Let’s have a little chat in the comments below! I have honestly been way too busy offline to enjoy much of the latest Pokémon titles and am about to face Olivia now. I’ve also been going slower because I turned the Exp. Share off as soon as I got it (although I’m reconsidering its use now…).
Raves, rants about the games? Try not to say anything about the plot itself though!
<3 PJ
I just defended my champion title for the first time. Got the beasts, Tapus, anything else is just details! I really love the game, Moon, even though sometimes it gets into my skin. Like, why is your character always portraying that stupid smiley face in most situations? Even when hell’s breaking lose, there it is – always happy. It breaks the tension so much! Might seem minimal but it bothered me, yeah.
I also really like Pokepelago, but the Plaza not so much… It could be simplier IMO.
The story though, even the post game, is very nice. Even the lag in doubles and the abandonment of triple, inverse and rotate battles didn’t even bother me. The new pokemon feel surprisinly enough and really, there’re so many so good it’s crazy! They’re so vivid and refreshing, I went through the game with a rotating team of the following: Primarina, Ribombee, Bewear, Toxapex, Ninetales, Tsareena, Crabominable, Vikavolt, Araquanid, Shiinotic, Lurantis, Salazzle, Toucannon, Palossand, Marowak and Golisopod.
I was very upset about megas being absent but I really didn’t miss them, even though I still think they shoulda be included with new ones. Te UBs are fantastic, very different and all very peculiar and interesting concepts.
Anyways! I’m glad with the overall results, even though there could be more to it of course. Let’s see what Stars will bring us!
Finished the main story and caught the Tapus. Muh team is:
Kain (Decidueye, male) Lv 66 with Spirit Shackle, Leaf Blade, False Swipe and Pluck
Retsuga (Lycanroc midday, male) Lv 62 with Rock Tomb, Accelerock, Crunch and Stone Edge
Greninja (male) Lv 69 with Water Shuriken, Aerial Ace, Extrasensory and Night Slash
Jay (Flareon, female) Lv 59 with Last Resort, Bite, Lava Plume and Flamethrower
Ray (Jolteon, male) Lv 61 with Thunder, Discharge, Quick Attack and Last Resort
Nebby (Solgaleo) Lv 58 with Sunsteel Strike, Cosmic Power, Crunch and Zen Headbutt
Trying to fill the Alolan pokedex.
Alright I need ANSWERS NOW
I was going out to Ten Carret to steal 8 Everstones and TOTALLY forgot Necrozma was there, is there any way to re fight it because Kuluko my sticky fingered Exeggutor won’t come out of this alive
Kill it, defeat the E4 again then come back
Too late I soft reset
Btw how do you like my Thieving Exeggutor’s nickname
I like it
I didn’t even hesitate i bought the soundtrack off itunes lol
Oh when are you able to transfer Ash Greninja to your games?
I already got a timid one since the 18th
I mean from the demo… when are you able to transfer it to your game?
You can transfer it whenever.Just talk to Kukui in the demo,ask him to transfer some stuff,and then you can get your Greninja in the full game
Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj371d:

What the absolute fuck. Girls have 22 hair options compared to the 6 that boys can have. I’m tired of this bullshit.
I wish we could see the hair and color before they actually do it, i hated the fact i didnt like certain colors and i had to spend more money to fix it
Serebii has a guide for it I believe
the thing is, why is there no eyepatch for glasses 🙁
Or bald options?? Customization fell way flat again
BALD BALD BALD
BAAALLDD
MY EYES
I honestly think the customization in XY was better. Everything here is just shorts and t-shirts/tanks. I get it’s Hawaii, but couldn’t I have some long pants and jacket options?
I know, I never wear shorts or tanks :/
Me neither!
I ALWAYS WEAR SHORTS BECAUSE THEY’RE COOL AND COMFORTABLE! *trainer battle starts*
*wins battle*
Well, looks like jeans prevail!

I’m just salty there aren’t more hair colors
That’d be nice
As a girl avatar, I was a little sad that we don’t get to wear the Bone Keeper shirt. Marowak’s my favorite. (I saw a guy wearing it in my Festival Plaza)
We get the Gothitelle shirt tough (well if you play sun -.- ) so that’s nice
Gothitelle scares me. Marowak reassures me by beating the crap out of everything with its fire-bone.
How about the Skull Tank?
