  1. Level 22 (almost 23), with 111 Pokémon in the Dex! Thanks to this event I finally got a Marowak 😀 Now I need to do some walking with my cp1000 Machoke!

    • Level 13 best are
      Tauros, Jolteon, and Tauros

      I have never owned or been in a gym and everytime I’ve found a gym that’s empty I put a Pokémon in and it says error cause some D*ck steals it with 1300 some Snorlax that I can’t compete with

  4. I think I may actually play more this week due to this event. I still need Marowak and Gengar and having some extra Pokemon around that aren’t typically around should be good. also the extra candies you get from everything will be super helpful.

  8. I really hope they continue to do events like this on a bi-monthly/quarterly basis or something (although the candy bonuses make sense for Halloween, idk how they’d spin the bonuses for other holidays)!

    Although I open the app everyday along my long walk home to hatch eggs and catch any Pokémon that may pop up, I haven’t actually gotten out of my way to go out and play the game until last night when the event went live. These candy bonuses are doing wonder for the game and for me. I’m hella determined to complete the ‘dex, so hopefully I can get out and get 100 candies for all the starters before the event ends so I can finally fully evolve them. ?

  10. um.. so there’s an advertisement for the z-ring accessory the works with sun and moon. “get the bundle that comes with all 12 z crystals”
    you mean 18 (not counting specific pokemon ones) right?

  11. It was so fun running around last night on a Haunter hunt with my friends! We caught so many cubone, meowth, and drowzee along the way too! <|:‘)

    Reply

      • It gets you the candies needed to evolve them. Also from a gym battling standpoint you can check their strengths and get some with good moves! It gets you experience too so for the people with lower levels it helps boost them up!

  12. So I’m doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show based team in X, and so you guys think I should use Machamp or Rhyperior for Rocky? For Machamp, it fits because both are ripped af and wear speedos, but for Rhyperior it avoids type overlap with my Pancham, Eddie, and references ‘rock hard abs’ and the name of the character, Rocky.

  13. I stopped playing because my phone can’t handle the app but my mom is completely hooked on the game. Lol Just last night she was all proud about finally getting a Raichu

  15. Has anyone noticed that Gen.2 of Go won’t change much especially cause if you look Rattata and Pidgey are still more common than Sentret and Hoothoot in GS so if based on games they will just be more to beat the Pokedex than to revitalize the whole thing

    Reply

      • In relation to area of discovering a Pokémon or time yes it’s very similar as in that for example

        Rattata live in cities and forests/Grassy areas in both Go and in the games they live there

        And for time
        Jigglypuff’s normally are active at night and luck would have it only found at night

  28. I just realized: this gen is a great time to be a bug fan. We have great ones such as Vikavolt, Ribombee, Wimpod evo, and potentially diving bell spider.

    Reply

  30. Am I the only really happy with how Grass was treated this Gen? It’s always felt like the black sheep of the starter types but this Gen it’s gotten so much variety and numbers!

    Reply

      • Rowlet (1-3)
        Bounsweet (4-6)
        Fomantis (7-8)
        Alolan Exeggutor (9)
        EDIT: Morelull (10-11)

        Which isn’t too bad considering that Fairy and Normal, which have the most Pokémon, only introduced Pokémon in the early to mid teens.

        Also,

        Rowlet3-Badass
        Tsareena-Elegant
        Lurantis-Both TBH
        Morelull2-Satanic
        Exeggutor-Memey

        So a lot of variation too

        Reply

        • Morelull and Its evolution too.

          Yeh I guess it’s a bit better than last Gen. Granted I preferred the designs of Trevanant and Gourgeist way more than Tsareena and Lurantis.

          Reply

          • I think it’s just me being a sucker for more elegant designs but holy cow Trevanant and Gourgeist are probably amongst my favourite designs tbh

    • Not I
      I can’t believe not one single Tiki Pokemon
      I really wanted a Grass/Fire Fetish Tiki Pokemon

      (legal clarification fet·ish

    • I am, but I despise the imbalance. Certain types (flying, normal, fairy, dragon, grass) got treated very well this gen, and certain types (steel, ice, dark) were left behind. Especially since they said in an interview that they wanted to balance the new pokemon, it seems very odd.

