UNOVAAAAAAAAAA. At last.
I was hoping that thered be Sun/Moon episodes. But as each region has 3, and theres only 18 episodes, that means it will end after Gen 6, cause this, episode 14 and 15 will be Gen 5, with 16,17 and 18 being Kalos.
Still, yeay Unova, was hoping for Victini backstory. But I assume the next 2 will be B2/W2.
im hoping somebody can help me pick a nickname for litten?
Flicker
Inferno
Lighter
Flare
Kittywhiskers
Steve
Fiery
Nightfire
Klaus
JOHN CENA!
Boxed
Daddy (it’ll be funny when it evolves, promise)
Hans
Heatigre
Fuzz
Snowball II
Heel
What name did you chose?
Damn that’s was incredible. Loved it.
For some reason to me Drayden sounds a little like Optimus Prime
ELESA
IKR 😀
PLEASE MAKE THE NEXT EPISODE HILDA CONFRONTING N AND BATTLING WITH THE DRAGONS
inb4 its Hilbert 🙁
I want Hilbert. But dammit I need Rosa.
oh Rosa is the best
Seriously though. I love watching the B2W2 animated trailer just for her.
Well her and to hear Hughe say, “I’m about to unleash my rage!” lmaoo
Hilda so much better
What if they included Hilbert AND Hilda
ill go nuts
The whole point of this series is to show viewpoints and events that we as the protagonists technically didn’t get to see. Most we’ll get is a cameo of them, tbh. :p
But I feel you, Hilbert is my fav male protagonist ?
I forgot how awesome Unova’s gym leaders were.
Probably the best
By far
What?? They freaking suck. Most of them had really odd ball and really non threatening Pokemon and then I think all of them only had teams of three. Like what is that even about? No sense of challenge or fear at all. I was utterly bored by these gym leaders
Hello??? Elesa’s Elmolga duo was hardcore!
Meh, they’re comparable to Trump before politics. OK but at least they’re not evil.
I always pronounced Druddigon “Drewd” not “Drud”. interesting.
Surprising to hear someone pronounces it Drewd tbh
Yea. I think the spelling is self-explanatory. I think I just thought Drewd sounded cooler haha
Finally a Gen 5 generations episode!!! I´ve waiting for that since september.
And this episode is amazing
Drayden is truly the realest
O.k…..full mast
Also I still haven’t caught a single Pokemon yet
I’m so close to a Crabrawler I can taste it
Just a heads up
Crabrawler isn’t found in the grass.
Sometimes you’ll see berries on the ground. Press A near the berries and sometimes crabrawler will attack
I will find one and make it my very first capture (but has to be Male with iron fist)
AHHH? why can’t they be longer!!!! I was really getting into this episode!
BEARTIC IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok if Hugh does appear next episode or the one after, IF HE ISN’T VOICED BY SEAN SCHEMMEL I WILL UNLEASH MY RAGE
Clay in HD and 1080p. Brb going to touch myself
Way ahead of ya
But but Clay isn’t female
And?
I didn’t know he was into guys lol. He always talks about buff and fluffy women xD
Anybody else thinks it’s weird that the gym leaders were leading the charge at the end and not their pokemon?
it totally ended in a giant collision
I think that was purposefully done to show that trainers aren’t just using Pokémon as weapons but as equals. They’re willing to get their hands dirty too.
Like when Brycen became 10x cooler by totally wrecking those Plasma grunts
Right? I got pretty excited when he did that. It’s not just his aesthetic. He’ll kick yo ass
I’ve been training a own tempo mudbray…. i’m so dumb and i cant go back now.
What’s a good nature for Rowlet?
Adamant, this is because it has higher Attack, and a majority of its move pool is Physical
;_; why did they have to make Crabrawler such a tedious endeavor
And now I have a Torracat before my first capture
Thirteen episodes in and still waiting for N smh
N died because of unrelated diseases.
-Prays for Volcarona episode-
Am I the only one who always wondered how team plasma built that castle underground though?
I was thinking that too!
Same way Bowser did in the original Paper Mario.
Hahaha
For everyone in Minnesota drive safely I’m stuck in target please drive safely hope I don’t get in an accident
whats going on in minnesota?
Blizzard
I live in Grand Rapids and it’s zero visibility
Ooohhh, that sucks
It’s bad
I just got the games!!!
Anyone who wants a Rockruff, they can be found in the wild on the first island, after getting Tauros. Go to the area east of the professors hut, and you’ll find him :3
Side note: What’s everyone’s party looking like?
Mines:
Brionne lvl 19
Trumbeak lvl 17
Rokruff lvl 12
Oricorio lvl 14 (boxing him tho)
Roggenrola lvl 10 (also boxing)
Just Torracat
I am desperate to make Crabrawler my first capture
I haven’t found any yet 🙁 I wanted one too, but alas, I’ll have to wait and see if I find him on the 2nd island.
Earthen, dude, I’m sure by now you could have gotten through half the game with how long you’ve tried. Maybe it’s time to move on
=_= plan B
Find a Rockruff
Plan C, catch everything you see for wonder trade fodder
Haven’t started yet… At work until 5 pm then I gotta drive home, so it wont be until like 6 pm when I can start playing.
My current party:
.
OH MY GOD… BLOODY FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!! BEST EPISODE YET!!!!
Elesa and her voice <3
I can’t wait to be face-to-face with this guy! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/29327c88f09236699c6694f2f71644401ea778ef3dfb46b4e1150be3fa6075a0.png
Ughhhh I usually against hyper leveling but I am tired of Torracat’s giant ass always jutting out
Okay but why did they go with iris over Hilda for the anime. She was annoying as hell. At least this iris was better
I know. I’m getting kinda tired of not seeing protagonists. I think they have to do an episode with Hilda vs N though. One of the best moments in the series
The unova protagonists are really cool so it’d be a missed opportunity if they leave them out
Iris is pretty awesome though. Screw Best Wishes representation of her.
Yeah she’s cool in the games but anime her is god awful. Worst companion
Haha I’ve only seen like two clips and it already annoyed me. So sad that my favorite region has the worst anime.
I know! And alder sucked ass in the anime too. They didn’t even show off his volcarona ;-;
Cilan grated on me far more.
Yeah unova was just a mess
Is anyone at the point in the game where they can catch breed Mimikyu? Because if you are, would you be willing to trade a female Mimikyu egg for a starter Pokemon? It would be really appreciated!!
IRIS, ELESA AND CLAY. IAFAFKAFCKJNKLSDNFCKDSNFCKNFKNFCKLNLK MY BODY CANT HANDLE SO MUCH HEAT
I can’t wait to be face-to-face with this guy! Best UB!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/07241f1a01ca6ee80186c85aa23aa7cb7150653071d82b4ae0da1de1ba838ec0.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f081ee866a64e49079da6dbc01855aa24b4ee1e1fd37a722c07a0ab73b20d3f.gif
Beauty is better tho
No
Yes though
No though… Guzzlord is the BEAST of all BEASTS!
That one’s my least favorite 😛 it ain’t beautiful
Beauty or Guzzlord?
No I love guzzlord. Beauty is my least favorite
Oh okay, good! Yes, Guzzlord is the King…
Origami Sword is my favourite.
You mean Kartana?
I didn’t know it’s name, but sure.
Yeah, that’s it’s name. It’s Attack stat is sooo broken. It’s defenses are shit though
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141
I also really like absorption. It’s freaky but sick
You mean Buzzwole? And Beauty’s name is Pheromosa
Yeah, I haven’t gotten used to the names yet
If anyone wants to add friend codes mine are

Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071
Let me know what yours is and your name so I can add you!
(Insert Denzel Crocker FAIRIES!! Meme here)
Four bloody hours
And I still haven’t caught anything
Sounds like it’ll take me forever to get a crabrawler too
It’s just because its RNG on RNG to get one =/
There’s only two freaking berry trees and once you pick em they’re gone
I’ve found a few more on the 2nd island, as well as Mudbray 😀
;_; I feel so incomplete without a Crabrawler or Rockruff
I hear ya =/ You could always go get your Rockruff, if you’ve gotten your tauros
Searching now
It’s already gonna take me forever to reset for a female Rowlet so that’s great
Still?! That’s broken. Mind you, I’ve been checking every berry tree I can find, and haven’t seen one yet.
Crabrawler was very common for me though.
And Rockruff is easily found in ten carat hill.
I’ve never seen a Crabrawler and all these Rockruff are Female
I never under stood why people care for genders so much.
Difference between male and female Pokémon is mostly just an icon next to their names,that’s it.
I care when it comes to naming them
Nicknaming is hard when you don’t have an idea on what you want
That’s true. If I don’t know what I want, typically gender doesn’t matter
Brycen should have been a dual Ice and Fighting gym leader
How does one get a Crabrawler anyway?
Apparently via a special berry tree. It doesn’t appear in the grass
Looting from Berry trees
A berry tree will have berries on the ground you can pick up, which regenerates periodically. Sometimes a Crabrawler is inside the berry pile.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh all these Rockruffs are girls I want a male
Just chain them until a male pops up. That’s what I did, took like 4 allies until it happened.
I don’t even have AOs yet
This is my first worst start in a long time….
You dont need the orbs lol. Get them into the red, and then just wait. They call fairly often.
Sounds like my first time playing white. I reset for female snivy for three hours before giving up completely
It’s just draining my excitement with clogged upset….
Wow 3 hours?
Literally. I was so mad.
That’s some bad luck there, I got one the first time I restarted the game after beating it.
Lucky! Dx I wanted to name it Nagini, but ended up going with Salazar, which was cool enough.
If you kept hunting you would have probably found a shiny with that weird luck
True…and shiny snivy is pretty nice
Trade a gastly for one. 🙂
How early do you get wishiwashi?
I’m on the 2nd island and I haven’t seen one yet =/
Aw man. You probably need the rod
You’ll encounter it when you start the second trial
Okay, thank you
At least today at work is going by rather quickly… The past week has been rough and dragged on… I say that now and watch it start going really slow… Knock on wood…
T_T I finally found a male Rockruff and it has no benefiting nature
Docile…..RNGesus hates me
none of the mudbray for me had stamina till after i trained one to level 20 so i gave up :/
Nature’s aren’t too important in play through. I imagine you’ll train a different one for competitive anyway
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh I guess you’re right…..
Least it’s vital spirit so it becomes Sand Rush
Look at it this way, you have a balanced nature. You can do whatever you want with its EVs without risk basically
That’s stupid really really stupid I need bigger numbars
It’s your ‘Mon, you do what you want.
I got a naughty Litten… Its going to have the worst Sp Def. XD
So it’s going to be completely wrecked if hit by a water type move.
Basically. Lol
Here are my friend codes for you to add me!
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141
I can honestly say, this game is going to be hell to Nuzlocke…It’s actually one of the first games I’ve found moderately challenging at times. Good job Nintendo!! 😀
This episode is everything. YES!
Only one…more…class
Only 20 more minutes for me!
An hour and 20 minutes for me >.>
Ohhh… Sorry Star that sucks
Undisclosed amount of time left for me…damn mail
Wow, great episode, great animation, epic feel… This completely nailed the “climax unto cliffhanger” feeling of a tv show episode!
Really makes you wish this wasn’t just a series of shorts… Oh well, at least they’re amazing.
Wondering what we’re gonna get next, we know we’re due Ghetsis, Kyurem and N, and I wonder if that means we’ll get more BW or rather some BW2. Really the ultimate thing would be to see what happened to the Gropius family between the games!
Possibly expecting a looker appearance too. And probaly something unexpected, they always throw somewhat-curveballs at us
Hi I’m trying to practice my listening. Can you help me with some sentences?
Encounter between N, Ghetsis, and hero for next one, from N’s perspective. Last one will be Looker searching for the 6 sages, and he finds Ryoku trying to catch Volcarona! D:<
It’s going to be hard to pull off showing a shaded hero for a full-on confrontation, and it would force them to choose Hilda or Hilbert so I’m not so sure about that, but I definitely expect some Ghetsis and N interaction. Looker and the sages sounds like a safe bet, though as we already saw volcarona in Ep1: The Journey, I don’t think your dreams can come true on this one sadly …
I know… 🙁
I imagine one of them will be Looker and the sages.
People looking for the ‘right’ natures and genders. Lol. What? Who even does that? It’s just a damn play though.
Genders are important to nicknames! Plus female starters just make things way easier in the future
But they don’t affect ganeplay. And trading is so easy. And males can breed with Dittos.
And other reasons why I don’t think they important…
Well people are gonna play their own way, everyone’s different of course. 🙂 It’s what makes it fun!
Of course they are. I just find it strange, and I honestly didnt think this many people cared
They probably don’t but we do here for sure :>
Okay, but some genders are important like female salandit. I just want a female rowlet to pay homage to Hedwig
I SR for female so I can breed immediately once I reach the daycare instead of waiting for dittos which are later game.
I always consider breeding a post game thing. Regardless of how early it’s available. I don’t find the need for it during the story. But fair enough
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141
ADD ME!
So if the daycare doesn’t level them up anymore, what’s their rate of charge?

So finally gave in and evolved an Eevee into Sylveon to get Salandit and first SOS is female 😀 Only took HOURS!!!
I want a Grubbin so bad <3 10% rarity is a mess lol
Why are all these new pokemon so rare
Right! It makes no sense haha! But honestly it makes it more rewarding once I catch one!
Yeah, but it’s still kinda annoying lol
Couldn’t care less. I will walk the grass for hours to get my Grubbin
The wait for these games is killing meeee
I gave up and traded a Gastly for a Grubbin on GTS.

Looks like you haven’t added me but I need a bit of FC space, so I guess I’m gonna be deleting it soon.
I haven’t gotten there yet
I must’ve chained 6 Mudbray and the only one with Stamina is Female why is life so cruel
Is it hard to get one with stamina?? I plan on having one as well…
Wow sexist much
The first two episodes of Sun and Moon are now available with English subtitles. For those who haven’t watched them yet.
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141
So what’s everyone current team and position in the game?
Mines is:
Route 8 – 4 Z Crystals
Brionne – Lvl: 28
Charjabug – Lvl: 26
Saladit – Lvl: 22
I haven’t started yet, mine was just delivered to my house and I’m at work for a few more hours…
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141
I’m still oh Route 2 catching pokemon. Im loving everything so far. Also got a Chikorita from my island scan, though sadly worthless due to choosing rowlet.
November 18th is not just when Sun and Moon released it’s one of the blackest day for me …..the day that my favorite black rooster “Silvally” Die ……RIP buddy may ur in better place now.
Chain catching Scyther cause I desperately want an Adamant/Technician Scizor
Such a good episode! I wanna see one with the Striation gym leaders and the Shadow Triad, let’s see that awesome Triple battle in motion
I do expect to see some N action especially with Anthea & Concordia (I think that’s their names) since they weren’t really expanded upon in game, and these shorts are the perfect time to give backstory
Like maybe a lil kid N playing with Zekrom & Reshiram toys and Ghetsis comes in being all fatherly and poisoning his innocent lil mind
But the shadow triad is totally the three gym leaders…
I think?
Wait did B2W2 debunk that?
Hi, sorry for the bothering. I’m practicing my listening, could you please help me with some sentences in this episode? Thanks
Oh I don’t have the time now but I’m sure there will be captions made on a bit 🙂
well thanks anyway. btw I’m also trying to make captions, and translations.
B2/W2 did debunk that yes
*snivel* How I miss the Black/White days, especially the Dream World. Nintendo definately blew it with the Nintendo Switch, just like they did with the Virtual Boy…
What island is Salandit on? When does it evolve?
Idk and lv33 if female
Akala Island (2nd Island) at the Volcano Park which is the site of the 3rd Trial.
Also i advise getting a Pokemon with Cute Charm as getting a female is a NIGHTMARE without one!
Would using AO be effective?
AO?
Adrenaline orb
Yes and no…. i tried that and yes a female should eventually appear but Salandit knows Dragon Rage so it was very difficult to get a chain going long enough to spawn a female SOS. I would advise cute charm unless you are feeling lucky!
Does Cutiefly/Ribombee learn Cute Charm?
Cute Charm is an ability which attracts Pokemon of the opposite gender. Sylveon has it and you get Eevee before the 3rd Trial or Igglybuff…also available before the area where Salandit is. Catch a male of either and a female Salandit will be much more likely to appear. I spent hours searching normally….gave up and evolved an Eevee and got a female on 2nd encounter after that!
man there are so many cutscenes…
Can anyone spare me a minute and help me with some sentences in this episode? Thanks
2:05
“You guys sure you(?) talk a whole lot but you don’t make any sense at all.”
Know your place. you xxx(??) child.”
4:11
“have been given this all of duty to change XXXX”
Sure!
1) “You guys sure DO talk a whole lot but you don’t make any sense at all.”
2) “Know your place you IMPUDENT child”
3) “Have been given the SOLEMN duty to change UNOVA”
I capitalised the bits you needed 🙂
Wow Thanks a lot. Wish you a good journey in Alola
Same to you!
Actually it should be this:
1) “You guys sure do talk a lot but you don’t make sense at all”
Did you watch it… what i wrote was verbatim…
I watched it without sound, so I didn’t know. My bad.
No bother… not a bad guess considering you were watching without sound but maybe not the best idea when typing up dictation.
I thought he was asking for himself, like he is writing a paper or something… I had no idea it relayed to the episode.
”You guys sure do talk a whole lot but you don’t make any sense at all”
”Have been given the solemn duty to change unova”
”know your place you impudent child”
Thanks!!
Can’t wait to get home and start playing! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f1d4a2078a4f637c6c571cf4bf8c75b6ae0b41fcad734f567339cc7846c078a5.png
Stuck at school for three more hours, and it’s more painful knowing I have the game at home. O_O
Why are you stuck at school? It’s 4:30pm.
1. Time zones (it’s 3:30 where I am)
2. I have to wait until my mom gets off work
Quick survey: who here believes in the “pokemon stars” rumor?
I don’t believe in rumours. Those starter evolutions are still fake.
Me
100%
Never believe a rumour till proven.
Though speculating is fun.
I’ll go with fake until proven real, though I do see it as possible.
I’d say I’m 80% skeptical
Me!no reason not to
I’d like to add despite my 100% belief, I still won’t be upset if it’s false. But I’d prefer it to be true.
i never realized that santalune forest was the exact same as viridian forest…
Yeah Kalos has a lot of Kanto rehash
Literally. Like same shape and everything
The mail came!! 😀
Anyone else actually finding the game a bit challenging!? I Love it!!
I test this team in the Showdown It’s really sucks when don’t have a fast pkmn …..I am almost can’t win against Mixed teams from other generations……I think I should build my team again. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3c49a71f5ed089ca4fa92542079fb4382903459f770140d3d1d33e3266680765.jpg
I can still beat 7 gen team with 1 legendary though.
Oh my god they updated?!? Yaaaas
they did did that yesterday.
Thank god I didn’t find out. I had stuff to deal with yesterday and I would’ve gotten distracted haha
*Drayden appears*
Me: DADDY! <3 0///0
I have that with Clay
YESSSSSS FINALLY A CRABRAWLER AND IT HAS IRON FIST
U should be sure about Ice Hammer first…….did it really boost by that.
It’s still better than Hyper Cutter even if it isn’t boosted (which it is)
Then u should learn it Ice punch ….Power up punch aor Dizzy punch.
Omg It’s awesome team
Popplio(Goofball) girl lvl.11
Yungoos (Goose) male lvl. 8

Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071 (Moon Version)
Holy Sh*t you already got Mismagius?!
you can get it very soon in the game before the first trial
Omg it does take forever to reset for a starter. Heads up: Save at the top of the trail near the bridge before coming back down to Iki Town
there are alot of cutscenes in the beginning of the game
Yeah, I mean it’s nice, they just should’ve let us save right before picking a starter :/
So… Anyone wanna talk about the games? 😀 (no story spoilers tho. Im waiting till Black Friday)
They are amazing I have already
Goofball (Popplio) Female lvl.11
Goose (Yungoos) Male lvl.8

Oh I was making a joke sorry
You playing HGSS?
Yes
Lmao how weird would all the dialogue be about Lillie living with Kukui if we didn’t get that opening cutscene? xD
two of my mons finally evolved #blessed
Cool I’m at the trainer school
Off topic, but the Moana soundtrack has been uploaded onto Disney’s official VEVO page and it is simply gorgeous! As a music enthusiast and student I applaud Disney’s use of local instruments, talents, and Lin Manuel Miranda’s and the team’s genius in putting together the soundtrack. I was a little hesitant at first as island music isn’t my forte, but Moana is simply beautiful! Has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, 81 on MetaCritic (Universal Acclaim), and an 8.0 (Universal Acclaim) ratings thus far.
https://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyMusicVEVO/videos
I’m holding off on listening to the soundtrack, but I bet it’s gorgeous
It is! I would say it is on par with The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid in terms of my personal musical tastes.
Awesome 🙂 My favorite Disney sound track is probably little mermaid (although mainly the broadway musical)
There are 2 particular songs that bring tears to my eyes because they sound so much like something Howard Ashman would have written! </3
I’ll probably cry at some point
Same for me! I am so shocked and astonished! I was not expecting the soundtrack to be as good as the Renaissance films. I cannot wait for the film to come out… JUST 7 MORE DAYS!
Disney animation has been amazing these past few years
I agree! Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, and Zootopia are new classics from the animation house that started it all! <3 I had faith even during their Chicken Little days! I had faith and now they're on the brink of sitting on the throne of animation!
Wreck it Ralph is my favorite animated movie! 😀 Pixar has been pretty good too, I hope that remains true, although I have no faith for cars 3
I concur. I don’t have much hype for Coco either… I hope that they truly do go back to making original films like they said.
I’ll have to see a trailer for coco before I give it any hype
I bet Lillie’s a vegan..
i- i OHKO Totem Raticate lol
… I have sinned. I said I would choose Rowlet, but THAT DAMN POPPLIO WAS CALLING TO ME! I could not say no to those eyes and that cuteness! <3 <3 <3
Anyone at low levels want to no restrictions Battle?
Anybody interested to test his/her team on the showdown?
DRAGONITE <3 <3
Anyone want to battle… Anyone I’m waiting
im settting up my wifi, but i will battle you
Yay! I’ve got a growing team right now
how many mons do you have?
Three so far
sorry buddy i cannot connect to my wifi rn maybe next time
Ok anyone else then?
The worst part about this is, that our game stores have Sun and Moon in stock but refuse to sell them before the 23rd
I’ve been soft resetting for 30 minutes now aaaah I just wanna play
what are you trying to get?
Female Popplio
rough. I settled on a brave Rowlet.
Gonna SR till I get an Adamant male Rowlet
Good luck on that. I”ll just settle for Quick Claw and having levels on my opponent.
Mello want to battle?!
I’m…No where near ready. I’m sort of a catching nut in these games. I’m like 6+ hours in right now and just nearing Hala.
Woooh! Finally!
You got girl Popplio?
Star want to battle?
lol I’m not able to yet! I just got my starter and I’m catching everything new :3
Oh first chance ya get want to I’m not that far in yet
Finally after 9 long months it’s time to get absorbed into this game
Cant wait to see all the pokemon I havent seen ever!
If you plan on soft resetting starters then save whenever you are able to move around
The starters can be shiny?
I think so
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I GOT ONE HELL OF A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU
Oh Hi it’s been a couple of months since we last talked to each other
DAMN STRAIGHT WHERES MY GOD DAMN HUG
Will you crush me if I hug you?
Whaddaya think
Tell me good nature for Steelix. Now
Relaxed

Status Update
Torracat 21
Rockruff 17
Mudbray 16
Crabrawler 16
With the sweat glistening through my white polo shirt, my team embarks onto a rustic farmland, in hopes to further increase my swath of destruction
And i totally one-shot’ed that Tauros that was pretty kewl
Why are you sweating while playing Pokemon
I’m a very unhealthy man
But in all seriousness I was doing an in game recap of my current situation
the question is why arent you
Probably because I don’t have the games yet
fair enough. enjoy the sweat free life
where can you get magnemite? i know is on melemele island but where?
Trainer School
omg really? bye i should have look more into that grass in the school

Me too…..sometimes I thought I shouldn’t be in this community.
I might leave for a while soon. It’s getting a bit more annoying waiting. Previous games weren’t as bad as mostly just Japan had it for a year first. It’s not as drastic as that but with everyone so excited here (rightly so) I feel it’s only a matter of time before the spoilers start becoming more difficult to skip past.
same same same asme
Nuuu its day I missed my chance to catch Ratata
I had the chance but my Goose entrances me so
Just got to the 2nd island not too long ago! My current team is:
Dartrix (Archimedes) 22
Snorlax (Henrietta) 21
Oricorio (Regina) 17
Rockruff (Sherlock) 15
Regina or Sherlock may eventually get replaced by another Pokémon, but I’ll keep one of the two. Dewpider, you’re next!

*cosmog is attacked by spearow*
This game is really difficult. i got swept alot
Want to battle Eastgovnah? I really want to battle!
im on island 3. what island u on?
Island 1… just beat trainer school… Have three Pokémon…
word of advice from old govnah: GRIND TO THE MAX ON ISLAND 2
Ok want to have normal rule battle still? If it exists still
eh im trying to complete the story before i do anything else i do apologize
Ok
What is max? Making pictures of this so i wont forget
like make sure by the end ur close to 30
At least I can look forward to a challenging Pokemon game. Hasn’t been the case since HGSS
a trainer just used SR. im shook
What?
Stealth Rock.
AND A RED CARD. wow
There’s a fair few Rapid Spinners and Defoggers this gen, probably not common enough to use one though.
“you…have a very nice mother don’t you”
OH BOI
(no spoils plz)
“Let’s go! Kneecaps!”
These NPCs man I swear
Like I always say
“Aim for the kneecaps”
Especially in archery
I gotta say I truly love my new team
Rockruff was getting nowhere slowly but after a few bars he’s shaping up good
And Crabrawler is a freaking monster with Brick Break and Bubblebeam
my crabrawler OHKO totem raticate and he was one level lower lol
Biggest question ever
Catch the Abra or don’t catch Abra?
Not really though? Just catch it if you want it
Catch but dont use
Always catch an Abra
Looks like Male Pokémon and Genderless can now pass their Pokéball through breeding with Ditto, very good if true.
YES
Means I can have Dream Ball Porygon when transfer is available 😀
Hey Monkeyfuzz, wanna swap friend codes?
Here are mine…
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141 (Sun Version)
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071 (Moon Version)
I will when I clear space. I don’t have Sun yet though.
Oh okay. Well, message/comment on a post of mine when you do.
Will do.
I just wanna get home and start my game already! I may even pass up Happy Hour tonight!
always pass up happy hour for pokemon
Maybe not always…. but the release day yes… And, Happy Hour is only until 7:00 so…
I am kind of having tough battles! I’m loving this game already!
Wanna battle we are both around same level and we have exchanged FC’s?
Where is rockruff found?
I heard after you get Tauros Ride.
Ten Carat Hill <3
It took me a while to find one. I started wondering if it was some Feebas-crap in only being found in certain patches 😛 But according to Serebii, there’s a 20% chance of finding them in any grass patch of Ten Carat Hill. I just got super unlucky for a while.
Burns have been nerfed from 1/8 damage to 1/16. Apart from attack drop it’s much much worse.
Does anyone wanna swap friend codes? It’d be fun to go through our Alola adventures together since we’ve all been waiting for this day for some time now… if so, let me know your name and friend code!
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141 (Sun Version)
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071 (Moon Version)
I ran into a Pichu earlier but now I have to find it again because I ran -.-
Shame! Pichu is cute level 61626000
I thought the first city had Pikachu available so I passed on it ;(
But Pichu is so special
Taking a break from HGSS and maybe do a new run on Omega Ruby. Whats a good nature for Torchic? Its the only starter I dont have saved in Bank
Adamant or Jolly. Jolly if you aren’t using Speed Boost.
Not gonna play SuMo? lol
…
Am I missing something? Lol
They arent for sale yet where I live
Oh sorry forgot about Europe….lol
Look at this bootyful birthday gift I made for Poekoko. What do you think? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eccae57c1d4e9b84affc23d58b181a2e956214230ee5e01b2d81d598fc1d9b7f.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f33f32d8eee39dcaa053fc4e7fcd00b04c9a6a057feb55f1ce104d24545b9dc3.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7be7978b659ba66e7ad3b9fa482aeb3a70e08583004d3234ada8b2d5f48910d0.jpg
Does it contain real Rowlet?
Rowlet is too classy to eat. It’s Rowlet Approved.
Also, I added a Lenny face by the note that says “enlarged to show texture”
Just read up on a Smogon article about confirmed changes to the meta game in Sun/Moon. Very happy to read that two rumors have been put to rest:
Eviolite has not been nerfed to x1.2. It’s still X1.5
Unaware has not been nerfed. The ability holder still gets the benefits whether it attacks or is attacked.
Both excellent news, my Quagsire is safe 🙂
and HA Pyukumuku just might have some edge over Shuckle after all.
Hopefully it at least gives it a chance.
Footage of a Litten not caring that nobody chose it
https://66.media.tumblr.com/7e7cbb1704c1522cfd190b2bb2559c49/tumblr_ogsn2f6vZi1qkz08qo1_540.gif
My brother and Earthen did
Shady probably chose it. Also Jota and Tiger Masku but other than those 3, you’re right.
My sister is choosing it, and I probably will if I also get Moon.
I chose Litten actually. I got it to level 16 and thought it was gonna evolve. Before I fully left the battle I went into Refresh and was almost sad to see it potentially evolve into Torracat…..IT’S JUST TOO CUTE!!! LOL
I picked it for one of my teams! I love Litten, Torracat and Incineroar
Loneliness is gonna kick in soon and he’ll commit suicide
Its so cute, I chose it! Litten was my choice from the start, I adore it <3
Hey Star are you able to battle yet?
Nope. I still only have a level 9 Popplio. Still looking for that freaking Pichu and I haven’t done the trainer school yet >.<
Oh ok just say when your ready I’m here
Hit me up in like 5 hours (9 pm PST) and I’ll battle, whether I have a strong team or not… I love battling!
this game went 0 to 100 after you get tauros. I went around the island and it only took me 5-10min
Just wanted to stop in for a brief second to say how much love Sun and Moon! I’m just about to take on Hala after I eat dinner. I can’t believe how long it takes to even get to this point! lol there’s so freaking much to explore it’s not even funny!. I really wanna get a Crabrawler, but I’m not sure how to do it. I know you get it by a berry tree, but how do you make it appear? anyway Sun and Moon are amazing and I can’t wait to play more!!!
Is there a hairstyle guide yet?
Just read this review on amazon. This guy is insane:
“Was very excited about this game. I have always wanted to play on the moon and finally pokemon is making my dreams come true.
FALSE
Still have to play this on earth. Billy is very depressed about this and I have had to take him out of school for the next 2 years to help him cope with this. Please game freak: at least let us play on Saturn next time. Anything but earth. Tired of the earth. No more earth.
0/6 stars”
Caught Pichu, now time to grind…
why have I chosen this slow slow path
Give it items to raise it’s happiness faster.
Use refresh a lot it raises it easy and it’s always useful I already have three hearts on Popplio
Isn’t that different to Happiness? I thought it was like Amie and raised the hearts, which lets you do stuff like evolve Eevee to Sylveon.
It still raises friendship yet Sylveon was special
The beginning of my trainer’s transformation into Ms Marvel.

