Do you guys think a Samurott would make a good male counterpart to Fantasea the Popplio3?
Fantasea is brilliant! I’ve been calling it Sirenade, Siren+Serenade.
Its a Mariah Carey reference too.
I’ve been calling it Marmeid. (Mar + Mermaid)

One Punch Man?
I don’t know if it’s a reference, I just found it and thought it looked cool.

I figured this out on my own, you cant be holding the run button or it wont work. also, if you try to walk and repeatedly tap the run button, they will trip over themselves.
They’ve also changed it so that when you run into something you hit it once and stop. In the past you just kept running into it. :p
yay! knew it would be phy or sp based on atk!

That’s strong criticism for usa government.
someone with the demo want to check something for me?
Sure
What upo
I need someone to check with the npc that sprained her ankle, and see how many days until her savior returns.
For me it’s 2 days
do you have the Japanese version?
Nope American
5 days from the first day you play.
For me she’ll unlock on Sunday because I downloaded on Tuesday.
see, that’s what I thought. but for some reason, even though I downloaded it Tuesday, she’s been saying 4 days both yesterday and today.
You go on the same time both days? Maybe the date hasn’t rolled over for some reason. Did you change any settings?
no the only thing ive done with my 3ds in awhile is turn on the demo.
Other than checking again tomorrow idk what to suggest. Mine has counted down just fine.
I will check when the date rolls over tonight. I will let you all know. its odd, I mean, if it goes 3 days late for some reason it will still be completed before the full games come out but its just kinda inconvenient.
Might be to do with the time you started the demo, or because you haven’t been checking in everyday.
I dunno about everyone else but I check in every day to check the days are rolling over.
its weird, I got my feathers from the guy outside the pokemon center. I have been checking her every day, too. and the police officer, and the lady with boat phobia, and birthdaychu, and just incase, the coffee shop employee.
You got your feathers on Wednesday?
yes.
And the others have been counting down?
nope. no one has. I just looked.
Leave it for a few days and if it doesn’t change, I’m thinking either it’s a bug in the software, something happened to the clock to change the date/time (which upsets normal date processing for a day or two) or something related to the internal clock. If you’ve got any other games that do time-based events (like Pokemon Shuffle or the Badge Academy) check those are working. If they are working too, it’s more likely to be a bug in the demo, in which case you will probably want to report it to Nintendo somehow or redownload the Demo.
I’m totally calling it: her savior is a Machamp. It’s strong, and come on, those things are everywhere. I recall at least four.
I’m thinking its a mysterious old man. don’t follow him.
I know he’s a creep…
I think it’s UB02A, just to upset us all.
Have it on right now
are all ash greninja hardy?
Mine is.
*has just exited demo*
Now you ask 😛
Hardy and alert to sounds
yep and male, so that means you can’t breed them for Battle Bond
Gonna hack the hell out of it!
Ditto and Males can pass abilities.
Ohhhhhhhhh.. YAY! =]
Might still be unable to for whatever reason though.
There’s probably an explicitly coded exception.
Seems likely, we won’t find out until Ditto is available I guess, or someone hacks it in.
Meanwhile Priscilla has tried for over a month to get ditto in ORAS and instead it chooses to give me the three variations of the same spot three days in a row.
Can you trade for one? Try the GTS, there’s usually a bunch on there.
idk what that is
Global Trade System, on the Yellow screen. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/a/a2/PSS_menu_2.jpg/300px-PSS_menu_2.jpg
That requires giving away pokemon, are you insane.
Don’t you trade at all?
Um i traded with myself back when heart gold came out. I wanted all the starters bred in both diamond and hg
Don’t you like sending any Pokémon you caught away or something?
Well generally speaking I only just learnt how to egg move breed. I have never iv trained or ev trained i tried once in x for a vaporeon with hordes it still got ev in something else than defense and it kept giving me the wrong hordes. Its too hard for me to do.
Do you know about the EV reducing berries? And about Maximum EV’s you can have in a stat? If you want I can catch you a Ditto.
I use blue berries to raise my feebas farm into milotics?
If you feed a Pokémon an EV reducing berry like a Kelpsy berry you lower that EV by 10, unless it has less than that in which case they are removed completely. Here’s a wiki for all the berries: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Berry#List_of_Berries
I am confused.
By which part?
What does an ev do again? and what is an iv?
