Note from moving: This Elite Four Showdown will last slightly shorter than the previous episodes. We’re excited to start our new Showdown format, so we’re speeding things up! Get your votes in now!
What’s with all of this box art talk? Did the box art get leaked?
Nevermind I scrolled far down enough. How did people get the games?
They’re just show boxes at the Milan games week event I believe
Oh, that makes more sense. Thanks!
*thanks!
No problem lol
Moving to Japan.
You guys want me to do a weird blog or something?
It’s funny, cause your name is moving and you are moving to Japan xD. But yes do it.
Sure, that’d be interesting!
Like actually moving or just visiting for an extended time? lol And yes a blog would be cool, but only if you feel up to it. Don’t feel like you HAVE to do anything. Just enjoy yourself. Also I’m mad jelly hahaha
Moving as in for work. For at least a year. 🙂
I’ll consider it! Not really sure what I’ll do that’s of interest, given I’ll be working haha. 🙁
Cool. What do you do if you don’t mind me asking? lol
You should go to the Pokemon Center and buy us all gifts
That’s so cool! You should do a vlog with PJ in Tokyo
That’s could be crazy but wat about visiting GF company.
I still want that cat whose offspring can be of different types
Same here. Was that ever disproved? I can’t remember what leak that was a part of.
I have no idea
What E4 was the most difficult to choose one member from?
Unova
and Hoenn cause i did not like any of them
Unova. Caitlyn, grimsley, and shauntel are all about equal in my mind. I also like Siebold and Malva about the same so there’s that too.
Malva. Since she’s the only one with a personality
Can we all just appreciate all the little details Sun and Moon has like certain trainers (Team Skull Grunts, Olivia and Plumeria so far) using non-standard Poké Balls? It’s overall inconsequential but it adds a little bit of life into the franchise because now it doesn’t looks the sole buyer of other Poké Balls is your character.
I really hope a trainer catches Lunala/Solgaleo and we have to fight them (like a Kahuna or the ‘Island Challenge Champion’/whatever they’re called) just so we can see it come out a Master Ball and get a taste of our own medicine.
Kinda like how you battle N’s Zekrom with Reshiram or vise versa
From the box art I can see Popplio Hp being 42 at level 14, while Rowlet Hp being 50 at lv 16 (but I’m not sure about this one). Both pretty high, right?
ehh, sorta. Both seem pretty reasonable for grass and water starters. Maybe both have reasonably high hp stats?
Tepig at lv 14 (31iv) has 46 and at lv 16 (31iv) has 51
Mudkip at lv 14 (31iv) has 42 and ta lv 16 (31iv) has 46
assuming ev’s aren’t in play that would place popplio having around 55 base hp and rowlet having maybe around 64 base hp?
Hp are not affected by natures so id Popplio has the same amount of Mudkip then I would say 50-55 while Rowlet having 60-64
20 minute Did You Know Gaming episode about Satiru Iwata
Stop hurting me
I posted this question in a previous article but it was ignored:
How likely do you think it will be that dateminers will find all the game’s information? Do you suppose GF learned from their mistakes and didn’t put the whole game’s coding in the demo?
Try asking Pharap he’s very knowledgeable about coding and the ilk.
Short answers: quite likely honestly (if the second question is no) and the second question is up to you. I personally don’t think they did.
people claim that GF learns from their mistakes but every single generation they always have someone who leaks important information from the games. So no, i do not think that GF learns from mistake, heck they probably didnt even try to do something about it
The learn from like 1 mistake and then continue to do things we don’t like lol
Well how about this: Will paying the money for extra man hours dedicated towards removing final game data from the demo result in additional sales that cover or exceed the costs of the extra man hours?
Extrapolate your own answer from there.
POKENCHI should revealed something new about the anime tonight.
like in 2,5 hours right? Its here 22:47, so I will watch it tomorrow if it’s anything new and cool
Right ….u didn’t live in America?
no, the netherlands.. If I lived in America my grammar was way better 😉
I didn’t realize that maybe cuz mine is bad too.
