Empoleon has just been announced as a playable character for Pokkén Tournament! The Water/Steel-type will be available in the arcade version beginning on December 15th. Its existence was first hinted at in datamining leaks during summer, but it will finally make its official debut now six months later.
Still no word if the extra characters, including Darkrai and others, will ever make it to the Wii U console version. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for some official word!
What have I been rodeoing around for… it’s such a waste of time. Morimoto… I’m coming for your oval charm!
Oh, and Seraph, the Mareanie is ready.
Awesome, FC?

Yay, my image :3
Really?
I posted it earlier I mean XD
Ouch…and not one was a female just to put salt on the wounds
Habanero on the wound in this situation
Yeah that definitely sounds worse than salt
I misclicked and I was afraid the trade was gonna fail and I’ll be banned for 90 hours… 😉
Oh god XD
Well it went through so thanks a lot!
Yw! And I got you your berry!
Extra points for that, thanks!
YW!
What’s up with these bans? I keep hearing about these bans but I don’t have a clue about what’s going on
If you get a disconnect or power off while link trading or GTS trading, you will be banned from trading for a while. I heard the starting time is 90 hours.
I’m glad they’re doing more to prevent dickish moves like this does the same thing follow for online battles?
Yep. Rage quitters in battles also get banned.
I’m not sure, but wonder trade doesn’t seem to have the warning message so it doesn’t seem to be included.
I did it and it was only for like a few hours. I don’t know the exact amount but I went back a few hours later and was able to trade
I heard marshadow’s cry…. its even cuter than I imagined!
Every second I fall in love with this pokemon more and more
Not to mention that it is a mythical Pokemon.
And it’s super cuuuute
I know I’ve asked this before, but without spoilers, do we ever find out why the ultra beasts resemble certain people (Lillie, Lusamine, etc)
Again yes, and I can totally spoil the reason if you want. 🙂
It’s not directly stated like: “Lillie: I look like UB-01 because…”
It’s kinda subtle so the clues are missable.
The one with lillie is alluded too but if I say it it might count as a spoiler depending on how well you can connect the dots.
apparently Nihilego is a shapeshifter so it took on Lillie’s appearance to please Lusamine. I could be wrong though
I thought Nihilego resembled lillie because Lusamine modeled lillie after it because it was the only thing she really “loved” so she try to mold lillie in its image.
Not really. Lusamine was telling her children and possibly Guzma to dress and have hairdos the way she wants. Since she was obsessed with UB, all of them including Lusamine herself were changed to resemble the UB’s rather than the UB’s coincidentally resembling the characters.
NOOT NOOT
I am sick to death of searching for mimikyu… and this Is just for the pokedex, I don’t even like mimikyu…
Want me to trade you one it would be good to Figure out how online trade works this time around
omg yes.
step 1: trade friend codes. 0963-1734-7194
step 2: enter festival plaza, and, when there, hit the wifi signal at the bottom right hand corner to connect to the internet.
step 3: initiate a trade with a person in your plaza named “Edea”
Ok my Fc is 0087-2682-3542
Connecting
found you! anything in particular you’d like? I can see if I have it.
Nothing really
Disregard that ^ started typing and lost my train of thought
Dang I’m in a trade with the wrong person I think
ok, exit back out, I will initiate the trade
Ok
thanks a lot, I very much appreciate it. ive been searching for a couple hours now lol.
It took me forever to find it lol I feel your pain
-_-; I just found one on my way out the abandoned store lol
Well dats life sometimes lol
I beat it up for being such a pain.
How did you find me? I look for you but didn’t see you do friend code players stand in a certain spot?
when you click on trade, it gives you 3 options: Link trade, GTS, and Wonder trade. when you click on link trade, it brings up a list of everyone currently in the plaza, and marks which of those people are on your friend list.
Ok I was going around running up to everyone but thanks this was a good experience ☺
yeah it was kinda confusing for me too at first. I’m sure you got the hang of it now. anyways, thanks again. I’m gunna call it a night now, its like 5am where I am lol
Same here is just woke up well have a good sleep lol
Its in the abandoned supermarket on Ula’Ula?
yepp, but its a pretty rare encounter.