These probably explain better than I can: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Effort_values
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Individual_values
So i just want to increase those all?
It depends on what stat you need to be increased. You can have a Maximum of 510 EV’s on a single Pokémon. In generation 6 onwards stats can have a maximum of 252 EV’s before they can’t go up any more. You really should read those pages I linked, everything you need to know should be there 🙂
IVs are like DNA, every Pokemon has 1 IV per stat, and each IV ranges from 0 to 31 (31 is considered ‘perfect’). IVs can be inherited by breeding (by default 3 random IVs from either parent are passed down, but if one parent is holding a Destiny Knot, it’s 5 random IVs).
EVs are stat boosts on top of IVs, which can be trained by battling Pokemon, doing Super Training and using certain items. Every 4 EV points gives a Pokemon a boost in a particular stat. They’re a bit more complicated to train because there’s lots of different items, but they’re not set in stone like IVs are, you can always raise or lower them.
I wonder however, if it will be in the Undiscovered egg group due to it’s uniqueness.
what if it only breeds it’s normal abilities instead.. trollfreak ;P
Possibly treated like a Legendary (Except Manaphy) yeah.
I was more thinking because Cosplay Pikachu couldn’t be bred but yes
That too, forgot about that tbh.
I don’t need my pkmn has a bond with ash.
You not going to transfer yours from the Demo then?
Has anyone timed the gate shortcuts? Is it quicker to follow the main road or to use the gates west of the maladada shop?
Gates, especially if you’re on tauros and avoid the grass.
Not that I’ve actually timed it.
Rip Shelby, the only one with common sense on that short
ik.. we need more characters like her who change their mind and help u
and their skin tone and hair colour …. (its a joke don’t come for me :P)
Shelly: Yo, if you use the orb on kyogre, we going to die
Archie:

Sorry, but my perfectionism is interfering here: It’s Shelly
omg i was confusing her with the AHS character
Archie to Shelby
http://i.imgur.com/2PZ8XUR.gif
Not sure whether I’m proud of it, but that guy’s British.
I have a problem where I can’t do multiple playthroughs because I get attached to my pokemon and don’t want to delete them so I just buy multiple copies of the game.
i am an idiot sandwich.
I’ve never replayed, I always keep mine as it was when I first played it, even when I didn’t catch the legendary in my first game ever.
THIS GIF IS TOO PERFECT

here have a fat squirtle lol
So cuuute!
It needs sunglasses. 😛
I miss fat ketchup pikachu
Chubby turtle chaser
Yes.
i only support half of this
I’m guessing the half that isn’t a turtle?
i like em big
Big big turtles
maybe in the form of a plus sized Torterra Gijinka
Not female or plus sized, but I really like Gijinka like this

So if Ash’s Pika is an event Pokémon, I hope the hats are random. That increases the surprise.
I actually measured the time it took to use the gates west of the maladada shop versus taking the main road around. Conclusion: when riding Tauros, it is approx. 1 second faster to simply go all the way around, but when you’re running, it’s approx. 1.5 seconds faster to use the gates.
You timed it? Why? I hope Tauros ride is better than Bike for egg hatching.
I’d wondered because the gates seemed take longer, and if the gates weren’t a shortcut, then what was their purpose other than aesthetics? Timing it was just my way of partially answering my own questions.
I hope that we can ride Rapidash and that it will be used primarily for egg hatching with it being constantly aflame and all.
Finally got it uploaded in higher detail:
http://pre00.deviantart.net/2fe4/th/pre/i/2016/295/2/f/glados___in_pencil_by_pharap-dalvt61.png
Is that a blowdryer?
; n ;
I’m not sure what I’m more upset by, the fact you haven’t heard of Portal or the fact GLaDOS has just been compared to a hairdryer…
I hope they bring both Portal games to the Switch.
Let’s just put every game on the Switch
watch this…please
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTVxM-uAuKs
@ithsme:disqus you here?
Yeah?
What’s the situation with the league?
Oh, did something happen on the forums? I’ll go check there.
No I just dont know what’s going on with it
Oh, we’re doing a tournament for type choice order. Hold on a sec.
http://challonge.com/PJLTCT
You play the first match, and then the loser of the opposite match if you lose, and do the same if you lose a third time. (So everyone gets three matches, hope that made sense).