You are very reasonable with your assumptions. lol Most people would be jumping on the “new Pokemon Sun and Moon video game” news, but honestly I think if we see anything actually new it’ll be about the anime like you said hahaha
Probably already spammed here, but if thats not the case. Our famous riddler updated his list
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b1aa06596da5aa03e1dcae03dd132d4ebb4336e9b4f75ec72c3dd969d3f02a94.jpg
The riddler is washed up and irrelevant at this point.
Yeah wasn’t he proven wrong already?
well if we learned something from him is that he sure knows some details, he has proven himself the last couple months
For a few things, yes. I’m just going to disregard him now. If he was putting false info in there he should’ve told us BEFORE we found out. Now he just looks like a sketchy fool.
missed that part…?
Well the list he gave us the other day regarding how many of each type/how many evos some pokemon have was partially incorrect. Not cool, imo.
oh that thing… Ah thats not cool no, hes getting arrogant I guess
Actually that in of itself was proves slightly off, as someone pointed out that the numbers they posted and the numbers the translator posted were different. So who knows.
I’m still wary of this guy…partially because I feel like his riddles don’t really amount to much. We make the connections after we find stuff out officially so it’s not like he’s telling us anything substantial.
Perhaps, but I”d argue that by giving us hints, it allows us to speculate and question what the pokemon could be. Its the difference of saying nothing and showing us a silhouette of a pokemon. The silhouette at least gives us a vague idea of what the pokemon could be, which is better then nothing and points us in the right direction, even if their unclear.
But I get it. Not everyone’s going to like the leaker’s style. Personally I do since it does spring discussion as to what kinds of new pokemon we could see, but its cool.
Alright, I can respect that.
I always like somebody teasing new pokemon! I find it amusing and gets me through the ‘dry’ news times
This fire one is new ….if Alolan pkmn just from kanto that’s mean we don’t have much pkemon left.
yes and some other thing was removed, two asian girls in one pic or something
He removed so of kanto pkmn though like Nidos.
maybe the two girls were the grass girls xD
That’s a good point….
Bounsweet line is not related to Asia …this riddler is just messing up.
one girl had some pink hair though.. Yeah idk men, wouldnt make sense, because it wouldve been placed next to bounsweet
We might also be thinking too deep into it. Remember the asian woman’s last name meant something like friendship, something mentioned in the first evo’s description, and anime girl named yin could have some connection to a queen. I don’t know enough to comment on her series.
if we can believe this this probably means that “marshadow” is event only (placement wise) and the third of the trio (box legends + ??) is some guy.. Aristoteles? Zeus? idk..
Aristotle. Pretty much the founder of the concept of the five stages of matter, being solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Aether.
Honestly, screw the riddler. He’s an arrogant leaker who holds his knowledge over the internet on a string and probably loves every second of it. However, this list did remind me how excited I am to see what the other island guardians look like! Especially the one depicted in the Mysterious Souvenir. The fact that GF teased that Pokémon all the way back in X/Y must mean there’s something special about it!
probably the leader of the pack
Plot twist: The riddler is actually paid by GF to do this, hence why the riddles suck
http://media3.giphy.com/media/AT6LbRAazEoPm/giphy.gif
The Riddler probably isn’t as malicious as we think. He’s just making it so we aren’t totally spoiled and we can speculate
Part of me wants to believe that. But then he posts BS hints like the mace that VAGUELY resembles the tail of Kommo-o’s tail, or four possible pictures that resemble what Salandit’s evolution looks like.
While it does look vaguely like it, I would see it as a bigger hint of the scales making a sound, and having an attack based around it. if you’ve ever tried to walk with one of those staffs, the metal rings bounce around and make a klanging sound, much like Komoo-o’s scales do, so its kind of cleaver in a sense.
