  1. Question: Have they ever revealed the post game features before the game’s release, or has that always been a secret? (Excluding Delta Episode)

      • Ugh. This is the thing that worries me most about Sun and Moon. I REALLY want the battle frontier to return, or at least something like it. One of the biggest flaws of gen 6 to me was little post game; I just really want some fun post game feature that has a real challenge (and variety). I know I’m kinda greedy, but the battle frontier was great, why did they remove it?

        • I hope whatever battle maison area we have will have trainers with more variety of teams with the pokemon (1 time ran into 3 tyrantars in a row, all seperate battles of course). But outside of that i hope there is more to the post game too

          • I fear that the Battle Royale Dome on Akala is the new Maison. I really hope now. I hope we have a resort island (like Pt, not like ORAS) which has a battle frontier/battle park and areas we can explore. I really wonder what happened, Gen 3 and Gen 4 had a great post game, but then they kinda stopped making a whole lot of post game in the newer generations. I know that most kids don’t play the post game, but if you’re making the games easier for the kids, at least make a hard post game for the veterans. Idk, I just really worry that SM will fall into the same trap that XY did.

          • Yeah, there is that. Hopefully a) GF realized that people want a BF from the reaction to ORAS and b) there is a large post game for a 20th anniversary game.

          • Tbh I’ve only ever really liked the Emerald battle frontier. I use the ORAS one, but only because I like rare items, not because I enjoy the stupidly easy battles.

            I found the Emerald frontier genuinely difficult and interesting, the rest I found pretty boring.

            I expect there will be lots of post game though. The Zygarde cells probably won’t all be found until the post game for one thing. Even if there isn’t much post game, the main game looks quite big on its own.

          • The thing in ORAS is not a battle frontier. The only games to have frontiers were E, Pt, HGSS. The key word here is frontier, they had many things to do, not just straightforward battles.

          • It’s battle frontier sort of thing. They have 4 variations of battles. It’s pretty much what RS and DP had.

            I didn’t like Pt or HGSS’ frontiers. I liked the extra areas, but not the facilities.

  2. Does anyone know about that rumor Dae was talking about earlier? I thought he said there’d be a post or an article or something, but it never happened.

    • The only time I could was when they revealed stuff on that kids Pokémon morning show. In the days of gens 1-3 I only saw news on upcoming games in magazines once or twice before the games were out. I usually saw new stuff in the anime before anywhere else.

        • Bruh I feel you so much. I’m in General Chem 1+2 (it’s a “special” combined class), but my professor lectured on Quantum Physics the first couple weeks. The extent of my physics knowledge is the 3 laws of motion and free-body diagrams…

          Reply
          • Weird, I don’t see how Quantum Physics has much useful application in standard chemistry (advanced subatomic stuff maybe, but not your basic mixing chemicals stuff)

          • It’s so strange. My professor says that it’s supposed to help us understand bonding and why things bond, but the only thing I got out of it is the shapes of some orbitals (which isn’t even the exact picture for all other non-H elements). I suppose it’s because he was a Physics grad student before combining it w/Chem

          • It’s probably one of those things that makes more sense if you come back to it after knowing other stuff.

            For example in programming, it’s typically easier to just ‘roll with it’ until you get a feel for things and then learn about what’s going on underneath rather than learning about what’s going on under the hood straight away.

    • It’s not exactly live, everyone will be watching at slightly different times because it’s not synched like live TV.
      The only live event was that games fair in germany where they revealed a grand total of 1 pokemon, then stuck the footage on a trailer on the website a few days later.

  3. Wait you know what I just realized? For the Blue short, what if, and this is a massive stretch, but what if we finally see who was the Champion before Blue? Sure it could be Lance, but also maybe someone else.

  6. I had an idea of an Alolan Joltik/Galvantula today. I know there are a lot of Alolan Ice re-types but I thought of a Bug/Ice one. Joltik would be a bigger ball of fluff with long legs that seem like sharp icicles. The fur would be a pale almost white blue and it would have light brown eyes. It’s legs would look like ice. Then Galvantula would follow a similar theme, though sleeker, with the ends of it’s legs being serrated to help it cut through ice and rock, and it would have darker brown eyes and grey fur on its back and icicle fangs. It would live in caves of the Snowy Mountains awaiting weary explorers to ensnare. It’s ability would be Static/Fur Coat. It reminds me of Aragog from Harry Potter or Shelob from Lord of The Rings. It would be more Physical and Defensive, perhaps a bit slower.

  8. Hmmmmmm thinking thoroughly… What if Pokémon is coming to an end? (I doubt OFFICIALLY ENDING but starting a new)
    In Revelations (the end days) a beast of the land (Groundon) and a beast of the sea (Kyogre) will rise. Then come the horsemen of the apocalypse (Ultrabeasts?)
    Arceus created Dialga and Palkia to rule over time and space. What if with Gen 4 remakes coming up… The PokéPocalypse started with Lysandre wanting to destroy the world? In XY, the the land and sea Beasts being raised in ORAS, then in SM the apocalypse officially begins, and with Gen 4 remakes Arceus destroys the world and then recreates it to start over.

  9. Ok. So I might be able to get a hoodie. I need a design that’s not obvious. Something that a fan would look at and say “that’s a cool hoodie” and a non-fan would say “what is the hoodie?”
    I’m leaning towards Sleeper 097 right now, but what do you guys think?

  10. I won’t make it right when it goes live tomorrow, since 6AM is too early on a late start day, but I’ll be there shortly after! Get hyyyyyyyped!