Oh okay! I’ll start doing battles tomorrow
Great! ^.^
So what Pokemon do you want to ride/think we’ll be able to ride, and what will be their functions? I’ve theorized a bit on the land-based Pokemon and come up with,
(Confirmed) Mudsdale – traversing rough terrain
Tauros – Acro Bike equivalent, faster than running, but still pretty slow
Zebstrika – Mach Bike equivalent, faster, yet harder to control
Rapidash – relatively fast, primarily used for hatching eggs more quickly due to the warmth
What we know for definate:
Lapras – Water
Sharpedo – Water and Block Breaking
Stoutland – Land
Mudsdale – Land and Rough Terrain
Tauros – Land and Block Breaking
Charizard – Sky
Speculation:
Mamoswine – Snow
Wailord – Underwater
Don’t get me started on how much it bothered me that Mamoswine was so tiny in XY. If it’s not proportional, don’t even bother.
So far, Pokemon in S/M seem to hold their proportions well. If they reused Mamoswine, I expect it to be somewhat large.
It’s the same height as Lapras btw (8’02”).
Charizard is 5’07”
Sharpedo is 5’11”
Tauros is 4’07”
Stoutland is 3’11”
Might change Wailord to Wailmer, might be more realistic.
So you think Dive will return? I’ll be a bit bummed if it doesn’t. It was really nice in ORAS
I don’t think it will play a massive role, but it would serve to lock off some areas or items. Plus a sunken ship would be pretty cool since it would be something that wouldn’t show up on the map art.
Joltik
Joltik…. 0’04” tall…
I think you mean Galvantula? XP
No, that was the joke. xD
Damn, Galvantula would have been cool (if it weren’t so small)
I remember I made a list a long time ago when it was confirmed. Can’t say I remember too much of what was on it…A lot of it is blown to shit now that soar won’t be returning, which is bullshit.
We fly on Cutiefly
I would like to ride a bouffalant but I know we won’t be able to
Yeah, Boufalant is just as good as Tauros.
Would you guys prefer an enhanced HD port of S/M to the Nintendo Switch or a remake of D/P? Also, I’m surprised that nobody is talking about how amazing Breath of the Wild looks on the Switch compared to the Wii U! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/da488956754aee094fa48ef5c8435c994212eac078f99c74d61b84b200324592.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6fadf8cc9753923d2e5af487ab3531e337e2f677cfc985a7f15a02dd88e81b05.png
I’m not ready to move systems yet. I need a sufficient source of income before I’m ready for that, so I’d rather have remakes on the 3DS.
I understand where your coming from. I’m going to keep my New 3DS XL and buy a Switch. I just wanted to see how people felt about it. I want the next Pokemon Games to be on the Switch though. It would seriously push units (after Monster Hunter 5).
If Breath of the Wild hadn’t been destined for WiiU that would have been enough to push units on its own 😛
Breath of the Wild is the main reason I’m getting a Switch.
I would rather have a Colusseum/XD styled game because we haven’t had one since just before Gen 4.
Interesting. I’m not a huge fan of Shadow Pokemon, but having that feature with some tweaks would be better. I think the concept should be revisited by another dev while GameFreak works on the next game.
I don’t necissarily mean bringing back Shadow Pokemon, but certainly a sort of side story game with all the same mechanics but catching. Colusseum and XD always felt more story driven to me, even more than later games. Or at least more immersive.
What I liked most was Team Cipher because their admins all had very unique clothing, teams and personalities. They felt like real people/trainers instead of the usual tactic of wearing a variation of a team uniform and a variation of the villanous team’s signature pokemon.
Plus it was interesting in Colusseum how the main character was a former member of a villanous gang, and in XD how you started with an Evevee and picked what it evolved into – effectively having 5 possible starters instead of just 3.
I loved those games so munched, I’m sad I never finished them for whatever reason ????
It is Breath(of the wild) taking
Remake by far. If there was a port they would withhold features from the 3DS version.
To answer the question, I want remakes of DP
Also I’m not expecting Pokemon to switch to the switch until 2018 TBH.
Same. I think we are going to hear about a new game in 2017, but it will be officially revealed in 2018. I hope Nintendo fills that void with first and third-party games!