No he seems like kind of a jerk and apparently would prefer if people outside of China wouldn’t follow his leaks. It’s an odd situation he has. That said I don’t think he’s arrogant because he leaks in riddles or anything. It’s not about how he “dangles the info” more so how he represents himself when talking to others outside of his regular leaking.
So he’s like most of the people of Asia; generally holding a distaste for westerners? I wouldn’t say that he’s so much a jerk as they come from a crappy culture. But that’s semantics I suppose.
This douche is done
These are getting sorta lame. I mean, wow, fire, what could that mean!? :O
However, hopefully his battle frontier hints are real.
Ima be pissed if it aint
I just want a solid post game, we haven’t had one for 4 years.
B2W2’s post game was huge omg
It was great :3
I’m starting a Black 2 play through in a couple days and it’s going to last me until November 18th 😛
I’m going to finish SS, and then start Red.
I know, it was great! Hopefully SM don’t dissapoint.
ORAS had a good post game, imo. It has a lot to do
I actually disagree a lot. What is there that makes it good?
All the legendary mirage spots, battle resort if you’re into that, completing contests, getting the platinum flag for you base, delta episode. I mean it’s not massive, but it’s great for casual play, unlike X&Y. Could’ve definitely used the BF though…
I might also be biased though because I took the post game as an opportunity to make a living dex so I had a lot to do when I was mirage island hopping and using the dexnav to find pokemon I hadn’t caught.
It’s got a little bit more than XY. The mirage spots were cool, but other than that I wasn’t a huge fan of the other features. I don’t get what people see in the Delta episode honestly, it was a two hour fetch quest IMO.
The only good part was when you get to the top of the tower and then get to ride rayquaza into space. That was pretty sweet.
I don’t know if that’s fire though. It almost looks like plasma. Like from a sun. that could explain the black background.
That’s the most generic hint you could probably give. It’s like me putting a picture of water up and going “Hehe new pokemon related to this, guys!”
The pikachu covered in a sheet, Zubat and Litleo hints were actually cool, but this makes me doubt if he actually knows anything else.
Leaker: Shit, I’ve got nothing left…well there’s gotta be another fire pokemon in the dex so I’ll put up a picture of fire! I’m so clever.
So honest guesses to the new info:
Tucan pokemon. We all kind of assumed it, so that easy.
Firey thing. To me it looks like some plasma from the sun. So maybe some sort of sun/plasma pokemon. Probably a fire or steel type? Its a hard guess.
marshadow appears to be based off of some consolation, tough I couldn’t find any that it exactly looks like. Its shape looks like the Z-bracelet’s symbol, so perhaps that’s a hint?
The red x. I’m not certain what it could mean really. The character looks kind of like 关闭, which means closed. I not certain what that could mean. Perhaps saying those are the only UB’s, or perhaps something that closes things off? Like a ub that can disable things? I don’t know, their’s too much you can guess.
Marshadow is also in the shape of a pentagon, which was Kalos’ symbol, right? I’m not sure that means anything though.
hmm….Hard to say. The closest real live consolation I could find was that it looked a little like Orion’s body, but again that’s a stretch. Perhaps hint is just to say that Marshadows the consolation pokemon or something like that. Or maybe it has stars built into its design, like how we have pokemon based around the sun and moon.
I’m still banking on it being a scorpion…!
That would be cool, but who knows.
The fire thing may be one of the tapu
I don’t think so. Tapu koko is right next to it and the tiki head seems to be on the far side of it, which was hinted to be another Tapu. Perhaps its another pokemon?
Actually the red cross is the japanese animation of move Imprison (Seal)
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Imprison_(move)
Yup, given up on the joker. There’s cryptic and then there’s desparately trying to stay relevant.
I want the tucan pokemon to be real
Well that has way more validity than the leaks, since there was that shirt.
yeah, i just tucans so much i have high expectations
Toucans are my favorite animal, so I’d definitely use it if we got one.