Can you stop spamming this please?
I just want to get friend codes
Post a thread in the Forums and people will respond.
Where is that at?
Really taking my time with Moon, I’ve only just passed the Tapu Koko bridge cutscene and I’m super impressed. There are so many small details that have clearly been well thought out and it shows. The opening part of the game so far has been so refreshing with the break from the usual formula. I don’t remember the last time I was so instantly enthralled in a game.
Ok but WOW is SRing for starters a pain in the butt.
yeah I had to go through it 5 times for a female popplio. worth it though.
I’m on like my 12th reset ?
I’m addicted to the Festival Plaza.
Can you buy Apricorn Balls there?
No clue, I’ve just been farming FC
Oh OK, it’s something I’m anxious to find out.
So I have 1 spot left on my team and can’t decide how to fill it. Ideally I want a Special Attacker. These are the types I can choose from: Dark, Psychic, Steel, Electric, Ice, Normal, Fairy, Flying or Ground. I may be able to cover some of these types in moves on my other ‘mon. I don’t really want to use Alolan Forms if I can help it, and definitely no older ‘mon. Lycanroc not learning Earthquake kind of messed my coverage.
Omg the Paniola Town music…so cool.
omg i thought stamina would only work with physical attacks. but is for every attack. also lucky me the first mudbray i found was stamina
Confirmed by me Apricorn balls are back on Melemele a breeder uses a Pikachu in a Friend ball which is an Apricorn ball
Also breeders are gorgeous in these games
Good lord if I’m correct in the battle you killed her Pikachu cause after she says it rests here in cemetery
Probably wasn’t you, it stole her pancakes after the battle and she got super mad.
I just want to know where you can buy them (─‿‿─)
Progress Update:
Just bet Olivia and the 2nd Grand Trial.
6 Z Crystals
Team:
Brionne Lvl: 32
Charjabug Lvl: 30
Salandit Lvl: 30
Steenee Lvl: 27
well, totem wishiwashi didn’t live up to the difficulty hype. guaranteed win if you picked popplio…
What did you use?
well, I was faster. it used growl. encore locked him into growl for the entire match.
Maybe they didn’t think of that when they designed that one.
my friend only had a dartix at this point, I’m not sure what he did but it wasn’t hard for him, either. type advantage if I had to guess.
Maybe those struggling are under levelled?
maybe. its like whitney all over again, people say its hard but are under leveled.
Pheromosa is broken as fuck
you got that far already?
I’m playing on Showdown
SHOWDOWN IS ALREADY UPDATED? that was fast
Mega Mawile is unbanned. Sub Focus Punch is back
They’ve had the Data for weeks.
anyone find a feebas? a guy in a pokemon center wants to see one but I’m having a hard time finding one.
All Z-move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nggwTEANC8
Does anyone know when we’re able to use Poké-Pelago?
I think its the second island?
Thank you 🙂
Second island. After finishing Kiawes trial
I will find you, feebas, mark my words….
Are there pictures of all the clothing options yet?
Curious about this as well, trying to see if I can find an article somewhere or something but so far no luck yet
i am wearing, 14000$ Komno-O scale loafers. i feel fancy af
Queen!
On Serebii “22:18: Created the page for Ultra Beasts and Where To Find Them.” intentional Fantastic Beasts reference?
i wonder if that’s good? i actually have the book, not an easy thing to find (other than online lol)
Well it’s not based too much on the book I think. I will be seeing it next week, I’m really looking forward to it.
yeah the book doesn’t have much of a plot, just a documentation of various creatures with notes scrawled on the margins.
I wanted the book but it looked thin and really expensive for the amount you get. I missed it when it was originally released for charity here, I wouldn’t have minded paying a bit more then. Maybe they’ll release a new one for the films release.
Respect
i really like how the sightseers have kanto pokemon variants. nice touch gamefreak.
30 balls later…WIMPOD IS MINE <3
Grubbin is hella cute
Love feeding and petting it in Pokémon refresh <3
Just got back from getting the game. What a goddamn ride that was lol
I lost to Sina because Glaceon wrecks my team, didn’t expect that. And I don’t even get to exact my revenge, she just walks off! Ouch.
she’s going back to kalos to brag.
I’m going to hunt that b***h down!!
where is bounsweet located?
lush jungle. you can trade a lillipup to an npc for one, its name is bouncee, i’d rather catch my own though.
In the jaws of imminent death.
lush jungle
Toxapex is a monster. Walls Mega Mawile and Pheromosa like it’s nothing.
Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu are underwhelming. Tapu Lele is a beast. Tapu Fini is Bulky as hell.
Kommo-o can be good, but it’s movepool is too shallow
What I’ve gathered from playing in Showdown so far.
What Kommo-O build did you use?
I haven’t really experimented with it so I’m just using a standard DD set at the moment. Honestly it’s not that great. Moves are too weak even at +1
I considered trying mixed. Maybe it’ll shine in lower tiers there.
Landorus is amazing as ever. Genesect is also back in OU and still a beast.
Do ally Pokemon have egg moves? Or are we back to breeding for egg moves?
DEMON OF THE SEA
Golisopod?
ugh first feebas now a female salandit….
Do you have a Male Pokémon with Cute Charm?
no, but that’s a good idea. i just found one though, i will keep that in mind for the next time.
I FOUND DEWPIDER YESSSS
my fav mechanic so far is that now you can choose to either send a pokemon to a box or add it to your party. saves so much time
I’d like to be able to access my PC anywhere, now we have Pokéride we can’t get stuck without having a HM ‘mon with us.
that would be overpowered, if you have to face a gauntlet, (like the e4) you could just deposit and withdraw to heal your pokemon at will. also, you could have a backup team ready to faceroll things if your current team is getting worn down.
Lock it for those areas maybe?
or remove its healing ability. if they could. I’m not sure if its like a limitation that pokemon put in there are always fully healed. its a tactic i used in the GC games because of the lack of pokemon centers in certain areas.
Yeah I use it when I can’t be bothered trek back to a Center. I see your point, we definitely don’t need things being made too easy.
One of my favorite features as well, surprised it took them long. Heal balls are more useful now than they were before.
@irvinap:disqus What level are your pokemon at? I wanna battle!
Lvl.11
And a 14 hang On I’ll be in in a moment
Ready now how do we do it?
Festival Plaza?
Alright I’m in
Then I think you need to connect to the internet with the little wi-fi symbol on the bottom screen
Are you Ava?
Yep!
Just asked
Nice team so far
Getting Cutiefly in a bit 😛
Well you’ve won!
Yep if only my Goofball wasn’t two levels higher you would have won
Cool I plan have Togedemaru maybe
Female Hairstyles: http://imgur.com/a/GbCxr?
You know where the guys ones are at?
http://imgur.com/a/NWa2i
Thanks 🙂
romantic tuck for me!
the cutscene for wishiwashi totem battle is so dramatic
@StarStorm I’m ready how do we battle though?
did anybody suffer alot of lag while battling wishiwashi?
found her! got a female salandit! and she knows dragon rage?!? yes please! HP grass to cover that water and ground weakness…. wow i was lucky.
Great, I went to sleep so I guess that’s bad in terms of falling behind and stuff. 🙂
i wouldn’t worry. ive been taking my sweet time, been playing since last nights midnight release and just cleared the 3rd trial.
Well I’ve been taking my sweet time too, exploring everything. I’m not even to the second. 🙂
Most of the time was wasted from SR of Greninja and Munchlax; plus that accursed Festival Plaza…
TEAM SKULL IS THE BEST SERIOUSLY
Do you get the Adrinaline orb after the first Kahuna or first Trial?
It’s still not being sold in the store and I just got to island 2.
I got 1 from the ranch though.
How far is that into the game?
Start of island 2.
It’s not exactly an infinite use item…
yeah its what i call a “competitive consumable” like the focus sash. it probably wont go away in facilities like the royale dome and battle tree.
I just want it for shiny hunting
How strong was your starter at that point? I think mine is a bit overlevelled.
lv. 22, which is a lot overleveled… 🙂
Yeah, that’s the same as mine. I’m actually planning on banking my starter until I get past that point.
I put mine in the nursery instead. It’s cranking out Popplios right now, and I’m gonna get the rest of the starters in GTS.
Unfortunately, mine’s male and I don’t have a Ditto. 🙁
…. my favorite “villain” just walked up to me and SPOKE to me on route 8!!!!!!!!!!! to ME!!!!! 😀
Everytime I use thundershock I keep saying “Thundershoook”
shook!
Damit Incineroar still slow even with Flame Charge …………..just Y they didn’t swap his sp.attack with his speed?
Brionne is perfect. Oh my gosh. I wanna give it an eviolite and not evolve it.
Oh my god Arm Thrust’s animation is the freakiest thing
Haha I like it honestly 😛
if anyone is wondering, i can confirm that corrosion only makes steel/poison types able to be poisoned, but steel types are still unaffected by poison type moves (my salandit couldn’t hit this guy’s shieldon with smog)
such an eh ability, atleast it stops tentacruel to wall Salazzle
Now Ice Hammer officially boosted by Iron Fist Yeeeeeeessssssss!
question, so far I only have popplio, how long would you guys say until I get to the area with cutiefly? I just got to the trainer school
Also FANTASTIC BEASTS WAS FANTASTIC!
It’ll be a bit depending how much time you dedicate to exploring and talking to NPCs like me. But you can get one before the first trial.
yay thanks
low chances before the first trial, but after the trial there is an area that is ambundat with them
Really? Heh. Had a feeling. Just ran into mine at random. And now it shall sit in my PC for my living dex.
yeah, this chick wanted a cutiefly, and i saw one but kill it accidentaly and gave up then because it never show up again
bummer, so far all the pokemon that I have seen I don’t want to use really, maybe a quick oricorio or something if I can find one, oh well
well, there is a patch before the trial where you can get some cool mons, cutiefly is one of them
thanks 🙂
how far are yall on the game, i just finish the second trial, and already found my bby dewpider. had to box Locke the mismagius and Lentalle the slowbro cause they werent helping at all
i just beat the 3rd trial, and am searching route 8 for a stufful.
Brionne, Salandit, Rockruff
NPC: We need you to register a stufful on route 8
me: WHERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
omg I found an alolan grimer! cute
to your previous question, you will shortly be tasked by kukui to find Lillie who was separated from him. where she is you can find cutiely and oricorio pompom
omg thanks so much, honestly I probs would have been lost without that. “tra la la, I don’t know what I’m doing” lol XD
Nursery reached, it’s breeding time!
I’m gonna have extra Popplio copies soon, so if anyone’s interested, I’m gonna be distributing them. 🙂
Hey has anyone started breeding Eevee’s yet?
did you found eevee ?
Their on Route 4/6. 5% chance of appearing, but once someone has one and a ditto they can crank those things out quickly to everyone.
i may look for one cause i want a glaceon
I’ve spent an hour hunting one with no luck. But if you find one I’ll happily trade something to get one for dex completion.
sure. my wifi doesnt work but i will be a different place tomorrow so i will hit you up if i find another one
Strike that. Eevee can be obtained as an egg gift
WHERE
daycare.
just got it to confirm. Talk to the day care lady and she gives it to you.
where is the daycare ?
second island, just past the western town, as in cowboys, not west. you have to go by it in the main story so you can’t miss it.
after lana trial?
before it. Its on the way to it.
ahhh i missed it. oh well thanks i will backpedal after this battle
Anybody else having issues finding certain new pokemon? I can’t seem to find any dewpider
dewpider is on the road to lana trial. and yeah i havent seen rockruff yet lol
I’m on that road, been looking for a good hour haha
that sucks lol, he was my first encounter
I’m finding psyduck and more lull haha
i havent seen a morellul at all
I figured it would be my best bet for lana trial, I have nothing else good on water
it can only be found at night I read somewhere
im playing moon so yeah make sense cause is daylight and in the trailers it was always at night
rockruff is passed the cave next to kukui’s lab. you will reach a closed in quarry looking area, the grass patch on the left side has a 10% of finding rockruff
Ugh, Akala Island for me has been Lillipup Island.
I FEEL YOU
stufful. FEEBAS…. ARGH!
the final guy at the trainer school is such a tool tbh
Make sure you catch the driftloon for the beauti in the Hau’oli pokemon center! You get 10,000$!!!
this people are wealthy, i showed the fiance a cutiefly and she gave me 3000$
I’m sure houses in Alola aren’t too cheap! You gotta be rich to live here
CRAP! Drifloon are only seen during the day. Gotta wait for tomorrow.
Mudbray just 1HKO’d the Totem Salazzle
Pichu why are you so weeeekk
Gee I wonder why
be thankful its not ledian. ledian is made out of wet tissue paper, held together by nothing.
Oh Ledian
“Ledian is totally outclassed and cannot merit a slot on any serious team, as Meowstic and Ninjask do everything that Ledian can better defensively and offensively, respectively. It has terrible offensive stats, which nullifies its large offensive movepool, and a shallow support movepool, along with poor defenses and a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock, making it absolutely worthless on any team.”
haha that’s hilarious. i tried using it in game on crystal and it is bar none the most useless in game pokemon ive ever used.
Does Refresh raise happiness?
I’m willing to bet it’s only Affection, just like in Amie.
Question: Are you playing with Battle Style on Switch or Set? I’m playing on Set.
Switch because I’m a scrub ¯_(ツ)_/¯
set. gotta get the most out of the game.
set. gotta make it harder
I just found Dewpider on my first encounter in Brooklet :0
Ok Team Skull is my favorite team. They are so funny I love them
they are rad homie
i just watched an araquanid 2hko a skarmory and surviving a BB. king of ou
Good thing Mega Pinsir can OHKO with a Return even at full investment
I’ve played at least 11 hours today
StarStorm, find a thunderstone at the Fossil Restoration Center on route 8
Oh cool thanks!
Has anyone else had a Pokemon-Go esque time trying to catch wild Pokemon? I’ve wasted so many Pokeballs when they’re in red health, and they keep breaking out, it’s insane.
Do you inflict status on them?
I don’t have any status to inflict, but even still, I’ve never had this much difficulty before catching wild Pokemon.
Paralysis or Sleep multiply capture chance by a fair bit. I guess maybe they have altered capture rates.
Not sure if its like that with everyone but same here, seems to happen more often than not. I’ve lost track of how many pokeballs I used because it happened with most of the Pokemon I caught though the catch rate seemed to have gotten harder the further I got
Having more trouble with the encounters tbh I have no idea if there are any Pokemon to be encountered still or I’ve exhausted the area of new encounters
That too!!
same. there are so many mons i havent seen yet
Ooof, Round two on the first trial!
ill prepared for the first attempt?
Yep. And I kept Pichu in for too long. Second round I manged to paralyze it then finish it off with Popplio’s Disarming Voice :3
I love Trials. Definitely a great replacement to gyms!
I was super cautious in the trial after the evil teacher incident… 😐
I t-waved everything before setting up… still got Pichu fainted…
Minior is just the best
I accidentally made my chick look like a prostitute… whoops
Lol I’m curious to see
id show you but I’m tired and lazy lol, but she has long blond hair, booty shorts and knee high socks
Mine used to look like one?

omg this is my character but with different colours
I guess real blonde instead of pink blonde 🙂
platinum, and the socks are white
My character now looks like Lilo from Lilo and Stitch but sleeveless and with white socks…
Hau has to be one of my favorite rivals
A friendly rival done right
Exactly! he’s very easygoing xD
Silver for me I like beating assholes.
I FOUND YOU STUFFUL!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY LIFE IS COMPLETE I CAN DIE NOW!
Don’t die yet, you still need to evolve it to Bewear!
true. i will do that!
i hate how slow the bar goes if the HP is red. stop making me anxious
OMG YES! I’m like come on now there’s no way it’s gonna survive this final attack!
right? this pokemon had sturdy and it took forever for that 1 hp to go down
Anbody know where the soothbell is? I need a Pikachu soon
Its some point after the first trial, but before Hala.
I forgot, but I got it shortly after the first trial. I think someone (Kukui?) gives it out for free.
i think it was a random npc
Do they stop you for it or do you have to talk to them?
talk
Oh dear…what have I done…I had Totem Wishiwashi down to low enough HP where it lost its school form. But then it called Alomomola for help, so I was curious if Heal Pulse restoring Wishiwashi’s HP would also restore its school form, so instead of finishing Wishiwashi when I had the chance, I did nothing with my turn just to see. Well, it did, and now I’m in trouble xD
Plot twist! good luck :O you know what they say about curiosity I suppose, but its very interesting probably would of done the same thing to see what happened xD

im hollering, a freaking espeon appeared after eevee call for an ally
Wow. I love this ally mechanic. Are you going to catch the Espeon instead?
idk, cause i want a glaceon. Actually i may just wait to see if he calls a glaceon
Good idea. Glaceon isn’t until the E4 though if I remember correctly
yeah i know so annoying cause i love glaceon so much
my favorite, too!
a helpful feature: select a party pokemon, choose give item. if you scroll over to TM’s, it will highlight all that are learnable by the pokemon
Gen 6 did that as well ^_^
stop stealing my thunder bro lol
Taking stuff off the nursery costs 500 each. 🙂
BTW, I have 4 spare Popplios now in case anyone wants some.
At least stuff doesn’t level up, so 500 is what it’ll always be.
Oh. It is actually named Buzzwole. i thought that was just what you guys called it as a joke
Mudsdale gets Close Combat as an Egg Move, Kommo-O doesn’t get it at all. https://averyteoda.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/why.gif
Balance man. That’ Gen 7’s motto it seems. Nothing can be op this gen.
How is this balancing? Mudsdale with Stamina is pretty OP, especially when Speed Swapped or in Trick Room.
Found a Feebas yay
CRIT CAPTURE YAY! First one all game xD
wow shiinotic looks so cool!
I thought it was creepy at first, but it’s pretty cute
Munchlax just evolved into Snorlax, so I think that’ll be the end of any difficulty for a while…
One of my favorite things is that they finally got rid of “Withdraw” and “Deposit” in the PC. Because let’s be honest, nobody clicked those options.
I always accidentally pressed those buttons then went back to Move regardless of what I was doing
where do you got the adrenaline orb?
You can buy it eventually in Pokemarts
after what trial?
I think it is after the first grand trial. I’m about to battle it so I’ll confirm in a bit
Wow I just lost a battle against a random trainer. It’s been a while since that has happened
I died against Lurantis and it was one of my hyped Pokemon for Gen 7! I hate this bittersweet relation. Speaking of bittersweet….WHERE DO YOU GET BOUNSWEET?! I WANT MY RUSSIAN CZAR’S WIFE TSARINA.
Wonder trade on the forst day isn’t that good
How do you wondertrade?
You have to go into festival Plaza and do some stuff, then it’s ublocked
MY BABY IS EVOLVING AAAAAAAA
Blarghhhhhhhhhh I feel so fat……all day dedicated to Pokemon slovenly…totally worth it….
Well this is good night signing off with team update

Rockruff 23
Mudbray 23
Crabrawler 23
Salandit 18 Female (it will be replaced)
Tomorrow I evolve my Rockruff and catch a Wimpod
Good luck tomorrow!
Getting Mimikyu is HELL
First you spend 3 hours trying to encounter it
Then when you do it keeps calling for more Mimikyu to appear in which you have to kill one to catch it.
Which wouldn’t be so bad if you had to waste a turn to disable Disguise while the two outspeed you, and spam Shadow Sneak and using Charm to lower your attack.
Then when you do kill one, the remaining Mimikyu calls for another Mimikyu cycle repeats
Better have a quick ball ready I guess
And when it fails to catch…
Escape and run around tall grass again? 🙁
neat, just opened up a rare kitchen, which allows me 3 free level ups per day by the looks.
go to digglet tunnel
encounter theme starts
a zubat appears
wtf
How do berries respawn? I’m trying to catch crabrawler
Derrr………I had the same problem unfortunately I theorize that Berry piles spawn once a day and besides I know how you can tell if a Crabrawler is in there
Look for the more bigger dome shape piles
Once a day? Geez
That is so weird, literally every berry pile I’ve gone to after the berry farms has had a Crabrawler.
I honestly keep hoping it doesn’t spawn because all I’m trying to do is collect the berries.
I’ve only been to the farm one, so I was just wondering if I could get it to respawn now 😛
Oh, the next Pokemon center has a berry tree!
Oh, coolness.
there are like 3 or 4 berry trees in melemele
Okay, hopefully I get lucky and find one with iron fist
Static is way better of an ability than I thought
ugh, i catched the eevee and now i that i want to look for another one i cant find one
3 CRITS IN A ROW WHAT WOW I AM NOT READY FOR HALA
Anybody willing to do a trade-tradeback with me and my Kadabra? Not part of my party, I just need a better Pokemon for GTS deals.
Sure, I’m willing to help out! 🙂
Cool! Thanks.
FC: 3737 – 9521 – 9386 (3DS: Ben; IGN: Animated Guy)
You’re welcome! 5343-8914-9885
Alright, I’m on! How do you find your friends in Festival Plaza? 😛
Good question, trying to figure that out as well,went to trade but don’t see ya xD
wait found it, just took a second for the icon to pop up
Here we go
You don’t have Minior yet, do you?
Nope haven’t found one yet!
When you catch a level 10 female Cutiefly with shield dust in a heal ball
Praise be to Arceus that it wasn’t Honey gather
took me over an hour to find stufful at the earliest possible area. was relieved it had fluffy and not klutz
Catching the right pokemon with the right abilities and genders is proving taxing to say the least 😛
AHHHH MY DEWPIDER EVOLVED
My brother is in denial and thinks that Ilima is a girl. It’s a dude, right?
It’s Bugsy
Distant relatives
yep
He is a boy
Yeah you’re right, some characters just have slightly feminine features
It’s confirmed, his family says so.
dangm aquanid 3d model is amazing
uhg,gotta grind so much
Bewear
“This pokemon has a habit of hugging its companions. Many trainers have left this world after their spines were snapped by its hug”
aaaaaaaaaaaand that’s not how you bold something.
Just “B” 🙂
It’s a serial killer…
an adorable serial killer! :3
Yaassss!!!!

Welcome to the club!
Don’t know why the picture is sideways…
Sometimes our cameras makes it sideways via some property in the file but doesn’t actually rotate the pic. So when we upload it, is not recognized by the browsers so it goes sideways. 🙂
Does anybody wanna have a 3v3 battle? My Pokémon are in their early-mid 20s.
Yay caught a Cutiefly hella quickly.
Just entered route 2.
Play time: 4:10
Team:
– Rowlet LV. 13
– Meowth LV 12
I’ve grown quite attached to meowth, hoping it wears off soon.
Seriously, Hau’s Pichu is a huge troll Pokemon. It took me forever to kill.
Give Meowth an Everstone, proven to prevent gross head bloat.
Meowth is surprisingly good in my game.
searching for an eternity to find a bounsweet, I ran into an oranguru! did not expect!
You sure it isn’t a time based encounter?
I’m not sure. I guess it could be, but 11:30 is a very strange time for a time based encounter.
Could be morning only or something.
oh *facepalm* I thought you meant oranguru
Oh, no sorry I should’ve said. According to Serebii Bounsweet has 40% encounter rate day and night.
I traded lilipup for bounsweet in an in-game trade though…
So the Destination marker is set on the Battle Royal place, but it seems if I wanted, I could bypass it and go through Diglett’s Cave?
nah, olivia stops you from going farther
Ah ok, thank you!
I should of tried that when Totem Whisiwashi called forth another, to see what it would be like to face 2, though Raticate kinda fainted it quickly before I could witness it
You will get either Alomomola or small Wishiwashi
Oooh. Caught a Wishiwashi. Lana’s favor is not part of any trial, after all.
Also this is what Pandora (me trainer) looks like now: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/628ca073f20951b6401fcf2ec391f455ef30255aad4f310328ab645bd9e54735.jpg
Y ur avatar is a girl?
Why not? I wanna look at something cute for the rest of the game.
jeeze this oranguru keeps calling trumbeak to its aid. when brionne leveled up, I gained +4 to ATK. -_-;
That’s EV’s for ya. You can probably lower it later.
she’s an awful nature, i wont be using her in competitive.
Brave or something?
Naughty (+Atk-Sp.Def)
Oh, well you can breed a better one later, or maybe wait until it’s HA is available.
Oranguru
“on rare occasions, it shows up at the beach to match wits with Slowking” i really like some of the pokedex descriptions in this game
That isn’t unheard of for prime apes to wander into human territories to attempt to learn from them, so its kinda cleaver.
Looking forward to those Slowking/Oranguru SOS battles haha
Heh, I bought a Strange Souvenir.
WHAT POKEMON IS IT?
Who knows, I still say it’s an early design of Bulu xD Or maybe it’s a Pokemon we will see in Pokemon “Star”
Maybe it’s deformed Pikachu head after too many Pancakes before it gains Psychic brain powers.
yep. its OBVIOUSLY this.
Kalos memories
to anyone looking for Bounsweet, when in lush jungle, they ONLY appear in the western side (left path from start) at 40%. found one as my first encounter there after looking for over an hour in the northern side.
Personally I’m not a fan of this specific grass patch encounter thing going on.
Thank you I’m catching one
Goodbye Oricorio, hello Dewpider.
Water Bubble + Mystic Water + BubbleBeam as an early move = Dewpider evolving very fast
When you faint a Totem can you still catch one of its’ summons?
No, you can not.
Oh, OK thanks.
Hey I found Earthen in my Festival Plaza
“I’ll leave with this message. I’m angry!”
LOL Earthen omg xD
I think I was over-prepared for the second trial… ;p
Magnemite t-waved it and its ally, then I just got lucky with paralysis. Magnemite got Soak’d on turn 1, turning it into a water type, allowing it to tank one hit from the boss. Magnemite eventually went down after making the boss eat its held Sitrus Berry. Brionne mopped up with Disarming Voice.
I just went Nasty plot, charge beam on PIkachu, took it down to like 30%, ate its berry, and then just razor leafed it down with Dartrix. It’s not really hard if you have a grass or electric type, which you’ve had access to for a long time by that point.
i basically echoed voice till the point that trumbeak died and dartix came to clean
that battle was a joke. after the totem used growl on its first turn, since i was faster, i locked it into growl for the remainder of the fight with Brionne’s encore.
eh, i will give GF credit on this one. If your strategy is just straight offense you are not going anywhere. That alomomola with heal pulse and helping hand is a deadly combo. I was lucky that alomomola decided to attack instead of healing if not that battle would have taken longer
All of us seem to have specific strategies, that may or may not include statuses, AOE and setup sweepers.
This is still the fight that will make kids cry… if the school teacher or Hala hadn’t done it already…
So when can you change the way you throw a poke all?
This ^^
I wanna be left handed
Is there an easy way to see your friends in the Festival Plaza? Like how you had a list on the PSS? All I see is a mishmash of what I assume are technically “passer bye people” in the list of people in my plaza and then my empty VIP list. Would be useful to be able to see the people I have registered on my 3DS so I know who is who lol
The Guest list will have “Friend” next to their name if they are on your friends list. As far as I can tell, that’s the only thing that differentiates. You can choose to make them VIPs, but eh. I vastly prefer the PSS friend system. But I still am loving the festival plaza.
Quick question. I haven’t fought the first Kahuna yet. Looking for Lillie in Route 3. My team right now is:
Crabrawler lv. 15
Munchlax lv. 16
Brionne lv. 18
My Exp. Share is on. Should I turn it off for the rest of the game?
your levels are on par with the kahuna’s, i turned mine off before fighting ilima and ive been on par with the rest of the trainers so far.
Thanks.
Where are you at right now?
I’m passing a certain tunnel that will most likely lead to the second grand trial. i have
–
Bewear, lv28
Brionne, lv.30
bounsweet, lv. 25
salandit, lv.27
rockruff, lv.24 (waiting for my friend with sun to use my rare candy on her for me)
Cool. I think I have been playing for nearly 5 hours today and I have only gotten as far as I have just mentioned. Nevertheless, the game doesn’t feel slow at all.
I just turned mine off my Pokémon got too strong I’m looking for someone for the story my team
Brionne (Goofball) lvl.18
Yungoos (Goose) lvl. 15
Grimer (Honeybeard) lvl. 15
Rockruff becomes available after Ten Carat Hill if you are interested in getting one.
Love this artist:

Watched showdown for about an hour (that’s what we can do in Europe). Incineroar has great coverage and Primarina hits really strong, but Decidueye is just bad. A lot of times it traps the target just to be killed in the same turn -.-‘
People don’t know how to use Decidueye.
cjqcihqoichqsidhq
I was supposed to get the game this morning (europe) but UPS says they’ve already tried to deliver but that they didn’t have access to my apartment. They didn’t call me, send a message or an email. Like wtf.
Am I the only one who isn’t bothered by Rotom blinking and speaking in the slightest. Do people really look at their bottom screen and map frequently.
Great, I’ll only be able to get Sun on Monday because of the incompetent delivery guy. fuming
Just got done with the 2nd trial and my team still just consists of Brionne and Chargabug.. if only Crabrawler’s encounter method isn’t so dumb
Lost to Ilima 2 times. That freaking Smeargle with Water Gun washed out my Litten. ?
Yeah, idk how I’ll beat him unless I get crabrawler soon. All I have are Rowlet and Cutiefly and he knows ember
Crabrawler is found in a pile of berries on the route near the trial site
We can’t go north of Hau’oli City before defeating Ilima. Hala is blocking the way because of a rampant Tauros. 🙁
Oh their to my knowledge is no other place to get one what are your teams I can suggest ones good for Fighting Ilima
I managed to beat him using X Defend on my Pikipek, followed by some Rock Smash. ?
Cool I beat him with Grimer it’s a beast
Hopefully I get lucky enough to find one with iron fist though! 😛
She took out all but my Popplio I got a Z-Move!
https://i.imgflip.com/1eg8js.jpg
Say hello to my newest addition to the team
As we trekked our way out of Lush Jungle the dim morning air began to ignite when a Hot Shot Ace Trainer from the Kalos region demanded a battle!
She and her Sylveon took out half my team with little effort but one stood alone and managed to tough it out and cling to life by a thread and just as Sylveon began to fire one last Moonblast, the morning sun began to show its light and a willful gleam of sunlight shown off my Partner’s eyes and let loose a primal howl!!!!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a5c53da717fea239b714665faac9c1d927f01873e3966282014b55089dfc9907.png
Rockruff evolved into Lycanroc!
With instinctive vigor it burst through with amazing speed dodging every attack, the rocks on its mane glew bright and Lycanroc blitzed into Sylveon with the power of its newly learned Accelrock knocking out the Sylveon and winning the match
Almost every female in this game is HOT!!!! Pokémon breeders especially
Yay I beat Totem Raticate got the a Z-Move
Popplio lvl.17
Yungoos lvl. 15
Grimer lvl.14

“Your chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon are about 4,000 to 1!”
-random punk guy
Yo guys! Yesterday while hunting for rockruff on ten carat hill i came across a shiny roggenrola!! I was very surprised to get a shiny the first day! Also today im heading out to akala!
Congrats! 😀 shiny gigalith is really cool
Ordered sun and moon on Amazon! They say they will come on release day… any chance at all of them coming earlier
Well my friend was supposed to get them on release day(18) from amazon (he preordered all the way back in june) and they still havent arrived
I ordered with Amazon standard delivery , which says it comes on the day of release
I ordered on amazon too and they were supposed to deliver today (instead of the 23rd) but the delivery guy/whatever fucked up and everything’s closed till Monday morning xd
That’s still before release day! When did you order? Is there any chance I’d get it early ? Which country are you in?
France. I ordered it on the 14th I think (using the premium trial). If the delivery guy had just called me or left the game at a nearby post office I’d be playing the game rn fuhzefuobzyuzfubouz
Awesome that you get it before the European release date though !! This is the longest 4 days ever.
As I only ordered them yesterday, I doubt mine will come before the 23rd…
Europe aka the best continent doesn’t deserve this tbh
No they really don’t! Annoying knowing both our west and east have the game
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon Prime and set up notifications on my phone. It came yesterday around 2:00 I think… so, it came on release day
Is anyone here playing Pokemon Sun and it’s daytime right now?
Yup!
If I traded you my Rockruff holding a Rare Candy, would you be able to evolve it into Midday Lycanroc? :0
Sure! FC: 0705-7097-9576 Max
Thank you so much!! 😀 My FC: 4441-8622-5952 Brandon
Added
Same, I’m heading online ^_^ If it wants to learn Accelerock upon evolving (I’m honestly not sure if it will or not), but if it does, you can delete Leer!
Okay no problem 🙂
All done! Just connecting back online now. It did learn Accelerock BTW!
YAY!!! 😀 I really appreciate the help ^_^
No problem at all 😀
May I add you to my friends list, and do you want my friend codes too?
Sure!
Mine are above… if you need them still let me know. I’ll add you to my Sun one after I get Rowlet can get to the friends list.
I added both 🙂
Is it cool if I add you to my friends list too
Sure! Whats yours and ill add you back?
Cosimo: 3007-9158-7071 (Moon)
Jeff: 1779-0850-4141 (Sun)
I’ll add you after I get my Rowlet on my sun version and can go into my friends list
Added both!
Yes
Yay Popplio Evolved into Brionne

Salazzle Lvl: 34
Tsareena Lvl: 33
Cool! I beat trial 1 and have

I added you to my friends list. Gotta do my other one still though
Ok
Moon:
Litten Lvl: 11
Pikipek Lvl: 10
Grubbin Lvl: 7
Just battled Hua for the second time. Now starting my Sun version.
Sun:
Brionne 28
Snorlax 24
Persian 26
Dewpider 21
Magnemite 24
Karabra 26
Just reached a certain place and there’s BP involved already…
So I’m about to do my fourth trial and my team is
Salandit lv 22
Alolan Diglett lv 24
Lycanroc (Midday) lv 25
Rhibombee lv 25
Brionne lv 25
What do y’all think of the game so far? I’m thinking it’s the most fun I’ve had in a Pokémon game ever.
I’m just climbing back down the mountain from the 5th Trial and i am loving the game so far! Are you finding the game to actually be challenging at times?
Actually yes! I lost a couple of times. I lost to Hau in that farm town and I lost during the Battle Royal. I think I like the trials more than gyms???
Yeah me too! The Totem’s are much more interesting with their status changes and allies with tactics that actually work! Trainers have much more diverse and powerful movesets too and even wild battles are tougher with the SOS calls.
Exactly! The only thing I wish was better was the pokedex
To the people who already have the game: is it actually good? because the trailers didn’t make me that excited. Are the trials stupid like the one in the demo or are they fun? (no spoilers *cries*)
Much better than XY and very diverse region! The challenge is also much higher than XY and on par with DPPt i would say!
Thank Arceus
TBH I think the trials are better than gyms. They’re all so different and include different things. I haven’t had this much fun playing Pokémon in forever
I like it a lot so far. Def better than kalos. I will say the intro/beginning part is quite long, there’s a good deal of dialogue and guided stuff
Surprisingly, the player character can recognize him at first glance…
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c7d29514b225e5115f17cff28a9e922a00f69dd94a87ffe640f9ccb12771e1ab.jpg
Well that’s kinda funny 😀
So my Litten is rash and is somewhat vain… what does that mean for me? I feel like the nature suits Litten…
Oh yeah, you added me to the friends list, cool!
Rash is +10% Special Attack -10% Special Defense
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nature
Somewhat vain means your Special Defense is your highest stat, and could be 1, 6, 11, …, 26, 31.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Characteristic
So it seems like it’s pretty good yeah?
Yeay a Dispatch Email.
If it’s not coming by Post it could be here tomorrow.
If it is coming by Post then probably Monday.
Nintendo Store is great.
Though technically i’d be getting it early so, would I be banned if I use it?
No as you are using a legit cartridge sold by a legitimate retailer 🙂
Good, specially when that retailer is Nintendo themselves
So decided on a last minute team change…originally my 5th Sun team member was going to be Sensu Oricorio but I have decided to catch Vulpix and trade for a Sandshrew so that I can use Alolan Sandshrew in my Sun play through and Crabominable in my Moon play through…can’t use it in my Sun play through as i don’t like to double up on my type’s and my final team member would do just that!
OMG you’re up to where you catch Vulpix!! What can I trade you for one?? (I sadly am not up to Alola Sandshrew yet >.<)
Actually nvm it’s way too much of a hassle xD I want a female and nickname too xD
Tell you what..when i get there if I come across a female then ill grab one for you 🙂
Oh thank you!! :0 ^_^
Not quite yet…. just made the decision that that’s what i’m going to do after seeing the GTS availability.
Ahh!
And Jeff now has his Rowlet! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6045dd4b9056b999afc2f2358a7d5fabbb3aa7b97985961a7111f850d0eaf805.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5062ab3711f675ebd5ba78e62529ed784e82bfd87bda1dc3e8344452953687cc.jpg
Has anyone else seen a lot of female Rowlets they picked?
is the game challenging enough if you have the exp share turned on?
I think so
Yes
Honestly every time I look for something I cant find it but once I find it there are tons
Hello Morelull! Goodbye Whimsicott! XD
Mew’s Z-move Genesis Supernova it will activate Psychic Terrain after the attack this is crazy.
has anyone have his exp share turned off? and if yes tell me please if the trainers and the kahunas are overleveled.
I have it on and have not rushed through the game at all and I am not overleveled..only have 4 Pokemon on my team so far and i have found bits to be quite challenging!
I lost to the school teacher the first time and won against Illima with like 1hp left, so far its been pretty decently difficult Id say too
I turned it off and suffered in Ilima’s hands. LOL
LOL so it’s too challenging if you turn it off.
Ok so I’ve decided to drop midnight Lycanroc since I’m playing Sun and don’t feel like waiting on my little bro to get me one. So I’m gonna use Minior instead. And I’ve given up looking like Ms Marvel. So I’m just gonna be a cute hipster.

