32 days until Sun & Moon release!
Some of our older readers maybe remember our Journey to X & Y and Road to Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire countdowns back in 2013 and 2014. Now, we’re back with Road to Sun & Moon!
Recently, Nintendo invited several people to their San Francisco offices to preview and play the first entries in the 7th Generation of Pokémon – and although Nintendo put an embargo on a lot of what these lucky few got to see and experience, some details about the games have surfaced. For your ease and enjoyment we’ve compiled a list of the biggest new details from multiple people that got the opportunity to play through the first two hours of Pokémon Sun & Moon. The sources of all this info have been linked to the bottom if you’d like to see the articles and videos in full.
Pokémon
- Several players confirmed that they saw new Pokémon and Alolan Forms, but aren’t allowed to go into detail
- About “10-15” unique Pokémon (both new and old) were encountered in the two hours by trainer battles and in the wild
- Original Formes of Alolan Forme Pokémon were not encountered (i.e. Players only encountered Alolan Rattata, not Kanto Rattata)
Mechanics
- The D-Pad is no longer used for moving in the overworld – movement is no longer gridlocked and only the analog stick is used
- Default speed for movement in the overworld is now running, not walking
- The sneaking up on Pokémon mechanic from ORAS has been removed entirely
- Not as much noticeable framerate slow downs in general as there were in the previous generation (i.e. in battles with animations turned on)
- 3D has been removed completely from the game other than important cutscenes and the PokéFinder
- The 3D apparently does slow the frame rate down in cutscenes, but not as bad as it did in Gen VI
- However the stereoscopic 3D in the PokéFinder slows down the framerate to a very irritating and extremely noticeable degree`
General
- Sun & Moon is fairly fast paced and throws you into the adventure right away. Players note how you’re able to catch and battle Pokémon and Trainers well before a formal tutorial
- In the two hours of gameplay, very few people got to the first trial, much less completed it
- Reward money is plentiful in the Alola Region
- You are able to change your hairstyle in the first major city
- The local Alolan Pokédex is split into four sections – one for each island – similar to the Kalos Pokédex
- The player has a WiiU in their house – not an NX 🙁
- Confirmation that you do get medals for completing trials
- Several trials must be completed before challenging the Kahuna of the island
- When a Pokémon evolves you see its entire evolutionary family on screen
- Poké Pelago and Poké Ride were not available in the first two hours of the game
- Tackle has reportedly been lowered down to 40 basepower (as opposed to Gen VI’s 50 BP)
Story/Characters
- The early events of Sun & Moon take place over several days
- The protagonist moved to the Alola Region from Kanto and arrived via plane
- The protagonist’ father is mentioned, however you do not meet him in the first two hours
- Early in the game the protagonist falls off a bridge and is saved by Tapu Koko
- Prof. Kukui previously battled the Indigo Gym Leaders while researching Pokémon moves in Kanto
- Before choosing your starter Pokémon Lillie gives you a mysterious stone which is revealed to be a Z-Crystal later on
- However, they did not get to use Z-Moves or Mega Evolution in the first two hours
- After deafting Hau a second time, Hala gives you the Z-Ring
- There is a Tauros that blocks the road to prevent you from continuing on to a certain area at one point
- You meet the first Trial Captain, Ilima, at the Trainers’ School
- The EXP. Share is given to you at the Trainers’ School and still gives experience to your entire team
- The Gumshoos trail is the first in the game

Are any of these new details making you rage, or possibly even more exciting for the release of Sun & Moon? With the demo coming out in a mere two days we’re finally all going to be taking our first (albeit limited) steps in the Alola Region. And with that comes the possibility of leaks…stay tuned!

Awesome!
EARTHEN NEED NOW
I NEED IT TOO!!!!!!
I’m going to miss the sneaking. I did love sneaking about.
Well they don’t want to make the same mistake ORAS made, so they are definitely keeping it quiet, because they want to surprise us big
Why was sneaking a mistake? That’s like, the only thing I remember from the ORAS demo. Never got the hang of PokeRadar chaining, but I can DexNav chain for hours at a time.
Thank you so much for compiling all of this information! It must have taken awhile to scrounge up all the details! Thank you so much!
PS: Father is mentioned… https://66.media.tumblr.com/d590fa9b9519fbb1c5a796c8d1becedf/tumblr_ny2suzWVSw1qfjfoyo1_400.gif
My pleasure! Thanks so much for reading!
Well if there’s no sneaking, I’m guessing the Dex nav feature won’t be returning. Shame.
Yay! Easy to digest Sun and Moon information
Also
“The 3D apparently does slow the frame rate down in cutscenes, but not as bad as it did in Gen IV”
Gen VI you mean?
“Early in the game the protagonist falls off a bridge and is saved by Tapu Koko”
Oh boy Mortal Danger
Kids today need to understand the true dangers of bridges.
I mean, in ORAS, I had a great time riding my Mach Bike back and forth on the suspension bridges in Fortree Town because no one cared enough to stop me. Pokemon sets such unrealistic examples for safety for children! X’D
Im not too happy with the exp share. I just wish there was an option to use on only one pokemon instead of the whole team gaining exp.
It’s the fastest way to level up your team, i wonder if they going to bring back horde encounter?
I understand that but honestly it had a huge role in the difficulty, or lack there of, in XY and ORAS.
Are horde encounter returning?
But any RPG that allows grinding is inherently easy if you just grind long enough it doesn’t matter if the Exp Share is on or off.
If you think there’s a detail we missed be sure to let us know down here and link us to the source!
Are they talking about the demo?
no, because the demo will have Ash-Greninja and they got to pick starters, it was more of a preview
just asking, a 2 hour preview
HUGE NEWS!! Masuda has autographed fanart of the leaked starter evolutions on an event in Milan. He added “we haven’t even revealed these guys yet! (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f5b6c2e13da214e9ba1aeb7f8c00ca29b76c5563dd27517a2ae1b9c62d9d908.png

Again rf https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/de861b419877126c0b2cfc1cffd03e82e4db99762eee980c993947a0c1c58149.png
I think the final evolution starter might turn out to be real, i don’t mind if they do.
No shit sherlock 😉
Hey man, not cool, also the other people don’t assuming it’s real because they don’t like the design
“We haven’t even revealed these guys yet!” – Masuda, 2016
When everyone thinks you’re salty they got leaked, but the leaker has already been dealt with and there’s no more bad blood.
When you said Dealt with, for some reason I imagined them on the chopping block and records they ever existed erased
I wonder if someone will leak the grave site.
Sounds like Masuda took the situation pretty well. He apparently even laughed at the fact that the guy said his friend had some fan art for him lol
I don’t like seeing Mr.Masuda in this situation ….. he think he was clever in fact he was extremely rude ….u should be more grateful for this man human.
Masuda was clever or the fanart guy was clever?
I wouldn’t have dared take fanart of the leaked starters for Masuda to sign.
I’d say it’s neither clever nor rude. Definitely mildly humorous for the person giving it to him to sign. I doubt Masuda was upset. They’ve been leaked for months now. He knows people know. He’s probably just happy a fan liked them enough to do fanart.
The leaks of the starters’ final evolutions just a few weeks after the starters’ actual reveal is by far the most unprecedented leaks of all time.
Man……..I can’t wait until I’m two hours into Alola lol
I was pretty worried at first bu this just made me 10x more excited! NO MORE HOLDING DOWN THE DAMN B BUTTON
I’m honestly probably going to hold it down anyway out of habit
I still tap a and b when I’m trying to capture a pokemon
Now that it seems the leaked starter evos are fully confirmed, I’m glad I picked Rowlet. Sick of these Fire/Fighting starters. A real pity, because I really like Litten.
I thought it was going to be fire/dark?
Really? If thats the case I will pick Litten in Moon
They have not confirm what their type are yet except for rowlet final evo, but not Litten or Poplion.
I mean none of their final typings have been confirmed yet. But its assumed it will be grass/flying, fire/dark and water/fairy based on what they are
True, but hope for the Fire/Dark type for Litten’s final evo for I like more then a other fire/fighting AGAIN.
it is a fire/dark
SO EXCITED!!!!
I’m even more excited! Because it seems that game is more like a RPG where it actually takes a while to level up go to different areas. It offers a lot of excitement and makes me feel more accomplished when I finally get to my destination!
is this a reboot..
To quote many of the people who’ve played the first 2 hours of Pokemon Sun, “It’s anything, but a reboot. It feels like a celebration of all that Pokemon stands for and that in and of itself is much more commendable than a franchise reboot.”
Several players commented on how this definitely wasn’t a reboot, but a celebration of all things Pokémon with them building upon everything they’ve created over the past 20 years!
Remember, “it all comes together” 😉
So excited! Two more days! Also quick question? For people in different time zones will they get the demo earlier? Or is it releasing world wide on November 18th on the japan time zone?
Most likely by timezones tbh iirc its how it works with the full games when downloaded digitally.
Do you think there’s still any hope for traveling to Kalos in Sun/Moon, or is that highly unlikely at this point? I just want a good post game 🙁 I’d settle for Battle Frontier. Battle Maison is boring af.
One can always hope 🙂
I honestly think that one leaker was correct in that we will create our own league, probably from the trial captains, I can see it in the post game being able to call on 4 or 5 of them that have a way stronger team that you can go back and battle whenever you want
we might go back to kalos, since the file size of sun and moon is 32 GB and 26,176 blocks
Yes, it is encouraging just how huge the file size of the games are. Even if there isn’t Kalos, I’m sure there will be far more to do than in X/Y.
true, maybe we might go back to kalos, or we might not, but all i know is, this game better have a good post-game, i don’t want it like XY and ORAS post-game all over again
I liked the 8 island rumor.
The main four leading through the regular game, and then four more opening when the “Elite Four and Champion” are defeated.
where did you hear that rumor?
A youtuber made a video on it after it was posted here to PokeJungle. August 16th if you go to the Rumors category. Some of the things listed there have been confirmed or are teetering confirmation.
3.2 GB, not 32 GB lmao
That’s still really large.
Yup, but expected when you consider the graphical overhaul, bigger overworld and the switch to 3D models for everything.
my bad, i meant 3.2 GB, i was typing too fast
OH GOD I’M SO PUMPED!!!!! I can’t wait for the games to come out! Tomorrow we may be getting info from the data miners so we’ll be rolling in info from tomorrow on lol
but the demo isn’t out until tuesday?
But Japan is serveal time zones ahead of both Europe and USA.
True, but 9am on Monday for most of the world is 12am Tuesday for Japan. So assuming the demo goes live at midnight Japan should have it tomorrow for us lol
I hope, but i think gamefreak won’t make that same mistake they did in ORAS
HypehypehypeHYPE! Jeez I want these games so bad! So excited to see what other Alola forms they haven’t shown off!
This fan-made evolution of Rowlet looks so much better than Dartrix. I still can’t fathom how Dartrix goes from THAT to the epically amazing Robinroot.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CqKFYDBWcAA30Zc.jpg
Eh. Agree to disagree.
I do like this better than Dartrix, but I still think Dartrix is a decent design. You can’t say it doesn’t have tons of personality.
I love the design, but it just rubs off on me the wrong way.
That’s because it’s got sass 😛
Dartrix is the embodiment of sassyness and fabulous. Take the hatrted elsewhere XD
Dartrix is much better…..It’s not easy to find character like that.
Dartrix is the bomb.

OMG EVEN BRIONNE LOOKS AMAZING
Brionne has always looked amazing. 😛 I wish Popplio was that light blue color with tufts of white instead of that atrocious shade of blue.
I swear, these three embody every cliche clique:
1. Brionne: the singer, performer, and overly obsessed with pop culture individuals and the, “Popular girls”
2. Dartrix: the f*ck-boys or the rich, sassy people
3. Torracat: the athletic people and the, “bad guys or girls”
1. The basic white girls (and the Japanese equivalent of that)
2. The preppies
3. The juvenile delinquents (Japanese yankee)
Go back to Tumblr and take your teenager race talk with you. Please.
It was only a joke. I was on Tumblr but left it for a reason. I was mostly going on what I’ve seen on going to a preppie college, Kamikaze Girls + anime, and being related to a bunch of basic white girls.
Tumblr really isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be. Just stay on the right tags and blogs and stuff
As someone who can also get carried away with their active distaste for Tumblr… I think you made the wrong judgement call here bud.
Thanks. Those are just stereotypes, and I figured Japanese stereotypes would be different than American ones.
Litten-Torracat my boi is Soo Lit <3
The only Pokemon I genuinely dislike is probably Jynx
It’s origins does leave a bad taste in one’s mouth.
Oh my! Well, hellooooooooo! *rf*

*Hurls a brick at his stupid smug face*
I love this kind of stuff
I have the feeling the father is Ash…
Dude. That’d be kinda epic though.
Mabye only the child of Ash can use Ash-Greninja?
I hope so!
My friend thinks it’s Giovanni. If that’s true, I want a Silver cameo.
Can also. But wouldnt Ash be more logic with Ash-Greninja?
Thank you for sharing. Sounds teally good. Can’t eait to play.
I really hate the Mahogany gym lol
I read that as, “I really hate monogamy.” LOL xD

I wish they could confirm whether or not those unrevealed Alola Forms include any non-Kanto Pokes.
They should really do something with Solrock and Lunatone. I mean, come on?
I think it’d be AWESOME if they gave them Alola Forms with Minior’s ability.
What about the others?
Other what? I’m confused by your response.
Like the Pokemon of Alola?
Yea I’m excited for brand new Pokémon too. Just my whole thing is that up until Sun and Moon inevitably become my favorite games, 5th Gen is my favorite and I would love some 5th Gen Alola Forms. One of my favorite aspect of X and Y is how many 5th Gen Pokémon are available in every route of the game.
New info November 1?
Where I read this?

Yours. He was relieved that it was just a nightmare.

