No matter how much I saw that ….I will still like it.
Back when I was team rowlet I loved this gif
Once again your ability to draw yourself never ceases to amaze me Star
Is the girl in star’s avatar resembling real life star?
If it’s like her last several then yes it’s resembling her
Forgive me, Shakira fans, but I wish Gallade’s hips did lie. Lol
I know it looks like he got creative with a football
They should’ve done a gladiator skirt
Dam this video spoil everything about the episode but the subject is “there are people who still hate Luchalitten”. torch://player/1477189836455.webm
Demo spoilers for the guy who help sprained ankle girl… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1a4cc50b8dd0ad929b26c7b6145f744bff434d74cc6dd7d2777db445fc34d5a.jpg
That man certainly seems handy.
Demo spoilers…she’s didn’t even give me an item?she’s lucky I don’t sprain both her stupid ankles?
dude wtf?!? “I’m meeting him in- how many days was it? Oh yeah, 3!” looks like my demo decided to start counting down again. what the heck is going on?
Hey haven’t been here in a while but does anyone know if we’re getting more Pokemon or that was it on what leaked from the demo??
That’s the mil $ question…
My understanding is that there is a tiny chance there are new Pokemon in the national dex. Weve only seen the regional dex. However that hasn’t happened since D/P/Pt. So please don’t hold your breath only to be disappointed later, we have likely seen all the new Pokemon.
the livestream is in half an hour… is nobody looking forward to it? If i remember correctly, GameXplain had some info about the first 2 hours of the game that might indicate that we haven’t seen all… if that’s the case we might get some evidence today!
I need Pokemon Moon now or I’m gonna foam
loooooool I really want it too
I know a lot of us cant view the livestream direct but someone’s gotta be posting it on youtube, right? *hopeful face*
Live stream for what
There’s a Niconico livestream for Sun/Moon right now. You know the stream that revealed M Rayquaza for ORAS

(it actually works, I’m doing it right now! Theyre battling a Maukhita…)
it works
Guys serebii updated saying that after seeing a pokemon, rotomdex updates you on the percentage of completion of dex… shouldn’t that let us know the number of pokemon in full Alolan dex?
Depends. I haven’t watched the stream, but it would depend on if the percent rounds up and the number of pokemon they have caught so far, and if it is out of the alola dex or the melemele dex.
Rounding direction is indeed crucial.
If I knew some people in the homebrew community I’d ask them what direction IEEE floating points round to by default on the 3DS.
Then again, they might just be using integer arithmetic, in which case the result will always be floored because of the way integer division works on a computer.
spoke too soon, connection keeps dropping like every 2 mins
So the 5th day demo event was… uh yeah. Is there anything new besides that girl and her machamp?
The events are all pointless.
You break-a my heart. T.T lol
7 trials makes no sense. We know of 4 trials on Akala and 1 on MeleMele, so that would mean each island other than Akala only has 1 trial. Maybe they just thinned the trials out during the early part of the game and the story arc.
Actually, Sophocles was never pinned down so it’s possible he’s on Ulaula. And seeing how small and uninhabited Poni looks, it only having one trial isn’t surprising
Yeah, forgot about that, you’re right. My theory is that they’re cramming most of the trials inbetween the beginning and the story arc.
7 trails (not sure if this includes Totem Pokemon or not) and Kahuna battles.
Honestly I was expecting 15-20 trials in total, unless they are actually long trials that take a while to complete.
Kahuna battles are just glorified Gym battles. But I’m wondering if there is E4 equivalent.
Maybe the seven trials are split amongst the first three islands and the E4 Counterpart and the Champion are on Poni Island?
Maybe who knows could be anything.
I’m picturing the First Island as:
Trial 1 – Totem Gumshoos
Trial 2 – Collect something
Trial 3 – Take Pictures
Grand Trial – Kahuna battle.
Finish around lvl 20-22
But my honest hope is that it’s not linear.