I got one of those and I see what the chicks in the hideout were fighting over them for. 😀
Well I got a Jolly Tapu Koko
But crappy IVs
Doesn’t matter, if I were going to use any of the Tapus the only one I’d use
https://i.sli.mg/68SNJU.png
the best tapu
That’s my least favorite one 😛
Hey…what you saying about Bulu?
It goes Bulu>Lele>Koko>Fini
Remember that
Tapu Lele is my pick though.
Same LeLe is the best
Love love love the game.
Currently just gotten to Ula’Ula Island, about to face Sophocles in the next trial.
My current team is Decidueye (Lv.41) – Spirit Shackle, Razor Leaf, Pluck, Sucker Punch
Wishiwashi (Lv. 40) Brine, Feint Attack, Aqua Tail, Tearful Look
Salazzle (Lv 38) Flame Burst, Venoshock, Nasty Plot, Toxic
Charjabug (Lv 39) Acrobatics, Spark, Dig, X-Scissor
Bewear (Lv.37) Rock Tomb, Hammer Arm, Brutal Swing, Shadow Claw#
Currently don’t have a final pokemon and have been flittering between Arcanine (Lv 30), Golisopod (Lv 30), Lumineon (Lv 31), Snorlax (Lv 35), Grimer (Lv 31), Comfey (Lv 30). Also I hate Bewear’s ability so I am debating switching him out. Saving that slot for a final pokemon.
On the whole I am thoroughly enjoying it and don’t remember a time where I spent so much time catching all of the pokemon. At the time of writing, I have caught 91. I have wasted hours looking for some (Bagon/Bonsly/Corsola>Mareanie) to no avail.
My only criticism so far is that yesterday I attempted a simple link trade with a friend locally and the connection fuzzed out. As a result I have been banned from all trading for 31 hours so far (I am still banned). I think this is excessive and has discouraged me from using the facilities.
What ability does your Bewear have? I wanted to use one, but I couldn’t find a Fluffy one at the time, only Klutzes.
That trade ban does seem excessive. I mean, sometimes I’m Wonder Trading and the connection gets lost. When they said “for a while”, I thought they meant like 15 minutes.
Yeah it has Klutz. The real Klutz is me though, because I didn’t realise how awful that ability was. I want a fluffy one but I’m a novice when it comes to breeding, and stufful/bewear are really rare in the game so I think I’m going to switch to Kommo’o and get a dual typing.
Yeah I just don’t get it. I’ve read they’re trying to stop cloning and that is why they are banning them for 24 hours but I have been banned for over a day and a half now and I’m still not allowed back on to trade. So frustrating haha!
I bred my traded Drampa a bunch of times to get a male with Berserk and a decent/neutral nature. It’s great if he gets almost knocked out several times and I heal him, since his ability can activate more than once. And I ended up with a bunch of “Drammas”, haha.
Oh come on!!!! I was in the middle of a super long SOS chain and I accidentally tapped battle When my Incineroar was out of PP. Note to self bring Elixers/Eithers the next time I try going for SOS hunts…..lol
Use Tapu Koko instead
False Swipe
Thunder Wave
Thunderbolt
Theif
Holding Leppa Berry
Him, Smeargle and Decidueye are the best for shiny hunting
Hmmm gotcha. I was just using my entire team in general as all I was looking for was a Rattata. So using status effects and such weren’t really necessary, but maybe sticking to a single Pokemon and just bringing a crap ton of Elixers/Eithers would be better.
I’d do Leppa Berries instead since it’s cheaper to make…
Also do you already (re)use adrenaline orbs to skip a turn?
Oh yeah I had a few Leppa berries to help out and yes I was using the Adrenaline orbs. Just me not paying attention and doing something stupid. I’m so used to the old ways of gen 6 for shiny hunting that I need to acclimate myself to this new way of hunting. Not being able to go on autopilot is a hard pill to swallow hahaha
HA hunting is way worse than before too. Need something with role play/skill swap. Trace doesn’t cut it anymore… 🙂
I think the problem with SOS battles is that they aren’t particularly fun, but at the same time you can’t go full autopilot on them. If they were fun to do then it’d be whatever and there’d be no problem and if they were easy to autopilot then even if they were boring (and they are) then you could just get through a whole bunch. Instead they’re both boring and you almost HAVE to pay attention not only just so you can tell when you get a shiny/HA, but also to keep track of their PP as well as your own…….Quite he pain lol
Ah yeah, when before we just run around friend safari/summon a horde, check for shiny or if HA is traced…
I think MM is the premier shiny hunting thing now, since it’s still about autopilot too.
