people that way, but I’ll admit, I’m a bit guilty myself.
It’s tricky but I’ll try
It’s no different to doing it here, just it’s in the right place! 😛
1 down. 8 to Go.
Anyone else on?
I’m not able to come back till tomorrow so tomorrow for sure
I really wish the online battling had a cancel button.
I swear Pain Split shouldn’t work the way it should
it should equalize the damage done by the previous move, not add up HP and screw everything up
Hey guys look at this.
Why would Totems that differ from the game give off different Z-Crystals? And I thought I thought the fire pig and Ibearnate were false
I was wondering if it real or fake and we all know,i can sniff a fake a mile away. 🙂
Another one of these?
“N.067 – Horny.”
Debunked. Go home, everyone.
this list has tons of holes.
lol
Why is Nidoqueen Fighting/Poison? It should be Poison/Fighting, since Poison is Nidoqueen’s primary type in the form we have.
And it has a Pokemon called Horny, I very much doubt that’s legit.
I laughed out loud when I saw that. Who seriously has the time to come up with this garbage?
deviantart-Artmaster22
Also the fact that they say raticate will give the dark z-stone, despite the fact that it’s normal dark and its opposite is also a normal pokemon, meaning it’ll likely be considered normal for the purpose of this game.
I really wish Vikavolt is a totem Pokemon so that it can spawn Charjabug and do justice of its ability and description.
If it isn’t, it’ll be a huge missed opportunity.
Showdown is pissing me off
I feel ya. Had to find my footing again in the tourney so I had a rough couple of battles
all of them…all 13 battles i lost
I still want protagonist can grow up during the story but i know that will not happen.
Earthen bored, where’s Corocoro I’m so sick and tired of fake ass leaks that barely have any Ground or Fighting types
Mudsdale, Pillosand, Crabrawler, there ya go!
Those are already known
Well duh. And if you want some rock types, Rockruff, Minior. OH,and Rowlett (Or I guess you wanted Litten?) Bam! Made your team!
No. His team is Popplio3, Cutiefly, Ninetales, Mimikyu, Comfey, and Morelull.
Fuck you
C’mon man, I’m just messing with you.
Piss off
okay then. . .
I’m already mad about all the stupid Fairies cluttering up the dex and the sheer lack of things I like
Sorry that they aren’t catering to you?
Earthen what’s your team so far?
Popplio/Litten
Rockruff
Mudbray
Like literally no additions for months
Do you not like Palossand, Minior, Bewear, or Crabrawler?
Not enough to get a slot on my main team
Minior is stupid looking
Bewear ehhh
Crabrawler just don’t do it for me
I would’ve thought you’d’ve liked Palossand at least. Also I think Minior looks cool, I just hope it has a cool evo.
I haven’t felt any excitement for new poke in so long
Type: Null is my favorite gen 7 pokemon so far, so for me it hasn’t been that long. And TBH I haven’t seen a pokemon I genuinely dislike this gen since July. But I dislike almost half of the pokemon revealed before then.
Whirlwind OP
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-435110861
That team is disgusting. Really it is always good to see someone who knows how to use a good Skarmory, all be it a risky strat of one. Since I’m guessing all of its ev’s are in defense and S. defense. Really its a pain and a half to take down, but if something can heatwave or ice beam it down, it can be taken down before its setup is that effective.
Lol. How bad was that guy.
That guy was a disgrace
I just realized that Excadrill is the ultimate partner for a flying type.
Electric? Nope.
Ice? Excadrill counters it.
Rock? I don’t think so.
Stealth rocks? Not a chance.
Earthquake? Flying-type will have no problem.
Fighting type? Not with this duo.
That’s MY partner
Not a good partner with a rhyperior.
Wait, I thought Earthen was a a Rhyperior, in a spiritual sense, not literal.
I am a Rhyperior, but in most cases Excadrill is my strongest Pokemon (spiritually)
But statistically it goes
Mega Garchomp
Rhyperior
Garchomp
Excadrill
Yeah, I’m just playing around. xD
When I think about it, the type naming “flying” type is super dumb. I mean, why not Air type? Sky type? Bird type? It’s like calling water type “swimming type” or calling ground type “digging type”. I’ve never really thought about it until now though.
Because all the Flying type Pokemon are creatures that can fly, there is only one wind element Pokemon Tornadus, and saying bird is politically incorrect since plenty of non birds are flying types
Not as dumb as the bird type they were going to have before they scrapped it
In the original game there was a ‘bird’ type that got removed.