I’m expecting a game next hear on the 3ds still, whatever that may be.
if you watch game explains analysis of the mario game that was shown in the commercial for the switch you can see that the sky and everything are all like crazy detailed and like things almost look photo realistic its insane, the graphics on this thing are so good
I’m hyped. the Nintendo switch looks great. in my honest opinion, the best thing about it is how Unextraordinary it is. 3rd party developers wont have to develop with the consoles gimmick in mind, the console will do the “take wherever” aspect on its own.
honestly that sounds like a shot on the system as well as a praise 😛 but yes you’re correct, I’m pumped for skyrim, I was going to get it for my PS4 but now I’m waiting
same. people are throwing a fit because bethesda said “we cant confirm anything at this time” but its not anything to worry about, however, the bad pr its making still isn’t good for the switch. I wish people would calm the f*ck down and wait for more details instead of raging.
wait why would that matter? We saw it straight up on the system so its probably a launch title, they are probably just keeping things hush because they don’t want to impact the sales of the ones coming out on the PS4 and Xbox one soon. But people are dumb so they probably don’t get that
that’s what I said, too! nobody realizes this, its nice to see someone else look at it logically!
Yeah well I mean, if they confirmed anything then the other companies would probs see this as a way of deflecting sales from them too and be pissed so bethesda is basically walking a thin line with the companies. But like Switch hype!!! lol
So I just got Volcanion, and I’m kinda confused. I thought there would be a special event in Juane plaza in Lumiose, where there are two people taking about a “lava dome Pokemon” and “mimicking Pokemon cries”. It seemed odd so I thought if I brought Volcanion something would happen, but nothing did. Do I need to do something to trigger the event?
Talk to one of the people in the Press building. I don’t know about those in Jaune.
I’ll try that!
Nope, there isn’t one.
Volcanion recieved, nothing more.
Welcome to GF’s modern attempt at Pokemon events
; n ;
I miss the days where rather than a delivery lady handing you A POKEMON WHOSE POWER IS SPOKEN OF IN LEGEND, they gave you an item to initiate a quest, those were fun. Hopefully they do those in SM.
Yeah.
I’ll never forget Birth Island!
; n ;
The lady in the press has been looking for Volcanion for 15 years, and the delivery lady just handed it to some 10 year old kid.
Yup. Should have at least had something like:
– Delivery lady hands package from a professor
– Package contains special artefact
– Lady in press office tells you of a location said to be linked to the artefact
– Take artefact to location
– Summon Volcanion
– Battle it
– Capture it
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY VOLCANION COULDN’T HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN ONE OF THE OTHER POWER PLANTS
Steam plant FTW
Rescue it from Team Flare who have chained it down and forced it to provide power
Exactly. So simple. Maybe even have Malva in there cause it’s a fire type. Boom.
Malva being cruel to a legendary would be a bit awkward. I always took her to be a sleeping partner (if you’ll pardon the pun).
Well she doesn’t necessarily have to play a cruel role. Maybe she could tell you what team Flare is planning so that you’ll rescue it. I can’t exactly remember how involved she was with them.
I’m not sure, I can’t actually find a quote that proves it other than her mentioning the player destroyed Team Flare.
D/P/Pt did event pokemon the best. So basically Gen 4 is the pinnacle of pokemon in most ways. Gen 5 did this well too for the most part.
Only one of those I actually got to visit the place for was Darkrai I think.
Either there wasn’t a Shaymin event near me or I missed one, or it was Platinum only or something.
Azure flute was never released.
Manaphy never had an event location either, you had to play ranger to get it.
Yeah, but Ranger had a quest for it before you could transfer.
I’ve still got the chocolate Pokeball that came with the download code in its original box!
Is it…edible?
No idea…
It used to be…
If it hasn’t melted it’s probably worth a fair bit to the right person 😛
The Lumiose cab just cost me roughly 80% of my money, I’m so poor in game right now. xD
Walk you lazy sod 😛
I printed out a map of Lumiose that I used until I was comfortable navigating the city without it. I’ve never used a cab.
Lumiose was nice until you’re entering a million buildings trying to find one location if you don’t have a map. I prefer Castelia as far as large cities go.
I actually liked Lumiose lol.