Sun/Moon, with 175 songs is the third largest for Pokemon games behind X/Y with over 200 and Pokemon HG/SS with around 270.
To be fair, I own the XY soundtrack and like over 50 of the songs are clothes change jingles or other jingles.
XY has a lot of weird little jingles and stuff, a lot of which are fork that useless PR video stuff e-e
I can’ deny this but Alolan Muk is my favorite of all Alolan form. http://pre08.deviantart.net/6165/th/pre/i/2016/289/1/5/alolan_muk_ribombee_pokemon_sun_pokemon_moon_alola_by_tatanrg-dal7bzd.jpg
Why is it dark though?
Agreed. It should be Poison/Ground or just have stayed pure Poison
Well if it stayed pure poison, that wouldn’t really make it an alolan form now would it?
Dark-Type in Japan is Evil type, which could mean that they could be Dark for a multitude of reasons. Although it’s probably from Alolan Muk’s rampages to feed itself along with being a greater ecological threat (which is seen as evil).
It’s probably from its voracious appetite that causes them to run amuck. But it feels so instinctive. I usually see Dark type as figthing in dishonorable, dirty, sneaky way.
Well as we all know by now, not all of game freaks decisions make sense
I believe it’s more based on how stronger its toxins become on Muk and Grimer’s body, making it more resilient (hence it now being immune to Psychic).
Alolan Muk has become Hedorah from Godzilla…..
It eat Humanz pollution it should be darker than dark.
Maybe it’s part of the environment that became sentient due to hatred of human pollution and it’s now obsessed with the demise of the human race. Like the sandcastle ghost haunts you for stomping on it.
Hello
Rage: Early and OP exp share
Hype: Kukui battled gym leaders, medals for trials
Turn the Exp Share off then? Unless you’re saying you miss the old Exp. Share, in which case I agree :<
Also its the first two hours of a Pokémon game, were you expecting it to be hard? XD
No, I just liked being able to use the EXP share in a playthrough without being OP.
Love my group Exp Share. It took over a year for me to finish LeafGreen because I was lazy about level-grinding.
I usually turn it off in normal runs but whenever I do rotating teams the Exp Share is the only thing stopping me from going mental :p
I turn it off sometimes if everyone’s getting too strong too fast, but other times, I’m like, “You guys need to toughen up fast and I’m sick of sending you out first and switching.”
And if you’re training a competitive team, it’s a godsend.
I strongly agree with this
“Several trials must be completed before challenging the Kahuna of the island”
So does this confirm Melemele has multiple trials before the Grand Trial? Because in that case, I feel it’ll be Bug, Normal (confirmed) and Flying because they’re the basic types. But at the same time, that gives Rowlet a STAB Z-Move earlier than Litten and Popplio, 😮
Curious to see if Z-Moves even get STAB if they’re truely as powerful as they’re advertising them to be.
They probably will, they’re still moves after all.
Wimpgod for Melemele! 😀
From what I understood Z-Moves can only be used by Pokemon of that type?
No, we’ve seen Pikachu use the Normal-Type Z-Move.
Actually, the pokemon just needs the move of that typing to use the z-move. So for example so long as a pokemon knows tackle, they could use the normal z-move
This gen has some adorable little muffins (✿ ♥‿♥)

I’m gonna need more bricks
Ill give you some… upside your head
lol
Don’t forget Lurantis!
Two questions:
1) Does anyone here play Overwatch? (Just l trying to drum up convo, today seems to of been a slow day)
2) Can you spoiler tag here? I’m generally curious becuase whenever I post longer posts I want to spoiler tag for convenience.
1. I do. I main Zenyatta, though I haven’t played in weeks due to FF14’s 3.4 patch.
2. No idea.
Yass support represent /(‘0’/)
I haven’t actually got the game but I play it with my friends and I’m trying to be a general support main and I’ve just got to say Zenyatta is a fun character to play.
I usually go support myself, but you quickly learn to play almost every character in the right situation. I go D.va for tank, Phara for assault, and usually Mei or Junkrat for defense when needed. I’ve been trying to learn Genji, but that was before his nerf.
Yeah, I’m not very good at much characters because of my limited play time but hopefully I git gud when Christmas comes.
I do have ‘mains’ for the other categories (Tracer, Widowmaker and Reinhardt) when my team needs more of them, but other characters I tend to be a bit of a deadweight ‘-‘;
BTW I though I should mention I play on PS4 because we don’t have the same nerfs and buffs :p
I play on PC, so yeah we don’t have all the same nerfs. Though I think Genji’s was universal, as it was fixing an animation glitch that people were exploiting.
Yeah, I’m sure it was a universal nerf.
I’m just glad because as someone who mostly plays Mercy that Genji got a nerf ^^;
In terms of spoiler tag, there is a way to do it on disqus.
https://blog.disqus.com/hide-that-game-of-thrones-spoiler-using-the-new-spoiler-tags
thanks
This should be the featured comment ^^ leaks are coming soon.
I’m actually buying Overwatch today lol.
Thanks for this, it’s great to have all that information down in one place!
When are we going to get the full PokeDex?
If it gets datamined, a few days after the eighteenth but it’s not guaranteed to reveal the full Dex.
If if doesn’t get datamined/there’s nothing to datamine, either when the game officialy releases or some people get the game before street dates.
One thing that was always a pet peeve with Muk is that it is constantly holding its arms aloft
I just never liked that
It’s armits probably stink. Maybe worse than the rest of it XD
Not Alolan Muk. It doesn’t stink.
You’re right: I hadn’t read the official site’s description when I made the comment. But I bet when Kanto Muk raises its arm, all Pidgeys in a 500 ft. radius faint and fall out of the trees.
Howling (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b56450438b0f6e894475c64b7511481a98bdfbd48920863db2ed898e33e44c09.png
It has also been confirmed by a Dutch preview that there’ll be 7 trials in pokemon sun and moon. Link:http://www.xgn.nl/pokemon-sun-moon-preview
I dunno, we have five confirmed trial Captains already and four appear to be on Akala Island, with three confirmed to be there: and Akala isn’t even the biggest island.
Some peeps think it’s a misunderstanding.
That’s true. I guess we’ll find out soon enough, I just hope that there’ll be at least 10 trial captains.
most people assume there will be 14 and 4 kahunas, one for each type
I know and I hope that’s the case, but I doubt there’ll be that many trials :/
Remember they’re going to broken up by Skull, Aether, Ultra Beasts and maybe Zygarde Collection.
I personally think it’ll be Fourteen, getting four Z-Crystals from them and then four from the Kahunas.
I think it might be distributed 2 (Melemele) – > 4 (Akala) – > 5/6 – > (‘Ulaula’) – > 3/2 (‘Poni’)
*Fourteen
With all that fighting, trials, and the Experience Share, I suspect the Alolan equivalent of the Elite 4 or Champion is going to be insanely high leveled.
We still don’t know though if we’ll be able to fight them all, but I hope so. Im just excited to see the fairy, ghost and dragon captains X_X
To be honest seeing as all the Guardians may be Fairy-Type I feel it’d be fitting if one of the Kahunas specialises in Dairy-Types.
I love Diary types too, Miltank is top notch! XD lol jk, but I truly hope that the one who uses fairy types is a guy because so far its only been used by females
TBF, we’ve only had one Fiary specialist (Valerie) so its kinda non biased atm :p
well yes and no, I didn’t mean just like gym leaders and such I mean trainer classes as well, like the Fairy Tale Girls, its an issue I have with ghost specialized classes as well, since we only have female Hex maniacs, I always wanted a male counterpart to them like they have for psychic 😛
Ehh, that’s been put into question. Those numbers match up with a post on Reddit from someone who also claimed that the first HM was Work up, and the demo was 400GB large. Given other sources have made it clear that they can’t confirm the total number of trial captains, and they clearly say that you challenge several trial captains, and having only seven, and we know that 3-4 are on one island, would mean that the majority of islands would have a single trial captain. Its very likely that a hand full of sites pulled that information from reddit and passed it off as real without checking into it.
At the very least it would make more sense that the person was told that their are at least 7 trial captains, and the person simply misunderstood.
Kukui fought the Indigo League? Yooo, that’s pretty awesome.
November is going to be such a good month! Sun and Moon come out! Fantastic Beasts is coming out! AND its my birthday! its gunna be a crazy month, too bad I’ll be working two jobs so I probably won’t get to enjoy it, but a guys gotta eat
– Sun and Moon come out
– Fantastic Beasts
– Beauty and the Beast getting a revival at my local theater
– MOANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never liked beauty and the beast I was indifferent to it, but I am beyond excited for the live action version with Emma Watson! And i also really want to see Moana
Beauty and the Beast was where I received my first theater role as Lumiere so its quite personal for me.
Every person I have ever known that was into theatre had Beauty and the Beast as their first play….. its a little odd, but I suppose like every school ever has put on a production of it at one point. Personally Les Mis will always be my fav
Mulan, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Mis, Wicked, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Cats, and Holes are my favorites!
the only performances my school ever put on where bloody stories about jesus christ being born, wasnt even a bloomin christian school
Can’t leave out the Walking Dead Season 3 video game! I’m gonna be broke before Thanksgiving….
Also Doctor Strange and Moana 🙂
With Sun/Moon AND Moana, it’s going to be a very tropical month xD
I hope the following are in:
– Wondertrade
– PSS of sorts
i think the Plaza feature is to be similar to the PSS, i mean it has alot of B2/W2 vibes because of the Join avenue feature they had to upgrade, rank up and had shops in a long tunnel, but in the plaza feature it shows that you can trade and battle players their so maybe that’s also the place where we can wonder trade also. just a theory ofcourse but it makes alot of sense right?
Same here lol, Sun and Moon, Fantastic Beasts (movie and book!!) and its my birthday!!!!
you forgot the demo being out on the 18th this month 🙂 it’s also my birthday this wednesday so im all hyped for it!!
Needed imo (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1ed71f198d5ee52b91bc4841d635f14b854ab09f573d45306fc93a83f71e95be.png
So I was reading the intro summery of what the new Pokemon anime is about and I found something pretty funny. Apparently Ash and his mom are staying at Kukui’s house lol Weird they didn’t just say that they were renting the house that is actually the protagonist’s house in the game or something. Could be pretty interesting to see Ash and his mom live with Kukui. Also I’d be willing to bet Kukui makes some moves on Ash’s mom hahaha
What if Kukui was Ash’s dad all along? o.o
Watch Delia and Kukui be like:
“By the way, you have a little brother coming! Have fun on your adventure!”
*10 years later*
Ash’s little brother goes on a Pokemon adventure and Kukui is nowhere to be seen
is will be nice to see Ash mom to be more involved in the series for the SM season
Rip; D-Pad 🙁
I am Inexperienced in this but is that demo available in all countries?
I think it will be on Oct. 18th
Is that at midnight?
I wanna say yes? They didn’t give a specific time for it. Just the date meaning that midnight would make sense. That means by tomorrow we should be seeing the first bits of the demo due to Japan getting it basically first
I’ll probably go offline when I see that others are getting it. I want to be able to play the demo spoiler-free at least because I doubt I’ll be able to do that for the full game.
Yeah same here. The game is one thing as it kind of is what it is, but if I can’t go in completely clean for that then the demo is the next best thing lol
In all countries?
Yeah it should go up in every eShop on the 18th. Otherwise they would have said something about only specific countries getting it.
We could cruiiiiseeeeee, to the blues, Wilshire boulevard if we choose. Oh whatever you wanna do, we make the rules. Our honeymoon, our honeymoon <3
Me to my future husband Kiawe

Nah. It needs to be a Banette. 😉
No, it needs to be a Tsareena
You get kukui
I don’t want sloppy seconds :v
Even if it’s hot sloppy seconds https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2a97ae8f6b5a641f17b22c8850b3b897020ef28df5bc35f84e1dca46a4ab8984.jpg
Kiawe would probably burn you with his fire anyway
Drops his mixtape
I’ll dark void you so fast you won’t even time to blink
Not if I mega evolve and use Taunt first.
Dark Pulse then
Dark Void is rendered useless by Taunt :p
I meant Dark Pulse lol
Prankster doesn’t apply until the turn after (turn order is already set before Mega Evolution)
Darn. I replaced Banette’s role with a Sableye that doesn’t mega evolve a while back, so I didn’t remember that.
Agree that better.
fight me
I am ready cuz I will not let ruin my favorite pkmn by this way.
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/11/19/25/111925df80b2a8848a37b0b048ceceb0.jpg
It’s my favorite one too https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d07882819dc8a4f2b912fbcf09c1b849e3a6947d26991592d8d0374b6aea18da.jpg
Hey u stop this that make me angry.
Angry guys are hot
Hot more than u imagine that could burn u alive. http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9431051/images/1272347732222.png
I’m ready
What
I hope the demo has at least one or two pokemon not yet shown for us to encounter completely blind, I have never be able to have that surprise of encountering something entirely new in game
The last time that happened for me was in Diamond. :p
I mean I learned about the pokemon in D/P like 4 years after they came out and not in game, I don’t think I have ever had such a privilege… but I mean I do it to myself by being curious XD
That’d be awesome. I hope we also get to use the starters in addition to Greninja. I’ve already seen Greninja on my 3ds I need to see a new Pokemon now!! Lol
one can hope
So it’s puts you into the adventure right away? That is very cool, I was always bored with waiting a while with all the introductions and tutorials, so a fast-paced game is pretty good. Nice job GF
And it sounds like when they do give the formal tutorial it’s not as slow as in the past. So either way we’ll be in good shape lol
So happy about that, thank you 20th anniversary
Right? Lol
I’ll have to control myself not to spend the whole day playing the demo because I have a very important math exam next week and I need to study xd
Boo for the exam part, but yay for math! I really like it so if you need help or something (assuming I’ve done the course) let me know!
I actually got really lucky because all of my exams were last week, so I don’t have anything for this week.
I despise math on a cellular level *cries*. I’m forced to take it because of my business major, but I really wish I could take something else. I did get a very good grade last year in math but only because I forced myself to memorize how to do every kind of exercise (I don’t understand any of the theories though)
what business major are you cause im a business major too and I only took finite math and stats
It’s called “Licence eco gestion”. It’s in a French university and they apparently love math. My sister is studying the same in the US and she doesn’t as much math as I do. I had stats last year+ have it again next semester
that sounds fancy. And yeah most business major only take like 2 or 3 math classes in the US
It’s far from fancy but it’s free so I can’t complain. I can’t wait for it to end though, I was not born to study
Well that’s no fun 🙁
That’s like me and all the Gen Ed classes I have to take lol, I’m a Math + Biochem major but when I have to take something like English I cry…
What kind of math were you in last year? I might be able to shed some light onto those theories (even if it doesn’t help in your current position or anything, I just like teaching is all)
i feel you in the english part. I took all my english classes in my first two years and now im finally free
Last year math wasn’t hard, we had linear algebra (Diagonalizable matrix, linear independence and all of that) + we learned how to draw a graph from equations (limits, derivation, etc). And this year we’re having this: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b9e3e2acf22341fda55245de093660db61082117493a0d05f5563ad734381f0e.png
And this This is a final exam from a couple of years ago, so there’s not much theory in it, but they try to teach us a bunch of theories that we don’t even need to know to pass the class https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eb7ec30832849fd27184abe6019d686b8d338c5a8d98f1599bc9aef2a1c484f4.png
I’m gonna have to control myself from tomorrow around noon until Tuesday around 130ish. In that time there’ll be info all over the place, but I wanna play the demo fresh. Have work Tuesday morning so I won’t be able to play until around 130……..tis a shame……lol
i would feel you if i had a 3DS cause my last week of online classes is next week
I have 6 exams this week, plus the PSATs. Halp. ;_;
Nothing will compare to the horror that was IB. Still has me shivering when I think about it lol
My finals consisted of one exam every day for two weeks, sometimes with more than one per day. Never again, thank god.
I have two per day.
I have
German Test
PSAT’s
Most likely something else
German Quiz Friday
I feel your pain
Doesn’t look all too hard compared to my calculus and algebra exam, the horrors. We had to do a eigenvalue decomposition with an eigenvalue of like 9+sqrt(105), calculate a singular value decomposition, a pseudo inverse of the matrix, a projection matrix for it and a least-squares approximation and that was only good for 25% of the grade. It turned out to be all useful though to understand the following courses so it wasn’t all too bad.
“My life is worse than urs”
As I said, it’s not that complicated, but considering I didn’t do much math at school + it’s a subject I hate, it just makes it worse. I’ll sure I’ll do well in the course, the problem is mostly the theory, I don’t get any of it, but you don’t really need it when you can just learn how to do the exercises. And my major is management, not math x)
Ya’ll fawning over Kiawe and I’m still here shipping Blue and Red. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/cf/60/cb/cf60cb16cd990b4e434be6252f1df8a7.jpg
So much sexual tension in that. Pretty hot lol
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/131ab6b92f9f6286f9608e3bb8a0327852ae248209f66f0013f08effbb923e70.png
Eh. Too explicit for me. lol
It’s not like he’s naked
Hey not dissing it man. I’m cis and predominantly straight. My interest in anything other than cis women is largely arbitrary and random.
I was not offended x) And isn’t cis the same as straight? I’m lost
I was under the assumption cis = not trans.
Oh, that must be it then

