In advance of Italy’s annual game show Milan Games Week, Nintendo of Italy issued a press release with an interesting tidbit: the show wouldn’t feature the demo version of the upcoming 3DS release Pokémon Sun & Moon.
le demo di Pokémon Sole e Pokémon Luna […] non saranno pronte per Milan Games Week.
While this is perhaps disappointing for Italian gamers headed to Games Week, it does confirm in a roundabout way that there is a demo for the pair of games and may just make its way to gamers at a later date.
Nintendo & Pokémon offered no such advanced notice of the absence of a demo in the case of PAX West, which took place in Seattle, Washington at the beginning of September.
With the Korean Ratings Board already having passed judgement on a “trial” version, it does seem like we’re going to see one… but when?

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Request-a-Trade
The most repeated question on twitter “Will we be seeing new Mega Evolutions with SM, or will we only be seeing the Megas introduced in gen 6?”…..I think GF can answer this …at least.
I think they will give us only a handfull and no as much as last games gave us. Maye the Johto starters. and one or two more thats it.

someone recreated gladion’s theme from the trailer so it wouldn’t have sound effects interrupting it. it sounds great!
oh my god I put a video here successfully!
Ok Game Freak, you aren’t even trying to be subtle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JGV-BV5oWo
huh, maybe this tells us something about Gladion?
That he is going to end up being one of the best Pokemon characters? With a tragic backstory and morally vague choices and ideals? Yep
I truly feel we are in for something special in Sun/Moon.
Gladion is flawless. Unreal design
oh wait

I noticed that day one but no one else heard it. I’m glad I’m not the only one. xD
I heard it, but kinda forgot about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m really enjoying the music coming from SuMo. It all sounds pretty great lol
WHY HASN’T SOMEONE RECREATED ROUTE 1?!?! It’s amazing music, yet no one has done it, and we have like 10 team skull recreations. It’s been over 3 months and still no one has done it. . .
Guys, guys!!
Nintendo NY tweets: “Due to a private event, the second floor of the #NintendoNY building will be closed off until 1am”
private event? if its private, that means we wont know what it is!
Somebody give me a pickaxe!
I TUNNEL MY WAY IN!!!
NX!!!??!? I mean, right!????
No, NY 😛
The private events usually are of no great importance to the general masses. It’s usually training for new employees,a small event for only those in the area, or someone rented out the space for a party. I doubt it means anything. If we DO get anything before the 4th it’ll come from Masuda and Ohmori who are in London for press interviews about Sun and Moon.
I haven’t seen menacingcascoon in a long time. is he off evolving somewhere?
i think he was either punished or trying to avoid SM info til the day
The fellas on Discord said he will return
well, gotta disconnect so my ps4 downloads faster. see ya!

Ok that is better than what I thought you meant
I’m not joking, a ‘friend’ of mine does He even took pride in showing me how he hides it in folders in folders so that his parents don’t see. We’re both 21.
D*mn that’s a ton of data.
I’m gonna need a bigger hard drive 😛
Hatched a 31/31/31/22/31/00 Shiny Karrablast, Adamant with No Guard yesterday, really good seeing as I wasn’t actually trying for it. Also ran into a Shiny Prankster Sableye in Friend Safari not long after. Nearly as good as the day I hatched twin Shiny Amaura 😀 Of course now I’ll have terrible luck with everything for a while. I hope there’s some good looking Shinies in Su/Mo.
I wish that they would let pokemon evolve in battle. It would be so helpful when grinding
It would also be helpful so you don’t accidentally miss some of their moves by going over their level of evolution.
That’s one of the things the re-learner is for, otherwise you’d have to keep pressing B after each level after it’s evolution level if you didn’t want it to evolve yet, for obtaining pre-evolution only moves, faster raising etc.