My goodness this episode was so so good! although I enjoy the others I honestly think this was the best episode by far. I loved it definitely my favorite episode too bad it went by way too fast didn’t even notice the time until I saw Kyogre’s sharp dental work in the end xD
I wonder if this mask really represent new pkmn or not. *spoiler*

http://orig03.deviantart.net/e901/f/2016/295/9/0/1_key_items_by_marcospsychic-daltfed.png
It is quite the curious thing isn’t? It doesn’t seem to resemble anything we have. Plus I’d like to know what it’d be used for. Seems like a very strange item to me. lol
InB4 they replaced contests with some hideous wrestling minigame ; n ;
Why wrestling? Is this Twilight Princess?
They like wrestling for some reason.
Machamp, Hawlucha, Tony.
Don’t forget, there were those two Machamp ‘sumo wrestling’ in the demo to stop you going back through the trial cave.
A dark pokemon game? 😀 I’d play it.
If remember the chinese leak …the conceptual art show that Litten 3 have wrestling With Machap and Pikachu…… and with some useless humanz cuz they deserve that.
Yeah I do agree that it looks like a luchador mask lol
Yeah, I mentioned that a while ago as potential evidence.
Ok so I’ve been thinking now that all the data mining info has settled. We’ve now been shown that the starters only have 1 form for their evolutions and it’s unlikely that’ll change. So now we’re stuck with the question of what their “secret” is again? If it’s not actually shared with Rockruff then what it said secret? Data mining doesn’t seem to have shed any info on it.
Maybe it’s a storyline secret? Like they share a secret that is behind the story?
For example, Lockstin thinks their secret is the Type: Null is made from the starters and Rockruff.
It could be that or something else, I was more or less trying to provide an example.
That’s possible. Otherwise I can see anything else being thrown at us. Sure the demo data mine likely ins’t entirely the complete picture of what’s to come, but I’d be willing to bet we’d have see whatever it is that is special about them in the info mined out. That said the hackers can’t seem to find Ash Greninja so that could mean that there’s a super secret folder somewhere in there that has some extra stuff. I suppose we won’t fully know until it’s revealed tho lol
I’m guessing it’s either going to be something story related, something mundane, or personalised Z moves (i.e. being the only Alola Pokemon with personalised Z moves, so far the only ones we know are from Kanto)
BTW I have actually been saying this for a long time. I never believed the split evolution theory.
I can’t believe ANYONE actually thought that starter split evolutions were a viable possibility. Especially when you look at things from a marketing standpoint
I think Mimikkyu has a special Z move tho. I’m pretty sure they showed it in the little Mimikkyu song they released.
Possible, but we haven’t heard anything yet.
If not it’s going to be something really mundane or stupid.
Hey all, just noticed something in the S/M demo, not sure if this particular concept has been noted yet. So if you head to the Pokémon Centre and speak to Kukui, he’s supposed to help you transfer Greninja and the items you receive in the demo to the full game once it’s available. Obviously this isn’t possible yet since the game isn’t out yet, but if you select the prompt to transfer Greninja, an interesting detail is revealed. Kukui will verify that you would like to transfer Greninja to the full version, then a Warning dialog follows, which says “Warning! This Pokémon will not listen to what you tell it until you have completed two grand trials in Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon.”
Have I just been sleeping on the concept of “grand trials”? Or is this the name of a more overarching concept regarding the trials that hasn’t been revealed or detailed officially yet? It seems to serve the same effect as needing a certain number of gym badges in order to be able to command traded Pokémon of particular levels. Discuss!
Grand Trials are what Kahunas set you compared to Trial Captain’s regular Trials
Right, yes thank you! Totally forgot about that detail.
Hmm, I didn’t know that.
*Clears Throat* Shelly is bae. That is all.
With that voice you can keep her 😛
huh. I fell asleep mid “Paper Mario: Color Splash” and I just woke up lol.
“I’m meeting him in- how many days was it? Oh yeah, 4!”
-_-;
Maybe start from scratch if it’s not changing anything? Delete it and redownload. Maybe that’d help.
its weird, I’ve met Lillie today (yesterday its like 10 after midnight here), right on cue. this is so confusing
I think maybe some of the vents like Lillie are based on actual days and what not while the others are based on the number of days after you play. For whatever reason that’s giving you problems it might just be best to start fresh. Think about it this way. You get to play that sweet Totem trial again lol
that is true. i’ll start again, I think it may still be finished before the relase of the full games.
Yeah I think you’ll be fine. I wanna say from the release of the demo the last event happens just under a week away from the release of the actual games. So you have a few days for the margin of error to still make the deadline lol
If you restart now you’ll be done before Europe gets SM at least 😛