I agree it should be air or sky
If it were Air or Sky I feel like there would need to be some retypings. Castform is the first that comes to mind because of its weather attributes.
@green1289:disqus around here? I wanna battle you! Go to the forums if you’re here
Enjoy talking about this! Refresh if needed
LET IT BE REAL PLEASE
OMG LIKE,STARTER DESIGN CHANGES BASEDON CHARACTER, YESSS
i Sniff a fake >:D
nooo its fake 🙁
Not gender sign!
i Sniff a fake as always >:D
I never said it was real
I know, I’m just saying it’s fake. It really sucks though because I like it
Don’t worry the original will be far better.
It’s not real. It’s not, and it will never be real no matter how many times people post it online. Meme magic won’t work this time.
Isn’t it funny, how everybody loves Team Flare in the anime, yet they were stale af in the games.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-435153873 goes to show that in the end brute force triumphs
The second preview for the finale of the Team Flare arc recently aired and… damn! I got chills near the end! I won’t spoil anything so here’s the link:
– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaVksslmOgo
I wish gym leaders and E4 would show up more often when there’s a major threat instead of just letting a legendary trash things.
Also I can never get over how gruff Ash’s voice is in the original.
I nearly forgot Mega Garchomp could fly
That makes zero sense.
Well the anime stretches the truth a bit
But the fact is all of garchomp’s entries clearly state it can fly, but i see it more as a low altitude burst of speed and temporarily gliding
but putting Garchomp’s agility and body structure one could easily see it leaping into the air like a jet and rapidly bursting back down
Great explanation and if you examine the animation for Garchomp VS actual flying critters, the animation differs very slightly as Garchomp is very much like Hawlucha where he glides in bursts of speed as opposed to actually flying in the literal sense.
Yeah, the pokedex entry specifies that it has to fold up its body to do so, so the anime is (yet again) stretching things.
well that’s not entirely true either
“When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.” it merely resembles one not stating that it has to
Sounds to me like the pokedex writers got bored.
Ugh I hate knowing news are coming and having to wait hopefully something leaks tonight
I’ll bet tomorrow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxKW5ctFmMg
Other preview and this time it very much feels like a blend between Legend of Korra and the Celebii movie where the giant trash monster commanded by the villain rampaged through the forest.
Whoever recorded that somehow introduced an echo effect into the whole video.
I am wondering wat kind of announcement they will revealed during the anime.
Probably the new Sun and Moon anime series, a mini-series akin to Origins, the return of the original cast, the new movie, or something other, but my bet is on the new Sun and Moon anime or movie which will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pokemon anime.
one more week and maybe we’ll finally have assurance of serena not joining ash in alola :—————-(
Hopefully with all the celestial body and alchemic references Sun and Moon will delve deeper into the Pokemon Universe. This already seems to be the case judging by the appearance of Ultra Beasts who may or may not be classified as Pokemon and could be the game’s equivalent of aliens invading the Pokemon world. I don’t know, but that would be a cool concept.
Deoxys was an alien.
The Ultra Beasts are probably just pan-dimensional creatures. Like Giratina.
http://i.imgur.com/Cm1R1.png
I recently watched a video uploaded by PixPlays which suggests that Jangmo-o could potentially be based off the Hawaiian mythical creature Mo’o or supernatural lizard, dragon, etc… Now, the interesting aspect about the Mo’o resides in its drastic differences depending on gender: females are shape-shifters who often appear as beautiful maidens or water dragons whereas there isn’t much information regarding males… Anyways, it would be very neat if the final evolution was a split evolution depending on the gender of your Jangmo-o and the typing, abilities, and move-pools differ drastically to reflect the legends of the Mo’o.
What typing do you think the evo for Jangmo-o will be? I’m feeling pure dragon.
My predictions:
– Dragon/Fighting
– Dragon/Steel
An interesting tid bit about pseudo-legends, IF Jangmo-o is such:
– Every pseudo-legend has at least one immunity whether it be due to typing or ability (Goodra)
Then why couldn’t it have been called Jangmo’o? Are you trying to make me angry, Game Freak?
http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/18/18df2b56513f75a0930a1b8f8eada16b1acb44ed986b69144e9f0abb8b2c5b33.jpg
Ironically, Jangmo-o contradicts almost all of the major characteristics and attributes of the Mo’o:
– Jangmo-o thrive in canyons while the Mo’o thrives in bodies of water
– Jangmo-o are valiant warriors who are humble, but the Mo’o is prideful and vain
– Jangmo-o are more akin to European dragons whilst the Mo’o looks more like Salandit and is a literal translation for “salamander” in Hawaiian
Ehh…I’m still suspecting a Susano-o sort of name by the end. Maybe not. I don’t know.