Don’t get your hopes up. Red Pandas are my favorite animal and then bewear came along and was like “I’m kind of based on a red panda…but I’m also terribly designed”
I hate Bewear so much, I feel for you. Hopefully they make a cool toucan design.
I tried really hard to like it, but I can’t. I like the concept but the design is not good at all
If it’s head had separation from the rest of it’s body like an actual Toy Bear, and it’s muzzle was like an actual bear with the mouth opening in the right place, and the pink was a burnt orange, I would like it much more.
Same!! The mouth bothers me so much
Serena Tsareena. http://orig04.deviantart.net/ee9f/f/2016/288/c/a/serena_tsareena_by_tzblacktd-dal45m7.png
what is the yellow hair for?
Oh wait I read it wrong. I thought it was shiny didn’t realize it was Serena :3
Serena 😛 since its species sounds like her name
Serena hair like Ash Greninja have Ash hair.
Shiny colors?
U should read wat I write.
I did, but I was saying that it would look good as shiny colors. xD
I actually like this more than the official. Helps differentiate it more from Lilligant.
Same, I wish it had more pink than green.
this one has way more personality then the other one
The hair is a good addition
and that improved her person how?
Idk I just think it improves the design
Cuz personality belong to human.
not Serena she was boring, she was bland, you could’ve easily re-casted her with a mop and it would’ve provided so much more, for god sake she barely caught anything and only joined up with the knucklehead because she wanted his butt
worst. female. character. ever
Misty is still the best.
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/992/901/67d.png
Amethyst becomes good during season 3, imo.
No I love her but it’s what I thought of when he said Serena could be replaced by a mop
Oh, lol. Is this from something though? Do people think amethyst is boring? 😛
No there was an episode where Jamie was doing a play and used a mop to play amethyst since it was just Jamie and Steven
I remember the episode but can’t recall that part haha
It was kinda forgettable honestly :3
But no seriously I love Amethyst
Garnet and Peridot are my favs :3
Lapis is my favorite. Rose or Pearl are probably my second favorites
I need to see more of Rose to decide if I like her or not. I did like the episode where she and greg babysat Sourcream though haha
I don’t mean Serena by the way ….personality word came from persona which mean mask (just a cover) …..in this example is hair style, make up, clothes.
hmmm another photoshop user…. this could make a great shiny color even tho its not meant to be one. I still like my Grape Soda colors lol
Grape Soda colors?
these
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dde0af32b33a9d12bad0aea6658147fe9c489a09defa0c90c7d27303ed0049c3.jpg
I LOVE THESE
Haha thanks you’re too kind 🙂
I love purple <:
you’re profile pic has purple hair I can tell lol
Lol yeah. I wish I could dye it irl
Maybe it would fit ya well lol. it fits your profile pic well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DPZYKY_up0
I like Kommo-o line.
It’s not always photoshop, some of us use GIMP.
Damn! This looks so much better than the original and would make for an awesome shiny! I was thinking of a shiny based on leaves turning red, orange, purple, etc… for the shiny for Tsareena.
I went with Grape Soda since my Lurantis is Orange Soda
I still think Serena was inspiration for it it’s name even sounds like her
I kinda hope Tsareena has a mouth
95% she is cuz u should feed her in refresh.
starmie?
I didn’t know ….I didn’t play XY yet.
Really?
yeah I am a poor man.
idk i wish so too. Steenee has such a adorable smile
When Steenee is slowly moving up the list as my favorite pokemon
Lurantis is sneaking back up on my team im so unsure which to use
Struggles of a trainer
I think I shouldn’t be rush Morelull looks promising if it’s not ……Lurantis looks great but she bugs me while she looking like a bug but she’s not …Steenee ability is much better though so I go with her.
What is Lurantis’s ability again?
Leaf Guard
Dam did u choose a pokemon to be in ur team with out knowing the ability ….this is very emotional and emotion always bad it’s Leaf Guard.