5% is rare yeah. It was my 3rd encounter after I went back in so I guess I was just lucky lol
Have you tried the trick where you can listen for its cry then encounter it?
I hope they give out shiny Tapus as an event at some point.
And UBs
Pheromosa looks awesome in black
Oh my frack…..
The ending of today’s new episode…..
What happened?
You’d rather not know. Heh heh heh.
Uh oh
Let’s just say Team Rocket now has a stalker and bailout….
That Bewear…
that spoiler
Oh yeah I saw it, it’s Bewear.
Just saw the 5th episode of Sun & Moon, did not look any better…
Can you put the link?
It’s actually a very good anime.
Well, the anime before Gen 7 looked much better. The facial expressions freak me out somewhat.
I mean they kept Ash’s sanity, personality and voice regularly but the art is just bad. Everything except character art. POKEMON look wonderful!
Watch the sixth episode next week. That’ll change your mind
This is how I felt before trading away my 6IV Ditto

I am sorry Earthen
These days it costs 500
Our lives? 🙂
Yep. Damn inflation
No video?
Do multiplayer/online battle royals give us BP?
I was hoping for a Gen 7 Pokemon or Gen 6 like Diancie :/
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f35993d75e743055bb26957a37904888c67ed44699154f1b6f75da7e3ea5e728.jpg
God I miss Gen 1-6. The animation and art were far more superior.
anime wise, i agree
Yessssss! Thank you!
When do you get to see Tapu Koko. I’m on Akala and never saw it, did I miss it?
Both the beginning of the story, and the end of the main story to catch it.
But I didn’t see it at all, is that correct?
Yes. You encounter Tapu Koko after meeting Lillie for the first time, and after beating the Elite Four and Professor Kukui, you will automatically visit the Shrine to capture it.
Okay so I did encounter it when I rescued Cosmog in the very beginning but that was it. So I’m not missing something or anything where you meet it again before leaving the island.
BTW you can run away from it if you’re stuck with your anti-Elite 4 team and don’t have synchro, then you can check it out after the credits so you can catch it at your convenience.
Tapu Koko is caught in postgame along with the other Tapu, their pains in the ass to catch tho
I think I’m goona give the anime a try 😛
Do it! Depending on what season you watch it can be awesome! The first two seasons I’m not sure about as it’s been a while since I’ve seen any of the Indigo or Johto league, but Hoenn and Sinnoh are pretty great. Sinnoh being the better of the two in my opinion. lol XYZ is awesome too!! Maybe even better than Sinnoh as far as story goes. Also from what I’ve seen of it SuMo has been pretty good too. Really the only season you have to avoid like the plague is BW While part 2 of BW isn’t terrible the entire ordeal is pretty unnerving……lol
That ain’t true, BW was actually rather good.
I don’t think it really did N and Team Plasma justice, tbh.
I didn’t really like N though. And I did find Team Plasma a little too much. But overall, the BW anime was great. The Delcolre Islands were the best way to wrap up the show. Thank god that Ash was already revealed to have a girfriend in XY (you know who)!
What I liked about B/W anime is that they gave Team Rocket a proper role instead of chasing Pikachu, well for a while anyway
The problem was that it took the fun out of em for a while, though. Thank god that Giovanni got hit with a supercharged Electro Ball, although I was kind of hoping that he would be blasting off from that.
It did give them a reason to chase Pikachu again, Jessie stating it was special, instead of just randomly chasing a random Pikachu
Nooooooooo
It’s perfect for me.
I find the Sun & Moon anime to be muddy and a bit bland. The BW series made the Pokemon rather fierce, just the way I like it.
They were all really childish and goofy to me honestly
Sadly, but wisely, I will have to disagree, goofy is what would describe the BW anime.
I mean the Sun & Moon anime.
BW anime kinda bland to me.
The music alone made it fresh and the art work made it the exact opposite of bland.
the sun and moon anime is only 5 episodes in tho, it can still do justice give it time
Well, “muddy” seems to be a weird way to describe a tv show…
I meant Pokemon battles.