The black and white protagonists are both really cute with N
I ship Lucas and Barry.
I don’t actively ship characters really but I really like Hilda/Dawn or Hilda/Rosa
The fact that B2/W2 don’t have an epic “Red battle” with your trainer from BW via memory link sucks so much.
I could’ve sworn they did. I thought that was what memory link was used for?
Mostly flashbacks, old player name mentions and N’s Pokemon
Also why didn’t they do something like that in HGSS where you could put Fire Red or Lead Green in the game boy slot on the DS and fight your Hall of Fame team?
This makes me so glad I pre-ordered Moon today!
im playing random battles at showdown and I got a gliscor and I was triggered to all those gliscors I had to competitive battle in XY days
I hate to admit it……but I might play Sun first.(gonna play them both most likely lol) I like Lunala WAY more than Solgaleo, but I kind of want to play in my actual time rather than 12 hours off. I’ll likely play the game in the morning the first day and I think it’d be weird for my character to do all the beginning stuff (getting a starter, pokedex, set out on a journey, etc.) at like midnight lol I won’t mind as much in my second play through, but for the first time I think I’d rather have things match up more realistically. I stay up pretty late anyway so I won’t miss out on the night time gameplay anyway hahaha
Can’t you just set the internal 3DS time 12 hours ahead or back?
So e.g. it’s 10:00 AM in the real world, your 3DS is set 12 hours ahead making it 10 PM on your 3DS.
Plus the 12 hours Moon jump, it’ll be 10 AMagain
I’d prefer not to mess with the time of my 3ds. Other games and functions rely on thr time too so I’d like to keep things easy
Makes sense!
Haven’t thought about that
I don’t really play anything else, that relies on time
I swear I just killed a mosquito that’s bigger than my future
UB-2?
Hopefully because I hate it
I hate this kind of bug too maybe cuz I am dark type……but I hate the tiny thing more something called Sand Fly it’s very small very fast and very gluttony, I hate anything that impede my sleep.
I want winter to come so there are no more bugs
Do we know when will the next batch of news be released?
There’s a livestream on the 23rd, I believe.
Yeah but its exclusive to NicoNico
What does that mean? Well info not leak?
NicoNico is a Japanese exclusive streaming site. We’d have to wait for someone to tell us, we can’t watch it.
I don’t think they’ve officially said the next date.
If I had to guess I’d say somewhere between the 1st and 4th of November, based on current trends.
😉
so finding out psyduck might have its own z-move coming, Still waiting on jigglypuff 🙁
I wonder if Meowth well get one as well.
WITH THE GUITAR 😮
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4WC9Mh4HaA
Is the genesect movie any good?
NOOO
Agreed
Better than Diancie’s but worse than all others
I didn’t like it much. A female-voiced Mewtwo shows up (long-lost sister of original Mewtwo?) and the plot is pretty similar to the first movie, maybe mixed with E.T. Mewtwo fills the “Mew” role and the red Genesect is in the “Mewtwo” role. They’re some sort of time traveling fossil bugs that want to go home. Also, it’s a really short movie, not even 70 minutes.
Hearing that you cant use the dpad encouraged me to finally go get my 3DS joystick fixed
the rubber thingy protecting mine keeps falling off. Should I just glue it back?
Sounds like it’d just be a temporary fix lolol
Wait if nobody got to the first trial then how do they know that Gumshoos is first?
because its a normal type.
I guess that makes sense…
It’s obvious. Nornal Type is the meh type and thus obviously first.
raticate is half meh then
It’s bluh/meh type
Normal’s actually a great type when used right.
Meh as in its the standard type, nearly every Pokémon learns a normal attacking move, it’s SE on nothing, and it’s exceedingly common. It’s not bad. It’s meh.
It says “very few” people reached it, which means some people did manage to get to the first trial. However, “even less” completed the trial, which may mean that the trials take long. I’m so excited!
I may soon leave for a while to avoid as many new things as possible then come back being that guy blasting the comment section with Love and Hate comments on Pokémon, and Characters
You mean like after the release?
Yep I’m setting a date to leave I’ll come back on Halloween to say Happy Halloween then be gone till the release… or maybe two days before I’ll come back
Lol @ my overleveled HGSS team, not even 8 badges yet.
Lanturn (lv 51)
Typhlosion (lv51)
Togetic (lv 51)
Ariados (lv 50)
Pupitar (lv 50)
Umbreon (lv 50)
Here I am at the league with LV 38 as my best Pokemon. ._.
Tbf I used action replay because grinding is such a bitch in HGSS. But I deactivated it now
Alright for now must say my idea of my team and what I feel my brother will use (I have more than 6 cause I’m undecided)
Me:
Brionne
Gumshoos
Tsareena
Alolan Muk
Komala
Togedemaru
Mimikyu
Alolan Sandslash
Turtornator
Snorlax
Lycanroc (Midnight)
Brother’s:
Dartrix
Mudsdale
Oranguru
Lycanroc (Midday)
Kommo-o
Silvally
Brionne and Alola Muk are mons I reccomend you picking up, but you may want more speed….
Yeah I feel I may add an Eeveelution to my team too
Jolteon would work with your composition. Personally, I’m starting fresh XD
I kinda want to start fresh but if I need to I will bring one back
Hmmmm
Here’s mine
Dartrix
Salandit
Alolan Ninetails
Pyukumuku
Kommo-O
Palossand
You could rotate them, try them out and see who you like best that way.
I’ll try that thanks
OH god c’mon Tuesday! I can’t take it anymore!
RKS System = Multitype
Queenly Majesty = Dazzling
Turboblaze = Teravolt = Mold Breaker
Full Metal Body = Clear Body
Shadow Shield = Multiscale
R Really GF aware of that ? ..if u r answer is yes u should have an explanation.
Shadow Shield?
Lunala ability.
It’s just trying to be unique.
I can at least see the reasoning behind RKS System. If Sivally is revealed to actually be an attempt to create Arceus, then they could say that humans cannot recreate a god pokemon therefore they cannot recreate a god pokemon’s exact ability. If that makes sense.
Becuase Solgaleo’s body isn’t clear, Lunala doesn’t have scales, Tsareena doesn’t have dazzle camouflage, Bruxish isn’t royalty, RKS System is to keep Sillvaly being synthetic realistic (how did it get God’s exact ability) and Turboblaze and Turboblaze is for rule of cool.
It’s extraordinarily simple.
Like how Battle Armor and Shell Armor are the same thing: Cubone’s HA is “Battle Armor” because it doesn’t have a shell.
Queenly Majesty: protects from ALL priority moves
Dazzling: protects from JUST high priority moves
RKS System: makes sense considering the origin
Shadow Shield: we don’t know all of its effects
Full Metal Body: same as Shadow Shield
wait so dazzling only works for like sucker punch and extreme speed?
Is this info about the Sun and Moon demo?
It’s from the news media that got to play the first two hours of the real games
So when Rowlet evolves, dartrix’s evolution is also shown. I don’t quite get that part.
well i’m back from pumpkin picking
i wanted to go apple picking so i can eat fruit constantly but they were picked clean
so what did you buttholes do today
Apple>pumpkin
And I have been playing SWTOR basically all day. A bit of HGSS in between
Well I left a dude ranch I was vacationing at
Oh right I discovered that the medal I couldn’t get my dad drove out to Reading on Saturday the lady gave him two so now I have two super super rare yo-Kai medals
Which Yo-Kai is it?
Hovernyan. my avatar is the medal
The best Yokai, other then maybe Darkyan.
Yeah oh right for any Yo-kai enthusiasts I suggest the channel I made its for Yo-kai watch 2
I’m a casual fan a best. More interesting in its designs and its childish charm then the actual game. Like how the Darknyan quest in the game is literally Hovernyan reads an “American Comicbook”, aka a batman comic that his butler game him, and asks you to give him a utility belt and cape, becoming basically batman
I mostly cover Teams, Top 10’s, Any special events, ect. Cause I love many of its interesting yo-Kai like Pallysol and Boyclops
Nice, looks awesome 🙂
finishing up one of my comic projects,
taking breaks to stare into the void because I want more Sun & Moon info now,
finishing my playthrough of Y
wondering if I should play anything else actually
I’ve been craving playng through Shovel Knight again
I’m not okay with being killed by a woobat in the battle subway
How long was your streak?
i can top that…..
1v1 Garchomp vs Maractus…..
I got swept by a Regigias… That was a special attacker
Yeah you should feel bad
They barely got to the first trial and two hours?! That sounds like a good thing!
It’s comparable to your very first run of a Gym based Pokémon game, where the first Gym takes about two hours of you idle a lot and try to catch all Pokémon, try them out, level them up, etc, which doesn’t sound too impressive:then you realise: there’s only eight gyms, and there’s going to be a ton of trials and four Kahunas. It’s truly impressive.
Reminds of the 2-3 hours gap between viola and grant in x and y and then after grant the gyms were like 30min-1hour apart but hopefully that is not the case xD
So many people on here who are gonna use older Pokemon in S/M. I never do that on the first 2-3 playthroughs. I only do natives.
Same here. I’m not even using Alola forms until my second playthrough.
I’m using Alola Forms for my second playthrough. (Moon) But I do love all the new Pokémon so much. I hope they pull a 5th gen and release 2 games for the third version.
“the Gumshoos trail is in the first game” wtf does this sentence even mean?
trial
The Gumshoos Trial is the first in the game. We already know that from Corocoro though, that’s not new
oh I read it wrong I got It now thanks!
Or the Raticate trail if you have moon
If ash brought his muk (via PC or something) into the Alola region would it turn into an alolan muk (Instantly or over time)
absolutely not
Most likely not.
That is not how alolan forms work, pokemon in their alolan form are born that way, it is like darwinian evolution/natural selection
nope, but depending on how long does it stays in alola, it would adapt to become alolan muk
It most likely doesn’t work like that. Ash’s Muk would most likely remain unchanged but its offspring mutate.
I don’t think it works that fast
not really. If you read the description of some Alolan pokemon it says that they were brought from their native place. In other words they were Kanto before coming to Alola. Alola being a drastic change from Kanto, they learned to adapt to their environment. The offsprings will definitely be Alolan tho
Well, it wasnt the original ones that adapted, but actually it was their offsprings and the offsprings of those offsprings sort of how evolution works irl
oh really? well that changes everything
Haha yeah the only one that doesnt follow this logic is raichu which is a complete mystery
well raichu is literally a fanservice pokemon tbh. It is so random and is mainly done just because is pikachu evolution
It would take generations and tons of years for them to change
yeah that why I was vague on “how long does it stay” it could take ages but still could happen
no, it can’t sorry, it or its children, or its grandchildren will never be alolan, but they will start to mutate slowly the longer its line stays in Alola, maybe 10 generations deep it could be halfway there but it itself will never be alolan.
Unless this is what you were trying to say
yeah someone explained to me lol, but yeah I got your point
^_^
They’re trying to apply actual evolution to SM so it wouldnt just be the original pokemon that was brought over. If you move an Asian Elephant to Africa, it wouldnt become an African Elephant
To put it simple You can take the Elephant out of Asia (it’s habitat), but you can’t take the Asian out of the Elephant (you can’t force an animal to adapt genetically to a new environment and have it mutate greatly).
Exactly!

Sorry if it looks like we’re telling you the same thing over and over after you’ve shown understanding, it’s for members who may not already have the understanding and see it when scrolling :p
nah you good fam
Yass fam
But Arceus created everything! Evolution is a hoax!1!!1
Nope. The understanding is Alolan pokemon came to be over time through breeding of pokemon.
Normal Muk stay normal muk when brought over to Alolan and would breed Normal grimers
Oh boy only two days until tuesday, can’t wait to play the demo!
OMG Swinub is such a cutie!!! I might swap out one to use it <3
I like the swinub line, it is too underrated
Yep, definitely using it. Ditching one of Pupitar or Togetic
I used a Mamoswine in my SoulSilver playthrough, it’s pretty strong even without Thick Fat. I liked having them follow me.

That’s a pretty Deerlightful song 😀
WHATS NEW PUSSYCAT!?
God Deerling!
*And twisted spoons flew everywhere and it was FAN-tastic~*
It’s not unusual!
For someone to not get that reference and I’m just screaming “WHATS NEW PUSSY CAT”.
I think its neat that we have real evolution (alolan forms and possibly Oricrorio is a nod to this too) in the pokemon games that are based on Hawaii if you know what I mean, GF really does some neat things
Would be extra neat if they give me access to Kalos, or any other region for that matter.
And then there’s Raichu.
them pancakes that makes you a psychic type
what about it?
Well we’re talking about how GF is bringing in real evolution stuff and all of the others at least make a little sense. Except Raichu, whose alolan form is ridiculous.
I really hope that the demo is available before I head out to class. That way when I get home, I can immediately dive in 😀
If the demo get data mined and we discover every single thing from it about SM, I’ll be avoiding this website. I want to play Sun without any spoilers, so that I can have an enjoyable time discovering stuff like in ORAS
I’d probably freak out if I didn’t know what pokemon there were in the region.
Really? I always thought it was a bummer if we already knew everything to an unreleased game.
knowing all the pokemon isn’t the same as knowing everything. i do want to know all the pokemon so i can plan a team in advance. i do not want to know any story details.
Oh ok
I will be leaving when the demo is released, only whilst I play it. Then I’ll see if it has been datamined, I’ll likely stay away if it is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6g_wHjGss Sharing the gospel with you guys
lana with a young men around her? not realistic at all
She mostly dates young guys regardless of what she sings about x)
nnnn I always imagine her with old men especially after the ride video
Let me forget that song exists. I don’t like Paradise that much. UV and her old material is way better (pre born to die stuff)
i dont really havent heard her albums but I heard some of her songs. videogames, blue jeans, ride, west coast (my fav), summertime sadness(not the remix), national anthem, born to die are a few I can recall
Oh, she has so much more, she has more than 100 unreleased songs and some of them are better then a lot of released ones
Platypus. C’mon GF!