Aw, but kamala
Haha once I’ve beaten the game I will assess if it’s possible. But the distinct lack of blue isn’t helping.
True. There weren’t any blue or green clothes in hau’oli city. Hopefully there are later on…
There’s blue stuff, don’t worry. I’ve seen it.
And if not in the second island shops, in guests at Festival Plaza.
Drumroll please

Status Update
Incineroar 34
Lycanroc 29
Mudbray 28
Crabrawler 27
Wimpod 25
My team finally finished the last of the Akala Trials and to fight the Kahuna Olivia on a Three on Three match, one by one Olivia’s Rock Types proved more defensive then expected
It was down to Torracat and his most despised rival Lycanroc, Torracat held its ground hoping it not to lose to yet another Lycanroc; Pitting speed to speed and power to percision, but every attack was countered with greater power…
Torracat was not going to lose again! It’s flame sack burnt brighter then ever! Flames began to engulf Torracat’s body as it was consumed by the fiery vortex!
RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRR
the flames died down and standing before everyone was a towering Crimson Pokemon with a malicious look in its eye…Incineroar
With great power Incineroar began using Shadow Claw to dice Lycanroc to bits but just kept cackling, in retaliation Lycanroc sends pillars of Stone edge, but was masterful dodged and on the very tallest pillar standing triumphantly, Incineroar leaps into the the air with outstretched Arms in a corkscrew motion into a full force body slam!!!!
Lycanroc was defeated….. As the battle died out…..Incineroar was not satisfied….He wanted more…..
Hatched my Lvl: 1 Alolan Sandshrew so going to go back and battle the Trial Captains now to level it up before going for the 6th Trial!
Aegislash is currently dancing all over the Gen 7 mons.
Go Pheromosa
Aegislash: Lol
Go Tapu (insert name):
Aegislash: Lol
Adrenaline Orb is now available in stores!
So I guess it’s completing the Fire-type Trial that does it, for the curious.
Where is Minior found?
Hokulani mountain
freaking masked royal just suggested a foursome… this game… omg
omg Hau reacted to it… they meant what they said… wtf
“So! What do you think of the largeness of my area?” -Hiker
I thought you could find crabrawler in berry patches? Or can you not find one on route 2?
you can in the berry tree piles, but its random.
Oh. How do you get them to respawn?
I wanna say time. I went back to MeleMele this morning after having left last night and they were back. Kind of frustrating…..
No idea, I’d assume time. I’ve only encountered one so far out of like 5 trees.
They respawn daily.
Would saving before them and soft-resetting work?
Well I’m not sure about that but if I run into some berries I will try if it’s fixed.
D:
I want one but I don’t want to wait.
Changing the 3DS date locks you out of events for 24 hours so that wouldn’t work… you’re better off just going to GTS or getting one from one of us here at PJN…
Well I’ve officially given up on finding Crabrawler myself. gone through 4 distinct trees and even went back to the 3 on MeleMele, but it was for not. so this will be my team now! New members being Mudsdale and Ninetails lol
Would you like one, I have a couple of extras…
Thanks, but ts one of those things where I want it for myself b or not at all. I mean ill get one eventuall, but I think I may be happier this way lol
You’ll get it tomorrow…
I have two. lol If I get a third can offer one to you. Need two so I can evolve one and have them for my living dex.
Geez, I must have insane luck. Every berry tree excluding the one in the berry farm. I hate this thing keeps spawning, I just want my berries dammit.
Oh my god you suck so much hahahahaha
I found Crabrawler first try… I K.O.’d it for experience
Trial 2 complete! My little Brionne pup put the hurt on them.
Anyone who is still playing gen 6, I have 2 spare 6IV Male Feebas if anyone wants them.
oh my god the collector trainer class looks like Chadtronic
Dunno who that is, but I was actually thinking they looked like Ronaldo from Steven Universe. haha
YES FINALLY PICHU HAS EVOLVED!!!!!
Yay. What level?
20. 20 long levels
That’s about as long as it took mine. At least you have nasty plot now.
Anyone still looking for a crabrawler? I just caught one
I am.
I can confirm that changing the date does absolutely nothing.
Do I have your friendcode already? I’ll gladly trade you one
I’d like to catch one on my own to use one on my team with my OT, but thanks for the offer! ^_^
Also I think we’ve exchanged codes, not sure though.
I know where to catch it if you want me to tell
Okay so i just lost against Totem Mimikyu….with Haunter AND Gengar!! EVIL!!
Totem Gumshoos was super hard (I’m only on route 3).
Mimikyu copied my Tsareena’s Trop Kick then Haunter knocked it out… i got Primarina in and knocked ouyt Haunter then Mimikyu used Trop Kick and 2HKO’d it and then my Salazzle and Charjabug fell when it called out Gengar!! PURE EVIL!
While I did get beat by the Normal Trial Captain due to not being ready for Smeargle’s Leafage, these games really haven’t offered any challenge. Luckily I play to pretend to be a Pokémon trainer not for a challenge and this game is excelling at that. haha
Most people are finding it a little challenging. Maybe you’re just too good
lol yea totally.
It’s definitely not as painfully easy as XY.
So the third trial actually was really hard for me. It was the first fight where I had to use a Z-more in order to beat it, and even then like two pokemon went down to that photogenic lizard. Also yay for the Cameo that follows shortly after it.
To those who have it, how hard is is the game so far?
Much Much harder than XY, not as Hard as Gen 1-2 etc I would say on par with DPPt and BWB2W2
There’s flashes of difficulty. You’d get surprised once in a while.
I think it’s difficult enough that there will be high body counts especially in Nuzlockes where you sometimes can’t get exactly what you need to defeat the trials/totems.
Pretty difficult without EXP share
Eevee called for help and I got an Espeon <3 I love this mechanic, but hate it as well.
oh WOW!
Progress Update (Pokemon Sun)!
Just completed the 6th Trial (it was HARD!).
I have 9 Z Stones (11 including Pikanium and Primarium) and this is my team so far:
Primarina Lvl: 39
Charjabug Lvl: 38
Salazzle Lvl: 38
Tsareena Lvl: 38
Alolan Sandshrew Lvl: 27
How is charjabug doing, if I may ask?
Pretty decent actually and Grubbin was not bad either… leaps and bounds beyond any early bug since…EVER! Of course you cant really compare it with Caterpie, Wurmple etc
It’s a bit of a pain that you cant evolve into Vikavolt until the final island but Charjabug is managing fine for now!
Cool 🙂 I switched to cutiefly cause I was afraid it’d be hard to use it, but this is good news
Headcanon: Sophocles = young Earthen. Fails to become a Kahuna. Feels spurned by his dedication to his Electric Pokémon. Dedicates life to their greatest weakness: Ground. And now angry all the time.
What are you talking bout guy
Just making shit up
Where do you change hair styles
There’s one on Hau’oli City right next to the clothes shop.
TY
YES!! Caught a crabrawler!!
About to fight Hala, was the battle hard?
It wasn’t too tough for me, although one of his Pokemon did one shot my Trumbeak.
Team:
Rowlet LV 16
Oricorio LV 14
Crabrawler LV 9
I swept him with Dartrix. you’ll be fine, probably.
I’m wondering if I should evolve Rowlet first; I’m worried that it’ll go to LV 18 and I’ll miss moves.
Is anyone else surprised by a pokemon that was just supposed to be filler in their team? like Alolan Grimer actually saved me a few times
Lol yeah. Alolan grimer saved me during that first battle with Smeargle. I had only caught it for my living dex
Same
I caught Alolan meowth to fill out my dex and fell in love with it.
But sadly, I knew it couldn’t last, it just doesn’t have a place on my team.
I had alolan meowth too but he has seen been boxed, but alolan grimer is still with me currently
I’ve still been using mine past the third trial. its actually pretty useful with fakeout and swift.
Alolan Meowth man. It was so good, outclassing most of the island 1 “fillers” except probably Magnemite.
Unlike ithsme, it is still on my team.
Is anyone else using the EXP Share? It seems to have been nerfed a bit
Not risking it.
The switch back to Gen V style EXP yield has done that…higher level Pokemon gain less EXP than lower levelled Pokemon depending upon the level of the Pokemon you beat.
I’m using it and still struggling
I’m using it to level up lower level Pokemon since I still don’t know what my final team is gonna be.
I’m using it. There’s still difficulty. 🙂
So i’m kind of in love with Pokepelgo.
When do you get access?
After 4th trial, the same time you get Charizard ride, and unlock Adrenaline Orbs in shop.
What’s your playtime and where are you?
Playtime: 7:38
Place: Route 3
Playtime: 23:30
Place: Lush Jungle (just finished 5th trial, grand trials included)
9:08
Route 8, coming up on the 4th trial
Playtime: 6:52
Place: Melemele Meadow
12:23. Post-Battle Royal intro pre-3rd Trial. Exploring the island and buildings before going.
honestly I thought I was going at a slow pace, but apparently not, all you guys have played more but are behind me, except malco
Heh heh heh. I’m taking it real slow. Been breeding copies of Popplio and trading it out on the GTS. 🙂
Haha yea I’m taking a long long time. Int defense one of my friends came over last night to play and we ended up talking a lot so that ran the clock up. And then we tried to multitask and throw Netflix on and that was distracting as well.
Current Team:
Brionne Lv. 27
Kadabra Lv. 26
Charjabug Lv. 25
Salandit Lv. 18
Just finished the third trial
Well ain’t that a F*cking coincidence wanted to see Orocorio for my Dex and I find Butterfree that 19% less of a chance of finding compared to Orocorio
I spent an 30 mins looking for my orocorio
All I need is to see Caterpie then I’ve seen everything but Orocorio
Found it!
OMFG I CAN’T STAND SOS BATTLES!!! I found a Shiny Magby, and it keeps calling for help, so I can’t throw a damn ball!!!
I hate but love this mechanic.
FINALLY!!! I caught it 😀 WOW, was not expecting that, all I was doing was training up Salandit :0
These low encounter rates are fun, and also a pain. Because you take the time to explore and search.
Dragon Rage on Salandit is so OP early in the game
Dragon rage is a broken move so is Quick Attack in early game
Especially when using the SOS mechanic to get a female :O
Should….should I pet it
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5d606e28bae64cf681bf6590175a98fd57f0cd548fb5f9137a3af46a7b1bb6cb.jpg
Wait is that shiny?!
Yes
*gives it a gentle pat*
HISSSSSSSSSSS
*Slashes me*
No, its not. Shiny is white and red
I answered to Earthen not Starstorm
http://i.imgur.com/Gai7e1f.jpg
Now I’m torn, do I use Salandit who I’ve been wanting to use, or do I switch to using Magby?? :0
Pink Magmortar 🙂
I think so!! Thank you ^_^
Salandit.
I must say, I’m really enjoying being attentive to my living dex during my playthrough. Instead of just spamming Ultra Balls at everything I get to utilize whatever make most sense based on what I have at the moment. Repeat Balls are bae right now.
Also random question: So we know if Net Balls are doubly effective on Dewpider and Wimpod?
They previously weren’t “4x” on Surskit, but they might have changed that.
Not that it’s unheard of, far from it, but I caught a Dewpider at perfect health with one Net Ball so then it made me question that.
Woooooh. Filler pokemon Steenee and Mushroom Guy pulling through for me against Wishiwashi!
Wait. Did you trade for that Steenee?
Yeah. There is an NPC who trades one for Lilipup
Yea ok. Just making sure. I didn’t want their nickname or OT on it so I declined.
My morelull destroyed that totem
Does anyone here have little siblings?
Yep
I have two. My little brother in 16 in high school right now and I can hear his music that he’s shower singing to right now lol (I still live with the fam.) But it’s almost all music he’s picked up from being influenced by me. And same with his Pokémon love. Gives me anxiety sometimes being so influential on a person’s life.
I have a brother
I am eldest of my kin
The other two is a hyper political asshole pothead, and the other is a tween misanthrope with literally devoid of emotion
I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall at your family gatherings.
Yo, back with another question for my adventure. Where or how do we get more Pokebeans that we use in Pokémon Refresh? I am starting to run out of them. Also, the first Mudbray I caught had light clay, so if you are looking for that item, you should try catching Mudbrays.
Pokepelago will have a ton of beans that regenerate after a while. Also you can get coffee/tea/cocoa from the Pokemon Centers and they give out beans once a day.
Thanks, do you mean the cafes at the Pokémon centers?
Yep the cafes. 🙂
Yea I just confirmed it. They have given me a lot actually, so far each of the times I have talked to them they have given me a rare candy.
Also where and how do Pokepelagos become available? Sorry for the many questions.
Pokepelago becomes available after Kiawe’s fire trial along with Charizard ride.
Well i don’t arrive in Alola until wednesday currently packing my suitcase in Kanto
not looking forward to Comfey hunting :c
The Zubat line should have got Alolan forms. It’s the typical rodent/pest animal that would make sense as an Alolan form. Also it would keep Team Skull from using stale as hell Zubats all the time
But I guess they couldnt do it cos Crobat is Gen 2
What would they even change into
Did anyone else get their starter Pokemon at the peak of usable level (35) before the battle with the Rock Kahuna?
mines like 5 levels off, so I’m assuming it will evolve after the battle
I keep using my water Pokemon Poplin which led to it evolving RIGHT before the 2nd kahuna.
yeah I only use Brionne if I have to because I didn’t want it to be overpowered compared to my others, but my morello just evolved and my cutiefly did too
Hey, do you know where I can catch Bounsweet or its egos?
Tsareena must have a giant ego
I mean evolution.
Lush Jungle West side only 40% chance encounter rating
Oh ok thank you.
you can get one in a trade for a lillipup near where they are caught in the pokemon centre
Now that Generation 7 is officially out, what is your fav to least fav Generation?
Gen. 7

Nice!
Wait Gen 7 is low?
Compared to other Generations yes. Not to say it’s bad in any way…
Time to hunt for Salandits!
Time to hunt for Bounsweets!
oh that was fast
I want to hunt for comfy but Lurantis keeps massacring my team lol
The Lurantis battle was one of the most difficult battles I’ve ever faced!
my grimer and oricorio killed it so easily when I did kill it, but before that it was like murdering me
It took me two hours to find a female. And it was brave :/ I just used it because I wanted to keep playing. I only have a couple more levels before it evolves and I can’t wait cause it does so easily lol
It’s funny how being older and actually using pseudo-competitive strategies in-game rather than just using brute force and ignoring status moves like a kid (at least that’s what I used to to) makes the games really more enjoyable, and in part makes up for the loss of childhood immersion. It also means you can appreciate in-game trainer strategies.
I’m finally finishing my diamond version while waiting for SM to be out here (don’t ask, I’m the kind of person who follows pokémon news everyday but never found the time to finish a game I’d started between Emerald and Y, despite buying at least one game of every version pair-I wanted to finish them all before SM comes out to have a living dex and finally transfer over my pokémon, but I’ve only had time to do VC Yellow and some heavy grinding in diamond), and I’m really enjoying fighting the gym leaders, especially if I get in an RP 3v3 mindset.
I just defeated Fantina with Driblim lv33, Vespiquen lv34, and Toxicroak lv37. We started out with Drifblim v drifblim, and as I started setting up some stockpiles to boost my defenses and prepare for an eventual heal, she started minimising over and over and by the time I started attacking I kept missing. I did manage to chip her into the red with ominous wind and payback, but she used a hyper potion and by that time I’d already healed and lost my buffs, so I decided to stop wasting time and punish her haxxy insolence with Toxicroak. Two feint attacks quickly burst that balloon. Then it was onto mismagius v vespiquen, and my first instinct, to toxic it, was a good one, because then it just spammed confuse ray and so I had to haphazardly try and heal and chip a few power gems in while it just repeadtedly attacked and confused. Once that screeching pain was down, gengar didn’t last long against ominous wind from a stockpiled drifblim. Battles like this really do give you a sense of accomplishment compared to one-shotting the E4’s teams in Y….
I caught a wimpod :3
I love the EXP share, because of it I was able to evolve Pokemon without even using them XD
Wow Bounsweet is 100% always Female I already wanted female so it all works out
WHY IS PRIMARINE NOT FEMALE!? Seriously the male-looking Pokemon are female and vies-versa on my team ugh….
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c4f4cc81d6dbdcd73dd235fa7f3b29df33963ca34c3fdc627a12246f039878d2.jpg
I’m still sticking that it’s a girl and the male symbol is fraud! It’s a sterilized Pokemon, can’t make children!
Mines Female on try one
I thought my Popplio was shiny, dang. I hope that I get a good random shiny.
My third SS play through I found as my first find on the second route (when you can catch things) A shiny Weedle
I don’t want to soft rest anyways so meh it doesn’t matter.
Anyone have any good Salazzle nicknames?
I came up with sédfeur A combination of the french word for seduce(séduire) and fire (feu)
How do you get to Lush Jungle again?! I forgot!
Does anyone have a list of what the haircuts look like? I entered the haircut shop and now leaving isn’t an option.
If I have to change I want it to look good.
One sec I have links to them lemme find em

Great thanks!
How do you get to Lush Jungle?
the main quest takes you there don’t worry
I already finished that part of the story and never mind I rewound it.
YES!!! just got my 4th permanent team member! Lilo the Comfey
LOVE THE NICKNAME <3
You better name Mimikyu Stich like I am
Im so upset that I have to give up my oricorio but its spot is solidified on my moon team
Anyone notice that Baby-Doll Eyes has Espurrs eyes XD
Espurr cant be caught! I bet all the Espurr eyes were taken out.
Wait which area is Bounsweet in? The area surrounding the tree or the tall grass?
Is the only way to get Crabbrawler is from the Berries mix?
Yup. It’s random and it takes time to get the berries back under the tree. How much time? Who knows, but either way it’s annoying lol
I caught him the 2nd time I searched the berries lol no worry for me!
My brother and I had a plan to battle after each kahuna, but he’s way behind and I just beat Hala.
Can anyone explain how you save teams as QRs? Does it have something to do with the teams in the PC? It would be greatly appriciated, I’ve haven’t been able to find any info on it.
I just beat him too hey wanna battle Isthme?!
Cleared the first grand trial in 9 hours 11 minutes.
Time to backtrack and collect items now that I have Tauros.
I feel sorry for people that hunted for a female Salandit next to the volcano. They have a much higher encounter rate on Route 8 immediately after the third trial in the patch of grass next to the Aether Foundation trailer.
Thanks for the heads up lol
Yea it was supposed to double as a heads up. But I really do pity the people who hunted at the volcano. My friend being one of them.
Found one a female after like, 3 minutes 😛
Nice!
Uhg, not enough trainers to grind Salandit up >.<
Oh! Thunder Stone behind the Dream Park trailer off of Route 8.
Wait so was the “ten carat hill outskirts” made up for the demo? I can’t find such an area on melemele.
I was thinking the same
That sucks, it was such a cool area IMO.
I’m enjoying Z moves more than I thought I would. I’m only using them in wild battles to make things tougher, but they’ve grown on me there.
So can we not go into that huge building in hau’oli city? I thought it would be a department store or something..
Woah Formantis can also be found on Route 5!
My friend went to GameStop today to go and buy Pokemon Moon, but it was sold out. So she went to Best Buy and it was sold out. She tried Walmart and it was sold out. She went to Toys R Us and it was sold out. She went to Meijer and they finally had it… She snap-chatted the whole event and I’m dying of laughter! xD
Hey does affection wear off if you put it in the PC?
Alright I rarely say this but I ship Acerola and Lillie
The very second she calls Lillie “Princess” I was like….yep she wants her
Lillie is so obviously into the player character
When you have major second thoughts and reset your save file ?
How far were you into the game?
I had just finished the first trial with about 5 hours of gameplay. Popplio just wasn’t working for the team dynamic I was going for, so I’ve reset for Rowlett now!
What level was your team at during the 4th trial? I’m curious because I feel half of my team of underleveled
I would say mid 20’s at highest, and you’ll be fine.
My friend and I stayed up until 5AM before resting a couple hours and playing even more. We both have about 14 hours of gameplay time, and I just made it to the observatory. My thoughts: Sun and Moon are amazing games that bring my childhood dreams to life and will certainly be played for a long time.
I love how Z-Stones act as Gym Badges but with a purpose
I thought the Stamps were Gym Badges.
I mean I guess they are but the Z-Stones give you more items and people react to them like they would Gym Badges
Fair enough.
Also fun fact. In Gen 1-3 the badges actually boosted the stats of all your Pokemon in-game.
Oh wow didn’t know that
I do too
Call it a quirk but I’m oddly fascinated and drawn to colorful symbols and sigils
http://img01.deviantart.net/5b7e/i/2016/158/1/d/skylanders_elemental_gems_by_xelku9-d83r4w4.png
Well badges did let us use HMs and train higher levelled traded pokémon, hell in gen I they even gave you permament stat boosts, so they did have some use…
But I do agree, this is much better gameplay design, and it actually feels organic rather than nonsensical (see the Adventures manga’s amusingly confused attempt at rationalising gym badges as objects of power…)
Just finished Lana’s trial. Man she’s so horny!!! It was so funny lol Anyway I cna’t believ I only just finished my second regular trial! I feel like I’ve been playing forever. I guess that just shows how big these games are lol I’m enjoying this so much. My team is currently
Torracat lvl 20
trumbeak lvl 20
Charjabug lvl 21
Mudbray lvl 18
Now I gotta get my Mareanie and I’ll be set for a little while. I’m having such a blast with this!! hahaha
Those evil evil Starfish
So how does a Z-Move False Swipe work?
Also what pokemon can learn False Swipe that are around level 15?
The earliest natural learner you can get seems to be Cubone, but it doesn’t learn it until Lv 27. Not sure what Z-False Swipe does, but the damage is 100 bp.
After looking it up on what other people are saying I think it loses it’s effect and just KO’s the opponent if it can.
Nintendo shipped 10 million copies worldwide for Sun/Moon, the largest for any Nintendo games and according to how many stores have already reported the games (both versions) being sold out, one can expect the games to be the first Nintendo/Pokemon games in a VERY LONG time to cross the 20 million threshold.
Can you make or find a graph showing all their selling?
@Ithsme wanna battle? we both just beat Hala so we are pretty close to same area
My team:
– Primarina
– Salazzle
– Oricorio (I want Sensu, but I still haven’t gotten the nectar for that yet)
– Lurantis
– Lycanroc (Sun)
Want:
– Wishiwashi
– Kommo-o
– Tsareena
I can help you find Wishiwashi and Tsarina.
WishiWashi; Located in area of Water Trial.
Tsareena; Located as Bounsweet in Western area of Lush Jungle.
Bounsweet is also available as a trade option infront of the Water Trisl in the Pokemon Center for a Lilipup.
But I don’t think it’ll be a good one.
Shiny Hunting for Cutiefly time!
Can a Pokemon still call allies if Paralyzed?
in my experience, no
Alright I wasn’t sure if I should Paralyze it or not
Mudsdale used Heavy Slam