      Reply

      • Inb4 they take the number up to 151 and they’re all part Fairy but with the other types being raised in number as a compromise

        watch the world burn

        • I feel that that’s less ‘running out of ideas’ and more ‘oh crap there’s nearly 1000 of these things better release them slower to get each one more attention’.

  31. When is the news coming?
    I can’t wait to see it because even if there’s nothing we haven’t already learned of from the data mine, at least we’ll get some names. I really want to know the sea urchin’s name.

    Reply

  35. This is a long question, but how would you guys rate the eighteen types in terms of ‘how much you like it?’. Keep in mind someone’s bottom type doesn’t necessarily one they find bad or shouldn’t exist, just that they like other stuff better.

    Mine goes:

    1) Fairy
    2) Flying
    2) Grass
    4) Ghost
    5) Poison
    6) Fire
    7) Electric
    7) Bug
    7) Dark
    10) Normal
    11) Rock
    11) Steel
    13) Ice
    14) Water
    15) Fighting
    16) Ground
    17) Psychic
    18) Dragon

    Some of these seem a lot lower then they really are because I have so many ties, and tbh I don’t really dislike any types because of Dragon and that’s mostly because of how Obnoxious some fans are (other people who’s types got nerfed by Fairy tend to have valid points, most Dragon fans just seem offended they got taken down a peg although thankfully nobody here is like that)

  41. Actually, it would be cool if Post Game the Trial Captains Battled you, and Hau becomes one, so 8, and they form a League, with the Kahunas as the E4, but with more powerful teams than in the main game.

    Reply

  43. If anyone has seen the battle intros video, what are those 4 type themed intros near the first half (like one has wings for flying)? They aren’t kahunas, the kahunas are the swirly vortex things in the second half (we’ve seen from the trailers).

    Reply

    • So they are redoing the intros like in ORAS I loved how they were also personality specific. Like Phoebe having colorful flower petals blowing by ie: my favorite of them all. I thought it was really cool and gave it a little extra touch to the games

      Reply

        • I save them all. Actually I am beginning to think the Pokemon world has an overpopulation problem. If you can find a fully grown flying plant dinosaur every three steps. I mean I think they are having some problems xC

          Reply

    • Oh no! People got the same pokemon they would have obtained with hours of tedious, unskilled work in a much shorter amount of time! What cheaters!!! Who knew arriving at the same goal by a much more effective means was so horrible?

      I really hate this guy

      Reply

        • Ehh not to get technical because I hate it when hacked pokemon are used against non consenting opponents but the skill in Pokémon is from the battling, not the endless Grinding for a perfect Pokémon

          Also Verlis feels the need to call out having multiple shinies and things with perfect IVs (as in: 0 in attack if it’s weak to Foul Play, etc) and ignores the fact they are in fact possible with effort, something verlis seems unfamiliar with.

          Reply

      • this! honestly i dont have a problem with hacking. Someone can hack the best team but if they dont have the skills, they are not going nowhere

        Reply

        • GF puts in time and effort to make it easier and easier for people to get legit competitive Pokemon, yet people are still too lazy to play the game the way it was intended to be played.

          I don’t like to use language, but this pisses me off.

          Reply

          • TBF though how much of that video is Verlis claiming people are cheating just because they could’ve put in effort that he can’t fathom as a clickbaiting not self aware ‘Charge Beam Furfrou is viable’ attention seeker?

          • I’m just saying that you shouldn’t trust Verlis to state who’s cheating and such, and since he’s the main window into the apparent scum and villainy of the bloody Pokémon community it’s a window warped with bias and envy

            The guy waving a middle finger was disgusting tho

          • here is my two cents: While I can see your point, people could use that time to sharpen their battling skills. Getting a perfect competitve legendary is not easy like you say. It takes a long time. I still stand which what I said before. Is not the pokemon that matters, is the skills.

          • To be fair it was only for the last year of that Generation and you have to use them for something rather than sitting in the box and looking pretty

          • I think it is stupid. The only people I respect in any type of competition of any sorts is the ones who takes something nonviable or the underdog and turns it into a victory.

          • Think about it: what has GF done for new players to the meta game in the last two gens? We have ability capsule, visible and easily trainable EVs, and now we can even raise IVs. It’s like giving a test and then when people cheat lowering the difficulty so you don’t have to, and yet people STILL cheat.