I’m seeing more than two screens here. 😉 Nice!
Wat is ur job exactly?
Astronaut bikini wrestler judge?
r u good at that ?
varies with each client
i wanted to branch out to this other gig but its a tad…risque
I think ur very Suitable at this job.
Are the gigs not all risqué?
this one is
…So what’s it like?
hmmm how to say it vain enough to get the point across but also keeping it a secret
Sounds like a tough job. Nothing but respect from me for those in this industry
Just a little recap:
Mele Mele Island:
– Trials:
1) Normal: Ilima and Gumshoos/Raticate as totem.
– Kahuna:
1) Hala: Fighting with Crabawler +2
– Tapu:
Tapu Koko Fairy/Electric.
Akala Island:
– Trials:
1) Grass: Mallow and Fomantis as Totem.
2) Water: Lana and Wishiwashi as Totem.
3) Fire: Kiawe and ??? as Totem (Tortunator or Marowak maybe)
4) Electric: Sophocles and ??? as Torem (Vikavolt or Togedemaru maybe)
– Kahuna:
1) Olivia: Rock with Nosepass, Licanrock + 1
– Tapu:
??? (Fairy/Psychic probably).
We have 7 types covered. We need 11 more. Two will be Kahunas, so 9 left. Maybe the first Island has two and the others all have four?
Wat if Kahunas have totem not just Tapu, so Hala one could be a freaking giant Bewear …and I feel Mele Mele Island could have another captain at least.
Two trials and a Kahuna on Mele Mele, four trials and a kahuna on the other 3.
The though of Togedemaru as a Totem Pokémon kills me XD
Fear the might of the all powerful Totem Togedemaru, as it sends in its fearsome Pichu grunts to fight
Personally I don’t care about every new Pokémon being spoiled before I play the game – it allows me to better plan who I want on my party. If anything, I will avoid plot-based spoilers as I want to be surprised in that regard. Mine away, hackers! 😀
same, it bothers me when I don’t have a team planned in advance.
Personally I’m the opposite. I tend to use pokemon as I see them and get a good idea how they play, then swap them in to create some good synergy.
that’s cool too. that’s the wonderful thing about pokemon: people have their own unique styles and tastes.
Agreed. This shit is serious and I need to know my strategies and team in advanced.. But plot details I would like to keep a surprise which really shouldn’t be that hard
Hey does anyone have any ideas as to what would come from breeding an alolan variant with its non-alolan variant?
Prolly be whatever the female is.
My guess is the alolan version will override the non-alolan version in this gen, but that’s purely speculation at this point. I could also see in later gens that it could be based on the mother.
I would say that it would depend on the mother. Since the mother always determines the type of pokemon. If the mother is Alolan then the offspring would be alolan and if the mother is original then the offspring would be original.
After much consideration, I think I have settled on Lurantis over Tsareena. I figure if she isn’t holding up with the rest of my team, Steenee would probably be available that that point saving me an evolution.
I just like Lurantis’s color scheme more. I like the lighter pink and green. Plus Solar Blade sounds like an awesome move. I’ll totally try to use a competitive Tsareena after the post game. Guess it’s an unpopular opinion and I still love both, but I gotta pick one :3
my only prayer i have (other then a Ground/Fighting type) is that that clown pants’d plant doesn’t Chlorophyll as its HA
I’m hoping for intimidate. Such a good ability
oh god that would be deadly @.@
I like both too, but I decided on Tsareena. lurantis was istantly on my team when I saw it so I do love it, I just like tsareena more.
Hopefully it has an awesome shiny. I think the color scheme is what really makes me choose Lurantis. Maybe I’ll breed a shiny one for Eclipse
I certainly like lurantis’s shade of pink better myself.
What Pokémon have you always wanted to use in game (not competitive) but just haven’t gotten a chance to use. For me..
-Meowstic
-Slaking
-Mismagious
-Scrafty
-Whimmsicott
-Lapras
-Maybe I’ll remember more and edit
Goodra. I regret that decision everytime I think about my x playthrough.
Oh my god yes.
i had a dragalge at the time, and didn’t want to train another pokemon…. ive always wanted to use a pseudo legend, but haven’t yet (on my first playthrough i mean.)
I’ve never used a Pseudo legend on my game till after I beat it yet the first I captured just never trained was a Goomy
None, really, I’ve used every pokemon that I care about haha
And I love Mismagius! You should really give it a try
When ever I think about using it on Platinum I always end up picking Froslass instead. Maybe I’ll trade one from black version over to black 2 and use it there
Froslass is another one of my favorites x)
Noooo! I just googled it and Mismagious is only on white version >.>
I may just cheat in a Mismagious, breed it, then send the egg to Black 2
i always have the same struggle with glaceon and frosslass.
Hmm, Mincinno is all that comes to mind.
Minncino is great! Especially if you use the hidden grotto skill link one in B2W2. Mine had
Rock Blast
Tail Slap
BulletSeed
Charm
As it’s move set and it was fantastic
give it a kings rock, and i will flinch the opponent more likely than not with this set.
I forgot to mention this. Do this
Maybe I should try that for competitive playing sometime
Don’t use mincinno unless it has skill link. Seriously.
hmmmmmmmm
Darmanitan
Conkeldurr
Braivary
Conkeldurr friggin’ ROCKS. i remember my Black team, it was op as all hell. best team i ever used in the story.
Serperior
Swanna
Conkeldurr
Excadrill
Chandelure
Reuniclus
jynx and honchkrow
I’ll do one per region:
-Sandslash
-Kingdra
-Absol
-Driftblim
-Braviary
-Chesnaught
Lapras.. Flygon… Many ore I can’t think of rn. Oh, Dragonite definitely.. Arcanine.. who else.. hmm Mega Blaziken
Edit
Flygon was kinda disappointing when I used him. He seriously needed a mega
They better not stop megas.. that would be dumb. He does
Flygon, Garchomp, Garbodor, Vanilluxe, Lanturn, and Aeigislash and probably more
I now have used them but most recently got one: Weavile, Porygon2, Politoed, Goodra, and Ambipom
– Swanna
– Honchcrow
– Leafeon
– Vespiquen
– Qwilfish
– Gothitelle
– Lickilicky
Im sure there are more, but I have done soooo many playthroughs through the years that I have used most pokemon I have wanted to use
Per region…
-Tauros
-Octillery
-Gorebyss
-Garchomp
-Elektross and Braviary (just because Gen V is so big)
-Clawitzer
Rhyperior, Lickilicky, and Magmortar.
Lapras
Beedrill
Nidoking
Steelix
Scizor
Salamence
Drapion
there’s alot more for sure, and the only reason I haven’t used these is simply cuz well…there are so many pokémon to use! I usually play with my favourites and then I might end up using other things.
I think that’s why I like Nuzlockes so much, just because it makes us use things we wouldn’t normally use.
I can see Greninja using its likely specialized Z-Move competitively IF Ash-Greninja’s stats Really are superior.
In an attempt to make it KO a Pokemon ASAP for it’s transformation. Even if they pull a switch-in and it survives, Water Shuriken should take it out, depending on how powerful Z-Moves are.
I just don’t see how they can justify Water Shuriken After a supposed Major Speed boost… What would be the point?
honestly i would be happy if this was the real thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TzOzYPs0_k
in x/y we had 5 standalone pokemon (non counting legends of course): Furfrou, Dedenne, Hawlucha, Carbink & Klefki.
in s/m we already have 5 pokemon that will be standalone for sure: Drampa, Tortunator, Wishiwashi, Togedemaru & Oricorio. I would say Mimikyu may be another, but I hope all the others get an evo/pre-evo
Wishiwashi, Togedemaru, Oricorio and Mimikyu are all safe assumptions here. Still not sure about Drampa and Tortunator, though. Same with Crabrawler – could have a pre-form.
The box arts showed the pokedex entries for the two dragons and there were no evolution space/pokeball for them.
Interesting, I didn’t catch that. Where did you see this?
When was this shown never saw it
Crabrawler is a early mon so i can’t see it having a pre-evo
Oh, do we know that from the demo?
no because Hala has a one whos level 15
Ohhh, yeah. Good point.
So maybe it’s like Lance having a lvl.47 some Dragonite
its a low level i dont think it would do that
True yet till it’s revealed it’s anyone’s call yet I think it has no pre-Evo too an evolution maybe no pre-Evo though
Didn’t Faulkner have a level 9 Pigeotto?
It’s a bit higher in HGSS but still under levelled.
you can catch a level 15 one tho.
In Kanto, after you’ve beat the Champion. And it’s still under levelled.
Johto Route 37 level 15
That’s still another two gym badges after Falkner uses it and even then his one is still two levels under that.
Why do you say Drampa, Turtonator, and Togedemaru are standalones?
The regional pikaclone is always a standalone: Plusle, Minun, Emolga, Pachirisu, Dedenne and so on. For the dragons read below.
Agreed!
They could always change things up. Patterns don’t mean much. I agree with you, but don’t go assuming and saying they’re definitely standalone.
If they did the past 6 pikaclone standalone, why cannot I assume Togedemaru will be like those? And the pokedex for Tortunator and Drampa shows them as standalone. I’m quite sure about this, but think what you want.
what if those are photoshop, last time i check Poppilo is behind the picture in one and then in front of the picture in the other
Like I said, I agree with your assumptions. But if this were something more important than a game, then you could never rely on assumptions because they’re not set in stone.
IMO so far Oriocorio, Wishiwashi, Togedemaru, Mimikyu, Passimian, and Oranguru are the only stand alones so far I just know Drampa and Turtornator will evolve or have pre-Evo besides only one Dragon has ever been a standalone… Druddigon
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cu1wD7uWEAIxhCm.jpg
There are no pokeball next to them in the pokedex. Confront it with a standalone pokemon and you will see that are the same…
We have seen no stand alone entries to my knowledge before possibly this
We have seen Pinsir.
I’m not saying your wrong here but I cannot remember ever seeing that but I have some issues with remembering from time to time
I’ve seen it too, but I can’t find it. It might’ve been in a Japanese video, but we’ve definitely seen it.
Oh no wonder I didn’t watch the Japanese trailer for them I never saw it till now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=205&v=n9o552CaJV8
3:24
Compare them.
Thank god Im getting moon as my first and main, Drampa is so much nicer looking than Turtonator to me
Looking at this may confirm Turtornator and Drampa are version exclusive as are Raticate and Gumshoos
Alolan Rattata is found in sun actually
so it can be found in both
Whaaaaaaaaat????!!!!!
no no not like that, it the 2 hours people played they found both yungoos and alolan ratatta
Oh I was about to say they are in the wrong time as they dwell
Version exclusive totems maybe, but I’m more inclined to believe they’re day/night exclusives.
yea
I’m not trying to ‘debunk’ the box art but hopefully it’s a mock up of the actual art becuase the issue with Popplio’s flipper is bugging me.
The flippers are different ones in front ones behind a box and ones squared off
Popplio’s flippers are version exclusive? 😮
Maybe…
Yeah, but XY only had 72 pokemon, and that’s including legendaries.
Don’t expect more than 10-15 pokemon compared to x/y.
At this point I do, and I stand by that. We’ll find out soon sadly.
I like how for this month, the demo is the most exciting thing for most people here.
But out of curiousity, is anyone else hyped for something leaving them shivering in antici
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ea530ccac89f4c9be89e1e8fc75fcee67bb07156458237d03125bc1ad0fb00cc.gif
Creature of the night aka Lycanroc Midnight still has my hype peaked. 😛
But, outside of Pokémon I’m looking forward to Skyrim Remastered.
Hopefully it doesn’t suffer from the frezzing issues that it had past a certain point on PS3 I never got to finish it because it got so bad on mine
Skyrim for PS4 and World of Final Fantasy!!!! So pumped on life for them, I also just bought my first dragon quest game the other day and I’m hooked, its dragon quest 7 on 3DS
(also is this your way of saying your excited for the new rocky horror picture show thing on tv?)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I forgot about World of Final Fantasy!
Just Halloween-my favorite holiday!
Nothing else but Christmas I can remember
Xenoverse 2 uhhh
Battlefield 1 (big history buff here)
My birthday Oct 19th
I can only hope that this band I’ve supported on PledgeMusic – Parks – finally releases their debut album. Due to losing a member halfway through recording the album, and because they all have day jobs, it’s taken them like two years to make it. They finished it in like July, but for some reason they haven’t announced a release date yet.. -_-
I’m stupid bored, it’s a monotonous cycle of going to work, watching a gaggle of destructive and increasingly annoying, forced to go to the gym and increasingly disappointment in the reveals
An astronaut bikini wrestler judge gets bored!?
Very if only that GTS Stripclub existed
got a bunch of special projects in progress that I’m super excited to finish.
game wise though, I am pretty much hyped for DragonBall Xenoverse 2
Isn’t this like the gayest Pokémon site? Where’s the Rocky Horror Peeps? 😮
*Raises hand*
I’m actual dying of excitement 😮
I’ve been watching Rocky Horror since I was 4. <3
I feel like a complete scrub, I only saw the movie sometime last year and only saw the live show early last month 😡
I’ve had a very unique childhood. Haha! Which I still find it odd that coming out was so difficult for my mom to handle. 😛
My mum was the complete opposite, she said she called it a mile away after an awkward fifteen minute conversation which ended with ‘I don’t like girls’
oh my gosh this site gets gayer everyday <3 lol straight people are like a minority on here for some reason compared to LGBT+ people o_o wonder why that is
I think we all flocked to Paul, honestly.
Paul is adorable to be completely honest.
I think it’s how casual is, it’s easy to sign up and just comment.
I was treated very distantly by many of my relatives for years after my coming out, but that’s to be expected from strict religious types. I laugh it off now.
Did they eventually warm up to the idea or did you just cut off ties, or even just avoid the subject? Hope you’re okay 😀
Well, I have a very caring personality so it’s hard to stay mad at me for a long period of time. They’ve warmed up to the idea as time has gone on. I’ve shrugged off most of their “unpleasant” comments. 😀
That’s great to hear 😀
I’ve actually never really faced direct (aimed at me) homophobia besides dumb second years in my school calling me a ‘f*ggot’ but they all do it to each other anyway so it didn’t bother me as much. But my dad and some family friends made some homophobic statements on holiday (before I came out) that just ruined the whole thing, so I can kinda sympathise there.
I have. I’ve had people come up to me with my ex and yell “The children”, “My religion”, “Disgusting.”, etc. on multiple occasions. I’m still a tad scarred by the experiences still, but overcome we must! 😀
I don’t want to come across as weird, but are you from somewhere like America or Western Europe? Because I know homophobia can get quite bad there.
Oddly though, despite stereotypes, the country I live is actually quite gay accepting.
I’m from the United States. We have a lot of issues to sort of here, but that’s literally people everywhere to be honest. Everyone has their issues.
Well, the US is probably simultaneously one of the most and least homophobic countries in the world, so at least you have people who care about you and support you 😀
And you’ve also got your gayng of peeps here on Pokejungle! :p
Which is awesome! I came on here because of Paul especially after Verlisify attacked him.
United States is a very strange nation. So many different cultures clashing. But, that’s what makes the United States beautiful.
Right! The conflict creates mar and ugliness that makes you appreciate the beauty that blossoms from it
Verlis attacked Paul? Shouldn’t be surprised though :/
He called out Paul for having a “gay voice”, which he should not judge anyone while wearing a collar. 😛 (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Ugh, that’s just pathetic.
Not as pathetic as him blaming smogon for his break up tho
LOL
Wait… what!? XD
He had a break up and apparently he pinned it all on his arguments with Smogon XD
He’s definitely not my cup of tea. >.>
Not mine either tbh. I do feel bad becuase there is a possibility of him having a condition but his behaviour is frankly appealing 😡
Condition? Hmm, I haven’t noticed.
BTW I meant appalling, autocorrect hates me :<
Yeah, some people think he may be on the autistic spectrum but I do feel like his absolute denial of anything being his fault (he did apologise once or twice) goes beyond that.
Canada is a great melting pot, we are a far more I guess you would call it liberal in the states but we are just a more accepting country I find, we are currently watching the US in horror though tbh
Scotland is the exact same, right down to watching the US in horror :p
Although there’s culture clashes between what people call ‘working immigrants’ (people who migrate and make honest lives) and ‘benefits immigrants’ (people who came to abuse the benefits system) due to the fact that the first category are much nicer people who respect Scottish culture whilst upholding their own, whereas the secondary category tend to be more violent, homophobic and trying to edge their culture into Scotland.
It’s a shame that everybody can’t just get along and try to improve themselves and eachother.
TBH I don’t see why everyone thinks USA is so intolerant, where I live everyone is super accepting.
The US isn’t like Russia, Uganda etc, bad. But for they have a long way to go still if they want to be as accepting as other countries, they are still about a decade behind Canada and we see it a lot sometimes when tourists come through my area some of the things they say are outrageous but they see it as totally normal
It’s all up to where you are though. I’m sure that there are super exclusive people in Canada, and I know for a fact that there are accepting people here.
It doesn’t seem very fair IMO for people to have this view, but eh, whatever.
Oh I know there are tons of accepting people in the US to me the scary thing is the contrast between those that are accepting and those that are not its far more evident than say those who would be unaccepting in Canada. In Canada almost everyone is at least tolerant there are far less people who spew hate loudly as I see it done in the US. But again, I know not everyone is like that, I think Fairy said it best, its the contrast thats scary
That’s fair enough. I’ve never been to Canada, but then again I’ve never been many places in the US.
It’s very capricious, one area you can get killed for being gay and another you’ll be lorded around by loved ones if you’re gay to show how progressive they are.
I’d love to visit Canada some day! 🙂
<3 I'm sorry you had to deal with that, that is very unfortunate :/
I have never been the victim of homophobia myself but my bf's have been (while they were with me too, it was weird considering I was out yet people only picked on them)
Well, I think my problem is I’m a very physical person so I love holding hands and being cutesy. Lol
I do that too, I have been out since I was 15 so I will never hide any part of myself from the world around me, if they don’t like it tough titties! lol But I think the reason I never had the homophobia was because I have really bad RBF so people usually know that they will get a storm if they mess with me
Well, I was the same way. However, I’m more on the Masc spectrum so I got away with a lot of the “signs”
Haha yeah! I love it! That’s such a great attitude to take that kind of shit. I still haven’t faced that since I’m only out to my close friends and family (not that they are helping anything) so I’m safe for now. Goona have to let myself be an open targer eventually if I’m going to be happy though
I’ve come out to a few friends, but I can’t come out to my parents. I overheard them a few years back saying that they’d disown a gay child, so until I’m in college, it’s the closet life for me! :p
That is just so messed up! How could you disown your own child for liking the same sex? I can’t understand. You do what you need to do to be happy and safe though.
I’ve come to terms with it. I always preach to everyone that you don’t necessarily have to agree with something to accept it. Over time I’ve gradually lessened my family’s homophobia by saying things like that, so I’m content that I’m working towards something good for the world.
My mum did the exact same, but I came out to her no problem. Maybe try and see their standings now, somehow?
Although I have had the sneaking suspicion my mum was trying to bait a response to tell if I was gay :s
I know for a fact that it would hurt my family relations, but I think my mom could eventually accept it. My problem is that I live in a very religious, conservative area, so that wouldn’t go over too well.
Oh, that sucks! I hate to say it because I firmly believe that expressing one self and not bottling emotion is crucial, but in this case I’d advise hanging on. It’ll be worth it!
And you’ve always got us to vent to ^^
That’s true. Hopefully next year I’ll be going to a college that’s in a much more liberal area though. I’ve even heard it called my area’s “gay college.” :p
yes, we’re like all gay here, :C I’ve never watched it myself though sorry. Never said any of us had taste lol 😉
Nah, you have good taste, you just haven’t enjoyed one of the many spices of life :p
Ill fix it someday I swear
Just food for thought I’m not gay but I have nothing wrong with anyone and no I normally don’t watch anything with the word horror in it
It’s not a horror film, it’s actually quite the opposite. It’s practically a love letter to classical campy films and certain classical science fiction films, as well as whatever Frankenstein isn
Kurusu buddy you crack me up, don’t ever change
You are so precious and innocent and I love it.
I’m more of a Supernatural gay.