Really creative names from the guys a Game Freak
To quote what I told Green.
“They should have been more creative. E.g. Spookium or Spirium for Ghost,
Chitinium or Carapacium for Bug, Shadium or Umbrium for Dark etc”
Damn, they really have lost their imaginations.
11 out of 12 of those names are lame.
Electrum being the good one, yes?
Yes.
It’s Electrium not Electrum, but it’s the only one that sounds decent.
They should have been more creative. E.g. Spookium or Spirium for Ghost, Chitinium or Carapacium for Bug, Shadium or Umbrium for Dark etc
Yeah it was a typo. I edited it right after.
I thought you might have misread because ‘Electrum’ sounds like ‘Plectrum’ and would also be cool.
Plus (as I said in my long winded comment to Shady) ‘-um’ was the traditional Latin suffix for chemical elements, which would have been what Alchemists use. (I still think a lot of the Alchemy stuff is coincidence, look to any fantasy game and you’ll find traces of Alchemy here and there.)
“Ium” in the last , did they hint chemical element? right ? Alchemy confirmed then.
Actually ‘-ium’ is the modern suffix, ‘-um’ was the traditional Latin suffix, e.g. Aurum = Gold, Ferrum = Iron, Cuprum = Copper.
Besides which, there are so many chemical elements named with the ‘-ium’ suffix it’s practically a trope (in fact there’s a trope named “unobtanium”).
Sodium, Potassium, Uranium, Titanium, Ammonium, Coppernicium. Note that most of these come in metal or crystal form, or can be used to form ‘salts’.
So it’s clear that the naming is inspired by chemical elements, but that doesn’t confirm an Alchemy theme.
Also, notice that some of the foreign names use the ‘-ite’ suffix, which is a suffix typically used to indicate minerals/ores. I think they’ve just gone for generic stone/metal/crystal suffixes to make things easy.
Solgaleo’s steel typing and Azoth in ORAS confirms an alchemy typing, whether we like it or not
I didn’t say anything about those, I said that the names of the Z Stones don’t confirm an alchemy theme. I’m not arguing whether there is an alchemy theme or not, I’m arguing that the naming scheme of the Z stones don’t confirm an alchemy theme.
Would you prefer any more gigapikathing?
Catastropika. But it should be Pikatastrophe
True, they could have named them ‘pancakium’ or something stupid.
I wanted something clever though, like Cloudium for flying types, Chlorium for grass types, Ignium for fire types etc.
What would your type be if you were a pokemon?
Fairy/Normal (guess im basic (ง’-‘)ง)
Water/Normal
Water- My favorite type and I practically live in my bathtub and pool
Normal- I’m too average to be anything else
Ghost/Normal. The ghost aspect comes from my introvertedness and my general aversion to being social, while the normal comes from my caring and empathetic nature and the joy I get from helping others.
sounds more like Ghost/nrrrghhh Fairy or Psychic
I guess that works, but I was thinking along the lines of Chansey or Audino. I certainly wouldn’t complain about being Fairy or Psychic though.
Ground/Fighting duhhhh
Explanation: I’m freaking magical, hun
Let’s see. . . Electric/Ghost/Poison. I know that’s three types but I don’t care
Electric – I’m super impatient, and thus rush (the logic here being speed = electric)
Ghost – same as Wes, introverted
Poison – as much as I hate doing this I have a bit of a toxic attitude which tends to effect people
Steel/Dark or Steel/Psychic
Steel: I can be fairly distant and robotic sometimes. I’m independent and also ace, so I feel this would be my primary typing.
Dark: I have a depressive side and tend to dwell on feelings that I don’t understand. This is more of an inner thing that’s hard to descibe. I wouldn’t say I’m evil at all, but I can be selfish sometimes.
Psychic: I’m a wallflower and very observant. I prefer to watch things from a distance. I also value knowledge and learning
Well that sounded depressing
The most hated combo Fire/Fight or Fire/Dragon
Water/Normal/Psychic
Water because I love the ocean and swimming.
Normal because I’m funny and have a laid back personality.
Psychic because my brain can never stop thinking of stuff… It gets annoying at times
Probably a Fighting/Electric
Fighting cos I am a semi good person and I am heavy!
Electric cos I am a very quick and excitable person!
I wish headbutt hunting wasn’t so tedious in HGSS. It’s taking forever, all I’ve seen so far is Spearow.
Where’s Tapu Koko when you need him? xD
It took me a few days to find my stuff.
That’s discouraging. What were you looking for?
Ledyba and Pineco. I only played in the night tho so it was harder to find Ledyba.
Never mind, I’ve found the Aipom. As soon as I said it was tedious lol.
Probably cuz I wasn’t looking in the right places….
Also does it help to change the tree, or does that have no effect?
I always change trees. I doubt it makes it better, but I do things like that. I also hold down the trackpad and b button to “help” catch Pokemon.
Speaking of useless things we do for luck, I used to ALWAYS do these things when trying to catch a Pokemon:
1. Hold down the bottom part of the B button, but not enough that it registers
2. Stick out my tongue slightly
3. Shake my head as if it was the ball
Yeah I was a weird kid, okay?
OH MY GOSH! I DID THE TONGUE THING AS WELL, BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULDN’T POST THAT!!!
Is the head thing just me then? xD
There’s probably other people who do that. Not me tho.
Also did you just come up with the down and B button method? Because my friend told me that worked when I was like 8, so is that one of those “new under the truck” playground rumor type things? O_0
BEEN DOING IT ALL MY LIFE!! I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LUCKY!
Hmm, this seems oddly coicidental. xD
I still do it. Even in GO, I hold down my volume button.
In GO, my lucky action was to hold my phone as far away from my brother’s phone as possible.
Remember when I said I was a weird kid? Well I’m still kinda wired I guess.
I keep getting weirder. Puberty does that to you XD
Haha good luck I guess! xD
My face is still kinda babyish, but I’ve got a mustache and a beard.