          • In Gen 7? I don’t recall seeing that 1/31 values anywhere in the current games. Hmm, maybe I’m blinder than I thought I was. Lol

          • but all those things will not make the player a better competitve battler. Good for GF they are finally doing that, but in a meta where legendaries are still the main force, people will still cheat

          • It’s more the IV’s that are the problem. I think there might be a decrease in hackers this generation because you can now raise them with relative ease.

          • I’m sorry but you’re obviously not a competing player because all of that stuff still takes ages to do. They just took it down from ‘well competitive Pokémon has to be my life to get anything valid out of it’ down to ‘well at least I can pin down a job/homework but guess where the rest of my free time is going’.

            People don’t want to waste their life on something that takes hours that they might dump in minutes after finding out the set doesn’t work?

            Is hacking acceptable? No. It’s unfair.

            Is hacking understandable: Hells yes, entry into competitive Pokémon is hard af

          • I am a competitive player, I have been for years. Don’t go around assuming things, mmkay? It USED TO BE hard, it’s getting easier and easier with every generation. People who think it’s okay used to be understandable, but now it’s just plain lazy.

          • I think any person who does compete higher up competitively has no valid argument of how time consuming it is. They are already using time better spent at a job and stuff to compete. I don’t see the difference.

          • I am saying if you are going to waste your time on a video game you might as well spend the extra time to do things legitimately and the honorable way. Cheaters don’t deserve to be seen as winners or whatever. In the end of the day its just a game. No offense to anyone. I just don’t see how people say its waste of time when most people nowadays already view video games as a waste of time.

          • I don’t mind losing or winning as long as I am having fun. I don’t have fun cheating in games I wouldn’t feel accomplishment. I don’t use legendaries Honestly legendaries are more something I just buy plushies ofx3

          • Oh please, don’t make it out like you haven’t made assumptions on the Internet darling. Everyone does it, and it’s an honest mistake.

            Regardless, people don’t have the time for all the Grinding and actually want to play the game, not everyone has the luxury of time and patience for it. And yes, whilst it isn’t acceptable (honestly, showdown exists for a reason), not understanding why people still hack is honestly surprising coming from a supposed competitive player because one such as you should be aware of how much time and effort goes into just to even be able to play in the first place, compared to games such as Overwatch, where such boring busy work isn’t necessary to get into the scene. There, everyone immediately has equal access to the same chartacters, and that’s probably why it has a way more respectable competitive scene despite being 20 years younger than Pokémon.

          • They keep dumbing it down and making it easier. In the end it’s up to you, I personally don’t feel accomplished if I hack, but eh, whatever. To each their own.

          • The only thing I hack is shinyness, and not change anything else. Though I never use them, and just give them out as prizes. It feels the only one that’s ok to me, Shiny doesn’t effect anything

          • It doesn’t matter how dumbed down it is, they should have to dumb it down in the first place with the amount of RNG luck involved in getting a competitively sound Pokémon, which is why Pokémon has such a frankly terrible in comparison competitive community compared to literally everywhere else

          • All competitive gaming communities are literally the worst people of society with a few exceptions. I have played several competitive games and the people I meet are atrocious it comes with the territory. I don’t blame it on the competitive works for this game specifically.

          • Out of curiosity, how long does one full Pokemon take for you? As in IVs, EVs, egg moves, tutor moves, evolved, holding its item and everything. It takes me maybe and hour and a half, which isn’t too long IMO.

    • Tbh though if it was anyone but Verlis I’d probably actually care but the fact the guy’s so salty over not being the ‘pro-Pokemon player’ as well as the fact that I feel for a fact he’d be guilty of pretty much the same stuff if he actually got to Worlds (the man cried and blamed a break up on Smogon for flip’s sake) just makes me feel like he’s a deranged loon doing his best to get attention.