I’ve heard stranger ideas.
We’ve heard about the Mo’o before.
Several people here have already suggested it.
That’s nice.
Just saying, people here tend to be quicker on the mark than youtubers 😛
Lol, I understand what you mean. I just got back on like a few hours ago, so I didn’t have to read through 2,000+ comments. 😛 xD
Actually I think it was closer to when it was first revealed, but I can’t remember exactly. Shame we can’t archive posts of importance 😛
True. But yeah, us Poke’junglers are fast and furious.
I’ve seen faster. Disqus has some crazy channels. It becomes impossible to keep track on a regular basis XD
I only follow one… 😀 LOL
Sometimes people have to give their own inputs on already-discussed topics. That’s how the world works.
As I said, just pointing out people here tend to be quicker off the mark than youtubers.
Earthen bored
somebody pitch me type combos
Electric/Rock
Electroscute Stegasaurus with lightning rod plates
Hmm. Fire/Electric
Living Ball of Burning Plasma
Solasma
Electric/Poison
Steel/Poison
Fairy/Poison
Fire/Water
Dragon/Fairy
Ground/Electric
*Cracks knuckles*
(i don’t know if this counts but)
Some kind of Slimy snail that inks out poisonous slime then electrocutes it
a melted trash can with a living puddle of slime that takes refuge inside
i see a naughty tiny fey like creature with long antennas and black violet wings that lash foes with venom, they spew poisonous mist to ward off intruders
a Living geyser, a tan rocky bowl shaped creature with a large spout that spews scalding hot water and flames out its head hole
a literal Dragon Fairy, Antennae, fairy wings on a reptilian gecko body with a long curled tail
lastly
a Thorny Devil with long electrified spines
Banana slug?
i wanted it to be a Whelk but the physics apply
Those things are weird.
Aparently some people over here eat them.
i’d eat them
but then again i pretty much will try to eat anything smaller then me
Love them!
Hey Earthen, when’s your team ready? I’m looking forward to battling you!
Fighting/ground
Oh god xD warhog incoming lol
Ice/Fairy
Alolan ninetales :3
Ooops, Lol! I forgot! omg, my most wanted type combo has been made hasn’t it?
I’ve decided that one day I’m going to nickname a Politoed “Travis”
http://i.imgur.com/6kw84kR.png
That’s such a cute picture.
Yeah, shame I didn’t draw it.
I just added the words. XD
(Not that I can’t draw, but, y’know, effort)
Iss okay. But man, that picture is tooooo cuteeee. <3
*grabs a stun gun*
pardon me
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEEEE!!!!
Kawaii desu ne!
Die frog and weed!!!
I can see as to why jangmo-o has bulletproof for an ability, but why does it have soundproof?
No ears?
It’s possible but many other pokemon dont have visible ears
Such as?
Unown, snivy line, many bird pokemon, klink line, axew line, hydreigon line, honedge line, litwick line, chikorita line, type:null(dont know if it counts as it has a “helmet”), many legendaries and those are just some that i can remember right now the list could go on and on as there are many more but i aint going to mention all of them xD
I think birds and snakes have inner ears.
I assume dragons would too.
The steel types, unown and litwick makes sense.
I expect Type: Null does.
Chikorita is ambiguous.
Anyway. Jangmo-o has that heart thing, it might act as a shield or sound canceller.
Exactly lizards do have inner ears so jangmo-o should too but like you said the scale thing might work as a sound repeller so now i can kind of see why it has soundproof haha
Typically there are two major types of sound cancellers. One works by being in a particular shape (I think it’s corrugated or something) that prevents sound waves from passing through. The other works by detecting the sound and then calculating and emitting the opposite wave, which cancels out the original sound. Either of which the heart thing might be able to do.
Besides which, how does Mr Mime have soundproof?
Abomasnow has fur that muffles sound, Bastiodon has a wall that could act as a sound wall, Exploud can do the sound playback thing, presumable Electrode just doesn’t have ears or something, and Bouffalant has thick wool.
Sidenote: I originally wanted Bouffalant to be an evolution of Tauros because I once designed a fakemon that was supposed to be an evolution of Tauros and it was a Buffalo.
