  1. I can say this
    Pretty sure Zubat does not get access to EARLY leech life. I fought a level 8 one and it used the moves astonish and supersonic

  2. My three biggest annoyances of Sun and Moon
    1. The UB theme….. This theme could have had a WORLD of potential… NOPE
    2. Why must Tapu Koko have such a trash moveset in physical terms?
    3. Alolan forms

    • What is it? I have some guesses of my own, but without seeing the whole story and still waiting for the game, I’m still not sure.

      • In the Jirachi Movie, Jirachi was seen sleeping in a cocoon made of crystal. Crystals seem to be very …… synonymous with holding something in. What is interesting is that when Necrozma is studied, it has a crystal like texture toward it and has a prismatic energy that leaks in certain areas. Also, Black is a color in which light is absorbed and not released. These ideas together give me an idea that Necrozma is the third legendary and is based on a light spectrum of sorts. Lunala and Solgaleo can open rifts to the UB world, but in my opinion, I feel as if Necro would control them. Also it shares a battle theme with the two mascots. I see this Necrozma as it’s concealed form to be released in the next game. And a final bit of proof? The original codename for sun and moon was “Pokemon Rainbow”
        And representing a Prism, what does that mean 😉
        I also have a bit more to say soon

        Reply
        • You didn’t do the tag properly 😛

          Necrozma appears to be based on a rough diamond.
          Diamonds can act like a prism, can be seemingly black in colour, can refract light etc etc

          I agree it’s probably linked to them somehow. I also think it’s related to the Z Crystals.

          Another possibility, I think it might be linked to Baily’s Beads:
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baily%27s_beads
          An effect present during total solar eclipses.

          • Huh… that also makes a lot of sense…
            I also think it is part of the way that the two multiverses known so far (RSE and ORAS ones) Are connected

          • I detest the multiverse thing. There was nothing stopping it all being one universe until they broke things in ORAS.

          • I like and dislike
            … Though one thing proves its connection
            necro is researched by the Salon Maiden Anabel, who fell out of a portal (Likely from the other world) and just so happens to be researching Necro. Also she has the emerald theme, not the oras one

          • Tbh I like it, we’ve had Pokémon that can manipulate space and time on a whim (Hoopa, Palkia, Celebi, Dialga) and we knew other dimensions existed (Dialga’s and Palkia’s domains, the Distortion World). Multiverses and alternate time lines were simply an obvious step to take (and they’d already been established in Gen V)

          • It’s one thing having other closely related pocket dimensions ruled by Pokemon, it’s another having split timelines and alternate realities and dimensions ruled by non-human non-Pokemon creatures.

          • Having Pokémon that can manipulate time and space makes it the only logical progression from there though, as time travel and interdimensional travel will lead to split time lines and alternate dimensions

            Also, it’s been set up since BW(2)

            Also if that last bit is referring to Ultra Beasts, they are Pokémon, just from another dimension. It’s why they can have abilities, types and moves.

  3. another day and still no shiny ponyta or mine jr. gnight peeps. wish me luck tomorrow. also I seen we commented so much that post was taken down lmao

  4. Story spoilers BTW

    Like Annabel, Looker appears to be a ‘Faller’ too. His appearance in ORAS is near identical to what Annabel’s was stated to be like: loss of memory, thrown into some weird new place.

    What is also worth noting is that if we have characters that don’t seem to be ‘Fallers’ who existed in the old world (Cynthia, Red and Blue, Colress, pretty much everyone from ORAS), we potentially have two Lookers and two Annabels running about the Mega Timeline. Which brings up the question. Is the Looker from X/Y the one from the Old Timeline, or the Mega Timeline?

  5. Huge News regarding megas.

    In sun moon the turn order is now decided AFTER mega evolving. So now pokemon like M.Beedril and M.Lopunny get the speed boost the moment they mega evolve as opposed to the next turn.

    This is huge, since now Beedril and diancie don’t have to waste a moveslot and a turn using protect. Sableye can’t abuse prankster since it will lose it the moment it mega evolves. Banette will get prankster the moment it mega evolves.

    Reply
    • Wait. You mean AFTER mega evolution? If the order was decided before mega evolution, how could Mega Beedrill outspeed like anything moderately fast? Just asking for clarification.

      Reply
      • In gen 6, turn orders were decided before mega evolving. Beedril has bad speed and defences, so you were forced to run protect.
        The speed boost and abilities like prankster took effect after the turn which you had mega evolved.
        In gen 7,the abilities and speed boost take effect as soon as you click mega evolve

        Reply
    • Mega Beedrill and Banette buffs? Mega Sableye nerf?

      Literally couldn’t care if this was the worst Gen ever I’m so happy right now

  6. So Triage gives Draining Kiss +3 Priority

    Hope Comfey has fun with that 50BP healing priority move along with Synthesis and Calm Mind

    Real fun won’t begin until it gets Giga Drain through move tutors though

    Reply
        • Grass and Fairy resisted by Steel, Poison and Fire.
          Grass will hit Water, Ground and Rock harder I guess.

          If only it got a Ground Type move. Fairy/Ground Coverage is amazing.