I choose mainly based on design for my main game team if it’s a new game
Two of my mons are literally the same ability just different names
I think I like Lurantis’ design better but I’d go with Tsereena if you’re on the fence. I prefer pokemon with 3 stages over 2. I bet it will have better stats/movepool too.
Maybe I’ll try the other one in the 3rd version or Sinnoh Remakes
gladion theme reminds me of another theme but i just cant put my finger on ( i thought hugh but they are not the same)
Run Away/Fugitives from PMD 1?
nah, is a main pokemon game
Maybe Colress’s theme?
honestly i think is hugh now because many comments on youtube says the same
it is hughs
Yah definitely Hugh. It has that interesting fast paced bass line like in Gladion’s
Maybe its all in your head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzlG28B-R8Y
Flex time to impress, come and climb in my bed, dont be shy do your thing, is all in my head ahhh
I think I’ll run an RPG/Fantasy team for Pokemon Moon:
– Rowlet3: the ranger, archer, etc…
– Lurantis: the princely knight/king
– Tsareena: the princess/Queen
– Kommo-o: the fighter/martial artist
– ???: priest/healer/magician
– ???: warrior
THE WARRIOR IS WIMPOD 😀
Maybe Wimpod will be a warrior when it evolves
I’m kinda waiting for an epic Steel-type to be the warrior and an equally epic Fairy-type, Ice, Psychic, or Dark-type to be the magician.
Warriopod
WARIO POD WAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD SAY IT
Since Wario is my other half
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftI0taCbibk
If wario ur other half that mean u r Mario.
…..damn caught me on a technicality
but screw those because why should i listen to you *Punches you*
U can’t cuz I am a boxer http://img11.deviantart.net/b637/i/2016/233/4/d/crabrawler_vs_hitmonchan_by_betapunkdrawings-daet2ij.jpg
To many grass dude …..do u want to make salad or something?
Meh, I don’t really care for type overlaps, but it would have been cool if Tsareena was Grass/Fighting.
Comfey is literally a Cleric and Kommo-o is a Warrior
as for a Fighter wynaut Crabrawler
Can’t wait for the day someone does False Swipe on a shiny wimpod and forgets about the ability 😉
That’s…depressing. It’ll be a pain to catch. I’ll be carrying quick and timer balls with me 😮
Omg what if it learned a recoil move though
Oh that would suck. Wait I wonder if u mean look it will the ability not work
I would guess that it’d still work but that’s just a gut feeling. I’m curious as to if you brought a ralts w/ trace to a wimpod battle. Would you flee from battle if ralts HP fell below half? >.<
Wimpod+Passimian Worlds 2017
I actually retract my statement of Komala being the most forgettable pokemon. I’m gonna have to go with Togedemaru. I completely forgot about that bland pikaclone. I couldn’t even remember its name for a second and had to check its typing.
Member Komala OH I MEMBER, Member Togedermaru , Yeess I member Togedermaru
Comfey is the most forgettable for me
I can’t forget comfey cause people keep speculating if it’ll evolve. It’s also very Hawaiian so it has that going for it at least.
Honestly Comfey is more forgettable
Komala was never forgettable, it’s still one of my favourites, and don’t forget that crazy new ability.
They should show its evo so it’s relevant again
Eh, I can wait.
We know quite a lot already and there’s not that long to go now.
Pikaclones are fun tho!
I’ve never liked pikaclones tbh 😛 Dedenne is cute though but I’d never use it.
I wasn’t a fan… but Dedenne and the 3D models for Pachirisu and Emolga made me a fan. They’re all too cute.
yo anybody catch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP5DOxsBnD8
Yah just watched it. It’s pretty good
no My dad never taught me how to catch
Curious at to why Type: Null has a weird name but then Silvally has a real pokemon name. I guess Gladion might name it
Tsareena
Queenly Majesty
-Trop Kick
-Blaze Kick
-Swords Dance
-Drain Punch
grrrr that Ability totally shuts down mamoswine’s ice shard
How can it learn Blaze kick in your opinion? If is leg goes on fire all her body will burn.