      Like yeah competitive Pokémon has serious problems but they should tackled fairly and unbiased rather than some envious, click baity bampot like

      Also every time he calls someone pretentious I have to stifle a laugh

    Reply

  63. So I’m working on compiling a very detailed list of all the reasons that the leaks aren’t complete, I’ll post it when I finish eventually. I’m thinking to save time, I’ll adress the most common counter arguments so I don’t have a bunch of people telling me those. xD

    Reply

  67. Alright, this isn’t complete, I don’t have counter arguments and I feel like I’m missing a reason (can’t remember what it is right now), but here it is. These are some of the reasons why I think know the dex isn’t complete.
    (my hands hurt so bad right now from typing this somebody help me lol)
    —————————
    1. Ash-Greninja is nowhere to be found in the datamine, meaning it’s stored somewhere else. Before you say “these are pokedex stills, of course it isn’t there”, Mimikyu and Wishwashi’s form changes are in there, so it makes no logical sense to not include Greninja’s form change.
    2. The 6 (counting the two after Mimikyu as one because of form changes) missing models cannot be totems. Firstly, these are pokedex stills, and if totems are just pokemon with an orange aura with no real unique features, they would not have a pokedex still. Secondly, we know there are 7 trial captains, and there are only 6 totems here (again counting the two after Mimikyu as one), so even in the highly unlikely event that they are totems, there are STILL missing models here.
    3. This list does not include a pokemon that resembles the strange souvenir, nor does it include a pokemon that resembles the statues on Mahalo trail. It is not any of the Tapu pokemon, as when their shells are put together they don’t resemble any of them at all. And the strange souvenir is the perfect candidate to be from Alola, as it is “a pokemon venerated as a protector in a region far from Kalos”.
    4. The datamine does not include any stills for Charizard (who we’ve seen in trailers and is a pokeride pokemon) or Horsea (who we’ve also seen in trailers and is on an alolan statue).
    5. GameXplain claims they found MULTIPLE new pokemon in the first two hours of the game, and the leaked pokemon don’t look early game, as most are evolutions and the rest look late game. Remember, this is only the first TWO HOURS, so to find more than 1 new pokemon demonstrates how this can’t be complete. UPD: After this was written, the MeleMele dex was discovered. There are no new pokemon that aren’t evolutions other than the anenome thing, which is late in the dex, implying it isn’t found until late MeleMele. This furthers the point, as there is not more than one unannounced pokemon on this list which would be under embargo by GF.
    6. Marshadow is in the mythical pokemon section, which would mean that Solgaleo and Lunala are lacking a third legendary to the trio.
    7. This is one is very loose, and more of just a thought I had. Remember the Chinese leaks that said we would get a “dolphin and a snowman”? Well, people seem to think it’s the Tapu and the Crabrawler evolution, but it’s very confusing. When I see those pokemon, I would never call them a dolphin or a yeti, I would call them an ice crab and an island guardian dolphin. The leaker was very specific on so many things (rugby monkey, to name one) so it seems odd that he was so ambiguous here.
    8. The types, stats, abilities, and names are all missing from the datamine. This one is another very loose connection, but it makes little sense to scrub literally EVERYTHING except for the pokedex stills.
    9. Before I make this point, I want to make it clear that the chinese leaker has gotten literally everything right, they haven’t been wrong even once. Well, the chinese leaker said that there was a cat pokemon that could change it’s type based on it’s parent pokemon that passed down a type. You could argue that it’s Silvally, but it hardly looks like a cat, likely can’t breed, and changes its type by holding an item, so Silvally is very far off from this supposed cat pokemon.
    10. There is a very large type imbalance in the pokedex, I’m sure everyone here can agree on that. Well, I recall that in a recent-ish interview with game freak, they said that they were taking extra time in the development of new pokemon to make sure that the types were balanced, so either they were lying, or this isn’t all we have, because this dex certainly isn’t balance, it’s not even close.
    11. Watch this video until you get to the part where it says “pop up images”: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ArNdThqpWMw Look at the image in the second row, second from the left (the helmet looking thing). People say that it’s the pokeride helmet, but if you do a quick comparison, you’ll find it doesn’t match up at all. So, that being said, we have no idea what this is, or what pokemon it is modeled after. In the pokemon world, everything from pastries to watering cans are designed after pokemon, so it’d make little sense to model this helmet-looking item after something that isn’t a pokemon.
    ——————
    Also I wrote part of this a few days ago, so if some stuff doesn’t match up, or I repeated some stuff, my bad. xD

    Hopefully tomorrow delivers, I’m counting on you.