I like Rocky Horror and im not gay.
You don’t have to be Gay to enjoy Rocky (you just need to have good taste :p) it’s just that the nature of the show draws in a huge gay fan base.
lol just the way u worded it
I may watch it if I’m not busy during it and I’m right with you
I’m a straight ally, and also a big theatre person, but I have never once seen Rocky Horror. For some reason I’ve just never had any interest.
It’s a cultural experience!
Has anyone else in a game just want to jump in a game and kill a boss of a game for me it’s Dame Deadtime of Yo-kai watch 2
Hmmmm if off the top of my head…….
I dunno all I saw was the Egg Golem from Sonic Adventure Two Battle
The Bittercold from PMD.
That caught me off guard but I just lost then went right back and killed it
After I figured out what to do it was easy, but I hated for not being a Pokemon. :p
Poliwrath bros get me everytime
I don’t even know where to begin with all of this info, a lot of it sounds amazing to me. These games really are going to be awesome! One thing I’m not all that upset about is the 3D aspect of the system never use it tbh, its kinda just a switch on my 3DS that sits there. Besides the graphics are beautiful on its own without having to use it imo

As you can see. They are the same and no white pokeball can be seen next to them.
So out of curiousity, who here isn’t gay/bi/etc?

I’m not.
Nope.
Nope as in not straight or nope as in not gay/bi ? :p
As in not gay/bi.
Good to know
Oh, I just realized why you were confused.
I’m not.
Straight as a die
Do straight that you have multiple faces of straight? :p https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fc9324a04589cb1e86d3974136c93d6e87ee34ec5e07ebf4d1c311ee2c1ed042.png
I’m straight, but being in theatre a lot of my friends are LGBTQ+. Certainly made it easier for me to get a gf in college 😛 Two years later and now she’s my fiance!
I mean I wouldn’t call myself a very active member of the community because though I’ve been here since the B/W days I only post when I have something to say, but as a completely unrepresentative sample of people who are more on the lurker side of things, I’m straight.
This definitely seems to be the most LGBT frequented major pokémon site, and I’d be curious to see the results of a poll on the subject, but obviously it’d be somewhat complicated to hold one.
I’m straight
You know I’ve never heard someone talk about this

Wow, these reports made the games sound interesting already. If anything, it made me want to try myself right away!

I saw one before leaving from where I vacationed
“The protagonist’ father is mentioned”
I like how this has basically become an in joke to the series. Like, “SPOILERS, you might have a dad.” I mean, it happened once before, only in the most epic way possible so perhaps they figured there’s no point in trying to top Norman. Seriously though, how about they switch it for one game and have a stay at home dad to hold down the fort?
Ur father is low key guzma duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That . . . is actually really plausible. But keep in mind that you are from Kanto.
Kukui went to kanto whats stopping guzma then?
What’s funny some of you are just like my friends at school
Earthen- like my one friend who’s uhhh…. just gonna say heftier like him and they both are overlord like (they should have a war)
Starstorm- My only female friend at my table (I have other female friends) who’s lesbian and loves Pokémon
That’s about it
AND THE TEACHER TAIL
All of my friends are gay. Except one. Huh. Just realized that
are you also gay? that one friend is probably the chillest friend then
Yep! And actually that one friend is the most hyper and off the walls.
thats good!
My main squad is like that, we have Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Bi, Probably Bi, Maybe Bi, and then straight :p
That’s odd that they’re so common for you, I only know one gay person in real life (and I don’t really know him, it’s more like I know OF him).
Where I live being LGBT seems actually way more popular than it says, they say 10% of the population, but where I live its more like 45% I kid you not, literally half the people at my work are gay, all the people I was friends with in HS have come out, and even in university most of the guys on my campus were gay. I think its just that gay people themselves pay more attention to who is and who isn’t so we see way more
My squad fills up the LGBT anagram plus A if you consider the A to also mean Ally
Mine
Straight (Me), Bi, A(Asexual he says), Gay, Straight, Lesbian, Not sure
Me: Trans/Lesbian, 1 lesbian friends, 2 gay friends, 1 intersex, 1 bi, 1 questioning, 1 straight
Ok seriously though maybe I’m just a bad judge, there’s over a thousand kids at my school, and I only know of one.
Alot of people are pretty open in their sexuality and gender identitiy at my school despite the (rumored idk how true it is) homophobic principle
Well, my school is religious, so you know how that goes I’d assume.
I do I went to one for 5 years
My school is in an area which is like, half deprived and half middle class, and despite that mix seemingly lending itself to homophobia, there’s a lot of gay and bi kids there who’re open. It’s weird how some of the most unlikely places are the gayest :p
Although it’s not open enough for trans students, I only know of one and she can’t be properly out :/
Unfortunately trans people are still a bit behind just gay and bi people are because of the lack of understanding about what it is. Some think it is just transvestism, some think it’s a mental illness, just a ton of misconceptions.
Eventually I’m goona burst out of the closet and rainbows and blue,pink and white will fly through out the school halls but for now, I’m just here
It is a shame, but they’re making progress which is amazing! I’m proud of how far society has come, but it still has a loooooooooooooooooong way to go.
Also, I might be misreading the last part, but are you trans?
Yep. I’m trans!
thought of thishttps://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/518b18b39d8c3bb711a5145574203d88854953ef0c452fbcbec36e00723b79a7.jpg
Idk why this messed up so bad but it was supposed to be ellen on the cover of Time magazine with the “yep I’m gay”
Well, it’s awesome you found people who’ll support you no matter what! A lot of trans people aren’t as lucky and it’s frankly heart breaking :/
Seriously. I really am lucky to be able to find people. It really makes me sad that people don’t have that in their life.
Omg star I love ya <3 XD