People say her legs look like chili peppers lol
But her descrition does not mention it, so it will not happen.
For me she wouldn’t even exist, I just said what I’ve read here
The same way Gourgeist learns Flamethrower.
Gourgeist is a ghost and is ispired to Halloween pumpkins, but it actually spits fire does not get on fire, which is different.
Ok, the same way Genesect learns Blaze Kick despite being 4x weak to fire, or the same way Lucario can learn it despite being 2x weak to fire.
Gourgeist can also learn Flame Charge, but like you said, it’s a ghost. I’m assuming it doesn’t feel the flame because it’s already “dead.”
If that’s the logic then it shouldn’t be able to faint or take damage because “it’s already dead”.
The same way Sanji from One Piece does it, in fact Tsareena is the perfect Pokémon for him.
Sanji’s Waifu
Well her legs are crazy and her signature(?) move is a kicking move so I don’t think it is too crazy
Did someone say crazy legs?:
http://pics.filmaffinity.com/the_pink_panther_crazylegs_crane_tv_series-616166400-large.jpg
Actually it is, sorry. Cause if its leg goes on fire it will burn. If they had invented something like it being immune to fire for some strange reason then It could have been a possibility, but right no it would have no sense.
Genesect’s legs would burn but it can still learn Blaze Kick. Same with Lucario.
Genesect Blaze kick is a special move that GF gave it. Special move indicates that is not something it could learn normally
A) That doesn’t explain Lucario.
B) That doesn’t refute that it can still do it.
A) Lucario’s legs may not be made of steel, cause just the pointed things on its arms seems to.
B) Yeah, Pikachu can surf does this mean that any electric type could surf too, riight? But actually only stunfisk can cause it’s a fish-thing and Lanturn because of its water type.
There’s nothing that points to fire on Tsareena and in its description, that’s the real point.
Zebstrika can use Flame Charge, doesn’t get burned by itself. Many Pokémon learn the elemental punches and fangs and don’t hurt themselves.
Zebstrika is not made of grass or fruits.
No, but it’s covered in fur and flesh, both of which burn. Fur actually burns faster than grass might I add since fur is thin and dry and grass usually contains water and is much thicker and more tightly packed.
Ludicolo can learn Fire Punch, unless it surrounds it’s hand in water at the same time it would burn it, yet it doesn’t.
If its legs don’t even have metal to protect them then its fur would still burn.
If Stunfisk can surf and Golurk can fly, I see no reason a plant can’t unleash firey kicks.
It doesn’t matter if there’s logic or not, Gamefreak will bend the rules to suit themselves.
There’s loads of pokemon that learn solar beam that shouldn’t be able to because of their types (Moltres, Solrock, Florges, Beedrill) but GF doesn’t care.
And remember, both Lucario (x2 weak to fire) and Genesect (4x weak to fire) learn Blaze Kick.
Obviously GF threw the manual into a supernova because they disagreed with it.
Do any of your Pokémon carry anything else super effective against Grass that is relatively fast, or could at least take a super effective hit?
Excadrill’s Aerial ace and Nidoking’s Ice Beam
Seismitoad has sludge bomb but like that would do any good
Nidoking can probably take most of what it dishes out thanks to it’s poison typing. Focus Sash Mamoswine can at least icicle Spear/Crash it before it gets taken down. The issue would be if it too is Sash’d.
oi……it is not easy being a ground type these days
Just be glad Articuno isn’t as strong as it was in gen 1
hmmmm give me a sec
??
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-452326133
Can’t watch right now. What happens?
out of all the Pokemon Articuno was the only one that gave me issues
Yeah you’re gonna have to adapt quite a bit, maybe you’ll get something else new soon that’ll help.
Mudsdale looks like a great physical attacker
Maybe it will be fast enough to counter these Grass types with a coverage move.