The worst part is, If you applied real-world physics to how pokémon moves seem to work or are described to work, this is pretty much accurate…
Also not for nothing Mudsdale weighs at least 2030lbs so anything underneath Mudsdale using Heavy Slam……lets just say every bone and fluid in your body will have an….out of body experience
But no, somehow in the pokémon universe it’s either cartoon physics or pokémon are absolute experts at controlling the intensity of their power…
I mean most Pokemon wild or not keep to themselves and don’t go around smashing or torching everything in sight unless provoked
So I wanted to ask around
Anybody have any little stories of team Pokemon evolving?
I.e. My Rockruff evolved fighting a Trainer’s Sylveon, Torracat vs Olivia’s Lycanroc, and my Wimpod being chased down by a swarm of Araqunid
My Pikipek evolved fighting a Gumshoos on the first Trial (not the Totem Gumshoos) and Litten fighting Hala. 🙂
Ok… 4th trial is tough.
Emergency Exit won’t trigger if a Pokemon calls for help. That’s somewhat interesting, I wonder why?
Emergency Exit is perfect with First Impression ….but sometimes it gonna be annoying.
I’m excited to try it out, having finally decided to add Golisopod to my team 🙂
I did in showdown.
I want my first battles with the new ‘mon to be in game. It’s more special to me that way.
Agree but I don’t have the game yet actually I don’t have 3ds yet.
Well I don’t have the game either. Maybe you should get a 2DS instead as it’s cheaper?
I’m a bit overleveled for my second trial, so I boxed all my Pokemon, except Charjabug, and switched them for weak ones so I can level them up. Cutiefly is amazing <3
Alola PJ community
After 17 hours of game play, I can now say that Pokemon Sun is my favourite Pokemon title.
17 hours?
I just got to Akala and my play time is 10 hours 34 minutes.
I haven’t beaten it yet, I just finished the seventh trial, but so far its the ultimate Pokemon experience
So, I have to check the berries on the ground to Crabrawler appear? That’s how it works? Cause I’m SR on front of the berries and checking it and nothing happens.
It may be set for that day regardless of whether you SR or not. If I could test it I would. Perhaps someone else could try?
That’s some rough luck :/ I’ve found Crabrawler under almost every berry pile.
I’ve seen 5 piles of berries and 2 of those piles have already respawned since I’ve picked them and not a single one had a Crabrawler.. just my luck
I’m about to face Olivia. The 3rd trial was so easy, but it did make me laugh out loud. I wasn’t expecting the Marowak dances to end like that xD
But did anyone else struggle with Mallow’s trial? Thanks to sunlight, the totem took out two of my Pokémon! Including my Snorlax, who got the benefits of being maxed out in Pokémon Refresh.
AHAHAAAHHHHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
I’m purposely answering Sophicles questions wrong so his security system shocks him MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAH
I wish I knew about that
Avoiding any and all use of Refresh like the plague…I hate how once your Pokémon’s affection goes up, it’s permanent and you start receiving exp boosts and all the other stuff. While maybe good for some, I’m trying to avoid making the game extra easy for myself LOL
After just the fist trial, I like them much more than I thought I would 🙂
My lv. 22 Crabrawler just one-shotted the Totem Wishiwashi. Too OP.
Emergency Exit : “When the Pokémon’s Hit Points it 50% or less, the Pokémon will switch out. Works once per battle”, can anyone confirm this? If you heal it it can’t work again?
Great, I’m getting down-voted to hell on Reddit for trying to defend the developers from people who are butthurt about Alolan Marowak.
-_-
Why are they complaining?
It doesn’t get shadow bone without a heart scale. I get it, it sucks considering it’s a signature move, but people are saying GF should fire whoever made Alolan Marowak because of one silly thing.
How far in is the Move Re-Learner? It will get it eventually, they have other options until then right?
Right. I’m not sure about the move relearner, but still, GF made these beautiful, amazing games for you, and you’re saying they should fire the developers?? I mean seriously, how much more immature can you get?
It’s one of my favourite Alolan Forms. It’s only one move, it has plenty of moves to use that work just fine. The fact of the amount of work that goes into these games can’t possibly be discarded by any rationally minded person over the age of 8 right? There are many things I dislike from what I’ve seen, like stats, movepools etc but I’m still glad we are still getting new games, and that they are trying to be innovative whilst delivering a game with enough familiarity as not to alienate existing fans.
Very well said, I’m glad somebody is overlooking a minor inconvenience and truly appriciating the games.
I couldn’t agree more. 🙂
I mean I’ll appreciate them more when I can actually play one, still 4 days to go, depending on of it’s delivered upon release over here.
Either way, I’m glad you agree.
The move relearner is in Mount Lanakila’s Pokemon centre, so it’s really late game.
Thanks, that’s good to know. It was quite late game in XY, but ORAS was only Fallarbor.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
I like Alolan Marowak, its cool
So my team is currently:
Brionne lvl 33
Bounsweet lvl 19
Four trials finished. haha My PokéDex is looking great though!
Crabrawler LV 15
Dartrix LV 17
Oricorio LV 17
About to enter Paniola town.
Sédfeur – Salandit Lv.24
Venus – Brionne Lv27
Loaf – Pikachu Lv25
Bouncee – Steenee Lv.23(Unsure if I will keep it or with it out with a different Bounsweet/Formantis)
You know what my vote is for. 😛
Loaf! Yas!
30+ cutieflies already o.o
Where do you get adrenaline orb?
You are able to buy them after the fire trial
Oohh
I have leveled up Salandit one from so many Level 8-10 cutieflies
Do you have to keep using Adrenaline Orbs through the battle?
You can only use it once. The Orb just makes the chance of it calling allies higher. So you could technically shiny hunt without it but its easier with the orb
Oh OK, I wasn’t sure if it had an in-battle limit, or if it was like Repels or O-Powers.
Hau: Hey Lusamine, your pretty successful for someone so young.
Lusamine: i’m actually 40.
Hau: wait, really?
Lusamine: -cold stare-
And Hau was never seen again.
God I love this game.
Salazzle is… really weird
You getting “The Feelings”?
What no that thing’s a lizard
With a sleek curvaceous figure
I love how often you get to battle notable characters, it makes it feel like there’s always something going on.
Why didn’t Hau use a z move in the Paniola city battle? He was bragging about it and all, so it seems weird.
Developer oversight maybe?
Could be.
Anybody else notice how enthusiastically EVERYBODY puts their hands on their hips in this game? Such a weird little detail 😛
NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I JUST KILLED BOTH OF THE CUTIEFLY NO. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How? Did you accidentally use a spread move?
I DONT KNOW WHAT I DID. I WAS USING THE SAME MOVE I ALWAYS WAS THEN SUDDENLY BOTH DIED LIKE I GUESS I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION BUT AHHHGGG
Sorry that happened. Can you start again easily?
Yeah, but I had a chain of 40. I probably would’ve been shiny soon
look at the bright side
maybe the shiny you would have got in this chain would have had a lax nature
Equally you could get one in the next 10 you do. Or you could’ve chained 400 and not gotten one. I DexNav’d 796 Ditto in Omega before I got my Imposter Shiny.
Awwwwwwwww Minior self destruct
I want to have a whole collection
At least it wasn’t a shiny 😮
That would’ve scorned
I have an affinity for Black colored Shiny Pokemon
Charizard….well they’re grey purple nowadays
Camerupt
Haxorus
Palossand
Minior
IMHO Greninja does it best
That one is my least favorite black shiny lol
Shiny Mega Gardevoir wore it best imo
Is it just me or are good natures easier to come by this gen? The natures I’ve been getting were pretty much all the ones I want with the exception of my Rash Mareanie
I know all of you are ahead of me so far (I haven’t even done the first trial :P), so how’s the story shaping up? Is it better than X/Y’s?
Also I’m liking the difficulty in this. I lost to Ilima twice!
I haven’t even gotten into the story and it’s already better than X&Y
It’s good but I’m salty so I cant really be too descriptive
Why ya salty? lol
Lost my Cutiefly chain of around 40 🙁
Gotcha. Yea. That sucks a lot.
I’m nearing Mallow’s trial on Akala island and the plot’s been pretty much non-existent up to this point. I do feel that thing’s are about get interesting, though, since the Aether foundation has begun to appear.
Welp time to grind like cray and get Steenee caught up.
For anyone struggling with Mimikyu, I hear Skill Link can be helpful.
Ok screw the shiny cutiefly I just wanna play the game and catch something else
Best left for post game 🙂
So apparently Transform-Z transforms Ditto into a gigantic muerderous version of the Pokemon it copies
Confusion was nerfed, from 50% chance of self-damage to 33% or so. Starting to wonder if status moves are worthwhile or pretty much only useful as secondary effects.
I think status conditions work best as secondary effects personally. Makes it feel more like a natural part of the game rather than a trolly alt-win condition way of play.
Trouble is some Pokémon only function well at all because of them. If you remove them from these Pokémon and force them to rely on secondary effect moves they will become pretty much impossible to use well.
I don’t disagree.
what does this do the parafusion chance?
Don’t know, but with nerf to both Paralysis and Confusion you can expect a higher chance of movement from the one affected.
well it was 75% so we just need to recalculate it…
if the paralysis chance is the same it would be 25%+33%=58 so a little less than 3 in 5…
Anyone else loving Refresh? I know it’s just Amie with status curing and push notifications, but those two are really encouraging my appreciation for it.
Saves me money so I can buy clothes. So yeah I love it haha
Guys who got the game did you stick to your planned teams? I planned and planned but in the end I didn’t stick to any of my plans lolololol. I used great Pokemons over my journey so far and boxed them after a while including Wishwashi, Gumshoos. My team is going to keep getting these replacements expect for 2 members: Primarina and A Grimer.
My current team in Sun
Primarino lvl 38 (I love this Pokemon dearly. Gonna keep Incineroar for physical Pokemon moon)
A Persian lvl 32 (suprsingly good flinch troll with fake out and bite technican boost)
Alolan Grimer lvl 37 (this thing is a beast)
Lycanroc lvl 35
Mudsdale lvl 32
gonna trade a haunter for a Graveler
And to those who are still waiting to play these games,
it’s going to be AWESOME!
Only change is Minior over Lycanroc
Ok anybody met Acerola? Because I’m 100% sure she’s lezing Lillie
First she calls her “Princess” and now going clothes shopping
Back me up here
I’d be more concerned about their ages and how aggressively she is pursuing her than sexuality.
I thought the girl with the Mudsdale liked Lillie too but not in that way
sometimes our brains need https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b261b06cad3b9be90b66e09e431940ff14e66360e1b2068415ccf6edee5c5fd1.jpg
Women call each other princess and go shopping together all the time. What’s the big deal?
Is Toxapex a good pokemon to use in the game? I need a tank (people suggested mudsdale but I’m not really fan of ground types). I’m not mad that I didn’t get the game today as I should’ve and that I now have to wait till Monday because it actually motivates me to study so I can play all day monday and tuesday x)
I heard its a really good tank but good luck catching that demon with 1% spawn rate
*stars to pray*
20% if on a bubble apparently in the sea, and 5% on route 9…
What was that lady and her Machamp at the cemitery?! And that music?! I’m fucking crying, thanks GameFreak. ???
Sub Coil Power Construct Zygarde is amazing right now. My favourite set. Beats the omnipresent Aegislash, Genesect and Toxapex with ease. Also beats Pheromosa if it’s already behind a sub.
Is there a hidden trainer on Route 8? The ace trainer won’t fight me
I thought i was the only one who cant get the ace trainer to battle…
I thought i was going to be disappointed that there werent any gyms in this gen but surprisingly enough these games are difficult without them. Ive gone through a few changes in my team and i must say Mallow’s Totem was by far the hardest and most annoying totem fight so far. Am i the only one who loves Team skull? From their dialogue to their battle music which sounds like Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park… they are so much better than Team Flare
Current Team:
Dartrix lv: 29
Riombee lv: 26
Trumbeak lv: 27
Stufful lv: 23 (originally crabrawler)
Salandit lv: 24 (originally A. Grimer but i wanted fire coverage although A. Grimer with poisonous touch is amazing!)
Mudbray lv: 27
Yay! I now have my Alolan Raichu!
My condolences
No I like it hes cute
He fat….
Dem pancakes man…
I wish I could find a tasteful blob Alolan Raichu
It eats pancakes day and night
So an Alolan PIcklechu?
More like a immobile blob
I’m thinking of using Araquanid despite already having a bug type due to Mareanie’s BULLSHIT Probability, Opinions?
It isn’t too hard to find. Just use the Adrenaline Orb and you will find it fairy quickly I believe
I’m more Concerned since I Already have an Araquanid AND CAN’T BUY ORBS.
So I just defeated a Shiinotic and went to care for my pokemon expecting it to be Raichu but it was the Wimpod I caught for the dex and he was just looking at me like “HEAL ME MASTER”
XD…
Mareanie’s appearance method gives me nightmares of trying to understand shaking grass in gen 5…
RELATIVELY RARE EVENT, BUT EVERYTHING IS CRAP AND IS LIKE 5% EXCEPT FOR ONE THING WHICH IS 70% AND IS OFTEN AUDINO.
Makes me think of 1% white Flabébé and 4% Orange
The Grass is worse, it’s a 5% chance of something in a 1% encounter that can be missed.
I honestly never had many struggles finding what I needed in Unova
Well that’s because most things in shaking grass were pieces of crap, which makes me more angry.
Ugh! The animation in the Sun/Moon anime looks so good! I’m so happy they got a new head of animation (which explains the difference in style) and hired new writers. 😀
The preview for Rowlet’s capture episode and the introduction of the Rotom dex has me hyped!
The Rotom dex will be kinda redundant in the anime since the dex talks already 😛
the name of the episode is the best though!
I imagine the Pokemon dex in the anime to be like Siri. On the other hand, the Rotom one is alive and capable of moving on its own and has its own free will like the backpack from Dora… Weird analogy, but that’s what comes to mind. xD
I want is it and Meowth to have a Rivalry.
I’m torn between Araquanid or Mareanie…
I already have another bug type and would like opinions on this.
I’m still stuck between Lurantis and Tsareena and I’m at the point where I have to choose .-.
I choose Lurantis even though Tsareena is apparently better due to Liking it’s design more.
Araquanide is AWESOME! The way it moves, its power (x2 for Water-type attacks before STAB), and general design is overwhelmingly amazing! I suggest Araquanide! <3
My Wimpod evolved trying to run…errrr “save us” from a Araqunid
It summoned 3 of them and my team was at a huge disadvantage
Will it work well with Vikivolt(eventually) because that’s my other bug, earlier I debated using Ribombee, But I’m already planning on mimikyu.
I was so surprised when the Lurantis used that solar blade move (I don’t know the actual name) and then it revealed it had Power Herb… poor Primarina! </3
Thats what its called actually. Solar Blade
Thanks! xD But man, that caught me off guard! These Totem Pokemon are tough little critters! And the story… SO GOOD! Lusamine’s basically the resting bitch face in human form… :/
I’m Suprised Game Freak actually did that, IT GIVES IT AN ACTUAL TINGE OF METAGAMEY DIFFICULTY.
So as I’m playing Pokemon Moon, and this NPC’s like, “Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree, etc etc. Why doesn’t it disguise itself as a tree from Alola?”. And I’m reading this and for the first time since I’ve started playing this, I’m taken out of the game. Maybe it was a way to cover their bases, maybe it was supposed to be a throwaway joke, but no, bringing it up makes me wonder… WHY THE HELL DIDN’T YOU MAKE AN ALOLAN SUDOWOODO THEN!? xDDD
Because Sudowoodo is from Kansai and the Eastern half of Chubu.
Original origin aside, my whole thing is Sudowoodo is like the first pokemon who’s whole concept was that it adapted to the environment to survive. Then Alola comes along where old pokemon have adapted to survive to the Alolan environment. They just seem made for each other.
maybe they were only recently introduced and then spread like wildfire? it’s an actual thing that happens.
I’ll accept that because it’s an explanation that quiets my addled mind lmao.
Ok I think I’m using Tsareena… now the question is should I catch my own Bounsweet or keep using this one without my OT I got from an in game trade? I mean I gotta grind a bit anyways for Olivia so….
Depends if you like the name, if you are OK with it getting boosted exp and if you don’t mind what nature, ball etc it has.
Get your own if you can… becaus you can’t nickname traded pokemon… but you can apparently nickname mystery gift pokemon now.
Yeah that’s kind of a wonderful addition to the game.
I already know what I’m naming the Box Legend though.
I’d catch my own, the in-trade Bounsweet in this game would overlevel fast… I feel like.
These Poke’dex entries are… morbid to say the least. Eating each other, drowning little Pokemon, stomping things to death, going on a rampage and basically killing everyone, seducing HUMANS and killing them? WTF GAMEFREAK?! WHO WROTE THESE AND HOW DID THEY PASS THE RATED-E FOR EVERYONE CRITERIA?!
They even call attention to one of them in one scene later in the story by reading Toxapex’s entry about leaving Corsola legs behind after feeding. The fuck? Lmao
If anything pokemon should be E10… For obvious reasons…
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/73fec0c05810565bf231a59953220429e5ffbdfbef4fa6ad923cdd56f925c839.jpg First Gen VII Shiny! ^-^
Lucky! I hope I get a good one for my first 🙂
I hope a bounty of miscolored pokemon find their way to your pokeballs =D
Better than a bounty of miscolred pokeballs finding their way into your pokemon.
It’s a mushroom! my second shiny in X was also a mushroom, I caught a shiny Hoppip before it though.
Maybe mushrooms are lucky o.o I was looking for an Oranguru and almost ran from this one before I noticed its colors were different
It would’ve been nice if they made it white and red polkadots to give a nod to Toad.
Ahhhh that would’ve been amazing!… And I now I have a nickname for him =P
I nicknamed him Toad too1 Darn, they should have given him a Mega and then it would become super similar to Toad. Its new move only available during mega would be Treasure Thumper.
YOOOOO!
Things I want in Gen 8:
TM01 to be a Punch again
QUASH TO STOP TAKING UP DRAIN PUNCH’S SLOT
Nasty Plot or Equivalent Sharply Raise Special Attack TM
MORE AND LARGER STAT BUFFS TO POKEMON THAT DESPERATELY NEED IT
IV’s determining stats.
MORE PUZZLES!
NO MORE BULL TM’S LIKE CONFIDE AND QUASH TAKING UP PERFECTLY GOOD TM SLOTS.
Maybe change some shiny colors to not be terrible and uninteresting.
More Regional Forms to offset the lack of new pokemon due to slowing down since there are OVER 800 OF THEM.
ADDING BACK SUPER TRAINING and KEEPING EVERYTHING FROM SUN AND MOON.
Quash can be useful in doubles. Confide is worthless though.
Yeah but it doesn’t really deserve it’s spot over DRAIN PUNCH.
Considering it’s main use is on Prankster Pokémon I’d agree. Also what did you mean by “IV’s determining stats”?, don’t they already do that?
meant to put not determining stats. I hate some pokemon being better than others due to a normally hidden value you have no control over, Hyper training is cool and all but the currency thing is stupid considering you already need to train it to 100 which is relatively difficult to do.
and I’m also angry at Struggle Bug Replacing Stealth Rock… although I can understand from a Balance Perspective.
Removing them could be done but it would greatly affect Trick Room ‘mon and how effective confusion and foul play damage are. Hidden Power could potentially be done by choice I guess, kind of defeats the purpose of it being Hidden though. I guess getting a random one and being able to change it could be OK.
Not Removing, just Basically making them a value for hidden power and not stats, so basically all stats are as if it has iv’s of 31… like hyper training’s thing but without the hassle of leveling to 100 or even just having hyper training but without the currency because getting a pokemon to 100 is pretty hard work.
The latter part would definitely be acceptable to me. Some Pokémon genuinely function best with 0 speed IV. Removing that could damage their usability and Trick Rooms use to an extent.
but seriously hyper training has 2 LUDICROUS, requirements, it should only have one or the other.
Ok cool. Caught a Bounsweet. Named it Matri. Aaaaand it’s rash… I’m oing to see if I can catch a better one
So Nanu..yeah just a tad morbid!
Now we have Evolution Moves …..for example u don’t heart scale to learn Incineroar Darkest Lariat he can learn it when it evolve no matter wat its level.
I learned this when Lycanroc evolved… and speaking of Lycanroc if this NS rumor is true do you think remove the version trigger for it evolving?
it will probably evolve based on time of day
honestly if they patched the game to change it to just that and to fix the fact that you can’t B when not learning a move as far as I’m aware.
I heard that too….speaking of Lycanroc did anybody notice that No guard night form is a freaking beast and kinda bulky.
Po Town is like something out of Pokemon Reborn…creepy!
Ok. Just watched the first two episodes of Sun and Moon. Damn. This is legit good. Really really enjoyable.
I’ve only seen the OP and Satoshi nearly getting Murdered by a Racoon/Bear/Toy/Thing?
My gosh I had to play Moon three times since I can’t save and didn’t get the right outfit or look for my trainer and I did Popplio twice and then Rowlett I’m so angry >:(
Why can’t you save?
I don’t know how to in Moon the highest point I could get is after the Illima battle with the grunts
press X, select Save, there are tabs to the menu this time and you can rearrange the buttons.
I’ll try
Isn’t it just on the menu with Pokémon, Bag etc?
If Sun and Moon Had DLC, Would you buy it?
Yep. As long as it was reasonably priced
Define Reasonable.
Like the content matched the price well. For example, I wouldn’t pay anything for a couple of brand new pokeballs but maybe a few extra facilities for under 5$ each would be fine
How much would you pay for a battle frontier DLC,
and How much for a story DLC set around Marshadow or something?
Battle Frontier 2-4 dollars
Marshadow (let’s say on the size of the delta episode, but with better gameplay obviously) 3-5$
I think the same, maybe a bit more for Battle Frontier, Kinda the way Fire Emblem DLC is priced.
No.
Out of principle.
Thats…. a bit unfair. DLC isn’t a bad thing. It allows developers to keep interest high in their game and allows them to add in new things. The problem comes in when the price doesn’t match the content. I think if ORAS sold the battle frontier as DLC for around… ehhh maybe 2-4$? people would buy it and it would make lots of money.
Probably is a bit unfair, but I am firmly against any kind of paid DLC. Especially when most of the time it’s something they could have easily just put into the game in the first place, but didn’t, obviously to make an extra buck. Why would I pay £5 to play the Battle Frontier, when I had it free (as part of the game) all the way back in Emerald?
For the record I still play Emerald sometimes :p
Emerald was essentially battle frontier and story DLC and slightly harder difficulty for Ruby and Sapphire.
But I never play RS, so it was fine for me (and I got Emerald free when I bought a Gameboy)
This isn’t the case though. Often times the things they add in have to be cut for this or that reason. DLC while sometimes used to cheat their consumers a bit, is more than often used to add in something they couldn’t fit into the final product in time.
Emerald also came out 10+ years ago and most of pokemon’s consumers do not have access to it. It would also be more expensive to pay 40+ dollars for a whole game then play up to that point than it is a couple of bucks when you have probably exhausted everything else in that game
Honestly I understand the purpose of DLC, and I don’t even blame them for wanting to make money. Nintendo/Gamefreak can do what they want, when it comes to DLC, but as a consumer I know that I will most likely never bother purchasing any of them.
I think DLCs are evil.
Ubisoft made Assassin’s Creed 2, a great game, no DLC. They started putting online multiplayer and then slowly put in DLCs and Micro transactions. Nowadays, you can buy Assassin’s Creed for 59.99, but you can’t have fun playing the game unless you spend atleast 20 USD more on DLC. They make the game shorter to force to buy these DLCs. Seriously though if GF does it, then I fear it will be the end of Pokemon as people will start to lose interest.
DLC isn’t inherently bad though. Ubisoft messed it all up but that doesn’t make DLC evil. I like to think Game Freak is better than that. DLC is kind of a dirty word for many in gaming but it really isn’t that bad. The Smash Bros DLC was good. 8 new characters and some stages there if you want them. Nintendo tends to do DLC very well so why should pokemon be an exception
Fire Emblem DLC is Pretty Good, THEY DID MAKE 3 FULL FIRE EMBLEM GAMES IN ONE USING DLC.
GOD, I have spent over 300 dollars on DLCs and Microtransactions in my life time and I will never anymore. Ok maybe just another 30 dollars more on FIFA Ultimate Team.
Smash DLC is expensive to us poorer folk.
I’d wonder why it wasn’t included in the actual game. I think it would need to be free tbh.
I would love a game that acted as abase. So for example Sun and Moon stands alone as Alola but what if you could buy DLC to add Kanto with a whole new story but the same player and you can take your Pokemon with you and travel between regions and so on with Johto, Hoenn etc etc.. eventually ending up with a game that allows you to access all current and any potential future regions. This type of DLC could be priced much higher than the average $4-5 as it would almost be like adding a whole new game.
I think like 5-10 for a battle frontier, 10-20 for a new region or something
4-5 for stuff to do after you’ve done everything or small story DLC.
For me the DLC would have to add a story element or hours of gameplay or a new challenge. I would not pay for items or new clothing etc
I would be fine with like 49-99 cent ones that add a bunch of them, likely with some sort of theme.
Group question; How far is everyone into the game? I’m in the part where I just finished the encounter with Team Skull at Po Town, after I finally finish the Ula Ula Island challenges with Nanu, and now entering the main story-section where the secrets of Aether are being revealed.
Right before my fight with Olivia. I’m grinding Salandit and Steenee first though
Oh nice! I evolved my Brionne right before and wow I think my starter is OP, it’s at least 10 levels ahead of everyone else.
I evolved my Litten BEFORE LEAVING THE FIRST ISLAND,
because I didn’t know where Grubbin or Rockruff was and Didn’t want the others so It got all the EXP before finding a grubbin after I beat the Teacher, using Refresh, the fact that I had trouble with Smeargle, and the fact that Hala’s kind of a low bar.
Isn’t that a bad idea, because you then can’t use it properly/ Or do you mean to Torracat, because I evolved my Popplio before, and then Bronne at the 2nd island.
I’m climbing to fight Kiawe.
Nice! I suggest getting Primarina, if you didn’t (who am I kidding you cant change at this point) but if you did, she would be fantastic for battling, the final some trials and kahunas are weak to Fairy or Water.
Same as you but about 10 mins behind – Just finishing up in Po Town..creepy isnt it?
Oh yeah, it’s also a bit depressing.
Just now going to fight 2nd Kahuna
That’s great! It’ll be hard if you chose Litten though.
I have Brionne and Steenee. I got it on lock.
Oh nice.
I’m going to find the Ghost Girl with them kitty lips
And then you get to battle Creepachu!
Can’t wait
I love that blacked wreckage, I gain a eerie sense of peace around there
Sadly I can’t find any wild of those, but not like i’d use it, I got my fantastic Primarina, my cutie Ribombee, my sassy Salazzle, my unexpected partner Lycanroc night form, my royal Tsareena, my disputed final partner Shinnotic and my possible new ally Japanese-arrived Aracquanid beside me, proving me I don’t need it1
I’m on route ten trying to find a skarmory.
Any trials done?
well to get to route 10…
Oh of course
I just beat the 3rd trial. I found the dancing very funny with those freeze shots xD
Oh yeah me too! I especially loved the Salazle going “HEY!”
I was laughing, and then thinking oh FUCK, I need to be healed xDD Crap xD
XD Yeah, that was pretty easy. The Salazle wasn’t even able to summon an SOS, my Primarina just one-shot KOed it and that was that.
I’m just before the 1st trial. Of course I have a bunch of work to do this weekend! 🙁
Dang! Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff to do!
Just did the Lana trial and now I’m in the melemele sea looking for Mareanie. Might be herr for a while. I didn’t realize it was a Pokemon found in sos battles…….
Yeah, I wanted it at first, but I realized it would take a lot of time and I should return to it post-game.
I gave up on Crabrawler for that same reason. One Pokemon that’s hard to get is enough for me lol
I found Crabrawler one day while getting some berries and was able to gt it no problem lol. At least I can get the single original new Ice Pokemon!
Just entered Paniola town.
What island?
I’m about to battle Hala on the first island c: I’m slow cause I grind my team a lot
That’s great! I just did a bit more of progression, and just completed the task on getting the Flutes! I also caught an Alolan executor, now I took a break cuz I don’t want to ruin my self, and tomorrow when I go back I’ll be completing the final few trials and then champion/UBS!
For Codename: Pokemon Stars what would you guys like to see added? I’m would love to see more Pokemon from other generations with Kanto taking a huge lead. Honestly, I seriously cannot wait to see Sun/Moon with HD assets, better lighting, and new textures. The game will look great!
A 2nd region, preferably Kalos. But I can see Kanto happening.
Frontier, Reworked story like every other 3rd version, Better Spawn rates for certain pokemon,
ROCKRUFF BEING AVAILABLE EARLIER AND IN MORE LOCATIONS
Hau on a pike
YES YES YES
He’s just so kind, upbeat and positive
IT SICKENS ME!!!
His music is cool though.
I can’t agree more.
That’s why you have Gladion. His edginess balances Hau’s kindness.
fehhh Edgelord has his charms but ehh
I want a rival who’s a bigger jackass then moi
If you go into Gladion’s motel room and talk to him he replies, Get out!
Gladion>Hau
Gladion’s adorkable
There’s only one adorable character to me in the entire fictional universe
Twilight Sparkle
There I said it
The perfect rival
-Total Egomaniac
-Genuinely spits on anyone he deems lesser then himself
-boasts his every achievement and rubs it extensively
-(an absolute bitch to program) all his Pokemon are calculated to counter half or your entire team with competitive stats and moves
-Has an insanely bad rep with every NPC
-Makes you want to kick the shit out of him but always weasels out somehow
The perfect rival is A** from Fire Red (that’s what I nicknamed him)
Asshat
so Silver then? or Paul in the Anime?
Is Hau a fairy now? I’m probably not far enough to understand.
Why, might I ask?
This freaking sylveon is destroying me right now
Yeah I had problems with it as well.
That chick with a Goomy?
Yeep
It was tough but when Rockruff saw the light
Lycanroc showed that feeler faced freak who’s boss
What Sylveon?
Ok FINALLY
Not gonna lie I had a problem with a woman with a Carbink right outside Paniola town and had to get a Mudbray. Using that Mudbray changed things and now I depend on it lol
Alot of people seem to have their starter way ahead of all of the other team members. I have such a hard time letting that happen because then I dont want them overleveled more so I feel like I cant use them
I always keep my starter 1 level above the rest of my team.
My Primarino is lvl 38 and the lowest pokemon I have is at lvl 32. NOT GOOD
I keep my team pretty much level. I set a target lvl for all my Pokemon in each area. And I rotate my lead Pokemon till everyone is the same level.
Literally what I do! It’s only fair to have an equally trained party in my eyes, and having objectives means a little grinding, but I usually combine it with obsessive pokedex filling, so it works out
I love being able to play this with my friend. He has Moon and I have Sun. So if I miss a chance to capture a Pokémon that can only be caught during the day, he’ll catch it and trade me. I’m really having lots of fun with these games <3
I imagine doing that with my friend. He’d wake me up in the middle of the night saying “catch me a goddamn Vulpix and don’t forget the Ice stone”
Ice stones are both versions… for both Sandslash and Ninetails.
Yeah but, he’d want a free one from my version lol
One thing i hate is that Moon doesn’t get Vulpix. I did see a trainer use it but I’m so sad! It was soon cute!
It’s probably a Sun thing because like Midday Lycanroc they feel Moon Shouldn’t have all the elegant things.
You’re right.
Lycanroc’s Version Exclusivity is Bull though, and they should have made Rockruff more obtainable if it’s revealed as early as it was. And why make the Ice Alolans VE? Just do the Sawk/Throh thing and have one much more common than the other.
They should have done that! Also they should’ve made Tsareena and Lurantis VE, they look like that would’ve worked! Tsareena obviously for the Moon, and Lurantis for the Sun, it would’ve worked out! And for bot h to get them you’d need to get your VE, your starter and a Fire-type and go to the Lush Jungle, where Mallow would take you on a 10 minute quest to get you the other version Grass type.
I got a female popplio on my first try. Which I am lucky because it was so cute I couldn’t reset even if it were male. However it ended up being adamant however we are working through that little flaw.
oddly enough most of the Pokemon I’ve caught have a Neutral nature.
I have only caught female Pokemon so far. Eevee was the hardest. Because oml a S.O.S chain of six was horrendous as I was using a Misdreavus and my ghost moves pp was running low xC I am eight hours in and only as The western town.
First Eevee I saw was Female, literally right after or as I was getting the Egg.
I caught an eevee naturally. I refuse to chance it. I don’t have a single male pokemon and I dont intend on getting one until I start sun version later on. the only thing that bothers me was ilimas battle. I only had Popplio. And the clothes I can’t find anything pink and ruffly anywhere!!!!
Aren’t there Ruffle shirts in HeaHea?
IMHO getting an Adamant Popplio is worse luck than getting a male Popplio with any nature
edit: adamant female
Well I was never planning on using popplio as an attacker to be honest. And lucky by the time it turned into Brionne it now has equal special and physical attack.
Progress Update (Pokemon Sun)!
Just bet Guzma in Po Town.
I now have 10 Z Crystals (12 inclusing Pikanium and Primarium) and my current team is:
Primarina Lvl: 43
Charjabug Lvl: 42
Salazzle Lvl: 42
Tsareena Lvl: 41
Alolan Sandslash Lvl: 39
Feeling super clever with my nicknames this playthrough
Steenee – Matri. From the word Matriarchy
“a system of society or government ruled by a woman or women.”
Salandit – Sédfeur. A combination of the french word for seduce(séduire) and fire (feu)
Raichu – Loaf
I have Fantasea, Whispe'(misdreavus), camellia(Petilil), esme'(eevee), Persianna(Meowth).
playing moon
M Torracat – Caldera: Volcanic Formation, also boiler in spanish.
M Lycanroc Midday – Iwasuke: Rock Dog in JoJo part 8
F Araquanid – Dewdrop
F Charjabug – Tempesta: from Tempest, a storm, also storm in italian
F Fomantis – Kimono- Luranits looks like it’s in a kimono
TBD- Mimikyu.
This Diglett just called in another Diglett from the sky….only to slaughter it with Magnitude…
Stabbed in the back
Just bothered to check Steenee’s nature.
Adamant baby! ^_^
Mine is Bold so not too bad!
Wait blue is the good one right?
CRAP
I just checked it and it sucks -.-
Hey still better than Modest!
Raising its attack right now a bit in the festival plaza to make up for it
:s
-Atk +Def
Whelp I’m glad Beldum’s are in sun, but GF, why does it have to have a catch rate of 3.
GF needs to start using the ability to patch things to fix bullshit like that.
yeah the fact that I ran out of both ultra balls and dusk balls on it sucks, but oh well. I can breed for a good one for the league later.
OMG! I knew he was in the game, but I just encountered Colress on Route 8! That was so cool xD
I’m so glad he is in the game! Too bad he didn’t give the Thunder Bolt TM cuz I neeeed it
Same! I’m using Pikachu as well xD
Make sure you get the Thunderbolt from behind the trailer on that route. Its in the dream park off to the right
:0 Thanks for the heads up 😀
thunderstone*
you can edit these ya know…
Yeah but I wouldn’t see the edit unless I refreshed.
Really? did not know that.
Yeah but it doesn’t update unless you refresh
still think the L and the R in his name should be reversed.
hes cuter in this game, I squeed when I saw him.
I like how he gives you a move from his region of origin.
Cool you can catch heart scales on a fishing rod.
I love poisoning bulky CPU’s. I’m like HAH! Didn’t see that coming didja?
Where do you get Toxic as a TM? Or did you learn it through level up?
The Grimer I’m carrying around to turn into a Muk for my living dex has Poison Gas
Oh ok 😛
Can someone tell me why this is listed this way? I’m sure it’s for miltank but why would they put it in like they did for evolution lines?

counter parts get registered together as well, like volbeat and illumise
We can’t catch Totem Pokemon right?
Right
correct
Ok gang listen up
I just finished the Ghost Trial
And when back to get a Mimikyu for the dex
And the deceased dummy copied Darkest Lariat

yes, and…?
I thought that was cool
The way it did the animation
It swung its neck like Petey Piranha
Oh that battle mall place in Hau’oli City is now open! Not sure what opens it up though. I’m on the second island and beat Mallow’s trial
It’s got a battle restaurant, a random job, a vendor who sells the legendary Pokémon orbs, and the high fashion shop.
I’m annoyed all these trials being so close in level.
All my pokemon have terrible natures but I’m not gunna let it get me down .-.
Really doesn’t matter too much until competitive.
no it really doesn’t but there are times when things should 1 hit kill things but they don’t
Isn’t it more challenging that way?
in my opinion more challenging isn’t a good thing, I like it to be a normal balance, like if I lost to a totem twice in a row id get pretty annoyed and more than that I would probably stop playing for a few days
This game has so many little details. I went back to MeleMele to look for any TMs I might have missed and found some Corsola next to kukui’s house! Their trainer gave me a widelens!
This is likely how you were supposed to learn of mareanie being in those waters
Yep it was!
higher chance of appearing in bubbling water apparently, from 1% to 20%
Tsareena! <3
There is an insane amount of exploring in this game.
How far are you into the game?
I THOUGHT I was about to fight Olivia, but there’s so much to explore. I think went in the opposite direction I was “supposed” to after getting through Diglett Tunnel.
I love how, despite the game being quite linear, it doesn’t feel that way. Rather than having a straight path there’s a lot of backtracking and revisiting you can do.
“Off to the dimensional research lab, though the dimensions of me are perfect”
-Rotom Dex
This thing I swear
OMG!!!!!!!!! THE DREAM RADAR LADY IS IN THE GAME
That spoiler probably broke the hearts of Kukui fans everywhere…
I like that clothing stays the same every day. I just have to go to the right store and get what I want
Agreeeeeed.
Oh did you get the shiny cutiefly?
Nope. Broke my chain because I didn’t realize that Flame Burst has a chance of hitting the other target -.-
So if I Adrenaline Orb chain a Magikarp there’s better chance of getting the Poison/Water urchin?
Do I make coffee and stay up real real late or no?
Maybe play up to Olivia?
That’s just so reasonable though lol
Sleep isn’t necessary lol, who told you that nonsense?
That’s what I’m about to do….well have ice coffee anyway haha
So is it kinda silly that Big Mo might be my favorite character in this game. He’s just the embodyment of a good steel trainer.
I love how “non-linear” this game is compared to other Pokemon games. It’s all about enjoying yourself, exploring, forging bonds with your Pokemon, and making new friends and rivals! The Trials feel like scavenger hunts and are probably one of the best parts of the games: unlike gyms where we know exactly where to go next and what our goal will be, Trials offer a hint of mystery and there isn’t always a clear path per se. On the other hand, Alola is extremely beautiful and vibrant and is truly brimming with life and so much input and aesthetics that it’s just a really good game to look at. Sun/Moon have outmatched expectations and I can say that in terms of what they have to offer are probably the best Pokemon games to date.
They really feel so unique compared to the rest of the series. This game really was made out of love for the series
I agree. It’s a beautiful, ceremonial celebration of the legacy of one of the greatest franchises in video gaming history: Pokemon, and showcases how far it has come in the last 20 years! <3

I just walked into a motel room and saw Gladion. He says “Get out.” RUDE!

ITS PERFECT
So what exactly does it do? What is the alternative to hatch powers?
Stay in that square, hold b, and rotate your circle pad.
I meant is it efficient?
It keeps you right in front of the daycare, and you can mindlessly do it without having to worry about going back and forth (Sure the Lumiose method will always be the best, but it’s still kinda nice xD)
Basically you spin around there and you can see the girl change her pose indicating that an egg is available, without going offscreen.
That looks like murder on the circle pad
I think this is the outfit I’m sticking with.