The animation isn’t the greatest,but I think it’s funny.Especially Samson Oak,he’s hilarious,and what makes it even better to me is that he has the same Seiyuu as Old Joseph from Stardust Crusaders.
Wait, the person voicing Samuel Oak isn’t the same person voicing Samson Oak?
No need to get specific, we ain’t making you make an essay boi
I just tend to ramble a lot.But still,I just wanted to share my thoughts on it.
Well guys, we’re about 1/100th of the way there for the global mission! xD
Easy.
We’ll totally reach it in 11 days
short question: I’ve only caught like 2 pokemon since the beginning of the mission, and I’ll get a reward of 200 FC – does the number of FC increase, if you catch more pokemon? Or will I get the complete reward of 2000 FC, when the mission is completed?
I kinda took it as if we fail, you can get up to 200 FC, but I don’t know if catching just 1 pokemon will automatically guarantee 200. We all only get 2000 if we meet the 100,000,000 compound total.
Do you think Ash is gonna do the Trials and Challenge the Alola league at some point in the anime?
I mean, they can’t do this School thing for the entire time can they?
I’m guessing he’ll have to leave at some point… after all in the game, we passed through a school then went on our merry way…
That’s sorta what I’m thinking, though it’s interesting to see that Lillie doesn’t have Nebby, and even can’t touch Pokemon for that matter, I’m interested in seeing where thats going, and how they’re gonna handle Ultra Beasts, and finally, Necrozma, it can’t all be in School that would be a bit boring after about 10 episodes
At least you are realizing part of the reason why the Sun & Moon anime will disappoint me.
I want Team Skull to show up more.
Since they’re gonna be wacky unlike BW’s Plasma, they hopefully need not be stuck as the focus of the later part of a season only when things get serious…
Unless, they’re gonna be forgetting Skull even exists since Rocket is around…
Well Lillie is going to get a Alolan Vulpix but I really freaking hope the main cast gets new Pokemon
Because what truly pissed me off is they barely let Clemont of Serena have any new new Pokemon (I was so annoyed that she didn’t get an Absol)
I always believed that Serena would be the perfect girl for Ash. In case you missed the episode with the Rhyhorn race, Ash’s kindness and encouraging spirit won Serena’s heart back at that summer camp when they were little.
She’s the worst female companion ever
Bland boring girly girl who only stuck around because she wanted Ash’s butt
Good riddance
I could write an entire essay about how you are wrong, but there’s no point since you most likely didn’t even watch it.
I watched every episode of the XY series
And Serena was boring
Even after the haircut? And subbed?
Well everyone has their own tastes I guess..
He already said he would in the second episode
I’ll be honest, I’ve only watched it without Subs or Dub, so I have no clue what they’ve been saying
Its the one of the reasons he wanted to stay. Kukui and Kiawe tell him about the island challenge, he gets all excited and decides to stay in Alola (
I thought I was the only one 😮
I’d be willing to bet that after a certain amount of episodes of them doing the school thing the Trial captains part ways to go to their trial grounds and Ash decides to then take full part in the challenge. He’s already stated that he wants to officially become worthy of using Z Crystals so in order to do that he’ll need to take the trials at some point. I can’t see them keeping him at the school forever.
Lillie will come? :3
One thing I don’t like about SuMo: it’s clubbed over our heads that Olivia is single
Well Kukui’s marriage is even more clubbed than that… and to certain groups of people, more painful… :p
The whole point of marriage is to be an obvious declaration of love tho
You mean Kukuis Fangirls?
COUGH Fanboys
Alola
And the player is too young o fix that
Am I the only one who finds Olivia an unattractive woman and Kukui just an average guy or maybe less?
I don’t find anyone attractive, but I do like kukui as a character.
You find only the Ultron attractive
That’s fair.
Yes, sans asexuals and blind people
What do you mean by sans asexuals? didn’t get you
Only asexual and blind people find olivia and kukui unattractive. I mean, I can vouch for that.