How can a freaking Roggenrola not have Everstones
I’ve slaughtered at least half a dozen and only one Everstone
And I’m not the type who’ll constantly shift the stone for ditto natures
It’s only 5%.
Grab a butterfree with compound eyes to increase it. 🙂
That’s hard stones
It’s 50% for Everstones
Maybe it used to be 50%. They messed around item carrying rates.
For example, can’t get Lucky Eggs like crazy anymore from Pelippers.
;-;
You only need one Lucky Egg
But this I’m a very systematic man
I need at least 9 Everstones on all 8 of my Dittos
Well, I like having one Lucky Egg on each of the 6 team members (5 if the leader is max level) if I’m grinding.
Also what Berries are the EV killers
Stars Speculation because I missed out on a lot of it
Serious Guesses
Alola will gain Gyms, but the Island Trial will still maintain its status as *the* right of passage: Gyms are for those who go on go be serious trainers,created to filter those who want and are obligated to do the island trials. Will be the empty lots.
Trial Captain and Kahuna changes. Hala would retire, Olivia and Acerola become full-time Elite 4 with permissions from their Tapu.
Hau would replace Hala as the Melemele Kahuna.
Ilima would become Hau’oli’s Gym Leader seeing as it’d afford him more opportunities to battle, and there’s an empty lot in Hau’oli.
At least one out of Plumeria and Guzma would act as replacements for Trial Captains, seeing as Guzma owns most of the Bugium Z in Alola (Mansion) and lives very close to the Verdant Cavern (perfect for a Bug trial) whilst Plumeria seems to live decently close to Acerola’s old trial and has a source of Poisinium (getting it for you and herself).
Alternatively, Guzma would be Hau’oli’s Gym Leader.
Gladion or Wicke would take over the Aether Foundation. If Wicke becomes President, I can see it being due to Gladion being too young or him handing it to her. Cinnamon Roll deserves it.
Lillie will return and we can battle her. Lusamine is recovering, but will never be the same. She herself, along with Lillie and Gladion, would get design changes to reflect where they are now. Lusamine is less selfish and cares less for beauty but still carries hints of it, Gladion is more open with himself and in a good environment, with his own home, and Lillie will be the least changed due to already getting development but she’ll still get an outfit change.
Lillie will get Nebby back or at least seeing it again, with the old player character keeping the Cosmog from the event, or this Cosmog is how you get Solgaleo or Lunala whilst the old player character keeps Nebby.
Along with new regular Pokémon, there would be new Alola Forms and Ultra Beasts.
Some Ultra Beasts have spent so long out of the Ultra Wormholes they have lost all their energy from it, losing Beast Boost (gained from the wormholes) for regular Pokémon abilities. This will only occur for the seven Ultra Beasts from SuMo, but those transferred from SuMo will keep Beast Boost, as will the new ones.
Some Hopes
We’ll see the old player character, who has a default team (Starters/Version Lycanroc (new Lycanroc if Stars is a single game, Midday and Midnight if it’s two sequels/A-Raichu/Nebby) and appearance (boy/girl is decided somehow, probably on-version if it’s two games) which can be changed with Memory Link. (Wouldn’t use your exact sets, it’d use generic versions of the Pokémon you had first time clearing the E4, just with their nicknames to make it look like it).
Zygarde will have a larger role in the plot.
New animations for Z-Moves based on special and physical.
We’ll meet more Fallers from the old timeline.
We’d also see:
ZINNIA ZINNIA ZINNIA ZINNIA
N N N N
AZ AZ AZ AZ
Gonna breed myself a bunch of timid Vulpix because you can’t get enough Alolan Ninetales. Ice/Fairy is just majestic <3.