I’m still waiting for better shoes, a better bag, the gothitelle top and a skirt
My chic needs a cool dress
Same TBH. I need it for my gym.
Only thing I’d like to find at this point is a red and black purse. The white clashes.
I’m waiting for something that isn’t a T-shirt and shorts…and I hate tank tops so that isn’t happening either. I get this is Hawaii, but could I please have a jacket or a suit! Omg!
Check out the designer clothes store at the mall in the first town. (It’s pricey though!)
I want a female Salandit so bad. Wish me luck lol
Good luck!
What is it with the second island and the towns being so out of place? A western town and a japanese style town? I ain’t complaining though
Well, I’m surprised the Pokemon breeders are cowboys/cowgirls…
…sinnohconfirmed?
I saw a comment earlier about not being able to battle the ace trainer on Route 8. There’s a double battle on the waterway near the Wimpod.
I will go back to check that thank you
No problem!
Yup did not even register to think about using Lapras there.
Does anybody know if you can buy hair accessories like bows?
I’ve seen gem hairpins in the designer clothes shop in the first city.
But that’s about it so far, and I’m only just heading to island 3…
Wait, designer clothes shop? Is that a different one?
Yeah it’s in the mall next to the pokemon center. The first city has 2 clothing shops.
Yep, have you seen the mall next to the Pokemon center? The one with the Battle Buffet and the janitor that makes you clean up the mall?
Oh wow, 5 minutes after I post this I find some in Olivia’s shop :3
Female Salandit! Now I just have to capture it
Use a Luxury Ball or a Timer Ball if you have one
Caught it in a Premier Ball <3
These games are so good, like thank you Gamefreak
IKR???
Primarina!!! I’m adorable little tweens are both all grown up now.
Now if only I could start finding the other team members…
My*
What level should I be at for Olivia?
Level 27 and down
OMG dream radar chick and Kukui just snatched my weave with a certain reveal
So are you at the dimensional research center?
yeah
…wanna battle?
yes :c but my internet couldnt handle it right now its struggling just to be on here
Aw dang 🙁 Well if your internet improves let me know and we can battle!
totally 😀
I am playing so much Pokemon Sun I used the stylus on my iPhone
The confusion nerf is really hurting me 😛
Wat nerf about it?
It now has a 33% chance to hit yourself instead of 50
Oh I thought u talk about confusion the move………..but that’s better by the way.
There’s a place in game called
shady house
I wonder how wat it looks like? It’s definitely terrifying ……Shady my real name though some ppl didn’t know that.
My favourite Pokemon move is Outrage so I like this nerf
You hurt yourself in confusion of the confusion nerf
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh Plumeria is so awesome
why are like all the trainers gorgeous, what is in the water in alola
Either steroids or a wonder care product
Or a shit ton of LSD
fair enough
The ace trainer and worker trainer are my fave designs <3
honestly was just about to say this
I was literally just about to comment “Anyone else find it funny how much sex appeal has made its way into Pokémon?” xD
I mean like
Lusamine, Olivia, Wicke, Anabel, Alolan girls are so great
and Ilima ain’t too bad
That one female corporate worker…..
Has anyone been using Z-moves during the game? I haven’t, mainly because the opportunity hasn’t presented itself. But now I have a chance to use my Shiny Magby’s Fire Z-move against Totem Lurantis. Debating if I should end this that quickly…
I use Z-Moves as a quick way to grind and cheaply take out opponents.
Each of my Pokemon holds one
I spam the shit out of them
Brionne just one shot Olivia’s Lycanrock :3
Sun or Moon?
Moon
Sun
Sun if you want a game -5x original.
Ra
Okay.
why not both? but my pick would be moon even though I’m currently doing a sun run LOL
Why not both? I’m a thirteen-year old with limited cash XD
This decision is tearing me apart…. No wait… Ripping me to shreds would be WAY more accurate…
Moon! Lunaala is beautiful and has better exclusives!
minus vulpix :c
Oh… yes, good point ;-;
I love that you consistently see other trainers use Z-Moves through out the game. Didnt like how few used Megas.
Also how the trainer AI is actually intelligent and like know what they are doing
Honestly don’t like that. I don’t mind seeing it being used by kahunas or leaders, but regular trainers? No, they shouldn’t! Makes the game too hard.
I never enjoyed feeling like a chosen one in these games. Just your above average trainer who works hard. So I like seeing others with it too.
Also even though I did lose once to the Lurantis totem, I stand by what I’ve said about none of these games being actually hard. A hard Pokémon game is still relatively easy, so I invite the challenge.
It made sense few normal trainers used megas, but important trainers definitely should have used more… Each member of the Kalos E4 bar Drasna had a mega evolvable mon (and Altaria even got one in ORAS), what a stupid waste! And maybe a few random late game trainers who were clearly above the norm would have been cool too.
I’m so glad that Z-Moves are explained so simply and didn’t cause another dumb timeline shift
Yeah, tbh Gen VI could have dealt with megas in the usual “soft retcon the shit out of everything, it’s not like we can present a coherent world through our limited game medium anyway” rather than complicate things, but GF seem to like writing themselves into awkward corners…
(Hello “fairy types are newly discovered”… I mean that nonsensical bull was excusable when it was gen I and gen II was the first new gen to come out so “newly discovered pokémon” were a big deal, but WHY would you write that shit in when you know you’re retconning fairy type pokémon into past events anyway????)
And somehow the alternate timeline theory makes a lot of sense, because if you look at it the right way, every single main series game (including both in each pair and third versions) can have occured in some universe…
Olivia is so great. I love what she says to Hau after your battle
We’ve been neck and neck on our adventure. I’m JUST behind you. Reading the dialogue now.
Do you want to battle since we are so close?
Sure! How many pokes?
FC?
I thought you were writing dialogue that Hau was saying, i was a bit confused but now I see it’s genuinely.
2191-7850-5254
How many do you have? I will use less pokemon if you still only have a few
I got 2. But I have a couple viable fillers. haha
FC?
Then how does 3 pokemon sound?
3909-8790-1946
Sounds good! Gimme a few more minutes to get ready.
My trainer name is Ava BTW
Do I need to go to the Plaza?
Yes, whats your trainer’s name?
Kamala
Oh, make sure you connect to the internet too
Says I am. :s
LOOOOAAAAFF NOOOO
I’m gonna save, quit, and get back on
Ok lemme know when you are online.
Online… still not showing you. Do you see me?
nope, jeez the PSS was so much easier
One sec.. I think I got it
Sent the request!
TOTEM LURANTIS HOLY SHIT, I lost :0 YAY DIFFICULTY
Gave me a hard time too
I think most of us lost the first time to it, its savage af
I thought I had it in the bag with Magby’s Fire Z-move. Nope, it lived, and I proceeded to get blown the f**k back! xD
Salandit makes it much easier. :3
That’s what I would’ve had until the shiny! XD
I beat it first try cause luck
My little brother is stuck on it. I will probably have to grind his pokemon up to higher levels so he can continue
OMG I WENT IN FOR ROUND 2 THINKING OK, LET’S PARALYZE IT, IT HAS A POWER HERB WTF. RIP Pikachu ;~;
Go evolve pikachu and come back!
I wanted to wait for Nuzzle ;~;
but its a special attacker .-.
I still like damage with guaranteed paralysis ;~;
The Power Herb threw me for a loop too. Even after I beat it I ended up losing because of ally Castform.
I cant wait for the inevitable hack video of a Totem Arceus summoning legendaries
Tbf Lugia summoning the birds, Ho-Oh summoning the beasts, Regigigas summoning the Regis or heck even Arceus summoning both trios under it’s control would be sick as in in-game event
Lol @StarStorm I love our eerily similar tastes in Pokémon
You were way higher leveled than I expected 😛
And you were lower than I expected lol I’m so very sorry. I feel mean.
Lol no it was still fun! I guess I just have more pokemon so I have to keep them all around the same level
That’s true. Well we should definitely do a post-game leveled down to 50 battle with or playthrough teams!
For sure!
Okay Poké-Pelago is hella gonna get a lot of use from me. <3
http://i.imgur.com/D9f2fGV.jpg
This time I saved him for last, and last it sure came to but we pulled through 😀
I officially LOVE battle royal. I was afraid it would be way too gimmicky, but it actually makes for some interesting strategies, predicting who’s gonna target who. Just had an EPIC battle on battle spot with it, but I can’t find a way to upload the battle video…
I lost the battle because I used Pikachu on accident
It was hilarious. At one point, somebody sent out Greninja, which instantly got a KO and triggered battle bond. It was also several levels higher than anybody else’s Pokémon. One trainer successfully landed Hypnosis on it and the next turn became an unspoken agreement to get rid of that Greninja before anything else 😛
Faba’s glasses are shaped like beans
So is Ms. Wicke evil or no? I hope no as she does not fit the evil category at all, which is the main reason why I was skepitcla of the Aether being evil idea at first.
Whaiiii. I just want the games. I was SO MAD last night, because, I pre-ordered the game, but it doesn’t get here till’ Thursday. But, at Wal-Mart, it was right there in front of me!
It’ll be worth the wait =3
I’m in love with all of the Aether Foundation related music
So after the second Kahuna my living dex has:
29 Pokémon. With those 29, I have 2/4 Oricorio. 8/18 Alolan Forms. And then I have a female Salandit, a second Grimer, second Fomantis, and second Mudbray that I’m leveling up.
SWEET LITTLE WICKE OMG SHES SO ADORABLE I LOVE HER
Team as of right now just for the fun of it (Need break from nonstop playing):
Owliver Q. (Male Decidueye): Lvl 34
Greyback (Female Lycanrock (Midnight)): Lvl 31
Oedipa (Female Marowak): Lvl 31
Eddi (Female Mudsdale (Named after “That’s My Horse!” On Ed, Edd, and Eddy ): Lvl 30
Anchor Arms (Female Golisopod): Lvl 30
Clever Girl (FemaleSalandit): Lvl 30
Looks like we’re at about the same point!
Archimedes (Male Decidueye): Lvl 34
Sherlock (Male Lycanroc (Midday)): Lvl 31
Henrietta (Female Snorlax): Lvl 31
Regina (Female Oricorio): Lvl 30
Scroop (Male Araquanid (named after villain in “Treasure Planet”)): Lvl 30
Yzma (Female Salandit): Lvl 31
Wow, that’s kind of eerie lol xD Are you on the third island?
I just beat Olivia on the 2nd.
Ah then yeah we’re at about the same point. I JUST set foot on the third island. How’s Oricorio? I’ve been curious
It hasn’t learned many good moves so far…but it’s been doing good just from using Air Slash, Feather Dance and Roost 😛
Glanced at its future movepool and it looks like it’ll improve further. Your bird’s going to be a dancing fool >=P
Also, I’ve decided to swap Sherlock for Minior once I catch one. I like Lycanroc but Minior is my favorite Gen VII Pokémon and Lycanroc is the current team member I’m most willing to box (err…’Pelago’)
Ahh a placeholder? I understand, my team was full of them except Decidueye for a long time. I almost held onto Crabrawler because I had it so long before I caught Clever Girl
All three Pokemon in the Dimension lab on the bookshelf are Sinnoh Pokemon. Sunnoh confurmed
“The screen shows ongoing monitoring and analysis of space-time in the Alola region. ”
More.
THREE pokemon on the bookshelf?
Half-Life 3 Confirmed
It’s Seno Cunfrmd
And begins my shiny Sandygast hunt
Ugh… this might be a dream I give up on very quickly. Just realized False Swipe is Normal and doesn’t effect Sandygast.
Doing the Adrenaline Orb thing?
You could always try using a pokemon w/Foresight or Scrappy.
Pancham/Pangoro is available in Alola, HA is Scrappy and can learn false swipe.
I’ll just try to Shiny hunt a different member of the team *single tear*
This game’s really trying to make people think lol. First, there was a guy who asked why Sudowoodo didn’t have an Alola form, then Lusamine talks about how Toxapex dismembers Corsolas, then I run into a girl from an earlier island who talks about whether or not Pokemon have consciousnesses inside the PC. Ok, that last one people have been talking about for a while, but when did Pokemon start being all self-aware?
Around Gen 5 to be exact.
Huh go figure, going to start paying more attention to NPCs from now on lol.
Lol well I was really just referencing the entire ethics based plot line of BW haha
Sandygast was caught it a Dive Ball yas. So much beach flavor.
That should mean that it’s ability is always active!
If I got to the second island, am I able to come back on the boat when I want?
Yup, next to the dock there’s a building and it’s the ferry port. It let’s you go to whatever island you’ve already need to… Without giving too much away, you might not have to worry about it though.
Thanks!
So since Ash-Pika has 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, do you think Ash’s Pika in the anime will discover a special Z-move?
Honestly I think we’d all be massively surprised if it doesn’t, this is clearly a tie-in. Hopefully it’ll feel less randomly thrown in than ash-greninja!
yes, and he will lose the league.
Now that I’m about halfway through the game, I have to say these are my favorite main-series Pokémon games since HG/SS. They just feel so immersive and fresh.
Am I reading Oricorio’s move set right? It can’t learn any electric type attacks? (I’m checking serebii)
Revelation Dance becomes electric.
TECHNICALLY it can. Revelation Dance… That’s it though lol
Oh duh totally forgot about that lol!
I read something interesting about Oricorio…
There’s a new move called Burn Up. It’s really powerful and it gets rid of the user’s fire typing. Only a couple Pokémon can learn it.
BUT. If Fire Oricorio uses Mirror Move after somebody uses that attack, then Oricorio just becomes Flying type and Revelation Dance becomes typeless. Confirmed by Smogon users.
Huh, that’s an interesting… Revelation!… Huh? Huuuuuuuuh?… I’ll see myself out
Or you could use Mirror Move after somebody uses an electric move 😛
Seeing kiawe and kukui in the anime has made me love them even more! Especially kiawe….
Kiawe is daddy, he just has to grow up
I just realized I havent run into a Pokefinder spot in a looooooong time. I must be missing some. Is there a place that has all the locations?
Goona go to bed right after I find my Purple Minior!
Tsareena – Lv.32
Salandit – Lv.32
Raichu – Lv.32
Brionne Lv.33
Team update:
Deci: lv 42 – Gawain
Marowak: lv 42 – Joseph “jojo” Jostar
Starmie: lv 40 – Holulele
Togedemaru: lv 40 – Tancred
wow it sure died down in here! TEAM UPDATE!!!!!!
Primarina – 42
Bewear – 41
Salazzle – 41
Tsareena – 41
Lycanroc (midday) – 41
Do you like Tsareena? Cause I’m seriously considering it. I didn’t realize that I have no combat against water types. Also I hate my Salazzle and want to get rid of it
yeah, she’s pretty good. trop kick is useful in stopping high atk power pokemon, and acrobatics helps with other grass types. she learns high jump kick later too. what’s wrong with Salazzle, she’s doing alright for me.
Ok is purple Minior just super rare or like, what
I’m broke in games all over again. Why can’t I be fashionable and carry medicine for my pokemon? Anyway, these games are sooooo fun My team hasn’t been set in stone yet it’s just been a rotation of new pokemon but so far what’s set in stone: Dartrix Crawbrawler, and MAYBE Araquanid, These new pokemon are so cool It’s hard to decide which to use. Last thing I have to say, Salazzle legitimately creeps me out, ever since it popped up (you know what Im talking about if you’ve past this) I literally jumped when I saw it. And it’s body shape and the way it stands shudders I might even drop salandit because it creeps me out too much.
I think as far as the way it creeps you out is different than this (The body shape doesn’t bug me), but I found a Salandit in a pokefinder once. Every once in a while, the pokefinder pokemon will randomly dash and this Salandit ran right at my camera and it freaked me out. I have a Salazzle on my main team but I THINK I get what you mean. And yeah, the first time one “pops up” was freaky. Didn’t know Pokemon could get that response from me.
I did think the way it popped up was a little creepy. But in battle it more so makes me feel uncomfortable the way it has it’s legs spread. Haha
It’s pokedex entry also states that it has a harem of salandit
I know right there was something about its face that was just unnerving, I’m glad I’m not the only one who was creeped out, it literally looks like it would eat a child
For anyone who’s beaten the game already or just knows:
1. Is the S.S. Anne present?
2. Are there any additional postgame facilities or activities that haven’t been revealed yet?
1. Nope
2. Depends on what you mean. Have you stayed far far away from spoilers or are you savvy to all the leaks?
Savvy to all the leaks. Was kinda holding onto hope that there was something else.
Ok this is insane. In the dimension lab (is that what it’s called?), a screen shows the analysis of Space-Time in Alola and the bookshelves mention Bronzong, Giratina and Palkia and how they’re related to other dimensions. I was expecting a mention of Hoopa but nope, solely Sinnoh ‘mons are mentioned. This just screams Sinnoh Confurrmed.
Also, “Battle Dimension” was the subtitle of one of the D/P anime seasons. (Minor thing but y’know)
I like how trolly it is
Palkia
Giratina
Were you expecting Dialga? NOPE!! BRONZONG
Has anyone noticed the pokedex this time around is much darker?
Crawbrawer: ” When it loses, it foams at the mouth and faints”
Araquanid: “Small Pokemon get sucked into the bubble where they drown”
Cubone:”Mandibuzz that hear its cries will attack it from the air”
Bounsweet”They are often swallowed whole by Toucannon”
And there’s a lot of mention of death throughout NPCs
“When people go to sleep in the ground, they stay asleep forever, right?” -random preschooler
TIL That Minior also can learn Attract…
looks like Cryogonal has a friend
I hate when they give this to Genderless ‘mon. There is no reason for it afaik and it uses up a slot.
An update,
Team:
Fort (Sandyghast): 35
Geoff (Araquanid): 37
4chan (cause they’re toxic, Salazzle): 37
Mordecai: (Decidueye) : 39
Sanic (Togedemaru): 28 (just caught)
And I found a shiny mudbray
I hadn’t seen you for a while, I was worried you had been banned by Nintendo.
Move worries xD just got busy!
This is my team tho :3
“All right, I’m gonna catch this Staryu. I’ll use Scald because it’ll probably resist it and live…”
> Staryu used Camouflage!
> Staryu became the Ground Type!
“Welp, it’s dead…”
I just reached the third island so it’s a good time to update up my team.
Cure Mermaid (Primarina) 36
Persian 35
Kadabra 33
Snorlax 33
Magneton 33
Metroid (Dewpider) 33
I also just ran out of spare Popplios so I’m about to breed up more… 🙂
so am I to assume we can only get one each of the HGSS poke balls all game? because that sucks so much if true
I’m not sure I know a breeder on Melemele uses a Pikachu in a Friendball and I think someone else uses one too
oh like half the breeders use friend balls, but so far it seems you can only get them once yourself
I got 1 Love Ball from Oak… but I guess that’s it…
same, he apparently gives you different ones later on, but still only the one from what I can tell
Serebii lists a price for them, so you must be able to buy them somewhere.
Wait a minute are
Vullaby, Petilil, and Spinda are they all only female?
Cause I have seen one Orocorio and it shows I can see Male and female
Yet then it only shows female
Vallaby and pettily are only female yes, but spinda is both
Ok maybe it just won’t show me Male Spindas
Kanto Prof Oak. named Samuel finally confirmed… whatchu think?
Was that ever in doubt? Or was it confined to the anime?
Well Golispod just ate Po Town….
I feel I’m over leveling all of my Pokemon are 45
Yeah, I feel like recent games have an overleveling problem. My Golispod annihilates everything in sight.
mine arent overleveled, I have been on par with the trainers all game
My team update
Brionne lvl.19
Yungoos lvl.18
Grimer lvl.17
Question: Are the fossils given to you before post game or no? cause I thought to use Bastiodon on my team
I bought a fossil for 7000 pokedollars at the start of island 3.
Ok cause I might use it if it fits at the time taking Rock and Steel as types in my team
You can also buy a fossil right before you fight the second kahuna
Finally! I finished the extremely difficult final boss battle and got Lunala!
Ugh I had to restart once because my Refresh-spoiled lvl 60 Primarina thought I’d be please with her getting a crib and killing the Legendary.
Searching for my final team member…..
So since 2 Cosmogs are receivable, I think this brings me closer to my desicion.
What do you mean 2 cosmogs are receivable?? Is there more than one cosmog per game?
Look up How to get Cosmogs in YouTube
Okay, which one are you guys finding more useful? Araquanid or Golisopod?
Don’t have Araquanid, but Golisopod is amazing. It’s ability however, although it only kicked in once since I evolved it, is still annoying in the wrong instance. I usually keep it at bay though with a combination of Bulk Up and Leech Life.
It has the same ability?
Same ability, different name. Wimp Out turns into Emergency Exit
Golisopod: PFFT. Please, I’m not wimping out. I’m just keeping safe.
*Dewpider shows up*
Golisopod: AAAAAA A SPIDER!!!! *Retreats to Pokeball*
Bahahaha! xDDD This needs to be represented in the anime.
I can’t find a Wimpod T.T
Are you near Lush Forest?
Found one lol
So my Sisters’ 2DS with Moon arrived today, my game hasn’t arrived. Me right now:

I’m getting the game tomorrow. Feeling dead rn
Ugh, I hope mine comes early. What’s worse is I bought the 2DS for my sister, so by that I technically owned it already ;_;
Finally found it!
Who is it?
Jangmo-o
Oh, nice, I plan on using one myself.
tonight I say goodbye to two of my teammates who have been with me for so long, Carbink and Pom Pom Oricorio, they fought well and saved me so many times, but I’m so excited for Mimikyu and Vulpix to join my team
This is why I like planning a set team ahead. Also, is Oricorio good? I might use one.
its been really helpful against all the bug, grass and fighting pokemon, its holding a sharp beak so its air cutters are deadly. But yeah its been extremely helpful for me, I just wish it got some electric moves
Progress Update (Pokemon Sun)!
Bet Kahuna Hapu and just caught my final team member…and Charjabug was finally able to evolve!
I now have 13 Z Crystals (15 including Pikanium and Primarium) and my current team is:
Primarina Lvl: 50
Vikavolt Lvl: 49
Salazzle Lvl: 50
Tsareena Lvl: 49
Alolan Sandslash Lvl: 49
Jangmo-o Lvl: 44
So I kinda found out a member I wanted for my team can’t be caught until the post game. IN that case welcome to the team Ashura the beldum. Its going to be fun getting this thing 15 levels to catch up to my team.
How do we unlock more PC boxes? I have a methodology to my PC organization and I need moar
I always thought you just had to have at least one pokemon in each box, and then it should upgrade, although it’s often not until post game that more are available
It’s one Pokémon on the last space of each box.
Aaaaah ok
Prolly need post game. Tried 1 in every box thing.
You know what I love? Stamina Mudsdale with Iron Defense. It’s like an unpenetrable wall!
I would say With Assault vest.
Doubles
Skill Link Ambipom with a Specially Defensive Mudsdale with AV
Uses fury swipes
Mudsdale becomes a Tank
Good God it would be unstoppable o-0 Will no one reign in this horse?
Will o wisp?
You’re better off using something that doesn’t get STAB and is resisted. Like Rock Blast Cincinno.
Ughhhh I feel like a unstoppable God
Incineroar 50
Lycanroc 49
Mudsdale 48
Crabrawler 47
Golispod 48
I tore the Aether foundation a new one and I’m still looking for a Jangmo-o
Good luck! Took me over an hour….
Watch the very first one be female and modest
I got lucky with a Male but got a Modest Nature which actually worked because i’m going for a Special based one since its signature move is special and the highest BP fighting type physical move is sky uppercut vs the special focus blast.
Yeah it’s not a bad idea….
Clanging Scales
Focus Blast
Flash Cannon
Flamethrower
Along those lines yep! Im gonna finalise in game move sets before the league once ive gone around getting any TM’s i missed etc
One thing i will say is due to the high level that Jangmo-o is at when you finally get him i got to spend a grand total of 1 level with each ov Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o… just got Kommo-o 2 seconds ago!
Autotomize may not be a bad idea too.
Why do i feel like i only find the exact same pokemon in patches of grass? Its like all of Rt 6 is lillipup and the occasional mudbray. I havent even found a rockruff yet! >_<
Thaaaaat’s cause you’re in the wrong place.
??? no i know that. I mean generally speaking its like im only finding the same pokemon in specific routes.
Ah ok xDDDD Yeah it feels that way in a ton of routes. Took me 20min to find an Oranguru in its location
Like there are so many pokemon that i havent found yet and its annoying to have to go find them after i beat a kahuna
After the first route, I just keep serebii’s pokearth open on my tab now because I don’t want to miss any Alolan pokemon. The distribution is… better and worse than XY in my opinion, but annoying because there’s like… 1 Alolan pokemon per route
There are pokemon in the early routes that i didnt know were there cause i havent seen them before LOL
Yeeeah, that’s why i started doing it. I completely missed two of Oricorio’s routes so I was like, “That’s it! Pokearth time!”
I found thd PomPom one after going back to its field of flowers and taking pictures of it. Other than that jt was all cuteifly and caterpie…
I’d breed starters and just use the GTS… 🙂
It saves a lot of time in the end. You have a few weeks where starters are still valuable.
Can U get Hidden ability starter from the beginning?
I wish. 🙂
Since you can’t encounter them in the wild, you can’t do adrenaline orb chaining…
But if you get old gen starters via scanning Pokemon, you can try to chain that and hope to get a hidden ability one. Bring a Pokemon with Role Play so you can check the abilities of incoming Pokemon.
I didn’t play XY so I didn’t much details about that …..wat I am worried about that my Incineroar will will not be that good without his HA ….and wait to catch another one is sucks …….u know most ppl reset the game over and over until get a good nature.
No, you can never get the starter with it’s HA, it’ll always have Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow
This is sucks …they should make an item turn normal ability to Hidden one.
How early can Smeargle be caught?
Pretty early if i remember correctly. Either before or right after trial 1
OK thanks, I’ll need it for Egg Moves.
It is in the grass in the first city, in between fences.
Anybody else forget all about the Pokefinder?
I’ve never had to use this much healing items in a Pokemon game before. I don’t know whether Sun and Moon are harder or my team’s just utter booty (I mean my Steenee has doubleslap ffs)
Yeah this game is actually pretty hard for a pokemon game, though is easy enough in the right places.
Also, the fact that Alola mons have low speed stats isn’t helping.. I can barely run away from half of my encounters
I don’t know why but I’m trying to catch a Dhelmise
Cause it’s hella good and cool?
Cool? It’s a derp
Nah. Vanilluxe is derp. This is cool. But in a more abstract way. Plus 3 STAB moves!
You son of a bitch
I just hooked one
Look at that dex entry though…….”Swinging its massive anchor, it can KO Wailord in a single blow. What appears to be green seaweed is actually its body.”
That’s what makes it awesome! They Pokémon is just the seaweed. And it’s like nothing more than that! Haha I dunno man. I dig it.
Because it’s the same type combo as Decidueye and Decidueye is the best.
I do feel sorry for Decidueye getting outshined, though obviously not in popularity, by Dhelmise. It even has a Steel version of Decideye’s signature move lol
Such a waste
Not staying for long, just popped in to say Hi and tell everyone I’m fine! 😀
Also I’ve been using a Grassy Terrain/Hail doubles team on Pokémon Showdown, so I’ve decided to post two replays to show you guys what to expect from doubles (specifically Smogon Doubles) this Gen
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankdoublesou-479741917
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankdoublesou-479749564
Also, Mudsdale does not die. Forgot to mention that.
What one are you running?
Assault Vest
Stamina
Earthquake
Highorse Power
Rock Slide
Close Combat
Holy crap Earthen is going to enjoy this thing
Does Heavy Slam not work well?
Wait, I think it actually has Heavy Slam over close combat, lemme check
Here’s the specific set
Mudsdale @ Assault Vest
Ability: Stamina
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
– Earthquake
– High Horsepower
– Rock Slide
– Heavy Slam
HS over CC as lowering your defenses is bad for a tank, and Earthquake and HHP in order to be able to have a strong STAB regardless of wether Grassy Terrain is up or not.
Do you use anything to take advantage of Stamina? Like Skill Link Rock Blast Toucannon?
Yup, the same Toucannon also lures in Waters and gets them with Bloom Doom!
Nice, I look forward to trying this in-game 🙂
Do it, it’s such a satisfying tactic to pull of!
I used the same move in single with AS but without Highorse Power but Body slam …..I like ur battling style though.
I’m so confused, I want to unlock the Reverent style battle pose, and serebii says you have to defeat Kiawe to do so…only problem is Kiawe is a Sun exclusive battle. So wtf
You’ll probably have to defeat Mallow then, as she’s the Moon counterpart battle
I’ll try that, thanks!
Whaaaa. The Captains are version exclusive battles for postgame? Damn.
Actually, you can battle Mallow, Kiawe and Lana after defeating Olivia. Mallow and Kiawe are version exclusive.
Gotcha
I’m not up to the post-game, but you can battle them after their trial at specific places and time.
Here’s my set for OU Smogon Doubles if anyone wants to try out a team without having to build from scratch. I’d prefer if you’d at least adapt it after a while though, it’s mostly a taste of what to expect rather than me giving you a full blown team to use forever.
Mudsdale @ Assault Vest
Ability: Stamina
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
– Earthquake
– High Horsepower
– Rock Slide
– Heavy Slam
Toucannon @ Grassium Z
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
– Rock Blast
– Bullet Seed
– Beak Blast
– Roost
Tapu Bulu @ Leftovers
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
– Horn Leech
– Wood Hammer
– Superpower
– Protect
Comfey @ Leftovers
Ability: Triage
EVs: 252 HP / 56 SpA / 200 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
– Draining Kiss
– Leech Seed
– Floral Healing
– Synthesis
Starmie @ Focus Sash
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
– Spotlight
– Surf
– Psyshock
– Recover
Ninetales-Alola @ Light Clay
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
– Aurora Veil
– Blizzard
– Dazzling Gleam
– Encore
That’s me away off again, can’t wait to come back properly some time next week!
That looks solid. I’m not going onto Smogon for a while, but I’ll probably come up with new teams as I go.
I might try Speed Swapping Ribombee’s Speed onto Mudsdale after the Defense Boosts.
Finally found my Mareanie! Didn’t take too long, but I was pretty confused on how to fish in these games at first. Not sure I like not being able to fish wherever I want, but it’s do. Gonna have to get used to the whole SOS battle system, especially if I wanna shiby hunt in the future. Once you get the hang of things it seems like it’s not too bad, but being at the mercy of having to find a rarer Pokemon to fund an even rarer one it tough on the psyche lol
Gotta love that Oranguru is 5% 😛
Oranguru one of the reasons that I choose moon (great design)….its Trick Room room will be useful with all these slow mons.
Been trying to catch a Modest/Timid Tapu Lele for about 2 hours now. Every nature i get is either neutral or Special attack decreasing…
Does Synchronize still work? If it does, I’d get a synchronize abra and ditto, and breed with no everstone until get modest/timid.
Thanks i forgot about that. It should still work
So i just caught it when i decided it would be best to use the syncronize strategy…in a great ball just kind of goofin off. But i might go for timid in order to out speed.
I CANT DECIDE WHO TO REPLACE
Passimian or Crabominable. I’ve decided which version I’m getting (Moon) so I’ll need someone with Sun to trade me Passimian. But I love them both so much. My planned team is very weak to Flying and Fairy and since Crabominable can provide against flying, signs point at Passimian. What do you guys think?
I’ve got tons of Passimian and can get more in case you want that.
Also Passimian is a bit faster and can use Rock Tomb/Rock Slide… so you may want that instead.
……….A GOD DAMN GARBODOR KILLED MY INCINEROAR
Rekt by trash
Two gunk shots and poison
Wow. You should really take out the trash its starting to pile up
I guess Darkest Lariat doesn’t apply to negative stats
You know that classic WWE wrestler whose gimmick is being a garbage man, and his catch phrase is “It’s time to take out the trash!”
Progress Update (Pokemon Sun)!
Just completed the Final Trial at Vast Poni Canyon!
I now have 15 Z Crystals (17 including Pokemon Specific) and my Final Team is now complete:
Primarina Lvl: 52
Vikavolt Lvl: 51
Salazzle Lvl: 52
Tsareena Lvl: 52
Alolan Sandslash Lvl: 52
Kommo-o Lvl: 48
So the answer to if you can soft reset berry piles for crabrawler… you probably can’t.
You can see it shaking before you get to it, so if it has a crabrawler it is probably there when it’s spawned.
Its funny to me how much people are having trouble with catching Crabrawler and I avoid berry trees now because I dont want to bother battling one
SAME! Every single flipping tree!!
Timid or modest Tapu Lele?
Modest.
Timid if there’s anything you need to outspeed (need some competitive wrangling here).
Modest by default since it has highest SpA.
However, if you plan on running support Lele, Bold and Calm are possible choices.
How can I get the pink nectar? I’m in Royal Avenue but can’t find it.
Nevermind, I found them.
How early can I get the UBs?
Post game I believe
Thanks
How bout the Tapu?
New question: I though Oricorio got different level up moves based on form, but is that false? Either I’m misreading serebii or it’s not true.
I don’t think it does. I know a lot of people were complaining that it doesn’t get any Electric/Psychic/Fire/Ghost moves (bar Revelation dance). I’d assume that would be the case if its movepool doesn’t change based on form.
According to the leaked move list, they all have the exact same moves.
I asked this exact same question last night :'(
I honestly boxed them all, and chose Charjabug as my electric. Kind of lame…..oh well.
Caught Solgaleo and bet Lusamine… geez that girl if off her rocker!!
Is Minior any good?
Yeah but purple is really hard to find and I’m tired because I stayed up looking for a purple but I found one and I named it Nova so its ok
Glad you were able to find it <3
Ok just found a Heavy Ball… probably the only one in the game…
better use it wisely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*uses on Magikarp*
Wut?
Pretty heavy Magikarp
Oh man, it’s right next to the Pokeball right now… accidental usage might mean a soft reset… heh heh heh.
Me:*raises hand*
Me: how do science do?
Teacher: “We uncover the universe by having our huge computers calculate and calculate until there’s nothing left to calculate anymore”
Me: Thx teech
After a painstaking week. I’ve decided my team and which version to get. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ef9607ab75a39f34cd7b39acea5cb534441752d13262ac5cdf96d69dde8aa6fd.jpg
Salazzle <3
Minior <3
Araquanid <3
It was a tough deduction between Araquanid abd Golisopod, but I just like Araquanid’s design more and it seems to be the lesser used one.
You sure about Exeggcutor? I am using it now and all I can say is Alolan Persian with technichan does a better job as a competitive Pokemon.
I’ve been sure about it since the day it was revealed
What do we thinks in this egg? (Picture 1)
It’s pretty plain looking, but we know that eggs tend to have the colour of their Pokemon on them.
I have an idea, seen as it’s been sent to Alola from Kanto, it’s a Gen 1 Pokemon. Seen as it’s been sent to a researcher of Alolan Variants, it’s a Pokemon with one. It’s similair to the vulpix eggs we’ve seen in earlier seasons, (Picture 2)
However, it seems to be lacking the Swirls, unless they’re hidden.
So I have 2 guesses.
1) Vulpix (We know lilly has an Alolan Vulpix egg from the opening, so would it be a stretch to say Samson Oak has 1 egg for each?
2) Diglett.