Im guessing mr mime uses his magical mime walls to make a soundproof box around him and im guessing jangmo-o uses the first type of sound cancelling as i cant see that scale emitting opposite sound waves to cancel others
Maybe. That or it’s got some magic silencing ability because it’s a mime maybe. It makes sense but at the same time it feels too much like it’s been pulled from thin air 😛
I was thinking it might do the latter by making the heart beat/pulse to emit counteractive soundwaves. Could be either.
Immunity to Boomburst, Hyper Voice and Heal Bell – It’ll be a great Pokémon to put Substitute on.
True!
Just in case anyone missed it the first time round:
http://i.imgur.com/7Lb4DAO.png
Oh my goodness…I really hope its shiny looks like that D:
I’m going to sue if it doesn’t, because cyan is the perfect colour for Cutiely and its evo.
Its evo looks even more like Navi, but we’ve only got the one picture yet and I couldn’t be bothered to isolate the background to prevent that getting coloured too 😛
OMFGG!!! This along with the implementation of blue lightning, blue flames, etc… for certain Electric and Fire-Pokemon should be in Sun/Moon.

Just gonna leave these here and cry because we still have to wait 2 months
(Rf)
Forgot how tiny the characters used to look.
Ikr! I was surprised when i found the x and y pic
Not sure which I prefer though.
Part of me wishes the overworld used chibi and cutscenes used fully detailed.
Think about fully detailed, life sized Lumiose City… 0_0 the horror! I got lost in Lumiose City soo many times, I still don’t know my way around it.
I can just about make my way around, but I can never remember the order of the plazas, just the outer rims and the main alleys.
I feel like I find a new place or area every-time I just decide to eff it and not take a cab. Then I realize I’ve been circling around the same area the whole entire time…
True lumiose is arguably one of the worst traversable places in the pokeworld but it was mostly due to its weird camera angles and the fact that every corner looked the same
I think the same would happen to me if I went to America because of its grid system.
I havent been to many cities in the us but chicago, new york and orlando are pretty easy to navigate as they are diverse in architecture and the streets are pretty well labeled but yeah there must be some that are real mazes to walk around
They look so much better in SuMo
The glo-up is REAL!!! Honestly though, the transition from chibi models to slightly bigger ones to life-size is stunning and not to mention how amazing the visuals for Sun/Moon look. Just the thought of playing at night with Moon makes me want to buy Pokemon Moon and not Sun.
Is anyone else seriously bothered by his weird arm? I certainly hope it’s just that one angle, but it really irritates me whenever I see it. :p
I was looking at it aswell but i just think its the angle or he just has that weird pose in that conversation xD
i need to find a sturdier baseball bat
Why do you want to bash everything in the head?
is that a trick question?
I’m scared because i dont know if he wants to bash sina and dexio or me *gulp*
All 3.
D: All of the above
Well rip me, me is dead now
dead, buried and already decomposing for the carrion
You mean the Mandibuzz.
Sina… Sino…. SINO CUNFURMD!!!!
😮 *gasp* omg how could we not see this we have been so blind
RF for some cool Pokémon rides from the games.
I see what you did there… xD
omg flashback to D/P/Pt
Things from Pokemon I want to ride
Byron
Drayden
Archie
Kukui
Guzma
Lt. Surge
Bruno
Clemont’s dad
I didn’t even know Clemont had a dad
Yeah he’s also a super hero
I got upset that the Gogoat were borrowed and you couldn’t ride your own Gogoat.
Maybe they’ll expand on it. I’m more upset XY was so hyped and sucked.
When you look at them one by one and only take in the picture once you focus on it. Oh Gogoat, The Charizard boat, Cable Car…. Kukui!?
And then when you look at Kukui’s face
I didn’t notice Kukui.
I’m suddenly glad I didn’t upvote.
It’s so cute and derpy lol
Thank Arcues we have interesting, non-bland, and polar opposite-esque characters this time around. I honestly only remember Shauna and Serena from your little squad you had going on in XY. Lillie is mysterious, doesn’t like battles, and probably has a very deep past. Gladion is very much like Lillie in regards to Pokemon battles, but no matter his view point, if it is for the betterment of making the world “better” from his stand point, he will disregard that. Hau is very much like Barry, but seems to be more strong-willed, less annoying, and seems real (for lack of a better word) as if he were an actual person you could hang out with in real life. Of course this is pure speculation based off of the minimal information we’ve received, but I like the fact that GameFreak is already establishing a way to differentiate the characters and make them stand out and memorable. To this day I still have to Google the other two boys’ names… Trevor and Tierno…
Tierno the dancing maniac is underappreciated.