Wow your like a year and a half (maybe more) younger than me, and I’ve never gotten that. xD
I thought you were in college. I’m at least 5 years younger than you.
Nah, I’m not in college. Not yet at least. I’m a sophomore in high school.
Ooh, good luck with that! Sophomore year was the hardest for me.
So I’ve heard. That or Junior year. Thanks! ^.^
Yeah, I think it’s just those middle two years that are rough. But senior year (where I am now) is so much more relaxed.
I can imagine it would. Having all of the testing and planning mostly out of the way sounds good.
Right behind you there as a freshman 😛
Ah, I hated freshman year. Sophomore year is so much better IMO, but that’s purely because I know my way around the place and I know my classmates. As a freshman I started off knowing 1 person. Good luck either way!
Ok. I’m two years younger then
Still surprising. xD
I trim my beard every 3-4 weeks, but I want the mustache
I’ve got some catching up to do it seems . . .
Nah. I’m just going through puberty faster. I’ve been having growth spurts since I was 11. Then I was 5′ 5, Now I’m 6′ 1
Lucky. I was 4’11, and over the summer I grew to 5’6
Like.. THIS Summer?
Yup. It’s the largest growth spurt I’ve ever had. Well, maybe it’s more like from April to September, but still.
What, are in you eighth grade?
Yeah, that’s how it works . . .
Don’t get sassy with me
Fine, I won’t, whatever. ?
Yep
Jesus Christ, and you have a beard? I’m 21 and cannot grow anything resembling facial hair.
It’s hereditary
Yeah, but it’s not a complaint. I think beards are gross. There’s also a correlation between being able to grow a beard and baldness. I’ll keep my hair
I mean… I never keep my beard because I hate it, but wow thanks for getting my hopes up for the future D:
You’re welcome 😀
From Serebii: “In these games, every single tree is a prospective Headbutt Tree. However, if you headbutt a tree and it does not cause a wild Pokémon to attack, then this tree will never have any Pokémon on it. If the tree does have a Pokémon come out, this tree will always have a wild Pokémon encounter when you headbutt it.” http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/headbutt.shtml
Going off of my conversation with Green below, does anyone else do any “lucky” actions in Pokemon games? This is really interesting.
I used to spin the D-pad in a clockwise motion whenever my pokemon was confused. Someone told me if I did it when it was about to attack, it wouldn’t hurt itself.
Another thing I do is when there’s a patch of grass, I go in a spiral. I start on the outside and work my way in in a spiral.
I could never do that. I tend to take the shortest route through grass unless it’s my first time through the game.
Since Gen IV, I shake my head along with the Pokeball (I’ve gotten so many weird looks). And prior to Gen IV my method was even more complicated:
1. Spam right on the d-pad after the ball is thrown.
2. Hold B when the ball opens.
3. Hit A on every bounce when it falls.
4. Hold B + left/right, alternating as the ball shakes.
Yeah! I shake my head too! 😀
I swear it helps! Anyone who disagrees is wrong. :p
Ok, im bored so, name some of your favorite (and least favorite) characters from Nintendo games!
Pokemon: Cynthia/Iris (Anime)
Zelda: Midna/Tutorial Owl Guy
Mario: Rosaline/HI IM DAISY
Kid Icarus: Viridi/I dont know actually they are all pretty cool
Xenoblade: Firoa/Freaking Tatsu
Star Fox: Falco/Slippy
Earthbound: Ness/Pokey
Pikmin: Brittany/Louie
MegaMan (ok not technically nintendo but im running out of franchises) Zero/Beck :3
Sonic: All of the above
So is it Favorite/Least favorite?
yep
Ok. I’ll reply above.
Should clarify on sonic , all of the above is my least favorite characters.
I dont like sonic
I dislike sonic
I hate sonic
I freaking hate sonic
Pokemon: Misty, Volkner, Cynthia/ Chuck, Lysandre, Brock, Rosa
Zelda: Epona, Fi, Impa/Tingle
Animal Crossing: Peanut, Tia, Tipper, Gala/Kabuki
Kirby: Kirby, Meta Knight/can’t really hate anyone from this series
Mario: Bowser Jr and Koopalings, Yoshi/Wario & Waluigi
WAAHHHHHHHH
Ok for real, can you explain Epona? That is a really interesting choice
Well Ocarina of Time was one of the first Zelda games I played and, like with Hedwig, I feel a special connection with animal companions to the main character, especially when they’re given their own theme. Epona’s song is so beautiful and nostalgic for me now and Epona is so cute and you have to win her freedom and everything and then she helps you out all the time and is just a great friend and this is a really long sentence but I just love her.
Pokemon: Blue/Charon
Mario: Bowser Jr./Wario and Waluigi
Zelda: Fierce Diety (does that count?)/HEY LOOK LISTEN
Never played Kid Icarus
Xenoblade: How could you not love Tatsu?!/Mumkhar
Starfox: Falco/Peppy
Not a fan of earthbound
Pikmin: Alph/President guy
I’m going to add Fire Emblem: Leo/The victor twins (or any reincarnation)
Tatsu is just so annoying. Everything that falls out of his little mouth is food jokes. Rikki was way better.
Idk I thought it was funny. I just wish he was playable.
I just really dislike Xenoblade Chronicles X
I wish it was longer. The story was just getting good and then it was over. Something that would make it better IMO would be a mechanic similar to Majora’s mask, but with one set time limit. It makes no sense for the clock to only go down when you do something important. Other than those minor issues I thought it was a ton of fun. Original is still better though.
I never even got to the Skells. I just lost interest. I fell in love with the first Xenoblade
They were super complicated, so I just chose a cheap one, colored it to look cool, and went on with the story. They definitely broke the exploration aspect through. You had spent the whole game exploring the continents and now you can fly over them in a minute? :/
I really just wanted to explore the world but the plot kept getting in the way
The world building was great though, I’ve got to admit. I hope they make a sequel, the ending was ambiguous at best.
Favorites
Pokemon-Wally/Hilda
Mario- Baby Mario/Yoshi
Kirby- Kirby/Chilly
Digimon- Terriermon/Calumon
Yo-Kai watch- Topanyan
Miscellaneous- Q*bert