Mudbray?
I don’t see why a Mudbray would be sent from Kanto
Oh, I didn’t read anything. Just saw the pic and thought the colors were similar to a Mudbray. If it’s from Kanto, then… Yeah, I guess it’s a Vulpix.
Definitely Vulpix in my opinion. We haven’t seen what the bottom part looks like so the swirls could be hidden. Considering there’s an Alolan Vulpix in the cast, I’m pretty sure you’re right and it’s a Kantonian Vulpix.
Maybe since Samson studies the variants and their differences, he studies the differences in the eggs too, which is why he has it.
I really, really, really enjoy Z-Metronome.
I love Malie City so much
Ok can someone explain to me (without too many spoilers if possible) how the Cosmog evolution line works? Is Cosmog ITSELF the Legendary you end up catching or is it separate from the story legend? Can you have both Cosmog AND the legend at the same time? If not how is it possible to load all three Pokemon in the line into your Pokedex/ have them for a possible living dex? Would you be able to trade a Cosmog? Or maybe breed? Sorry for all the questions, but ever since it was shown off in both the leaks and officially I’ve been trying wrap my head around this. Again if possible please no story spoilers. I know that may be a bit much to ask for tho lol
Separate. You catch a copy of the box legend in main game, and evolve the Cosmog in postgame.
That’s so dumb. why wouldn’t they at least give you the other legendary instead of two of the same? I’d rather have Cosmog evolve into the opposite legend in addition to the box one…….Well anyway thanks for the response. It clears things up a little for me lol
You can trade for the bat/lion with your extra lion/bat. I guess this is their way of keeping exclusivity while giving people a chance to get the other one.
True….lol
Sooo according to the Sun and Moon IV calc my Wimpod is a god. >:D
Is Komala actually usable?
Nupe
Where is the TM for Return? Itsays that an Oranguru gives it to you in thr malasada shop but I cant find it
Okay, my final team:
– Primarina, lvl 62
– Salazzle, lvl 60
– Lurantis, lvl 62
– Kommo-o, lvl 62
– Ribombee, lvl 60
– Araquanid, lvl 60
I ditched Sensu Oricorio, Lycanroc, and Tsareena. Ribombee is awesome by the way! Great Pokemon!
That guy who dresses all in red gives me Chinese vibes. Maybe Gen 8 will be Chinese inspired?
There shoulda been a special animation for Z-metronome with the finger wiggling.
Hahaha Oh my gosh. The father and son at the garbage facility. <3 They're adorable.
They are the best.
I stomped them into the pavement
And yet they reconcile their differences…..losers
Wait where is this?
Past the library on the third island
Huh… Okay
Well out of all the Kahuna fights
The petite purple one lasted longer
i love how underleveled I am compared to everyone here XD
Why in gods name doesn’t Togedemaru get any steel type moves beside Gyro ball…?
Minior only gets acrobatics -.- speakig of which, how do you even get the acrobatics TM?
Answer? You don’t need it if you have HP flying. It’s INSANE!
Oh yeah I need to check its HP… Where is the Hidden Power teller person again?
On the ranch I believe
I’ve said it for months
Minior doesn’t get Flying moves
I still remember some guy thought it should get Brave Bird or Wing Attack
In all fairness though, it doesn’t need it. It has access to faceout, wish, spikey shield, and for a fourth move go for its sig move or volt switch. Really I”m using one right now and its still a little ball of destruction.
I am too… I just wish it got Iron head though…..
or smart strike.
That works
If you could replace Pokeride Pokemon different modes what would you have (note you have to keep it in limits like no riding a caterpie or having a Oricorio fly you around
Replace Charizard with Flygon
Charizard to Lugia
Ride: Rhyhorn
Search: Claydol (it beeps near treasure) or Donphan they have good smell
Paddle: Swampert
Glide: Golurk or Flygon of Aerodactyl
Jet:….. Swampert can bash Boulders
Gallop: I’ll keep Mudsdale
Shove: Rhyperior or a Onix
Does anyone know where I can catch a Minior?
On the mountain place. Where the electric trial is. Just go south and you find it in the grass
Oh ok, thank you.
Do you also know where I can get a Litten? And which island is the electric again?
So…. The AI is smart…. They switched a L rod alolan Maro out against my Togedemaru…
Uhhhhhhggg I wanna replace Minior since it gets no good moves for a regular playthrough but idk what to replace it with. Unless someone near the post game can trade a Rockruff sun?
What about a Lycanroc
Oops thats what I meant 😛
I’m sweating my ass off hunting a Jangmo-o
I could grab you a Lycanroc
That would be great! If you can, name it Luca please!
M or F
Either is fine!
Is there anything you want in particular?
I found a den mother
I’ll be on the festival plaza. Let me know when you are ready to trade
Do we even have each other
I think so. I’ll check
4038-5998-9262 right?
Yes
Ok good. getting online now
Finally found a Crabrawler! Now I need to decide if i want to use it. Might end up doing so. Lol
I found a female Salandit after two and a half hours~
Sheesh what’s the ratio again? Lol
1 in 8. Funnily enough I found a female Eevee with a good nature in less than twenty minutes. Salandit decided it hated me.
Ha I found one on my first try
Same here lol

UM I JUST WON A MASTER BALL IN THE FESTIVAL PLAZA
Wowzers. Bad ass.
Damn you
All I got was this stupid Big Nugget…
I got a bottle cap which was said to be a second prize. How rare is that do you all think?
Can someone tell me if you need to dye to get pink clothes all the guides say that the cities have pink things but they are all the same black, white, grey, blue, navy blue, purple, and green.
The purple is barely purple. It’s more blue then anything >:(
Its like royal blue and indigo had a baby and royal blue decided it had control over the babies future.
My shiny hunt for Salandit turned into a search for a female Salandit. It was stressful enough dealing with their Dragon Rages, and It took like an hour and a half to have a female one to pop up
A wingull…..
Oops. Hang on confirm so i can back out
nvm hold up
Do you anything…good?
No really :S
And yet I give you a powerful Wolfress
Thanks Earthen! I’ll try to find something good to make up for it
Holy crap Hapu almost swept me. A shame most of her team’s pretty bad, sans Flygon
Has anyone noticed that some text bubbles are blurry?
Yes, and for some reason my lighting dulls and brightens sporadically.
Okay I thought I was the only one.
Wait….. Star trade me back that the wrong one
Ok
Silly me I forgot I have more boxes
Alright I have done nothing but Pokemon and I think i lost the ability to move for more then 2 minutes
I need a break…or more cheese puffs
I am taking sporadic breaks and not playing too long unless searching for specific gendered or natured Pokemon. I waited ten months for these games I do not want to beat them or burn myself out of them like I did with past gens and games.
*Actively decaying corpse*
Does anyone know who gives the 40 Beast Balls or so? I need them!
Hey everyone. Haven’t been on here for this whole time.. THIS GAME IS FREAKING AMAZING. I’m just finishing Ula Ula I wasn’t able to play too much yesterday but holy crap. This is my new favorite Pokemon game hands down….
Why won’t this Jangmo-o call for a male
Hahahahaha I was gonna shiny hunt for a Minior… first Minior I see in the whole game is shiny. XD Yaaaas!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
IT KILLED ITSELF
OMG SERIOUSLY NOO
I’m like… so distraught right now. Every shiny I want has some sort of qualifier to hunting it. Just gonna Quick Ball one. I might shiny hunt Jangmo-o. But it’s a bit too garish. No shinies for this team probably.
I wanna shiny hunt Mimikyu but its disguise ability combined with it being a 5% encounter just makes it so annoying
GF. You are a cruel mistress.
Damn it. Stupid suicidal Pokemon.
I feel empty inside.
I swear this Hakamo-o better be god tier
It busted out like 20 times
The Thrifty Megamart is so spooky o.o
Now if I can just find a Mimikyu that would be fantastic
I’ve been fighting this thing for 40 minutes now…..
Oh wow Critical Capture on Mimikyu! It’s a girl though so any nicknames? I was planning on Stitch and I might still name it that but I wanna see any other ideas
Plushie
Cuddles
Eh… Stitch is a really good name imo. Use it
Yeah I’ll name her Stitch
Hey guys, guess what?
I’M GETTING MOON TODAY
YAAAAAYY
If you plan on getting Alolan Raichu, dont use Pichu. Wait for Pikachu. Trust me.
Don’t worry. I’m not
Just to be sure though, new games like Sun/Moon don’t apply for Black Friday sales, do they?
i dont know
I’ll check
Yeah. I just checked. X and Y are being sold for $20 at Black Friday, but not SuMo.
A bit obvious why.
Ahh… Nevermind… GameStop is being Ominous about it. I guess I’ll have to wait….
They say “Check back closer to Black Friday to see deals on your favorite 3DS games!”
Pokémon games have the greatest soundtracks.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BNC5mLCAk-v/?taken-by=theanimatedguy
Well. Caught a Pink (“Red”) Minior in a Moon Ball. Pink matches the pretty motif. And in a Moon Ball is fun. This will have to suffice. *sulks in the corner*
Where do you get the Apricorn balls?
I got it from Oak. Haven’t seen any place to buy any. I feel like they’re just in the game so that GF have one less reason to call out people who hack rather than breed and train for their competitive Pokémon. Which I don’t blame them for.
mimikyu is so much fun to use.
I have a question. I’m playing Moon, and I’m right before Lana’s trial. When can I get to the Lush Jungle so I can get Bounsweet? I’d like to get one ASAP. Is it before Kiawe’s trial or after?
You get one right after the grass trial but you can trade one for a lilipup in the pokemon center on route 5
Hmm I probably won’t go for the trade because I want to nickname it.
Is Mallow’s trial before Kiawe’s or after though? I know it’s definitely after Lana’s.
Well if you want I can change the name on a bounsweet I have and trade it to you? And Mallow is the last trial on the island so after Kiawe
Nah it’s fine, I’ll just wreck these other trials w/my Cutiefly (soon to be Ribombee) and Brionne.
Thanks anyways!
It’s after… Mallow is the 4th Trial Captain.
WHY CAN’T GAMESTOP JUST TELL ME IF BLACK FRIDAY DEALS APPLY FOR SUN AMD MOON?!?!?
I can’t seem to capture this Tapu Lele. Any suggestions to what ball I should use?
i can’t get this stupid Lele!
Finished!! That was brilliant, i think what I loved most was that EVERY single important character was well fleshed out and had a history, purpose and a goal – even Kahili and Mina who appear near the end and for not very long. Major improvement on the normal experience! The ending was cinematic and is crying out for a sequel and I want it because I personally have never come away from a Pokemon game wanting to spend more time with the characters in the way that I am now. Game Freak PLEASE!!
Someone tell me what to do or i’ll die.
Put it to sleep?
With what? Nothing?
What ball is best? I use Moon. Dusk or Ultra?
You’re in the ruins right? Try a dusk ball.
ok
How much chances do I get with duckbill? 2x? 3x?
4x with duskball in a cave/dark place (a la ruins)
2x with ultraball in general
What’s the deal with wimpod? I mean, I found the area where you find one, and I chased it down, but I overdid it and it wimped out, and now it won’t respawn. Any ideas? Please tell me this isn’t another timed event…
You should just Quick Ball them. But yea I’ve only managed to run into two. Luckily I got both.
Hmm. But do I have to wait for them to respawn after day or so?
It’s very possible.
After going in and out of the route around 10 times, it finally respawned. Thanks for the tip! ^_^
Shoot, got a crit and it pushed it just over the limit.
yes, you can only encounter it once per day
That doesn’t seem to be the case for me lol
really? you can also manipulate your DS clock
No, it’s not a timed event at all. Try leaving and reentering the route a few times, and it’ll appear eventually.
Wow, the Poke Pelago is great. I shrugged it off as a simple mini feature, but it’s actually really useful.
I wish they gave a better explanation of the actually functionality. IIRC they never actually said what sending beans does, so I’m a little confused.
Speeds up the process.
Of what? Building islands?
Of what each island does. Like if you send your Pokemon exploring looking for items, it will take them less time to do so I believe.
oh, that makes sense. Thanks!
Ugh! I can’t get this stupid Lele! It’s so hard!
I want to hack this stupid game so I can give my self 100x the chances of catching it.
OH NO Minior has self destruct!! This complicates catching one…
Quick Ball?
I hate the way Quick Ball looks, but it’s what I must do
maybe you will get a yellow or blue one and it will fit
I feel bad for the person who almost had a shiny minior.
I am going to literally die if I cant catch it, GF owes me 1 trillion dollars.
i think Mimikyu might be one of my favorite pokemon. Disguise is so good and he has like three types that dont affect it and its just the best I love her
UGH! 3 rolls an it still wont be caught! I want to sue GF so badly! Why did you make it hard! Keep it easy and simple, like make Masterballs an option.
And why is nobody answering me? Everyone else needs assistance at least 5 times less than me!
well like, I dont really know how to help. Paralyze it? False Swipe? IDK
Oh fudge it used struggle.
You’re asking for help for rng man. We can’t make PokéBalls work
Ugh… catch rates are just as luck based as they are skill based. I really don’t think you can do anything else other than keep throwing balls at it. There is nothing anyone can do but being demanding isn’t going to win you any fans here!
uuuugh
Okay i will try my best, is it in the red and do you have a status on it? If so then all you can do is keep trying. If not they i assume you saved beforehand…. if you did then quit and get a Pokemon that can do that for you and try again. Dusk balls will work well in a temple but try a quick ball right at the very start as you may get lucky. Also do not shy away from Great Balls and Poke Balls… i cannot count the amount of times an Ultra Ball has failed me only for a regular Poke Ball to land the catch.
I don’t use status moves
There lies your problem then…. with Legendaries it is not compulsory but HIGHLY advised to have a Pokemon with sleep or paralysis inducing moves as they increase your catch rate.
Well I got Bulu in one move so I guess it’s mostly luck.
There’s only so much we can do.
And spamming comments definitely doesn’t help.
I wish GameFreak was arrested.
If that were the case then you wouldn’t be able to play the game at all.
._.
Chill fam. RNG just sucks

Woo, caught wimpod! There are 8 pokemon I want to use on my team, and I can’t decide which ones to use! What do you think?
They are:
1. Decidueye
2. Oricorio
3. Crabominable
4. Salazzle
5. Golisopod
6. Komala
7. Lycanroc
8. Minior
Decidueye
Salazzle
Lycanrock
Oricorio
Golisopod
Komala
get rid of oriCORNYIO those girls are flops and already have a place in pu kii. I would use komala over minior. Komala has base 115 attack while minior is a more defensive pokemon and won’t be good offensively until it’s hp is below half
I really like the design and concept of Oricorio; but the drawback is that it doesn’t get any electric/fire/psychic/ghost moves until revelation dance at level 40.
https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/#decidueye+crabominable+oricorio+lycanroc+salazzle+golisopod
This gives you fairly good coverage and doesn’t repeat any types. I can certainly vouch for Salazzle being a powerhouse as I just used it in my play through… can’t speak for the others but did encounter all in game.
Thanks for the suggestions!! I’m not sure how it’ll play out, but this helps!
I caught a blue core, that makes me happy since blue is my favorite color.
I want a blue or pink one (def not yellow, it looks bad on minior IMO)
@StarStorm
Dunno if you ended getting rid of your Minior, but it can learn Psychic. So that’s pretty solid even though not STAB
I swapped it out for Lycanrock but that is nice. But my Primarina and my Raichu both already have the move so :S
Haha yea that’s fair
Ew my rockruff I’ve been training all game is modest. :/
Not that it’ll matter for an in game team, but still.
finally! I caught Lele! It was hard, I screamed on chat, my starter is probably annoyed at me, but I caught it! Now for the final one….the bull.
Well Done!
Thank you! And Bulu was soon easy, it took les than 1/15th of the time.
Time for the lush jungle trial. I bet this is going to be incredibly easy, I have salandit and two flying types on my team so far.
This game is so much longer than all of the other pokemon games. I’m about to enter lush jungle and my play time is already 17 hours.
Post Game time… first up is the Tapu’s!
Now I’m curious: how long did it take you to finish the main story?
33 Hours and 27 Minutes according to my trainer passport but i would say a lot of that was standby so i would guess 24-28 hours of playtime. It certainly is the most well developed game so far!
Thanks for telling me! Yeah, it definitely seems more fleshed out than previous titles (at least from what I’ve played).
Finally! I caught all the Tapus! It was painfully hard and long, but worth it! Here’s what my difficulty chart is;
1. Tapu Lele (made me reset 1 and even the 2nd time was painful)
2. Tapu Fini (nearly made me reset)
3. Tapu Koko (used master ball on it, but probably not too hard)
4. Tapu Bulu (literally used only one move from it, then threw a dusk ball and it got caught).
Sorry for my frustration but I really wanted to catch these Alolan legends! All thats left is Cosmog and I get it from the other side (P.S is the Alter of the Moone the LAKE of the Moon on the other side)
Furret and Mimikyu are the two pokemon I ever got good use of Shadow Claw out of 😛
WOAH HOLD UP YOU CAN USE ZYGARDE 10% BEFORE THE POST GAME OH SCREW LYCANROCK
Zyagrde is OP
Anyone having framerate issues. I’ve seen some videos where the frame rate drops like crazy during Totem battles and double battles.
I’ve only had minor hiccups. But I’ve heard if you don’t have a New 3DS, it gets rough sometimes.
Damn. I’m not gonna have fun playing these games then. :/
I’m hyped for HD 60 FPS next year.
I just found a shiny adamant crabrawler!!!!!
cherish it never let it go
It’s my first ever wild shiny. I was frozen for about 30 seconds trying to process haha
No guys like. ZYGARDE. THE COOL VERSION. I’m so excited because I loved the 10% form when it was revealed now I’m using it on my team and I love it
Do you get the Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves moves on it?
No just lands wrath but thats fine. Gotta be balanced
Once you find the cores that have those moves you do.
Oh that’s how it works.
Zyagrde 100% is OP as hell competitive by the way. Takes 47% from +6 Azumarril Aqua Jet.
It just sucks that Zygarde 100% is locked behind an in-battle transformation.
Yeh, but if you run Sub and any set up move it is insane. Chansey needs 3 Seismic tosses to break a Sub.
Tapu Koko only does 50% with HP Ice.
It can live crit Ice Beams from Tapu Fini.
Honestly if it wasn’t hidden behind a small handicap it would be even more broken
So Zygarde 10% seems like the better option then to get to Complete Zygarde? Since it can set up fast Subs.
Complete Zygarde is my favorite legendary <3
If only it got some plot relevance in the games one day…
I actually use a Zyagrde 50% with the same Sub Coil set I used to use before. But now with Thousand Arrows Skarmory doesn’t even wall it.
I wouldn’t say its my favourite, it’s still got some competition from Groudon and the Latin Twins (and of course Tapu Bulu).
And yeh, it definitely needed it’s own version to complete it’s story. Kind of sad how they passed it over.
According to serebii once you collect all 100 cell (the cores are included) that when you can assemble the Zygarde with Power Construct ability and thats when you can teach it Thousand Arrows and Thousand waves via Zygarde Cube
20 more zygarde cells to go
Also, how are people finding the loading screens when traversing an area?
Quick.
Do you prefer it over the seamless movement in previous games?
I don’t mind it. I got used to it somewhat in ORAS. It’s very seamless 🙂
I prefer it over having a building before every route that is nothing more than a hallway.
So for those who have beaten the game, do those empty plots of land in the various cities serve any purpose? Or is it likely something to be addressed in a follow up game (Star?)…or not addressed at all…Couriway Town ;~;
Went to second island I don’t know what Pokémon I missed based on the percentage but only my pikipek and Rowlett evolved
I have a question. Has anybody found any references to the 8th Generation games, like how the Strange Souvenir was in X/Y? I know they keep shoving Sinnoh in our faces to indicate their inevitable remakes, but X/Y foreshadowed both ORAS and Sun/Moon.
Ryuki I believe. He says he’s from another region (note he does not say, “Far away,” like most NPC’s have been saying so far) and his attire and such makes me believe he’s from a China-like region or another region based on Japan or an amalgamation of both since Ryuki is a Japanese name that means: Dragon Rider.
China will be cool. But damn I wanted Pakistan/India.
IMO an Indian theme would be good for 1 city not a whole region.
They’re just as rich in history and mythology as China so I really couldn’t disagree more.
Mythology I think they are richer not sure about history. IMO China is better because they can combine high tech and old Chinese style to the game
Yep, just as I’d believed. China and Chinese mythology is up next! (Makes sense, since Pokemon now officially offers Chinese language. What a coincidence). Now I also bet they’ve snuck the names into the game somewhere, like the Sundial and Moondial.
I agree. It’ll be quite the profit as well considering how huge the Chinese gaming community has surged and if Pokemon can somehow create a game that caters to the Chinese fans yet keep global fans happy then it’ll be another jackpot market for them to conquer.
I’m really excited, 2019/2020 can’t come soon enough 😛 As soon as I finish the story (which is soon), I’m going to talk to every PC and not leave any stone unturned. I don’t think anyone really considered that the Sundial and Moondial were direct references to the next games. I think the same situation will probably happen here.
They better make the main city based off Hong Kong in order to make them happy. They hate when mainland China gets preference.
I’d love a pure Dragon type legendary based on a Chinese dragon
I’d bet you they’ll do the opposite of what we’d expect. Two box legends that have nothing to do with typical Chinese mythology, then a Chinese Dragon trio with Dragon/Fire, Dragon/Water and Dragon/Grass typings.
That dragon grass typing is awful though. it has to be the fast sweeper of the trio
Had a better luck today and finally found a Crabrawler.
Updating my team:
Dante, the Torracat (Lv. 17)
Tina, the Trumbeak (Lv. 16)
Jacob, the Crabrawler (Lv. 15)
Gellert, the Rockruff (Lv. 10)
Ps: I’m really slow compared to you guys. Playing the game since friday and I just beated Hala.
I’m at same place except I’m in the Western town on Akala for now
Nothing wrong with that. I plan on taking a very long time so I can get the most out of my own personal experience.
Congratulations on your Crabrawler catch, I hear it can be annoying.
Rockruff was really hard for me to level up and I caught it at level 13. All it knows is bite and spearows were outspeeding it.
Blaaaahh is there a way to make dying clothes less expensive on berries?
You can do that? Whoa dude…
Yeah in the Festival Plaza. You can either dye one color with FC or choose any color if you have enough berries
I want a Pokemon game where you have to time travel to save the present, but the person helping you was actually the villain and made you fix time in his/her favor for world domination, and you realize no matter how you try to change the past, doing all you can during the present for a better future is all that matters. That was a really long sentence…
Tapu Lele caught…surprisingly easily. Half health and Paralysed on the 2nd ball!
Should I take Yungoos off my team it -hogs way too much spotlight on refresh over Brionne
-Dies a lot
-Holds Normalium

*fangirling*
Headlines reading like, “Pokemon is back and stronger than before!” -_-
Am I missing something because Pokemon has always been here and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It may be true that thanks to Pokemon Go, “Genius” marketing from Nintendo, and the 20th anniversary that Pokemon has essentially hit a 2nd peak, but it was always here, HAS BEEN SLAYING, and WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO DO SO.
PS: Just this past 4 years, Pokemon sold over 35 million copies worldwide so… yeah… it was always here in case you needed more proof.
I’m now at 33% for my Alolan Dex! I’m really happy with the amount of variety on display. It really does all come together.
I love Minior. It’s adorable. But this species is out to get me. 3 caught for my living dex. All 3 violet.
Violet! you’re turning violet, Violet!
Crack them open before you catch them!
Between Self Destruct and their lowish capture rate, I’m happy enough spamming Quick Balls xP
Tapu Bulu CAUGHT! Paralysis is really working for me, 3 down and 1 o go!
Is anyone thinking about trying to totally complete the regional dex before Bank gets updated? I think I might.
Me! After i get the Tapu’s and the Ultra Beats I am going to complete each Island’s dex as i think you can only complete Sun and Moon once you have all 15 stamps and Pokedex accounts for 5 stamps!
Me, absolutely. Doesn’t seem like that daunting of a task.
Probably not. I don’t want to have to release or move a bunch of pokemon out of the way when I’m trying to transfer my living dex to Sun
Does anyone know if you can battle both Red and Blue right before the battle Tree at the entrance or do you have to choose 1?
Does anybody know where the Gothitelle top is found? Which store?
I wish I knew a for sure to tell you, I know I saw it somewhere in the beginning and I want to say its on the first island but I have to double check, don’t want to give you the wrong info
Tapu Fini CAUGHT! By far the hardest to get though as you cannot paralyse straight away due to Misty Terrain and it uses Aqua Ring to restore health…
No joke I think I’m gonna use my Master Ball on a Belgium first chance I get. Just ran into one and wanted countless Balls just for it to Take Down itself to death.
Beldum* lmao
It would be absolutely perfect if Gen 8 was based on China, now that I think about it. Gen 5 had legendaries based on the Yin-Yang, so that whole mythology could easily be fused with the next generation. It’s like those two regions already go hand in hand: a remake of some kind would be guaranteed.
The games just came out 2 days ago and your talking about gen 8 https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYGzh7pUL2SOyty/giphy.gif
What can I say, as a Xatu I’m a forward thinker ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Waiting is doing my nut in, I hate feeling left out, but 3 more days.
I completely empathize with you right now, i can’t barely hold myself from watching let’s play-video due to the craving of playing SM XD
Po Town. Po Town is awesome. I was goona stop playing for a bit but freaking Po Town man…
Po Town gave me the creeps…reminded me of Pokemon Reborn (if you are not aware…is a post-apocalyptic Pokemon game with amazing music and a similar vibe).
The music in Vast Poni Canyon sounds like a fusion between Sonic and DK Tropical Freeze, I absolutely love it.
A lot of the music in this agme seems influenced by other OST’s. I swear Plumeria’s theme borrows from the ending of Star Wars: The force Awakens!
Okay Anabel is HARD!! Beaten twice and struggling…
Uhg, Zygarde why do you have to level up so slowly? Guess its back to Lycanrock
The fact that zygrade 100% ONLY has higher base HP annoys the fuck out of me. You have to be below 50% just to turn into that form and you don’t have any reliable recovery in the first place.. https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYGzh7pUL2SOyty/giphy.gif
It’s not just higher it’s doubled ….actually 50% will make alot of trouble with dragon dance.
And the fact that Zyagrde 100% is still broken as fuck makes me laugh. Imagine it was 100% form from the get go
I’m still mad we never got a third game for gen 6 for X and Y that explained who AZ was and what the strange souvenir was about. Not to mention we still haven’t gotten AZ floette despite it being in the games data. Looking back X and Y were messy times and probably a test run for a 3DS Pokemon game.
Yea, I would have loved to see AZ’s plot explored more heavily. Yet, Genereation 6 was more of a trial as you said. GameFreak was just getting adjusted to the 3DS, so I cannot fault them to badly. I still enjoyed Generation 6 for what it’s worth. S/M is obviously superior and I like the plot more in that game.
Why doesn’t Primarina get Moonblast? It makes no sense. Hopefully they add in move tutors in Star version or something and fix some movesets up a bit
Ehm it does. Learns it at Lvl 44 i think.
Oh. nevermind then 😛
Need a bit of guidance for my team. I’m not getting Pokemon Sun until Christmas, so I’m going to have to wait for about a month. Yet, that doesn’t stop me from making some teams. I decided to use Rowlet as my starter and for right now, this is the team I created:
Decidueye, Arcanine, Magnezone, Araquanid, Alolan Ninetales, Krookodile. Any suggests of who to add or remove? I was thinking about using Pangoro instead of Krookodile and using Alolan Raichu instead of Magnezone but both seem to work properly.
Drop anyone not Alolan form or Alolan native 😉
I agree with SomeGuy about dropping the non-new pokemon. Magnezone is one of my favorite pokemon, but this is probably your only chance to use Alolan Raichu on a playthrough team. Go for it.
“This month’s secret Team Skull password is:
Tapu Cocoa”
Hear that? That is the sound of Team Skull becoming my favorite team
Tapu Cocoa is sold in the Pokemon Center cafe’s! I order it whenever available xD
Is there a better evil team than skull?
If they have Shady house no one better than them.
lol
Does anyone know when Cosmog evolves and then its evolution evolves?
Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem during a scripted event; before you enter the UB World, it becomes Solgaleo or Lunala. If your talking post game, Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem at Lv. 43. Cosmoem evolves into Box Legendary at Lv. 53. You cannot get Solgaleo in Moon or Lunala in Sun; it depends on which version you picked up.
I’m talking post-game, but thanks.
Does anyone know what the Team Skull Grunts say when you encounter them?
I hear Doduo… but I know it’s wrong
Wow, just caught Solgaleo in one Ultra Ball. How anticlimactic.
Wait, I think that may have been scripted…
That’s the point, they want to join you
I would have used a different PokeBall if I had known. Oh well!
I have one in mind for Lunala 😉
I used Dive Ball on Rayquaza in ORAS. Looks like I’ll soon have another mascot in a Dive Ball!
It’s too early foe Christmas. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1479682210655.jpg
I’m on my way to the Pokemon League now. These games are good, really good. I mean really, REALLY good. They haven’t just knocked it out of the park, they knocked it out of the city. I could not be any more impressed.
Of course the third kahuna is a dark type user who is SUPER uninteresting and boring. Maybe he will get some development?
That’s actually the joke… He’s so bored and cares about nothing
But no worries, you’ll see soon
He’s supposed to be like that. He even turned down appearing in the Elite Four. Talk about edgy.
He’s one of my favorite characters in the game. He has natural dry humor.
Him doing the Z move pose cracked me the hell up
What nature do you guys think for Tapu Bulu?
So I went grocery shopping with my parents and as we were passing by GameStop, I decided that I wouldn’t get much of a discount, if any, if I waited till Black Friday to get it, so I’m now a rightful owner of Pokémon Moon.
Good choice. It will improve your life.
It was unhealthy to wait longer than 2 days after release.
I have to wait until Christmas… My 3DS is crying.
Oh man. I thought my wait was gonna be long.
Hopefully you don’t die..
I think I’m nearing the end and I dont want it to be over its so good
I like to take a month-ish
I definitely won’t take that long, but Star blazed past me after the 2nd Kahuna. I definitely like to take my time and really embrace it all.
Any ideas for nicknames for Rowlet?
I have OwliverQueen, but it’s too long. I’m thinking of a shorter one that’ll still work. Like Green Arrow.
Owliver is good
MoistRowlett
Right now mine is named Hedjo. Name yours Queero xD (Queen+Arrow)
Are the starters shiny-locked?
Nope!
Will I only see if it’s shiny after I select it? Or will I see the shiny while they’re being displayed?
After you select it.
Have to wait until Tuesday for my copy of Sun to come in, but in the meantime, I drew my team! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2a78707b1d908af0111e00d16df5d15bb64b26d84d0c6f0b90b5d2e4a0cdf130.jpg
I also have A. Ninetales and Palossand on my team. Top taste.
Aww its such a cute style!
Thanks, yours looks awesome too!
Where do you get Palossand? Please don’t tell me it’s a Sun exclusive.
Not Sun exclusive, you have to evolve Sandygast, which is found on Hano Beach.
When in doubt, use Serebii.
Ohhh. Because i really wanna catch all the Alolan Pokemon as they all (Except Bruxish) look so cool!
I love that style!
Omg I just realized there’s this kid at my work who looks like a friggen Dartrix lmao.
At this point, it looks like my final Pokemon League team will be:
Incineroar
Alolan Ninetales
Carracosta
Palossand
Crabominable
Alolan Exeggutor
I didn’t plan on it, but Crabrawler decided to stick around and be helpful until the end so I ditched Passimian. Also, I realized that this line-up wouldn’t be complete without a joke Pokemon…plus Grass/Dragon is something I needed to try.
How bout Maple? (Girl)
Or maybe since it’s a ghost, Willow?
Ooooo definitely Willow!
Yeah. I really like that one. Would it be a girl or boy name?
I think either would be fine
I’m going with girl
Oh, make sure you save whenever a cutscene ends so you can soft reset for a girl
Just got to ula’ula island, wanting to replace atleast toucanon and mudbray. Any suggestions? Other fixes to the team are welcome too
Pic won’t load, but team is
torracat lvl 31
Araquanid lvl 32
Stufful lvl 26
Lycanroc lvl 29
Mudbray lvl 28
Toucannon lvl 30
I suggest Pallosand and Skarmory
I’m trying to only use new mons, but pallosand sounds good, where do I find them?
As Sandygahst on Akala island
http://serebii.net/pokearth/alola/hanobeach.shtml
Thanks! 🙂
You could try Grass with Morelull Evo.