I pray he one day becomes Mirror B’s apprentice.
I preferred Tierno to Shauna, Shauna was creepy.
I think the live action adverts are supposed to be a metaphor for the player and Hau.
I concur with your last statement. Probably why it hit home for me so easily: I garnered my first true friends via Pokemon. 😀
So bouncing off of what someone posted a little bit ago, if you lived in the pokemon world, what would your team of 6 be? (+1 Legendary) Where would you live (Region, Town), What would your trainer class be?
Croconaw(Or Popplio3 if it ends up being real)
Lurantis
Mimikyu
Lopunny
Meowstic
Gardevoir
Legendary: Shaymin or Lugia
I would live in Ecruteak City and I would be a Beauty (XY)(oknoimnotbraggingimnotthatprettyilikethedesignandthepokemontheytendtouse)
edit 😛
I already posted mine, but oh well.
I would be born in Twinleaf Town, Sinnoh to Pokemon breeders and help around the house and with my parents’ work. However, unlike them, I would want to become a Pokemon Trainer. My partner or ace Pokemon would be a Budew I’ve raised since it was an egg and along the journey will evolve into a mighty, loyal Roserade. My dream would be to become a Gym Leader or Elite Four member.
– Roserade
– Eevee
– Honchcrow
– Glameow
– Lopunny
P.S: No legendary for me.
I think most pokemon would be hard to live with or take care of because of their weird features. For example you could get poisoned by an ally poison pokemon.
Also it depends if I’d be battling or living quietly because if I were battling and out to be a tough trainer I’d pick a team based on their power rather than how easy they’d be to live with, but if I were just trying to live an every day life I’d choose a different set of pokemon.
Well there exists two personas
Me as Me with non ground teams
and me as Earthen who pledged his very existence to ground type mastery
my regular team would consist of
Rhyperior
Emboar
Excadrill
Heracross
Aerodactyl
Pangoro
While my ground type team mostly is
Rhyperior
Excadrill
Hippowdon
Garchomp (on rotation)
Mamoswine
Nidoking
Seismitoad
*Bonus a Pet Sandshrew named Sandra*
And always Hiker class
Well i would be from unova and my hometown being opelucid(black style/futuristic one) my partner being my snivy named Forrest who eventually evolves into a serperior as for the rest of my team it would vary by the region im in with those other 5 being native to that region, my trainer class would be an Ace trainer(male,gen v style) and my legendary would be reshiram or rayquaza
Volcarona
Garchomp
Honchkrow
Magnezone
Milotic
Porygon-Z
Legendary: Mew
Live in Ecruteak as well or maybe Sunyshore! Probably Rich boy
Meganium
Ledian
Darmanitan
Vanniluxe
Mantine
Cradily
Legendary: Shaymin or Keldeo
I would go with Ecruteak because it’s absolutely beautiful. My trainer class would be Scuba Diver from ORAS. I know there’s no water in Ecruteak, but I travel.
You’re right by Olivine City! You can swim there!
There is that little lake with the fountain next to bell tower xD
“Oooo! I found a penny!”
“Meowth used Pay Day”
Quick! Catch it!
True XD
A whole ocean (with corsola) and you pick a pond?
Sounds more like a plain old swimmer 😛
My Ideal team would consist of 5 starter pokemon lol but limiting it to only 1
my team would be
Blaziken/Litten’s Tiger Mask based evo
Gengar
Gyarados
Garchomp (my mega)
Onix
Scizor
Legendary: Rayquaza
I would live in Castelia City
I’d be a Black belt
I would live in Ecruteak City, Johto
My Class would just be Pokemon Trainer
My Team Easy
Popplio
Weavile
Porygon2
Bounsweet Evo.
Togedemaru
Venomoth
And Legendary Suicune
(I’ve really over-thought this)
Let’s assume I’m living a normal life and I work either as a researcher or a programmer (someone’s got to keep the PC systems and pokedexes running).
Despite my love of Hoenn I’d probably live in Alola because I think it has more
variety than other regions and looks reasonably easy to traverse. I’d
probably live in a hut on a beach (not for the reason people probably
expect though), but possibly more inland.
For my pokemon I’d want:
-Komala, because I’m a terrible sleeper and it would be cool to have one clinging to my arm.