I can see it learning Flame Charge
Yeah, maybe Blaze Kick too.
it won’t be, it will be bullied by special attackers everywhere
Perhaps a new item will help it out? Or maybe a hidden ability, like Sap Sipper.
i can’t count of that incredibly slim chance
Well hopefully you get something else on your team to switch out to at least.
Maybe his fave ground type pkm will adapt to Alola by becoming a certain type
I don’t think we’ll go there.
I didn’t mention any type
Changing it at all is probably not going to go down well, since his favourite is likely his favourite as it is.
I know. Hopefully ground type pokemon will get good moves/abilities this gen
I’d like more special attacks and some faster ones.
All I want is a good dark type
One that’s not Alolan form would be great. I love Dark types, top 5 for me. If we don’t I may use Alolan Muk.
aerial ace…. on an excadrill…?
its for Heracross and Breloom…..
Type:Null is ready to evolve
*slams Head againist wall breaking helmet off*
NEW POKEMON DISCOVERED
Silvally weighs less than Type:Null
That helmet must be heavy
Literally from Type Null’s description: “It’s extremely heavy, so it also serves to hinder Type: Null’s agility” :p
It all makes perfect sense, it’s just a bit weird to get an evolution that feels more like a form change.
Wat a powerful ability. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1476569493765.gif
I think levitate would be a fitting ability
We should have something higher than levitate.
Weedrill.
Theory: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3be3dddf426f94a04d978b2e3715f0c5af4df61f62260bebbbba8757b561bb99.jpg
nah to torkoal, i wish to dunsparce
Yea the colors and design don’t match up with Torkoal, but I think there’s a lot that match Dunsparce and Drampa up.
Earthen gonna rage at this post
Why?
He’s gonna say there are no connections between the two. He’s all about concepts behind pokemon.
Earthen rages at anything he doesn’t like.
No chance.
What’s exactly the theory? We already saw those two being standalone pokemon, so no evolution/Mega evolution can happen. If I missed something then…
Well 1, it’s mostly a joke. I’m not EXPECTING them to evolve into Turtonator and Drampa, but 2, it has not been truest confirmed by data mining nor GF if they’re stand alones or not.
We haven’t had any datamining yet, still 3 days to go before that happens.
How long do you think it will take?
Depends what precautions they’ve taken.
If they haven’t taken any and the engine is the same as last time, as long as it takes for someone to finish downloading the game and sift through the memory. (So 30 mins – 2 hours maybe)
If they’ve made it so it’s somehow encrypted on the chip but not in memory, as long as it takes to download, realise it’s encrypted, dig out a RAM sniffer and get working. (Assuming they already have the RAM sniffer, probably 3-8 hours. Otherwise maybe a few days, depends if they need to get one shipped in, I’d assume someone already has one though)
And lastly, if they’ve done the sensible thing and trimmed out as much data as possible, the same as A or B, but we’ll only get a small subset of information leaked, not the whole mechanics/pokedex.
….Whut?
Computer stuff.
RAM sniffing, game engines, encryption, that sort of stuff.

I’m aware
Still though, they haven’t released any cross-gen evolvers this generation.
I hope Game Freak brings back gems.
People used those?
I liked Flying Gem + Acrobatics
That only works if you consume it with a move other than Acrobatics, otherwise you’re better off not holding an item in the first place.
I don’t think so. Since the gem is consumed before the move is used it still gets the boost
Those are some weird mechanics, that sounds like a bug to me.
It made Archeops pretty good as a glass canon at least
Don’t remind me about Archeops.
One of the coolest fossil types we’ll ever get and they ruined it by giving it that awful ability ; n ;
I hope there’s new Ribbons to collect my Umbreon MUST have them all.
Only problem with ribbons is those championship ribbons us peons can’t get.
You can’t get all of them anyway as there are special Event distribution ones. Best you can do is aim to get all the in-game obtainable ones.
Which greatly annoys me.