Can you get enough of all those frailties
One Smart Strike or Stone Edge and its gone
Can you get enough of all those weaknesses
One Sparkling Aria or Grass Knot and like all your favourites die
That’s why I super charge my Ground types with high Sp Defense
Or do the opposite and kill them before they kill me,
They still have naturally crummy Sp. Def so at best you’re talking another hit at worst you’re screwing over their Attacks, Def, or HPs
Seismitoad is immune to water and Hippowdon also can hold up to at least one grass move with his amazing bulk
And that’s all, Mamoswine can take a hit and dish out Ice Shard, Garchomp is a freaking beast, and Nidoking is fast and strong, not to even mention how unbelievably power Excadrill really is
-Hippowdon and Seismotoad are exceptions, not the rule, and wart boi is probs gonna die to Grass
-Water Types will eat Ice for breakfast
-Hello Ice
-Hello Special Attacks
Every Pokémon is flawed
Yeah yeah have you fought my team?
No, but considering the amount of time you’ve whined about losing its obvious they still have flaws :p
Only to legends
Then that’s their flaw
But a good 75% of the time my teams do well
And you must admit most legends are a pain to deal with
When I play Sun, I’m sending a Vulpix and a Sandshrew egg over so I can have one for the whole trip without the Exp boost. I was disappointed that you couldn’t get one till you were almost at the Elite Four. I might also send over a Jangmo-o.
In Moon, I traded for a Drampa and raised mine from an egg so I could have one way before then. He wasn’t terribly useful (a bunch of weaknesses) but he was cute and I loved having him with me.
You can get Sandshrew and Vulpix before Acerola’s trial :p
WHERE? HOW? I QR scanned them and checked the Pokedex and everything!
Tapu Village
Like where those random Snorunts pop up sometimes?
Yup! 😀
Pokedex lied to me! Curse you, Rotom!
Found the info: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tapu_Village
I didn’t explore there much because I was tired after trying to find a Mimikyu in the grocery store. I still haven’t.
Question: What color was the first Minior you ran across? Mine was pink/red.
Light blue, I think?
I think green
Green I believe
It’s funny because the pink one was probably my least favorite color, but I’d resolved to use the first one I caught because of the Train on commercials. I went on to catch every color but yellow that day, and I think indigo (dark blue) is my favorite. I love them all though, with their swirly eyes.
Ability’s pretty good too, but I don’t send them out first when I’m hunting for rare pokemon because the animation takes too long.
When I build a competitive team, I’m using Specs Tapu Lele. Just be prepared for it. Ok, cool. Thanks.
By all means I gotta have a Excadrill or maybe a Aggron ready for that thing
Because Psychic Terrain hurts
Seriously it does a lot of damage to those who run Golisopod or Lycanroc
Imagine if they predict and Focus Blast you to hell XD
Lol. Specs, Psychic Terrain, 130 SpA. Probably still a 2HKO on those resists.
This is where the ‘lel’ part comes from ‘w’
What about a Skuntank?
Sure you wanna risk a Specs Moonblast.
You need Metagross. Mega solves the speed problem too, if that’s allowed. (It is in Smogon but not in VGC.)
I did it!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f249a73ac3531a37df70379d8266be1729590cdcbe98d0643af76d9bec99c96.jpg
Jealous
Only just getting Melemele done after I evolve Rufflet
I’ve been going crazy the last few days getting the few pokemon I had missing. FI shingles up sharpedo and relicanth was not fun at all
I’m just mad with power now that I can just trade stuff of for Turtonator XD
Literally just traded away a Turtonator for Luvdisc 😡
Congrats! I still have a lot to go before I get to 100%
Thanks :3
Wow nice job!! That must have taken a lot of trading/wonder trading/ having both games lol
Looooots of grinding haha. And the GTS for version exclusives and trade evos
let me put it this way, my Marowak, who I used to catching/grinding, went from 59 to 93 by the time I was done xD
Soon I shall join your ranks… soon.
Wow,nice job,dude.I still have tons more Pokemon to catch for completion
I got it too! It was so damn hard, but i did it, finally!
I think my first competitive team will be a Hail Team. Alolan Ninetails and Sandslash combo
That is the first time someone has said that and it would actually be viable
I like weather teams. Hail needs some love
And there’s that new Fairy move that works only in a hailstorm. It’s a TM.
Funny you should ask
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-485648537
I didn’t
You and Ultron’s shade gives me life
Fine, Funny coincidence
But I totaled that team’s weather chances
He was such a bad player though. Granted Mamoswine does a number to that team.
Because Everyone underestimates the swine!
