#BURNTHEHATS
And shaaaaades. Ain’t nobody deserving to see these eyes
We knew that a while ago.
This just confirmed more options.
I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had a chance to see most stuff. I’m trying to catch up
I’m sure it was quite a while back, I’ll check the trailers later.

I got more upvotes though 😛
Taimingu!
Upvotes dont matter…. you sir need a timeout
You’ve clearly never left PJ.
On BDYEA, upvotes are everywhere!
I cant breathe
Truuuuuu
Ha! That’s pretty good.
Glad to see that LONG discussion on Lycanroc being version exclusive not being a waste! I’m all for version exclusive evolutions.. keep them coming!!
If i dont get my eyepatch in sun and moon im gonna cry…..
IF FE CAN DO IT, POKEMON CAN DO IT

the reason raichu become psychic is because Snorlax, force was so power powerful that it gave it a second type
Mega kangaskhan using power up punch, oranguru letting him use it again, baton pass the boost?
I see them changing how Parental Bond works this gen. Additional effects would probably be removed for the second hit of every move
Umm… No.
Asuming megas are still around…
I’m pretty sure it was confirmed on Pokenchi at some point in time
I can’t even bear to watch the trailers for the episodes, Pokenchi is so cringeworthy DX
just read about the Bank, and the idea that you can no longer transfer Pokemon to and fro from older Gen 6 games after being in Sun and Moon, makes me want to quit Pokemon to show how much of a money-grabbing ripoff of a company it really is.
No offence to anyone here
ummm….. did you not play GS?
the only reason i can see why is because of new moves
Why? Is this a problem for you? Normally, once I move up the generation, I tend to never go back except to nuzlock.
I’m more pissed off at the fact that they haven’t allowed us to move items.. I have a TON of battle items I will have to get again…
but what if someone wants to for nostalgic replay values? And use the Pokemon that they have in Bank?
Yeah……start from scratch? It is bad, but I wonder if they simply don’t want to deal with the bunch of issues that would entail.
Right!? What’s with the non-item transfer policy? That’s literally my only problem with Pokemon Bank.
All I wanted was the Gricious Orb for Giratina to be in it’s Origin Form?
Yes! All those hard-earned battle points.. down the drain!
Sometimes I don’t feel like wasting my time getting all of these again.. specially when I tend to make a set and give it an item and store it so I can easily create teams to use TT___TT
I thought that it was pretty obvious actually considering that happens pretty much every gen
^^^
Except gen 2.
(Install gentoo)
yeah but gen 2 was easy to do because they had fewer pokemon and stuff to work with
Actually they’d changed the way the pokemon were stored internally so they had to create a way to use a PRNG to generate the missing data reliably.
If anything it would be harder, these days all they’d have to do is filter a set of index numbers for pokemon, moves and items.
I only ever transfer replaceable stuff.
I keep all legendaries and shinies and stuff on the games I caught them.
I do miss bidirectional trading though.
That’s how it’s always been……We have never been able to send the Pokemon back to previous gens with or without Bank.The only time we could was with gen 1 and 2 and even then it was limited. This is nothing new really.
It’s not new, but it’s getting annoying.
With the exception of gen 1 and 2 when have we ever been able to send Pokemon backwards to a previous gen? Gen 3 and 2 were incompatible altogether, gen 3 to 4 was a one way trip going through that safari zone type of area, gen 4 to 5 was through that dumb mini game, and finally gen 5 to 6 was through through the transporter and bank. In none of those forms of transferring Pokemon from one gen to the next have we been able to send them back to the games they came from. So how is me saying that with the exception of the first two gens we haven’t been able to do it? Sorry not attacking or anything. I’m just confused as to what you’re talking about.
As I said, it’s getting annoying.
It’s about time we got bidirectional trading again. And I say again because yes, gen II did exist.
I love Haram…. i mean Oranguru and i thought midnight Lycanroc would have been Rock/Dark
when u have dance dance dance Pikachu on repeat…. it stuck in my head
Shigeru Miyamoto just posted this …….r u sure it’s a real account? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Csz0b6fXYAQxtrz.jpg
Someone had to say it.
its can easily make fake tweets.
You see the blue tick yes? Its the official account
No it can photoshoped easily ….no way pokemon company will not say that …..But I was mean Miyamoto account.
We know it’s not a real account, what made you think it was real?
Nah the account is real hence the blue tick, but they’ve photoshopped the words onto it
I thought he meant RealShigeruM
In fact he did mean RealShigeruM
🙂

People edit the html instead of the image itself? Fair enough.
F12 everybody!
yea i learned because amiibos i was able to add amiibos out of stock into my cart so when they did I had a fast checkout