aww i dont even know how to respond to this :>
bird mom is always a good choice, I identify with her most out of all the single gems, and probably with Opal out of the fusions if I knew more about her
I wish the fusions could talk more. Dang celebrity voice actors!
Who doesn’t love Star? You’re absolute amazing mate! 😀
aw omg guys no stop idk how to take this stuff thank you
My squad is 1 gay, 2 pan, 3 bi, 2 straight, and 1 ace/questioning.
What’s pan again?
Sort of like bi, but you are open to date people regardless of gender identity including None Binary identities
Oh yeah right
I remember that now
my squad
1 straight (me)
My squad 1 straight (me), 1 asexual (lunchbox).
My squad and I recently graduated High School. We all kind of just came together randomly in Freshman year — Nobody had come out by then. By the end of Senior year, everyone was like “Wait what? We’re all gay here.” Myself and two others are straight. 1 pan. 1 gay. 3 bi.
You guys are like my friends at school.
Both I’ve never seen in real life.
🙁
I have no friends
That’s what I was implying as well.
Hey you guys got me.
Yeah but what about the nine hours of the day when I’m stuck in the hell called high school.
Oh yeah me I have mostly have my friends from middle school then my one friend I made in English who’s a girl (I adore her she is beautiful but me very shy to ask her out)
Eh, I’d go for it! I’m not one to give advice, but all I know is I missed my window on asking out a friend of mine, and now it’s too late. We haven’t talked in years.
Yeah but from which school she’s from… nicknamed Pennjail (it has had a worse rep then all the others) of what I’ve heard lots of them are already lost their umm how do I put this… virginity there
But knowing her I feel she most likely has not lost it…
Hm, that’s tough. I thought you went to the same school. All I’ll say from experience is don’t miss your chance; you’ll regret it later (I don’t mean now, but just in general).
Yeah cause I really want to but my brain has developed its own unique anxiety maneuver (I hate it) that when I try to do something like ask for her number I just rapidly go nervous and when asked for her number almost dropped my phone in the middle of the hall… in front of her but I shall try
I also can find out more about her because my brothers girlfriend found her instagram
Oh, I know ALL about anxiety issues, you’re talking to the master here. I’ve got them mostly under control, but it still flares up from time to time (this past week, to name a time).
I’m sorry that sounds bad but good they are under control me I just get all scatterbrained then my brain thinks of the worst for some reason
I understand more than anybody, no need to explain.
I have liked (or rather loved?) someone from my middle school for 6 years. Please do not be like me and act on it instead lol
My first crush in middle school I ask was rejected… that crush wasn’t out of the picture till march of 8 grade I screwed up there
It won’t always be that way. My best friend asked out another one of our friends on the last day of school and she said yes, so it’s worth a shot.
Yeah yet sadly had the plan to ask on last day (about 6 time I asked that year) and to here her call her boyfriend I cried for 5 mins after then got over it
That’s rough man. I remember when my friend asked out my crush a few years ago, and I hated him for it. But I got over it, and I no longer hate him for it. It’s not like he did it to be mean, I was never vocal about it.
Yeah yet I’m kind of better of now I found out that girl is a Massasist Evo who wants to be killed… yeah that doesn’t work for me to deal with
This girl though I like now even says she is shy so I hope this is my lucky shot
Yep, I missed my chance and haven’t liked anyone since (but then again I now go to an all boys school). Even though that sounds clingy, it’s not like I’m not over her, but it’s more like I’m wary.
I’m in college now so I can actually try to find people if I want to. I’ve made up my mind that when I see her next, in December probably, I’m just going to tell her and get the (likely) rejection over with
Best of luck. I have zero chance, because like I said, all boys school, and I have zero social life. I’m trying to be less antisocial, but it’s hard to learn as an introvert, it goes against my nature.
I’m always the fat one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX_xgoo4IBM
I was not meaning to offend just pointing out a trait I remember you guys have
I am very much aware of my size
It’s ok just more for the women to love
Siiiigh if only that were true…… So lonely…..
There’s always someone out there for everyone including me… the guy who can’t get a girlfriend to save his life
The odds are infinitely against me
You’ll find someone Earthen. Someone had a crush on me. Me of all people, in an extremely smaller dating pool (guys who like guys) and I’m not exactly a catch. I’m like the blandest guy out there.
I’m cute but I am possibly at my school the unlucky one there
Ditto Fairy! I actually have a guy who I’m head over heels for and he feels the same way! There is hope Earthen. Oh, and my SO is two times my size(Belly for days!<3)
Aww, that’s so cute! Hope you two have a really good future ahead of you!
We’ve been together for about 4 months now. 🙂 Thanks!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8215fed1b28e042ffd8ca6d5de981404563576dc5bbd6f8e23fc28c3828f1367.gif
I have to watch that show. It’s on my list!
It’s ok at season one, great at season 2 amazing at season 3 and AMAZING OMG at season 4. it just gets better and better
My boyfriend is a huge fan. He said after Ancient/Giant Women if I haven’t liked what I’ve seen to stop watching lol
Ehh I’d extend that to episode 25 Ocean Gem. That’s what hooked me (Though I was watching the series regularly anyways)
I only like Connie, and I was advised to just stop watching (by nice rational fans, BTW, not haters) since I wasn’t into it after the episode that introduced Peridot in Season 1.
“The gem war is the focus of the show, and if you were disinterested in it, you should just quit.” 🙂
I have to find a source in which to watch it. Lol
Ah, they gave me a website where I could watch it, but in the end I had to use the Bay. I got all the episodes from Seasons 1-3 in case I’m into it again.
*cough* kisscartoon *cough*
I didn’t see anything *Wink*
Not getting into this tonight
I have zero curb appeal and that’s a big factor nowadays
Curb appeal? What’s that?
Think about for 2-3 seconds
Well, Earthen I think you’re cool, and hilarious. 🙂
He’s a great writer, so that’s something.
Even better. Plus, he’s passionate. Look at his fairy type rants. That kind of passion is what makes girls swoon. 😉
Let’s have the whole website be a wingman! xD
Hell, yeah! Let’s get Earthen a date!
Appreciate the offer….I think but it would never work, my path is a path forever destined to walk alone
Well that’s a pretty lonely path isn’t it? Let’s call an uber to get you on a better path
There is no point, I’ve been alone far too long to the point human interaction is nothing but pain and awkwardness
Earthen, on the roads, there’s somebody for everybody :p
Screw it, Mary Boberry is the only one I want
He’s saying he would not make a good prostitute.
I’d like to point out that your environment plays a large role. AFAIK, nobody liked me in highschool. In college, even if some people are just thirsty af, multiple people have said that I’m pretty attractive.
I have a lot of self-doubt, so that means a lot lol.
Well I got no attractive traits whatsoever
Either have I, I’ve got an odd body shape and a tooth gap but I’ve still had guys compliment me. There’s someone out their who’ll appreciate you.
Can’t vouch for your personality much because I don’t know you in person though.
You like fairies so in my books you’re a solid 10 lol
Right back atcha mate! :p
Never been complemented on my body in my entire life, nor has any flirted with me or shown the slightest bit of attention…
There will be someone who thinks you’re attractive, regardless of how you feel about yourself.
And remember, they don’t have to flirt with you to find you attractive. It could simply be that people that have found you attractive either walk on by for reasons (business, not the kind to flirt, etc) orwhen could be someone who’re too nervous to compliment you-flirting and compliments are hard as to go through with.
I’m with you man. Apart from height.
oh earthen theres someone for everyone trust me <3
That’s what they all say just so their brains don’t have future company with lead
no its actually true because beauty is subjective, the only real thing people look for is symmetry but even then there are plenty of people who will find you attractive even if you’re not perfectly symmetrical.
Well, you’re feisty and loud and borderline offensive. Someone out there is probably into that
BORDERLINE?
*Hucks a grenade*
Did I offend you, good sir? It’s almost like….IDGAF
I’m super mega foxy awesome hot. Too bad I’m ace and will likely die alone with my cats.
Y’know they eat ya afterwards
I’m actually okay with that.
And if you’re thinking I’m just rooting for your demise it’s actually a scientific fact that some pets devour their owners when they die….except snakes they do it regardless….but it’s called Postmortem Predation
You still probably are rooting for my demise though. Most people are.
Don’t give them credit
I did before it was cool…or the sheer fact I’m a psycho
You are indeed. I might also be
a heavy man can be a handsome man. depends on how you present yourself. I’m hefty myself, but I dress nice and groom myself well.
big is better?? I don’t know I’m just tryin to lighten the mood XD
UB-03 Chaos! (Rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b066de2c8499b48ad7953787ede440dfd149af157b10780baf5de56ab249b365.gif “let’s get weird!”
YES
Remember; reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!
My favorite quote from Bill!
As a rich capitalist I welcome your new tyrannical rule.
–
Did I quote that accurately?
Capitalist pig!
Communism shall reign supreme one day!!!
I ask you, is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
That they are, just as long as everyone gets a piece….except the ones who are more equal
no says the man in the whitehouse, it belongs to the poor. No says the man in the Vatican, it belongs to god. No says the man in Moscow, it belongs to everyone.
Uhhhhhhh *Slashes you with a sickle and pounds you with a hammer*
really? has no one played bioshock?
I have xD “I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose….Rapture.” I still prefer Bioshock Infinites intro though.
same here. I just beat bioshock 2 for the first time. everyone bashes that game, all I can say is that its waaaay better than what people make it out to be, but still overall my least favorite.
I think so. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b08ca6f8be1bbb66c161b868cf243d49d2a24be30f56620e34f488b88a2c716.gif
THE GRAVITY FALLS REFERENCES!!!!
I would be fine with this
Your back how are you Green?
Where was I?
It’s just I haven’t talked to you in… somewhere from a few days to a few hours
I was here, but I don’t post as often as usual. I’m not allowed to go on the internet (don’t ask) on weekdays anymore, so I’ve been keeping it low key. But I was still here, man 🙂
Yay!! To you staying at least
gotta stay off those site until your older my friend!
It’s not like that, trust me.
I was just spending, quote, “Too much time on the internet.”
I don’t understand though. My grades are all A’s, I’m doing fine at all my extra-curricular stuff. It’s weird, but I have to live with it -_-
I was joking lol
I know lol
I’m just saying.
Gravity falls = BEST SHOW EVER
“WE’LL MEET AGAIN, DON”T KNOW WHERE, DONT KNOW WHEN,
OH I KNOW WE’LL MEET AGAIN SOME SUNNY DAY!”
We had so much conversation and now it’s suddenly dead, what happened? ._.
Still here but probably cause if bed times or work they left all of a sudden
I’m procrastinating. I have two exams tomorrow, and I’m already screwed, so I might as well not try?
No one likes Sundays. At least I don’t.
wait is the demo releasing at the same time for everywhere or is like Australia gets it when 12am for them then japan etc.?
I think it just happens as your timezone gets to the date. So Japan/Australia/New Zealand etc. will likely have it first as the dates change around the world.
so we can see info by 9am tmmr lol
gotta be honest, I don’t really care one bit about the 3d being atrocious in poke’Finder, because I never use the 3d anyways. I honestly don’t care about pokefinder at all either.
I’m really looking forward to the Poke’Finder as it’s kind of like a throwback to Pokémon Snap 🙂 But yeah, the 3D is just unnecessary.
I loved pokemon snap. its so weird, playing these games again as an adult, everything is super easy now. (mischief makers comes to mind as a game I remember being really difficult, nowadays I 100% it without dying once in like 4 hours tops.)
Although, usually it’s the other way around 😛 Going back to games like Glover and SMB3, they’re actually so difficult.
I have a copy of super Mario allstars in my SNES, but ive never actually played glover.
It’s a game that I really wish was better than it is. There are some really fun mechanics and ideas in there, but overall the game is kind of broken…
Well they don’t have 3D everywhere else in the game, might as well make it consistent, right?
I don’t care at all that 3D is gone in battles. I hope we get online battle arena options.
I hope we get more local options in addition to more online options. I hated that if you play locally, you couldn’t choose any more than 4 songs in x/y ORAS. I really, really, REALLY want the option to choose different arenas to battle in. There’s so many wonderful backgrounds in alola (the oricorio trailer comes to mind) and it’d be a shame to only be able to use the one that looks like a MGS virtual reality mission…
With you there when it comes to the 3D, never use it either I tried to a couple of times but it wasn’t something I really liked xD
Getting hyped for that demo, I can’t wait to see what Ash-Greninja’s stats are like compared to it’s normal form
This is an obvious joke, but maybe it’ll gain a weakness to fire:
Watch out Ithsme, you might spark a blazing hot argument with that hot topic!
I wish I could just sleep the entire day away just freaking once, I want nothing to do with tomorrow and just want the demo asap
I’m pulling an all nighter so I can fall asleep tomorrow easier! XD
What if it drops at midnight
I’m waiting to play it with my friends anyway, so I’m not too bothered.
Me too but I have a German Test that probably holds my Grade in The balance so me have no way to get out
They kicked me out of second language
Why? I wish I could leave it I’d rather take none or at worst Italian
I just did not get it
I understand 1% of what my teacher says and that’s the English he speaks fluent German for 45 mins to us I understand 0%
Seeing as tonight’s theme seems to be ‘Fairy is asking questions despite the fact its nearly half three in the morning but maybe he just wants to pull an all nighter because it’s the school holidays?’, here’s a Q for you all!
What’s your career aspirations?
Personally, I want to be a dietician.
A veterinarian, a cartoonist, or an Animator
Heeeeey I’m an Animator myself 🙂 We were nominated to an Emmy Kids Award 😀 didn’t win though
That’s cool what’s it like?
It was a 2d animated series from Argentina, about a little kid that travels through time and tells the Argentinian history. Really cool and super mainstream here. Currently working in another series Siesta Z, you can check it here siestaz.tv 🙂
All three are really cool fields to get into, and it’s great that you can keep your options open. I believe in you! 😀
I wanna be a game developer. Whether that means being a Designer, Programmer or Artist, I just wanna make games!
We have something in common then
Two of my friends are really wanting to get into that, and I mean, why wouldn’t they? It’s a chance to get into a industry that ignites passion within so many, and it’s definitely a hot topic in this day and age!
It’s such a budding medium too. There is so much unexplored territory that i wanna experiment with!
Right!? There’s so much left to do and so many people who can don it! You go for it star! 😀
I want to be a writer. Gay protagonist for days!
Yeah! Rainbows!!!!!!!!!

I’d like to see LGBT characters break free from the stereotypes that define them. 🙂
That’s what I’m trying to do with my project. I want to make an RPG about identity!
I bought an RPG Maker off steam and I’m trying to do the same from an indie aspect 🙂
Do it! Interactive media and exploration of concept go marvelously together.
I’m planning it right now! I really want to do it right and have the mechanics really reinforce that theme!
I have a concept for a novel series, and the main character is a Lesbian woman of colour.
Oddly, I just started writing and imagined the character like that, which I’m quite happy with because I personally dislike my own writing when I force diversity :s
That’s a great choice 🙂
People have said my writing is really good, but I can’t see it being my career. Maybe as a hobby, though.
oh me too. i wanna be a game developer too
Me….me too.
Have you made a game yet? Even a super small one level game. If not there is nothing stopping you!
No not yet it’s not my work field but I will do someday I am sure of it.
You should try to learn Unity or Game Maker in your spare time. It’s never too early to start learning
I used to make 3d modeling it’s a part of my job, digital arts….I am not intended to be programmer though.
Oh god. Unity is one of my most hated game engines and Game Maker is so full of bugs and ‘quirks’ I’m amazed games made with it don’t fall over.
I made a small RPG about the size of say, FF6’s intro section, on RPG Maker, but I lost interest in RPG’s, and now I’m about to try making a metroidvania in Game Maker.
Anything to do with game dev is hard, it’s a very cut-throat business.
If you ever decide to take up programming though, be sure to let me know, I was the best programmer in my class at college. (Also I suggest you actually try it before considering it as a career move, it tends to be a lot different to what people expect it to be.)
I actually already know UnityScript(or I guess just Java Script) and a bit of Java/C# (they are so similar)
I am taking a programming class next semester in high school so I’m excited to expand my programming skills
There’s no such thing as ‘UnityScript’ last time I checked. Originally they used Javascript, C# and Boo Script, but they dropped Boo. Javascript is a horrible language, C# is good but Unity’s API is really ugly.
If you decide to take up C# as your main language, give XNA/Monogame a try. I only used it in its XNA form before Microsoft discontinued it and it got picked up as Monogame, but it’s a good API.
I’m going to be an author! Its my dream and Im going to make it happen! I’ve already written a good chunk of my first fantasy novel
What’s it about? I’d love to hear it!
I cant share any deets on disqus but you can find me on the forums and I can send you a summery of it there (tmrw though since I have to get up for work in like 6 hrs)
Okay, good luck with work! :p
Sounds good, good luck with that!
If it’s out you can give us a title and we’d look for it in amazon or something.
Videographer/Digital Media Producer. Ideally for a company like Disney or Buzzfeed, but we’ll see where I go.
Unyielding breaker of wills, a tyrannical barbaric conqueror with vast legions of elemental soliders to lay waste to everything and everyone
You can do it Earthen! We believe in you!
Flattery will only leave in beheadment
and also a sharp raise in Special Attack
Uuuuuuh… You can’t do it? We don’t believe on you? :p
But in all seriousness, wishing you luck on whatever career you’re on.
I ain’t got no more dreams, I have a little song….
https://youtu.be/8C5F9uCifD4
I believe in lots of things including Earthens pure happiness
Well you’re out of luck, haven’t been happy in years
I thought you liked Mudsdale reveal
Yeah and then it’s just gonna end up sucking and dying to special attackers and anything faster
imagine having that on a resume lol
The funny thing is the boss actually believes it and turns over the company and all its assets to me out of fear and stupidity
Lady dates for days with that line of work! 😉
yeah I don’t think they’ll be willing
Look at all the women who wanted Alexander the Great! He could have had any woman if he wasn’t fabulous. Lol
I can’t have career aspirations anymore, I already have a career. 🙂
I have hobby aspirations though, and I hope to have a successful webcomic someday.
I want to work as marketing manager in a retail company
Voice actor. I’m very good at it but I live without transportation and in a much more rural area to get started in it. I practice all the time, even to the point where when I’m at work, I can change my voice and no one notices (I currently work in a hospital)
I want to be a doctor of some sort. And a part-time animator.
I’m also wanting to get myself a doctorate, partially to advance in the field of dietetics, partly because I want to show off :p
“Oh yeah, I’m a doctor.”

Immortal, Infinitely Powerful Superhero
DO ET!!
I require an origin story event.
Well let’s see… Story plot
And if there’s a hole I will point them out harshly
I feel it needs to be some form of higher power, like through a God or something giving me the powers. One would have to exist though.
My story is either the whole cursed Tabletop fantasy game cliche and all my powers originate from characters and lore from the game
Or that I find a Scepter containing the dormant Soul of an Elemental Goddess and I touch it and her spirit gets absorbed by this fat smelly mortal vessel along with her supernatural control of the earth
For the former, you mean like Jumanji?
No………Robin Williams……(;_;)
I am leaning towards a mix because this could easily allow a constant stream of antagonists to work with because Superpowers without a means to use them get dull
Depends on the person, it really won’t. There’s ways to be amused when supervillains don’t exist…
I once created a superhero that’s basically Superman… but this guy’s gimmick is he beats up people who cut in line on subways.
I have years and years of writing fantasy hero stuff
I think there’s more than enough crime to stop globally. I watch the news everyday and feel crappy I can’t do anything ever.

Ok ok
Aliens invade and take over Earth until all humans are wiped out except for you. You hid for years and when you were found, you were exalted as a god and you were given the strongest weapons and powers of that alien race and you fight to defend your planet against other aliens while struggling with the realities of what happened to your species and if you should be fighting like this!
Probably there’s not much point if everyone else is wiped out. Unless I find a new world to protect.
You ate too many pancakes.
*Panquakes
“Even Pokémon researchers don’t know why Raichu’s form changed in the
Alola region. The people of Alola seem unconcerned by the question.
Their guess: maybe it ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes!”
That pisses me off so god damn MUCH
http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/546/952/684.gif
UGHHHHHHHH
How many is too many? I’ve eaten quite a few in my time.
Eleventybillionandeleventeen
I doubt even a Snorlax could manage that definitely real number.
I want to be a graphic designer for a video game company or just have a career that involves video games being the main component. I’m currently a sophomore in college studying in this field, so that’s what I am trying to be.
As someone with qualifications in vidyadev, you’ve got your work cut out for you, it’s a tough world.
Palaeontology professor, or more generally biology academia, but definitely an emphasis on the former
I’m a musician/artist.
So not aspiration but already career XD
Oh hey, you’re on the same time zone as me *has just woken up*
I half intend to be a programmer, half would be fine with just doing something dead end since all jobs are boring anyway.
At least you’re honest XD
Honesty is the best policy 😛
I am actually reasonably qualified to be a programmer. I have a BTEC in Video Game Design and a HND in Computing (I regret not doing Coputer Science instead though).
But jobs are hard to come by, and thanks to the sudden upsurge of indie games the competition is brutal. And if I were to do non-video game related programming I’d probably end up with boring database work or they’d be wanting people to do ‘apps’ instead of proper programs (for computers with a mouse and keyboard) or they’d be wanting websites instead.
Honestly is the best brutality
I hope I can be a presenter on tv. I wanna be the host of many tv shows. But it’s pretty hard to become one… Otherwise I may be a lawyer, since I’m studying law atm.
Lawyer probably pays better.
Both would probably require pretending to be nice to people you hate though.
Being a tv host doesn’t pay that bad either, and I’d like it a lot more. I just hope I can make it, it’s not easy to get into the tv world.
I suppose it also depends where you live, it might be easier in some places than others.
Also I could be wrong but I think a fair number of people get on TV through radio. In my country at least.