          Reply
          • I’m really excited for a Ground/Fairy Pokémon tbh, I’m expecting it to be some sort of ancient dirt giant animated by magic or something

            Or a pink Fairy Armadillo

            But if it gets the chance to set up, Calm Mind/HP Ground/Giga Drain/Draining Kiss (with priority on the last two) Comfey could be good

    • Wait Calm Mind shouldn’t be boosted with Triage
      And I don’t know if that even applies to Draining Kiss
      Doesn’t matter this thing is slow as it is frail
      Like a Klefki without the passable defense

      Reply
      • Calm Mind isn’t prioritised, but absorbing and healing moves (Giga Drain, Draining Kiss, Aromatherapy, Synthesis) are.

        It has a 51/90/110 stat spread, which while not exactly bulky, isn’t exactly frail either.

        And its speed is 100, it’s quite fast, especially for a one stage non-mega. But once it’s done calm Minding it won’t care because it’ll have +3 priority Draining Kiss and Synthesis

  7. Can anyone link me please to someone who has the game early and is either recording their progress on Youtube or doing text updates in a thread? I have a specific question about the early game I want answered, and the 4chan guy didn’t mention it. Thanks!

    Reply
          • How far are you into the game and have you unlocked that street Plaza mode thing that we do know that you can use to boost ev?

          • At the third island.
            The Festival Plaza is unlocked as soon as you get the pokedex.
            I haven’t used it, or poke pelago much though

      • I have trainer customization questions.

        1) I know you can buy clothes with Pokédollars, but the trailers showed Festival Coins being used. In regards to trainer customization, what are FC used for?
        2) What are the color choices for hair and eye lenses?
        3) Also, in what other ways can we customize our trainers? I’ve read there’s an NPC that can help you change the style in which you throw out a Pokéball. Anything else besides there things?

        Reply
        • I can at least answer that first one in part. One feature in the game is that you can dye your clothes in exchange for Festival Coins, and that has been what the trailers have been showing off.

          Reply
        • 1)FC is used to dye clothes.
          2) for hair (male)
          -Black
          -Dark brown
          -Ash Brown
          -Caramel Brown
          -Honey Blond
          -Platinum Brown
          -Pink Brown
          Haven’t come across an option to change my eye colour,even though you get the lens case pretty early
          3)Customization options are
          -Hair Colour
          -eye colour
          -skin colour
          -the usual clothing options
          -hair accessories
          -an option of other accessories. So far, glasses are the only thing available in that section

          Reply
          • Hmm… I’m guessing that Platinum Brown is what makes your hair look white and Pink Brown is what makes it look magenta. Weird that they have brown in their name. A bit dissapointed that Game Freak didn’t add more hair colors like blue, green, red, etc.. Thanks for answering my questions.

  8. I got my NES Classic! Pretty fun console and it’s awfully cute. From now on, there’s a big instream of games I’ve been waiting a lifetime on. Can’t wait for SM, been keeping off from footage and story spoilers to be able to fully enjoy everything.

  9. Big news peeple
    There are two types of Bottle caps: regular and Gold Bottle Caps.
    Regular Bottle Caps boost a single stat to its 31 IV equivalent while Gold boost all stats.
    Bottle Caps do not change IVs, they merely boost stats, so your Pokemon’s Hidden Power type will reflect its original IVs if (i.e if your Pokemon’s IVs are 0/0/0/0/0/0 it will still have Hidden Power Fighting after raising its stats with Bottle Caps).

    If you breed using a Pokemon whose stats have been altered with Bottle Caps it will still pass its original IVs not 31 IVs. Your Pokemon must be Level 100 to undergo Hyper Training… WHAT THE FUCK THAT MEANS DITTO BREEDING IS BACK TO FUCKING HACKERS

    Reply
    • Do they affect how the IVs are working? I mean is there a difference between 6IV born Pokemon and 0IV Pokemon altered by Hyper Training to 6IV in terms of in-battle effect?

      So Hyper training is a modification that cannot be inherited, Hyper training is not a mutation?

      Reply
      • Basically, a 0 IV Pokemon boosted with Hyper training will have the same stats as a 31IV Pokemon.

        The hidden power and the stats passed down via breeding will remain the same even if you boost it by Hyper training

        Reply
    • Hyper training is good just for legends. It’s really much easier to breed a pokemon with a 6ivs ditto over and over then bringing that pokemon to lv 100.

      Reply
        • So basically, from what I read in the comments in your post, either you hack a perfect Ditto-or you go to the Battle Tree 24/7 every time you want to breed a certain Pokémon. Welp! Time to get my climbing gear, because I got to move up on this tree.

          Reply
        • Well, it’s good that there is a discount for gold. You can make perfect Pokemon in price of 4 IV Pokemon.

          We can still use a hybrid method. Actually breeding 4 IV is not that time consuming when you have right parents (In XY & ORAS finding good IVd Pokemon was easy, those can be transferred from there unless it is hard to find good IVd Pokemon in SM). Then you can use 1 regular bottle to make it 5IV since usually one stat is redunant unless you want to have mixed Pokemon.

          Reply
    • I’m confused, so the stats go up as if it were at 31 but doesn’t actually change it to that, correct? This really messes up my plans orz

  11. The way hyper training makes sense, there’s no altering of the Pokemon’s genetics, but they just reach their full potential.

    And it is cool, so basically we only need to worry about nature and hidden power type (and 0/1 speed for trick room mons) when catching/breeding.

    Reply
  12. Speaking of Hyper Training. Has anyone said anything about the rarity of the bottle caps used for Hyper Training? I imagine they wouldn’t be too common, but are there a finite amount in which once we use them they are gone or do they just come slowly and we can have as many as we want?