And HTML isn’t a programming language, don’t let the filthy web devs tell you otherwise.
I’m just having fun lol
Seriously, it’s not.
It’s a declarative markup language, not an imperative or functional language (like C++, Haskell etc).
its like this
http://i.imgur.com/o8ox1eL.png
I made this just now btw
lol good one 😀
It’s not real.
https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/778234683117023232
No I was mean Miyamoto account looks fake for me.
RealShigeruM is 100% fake, hence why I go to him for memes and not the real Shiggy.
That account’s bio even says its a parody account. If people still take him serious thats their problem.
Uh, yes it is.
This guy is actually really cool. depending on his stats, I may actually use him first time around. Maybe
I’ve set it before, I’ll say it again, Gamefreak is trying to wreck the metagame as we know it with these new abilities lol (Not in a bad way).
maybe now people will get more creative instead of everyone using the same team over and over again, like its so boring
Hopefully they change VGC and take out the Primals so it’s “fun” again.
freakin primals anger me, even if they had of made it so you could only have one primal OR one mega, having them both in one battle is just… ugh
I was really surprised when I heard about this change!! So weird..
I really hope they change it, because I want to get into it with S&M. GF has never really liked weather being so dominant. Primal’s simply make it worse.
They should ban legendaries and mythicals from VGC alltogether. Its cheating in my opinion.
My sentiments exactly.
I’m fine with all the moves and maybe megas, but legendaries are OP.
Oh please they’re going to use the same carbon copy set
OMG ORANGURU LOOKS THE SHIT
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1474382643505.jpg
What the…?
Isn’t that the new snowman pokemon though?
Looks like the Diamond and Pearl remake Will be on the NX afterall. Seeing that the CEO to Pokemon has stated that Game Freak is now working on new Pokemon games for the NX, and that it is also hinted that the NX is indeed a hybrid console between a home console and a handheld console. I presume Nintendo is trying to cut costs after losing a lot of money in recent years. But all in all, we await to what they might bring.
Your obsession with D/P remakes is lame
when R/S remakes weren’t announced thats all we heard on here…. now its gen 4 turn
http://nintendoenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Wii-U-Prints-Money.gif
Lol, it seems like it now.
You think? If Lockstin is actuall right, I doubt they’ll go the remake way and will probably create a brand new PKMN game that can take advantage of a household console (and handheld as well). probably more world/online oriented. Would be a great opportunity to add and remove functionality to evolve it.
I wouldn’t say it confirms D/P remakes. Anything could come to after S/M. Also, he said either home console or handheld. A hybrid is still an option, yet it could be any of the two. Misinterpreting text isn’t great.

Omg Litten’s cry is too adorable! Really hard pick for my first playthrough, Litten or Rowlet lol.
Litten is my favorite base stage of the 3. But Rowlet final evo reigns supreme if u ask me
Littens final evo is my favorite
… Tony The Tiger …
Never forgive, never forget.
Lol. I actually like it… I just don’t understand how it goes from completely calm to aggressive.
As long as it’s not fighting.. I’m fine tho
It’ll be fighting.
It bette be
Translated descriptions make it sound like it’s Dark type. Which makes sense for a heel wrestler.
What’s a Litten i’ve never heard of it? :p
Me I’m going with my bud Popplio
Is anyone else still confused what Raichu will do with its tail when not riding it? It looks big n heavy.. like it needs it’s psychic powers just to hold it still.
Hope it jumps off tail in Pokemon Refresh.
I don’t think it can even go on all 4’s anymore, arms seem shortened
It channels psychic energy into its tail which allows it to float

We don’t know for sure.

Looks like eevee’s Z-move the only one worth using :]
*sigh*
Remember when Pokemon used to be good?
Now there’s monkeys playing rugby; who gives a damn about rugby?
Rugby is one of the few sports I actually enjoy thank you.
There are a number of guys here who like rugby. Probably just for the men. My point is still valid.
I DIE for rugby!!1! (not really, but I like being contrary)
rugby players are hot though, right up their with baseball players and dancers
Erm… You sure? (Image)