    • your theory could literally be backed up more if freaking Gamexplain would tell us more. Is really not that hard to say if the pokedex is completed or not

      Reply

        • yeah that why im bitter at them. Is literally just a yes or no answer. Heck they may be vague and say maybe. I dont think pokemon would sue them

          Reply

          • Well you don’t know if they would, and Gamexplain’s whole shebang kind of hinges on nintendo so it’d be very unwise to take any risks. Look at it this way: if they say no new pokémon, they’re the ones confirming that GF is letting us down again, and potentially hurting game sales. If they say new pokémon, that can’t concievably be bad for them, but wouldn’t it be a nicer surprise for us if the new pokémon were discovered in a trailer, or in the game?? And if they say maybe, they’re just being dicks whatever the truth is (I’m definitely hinging on nothing new, come on guys we have 7 trial captains, they’ve clearly not changed since XY…).

          • You make a good point on Gamexplain I’ve hear a lot of bitching that they should just give us something but like you said they do more stuff on Nintendo and why jeopardize what they have with them

    • I’m hoping a lot that you’re right I know ppl keep telling me I’m getting my hopes up but even with XY I didn’t get my hopes up for a lot of Pokemon but with Sun and Moon I just have a feeling we won’t be disappointed!!!

      Reply

    • I hope to Arceus you’re right. I desperately want there to be more Pokemon. But I’m content with what we have, so I won’t be disappointed if this is in fact all we get, but I’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover something new.

      Reply

    • 1) Legitimate point.
      2) Totem Pokemon are not just Pokemon with an orange aura. They are also bigger versions of their normal counterparts. One possible reason why Wishiwashi might not have a Totem form is because it is already so big.
      3) I still maintain that the Red Tapu is the strange souvenir. The strange souvenir can easily represent early concept of the Pokemon, and I would really like to see in-game movement of the Red Tapu. Those hands can line up nicely with what we thought were nostrils on the souvenir.
      4) Legitimate points.
      5) Multiple new Pokemon that GameXplain could have found include: Pikipek’s evolution, Alolan Grimer, and Alolan Diglett.
      6) It’s possible Marshadow actually is a mythical Pokemon. It wouldn’t be the first time the mascot legendaries don’t have a trio master. Ho-Oh and Lugia do not have won, which if this were to be the case, would make yet another coincidental parallel to Gen 2. However, I think that Zygarde is both the trio master of Yveltal/Xerneas and Solgaleo/Lunala. Complete Zygarde’s chest further supports this theory.
      7) Snowman/Yeti can easily be tossed up to a mistranslation, however I do agree about the Dolphin. It’s a bit of a stretch.
      8) Yes, GameFreak clearly removed stuff from the demo, so it is odd that they left this in.
      9) I can see both sides. I can totally see the Silvally argument, and I can see how we haven’t gotten the cat Pokemon that was described.
      10) I can’t consider type imbalance a point. Look no further than the Kalos dex. And Alola forms count.
      11) No idea.

    • Denial, denial everywhere…all of your points can be easly debunked but there are too many and I’m tired. You choise to be disappointed, so do what you want. P.s. Greninja itself is not in the regional pokedex. Please people, stop using it as first point.

    • I can see counterarguments to each of these points with more or less strength to them, but I need to go to bed so Imma let someone else with more time on their hands do it. Besides, you seem pretty convinced as you’re reusing arguments that people have already countered to a satisfactory extent. Fair enough, you’ve see the evidence and you’ve made your mind up. I’m just concerned you’re just setting yourself up for pain :/ .

      I’d absolutely love for there to be more, for us to be blown away and thrown into massive hype by tomorrow’s video, and for you to be able to say “I told you so” but based on GF’s behaviour in the past I have no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt, so I’m flat out expecting the worst. It’s better than clinging to straws being pulled and getting punched in the gut when it turns out there’s nothing else.