Good Night!
Night!
Night!
Yo this is non pokemon related but there are so many live-action movie adaptations in the upcoming years. I’m kinda hyped for it. PLUS DON’T FORGET THE LIVE ACTION POKEMON MOVIE!!!
All video game movie adaptations are terrible, no exceptions so far. My hopes aren’t high for a live action Pokémon movie.
I’m keeping my expectations low for Pokemon but freaking Alex Hirsch is writing it.
But when I meant live action adaptations I meant: Beauty and the Beast, Deathnote, The Little Mermaid, and more.
Oh yes and Jumanji which is like a remake of the old one.
I don’t have high hopes for that, they’d really struggle to top the original. They’re probably gonna CGI-gloss the crap out of it.
At least it’s technically not a complete remake and more of a reboot, it looks like they’re having a different plot. Karen Gillan is a good choice, Dwanye Johnson isn’t too bad but I get tired of seeing him play tough guys, and Jack Black tends to be quite samey.
Yah but Kevin Hart. So hoorah.
Lol I don’t have high hopes for that either. I was just naming stuff they are doing this year.
Never heard of him before, and looking at his filmography I’ve never seen him in anything either. I’ve seen him in precisely one thing and it’s something I desparately tried to bleach from my brain.
Fair enough. It is kind of a shame though, Karen Gillan is good (in her own right, not just because of Doctor Who or that superhero film)
I’m guessing your not American right?
Kevin hart is a very very funny comedian who is extremely popular here.
Nope.
Depends on the style of jokes, most American humour tends to be crude, slapstick or juvenile from what I’ve seen.
It wouldn’t be impossible that a non-American would know about him looking at the number of films he’s been in, but most of the stuff he’s been in are the sort of things I tend not to watch (e.g. the ‘scary movie’ line).
Yah. His is like,
Sorry was in the middle of typing and it sent. But what I was dying is hit style is more self-deprecating. But he’s for sure funny. But Seinfelds still my #1 guy
“what I was dying is hit” XD
Eh, might be ok, I dunno. I don’t tend to watch mutch stand-up anyway.
Beauty And The Beast and The Little Mermaid sound boring, Deathnote might be good. For the Pokemon thing, even if the graphics are awful, as long as they give Alex Hirsch free roam it should turn out ok (unless he’s just doing a rewrite of an existing script, in which case it’s going to be mixed).
Beauty and the beast actually visually looks amazing. Plus Emma Watson plays Belle (she’s like, real life belle) and the characters look amazingly designed.
I don’t know about Little mermaid.
Eh, I lost faith in Emma Watson after all the ‘him for her’ stuff. I’m half expecting them to change the plot since I’ve heard feminists attack Beauty And The Beast as an ‘allegory of rape’ story before (among other crazy allegations).
Oh, yeah some of those could be good. The live action Disney ones have been really good so far IMO, so much that they are doing many many more. The new Ghost in The Shell movie is worrying, especially if it is bad as it may set a new precedent which may well be followed by Death Note. Of course there have already been Live action Death Note movies in Japan.
Yah but the Deathnote one is “americanized” and will feature “many adult scenes” since its going to be out on Netflix
Plus they are doing a live action Lion King. I’m hyped for that.
Same director as Jungle book, and let me tell you. That movie was phenomenal.
Which Jungle Book? This years or next years?
This years
Uuuuuuh
Gonna keep them questions coming
Hmm.
Well, Pokejungle is full of colourful characters, so why not focus on colours?
Answer three of these:
1) Eye Colour
2) Hair Colour
3) Bedroom Wall Colour
4) Least Favourite Colour
5) Favourite Colour
6) Colour of the last cat you saw?
7) Main colour of your favourite Pokémon
1.Green
2.Black
3.Tan
4.Orange
5.Purple or Green
6. Black (My sister’s cat is so cuuute)
7.Brown
1) REALLY DARK brown
2) Black
3) Blue and Green
4) Texas Orange
5) Green
6) Black
7) Blue
Here’s mine BTW
1) Blue (outer) and Grey (inner) (Central Heterochromia bros, get on my level ‘w’)
2) Brown
3) Blue
4) Green
5) White
6) White, Brown and Black (Friend’ s cat over Snapchat)
7) Pink
I thought I had central Heterochromia but it could just be my weird eyes
Is it two distinct colours? If it is it could be!
yes, green and brown but sometimes they change in shade or get brighter or darker, sometimes the green is not able to be seen at all and other times its very very distinct
I don’t know the distinct name for it, but it’s probably some form of Heterochromia.
Probably, I honestly think I got a combination of my parents eyes, my dads eyes are green but sometimes change to blue for some reason and my mothers are dark brown
Well, regardless of what they are, eye sure think they sound eyentresting :p
Eye love puns!
I saw a cat with heterochromia in greece once.
The odd-eyes kind, not the central kind.
I see Heterochromia all the time, my neighbour has huskies and it’s really common in them.
My sister also dated a guy with complete Heterochromia, too bad it was the only interesting thing about him :p
I’ve never encountered a person with it to my knowledge, but I tend not to look at people’s eyes or remember their eye colours so it’s completely possible I knew someone and didn’t notice it.
I have a birthmark on one of my eyes that makes it very distinct from most people but I won’t go into detail as to what it looks like because it’s too uniquely identifying 😛
Yeah, don’t blame you wanting to avoid being identifiable, I only divulged on my eyes because I know central Heterochromia is quite uncommon, but not terribly rare, especially among Caucasians (and I’m in Scotland, so of course I blend in :p).
Yeah, heterochromea is fairly well documented (full heterochromea is even a common anime trope), but I’ve never even heard of anyone having a mark like I’ve got, let alone having seen one on TV or on the internet. I can’t even find an image that’s comparable.
My grandad is Scottish 😛
And that certainly explains why we’re in the same timezone, we’re on the same landmass/island. (Assuming you aren’t on one of those small island off the coast of Scotland, though I’ve got a feeling most of those don’t have internet XD)
You know what that means?
Yer a wizard, Pharry :p
Eeeyup, UK represent :p
I couldn’t cope living on an island, much too quiet and too much terrible Internet. I’m a mainland boy, born and raised :p
That was a horrible joke ; n ;
I could manage it if the internet was alright, I don’t mind being isolated. Same. I’m semi-rural, half-town half-countryside.
I am a terrible joke :p
See, I couldn’t even really cope with semi-rural, I’m a city kinda guy. I need to have that constant noise and change every day, although I do live in what is best described as a ‘micro sub-urb’ so it gets quiet at night.
I dislike noise and people, I like quiet and laidback life. There’s a town centre where I live, but I’m on the outskirts and live near a reasonably large open field/wooded area where I occaisionally walk. It’s still quite noisy though because I live near some reasonably important roads and people where I live like to mow their lawns and do DIY a lot.
I guess we’re two total opposites, English(?)man :p
Yeah, but I’m probably exceptional even for where I live, so that’s not unusual. Most people where I live are more town oriented, though that might be because they live nearer the town centre and/or have hardly ventured to any nearby villages.
Yeah, English 😛

Allllllrighty bouys and gills, the next questions up are gonna tie back to Pokémon because I feel some of us forgot it’s a Pokémon site :p (myself included).
1) Least Favourite Pokémon Of Your Favourite Type?
2) Favourite Pokémon Of Your Least Favourite Type?
1) Druddigon
2) Alakazam
1. Dark type and Fire type tie: Stunky and Delphox
2. Snorlax (normal type)
Mr.Mime
Klingklang
hmm.
1) Dunsparce
2) Arcanine
1. Favorite Type (Psychic): Unown
2. Least Favorite Type (Normal): Exploud
1) Altaria
2) Volcarona
1)(favorite type:fairy) Slurpuff
2)(least favorite type:rock) Tyranitar
Might as well chime in with mine :p
Hmmmm, I wonder what my favourite type is? :p
1) Mr. Mime
2) Dragalge
Poor Mimey 🙁
Dragalge is funny since it’s secondary type is good against your favourite type, like mine 🙂
Yeah, it is quite ironic but that just makes me like it more for some reason :p
Also, I do like Mime… Just less than everyone else :p
I only dislike that in English it’s got a gender specific name. I know it’s because gen 1 had no genders but still.
1) (Fire) Delphox
2) (Ice) Lapras
I like Ice types, just less than others I guess. I also like Delphox, again just less than the others.
1- Carvanha – Dark
2- Silvally
I don’t really have favourite/least favourite types, but I’ll generalise for the sake of an answer.
1) Gothitelle
2) Komala
+1 for Komala.
Komala needs more love.
Komala feels forgotten compared to all the new reveals and Rockruff getting its evos
But its alright
A God is never truly forgotten
Praise Komala
Komala sleeps, waiting for its day of recognition.
http://static.zerochan.net/Pok%C3%A9mon.full.2009847.jpg
I still don’t forget it..but it need to evolve.
1) Luvdisc for Water
2) Carracosta for Rock
Jynx(Psychic)
Celebi (Grass)
Fairy which pokemon is your all time favorite?
Hmm… I’d say Spritzee for now, but Popplio3 and Tsareena are killing it for me. One will probably become my favourite when I actually play the games.
Yours?
Slowking! I feel if I were a Pokémon I would be a water/psychic type plus I love his design. So cute! Although Lycanroc (Midnight) is stealing my heart as well.
Slowking is heavily underrated, especially since it didn’t get a Mega when it’s counterpart did :<
Lycanroc is a strong design tho
I know! I am so sad Mega Slowking isn’t a thing. I was hoping for an Alolan version of him!
Do you think Popplio3 will really be Fairy?
Yeah, it looks like a selkie/mwrmaid/siren thing which seems to be the perfect opportunity for Water/Fairy.
True! Though I think fighting would be a interesting choice! 🙂
I wish slowking were more powerful, it’s one of my favourite pokemon. Plus it’s one of the few able to speak (according to lore).
Exactly! I love highly intelligent pokemon. 🙂
Good choice. Spritzee/Aromatisse is one of my favourite G6 pokemon, if not my favourite. So glad it ended up in Y.
1. Tie between Macargo & Heatmor (fire)
2. Nidoking (poison)
1) Hoopa Unbound (Dark)
2) Lycanroc
1) Grass-type, Wormadam.
2) Normal-type, Persian because original cat.
1. Woobat Line (Psychic) and Skuntank (Dark)
2. Vikavolt (Bug)
Vanilluxe (ice obviously)
Shedinja (Bug)
Probopass (Steel)
Gardevoir (Fairy)
1) Samurott (Water)
2) Lycanroc (Rock)
Frillish (ghost)
Granbull (fairy) if i need to choose one
Simisear (Fire)
Xerneas (Fairy)
Honestly I don’t have a least favorite type, Fairy’s just the one I think is fine but not my favorite types
Did Rockruff and Komala ever get a proper English reveal?
Yes, I think it’s the 4th trailer.
There’s been so many this time, it’s hard to keep track of what was released and when orz
Just caught a 0 speed IV Ditto. Hoping I can trade it for a Non-English 0 Speed IV Ditto ready for Gen 7. Took around a box of Ditto before I found it. If only we could reduce IV’s with Hyper training too…
Why do you want 0? Purposely trying to breed a slow Pokemon?
LIkely for trick room, yeah.
Fair enough.
For both Trick Room and for Gyro Ball, also some weather ability ‘mon. I will probably look for a 0 Attack IV one for minimum Foul Play and Confusion Damage on special attackers as well.
The organ is very nice touch …this organ actually out of its body that extremely DARK ….all of us thought that belt on Litten3 waist is made of hair ….but is that thing could be an organ? http://media-cerulean.cursecdn.com/attachments/thumbnails/17/20/530/530/torracat_battle2.png
It says it’s an Organ for Torracat, I’m guessing it’ll keep that, moving to a slightly less savoury area…( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The waist. 😉
I didn’t know wat did u mean by savoury area but I can guess wat it is….but as Malco said it’s around it waist.
It’s an expression meaning less respectful of ‘common morals’, in this case it moves nearer it’s pelvic area, thus becoming slightly more ‘sexualised’ when combined with the word ‘Organ’. It may be difficult to explain, especially if you aren’t a native English speaker (and even if you are possibly).
savoury, (figuratively) Morally or ethically acceptable
The complication comes from it being a multi-layered joke, in that it is supposedly ‘morally wrong’ to discuss such things in public.
Or at least it used to be, the modern world doesn’t give a shit. (Self-demonstrating commentary XD)
Yeah, I don’t really like to be so overt with people who are pretty much strangers, I felt I was pushing it as it was :/
I have a similar issue every time I try to discuss the programming language ‘brainfuck’ in a serious conversation with people I don’t know and aren’t on the internet.
On the internet, anything goes. Though that might be because I’ve been spending too long on 4chan XD
Hey anyone wanna exchange FCs?
Mine is: 3909-8790-1946.
If you add mine, respond with yours and I’ll add you next chance I get.
I’m not going to bed, but I am away off the forums, so night all!
Goodnight 🙂
(An hour late XD)
That’s a point, isn’t it nearly 6am where you are too?
It’s the thought that counts ;P
My sleep has been really messed up recently 🙁
The demo, is it out? 🙂
Nope
Oh, 18, I thought it was supposed to be 16 :p
it 17 in japan.
Dawn of second day: 48 hours remain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPhVhQZUCpM
one of the best games ever made 🙂
I recently recompleted the 3DS remake.
In some ways I prefer it to its predecesor. It certainly had more atmosphere and was more macabre/spooky.
I love majoras mask so much. I have a very hard time explaining It, so I can only re-direct you to the best game reviewer ive ever heard: Matthewmatosis over on youtube. he has reviewed a lot of games, id recommend giving him a listen.
I’d say it’s a mixture of the haunting music, the surreal world, the interesting colour pallete, the layered events and stories, the way the main event has deeply impacted the life of every single person in the world and that it feels like a living world because every NPC has a routine, plus the way their behaviour changes upon completing significant events.
Nah, I never listen to reviewers, I only ever observe gameplay and make up my own mind, it’s the only way to be sure 😛
And I never watch youtube videos involving a real person narrating/giving a monologue (unless they are giving a lecture about a specific topic) if I can avoid it.
alright. i’d say give him at least one chance, but I cant force you if you don’t want to. he goes into such a depth that is so unheard of of anyone ive heard talk about anything, and its wonderful. just thought it’d help people think about the games they play on a much more deep and complex level is all.
I don’t like listening to videos that are just people talking since 9 times out of 10 it would be quicker to read a transcript/article than to sit there and listen.
I’m not trying to be disrespectful, anyone else probably would, but I’m not like most people when it comes to youtube. I only really use youtube for music, clips from tv series and instructional/lecture videos (e.g. about bezier splines or matrices).
“The D-Pad is no longer used for moving in the overworld – movement is no longer gridlocked and only the analog stick is used”
Sads
“The sneaking up on Pokémon mechanic from ORAS has been removed entirely”
Half and half. Having to sneak up was annoying but it was worth it for the easy 3+IVs.
“3D has been removed completely from the game other than important cutscenes and the PokéFinder”
Fair enough, hardly used it anyway.
“In the two hours of gameplay, very few people got to the first trial, much less completed it”
Excellent.
“You are able to change your hairstyle in the first major city”
Long hair had better be an option. But good
“The local Alolan Pokédex is split into four sections – one for each island – similar to the Kalos Pokédex”
Slightly unexpected but a nice feature.
“Confirmation that you do get medals for completing trials”
Unsurprising.
“When a Pokémon evolves you see its entire evolutionary family on screen”
Interesting
“Poké Pelago and Poké Ride were not available in the first two hours of the game”
Expected.
“The early events of Sun & Moon take place over several days”
Interesting, sounds good.
“The protagonist moved to the Alola Region from Kanto and arrived via plane”
DAMMIT KANTO!!! ; n ;
“Early in the game the protagonist falls off a bridge and is saved by Tapu Koko”
Neat.
“There is a Tauros that blocks the road to prevent you from continuing on to a certain area at one point”
Ah, the classic RPG tropes 🙂
“You meet the first Trial Captain, Ilima, at the Trainers’ School”
Completely expected.
“The EXP. Share is given to you at the Trainers’ School and still gives experience to your entire team”
*switches it off*
“The Gumshoos trail is the first in the game”
I think that’s supposed to be trial but also completely expected.
you liked the grid locked movement?
I still used it from time to time, it’s nice to have that feature there because of nostalgia (among other things).
Heck, part of me still misses sprites.
I gotta say, I wasn’t a fan of some the animated sprites in gen v (at least the back sprites) of them looked awful sometimes. swanna is a good example that comes to mind.
I’m thinking more G4. G5 tried to be a hybrid and it resulted in an abomination because they did it half-heartedly.
DPP and HGSS were almost perfect.
yeah I really liked those sprites, definitely the cleanest in the series sprite-wise
In terms of 3D ORAS was an improvement over XY, but hopefully SM will be an improvement over ORAS.
G4 will always be the best sprite-based graphics. Before the switch to 3D I was hoping XY would be more like HGSS because HGSS was beautiful.
http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/b/b1/Get-the-%3F-and-!-Unowns-in-Pokemon-HeartGold-Step-2.jpg/aid2803474-728px-Get-the-%3F-and-!-Unowns-in-Pokemon-HeartGold-Step-2.jpg
yes, HGSS had such a… I guess “vintage” would be the best word to describe it. if only I could have made it so my lead pokemon was in their pokeball instead of following me, I would have liked that game so much more.
I wouldn’t really call it ‘vintage’, there are still a lot of modern games that use a tile/grid-based system because it makes the game easier to make and gives a nice feel.
Odd, most people really liked the mechanic. I think I know what you’re getting at though, the thing you send into battle isn’t always what you want following you.
This is why the other day I proposed a ‘mascot’ system where one pokemon gets designated as your ‘mascot’ and that pokemon follows you around but doesn’t necissarily go into battle, like what Ash does with Pikachu.
I meant the overall design and feel of redesigned johto. the abundance of warm colors, yellows, reds, oranges, the slow, relaxing music. I remember vividly the redesigned ecruteak, the sight of the tower bathing in the fallen leaves.
Yeah, it’s hard to put a name to that. I’d say maybe oriental or traditional Japanese, or perhaps compare it to an ukiyo-e painting. The bell tower path I’d describe as ‘autumnal’.
I guess I don’t mind it, but I would prefer that to be present. I generally don’t like to wear out that analog stick more than I need to.
Also without the d-pad how are we gonna hatch eggs now without looking at the screen?
maybe festival plaza?
Well festival plaza is circular but the problem with the analog stick still exists. Good luck making our characters go straight left or right especially when we aren’t looking at the screen. Get it wrong and we might get stuck on a corner. 😉
In ORAS I use the D-Pad to circle around houses or jolt back and forth.
I like the d pad for navigating small spaces where you want to pick up an item but don’t want to accidentally jump off a ledge. The stick isn’t very accurate for that kind of thing.
Same. It was a nice touch for the more accurate moments
Glad to see I’m not the only one aware of its uses.
“The D-Pad is no longer used for moving in the overworld – movement is no longer gridlocked and only the analog stick is used”
The people who destroyed their analog stick through Smash 3DS will be crying.
Yup, glad I’m not one of them.
I’m just gonna miss it in general.
my stick fell off, I’m not sure how. but its a simple fix so its no big deal.

