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