-Espeon, because it’s cat-like and psychic and reminds me of a nekomata
-Slowking, the second in command, to be in charge when I’m not around and to discuss ideas with
-Alakazam, another intelligent pokemon its memory will help me keep track of what I need to do and its psychic powers will be useful for jobs around the house
-Dragonite, my main method of transport and capable of running errands
-Delibird, can use its icy powers to keep everyone cool on a hot day and is perfect for delivering messages and collecting food/goods from town
There are many others I’d also like though, but we’re only allowed 6.
Special mentions: Skitty/Delcatty, Purrloin, Metagross, Politoed, Smeargle
For my legendary I’d choose either Solgaleo (because it’s a Lion :3), Mewtwo (because I can sympathise with it) or Deoxys (because of its intellect).
Oh, and my trainer class would be either Scientist or Pokemon Professor if those weren’t implicit 😛
Torterra
Togekiss
Quagsire
Ampharos
Arcanine
Type: Null
Oh! And Hearthome city, sinnoh, and I’d be an ace trainer, even though that’s kinda cliche.
Nice! Glad I found someone else that likes Type: Null
Legendary: Ho-oh or Celebi
> Hawlucha
> Toxicroak
> Medicham
> Lucario
> Kangaskhan
> Scrafty
Legendary: Keldeo
I would live in Lumiose City and I would be a Battle Girl (XY)
Totally not seeing the theme here. lol
Yeah, I know right, Kangaskhan isn’t a fighting-type. 😉
I often think it should have been.
And Comet Punch seems like a fighting move.
Some people are giving background on them so here is mine.
I would probably be a researcher of myths and legends in my downtime. But for the most part I go about my daily life pretty normal. Battling pokemon, doing contests, and playing video games. I would take a yearly vacation to Alola (Hence the alola pokemon in my team).
My background would be that my grandma was a breeder and gave me Forrest telling me it was a special and unique snivy (which by that she meant it had contrary) but i wasnt fond of battling because i had school work and such so i kept forrest as a pet and partner.
One day the school had a road trip to the local gym, Opelucid city’s dragon type gym. There, Drayden wanted to make a demonstration of what battling a gym leader is like so he asked for a voluntary and he chose me. I was obviously nervous but Drayden said he would go easy on me. I somehow manage to win with Forrest and Drayden is surprised so invites me to train with him and i accept.
There I discover that the power of each pokemon and how they use it is intriguing so I decide to head out and explore the world to find the different strenghts of pokemons, which is why i stay more time in alola and kalos, to learn more about z-moves and mega evolution respectively.
I also collect the gym badges or the equivalent challenge in that region along the way of my journey to find the answer of how pokemon can be such powerful creatures!
-Charmander
-Lampent
-Banette
-Rotom
-Froslass
-Sableye
Legendary: Lunala
I’d be a male Hex Maniac (not actually a thing, but I’ll be the first) residing in Laverre City, Kalos.
Lunaala <3
Funny thing was that I had the opposite legendary XD
Maybe we’re rivals then! 😉
Nice lol. But tbh both legendaries are awesome, and when I first saw them they were already my favorites
Solgaleo is on my list of Legendaries, I couldn’t pick just one 😛
I love it because although it isn’t fire, I always dreamed of a Sun legendary to come true. And I got one, and I was extremely happy about Solgaleo.
I just like it because it’s Lion.
And a quadruped *glares at tony the flaming tiger*
You prefer quadrupled pokemon?
Not always, it depends what they’re based on.
Generally if they’re based on quadrupeds (e.g. members of the cat family) then typically yes, I prefer quadrupeds. I will allow exceptions if it makes sense (e.g. Lucario).
Lmao
Sidenote: Solgaleo is cooler than Pyroar too.
Oh yeah by a long shot. I was hyped for what Litleo was going to be but ended up disappointed at the end result.
It’s not a bad pokemon, it’s just impressive either.
Pyroar’s been in a gray area for me too, it’s ok. Like on Random Battles on Showdown they manage to take out 1-2 Pokemon, 3 at the most, so it’s been meh for me, not a lot of bad but not a lot of good.
Male Hex Maniacs should totally be a thing.
And I forgot how awesome Laverre is.
Apparently their counterpart is supposed to be the Psychic, but I agree, I’d rather have the Hex Maniac.