Oh, and: 37 days for us non-Americans.
why is that? ive always wondered but I couldn’t find an answer
No idea, all I know is we’re getting it 5 days later and nobody’s happy about it. It means loads of us are going to have to swerve pokemon news for about a week.
That’s why I’m half hoping there will be datamining, at least then everyone is punished.
I want datamining so I can plan a team. its not really a punishment.
It is for some who don’t want to know. It won’t bother me much if it’s only the pokedex that gets leaked and not the story.
The more I hear about people planning teams, the more I think I’m just going to wing it. Being prepared for everything will make the game too quick and easy, being unprepared will make it more of a challenge and might encourage me to use some pokemon I wouldn’t otherwise consider using if I was aware of there being someone better nearby.
Repercussion for the early leaks that happened in Europe, they want to avoid a leak before release.
That doesn’t sound legit, they’ve been planning a different release date for at least 7 months.
I hope it leaks in the US so they see that it can happen everywhere.
Only for Europe. Australia and Japan get it on the 18th as well.
Yeah, I don’t really like classing myself as part of Europe though.
Wasn’t aware Australia is getting the early date though, that’s weird considering they’re part of the commonwealth.
Yeah, that does seem odd. I’m guessing Europe is still getting punished for Italy and Spain leaking XY. Australia didn’t do anything :p
Italy and Spain should be punished, not all of us.
I don’t even think *all* of Italy and Spain should be punished – just the retailers who were wise guys. It wasn’t the whole country that did anything wrong 🙁
The retailers did, they got fined for several times the RRP.
Ha! Good.
It just sucks that anyone else has to pay for their mistakes.
Yes but, Canada also released early, they still get it the 18th. And that doesn’t explain why South Africa get it the 23rd.
:'( way to make me depressed..
It’s got to be said, America sometimes forgets us other people exist.
Right? idk get why its 5 days… why not 1 day later or idk… It just doesn’t make sense.. All of us get punished because some retailer fucked up xD
It’s because of PEGI, no other reason people give makes sense. If it was a punishment for leaking then Canada would be Punished too. And South Africa is also getting it the 23rd. South Africa use PEGI for Nintendo Games. In fact the only countries effected use PEGI, therefore, PEGI are the issue. Probably due to some sort of content in the games.
More likely PEGI’s system takes longer or they were late submitting or something.
I was just hinting at the fact almost nobody acknowledges that we’re getting it later when discussing how long until the game is released.
I must admit though, if I were in charge I’d be putting the other release dates back so that it releases for everyone at the same time.
I will likely be taking my leave in case of data dumps and losers that want to spoil the games for everyone. I just can’t wait to get my Rowlett ?
I want more new Pokémon
yeah!
Hmm, I wonder if Kukui battled the Kanto gym leaders’ Pokemon himself.
Less than 24 hours till the demo comes out on e-shop! SO EXCITED OMG
So, just wondering, will the Japanese get their e-shop demo at 12am their time, meaning we might start to see screenshots emerge on the interwebz in about 4 hours?
Maybe even sooner, it’s 8:53pm here in Australia. Just three hours to go.
Canada also released early, they still get it the 18th. And that doesn’t explain why South Africa get it the 23rd. So Europe getting it later just cause of stores releasing doesn’t add up.
It’s more likely the Rating System, PEGI, thast are the cause of the Issue.
*cries* By the time I start playing the game people will already have finished it
IDK if you guys have seen this Digital Spy preview ( http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/pokemon/review/a810712/pokemon-sun-and-moon-review/ )
but it offers up some weird tidbits. Claiming mainly that:
– Traditional HMs are gone, and the first one you get is Work Up. (?!)
– It refers to “The Seven Trials”…
Whether these are genuine revelations, or potential misunderstanding the mechanics because it’s a non-specialised news source… I just thought it interesting.
Seen it cope up several times, it’s clear that the writer isn’t actually interested in pokemon so they messed certain things up. The first point is supposed to mean “HMs are gone, but TMs are still around and Work Up is the first one obtained” and the second is probably the result of a miscommunication, (though it’s not impossible that there are only 7 trials).
Unlikely that there would be only 7 trials, if so, we know all the trial instigators (5 trial captains and 2 Kahunas). We know there’ll be 4 kahunas at the very least.
I’m pretty sure the Kahunas don’t have trials, only trial captains do. I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I got.
It depends what the trials are and how they’re classifying them, I think only 7 would certainly be possible, but it’s unlikely, hence why I think the article saying 7 is the result of a miscommunication. It could be 7 per island, it could be that someone told the reporter 7 out of nowhere and the reporter didn’t check their facts, there’s loads of reasons why it could have been misreported.
They do, it was mentioned when the Kahunas were revealed that the last trial on each island is called the Grand Trial and is a battle against the Kahuna
“The final trial on each island is called the grand trial. It is a Pokémon battle against the kahuna who leads that island. If a trial-goer succeeds in clearing this grand trial, he or she will be publicly recognized as having cleared all of the island’s trials and can move on to the next island.”-Sun and Moon official site :p
Haven’t found that before, but good to know.
I’ve heard tell that the demo for SM is 3.2 GB, which sounds like they may not have bothered to strip the data out. Let’s pray that most of that is zeroed out memory.
No, that’s the actual game. The demo is 400mb
Then bitbag has got it wrong.
http://www.thebitbag.com/pokemon-sun-moon-demo-release-time-file-size-expect/191743
They do. I’ve seen the source tweet from Serebii, he was comparing the file sizes of the download versions of the actual games.
Yeah, probably bitbag getting it wrong, idigitaltimes is convinced it’s 400MB. That’s still nearly 0.5GB so it could be the entirety of the Pokedex.
Guys, we know the day that we’ll receive the demo, but we don’t know the time. How are we going to know?
Staying up all night and waiting patiently 😀
Serebii mentions that Europe gets it late morning, I’d assume the same in each timezone.
Ah, I finally actually have an excuse to get up in the morning for a change.
Oh, thanks, for the info. That’s good for people from Europe, just like me.
Wait a moment does “late morning” mean 7 a.m.?
It’s intentionally ambiguous.
Noon is 12, morning is usually 6-12 but can be earlier depending on your definition.
I’d assume ‘late morning’ to be 9, 10 or 11. 7 is still early as far as I’m concerned.
aw i wont get to play until i get back from school ://////
Gotta love 4chan somedays, so full of crap:
Just finished playing the demo for my journal’s review
Heres the deal
>you are randomly assigned to be a boy or a girl every time you play
>the
demo takes place in a city called Loloa-Talekiai City. There’s a huge
tower but you can’t enter it. The music is a fantastic blend of
traditional Japanese and Hawaiian
>Team Skull has taken a coup on the town
>using
one of the starter middle evolutions at level 29 and an Alolan Pokemon
(I got Ninetales, someone I know on another site got Sandslash) you
fight a few Skull Grunts
>didnt see anything new. Would have said Alolan Muk but thats revealed already
>in front of the tower is Guzma. Kukui gives you Greninja to fight him.
>Guzma
has Ariados and the evolution of Salandit, Toximodo. I cant post
pictures for obvious reasons but best way I can describe it is it’s
HUGE, on all fours, and has lava veins all over its body, with a huge
purple sac on its back glowing and pulsating. Its Special Defense is
nasty, it took a few hits even with Ash-Greninja to take it down.
>after you beat Guzma you get to keep Greninja and you can explore the town.
>you can transfer all the money you have and a daily bonus Kukui gives you to Sun and Moon. I got 5 Poke Balls today.
>you are also given entrance to a route outside of the town, Route 11.
>there are randomly chosen trainers there that change every time you load the game
>You won’t be able to evolve those starters, there is no exp.
>i
saw 2 new Pokemon in the grass of Route 11. Alolan Drowzee which is
Ground type, Its covered in mud and looks to be asleep all the time like
Snorlax, and Lumungi, looks to be an evolution of Morelull which can
also be found. It looks like a mix between a weird tentacle monster and a
old samurai with a straw hat. Its still tiny but it glows.
>one of the trainers you can fight has Pikipek’s evolution, Pekipekka. Its just bigger and fiercer.
Thats all I got folks! Enjoy
“didn’t see anything new”
*proceeds to discuss new things seen*
Is this true?
I’d be very surprised if it was.
‘However, the Nintendo Download press release for Europe has just been released and within it, it has confirmed that the demo is to come in “late morning” in Europe.’
Oh, poop. I was so looking forward to tonight, sitting up until midnight and refreshing the eshop. *grumpy face* 🙁
Tomorrow morning? Damn yes! That means I might be able to download it before I head out to uni and can dive in when I get back home 😀
OMG Europe’s getting it tomorrow so lucky! I wish Canada could be considered European, not *gags* ‘North American’.
…?
Is getting the demo early (I don’t see how that’s early) worth getting the real game five days late?
….?
Pretty sure everyone’s getting it at some point to tomorrow 😡
Oh I thought everyone else got it the 19th.
I’m okay with most of this stuff. I’m alittle surprised they took out the sneaking up feature from ORAS. I figured they would’ve made a better version of it in S and M but oh well. I just liked it for the egg moves and 3 IVs
CONFIRMED: The demo includes Pikachu on your team, you’ll be able to use Pikachu’s Z-move and you get to battle Plumeria as well (Serebii)
Ugh, I want to use NEW pokemon.
Ehh Ash-Greninja is sort of new 😛
It’s to allow you to use Z-Moves, the big feature this Gen.
And I mean, it is the mascot.
Looks like they’re adamant in not showing Plumeria’s second Pokémon (we see she uses two, including Golbat, in what is most likely the first battle in the actual game), so hopefully it’s a sign GameFreak won’t be stupid enough to leave the irrelevant data in.
Also, the demo-Pikachu is level 40. So I’m assuming we’ll be playing midway through the game.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be at any point in the game, it can be a completely structured experience.
Has Japan already gotten the demo? Do we have pics?
It’s not even the eighteenth in Japan right now, not for another three hours :p
Although I feel it may be an international release seeing as Europe isn’t getting it at midnight.
u_U
With these Screenshots, there is Plumeria (correct me if I’m wrong pls) and that kinda gives more credibility points to that leak that Pharap copied from 4chan. I don’t know, just saying. (And im sorry about my english).
Link please?
How will ability bond affect Greninja? If it keeps protean and gets a 100 stat boost it can end up in the AG tier.
Battle Bond’s Ash-Greninja’s main ability now so goodbye Protean~
like anyone would even use Battle-Bond when Protean is clearly better
I hope that when it transfers Protean is taken off and replaced if it’s from ORAS or XY
Battle Bond replaces Protean. But my guess it’ll have a significant stat boost (attack and speed imo) to make up for that.
Yes!!!
I wonder if Ash-Greninja will have the same moveset as its anime counterpart? So Water Shuriken, Double Team, Cut and Aerial Ace?
I’m going back to the days when Exp. Share didn’t exist for my run through Moon. As awesome and convenient it is to gain experience for your entire group, the cost of convenience is too high. I think that’s why I didn’t enjoy X and Y because it was too easy to level. With it being too easy to level I didn’t stick around areas where I should have dedicated more of my time to. Plus Gym Leaders became a breeze. I remember the only challenge I had in X and Y was Mega Gardevoir during the League and even then it wasn’t all that difficult. Maybe I just want what BW had: The illustrious hard more. 😛
I wish it went back to being a held item and maybe post game you could get it upgraded to give your entire team Exp.
They’d be better off just moving it to post-game, they don’t need to turn it into the single-item-form now because we have lucky eggs for that (the sole reason I don’t mind Pelipper being horribly common).
I wish that they bring back the difficulty settings Gamefreak had implemented in B2 and W2, but let it be accessed earlier on in game. That way, players who want a hard challenge can be satisfied with what they put up. I too felt that way about X and Y. It was ok to me, however, the games were bland in the way for me to actually get a “run for my money” type of gameplay.
This is really late, but I feel like it should been Path to Sun & Moon, making it it’s own thing. That way we’d have Journey to X & Y, Road to Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, and Path to Sun & Moon.
i think maybe you should of mentioned on the last part where sun it’s gumshoos but in Moon it will be Alolan-Raticate since they are by day/night. that just screams exclusive pokemon to me.
So…looks like we’re in the dark on the Pokédex until the whole game comes out?