This happened last night,I LITERALLY WAS WALKING THROUGH THE CAVE.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1a9aeeee414279ff2870481025d139aebf2fa55b3290444eea1044c23ef96a7b.jpg
*Remembers my shiny Minior* *weeps*
🙁 what happened?
Literally the very first Minior i encountered was shiny. And it self-destructed.
wow! im so sorry
Gonna be honest. While I did not throw a fit, emotionally I really was sullen for like an hour. Haha
man i feel you… you should hunt for one in its name
Once I knew they could self destruct hunting just sounded way too futile. I have a pink one and it’s in a Moon Ball.
Horrible
Nice! I’m sad I didn’t find a random shiny through my first story playthrough. I found my own random shiny Golbat on Iron Island in Platinum, and now it’s safe in the Bank.
Honeslty i think the shiny rate is higher to obtain people been getting shines left and right even tho the rate is still the same
I guess I got unlucky then. Doesn’t really matter too much, since I’ll force those shinies to come my way.
hey this is the first time shiny through a random encounter. im really shocked still
An NPC in the game says it’s roughly 1/4000 chance. Is that lower than prior?
a little bit
FORGOT TO POST MY REACTION https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/49c7b88268d04faf546fa1113a9e372da10693ab86fd3dbb9564fad503267d3d.png
This is my reaction when a regular Trop Kick does more than Z-Move Grass Knot
Trop Kick is my goddess move
My first shiny ever was a zubat in leaf green!
YO I GET THAT NAME!! I GET THAT NAME BOI!!!!
THE PLOT THICKENS
Ok cmon Togedemaru. I know you’re only 10% but still. Don’t do me dirty like this.
Minior knows Power Gem now and will destroy all!
IT GETS POWER GEM?
SHOOT WHY DID I ABANDON IT
No clue. I saw it’s move pool and while I was upset by only Acrobatics for Flying, it was still about to pick up some solid stuff hahaha
I need it now because I have no access to a PC and cant get my Lycanrock out and stuck with 5 pokemon
Wait so Drampa can learn Fly but Minior can’t?!
when do meteors fly up lol
Earthen hits them up
hmmm good point
That’s the only reason I can accept this.
Yea no Fly got me salty. Especially since the animation is just the Pokémon flying into the air and then smashing into the ground. Seems exactly like something Minior could do.
Minior’s shell stops him from being hurt by status!? Wow. I love this little squishy.
http://imgur.com/a/1iWpt
Guzma’s theme
ok beaten the game 10/10 probably my favorite pokemon games so far
And me here waiting for mine to arrive
Okay, that first Elite Four battle was really difficult…I’m now concerned for my wellbeing the rest of the way.
it was hard at first for me, BUT THEN I HIT THE BOOKS AND I WON *punches more books*
YAY! HEDGEHOG BABY! You will be mine!
FIRST IMPRESSION IS SO CRAZY JEEZ
fainting that thing was such a good feeling
This battle is amazing
which one is it?
Guzma at the Aether Foundation
probably one of my hardest battles
when they actually use “die” in a pokemon game
OK WOW LUSAMINE STRAIGHT UP FREEZES POKEMON TO KEEP THEM ALIVE FOREVER OH MY GOD. SHE IS BASICALLY FROSLASS BUT WOW. THIS LADY IS INSANE BUT LIKE I LOVE HER?
My outfit is perfection. And I have 5/6 member of my team. All is right in world.
My outfit has been the same the whole way through: the medium smooth haircut, the shirt with Pikachu riding a rainbow, and yellow shorts.
My general style has been the same, but I’ve made incremental improvements as I found clothes I liked more.
so whats ur guys reactions over the fact that i didnt use a komala? 😉
What did you replace it with?
Mimikyu I named it Buddy because it now owns a pal for life
You made the right choice
Its a really good mon,
You…you traitor!
I had too…. his movepool wasnt working for me
Well he’s welcome on my team any day.
So can we just have an hour long generations episode for Sun and Moon this is amazing
I’m so excited for the Sun and Moon movies, oh my lord.
The anime is honestly gold this season. I know we’re only two episodes in, but it finally feels all audience appropriate rather than child focused. It’s very funny.
Dexio’s Espeon is kicking my ass..
I also had trouble with his Espeon. I beat him, but it made it closer than I thought it would be
It outsped my cutiefly, killed it, and then one-shotted my rockruff >:I
UUUHHH! 5TH RESET AND STILL NO FEMALE! THESE CUTSCENES ARE GETTONG ANNOYING!
It took me an hour and a half to get a female Salandit.
I randomly came across a female Salandit today right before I was going to fly off and start hunting for one. That made me pretty happy.
I’m surprised so many people are finding random shinies in a playthrough, I’m super jealous lol.
is it easy to reset for a female starter? I mean, do they let you check your pokemon right away or do you have to battle and all of that bullshit?
You do check it before battle, but there are rather long cutscenes before and after picking one
Oh gosh. Popplio, you better don’t play with me and just be female right away
I got a female rowlet on the third try, so hopefully you have good luck too
Thank you. Popplio is actually the only starter I’ll use so I just have to do it once (the next few times I play I won’t be using any)
My rowlet was female on the first try! Are they still 25/75?
12.5/87.5
I have to sadly admit……I’m not sure I like having Crabrawler on my team…….I finally get it and idk if I want it anymore. I mean obviously I want it, but not for my team. I think I’m gonna go back to my other plan to use Vulpix/Ninetails. Oh well it was a good test. Nothing against Crabrawler, it just doesn’t mesh for me and my team lol
I rather like Crabrawler so far. I’m having doubts about rockruff though. Its movepool so far is bad and it’s being outsped a lot despite having a speed beneficial nature.
Yeah I don’t mind Crabrawler at all. I just don’t think it’s meshing with me right now. I think I’ll enjoy having the foxes on my team more now. Maybe in my next team it’ll be cool, but not for now lol
Alolan Vulpix is pretty cool anyway
Decided on my final team:
Pallosand
Alolan Exegutor
Alolan Ninetales
Salazzle
Araquanid
Lycanroc (midday)
No starter?
I keep it around until the league, but then it’s so overpowered cuz I play favorites with it that it does too well imo.
Also, I chose rowlet but I like pallosand and exeggutor too much.
What do you think about my second team? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a94b39a85765f4f52f796ac8a540e5788470223772e8ed95354092b5a8fb51b2.png
I like it. I mean I don’t like Bewear or Marowak, but you have nice type coverage
I wanna hug bewear soooo badly.
And my future husband kukui who has to grow up uses a marowak from what i’ve seen
I like its story and stuff, but I wish the design was different
Spoilers up to Poni Island Ok seeing Lillie in her own outfit was thebest moment ever. She is just so happy and free not having to worry about her mother.
shoot hold on
refresh
It’s 2h30 here and I’m going to bed. Hopefully when I wake up the game will already be at the post office so I can go get it before lunch
AHG Ok like seriously, where is the Gardevoir top? I saw it in the trailer but it isn’t in any of the clothes shops!
It could be a daily thing. Like XY.
No I dont think so. All the clothes seem to be the same
I don’t think they are. I’m pretty sure I found some different items the next day in the hau’oli city shop. Plus my brother found different shirts in his clothes shop
It may be in a hidden store then.
Hidden Store? Is there a hidden store?
Check Serebii. If your a male, then they finished the complete list of Male Clothing. There are daily clothes in S/M.
Female .-. Guess I will have to wait and see if it changes tomorrow
Shoot I meant Gothitelle
Hey, anyone know a REALLY good Kommo-O nickname?
Plates, Crusher, Kom the destroyer, Destroyer, and Drago-Smash!
hmmmm
kimono girl
Oh god no XD the mental image of that
Komodo Joe (from Crash Bandicoot), it’s what I named mine 😀
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
He”s such a good mon tho, any nickname would be perfect.
I knowwww
I was gonna name him Hawaiian Punch, but it doesn’t fit
You could always go with Tropical Punch
Eh, thats more a Tsareena thing
Who likes my Team idea I have first three
https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/#primarina+muk-alola+lycanroc-midnight+tsareena+togedemaru+mimikyu
TOGEDEMARU
Alolan Muk is cool. I was considering Togedemaru until I learned it gets no good Physical Steel moves at all.
I actually did have Gumshoos yet he hogged to much Refresh
How? Was he just really weak or something?
What Trial/Grand Trial would you guys consider was the hardest? For me it was obviously #4. LURANTIS!
I have done only one each so Hala
Oh ok.
Wishi Washi for sure
Wishiwashi was hard but not the most difficult.
Honestly? None, I got lucky
Trials 1, 3, and 5 were stupid easy
Trial 2 I got a lucky crit and two shotted wishiwashi
Trial 4 I had Saladit
Trial 6 was annoying but not hard
Trial 7 I haven’t beaten
For me, the last few trials were easy, as they were either weak to Fairy or Water (choosing Popplio has a majority in the trials!)
Rowlet slaughters 2, 4, and 6
Primarina can wipe out the last few which are the harder ones.
Huh… I found them stupidly easy
You probably were well-prepared then.
Eh, Refresh does wonders
One flaw of Refresh is that it helps increase cries which is bad. I once accidentally killed Tapu Fini and then it said “Primarina pulled a critical to get praise!”. I’ll have you know I gave it anything but praise.
Yeah XD
It was showing type dominance
Rip though. Thankfully I was able to capture them all without having to wait a long time again or redo the E4.
Wait do they reset after redoing the E4?
I have no idea and DO NOT want to try it out, I want to avoid the E4 at all costs.
Why so?
does Acerola’s kawainess melt you to death?
I barely won for one thing and for other it would take up so much time.
Ah
If you have Primarina, trial 7 should feel like a breeze
It was, the Totem died before even able to summon.
#5
So far Lurantis is the only one to rip my team a new one.
Between the cutscene and the battle Lurantis had me sufficiently shook
THE CHAMPION’S GOD DAMN PRIMARINA KEEPS SWEEPING MY TEAM, I DON’T CARE IF THIS IS A SPOILER. FARE THEE WELL WHO KNOW THE PATH TO DARKNESS
I don’t think spoilers work as;
1) Leaks
2) Huge amount of people have it
3) First official release date = spoilers not illegal.
eh some people like to be surprised still
No need to torture some who want to discuss for the now-minority
yea i get your point, but if let say someone talks about Lusamine in the Ultra Space I rather people hide that over the champion battle
I picked Deci so that fight will be a piece of cake
my whole team swept her
I hated the Clefable.
i had a trusty mudsdale with heavy slam
I had a trusty Primarina who had a Moonblast competition with Clefable. Also; I HATE MOONLIGHT!
hes not the champion tho, you are the champion whose defending the title AGAINST THAT GOD DAMN PRIMARINA
I’m on my third attempt now. This is the first time I lost to anyone so far, and I’m proud to say it’s the champion.
ohhh trueeeeee
Are you talking about Kuki?
Yes, but I didn’t want to say it so people would be surprised when they got to the champion.
I was very lucky when I was able to defeat him with my overleveled Primarina, my excessive amounts of revives and heals and the game’s sorrow for me.
Are you resetting or accepting your losses?
Oh I’m resetting, no way am I going through all that again.
Boooooo! xD
You wanna know something.Kukui is not the Champion. You are Alola’s First Champion and he comes to fight you to take your title and test your skills. When you rematch the Elite Four, new opponents will come to take your title, such as Hau or Gladion. The Champion Theme is technically your theme. Sun/Moon just got 100% more epic.
That’s what they mean by you being challenged! ONLY if you do a rematch, they’ll come! Phew! i thought it was a random time them calling you to challenge you, i’m so relieved.
20th times the charm *internal screaming*
you need this more then me rn https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/49c7b88268d04faf546fa1113a9e372da10693ab86fd3dbb9564fad503267d3d.png
*internalized oppression
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cdbeb3134f3bc55051148886f8066fe6941c315b5563513212da5d0b4aa0c7a0.jpg
Does anyone know where the Psychium Z is? It’s my last type crystal needed and I want it to complete the pattern on the save screen.
Its in that desert on Ula Ula. The layout’s random though so bring some repels and get ready to wander around.
Oh, never mind. I teleported to the area for Bula, and the first turn I do, I found it! I’m extremely lucky lol
poni Island’s music is so pretty
Seafolk at night is amazing!
I haven’t even finished the game yet but I’m buying Star version day one I need more Alola
it fits u
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c48531fa546a5a00f245e1a74bd3847f81c1cc666ce2a0a91a179d33568d278e.png
So if Star is the actually game, will we will have say Pokemon Star on here so you dont get confused for being a great game
But I am a great game
yes u are star
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e310e3cf6a8d715ce7e4f333e405db8b5b7583b3afff647dd03ed6354b374ced.gif
IM NOT
OK GOOD. BUT YES I AM A GREAT GAME
I WAS AGREEING WITH U
OK IM GLAD WE AGREE SORRY
LETS GET MALASADA
THAT SOUNDS GREAT
SEE YOU THERE
That’s exactly what I told a couple friends earlier omg! I said I haven’t even finished the games yet, but I really hope Sun and Moon get follow ups. I want to see what becomes of those plots of land, I want to keep exploring Alola….
and then go back to Kalos!I don’t like the name of Stars. The Sun is a Star. I think it’s going to be called Eclipse upon release and focus on Necrozma. Kinda like how S/M were known as Pokemon Rainbow or Niji.
It would be Rainbow I believe
or Eclipse
I have a theory for why its Rainbow
because of the prism like legend and the codename?
Yep :3
Or Planet.
I think for Pokemon Star it should revolve around Minior and in the game Lillie returns, telling us about the mysteries of Cresselia, Lunatone, Solrock, Minior, Solgaleo and Lunala and how they’re all connected. Long story short, they’re secretly Pokemon from a new Star legendary.
2017: Pokemon Stars/Rainbow
2018: Pokemon Dusk Diamond and Dawn Pearl
2019/2020: Pokemon Peace and Progress (China-based games)
Are you up for the ride?
I mean I can’t get off this ride so I have no choice
2019: Flaming Fire Red / Lovely Leaf Green
2020: Freedom (you play in Hong Kong) Totalitarian (you play in mainland China)
Those remakes name…. ehhhhhhh
bleh. Why Rainbow as the name for the Third Version. It must be Eclipse! I think Pokemon might skip 2018, then we’ll see remakes in 2018 on the Switch. Also, Codename: Pokemon Stars is going to be supposedly going to be shown of in the January 12th Switch Presentation and it’s going to be releasing in Autumn of 2017. It’s about to be lit!
I hope Dawn plays a huge role in the Gen 4 remakes and my ideas are;
2021; Pokemon Frigid and Humid (mascots being Ice-Water and Fire-Rock)
2022; Pokemon Ultra-Black and Super-White (Unneeded Gen 5 remakes)
2024; Pokemon World (all generations combined; only about 50 new Pokemon due to HD focusing, uses up 10.2 GB on 3DS)
Pokemon…Super white….? >.<
I don’t know, Pokemon Dark White and Light Black?
Is Bianca running a starbucks now?
Pokemon Ultra-N-word
Lmao cringed so hard when I read that
3ds will most likely be long gone in 2024 lol
The 4DS could be around!
Inb4 WiiDS is a thing
Ughhhhhhhhhhh me and my family all got acute head colds
I lost 3 hours to sleep and most are done……
Earthen, I must ask
Opinions on the ground Z-move dance?
Don’t care
It make things go ded
Ah
It looks cool :3
OKAY I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF US FIND THE THE STARTERS CHOOSING US ADORABLE BUT NOT ME RIGHT NOW!!
trying to get a good nature for Rowlet?
No. Trying to get Female.
Is Bold a good nature for Primarina? Not that I’ll reset the entire game.
I’m not the guy you wanna ask.
WELCOME TO THE WONDERLAND OF THE CUTSCENE… i spent an hour doing it over and over
an hour and a half for me.
I shiny hunted for Fennekin in X/Y, and I thought it was bad w/a 2min cutscene. I can’t imagine shiny hunting for a starter in this game.
I just noticed the bell sound that plays when your pokemon is at red is completely gone!
…i kinda wish the low health music from b/w makes a return.
That music really frightened me though it made me panic.
Yeah but only on wild and trainer battles. Gotta hear that sweet sweet Lusamine theme
Or each theme could have an intense version for low HP. 😉
OMG I HADNT NOTICED!! It was annoying, more so in b/w where it changed the song all together, glad to see it gone xD
I doubt none remember
I spent 2 hours hunting a Jangmoo and it kept summoning Hakamos
This one Hakamo busted out 26 balls
And the damn thing was Quiet Sp atk+ Speed-
Welp….
Oh man, why didn’t I think of doing that…
Because me is smrt yous is dumb
Back with another update!

Raichu – Loaf Lv.45
Salazzle – Sédfeur Lv.46
Tsareena – Matri Lv.46
Mimikyu – Stitch Lv.46
Lycanrock (Day) – Luca Lv.43
The story is perfect
IF SUN AND MOON DONT GET NOMINATED FOR GAME OF THE YEAR I SWEAR TO GOD. THESE ARE SOME OF, IF NOT THE BEST GAMES ON THE 3DS
Game Awards already picked everything
PRE ORDER VERSION OF CALL OF DUTY INFINITE WARFARE LIMITED ULTRA RARE COLLECTOR’S TRIPLE DOG DARE EDITION REMASTERED
GOTY
Call of duty didnt get nominated for anything actually. Fates is up for best handheld game
I’m still salty though
I’m also still salty that Undertale got totally cheated out of best indie on the spike tv game awards but what ever
How many awards did Overtrash win? All of them?
what? Overwatch is amazing though.
I have some personal grudges….
it didnt even start yet. it all starts December 1
(Sigh)
So far best pokemon games imo! The story so far is topping bw’s, the difficulty is not as low as xy and not as high as dppt which makes it hard but fun, the graphics are stunning and the soundtrack is just outstanding!
Pokemon Sun and Moon honestly best things in every category of 2016, TBH.
I have some ideas for 3rd Pokemon S/M games;
Star; Minior’s secrets get revealed along with more in-depth involvement of Cresselia, Solrock and Lunatone.
Planet; Lusamine and Lillie return. Lusamine is now the heroine, and this is about 5 months after S/M. Lusamine has completely gotten out of her evil form and has integrated back into caring gentle mother, however secrets of the Lusamine family are revealed including their father being the leader of a rebellion known as the Planetary alignment. 2 new legendaries for this champ
Rainbow; this game is mostly focused on the story. It’s basically revolving around Team Plasma and Guzma.
*Skull not Plasma.
Huh? It’s just going to be a Third Version. Basically, a Crystal, Platinum, or Emerald. Why the additions like the Minior lore? I rather see more of Necrozma.
I thought since Gen 7 is focusing on story (but actually have other great features unlike Gen 5) there should be a unique twist for the 3rd game.
Finally came up with a strategy for beating that Primarina. Too bad I’ve had to fail a few times, but this is a legitimately hard fight.
Champion?
Yeah, I finally made it!
I’m really happy with how difficult the games were. It wasn’t super hard but there were time when you had to really think or retry. Plus the story.
Absolutely amazing experience all around, they couldn’t have done much more to celebrate the franchise. The only time I had to retry was the champion, I didn’t have any trouble in any of the trials though. It will be hard for them to top this.
Yeah. My only problem with this game is a lot of the Gen 7 pokemon are generally slow. And lack of move tutors (Though they always do that with new gen game) I love this game still though. It was great full of surprises
My Alolan Ninetales is very fast, I guess that counts right? 😛
I’ll allow it
I remember seeing a Move Tutor/Deleter, where were they again?
We have tutors for things like Draco Metoeor/elemental hyper beams but nt for moves like Drain punch, ice punch, icy wind etc
I remember seeing a move tutor for Dragon Ascent, so Rayquaza is able to get its Mega for sure.
Lycanroc’s movepool is so awful.
It could be worse
😉
Could be, but it’s still pretty limited.
True, Midnight is based of a trash youtube channel, so it’s only staying true to its roots
Does it get Fury cutter.. Or more accurately Furry cutter?
Day or night? My day one works just fine with accelerock rock slide stone edge and crunch
Day, but night’s is worse.
Yeah plus night stats kinda suck
Night has awful stat distribution. I don’t know what they were thinking. And it doesn’t even get accelerock
one thing i noticed and liked alot with sun and moon is like the sunlight and moonlight affects on the ground in the overworld,
No huge spoilers please, but a month ago or so I heard that you had a father in the game, but as far as I can tell, this isn’t true. Was that just a rumor?
Uh,Meowth?
…
Dats right!
LMFAO
https://media.giphy.com/media/F9DzQnxx6ZZNm/giphy.gif
does that mean fletchling was our father in X/Y? :O
No, rhyhorn 😉
No, our step-father
O-O
I don’t think I remember hearing about the player having a father. I guess that’s fake. Someone would have brought that up.
It’s true i suppose
When you read the adventure rules in your room it mentions it
When you read the manual/rule book in your room it says something like “Its a copy your father bought you *explains how to save the game*”
so our dad wrote a whole book on how to save your game
No he just bought it xD
HE BOUGHT HIS OWN BOOK?
Hmm, that’s cool. It’s not much, but it’s a step forward at least.
Shoot, I’m suddenly accepting the fact that I’m sick. I thought it was nothing and it’d pass, but at least I’m off for the next few days. 🙁
Comfey is a huge pain, it’s definitely not the pushover I expected it to be.
So I’m in the Tapu Koko battle…excuse my morbid curiosity, but given that I wasn’t able to save beforehand, I would never have another chance if I killed it?
Just use your master ball, it’s better to play it safe than sorry. You’ll get beast balls for the UBs anyways so just use it. You clearly don’t want to see what happens.
yes u do
Beat the league once more and the legendaries you defeated/ran away from reappear, at least thats how it worked in past games
Now that’s some bull honkey, I’m not going to let that happen.
Why does everyone seem to be taking the “pokemon stars” rumor like a fact? Doesn’t it have no more credibility than any number of the fake NX rumors?
I wish that it could be on the 3DS as well, I’m not ready to change consoles 🙁
its more credible then me doing more then one facial expression
I think euro gamer were the ones who leaked pokemon codename:niji which turned out to be sun and moon
Oh.
It was corroborated by GameXplain who also received the rumor independently and they seem confident, so I’m not sure. Also, it’s from Eurogamer, who made the one real and important NX leak.
Hmm, interesting. Hopefully it won’t be another fall release.
I like november releases because i can use my birthday as an excuse to get them xD
I want a summer release. Summer usually doesn’t have any games, so it’d be a nice change of pace.
Nintendo always gonna release it near the holiday season because that extra holiday dough
I’m no analyst, but wouldn’t it be better to release it late summer/early fall? Considering the demographic, it’d give more times for kids to see commercials, go see their friends who might have it, etc. Plus it’s not like if the game releases in summer it won’t be there for the holiday season.
Nah. As I said in my comment, it was supposed to release in the Summer of 2017. Yet, the stopped developing the Switch version to polish S/M for it’s release. Now it’s going to be released in Fall of 2017, while Breath of the Wild takes the Summer 2017 spot.
It’s a legit rumour. Top Switch leaks such as EuroGamer, Laura Kate Dale, and even GameXplain has verified it. It was supposed to be a Summer 2017 title, but development on the Switch version halted to polish S/M. It’s going to be a Fall 2017 title, with Breath of the Wild being a Summer 2017 title. It’s going to consist of new assets, HD textures, better lighting, new models and more. Essentially, a superior third version to S/M. Also, “Stars” in the name is a codename.
But isn’t a legit rumor still just a rumor?
Also what does “verified by gamexplain” mean?
Of course it’s still a rumour until Nintendo officially confirms it. Verified means that numerous other leakers have approved it or known of it’s existence. GameXplain, Laura Kate Dale (who leaked the entire Switch reveal and more), and EuroGamer have all heard details about the game from their trusted sources. We’re going to see the title in the January 2017 Switch Presentation based on what a Nintendo rep said about Pokemon Stars.
Lonk: https://mynintendonews.com/2016/11/20/nintendo-rep-claims-he-wouldnt-be-surprised-if-pokemon-stars-for-nintendo-switch-was-coming/
Thanks!
They should make a “Super 3DS” for the Switch that lets you play 3DS games
Switch into 3D
ok 25% of the dex done. getting closer… I think
Have you beaten the game?
yep
Is it true that the national dex is gone?
Until Bank comes out… yep
but its really not needed anymore to get the grand prize
its not gone, its just fused with the bank. the alola dex is what u need to complete
What about shiny charm and oval charm? 😮
Oval charm for battling someone and Shiny Charm for completing the regional dex
Oh cool!
Can’t find… Jangmo-O
Help me…. please.. dying
5% on Vast Poni Canyon
I know…. Im there… but I’m dying of slowness
good luck!
Thanks m8
Who wants my Mimikyu?
I named my Exeggutor “Exeeeeeeeeeeeegg”
Ps: Nebby stole my heart
Same for mine :3
It and lillie are definitly the most adorable characters on other news gladion is the edgiest xD
Gladion is awesome :3
Where do you go to activate the UB capturing side-quest?
Route 8 motel its right next to the pokecenter
Oh ok.
The 6 stages of Poni Canyon
1. THIS MUSIC IS LIT!!!!
2. (Commence dancing)
3. Let’s find a Jangmo-O!!!
4. Searching…. nothing appears
5. ( Slamming head against the wall to the Poni Canyon theme
6. Finally find it with a crummy nature, cry and keep looking
Everyone’s raving about the canyon music now, but I’ve been listening to it for like a week and a half now lol.
I’m on stage 2 lol
Its perfect!!
(I’m on stage 5)
Just hit stage 6…
🙁 im so sorry, hope it doesnt take as long to get the one you want
It’s okay…. I’ll try not to die
So what was the deal with gladion on the route 8 motel? I went into a room and he just said “get out.”
gamefreak employee : LETS DESIGN A WHOLE ROOM WHERE GLADION JUST SAYS GET OUT!
Gamefreak Boss: GENIUS!
The receptionist said that he’s been staying there for two years now, so idk.
get out
Story spoiler person’s name: So thats were he’s been
Yeah saw him there yesterday. It was really rude.
You know what’s rude? Walking into somebody’s hotel room uninvited.
Man, I want to cry after beating this game. I haven’t felt that way about a Pokemon game since B2W2. I can honestly say that this has been worth the 2-year wait, and then some. This is a new high standard for the series, and I simply can’t wait to see what they do with Alola in the near future, as well as whatever comes next. They’ve really redeemed themselves since XY and ORAS, two games which I felt were mediocre in their own rights. I’m excited about the future again, because I see now that Game Freak will never run out of good ideas. I didn’t believe it before, but I do now.
I hope Lillie returns/more Lusamina and family lore is in 3rd game.
She is going to return and likely leave again. It’s a third version, not a sequel. ha.
She was such a fantastic character, personality, humour and originality wise! I miss her already.
The story has changed in third versions so who knows.
I expect a slight story change similar to Platinum and Emerald. Maybe she stays in Alola for some reason. Overall, GameFreak does have some interesting plans for the future of Pokemon.
im hoping for follow ups to these games. They deserve it
It’s probably accurate to say that Pokemon Stars will be a direct follow-up rather than a remaster, if it happens at all, considering the work they put into these games. They did the same with the 1-year gap between BW and B2W2.
between gens i think we should have a 2 year gap. but games in a gen should be yearly
Can you elaborate a little?
I won’t spoil anything myself, but they do leave an opening at the end for a follow-up game. It also just doesn’t make sense to me that they’d overshadow the hard work that they’d done one year later. I think it should be a separate entity that uses assets from the original, but continues the story.
Ah, makes sense. I was confused because of the terms “follow-up” and “remaster”. Let me get this straight, so BW2 would be considered a follow up, and platinum considered a remaster?
Sorry, I’m just kinda out of it!
Yeah, you have it right. There’s a bit of a Grey area (very punny) with those two, because Platinum definitely makes some big additions but B2W2 try very hard to distinguish themselves from the originals.
Great, thanks! I’d love either tbh, sequels/remasters have always improved on the originals.
B2/W2 is a direct sequel to B/W. Essentially, a follow-up. Platinum would be considered as a remastering of Sinnoh, making the game better. Pokemon Stars will be basically the Crystal, Platinum, or Emerald of S/M. Yet again, basically a remastering of Alola in HDDDDDDDDD.
Well, EuroGamer states that it’s just a Third Version. So, similar to Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum. I doubt it’s a sequel to S/M because what would you cover? I wouldn’t mind a timeskip in the game or the edition of another region though (maybe the addition of going to Kanto with Lillie or Red & Blue). Still, it’s going to reuse a bunch of S/M ideas with completely new models and HD everything. Overall, producing a better and smoother experience.
Only on the second island, but I can definitely see what you mean so far.
Pokemon Sun and Moon; Black and White done right and more.
After seeing all the stuff about the game, it hurts that I have to wait till Christmas. Sun/Moon seem like the perfect games in the series. It’s was an outstanding change of pace. I cannot wait to play it myself and get the third version of the upcoming Switch. GameFreak really has shown that they still got it. Also, why the hate for the sixth Generation? I loved X/Y and OR/AS…
This is MY department! *cracks knucles*
I hate 6th gen because. . .
1. Forgettable characters with no development
2. Recycled story
3. It was way, WAY too easy
4. Little to no post game
5. Very boring region
6. Comparatively lackluster remakes
To name a few.
Ppl looking for female salandit complaining and im here like “bruh that was literally my first encounter in Wela volcano park”
TWO HOURS
Plz dont hate me it was salandits fault 🙁
Nah, you’re all good, I’m just stating my struggles lol
I heard it’s like finding a male Litleo… My body just shakes as I remember my struggles.
The worst part… not even a good pokemon
How is it that the plot just keep getting better
because the 2 year wait was totally worth it
I’m really happy people are really enjoying these games. Just remember next time around, no need to break out into a panic when the leaks don’t meet your expectations cause the game itself could still be fudging magic.
I agree completely.
I FINALLY CAUGHT A JANGMO-O!! THANK GOD
This music for the Ghost/6th trial omg perfection
Got Willow on my 28th reset. I just finished the festival, but I have to stop for the day.
Right now, i can only appreciate it for the graphics because I’m not very far in, but soon I’ll see the story.
I caught Rockruff after I boxed Gumshoos my team
Goofball lvl.20
Honeybeard lvl.19
Rufus lvl.13
WAIT
I’ve been switch training wimpod for 9 levels now because of its moveset, and it can learn TMs!?!? I wish I would’ve known this earlier.
Goddess Tsareena just destroyed the final Kahuna 😛
I understand that a lot of you have gotten far in the games. Here’s a question. How early on can I get my team members (pre-evolutions)? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ef9607ab75a39f34cd7b39acea5cb534441752d13262ac5cdf96d69dde8aa6fd.jpg
Rowlet – Obvious
Crabrawler – Before the first trial (RNG though. it randomly appears when you pick up berries)
Salazzle – Right before the fire trial on the second island
Araquanid – First island
Minior – Third island before electric trial
Exeggutor right before the final kahuna
Aquarachnid is the second island I thought? Brooklet hill?
Yep, thats where
Araquanid is second Island
oops you are right
So can I not find an Exeggcute earlier on?
I don’t have the game but I could help a bit:
MeleMele: 1, Akala: 2, Ula’Ula: 1, Poni: 1.
1. Very early
2. Quite early
3. Early-mid game
4. Late-early game
5. Mid game
6. Late game
This blackbelt just said “good morning! morning for short!” and it’s the middle of the night.
._.
He must be Drunk as hell to think he’s in Moon and not Sun…
YEEEEEEEES! AFTER 3 AND A HALF HOURS OF ALLY CHAINING, I have the honor of presenting to you all, Fenrir! My newly acwuired shiny Rockruff!
(edit: dammit it doesn’t let me post pics from my cellphone)
Ah, congrats! 😀
when u chained what did u do when they dont call for help
Adreneline orb?
yea but sometimes they stop calling
IDK then
Either I switched between pokeballs, used status moves like Sand-Attack
or if you try to use another Adrenaline Orb, it says it has no effect but it won’t spend the item. so if you have 30 Adrenaline orbs and use 1 during the battle, you can use that very same 1 over and over through that battle, keeping you at 29 adrenaline orbs.
Also, you should switch which is the ally pokemon every now and then so that they don’t run out of PP and Struggle themselves to death.
it took me over 3 hours of chaining, so I’d say it was at least 150 Rockruffs. Lil suckers are annoying to beat mostly cuz they keep spamming Leer and Sand-Attack lol
Oh right Remember that fake region I was making for types of Grass and Water Starters final typings here’s the picks
-Grass/Fighting and Water/Flying
-Grass/Flying and Water/Fighting
-Grass/Steel and Water/Ground
-Grass/Ground and Water/Steel
Which one guys?
The first one
Grass/Steel and Water/Ground.
Oh right what they will be based on depending on type
First one- ??? and a Flamingo
Second- A Cassowary and a ???
Third- ??? and a Clam maybe?
Fourth- Want to know what no not this forget this one!
First ??? – Raptor
Second ??? – Platypus
Third ??? – Patches of knife-like grass (crab grass probably?)
Fourth – A turtle and a penguin… oh wait.
Not the fourth, otherwise Sinnoh is confirmed…
My pick is the first one.
I like it too yet I do want the General opinion of Pokejungle and my Family
I think I can definitely say that Route 8 has my favorite route music in this game. It’s definitely the most memorable and it’s extremely epic.
All of akala island uses that one (I’ve been hearing it all day lol) and it’s definitely gorgeous. But tbh all of the music in this game has been phenomenal.
Oh yeah…well I like it a lot!
I love all of the Aether Foundation music. Also when You fight Guzma at the Aether Paradise and you hear a bit of the Aether Foundation leitmotif in the background
I still don’t understand the connection between him and that, do you think you could explain it to me in spoiler text form?
So going off of what Plumeria said, Guzma is infatuated with Lusamine because she sees his strength like no other adult does. Because Team Skull is comprised of only teens. So he works with her because she gives him the recognition he feels he deserves. I haven’t yet seen if Lusamine returns his affection but she could be simply using him to get what she wants
OH okay, it was that kind of relationship. I had a feeling but I couldn’t put 2 and 2 together. So because they interacted with each other, their henchmen clashed and had to interact as well. That’s pretty cool.
Yeah. Totally a really unique dynamic for a Pokemon game. They must’ve had some fantastic writers
So saucey. God damn I love it.
For those of you who have completed the game: where would you rank this generation so far with the other generations?
7, 5, 4, 2, 3, 1, 6 for me. It was actually that good.
Oooh.
I have not completed the game but:
7=5, 3, 2=1, 4, 6
Honestly never thought a region could make me fall in love with the world of Pokémon more than or as much as Unova did… But here we are.
My best!
7, 3, 5, 4,2,6,1
All of these 7s at the top and making me hyped for the rest of the game! ^_^
I haven’t completed the game.
7,5,3,6,4,2,1
OMG I can’t believe there’s an NPC who says “GG” in game! xD
Ok, so I just went into a motel and there’s a Stufful who’s been abandoned by its trainer…I feel so sad…and am now reconsidering using Bewear on my team over Kommo-o. Thoughts?
Do it. FOR THE STUFFLE!!!!!
YES!!!!!
Well, if you can’t help THAT specific stufful then there’s no point in making it more jealous by using a bewear.
Also I hate bewear.
Stuffle has been tugging at my heart strings all game. Every time I hear that cry I just go awwwwww
I have a similar problem; I love stufful, hate bewear.
I just got there.
Yus. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dca4a619eb986f3f402e353127c71f8b223c68ffb2ad04180e0a8ac107a57252.jpg
Pallosand buddies!
when u get 1% mon before a 30% mon u need
I’m guessing the reaction image is your profile then? xD
How did u know
Because you have flashbacks?
i always do
which mon
butterfree for 1% needed a cutiefly
Huh..
I’m considering taking a quick break from the story to chain cutiefly, but I don’t want to become incredibly overleveled.
just enjoy the game the cutiefly will always be there lol
you’re right, plus it’ll add some extra stuff to do post-game.
You could just use Pokémon from outside your main team if you still decide to do it.
I just remembered that when I found out Alola was based on Hawaii I wanted a pokemon I could name Stitch.
And that’s my Mimikyu!
I thought Stitch was Sableye already? 🙂
I guess it was but I wanted a new one 😛
I think someone asked earlier but I’m having trouble finding it. Where can I find my last Z-Crystal, Psychium Z?
Fellow Raichu users: Don’t forget to pick up its Z-Stone in the Poni Island town!
I think I like all of the alolan forms except for Persian more than the originals honestly
Having used Alolan Persian, I kind of have the exactly opposite opinion.
(Except in looks.)
Whaaaat. Grimsley is IN the campaign!? This makes me happy
Yeah but he is only there for a minute then back to the battle tree he goes
It’s nice that the cameo got to happen at least.
yeah it is pretty cool!
(shoulda been Shauntal)
Agreed.
Ugh hell no, she’s so bland/annoying, Grimsley is amazing :p .
That said, well done GF, you bring back one my two favourite E4 members, and it isn’t the one that’s clearly got a Polynesian-inspired design…
Seriously, how did it now seem bloody obvious to have Phoebe in the game?????
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
THIS STUPID HAKAMO IS SO WEAK AND FRAIL
By the way, for anyone who doesn’t own the game or hasn’t finished and is wondering, it took me 26 hours to finish the story while taking my time.
lmao
I’m 34 in. On my way to Po Town.
Oh. There were a few things I missed along the way but I certainly didn’t rush anything. You must have spent more time using the other features or something.
I spent time doing a variety of things, yes. Lot of dex work. And grinding individual team members. And I try to explore every little nook and cranny before moving on to whatever’s next. I’m just so engrossed. Haha
Heh, I used the GTS and bred extra popplios and rockruffs for trade.
I’m 38 hours in and I’m just at the doorstep of the first trial on the third island.
Oh yeah see, I haven’t done any breeding yet. I usually wait until post-game to do that anyway 😛
I was just excited to abuse my early starter trading rights (I SR for a female popplio just for this moment, so I don’t have to wait for a ditto.)
I probably save time later in trying to complete the dex.
With Europeans getting the game shortly, starters will continue to be valuable trade items.
Very smart, I completely forgot about that little detail. I feel lucky that I was able to experience this before a whole part of the world.
Jesus…how do you guys have that much time to spend playing it
I’m graduated.
Ah, I see. Only one more semester for me woop
Though I still have shit I’m working towards so I’ll definitely need to start kicking in some self control and be more productive soon.
That’s always the struggle >.<
I’m not even on the third Island yet 😛
I love taking a hit that would one hit my pokemon only to remember I have Disguise :3
HIGH JUMP KICK NO MORE F’ING AROUND FROM TSAREENA
I hope next gen they put more empthatize on ignored types like Ice and Psychic, and make 0-1 Normal types.
I actually think this gen, more than any other, we saw them really work to try and knock out many of the unpaired types so I really appreciate that.
Still no dark/electric or dark/bug :/
I’m glad that Primarina was a Water-Fairy, not Water-Ice.
Togedemaru haters are missing out. This cutie is so much fun to pet in Refresh.
I only hate that it doesn’t get a good physical Steel Move, I’d have used it if it did.
I gave it Gyro Ball and Steelium-Z. 160 BP. Good enough for me.
Leech Life seriously went from just something to make Zubats even more annoying to AMAZING
Ok screw it
I’m using my 5 rare candies to evolve Hakamo
It’s ridiculous it dies so freaking easy and has Zero moves outside headbutt
Give it return and that fighting move you get in the story
Return is poop leveling
This thing died 8 times and I seriously don’t see this thing being buddy buddy with me yet
Return is base 120 at max happiness though. Just run around with the soothe bell in that one spot in the ranch
Brick Break/Low Sweep TM… do you have it?
I do but the deed is done
It’s now level 49
Clanging Scales
Focus Blast
Flash Cannon
Hidden Power Bug