Yeah Hilda is life! (Rf)

:O You played starfy! I’ve never heard of anyone who played it but me. I loved that game!
I adored that game when I was younger! I just wish it had more replay value. I’ve tried to play it again, but I can never get too far before I get bored.
It’s sad they never localized the other games.
Oh this reminds me i am currently writing a fan game for Nintendo’s smelliest anti-heroes Wario and Waluigi
I call it Wario & Waluigi: Quest for Cash
These boneheaded bad guys once again are broke and without piles of cash, fed up with their low treasure supply they soon hear of a special report of a shipment of rare golden treasures plundered from a temple far away and are to be store at the museum, The two morons decide that they will pull a daring heist to swindle the treasure and live like kings
They arrive at the museum only to find that the treasure was stolen by a unknown thief, the mushroom Kingdom PD suspected three of the local bad guy gangs responsible for the crime and the dastardly duo hunt down each gang in hopes of stealing it back
Pokemon: Jasmine, Alola Exeggutor/Kris
Mystery Dungeon: Wigglytuff/Primal Dialga
Zelda: Deku Link/Princess Zelda
Mario: Bowser Jr., Captain Toad (In Mario Galaxy), Rosalina/
Pikmin: Breadbug, Hermit Crawmad/Swooping Snitchbug
Other:
Shovel Knight: Specter Knight (Designwise), Plague Knight, Mona/The Enchantress
Wowwwww….I’m your least favorite pokemon character? Cool. COOL.
Not YOU Kris. KRIS as in Ethan’s counterpart Kris
Mhm. Suuuuure. Try to play it off. I see how it is
This is all sarcasm by the way 😛
Yeah I know.
I’ve only played a few games, so I’ll do non-Nintendo as well.
Pokemon: Benga/Tierno
Zelda: Link/Navi
Mario: Toad/Luigi
Fantasy Life: Damien Helbourne/King Erik
Pokemon: Clay
Zelda: Darunia
Mario: Wario/Bowser
Kid Icarus: Cragalanche
Sonic: Knuckles (Pre-Boom)
Shovel Knight: Mole Knight
Kirby: King Dedede
Does no one here play Fire Emblem? No? Just me? Ok.
I might start. A lot of my friends do.
It’s super fun. But keep in mind that modern fire emblem is very different from classic fire emblem, so it depends on what you play. I reccomend both.
Zelda: Pippit/Falbi
Mario: Daisy, peach or Vivian/ Rosalina
Kirby: Waddle Dee/ None
Pikmin: Louie/Charlie
Pokemon: Lucas/Dawn
Animal Crossing: Sable or Kicks/Elise
Sonic: Cream (so many others)/Sonic?
Pretty much all the nintendo games I have played that I can think of
Question: if you play the DS Pokemon game on a 3DS, do you tend to use the circle pad or the d-pad? I always use the d pad for DS games, it seems wrong to play otherwise.
I use the d-pad on the DS games, but I prefer the circle pad overall because it’s easier with my long fingers. :p
I’m always afraid my circle pad will fall off, so I tend to save it for only 3ds gamesz
Games.
D-Pad
I have manly bear thumbs and i fear that if i push too hard they’ll break them
Alright I have another question: what Pokemon best represents your personality? I have to give this one some thought.
Ok I’m going to say Sneasel. Not very extroverted, but can sting. Or maybe slowpoke: it wants to be with everyone else but doesn’t try that hard.
Bidoof I’m way to simple but inside way to complex
Moody Bidoof.
Slowking: Calm, caring, used to be lazy.
Stufful. You touch me, you die (but not really because I’m actually super gentle and harmless)
Omg Team Galactic is getting an awesome 3DS theme with Honchy front and center! Team Rocket’s is pretty darn cool too, just not as cool. I really hope they release these outside of Japan. The pics are kinda small