Seriously 130 base attack
Solid 110 Base HP
Access to a priority STAB Ice Shard and since I run a Adamant holding Expert Belt it hits like a ballista
Earthquake nuff said
And Thick Fat helps cut down incoming Ice attacks
I just freaking love this thing
Vast Poni Plains is kinda similar to victory road
I feel like it’s the replacemebt tbh
The actual victory road in this game is trash. 🙂
It literally is. Mount Lanakila is just a one way path to the Pokemon League. I like this change tbh
Why the hell do I have to hatch 20 eggs to used the IV judge. Stupid game. Obviously I need the IVs to be good before I can start breeding and getting eggs
I already had 20 before I reached the guy because I duplicated my starter for dex completion trades. Heh heh heh.
You need to show him that you have absolutely no life to earn his trust
Now I have to waste time hatching 20 useless Pokemon.
Think of it like this my….chum?
20 pokes is 20 WT fodder, and if the East is breeding and also doing this 30% of the time you can get some seed Pokemon
Still retarded. I caught an Adamant Ditto with I think 4 perfect IVs but i can’t confirm because of this stupid shit.
I will laugh my ass off it it has only 3
You mean, 20 trade fodder Pokemon!
Make 20 jangs/starters/turtonators/vulpix and GTS them out for dex completion.
New question, then I have to leave for work: What was your favorite trial to do?
I liked Kiawe’s fire trial because it was so funny! I’m still laughing.
None, boring as heeeeeellllll
Playing tag with rodents
Then with fish
Watching a pitifully easy “which is different” game
Fetch quest
A quiz (I will gleefully admit I got them wrong to shock Sophicles)
Pokemon snap Halloween edition (I will also it I jumped a little when it was behind me)
And lastly fight a dragon, don’t lose
You forgot the Fairy one, which is to say, it didn’t even exist
I would’ve blinded her with her own paint
I was like “A wild Hippie appeared!”
KILL IT
When I first met her I was so confused cause I’d only seen the leaks showing which Pokemon were totems and I knew the last was Dragon, yet here the 7th Trial Captain was, a Fairy user, I thought maybe that leak was wrong, that is of course, till the end of Vast Poni canyon
Well, the incredibly boring fetch quest that ends with using a Rare Bone in front of Mallow! Press A to Pound.
I know right!? It’s almost like it’s a kids game
Trials were incredibly boring as predicted. Some of the Totems were Ok I guess.
Kiawe’s trial is short but sweet.
Sophocles’ dark room is kinda funny too but it takes too long.
Maybe Mallow
The most exciting was definitely Wishiwashi’s
Lana was the trial captain
Oh boy I almost forgot about the Meloetta Event with all this Gen 7 Stuff happening
IMPORTANT!! Meloetta event now live in Europe and Australia
Okay, so I’m taking a break from Moon to play Sun and catch up…
Moon I’m currently right before you battle Gladion (I actually battled him already but then traded my Lilpup for Bounsweet and realized I didn’t want to trade that Lilipup so I had to soft reset and didn’t save before). My team is Torracat (which is the greatest starter ever!!!), Crabrawler, Rockruff, Trumbeak, Fomantis and Egg (the Eevee egg from the daycare). They are all level 22 except Fomantis cause I just caught him.
Sun I just left Ten Karat Hill and I’m making my way to the Harbor to board the ship to Akala Island. I have Dartrix, Crabrawler, Trumbeak, Rockruff, Munchlax, and Charjabug. All level 18.
I got excited for my Moon cause I’m so close to getting Wishiwashi and Oranguru and they both are on my Moon team, and I just battled my best friend/rival (and sadly lost, but not by much. He brought out his Litwick and I had Torracat and we were both down to our last Pokemon… And I couldn’t use Scratch or any Fire type moves so…). And now I’m pumped and fired up to get my Wishiwashi and Oranguru and rematch him and beat him!
Didn’t you have bite at that time?
Not on my Torracat, that comes at level 24… Torracat was level 21 at that time.
Ah too bad, that was close fight still even if you had it. 🙂
Yeah! It was great. Torracat took out three of his Pokemon… Once my team is all set I’ll be able to beat him. But it was a great battle.
Global Mission Progress:

Hmmmmmmmm I don’t care but technically if we (and I refer to the the overzealous hardcore Pokemon players) do it in the next 11 days we all get 200k festival coins
No, we get up to 2000 FC each
Even still, that’s a lot of coins lol
Yeah, you’ll level up your plaza a lot.
Fail