HAHAHAHAHAHA, poor lady.. having her images shattered twice today (chest-hair)
???
I’m sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but I stand by what I said
just look at Ben Cohen
Eww, looks like my cousin. And he’ll have cauliflower ears when he’s older anyway.It’s one of the reasons I don’t play rugby any more.
(゜-゜)
Rugby is way better than football
It’s better than American football too.
Sooo… could that thing that Rockruff has in common with the starter Pokémon really be version exclusive evolved forms?
If that happens, I’m boxing my starter for the rest of the game.
…why?
If it can’t be both forms (assuming there are two forms) it might as well just stay breeding fodder.
Besides, the revealed final starters are pretty awful anyway, I’d rather use some of the pokemon I like.
You could just trade it to get what you want.
Assuming the leaked final evolutions are legit, I don’t like any of them.
Besides, even if I like the alternate forms, I’d have to wait until one of my friends was ready to evolve it for me.
so I heard somewhere that in S/M they will have competitions that you set yourself? so maybe that means we will get more online options for battles, like you could turn on a filter that excludes legendaries or something so you won’t have to battle those cookie cutter teams.
Wasn’t that announced with Battle Royal?
no clue, id have to do some digging, I feel like it was a while back and no one ever talked about it
That was announced alongside Battle Royal. You can create your own competitions
That escalated quickly (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4e450dd66b7851056da723ed5c8385e674f7bdbcc90281718cfc46198a017fe.jpg
And this is precisely why I’m now going to name one Harambe.
Name it Harambe and I’ll ban you.

When he’s dead can I have his insignia?
Maybe…
I’ll take what I can get
Team up with me. Let’s rule.
And together we’ll rule the Galaxy as moderate acquaintances!!!
MODERATE ACQUITANCES, GO.
*Tosses you a saber*
*Pulls out a mallet*
Let’s rock
… and roll
Naturally
My Greater Elemental Form can curl into a spiny Boulder
My muscles just get more huge tbh.
So you’re UB02?
I’m definitely Expansion, if you get what I mean.
Absorbsion
Both work, just Expansion was more what I was going for…
That’s more than creepy.
I’m going to run towards UB02B instead, she’s more attractive. (even if she is a type of plankton…)
Wow. Rude.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Csvc_-QWEAAEDfr.jpg
HARDCORE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-mPnmfrm6I
Wait a sec…..I should be Absorbtion
I’m the strong man
Oh you joker.
Energy engorge?
You endure opponents ongoing attacks and the exerted energy empowers your own
But something like this has deadly drawbacks, extreme fatigue or even total destruction of your muscular system
That sounds good to me. You can switch in when I reach fatigue.
I’ll cast some kinda Earthen healing totem that heals you while i go Rockserker
If you mean my icon, no you can’t, it’s copyrighted and in use by all my other accounts.
It’s a plain skull…..
Forgot it I have a better skull
With fangs and horns
It’s a plain skull but I made it by hand in paint.

They you go, it’s not a sprite but you don’t need my logo anyway.
This is a Skarms
Tireless warriors who never stop
Also accompanying them are Skorcerers: Dark weavers of fire and frost magic based on the robe
And lastly Necrologists: scrawny but brainy alchemists who further the Plague
I have a whole story
Fus ro dah, yes?

I’ll probably be gone once Sun and Moon is out anyway. I’ll be too busy playing S&M to visit PJ.
We do not need to know about your bedroom activities, thank you.

How is this a thing that exists.
It’s a Macho Brace
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GettingCrapPastTheRadar
Every time you put a pokemon in a macho brace, that’s what you’re doing to them.

Only the strong prevail
I wont nickname anyone in the first playthrough. Keeping things authentic, ya know
I’ll definitely name Lycanroc as “Lugarugan” :T
Not Loup garou gan?
Wow he’s kind of an a$$
Dude, that is so fake…
Of course it is, it’s RealShigeruM.
He’s a legendary Shigeru fake who posts loads of Nintendo memes.
That sound nothing like Shigeru Miyamoto! *anger vein mark on head*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQy9iIxD4CI
I realize this isn’t Pokemon related, but this has to be seen to be believed.
Ash’s team so far
Pikachu
Rowlet
Pikipek
Passimian
Naw Crabrawler
No, never happening. He already has Kingler and Corphish
And Crabrawler is perfect
They’re true fighters who never give up
Sounds right up Ash’s alley
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT MY ANIME BALL THROWING MONKEY
Well we don’t get what we want
I wanted that blockhead to get a Bergmite but nooooooo
Jangmo-o? He had Kalos’s pseuo-legendary. Might as well take Alola’s as well
I believe he will catch Litten not Rowlet.
Dude the Rowlet on the poster practically sits on his shoulder. He is getting it
I feel that Rowlet belong to Mallow.
I can see him having Rowlet. If it does evolve into that archer that fits Ash’s type of pokemon.
I believe both
Passimian sprite! I thought I would give it a shot! I love it! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/addac4cf43f6d443329eb0bd9d3e0cc4a2912f165dfd7fd1f3e1509ca05a6667.png
I dont even like rugby, but Passimian might very wel become my #1 favourite pokemon of all time
same here!
I know! Me too!
