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?