Ah yes, I love topics like these. Anyway, here I go:
• Infernape (if it were possible, has bond phenomenon)
•Heracross
•Sandslash
• Tyrantrum
• Kingdra
• Swellow
– Haxorus
– Empoleon
– Tyranitar (mega)
– Arcanine
– Gengar
– Dragalge
– Castelia City (Unova)
– Ace Trainer (or Elite Four Member hehe)
– Dialga
Here’s a follow-up
Mega Accessories
-Where did you find your Keystone & Accessory
-what holds the Mega Stone on your Pokemon
-Mega Evolution Battle Cry
After i beat the unova league i travel to alola as its part of the same country as unova(maybe) and there i meet sina and dexio, after i finish my travels around the alola region they invite me to kalos so that i can meet sycamore amd he can congratulate me in person for finding some zygarde cells(though not all and i couldnt find a core) after that i thought of traveling kalos, after some time i get to shalour city where i get intrigued by mega evolution and its capabilities so i decide to stay a little while in the tower of mastery and train. There i recieve my mega accesory which looks like zinnia’s dragon themed one but mine would be a bracelet that goes on my arm and is gold in color, my mega would differ per region unless mega serperior gets introduced so i cant really think of what would hold the mega stones on my pokemon right now and as for a mega evo battle cry idk what that is but im guessing that its what i say before mega evolving them which would also differ depending on the situation and pokemon but most of the time it would be something like “Ok lets do this, I know we can!”
Sorry for the long post here is a cookie ?
One word: paragraphs.
And Serperior would have to have a sort of bracelet around its neck or tail.
-My Keystone was found in this bag of gemstones i “acquired” from some cave spelunker and i crammed it into my iconic ursaring tooth necklace
-Thick shield like plate of metal across garchomp’s neck

– “With our bonds united, our combined fury will end all who challenge us! COME FORTH MEGA EVOLUTION”
Idk about that, but my mega stone would be on a pin like steven.
Ironically Steven Stone is also a UK-based Jewellers.
Always wished he’d had his on a ring.
Zinnia’s keystone placement always bothered me. I know it’s supposed to be unique and all, but it’s so impractical.
All you have to do is reach down to your leg. Or in her case kneel.
But it’s way easier to have a bracelet.
What, you can’t put in energy to bend down? Shame.
If you knew anything about prison you’d know it’s never safe to bend down. Especially if there’s soap involved.
Nice
Holy crap, Zinnia’s a genus of flower!
Yeah, it is kind of, they should have made it a bracelet.
My accessory is a bracelet my mother use to wear for good luck when she was a young trainer. She gave it to me to help me in the Kalos League. One day I run across a society that are masters of mega evolution. I heard of it before so I wanted to know if they can grant me the power to do it as well so I can be a stronger trainer. But they told me it’s not that simple. They told me to take my Swampert and enter this cave of darkness and mist. It was a trial everyone in that society go through to test a trainer and pokemons bond. It was easy to get lost and you both can be separated in there, but if your bond is strong you’ll find each other and your way out. We both succeeded and they gave me a keystone and Swampertite. I asked them to attach my stone on my good luck bracelet, and they gave my Swampert an arm bangle and attached his stone to that. So now as our bond helped us get stronger, and in turn, unconciously whenever I activate mega evolution these words ecape my lips “Our bond becomes strength. Mega Evolve!”.
Probably in a little bow in my hair. My pokemon would probably have a necklace or a glove holding the stone
I’ve got my keystone on a ring (like Lysandre) because it’s more practical. I acquired it from Steven Stone, whom I semi-regularly communicate with due to the Devon corp.’s interest in my work.
I’ve currently only got one Pokemon capable of mega evolution but intend to acquire another at some point. My Alakazam wears its mega stone on a necklace.
I don’t tend to use a battle cry because I’m more of a strong silent type who believes actions speak louder than words when it comes to being intimidating. Occaisionally I’ll make a witty remark and smirk before activating the stones.
I found my keystone from Geosenge Town, nailing a good price with Gurkinn, who was visiting there at the moment. I wear the Keystone on my sunglasses. I got my Charizardite Y from getting stranded on a Mountain and then encountering it as I was making my way through it, and Charizard wears it on his wrist like a bracelet. My battle cry would be: “We’ve come this far Charizard! Now I call upon the power stronger than evolution, Mega Evolution!!!”