Seno cunfurmd.
Sinnoh Master raceee
SENO CUNFURMD!!!
Beat ya to it! 😉
D:
I said it here first. 3 months ago.
Eh, not to discredit you, but I’ve heard people say that since ORAS was announced.
🙁
Fine. I said it first when it was RELEVANT.
ORAS announced!
Next day: Sinnoh remakes also!
We should start saying SENO CUNFURMD more
Despite my love for Sinnoh, I’ve got to say I love that Rocket one. <3
Oh my gosh I need that Team rocket theme in my life
Why does Bidoof autocorrect in my phone to BidoofBidoofBidoofBidoof? xD
Mine goes BidoofBidoof let’s all celebrate BidoofBidoof!!
Because you probably said that before. The same way my phone autocorrects Sinnoh to SENO because I say SENO CUNFURMD to my friends a lot
Don’t ruin the magic. Arceus clearly changed it for him
Yeah.
Quadrupedal Bidoof fusion!

THE DEMO OF POKÉMON SUN AND MOON POKÉMON […] WILL NOT BE READY FOR MILAN GAMES WEEK.
I hope it:
a) gets released in Canada
b) has unique features and a Pokemon to transfer
c) similar to ORAS, has some features which show off its uniqueness.
Wow
imagine that a dual type pokemon can choose between 2 Z-moves?
I hope ground Sandshrew and sand based pokemon get more sand based moves and maybe a good Z-move.