I remember that too!!
To be fair, that could also mean that she thinks she became fat.
Blackbelt is a male only trainer class 😛
That’s a neat little Easter egg though for real
Not the first time GF has had lowkey transgender NPCs. They had this one chick (holding groceries? What NPC class was that?) and she says something along the lines of how she used to be a Black Belt. And the BB NPCs are all men. And the original Japanese text was much more forward about it.
It’s cool tbh
I’m just waiting for Gen 8 where they have a flat out trans/gay gym leader or trial captain.
If Ilima is straight, I’m pregnant with a Giraffe
Ok this Kommo-o is pure garbage
I had to constantly high tail it to the center after each fight….
And right when I flew back for the sixth time…..Granbull used Play Rough….the one thing that it hates
About to do the Battle Royal for the first time. Should be interesting. lol
The Poni island cave place takes so long just gimme my moon bat
I’m really hurting for money in this game!
Stupid clothes, Dusk Balls and Timer Balls… mostly clothes.
Gotta throw out more Pyukumukus I guess…
Doing the pokemon catching quests give way more money
What is this… maybe I’m not that far yet… just about to knock on Sophocles’ door shortly… 🙂
Some NPCs will ask you to show them a pokemon and give you lots of money in return. Like LOTS of money. Around 5,000-20,000 from what I’ve seen. They are usually in pokemon centers
Oh. I did some of those. Is that one-time only though?
I already did the drifloon, feebas, and twice with Aether Foundation people…
Oh yeah they are a one time thing :/
Pyukumuku tossing is 20k a day fortunately… but I’ll look up pearl fishing as suggested above by Ariel.
Just got 2 pearl strings, it’s obviously not always guaranteed but it’s still pretty good.
Do that quest on the 3rd island where you gotta find that old womans 8 stufful that she lost. That old lady gives you 15,000 grand when youre done
Boy, I wish she gave 15,000 grand… 🙁
Don’t forget to sell random valuable stuff
It’s still not enough!
I have to do odd jobs just to make ends meet. (Like Pyukumuku tosssing…)
I fish for pearls, big pearls, and pearl strings. (I’m looking for Corsola to get Mareanie so it works out).
Bruxish is so annoying to get…
Why would you ever want to get Bruxish though?
to complete the dex
Fair enough
20% chance but magikarp has a 50% so it doesnt help
Gross so it’s like Mareanie……. Only Mareanie is worse since you need to first find Corsola which is like a 5% rate so it’s a real pain in the butt…….At least now I have one and can breed for more if I ever need to have more lol
if u could breed me one it be such a big help if not its fine ill go after it someday
Maybe soon I can. Might not be able to do so until Tuesday tho if that’d be alright.
yea yea its fine whatever works for you! since ur the one breeding lol
Gotcha. I’ll try and have one ready for Tuesday then. I’ll let you know when I can trade. If I don’t mention anything by Tuesday afternoon feel free to remind me hahaha
if i find one ill let u know
Kk
I got so lucky. Palossand doesn’t learn any good special Ground attacks until Earth Power but it just so happens his IVs give him Hidden Power Ground. 🙂
The last trial captain is so chill like I want to be her
Whelp….got rocked by some AI’s in BR…..Now I know that the competition is stiff hahaha
Battle Tree?
Battle Royale
OH YEAH
Battle Royal lol
WHY DID I ALMOST PASS UP THE WOLF POKEMON IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE LIKE GEN 5
Zygarde?
YES! Finally after a good hour caught a Mareanie
CONGRATS 😀
Thank you and my Bounsweet evolved int the process <3
Now i just gotta find one myself
Got two pearl strings in the process, so it wasn’t too bad haha
I miss Mr bonding and his creepy tactics
After days of battling, you have defeated all of the trainers in the battle tree. As your call back your Decidueye, you hear foot steps… you aren’t done…
ITS BONDING TIME
Mr bonding totally should have been a trainer in this game
Hypno
Bewear
Drifblim
idk anything else?
why bewear? I see a theme about child thieves, and bewear klills people, not steals people.
It hugs people though…
Granbull (to intimidate you)
Decidueye (so you can’t escape)
Salazzle (obviously)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Aloaln Golem doesn’t get enough appreciation that it is literally a tazer taped to a bearded rock
I love it personally. I think there would have been more hype for it if it had gotten a reveal trailer
it looks really cool
Sweet typing, absolutely hideous design
I want one just to call it Gulag.
Ok what the hell is up with that freaking Hypno in the supermarket by the Battle Royal…….? Like seriously……….What. The. Hell………..?
I was about to type something really creepy but considered the consequences of my actions and decided against it
Hahaha I mean it’s just like…..what? Is someone really using that Hypno to beg for money for them? Or is the Hypno itself like a homeless person? I’m so confused……lol
Talk to it, it’s a person!
Is it a person tho? I feel like it’s just a Hypno that someone left there to beg for them lol
:0
donate. its a person in a hypno suit, trying to get money. you get something for donating the max amount
Alright….maybe I will at some point…..It better be good tho lol
God damn. I can’t believe I didn’t beat the game this weekend. Simultaneously sad and happy about that. Haha Off to bed y’all. This has been a fudging fantastic weekend.
Also my eyes hurt and I think I gained 10 pounds.
My eyes are on fire right now but I need my moon bat
One more thing: if this line up is real… how am I supposed to have time for real life?
http://www.gonintendo.com/stories/268892-rumor-a-look-at-some-of-the-switch-s-software-lineup-plan-for
Can’t wait!
I’m so interested in Pokemon Star. If true we’ll have a game of many firsts. First main series game on an HD screen. First main series game on a console that’s not totally dedicated to being a handheld. And while it may not be a real first it’ll be the first in a long time that a gen gets split up between consoles. The next year could turn out to be very interesting for Pokemon.
so did I miss something because my pokedex says passimian has a pre-evo
Counterparts…Oranguru
I did not know that ?, so they basically will share a pre-evo at some point
Well I think since they’re exclusive that’s the reason why. Tauros and Miltank are the same way. (Although i was always hoping for a pre-evo for them as well).
ohh boo! so we may never see a pre-evo smh well back to the game I go. thanks for the info
Of course 🙂
Pearl strings worth $15,000 <3
jeeze, I was not prepared for our surprise guest at the route 8 hotel… I did win, not ending my streak here!
Well after a long day of being sick and stressed trying to catch rare Pokemon I finally have all my team at their highest potential
Incineroar
Lycanroc
Mudsdale
Crabominable
Golispod
Kommo-o
And now I wonder, should I go fight the league now or do some exploring and try to collect all the cells and TMs
It’s actually kind of sad, the moment I fight the league the drive kinda fades
Sure there’s still plenty to do
Developing Festival Plaza and Pokepalageo
Gather implements for competitive breeding and training which will become redundant when Pokebank comes through
Just so many things to see and do, it overwhelms me sometimes… I just don’t know where to go afterwards
I’m disappointed in you. you succumbed to peer pressure and choose crabominable over Bewear.
Crabrawler and I are kindred spirits
We both fight to our last breath and never let anyone get the better of use
that’s what I said about Bewear! then he single handedly swept the E4 and I realized it was all him lol

ALSO WOW I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS GAME
I don’t understamd the purpose of the name?
Because the original copyright before it was revealed called it Lunaala which is so much better than Lunala. Had to fix it
I kinda like its name, even though everyone ever pronounces it incorrectly.
–
they say Loo-nala
–
it should be said Loona-la
does anyone remember where the motel is with the abandoned angel? I cant remember, I’m trying to find it again.
Gladion: “Get out!”
That abandoned angel?
no, theres a stufful just abandoned in a hotel, I cant remember where that hotel is, but it just cries out and makes me sad
Can I just hug Lillie?
the feels…. this game is really something. still trying to find the abandoned stufful, it just breaks my heart when it cries out :c
I didn’t think they could make a better story than black and white after seeing ORAS but…. God, that was amazing
The game doesn’t let us…
well, I wish I knew that BEFORE I became champion. for those of you who do not know, visiting Kukui and showing him you have 50pages of the pokedex filled, he will provide you with a lucky egg.
Oh isn’t that just dandy…
funny, I stopped at 49 and decided to do it after I became champ, and had a hell of a time grinding the last of my team to 60 before taking on the league. the egg woulda saved sooooooo much time!
A lot of mine were sub-60 but I countered that by giving most of them at least one move with over 100 power and it helped a lot.
I decided to not use z moves, just like mega evolution. nut most of my team cant take a hit to save their lives (Salazzle, Lyanroc midday, with a DEF hindering nature, drampa is surprisingly more frail than its stats lead me to believe…) but we did it. well, bewear did it. most of it.
At first I hated Alolan forms but after using them I loved them dearly
My top 3 favourite Alolan forms
3 Alolan Golem
2 Alolan Persian
1 Alolan Muk (It’s a beast)
What are your top 3 favourite Alolan forms
yeah Persian love! mine are:
3 Dugtrio
2 Persian
1 Ninetails
1 Alolan Persian
I haven’t tried everything else, but A. Persian is surprisingly good.
I might give Muk a spin in Moon play through.
After catching 19 abras in total I finally got a Synchnorize Adamant one.
It’s time to catch Mufasa
WHAT EVEN IS THE ELITE FOUR?! I HAD ZERO TROUBLE THIS WHOLE GAME AND BOOM!!! THE FLYING MEMBER KILLS HALF MY FRIGGIN TEAM!
5% chance to find pichu my ass. ive been at this for 2 hours now. something tells me filling the pokedex in this game will be the stuff of nightmare
Just be a slave driver and let other people do the work of finding the Pokemon for you. All you have to do is hatch starter, rockruff or crabrawler eggs. XD
speaking of which, where do you find ditto in this game?
On the grass next to the long road outside the third island observatory.
In my case not only is my starter female (bred it with a male pikachu), and I traded a Popplio for a Ditto, I bet Rockruff for Ditto would’ve worked.
I cant jump into wondertrade or GTS until I sync my game, which I’m confused on how to do.
Just login to pokemon global link and there’s instructions.
I killed Nihilego in one hit on accident and I almost had a heart attack. Thank GOD they respawn.
I think I will be waiting to do that. I feel underleveled to advance any plot at the moment, and I’m al grinded out for the day.
It seems like it will be a daunting task, I just wanted to do a little legendary hunting before bed.
yeah I just caught tapu koko, and he was a b*tch to catch. nice challenge compared to XYORAS where quick balls were the same as masterballs. I caught xerneas, zygarde, mewtwo, moltres, my shiny zekrom, musketeer trio, ho-oh, lugia, kogre, rayquaza and deoxys with a single quickball each in those games
HELP ME THE ELITE FOUR IS SO HARD!!! WHYYYYYYY??!!?!
what are your levels?
57 (Palossand)
58 (Araquanid)
58 (Decidueye
53 (Togedemaru)
55 (Salazzle)
54 (Kommo-O)`
60 Palossand (soft Sand)
60 araquanid (Mystic Water)
62 decidueye (Decidium Z, Spell Tag, Miracle Seed)
60 togedemaru (Shuca Berry)
60 salazzle (mine knew Flamethrower, Venoshock, HP Grass, and Toxic, helped immensely, that poison boosted venoshock is strong, also, Charcoal)
60 Kommo-o (not sure about item here…)
try these, looks mostly to be a level problem.
Item and Level problem it seems… did everyone really level that high?!
FOUND YOU, PICHU!!!!!!! nearly 2 and a half hours of searching!
Have fun evolving it
I FINALLY BEAT IT!!!
(Props to Palossand for carrying me the entire time)
DISEGARD ALL INFO BELOW! lol congrats! my bewear pretty much did that, took out all of them pretty much solo (except mismagius, for some reason I didn’t anticipate mystical fire)
XD
Palo is actually a god XD
Flying killed four of my mons
Rock 2
Fighting none
Ghost 2
Kukui 1
I think Primarina, Araquanid or Magneton will be carrying me when I get to that point…
Araquanid is super good too
Well, it’ll probably die in the Flying encounter… 🙂
Otherwise, it might do well. I haven’t deleted Aqua Ring yet so I’d love to see them try to dent it..
Yep, that’s where mine died. Besides, it’s super good . Strong, bulky as all hell
Palossand is a total beast. Move over Golurk.
Truuuu
How long did it take you?
About an hour for the league
The respawn mechanic for UB’s has also helped with Absorption. Normally I would complain about them making the game “too easy” in situations like these, but I would have been permanently scarred otherwise if I didn’t own the UB.
Tapu Fini was an absolute piece of work (took me about an hour and multiple attempts to catch), but I finally captured all of the Tapu guardians! Tomorrow I’ll continue from UB-03 and finish those as well. After that, who knows?
So my game will be available at the post office any time today. GET THERE FAST
Good luck with that. Hope you can have it soon so you can join us!
It’s here, gonna start playing soon *cries*
Where’s my baby serenotic?
Last I saw him he said he got a very physically demanding job so he’s been hella busy and tired
Poor him 🙁
His muscles must be all aching
Frantically checking my ShopTo order page today hoping it updates from ‘processing’ to ‘shipped’ :/
MY GAME’S HERE
I need kukui to consume my character rn
Fun fact: In a certain snowy area you can talk to Kukui (Not saying where) you can ask him
“Aren’t you cold?”
You’re welcome
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
:3 its very late though
You will realize a dark secret of Kukui at some point in the game that will break your heart. He is not what it seems at first glance…
If he has a gf I’ll skin ha alive
Worse
I’m so sorry…
He has a wife.
Read at your own risk.
I like how they remembered who Burnet was
Man games are just soooo fun. I beat great kahuna 2- 5th trial Yesterday and caught and evolved a bunch of new pokemon. I have always loved the trials because they are like minigames (something i used to wish pokemon put more into their games). The difficulty in these games are also amazing. I havent been losing to trials as much. But i lost to Hau and a couple of other important characters. Love. These. Games.
I do wish they made the new pokemon much easier to find. Since i dont know the new pokemon, i cant tell if there is none in a route or if there is one still hidden and its very annoying.
Some new mons (Yungoos) You’ll get tired of seeing
On the other hand, Mareaine is a thing..
Omg it took me like 2 hours to find mareanie.
You actually found one?
Yea. Its a cool pokemon
I want one 🙂
Better clear your schedule because it will take some time
XD
(I found a shiny second day so..)
Man everyone is finding a shiny except me ?. What was it?
Mudbray :3
Use poke earth on serebii. It lists all the Pokemon on each route
Oh my jebus. Got to Po Town last night before going to bed. This place is OOZING with atmosphere.
I’m writing a lot here because i’m too excited to play lol. Does anyone else play in other languages other than English? I’m currently learning Italian so I chose to play it in Italian (I can understand 90% of it so it’s not too much of a problem).
Well I’m a white American. We don’t believe in other languages. (Just kidding.) but I’m not on any level fluent in any other language other than English.
My native language is Portuguese so other romance languages are not really hard for me, but I understand why it would be for English speakers. You should def try to learn one though, it’s really useful (in your case Spanish because you’re in the US)
I’m more focused on learning to write. Also I’d really prefer to learn Japanese but that would truely be a life long dedication. :p
When I was younger my dream was to go to Japan so I would spend every free time I had studying Japanese. I finally gave up on it because it’s too hard x) (and I wasn’t gonna go there anymore)
I (re)played X in french before.
I learned a couple of words but the grammar was just too weird.
haha I study in France and yeah, it took me a while to learn it.
I play in french since I live in France, always have, it’s just the normal way to play the games for me
Je supporte pas les noms des Pokémon en français mdr.
Ah dommage, moi je les trouve bien en général
Shout out to that one Japanse guy who donated their Popplio on GTS for a Luvdisc, I’ll make a good breeded Bwark seal out of it 😉
Im sure I’m not the only person who sees this but…
Have you noticed how much the hand gesture for the “Alola” greeting looks like the spongebob imagination gesture?
Alooooooooola
It looks like it, does it not? XD
The ending made me cry…. No sun and moon.. dun do this to me! NUUU
Also, Hau better get his chicken-skin lookin’ ass of my blonde bbu or I’ll kick his ass so high it passes the deoxys meteor
am I the only one who ships the shit out of Hau and Acerola? They both have similar gestures, both are energetic af, both are shown together quite a bit in certain parts, and I just feel as they’d be adorable
I think people are on the Acerola x Lillie ship, sorry. haha
Nyaaargh… It;s such a perfect ship though.. they don’t understannnnnd
The Championship match
It all boiled down to one opponent each
Incineroar vs Primarina
She had swept my other partners with ease but she was still going
They said that in the final round you must execute the Perfect Attack,
I looked at Incineroar, he looked back at me, our eyes pierced into each other’s minds we knew that it was do or die
I called out for the ULTIMATE SHOWSTOPPER!!!
MEGA MALICIOUS MOONSAULT Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I activated my Z-Ring and our determination materialized into pure power
THE POWER FLOWN INTO INCINEROAR, his body engulfed with red and black flames
Incineroar loose a primordial roar and shook the entirety of Mount Lanailka, as a burning arena emerged from the ground, at blazing speeds he dashed forward like a comet of pure flame, he leaped onto the ringside and grinned, the ringside stretched upward like a tower touching the heavens
His Flame belt ignited blue and black and leaped down for the final blow, twisting and turning Incineroar fell back to earth like a cyclone of fire
His meteoric downfall met his climax when he opened up his body and from his belt streams of fire that matched his Z-Crystal’s insignia and struck Primarina with a infinitely powered Impact
The entirety of Ula’Ula felt the aftershocks of the attack, standing triumphant Incineroar screamed with joy knowing the battle was won
Except in most cases, a Hydro Pump or literally any of its water attacks would have occurred…. Or primarina could have won the speed tie
Not likely this was the heat of the moment adrenaline
Those things break all constitutional rules and regulations
Just be inspired by that final attack,
I tried m8
All I see is those fast af emboars
uhhhhhh
Now that I’m seeing Litten I want it again, but I’m not a fan of Litten3. What do I doooo
Realize that Emboar outspeeds it and pick one of the two smart choices
Seriously? That’s just sad
You made my choice for me lol It’s so cute though
XD
It is, I won’t lie… It’s speed tied with weezing
Stick with popplio
OMG I CHOSE POPPLIO AND IT’S FEMALE YAAAAS
AND IT’S TIMID
OMG
See, would I ever steer you wrong? 😉
:*
Litten is the best!!! I love playing with him

How is Togedemaru?
Fantastic. Cutest thing ever to pet in Refresh. And even though Gyro Ball is its only Steel move at least it’s physical and I can throw on a Steelium-Z for 160 BP.
Yeah I’m considering it! I don’t want to wait until Poni to get vikavolt :/ and I think I need an electric type and it’s so cute!
It is SO cute! Also Zip Zap is a great (exclusive?) physical Electric move that doesn’t screw you with recoil. And it has Nuzzle. And it can learn Poison Jab through TM.
You gotta be kidding me
I used Flare Blitz on Tapu Koko and it survived WITH A BURN
They can be refought right?
So, anyone know where the hell you find Komala?
Route 11
Thanks
Anyone else not able to play till Wednesday? Feels like just me in here 🙁
Most of Europe tbh. I was lucky because amazon’s delivering early in France
I’m still waiting, but I’ve been trying to stay away from here as much as possible, seen as the people hiding spoilers has gone out of the window due to it being out everywhere else.
Waiting is Painful.
I can’t until Tuesday night
Ok why is Team Skull trying to steal a bus stop sign
You clearly didn’t hang out with punk kids in high school.
Why did they make a signature move for Eternal Floette if they’re not going to give it to us..?
Does anyone have a list of what pokemon we can find in each area?
@disqus_7XesfvfUnH:disqus use Pokearth on serebii
That’s what I did 🙂
So I’m about to face the first trial (yes, I’m only there. I’m playing two games simultaneously and I had Thanksgiving with my family all day Saturday). I see you can find Crabrawler on Route 2 which is where I am but is it before or after the trial? And where exactly because I see it has something to do with berries but I don’t see any berries yet. I’m at the graveyard currently.
There are two berry trees before the trial and you haven’t reached either of them yet. You will know it when you see them. Just click on the berries and if they shake, a Crabrawler will pop out. It is all dependent on luck.
Thanks
Also, the Berry pile is noticeably larger than normal when there is a Crabrawler in there.
Cool thanks for the info!
2 more day till I get Sun and Moon ! #EuropeBuzz :/
I’m still recovering from finishing the main story last night. It was so good and I want to hug Lillie and I don’t want this game to be over and I want Star version so I can play Alola again and omg it was so good and I’m honestly blown away from how amazing it was
I hope star is a sequel more then just a retelling 🙁
Well since it’s coming out in summer it probably will be a retelling. But it will probably be good so they can shape up Guzma, Lusamine and the other Ultra Beasts a bit
maybe shift the story and Guzma becomes the one who fuses with a ub
ok but really though, that part was amazing. Like it was super tense and unexpected and it was crazy
the beginning is soooo slow
It’s worth it though. It gets so good once you get to the second island
It is. But considering the quality of the story, it isn’t just there to handhold. It’s introducing you to Alola and the characters.
Anyone else hella jealous of the kids who get Sun and Moon as their first Pokémon games?
Not at all, I’m sorry for then for not being here before to enjoy all of the other gens
A bit, but I think Sun and Moon are really best if you’ve played all of the other generations before hand. It really puts it into perspective
That’s fair. I agree. Haha These games truely are blowing me away. Last night I claimed that I like them equal to 5th gen, but as much as a fudging love Unova… until it gets a 3D remake… Sun and Moon have topped it.
I can’t wait to see how they change Sinnoh up for the better
Those games need the remake more than any other gen. Haha Everything is soooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow.
No, I’m glad I started with Red 😛
I mean same. Been here from the beginning and it’s awesome. But they getting some hella awesome games for their first go ’round.
True. You could say the same for kids who started with gens 4 and 5 though
Haha I think every gen is a perfect starting point. 1 is… well the first. 2 was just an all around fantastic game. 3 you got a fantastic region and Pokémon. Same with 4 and 5. 6 you don’t know that the games are sorta empty if it’s your first. And then 7 is heaven.
Yeah pokemon is so accessible to everyone :3
Uh no, I may have cried from something crap like Gumshoos totem if I played it when I was as old as I did back in Sapphire. 🙂
Oh? lol Why?
I don’t think you can appreciate sun and moon without starting from the beginning and playing all of them
Spoils Lillie is probably my favorite character in this game. I just love how she goes from a shy mysterious girl to an excited and happy one. Her relationship with Lusamine is really well written and she still moves here mother even if she is seriously insane
I totally agree! There is so much about Lillie to love!
Ok I found the lonely Stufful 🙂
So my friend just said “like all of the other Pokémon games the graphics are TERRIBLE”
Then he compared it to Binding of Issac…. what?
People have yet to understand that pokemon is not about graphics
The fact that people still thin graphics are important confuses me to no end
Think*
He does know that it’s pushing what the 3ds can handle, right..?
Probably not. Like, I love him he’s awesome but he is not the smartest in a lot of places regarding games
This hurts my heart.
sun and moon soundtrack easily became my favorite
The Poni Island music and Lusamine and Lillie’s theme and all of the Aether Foundation music and GUZMA
HIS ENCOUNTER THEME
GUZMA BATTLE
What are the UB levels? 60s?
55-70 it gets higher the more you move on with the side quest
Highest is 70 right?
Forreal though GF. Do not push HMs back on us. I notice NPC’s talking about how in other regions they don’t have Poke Ride. In the DPP remakes just have an NPC say “Yea this originated in Alola and now the whole world utilizes Poke Ride!” Easy as pie.
I would be so happy if they do that ;-;
DPP remakes should also utilize walking with pokemon again( Ik Ik too many models to make walking animations for) since its kinda where it started from (amity park)
Yea. Not holding my breath haha
i mean it would be kinda cool sun and moon had alot of pokemon models in overworld
It’d be very VERY cool. Just not holding my breath. lol I’d settle for my starter to follow me regardless of their team slot placement.
hm starters following ill take in a heartbeat
At least some of them! It would be really cool if I could have a drifloon drift behind me
Defog. TM. Plez GF…
Drifloom Defog?
so…. how about that Ultra Lusamine huh? I really wanted to battle her and she summons UB-01 like a totem
well wish me luck im about to try to find a 1% mon
I wish thee luck. I hope you find it AND it’s shiny.
not gonna push my luck lol
Which one?
I have 3h of uni now uuh
I want to plaaay
I’m still at the trainer’s school
I am really excited to complete the dex and shiny hunt this gen though. Having a percentage ticking up and having an easier shiny hunting method will make it way more fun
I’m seeing everyone beating the game already and I’m barely a thing my sixth trial lol. This game is great so far!
Right now my team is
Joanne-Primarina lv35
Fae-Ribombee lv35
Rex-Lycanroc lv35
Donatella-Dugtrio lv34
Yzma-Salazzy lv34 (I hate it so I’m switching with Bounsweet)
And think I want to use Charjabug but I’m not sure if it’s worth using until Poni
Does anyone know if it’s worth getting Vikavolt so late game?
Aww Salazzle is awesome though. I loved using it. Tsareena is a goddess though so at least it’s a good replacement
Mine dies all the time and it never kills anything. Even with Firium Z :/
Did you just get a bad nature?
I did. I hunted for two hours and the first female I caught was brave. I tried to hunt for another hour and had no luck so I just used it. Lol. I’m sure it’s decent with a good nature but now I’m over it lol
Might’ve been easier just to take it to the daycare and breed for one with a better nature
Maybe lol. Oh well I’m happy that I’m switching anyways haha
That’s still pretty far. I only just got to the ranch on the second island.
I’m taking my time, I probably won’t be beating the game anytime soon since I’m GTS trading and exploring and breeding and stuff…
I’m chaining Vulpix right now… gotta get the HA… 🙂
I know Masuda was still involved as a producer, but I’m chalking Sun and Moon up as a huge huge reason to be excited for Ohmori as the head of Pokémon.
What other games did Ohmori do?
This is his first time being the head of a new gen, but he handled ORAS. (Which I personally loved) but for those who didn’t like ORAS, I think you could make a fair argument that Ohmori felt bound by working within the existing framework both for the 6th gen and for the remake.
Ohmori <3
IDK, I want the director of Emerald/Platinum back, those were great games, while Ohmori had one hit and one miss IMO.
Masuda directed Platinum.
Yeah I messed up.
Emerald and Platinum had two different directors.
Well I think ORAS is the best of all the remakes so far. But, to continue with the baseball analogy, I’d be more inclined to say that Ohmori might have swung and missed for ORAS, SuMo is a grand slam, while all other highlights of the franchise were simply home runs. Haha
Replace platinum with HGSS, my bad.
I can agree with you there, while I’m personally not a fan of ORAS, SM is without a doubt one of the best pokemon games we’ve had.
Oops, messed up, I want the director of HGSS and Emerald back.
(Literally just dropped in to dump a meme and leave)
So Smogon’s letting Aegislash in OU for testing
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4593ab7344bdead5703e3185f14b5b8c35b5346be3e5db5c5b1a4e6529a15533.gif
That’s hysterical lmao
Don’t think it’ll last long tbh, especially after the King Shield buff and the Sucker Punch nerf
But Toxapex walls it completely TBF
Toxapex usually run Physically defensive so get 2HKOd by LO Shadow Ball.
Aegislash counters Pheromosa.
All hail the mighty sword
It came from OU? 🙂
And Mega Lopunny can’t just throw a non-Mega Fake Out as a prediction to the turn 1 King’s Shield since Normal and Fighting type moves are now affected by the Attack drop
I turned off the exp share for a while in the game and now I reached the league and I can’t even beat 4 out of pokemon of 1 E4!
Time to turn it on and grind, I guess?
AHHH, the Vulpix summoned a castform instead. Oh well I’ll grab this guy first…
Earthen in tremendous pain
The wind nearly killed my gazebo and I had to take it all apart by myself before it got blown and bent
Now I am totally sick…
Can somebody please explain how to get FC for festival plaza
Because with hordes gone I’ll need a way to EV train and Level….
With hordes gone you can just chain adrenaline orb while holding power items (now +8 each) and with Pokerus.
As for getting FC you need to participate in missions. You get 3 festival tickets a day, allowing you to host up to 3, but just stay connected to the internet and randomly there will be missions from other people you can join.
Sounds confusing……
They gave out a tutorial. You probably turbo’d through that. 🙂
Talk to the green-shirt girl next to the castle entrance and you will get it.
When you met Grimsley, did you choose heads, tails, or neither?
Neither
I’d assume the moment you looked up to watch the coin, he’s gut stab you and steal your money and Pokemon
I selected the same! I remember his quote and wanted to choose that option xD His reaction afterwards was great imo.
Neither
Neither lol
Dark doesn’t play fair. That was my logic lol
And he admitted he doesn’t lol
Thus, why Grimsley is my favorite Pokémon character XD
So interesting fact of pokebiology
When I was petting my Crabominable
I noticed if you touch the light blue area of his pincers you get the frozen pain thing
So I theorize that the fluids inside his pincers are extremely cold maybe even frozen which allow super hard punches
Anyone know where a good place to grind in sun and moon is?
I’m interested in finding out what tracks Masuda composed. This soundtrack is gorgeous, so I want to know if he helped on the good ones or not.
This Elite 4 is pretty challenging without the use of Z-moves or Exp. Share. apeaking of Z moves, where does one get Eevee’s special z-crystal?
Should be fun considering i’m not planning on using Exp Share lol
I love all the super small details that they’ve put into this game. They’re really rewarding exploration and giving so much more personality to the region!
Lillie is seriously my favorite Pokémon character I don’t remember who it was before but now it’s Lillie
I was THIS close to crying near the end of the game at the things she said.
I probably would have if my eyes weren’t burning for playing it for an unhealthy amount of time 😛
But really just her and Lusamine just… the feels ;-;
Burning* wow phone how did you mess that up
Lillie is one of the best characters, haven’t beaten the game yet but she’s so sweet
Was it N?
I think it was Cynthia actually. N is up there though
Close enough. xD
I want to know the entire developmental process for these games. I want to know when they decided they wanted to make it amazing
i ordered from nintendos website and it looks like it’s arriving tomorrow for me 😀
Man, Nanu really kicked me to the curb in that second battle. Those Dark-types are tough to chew. Glad that I finally finished that for good…(hopefully)
Can somebody draw a shiny Toucannon? That thing looks freakin great
http://pokejungle.net/2016/11/04/3-reasons-sun-moon-may-not-live-hype/
Lmao
Now that we’ve been playing the game (Some of you have already completed it…) what are our teams and where are we in the games?
For my Sun version I am in Hau’oli City about to meet up with Ilima. I have Rowlet, Pikipek, Munchlax, Grubbin and Alola Grimer
For my Moon version I’m on Route 2 just after the cemetery. I have Litten, Pikipek, Munchlax, Grubbin, Alola Meowth and Alola Grimer
Primarina
Tsareena
Palossand
Minior
Togedamaru
They’re all roughly 44. And I’m in Po Town.
Primarina – Venus
Salazzle – Sèdfeur
Tsareena – Matri
Mimikyu – Stitch
Lycanrock – Luca
Raichu – Loaf
Alola Raichu or regular Raichu?
Its Alolan I’ve fought it before
Been holding off so my brother can catch up (He went the mountains forgot his charger and his DS died yet now it’s charging) but here’s my team
Brionne- Goofball lvl.20
Alolan Grimer- Honeybeard lvl.19
Rockruff- Rufus lvl.13
I’m on Akala in Paniola Town
I just lost to Dexio in Akala Island. With that, 3 losts (2 vs Ilima)… I remember to be kicked by Blue in Pokémon Red many times, by Whitney and her Miltank in Gold, and recently by Ghetsis in White. Clearly, with Exp Share off, SuMo are the most challenging Pokémon games in years.
Time to start the hunt >:D
…..Buzzwole 1HKO’d my Mudsdale….
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAH

A JOLLY BUZZWOLE IS A MURDER MACHINE
Did you SR for him or did you catch a Jolly abra?
IM GETTING A NEW 3DS XL HYRULE EDITION TOMORROW WITH POKEMON MOON !! SOOOO HYYYYPED RIGHT NOW ! THE WAIT IS UNBEARABLE !
Because I’m insane, I decided my first Sandygast should be shiny. So now I’m in the process of shiny hunting a Sandygast and oh god are they annoying to Ally Chain x_x
Damn it Rufus knocked out a Pichu…
*5 minutes later*
Yay you beat 5 Grimer in row Rufus good work!