My keystone was given to me by a man I battled against years ago. When we battled I didn’t stand a chance. He sent out his Tyranitar as I sent out my ace charmeleon. We fought as hard as we could, but his Tyranitar was too strong. After that battle he said to come to him when I’m stronger. So I got stronger and soon I bumped into him again but this time with my Charizard. We almost beat him until he used the strongest of all evolutions. Mega evolution, and he beat us once again. But after the battle he told me to have the key stone. I never saw him again. I decided to place my keystone onto my sunglasses as it were quite convenient and I could shield my eyes from Charizard’s bright tail-flame. Our cry is “we must get hotter than fire, stronger than evolution, Mega evolution!!!!”
My Keystone was given to me by a sweet old woman as I was crossing the Sky Arrow Bridge. My garchomp and I looked at it, then turned to each other and laughed because we don’t need stupid gimmicks to win battles. The little stone went straight into the water, along with her corpse.
In my case, I found the stone while on a walk through the mountains. My Honchkrow had founded and decided to gift it to me. I carry the keystone in a necklace made out of nevermelt ice that was shed by a Regice. My mega stone is held by my Altaria in it’s cottony wings. My cry would be something like
“The peak of the crescendo has arrived! Hear my voice and end the piece! My final note? Mega evolution!!!”

Meowth danced the best
I’ve forgotten how much I loved James’ Mime Jr.
It’s weird how some moves effect humans too
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1473564460070.png best normal type by far.
Brief reminder that Arceus and Regigigas are Normal type.
Oh, and Zangoose.
In my opinion it’s the best.
It’s pretty cool! Cinncino, Furret and Lopunny are pretty cool too though
Bunneary is insanely cute. Not forgetting Skitty and Delcatty.
Its shiny ties it all together too. Plus its mega! One of my favorites!
Must admit, I thought Lopunny’s mega felt lacking and prefer it’s original form. I’m glad it got fighting type though, that’s what it should have had originally.
I like both. I think Mega Lopunny is a but cooler though. It is still super cute but could still be a really strong fighter
I’d like it more if it kept its original head (including ears and eyebrows) and it was only the body that changed.
But they aint type:null cool B)
What about Zangoose?
Or Ambipom and Porygon2??
Porygon2 is nice, I don’t really like Ambipom. Aipom is cool but Ambipom creeps me out.
Whose blood is that on its fingers anyway?
no, the best is bewear followed by purugly. it differs slighty from then on though.
I am hoping coro coro finally shows us the starters :/
I might have just discovered a team on showdown that works for me! FINALLY
Anyone wanna try battling me? Is that a thing you can do on showdown and not just be random? Ive never actually used showdown until today, but it has helped with my team building immensely.
I’ll battle! My username is GenderB3nt
Okay! Let me finish this battle. Ive only used it for one battle now, and myI have no real strategies for this team like I usually do beyond good coverage/ weakness covering.
Ok, cool! What is your username so I can send the challenge when you’re ready?
doublebwl
Ok, let me know when you are ready to battle!
ready!
just realized how hypocritical my earlier posts about the forums are now. Sorry everyone… I just got too excited.
I don’t know what they were, but it’s fine.
Anyone who’s willing to disown someone for something like that isn’t worth knowing.
Lol I was just suggesting that forums be used for the tournament like they were meant to. And then I go ahead and ask on here for a nontournament battle. Hope no one saw it as hypocritical.
Oh, I thought you’d insulted someone.
That’s pretty minor.
Maybe I’ll try tomorrow, I also got myself a nice team too.
Whenever dude!
any other takers?
Just looked at most recent episode in the show on Serebii (pics only) and Good God what the hell?!!! When did this become Digimon season 3? killing things and all this crying!
I’m now almost tempted to watch the anime, it sounds fun.
Honestly it is the Darkest of all seasons for a better one I would watch season 2 much better (I have seen all of 1, 2, 3 seasons)
“Darkest” – Sold.
Digimon Tamers, the only Anime Universe where Digimon are Dead for Good.
Ok I must go to bed its Midnight here! So Goodnight!
Lol same g’nite everyone 🙂
It’s 5am here *cries into drink*
Now I know that we won’t probably be expecting CoroCoro today, but please I hope Rockruff’s evolution is fantastic.
I seriously wanna see starter evos as well, mainly because it can pretty much confirm if the leaked final evos are real or not, cuz that Rowlet final evo looks EPIC!
Tomorrow night is the first night where I’ll seriously be anticipating CoroCoro leaks. Until then, good night all 🙂
nite
In case anyone was wondering what my reason for picking a beach hut on Alola for @silverriolualpha:disqus ‘s thing, three words: Death In Paradise.