And we have to remember that Team Skull, Aether Foundation and the UBS will be playing a big role as well
I dunno, Akala has at least three Captains and Ulaula is much bigger than Melemele, as well as the fact Totem Gumshoos is Level 12 whereas Hala’s Crabrawler is Level 15.
The grand trial takes place around level 16.
There is the “island challenge champion”. Hopefully we get some sort of E4 though, it’d be boring to just have the champion battle (if it was easy at least).
Considering you get a z crystal for each trial i really thought there would be one for each type or at least a combo of trials and kahunas to cover all types. Sucks a bit as we already know at least 6 of the 7 trial captains and 2..possibly 3 or even 4 of the kahunas 🙁
To be fair though, Trial Captains aren’t as important spoiler wise as their Totem Pokémon as those are the bosses of the trial whereas the Captains are pretty much just guides and stuff, and we only know three Totems out of seven (two out of eight counting Totem Ratticate).
While the datamine also showed which Pokemon have totems. 8 including Alolan Raticate/Gumshoos
I dunno, that would indicate Totem Mimikyu and Wishiwashi doesn’t have one after it so I’m iffy on that as Totem indicators.
Not necessarily because one confirmed totem didn’t have the same gaps as the others..
I recall it showed 6 (7 with raticate).
I suppose but they are still the gym leader equivalent this gen and normally we know about 4 out of 8 before release and no elite 4… unless the elite 4 and Champion are still a thing and we just dont know it yet then we know a lot more than normal without even looking at the datamine.
The “Island Trial Champion” is a thing, dunno about E4 yet.
Yeah. Its been thought that the “golf character” mentioned in the demo may be that.
Kahili, yeah.
“The Kalos region is nice and all, but you should really check out my region! Our Champion is really something else, I tell you… Ah, never mind. You’ll find out in due time.”
Yeah, that and somebody who played the first two hours (GameXplain maybe?) said that an “Island Challenge Champion” was mentioned.
We are either missing 1 trial captain or 1 kahuna.
So is the stream over or is it still going on? Becuase I quickly went on and before my Internet died I saw no gameplay :s
Hoping for it to be posted on YouTube later.
Wait. Popplio has sing, so….
So what you’re saying is there is still hope for a clown seal? ;P
http://youtu.be/rRhmogBs-gU
Ironically, it’s quite the opposite, seeing as Sing seems to hint at it being way more specialised as a siren :p
Well, Pagliacci was the very first thing I thought about when the starters were announced. I had hopes for it being based on this opera. Sad times. Lol
It’s based on a Japanese ‘Idol’ more than it is a siren.
The ‘Pop’ in ‘Popplio’ refers to pop music.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_idol
I feel more like the idol idea stemmed from mermaids and sirens, seeing as seal to idol is a huge leap whereas siren and mermaid have common strands with both of them.
Not to mention that Popplio3’s design is very invocative of mermaids.
Sirens aren’t actually aquatic or seal like though, they’re avian humanoids, they had bird wings and/or bird legs/talons.
Sirens and mermaids are very different creatures, I don’t know why people get them mixed up.
As if there was ever any doubt Lance would win.
Another dev interview:
– They wanted S/M to be new and fresh because of the 20th anniversary.
– Reconfirms that Mega Evolution is post-game.
– Ride Pokemon replaced HMs, because they felt more natural.
– Time was changed to encourage trading.
– You could buy clothes with money instead of Festival Coins.
– There will be a lot to do during your quest before and after becoming the Island Challenge Champion.
– Designing Pokemon takes up a lot of time.
money like in-game or like real money
It’ll be in game money, I doubt Pokémon would do transactions :p
Lol how does time encourage trading?
The post game thing excites me, we’ve heard this before so they must be really confident about it. (BATTLE FRONTIER!!)
The “designing Pokemon takes a lot of time” thing seems like a lighter way to say there won’t be a lot of new Pokemon.