    • While it’s possible that many of your points are just wishful thinking I think there are some oddities in all this that make sense for there to be more Pokemon. I would say the harder selling points are Ash Greninja, the helmet, and the two Pokemon from the Chinese leak. The Chinese leak and the helmet being the most convincing. After getting so many things right it seem odd that two out of the bunch of Pokemon they accurately described would be nonexistent or shown as something that’d need explaining. The mushroom, rugby monkey, and sea cucumber all turned out to be real and with no weird stretch or explanation needed. As soon as you saw them you knew that they were what the descriptions were of. They didn’t leave much to the imagination. So why would the dolphin and snowman suddenly need to be something that people would have to reason with? Seems odd to me. There’s also the helmet which looks nothing like any Pokemon we currently have. Yes it’s similar to the Poke ride helmet, but at the very least that’s clearly a Hawlucha helmet and is easily identifiable. The mystery helmet is harder to nail down. Plus other than the colors it looks nothing like the Poke Ride helmet. It all seems very strange and make you wonder if they really do have some hidden Pokemon/concepts left for us to discover.

    • 3 doesn’t mean anything – there’s no guarantee there is a pokemon shaped like the souvenir, it could be like the Palkia-Dialga fusion statue in gen 4 – it’s an image of a concept/fusion rather than a real pokemon

      4 also doesn’t mean anything – Charizard and Horsea are not present in the regional dex, neither is Slurpuff

      6 doesn’t mean anything – check gen 4’s pokedex, giratina and arceus are several steps away from Dialga & Palkia

      7 isn’t very strong – the snow crab is in fact based on a yeti, its claws are used to make yeti-shaped footprints in the snow and the island guardian could be mistaken for a dolphin, the guy mistook a lemur for a monkey after all

      9 It’s definately Silvally, people here have been claiming Silvally looks like a cat way before anyone remembered that. That same leak also claimed Butterfree, Growlithe, Abra and Duduo would be getting Alolan forms and there would be an Ice/Ghost snowman

      10 Wouldn’t be the first time this happened. For a start they’re probably actually counting alolan Pokemon, unlike most people here. Secondly they could simply be lying, and thirdly we don’t actually know all the typings yet, for all we know the spiky sea creature could be part ice

      11 As I’ve said before, this make could easily just be a funky pattern unrelated to Pokemon. Asside from the watering cans, most other items usually aren’t based on pokemon. Devon scope, contest clothing, bikes, item finder – none of these things have pokemon designs. “everything” is far too broad, it’s only very specific items that are designed to look like pokemon

    • And plus I’m pretty sure there’s more Pokemon because lots of Pokemon seem impossible to believe to have no egos so I doubt they revealed/found ALL of them.

      • no, I called out the splatoon players who think its funny to troll people who want to enjoy themselves. my post included the word “Damn” which I guess counts as bullying, according to Nintendo. I’m hoping the message sank in before it was erased.

        • Haha ok, I understand. You mean squid parties?

          I can’t find a pic of mine, but mine was a post in the pre-release day of Smash which featured a psycho villager.

          • no, I mean, on multiple occasions, I’ve been against and on a team where one player thinks its ok to taunt his teammates with squidbagging and booyah’s while standing at spawn. it happened today to me…. In ranked, of all modes.

          • That’s still trying to start a squid party…

            At least you’re only stuck with them for 3 minutes, being in a League/DOTA/Storm game with a troll costs 20-45 minutes. 🙂

          • but the thing is, clearly each time the team isn’t in the mood (squidparties should result in an instant ban anyways, but unfortunately there’s no way to detect them) so why drag them down?

          • That’s the internet for us. Thanks to the magic of anonymity, some people just get off on the misery of others…

            It is what makes invisibility the ultimate superpower… all of the power with none of the responsibility heh heh heh.

          • whats worse is private battles exist, go do it there lol. I’m the kind of guy who enjoys preforming well over winning, but I feel like the biggest dbag ever when my team has one extra member, and when we are at the disadvantage, 3 on 4 isnt easy, assuming you are up against competent players. but, as you said, people can get away with being jerks so long as know one knows who they are.

          • I made a stamp portrait in super Mario 3d world where peach decapitated toad, and he was gushing blood. it was hilarious, and got over 30 likes, but it wasn’t moderated.

  73. I’m trying to stay hopeful for some ice types to be secretly in the coding or soemething. Hopefully the video tomorrow releases a never before leaked pokemon so the hype can go off the rails. It doesn’t even have to be an ice type tomorrow- just anything to stir this up!

    Although, honestly learning typings and names for the leaked ones will be fun!

    • I’m mostly curious about the anchor pokemon. I have my fingers crossed for either:
      Rock/Ghost
      Steel/Poison
      Rock/Poison

      edited to include spoiler tags.