No, its just that I prefer fair white skin on women and as for Kukui he’s just a dude who wears a coat with nothing under.
I’m straight but I don’t see oliivia as attractive
I get Kukui though
His body is ready 😉
Me too Lillie though is perfect for me perfect amount of Cute and Beauty
I’m also prone to White skinned women nothing personal just I like them more
I like Kukui cos he was a great character. Don’t really think he’s all that in terms of design, but he was cool throughout the main story.
How to Kukui
Woo!
Yeah!
Woo!
Yeah!
Move puns
Better than
‘Oak’s words echoed, there’s a time a time and place for everything’
Granted he did say ‘yeah’ a few times too often
And woo, don’t forget woo
It just cracked me up in the beginning when Lillie goes to your house and repeats what Kukui said and even says the woo part
GET OUT OF MY HEAD OLD MAN
I read that as “How to woo Kukui”
Well that’s burnets job
I agree 100% he’s a great personality and in the anime he’s even better. His appearance however is not special at all just a random guy.
Just.. his dub voice.. eww
I don’t understand why people are really picky about dub voices.
It’s not that bad a lot of the time… when some are really bad though I’ll notice
His voice just does not work
I’m not picky yet I kind of disliked Oak’s voice change around Sinnoh or Unova and James from the original…
Yet Lillie is perfect
I am with you their my brother actually said first time he saw Olivia “Hey Alex look at this Pokémon’s first prostitute”
I thought it was funny lol
I honestly think it’s to get responses out of certain players/content creators (Numbnexus for example)
@BigGuyI:disqus
Hey Earthen. I need some advice on ground types for a vgc team. I need something that can generally eat a hit well from a trickroom Torkel, which isn’t a small task given the limit of the Alola dex. Any suggestions? Initial thought was gastrodon given that its large hp stat and water typing would be able to eat those overheats/heatwave’s. Though I”d rather have the opinion of our own ground fanatic in pointing out a good mon for that situation.
Garchomp
I was thinking that too, Garchomp is just a powerful Ground type
Amazing speed
Ridiculous power
Can either be a wall or a all out sweeper (granted the sweeper role hasn’t been strong lately more of a early game Stealth rocker slash Rocky rough skin
I love Garchomp, but I feel like its speed will be its downfall here. I need something food in trickroom. Garchomps just too fast with not only Torkel being able to do some good damage to it, but 3/4 tapu’s outspeed it.
Well
Jolly
252 Attack 252 Speed 4 Sp Def
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Poison Jab/Iron Head
Crunch/Rock Slide/Swords Dance
This is pretty standard
And that’s a great set, and I’ve used it myself, but I need something that’s a good counter in trickroom. Something that has really low speed. Like I’m actually considering Palossand. 35 base speed will make it go second in almost all trickroom battles(torkel will always go first), torkel can only 2 shot it with solar beam, where it can oneshot it with earth power provided it has 124 or less ivs in S. defense, which isn’t impossible given the physical bias of competitive and wanting to take advantage of that 140 base defense on that beast. Combined with giga drain, sludge bomb for fairy’s and protect and it could be a decent set.
Dale is nice too
that’s option B, but I need more of a special attacker against a Torkel. As well Porygon/Orangru are threats, but a bit less since their both weak enough to be taken down easily.
Ah
Gigalith?
Not a bad choice, but with torkel’s base defense being 140, and it being a physical attack, and torkel having instant solar beams, it’s not an ideal fit.
Truuue. It’s been a headache dealing with the fact than minimum speed Torkoal is slower than minimum speed Gigalith so it gets weather control and is faster under Trick Room.
Never mega it.. ever
Using only Scolipede and Mega Garchomp, I was able to successfully sweep team in Ubers
?⚔️?? I killed everything in sight except Lugia which was really annoying
Hey, I manage to sweep an Ubers team with six watchog
You shut your face
Mega Garchomp has pulled my butt out plenty of jams with its monster attack and bulk
I guess you enjoy having it’s skin melt 😉 (ref, the rotom dex)
I’m just bandwagoning TBH
Honestly the speed drop isn’t a total cripple
That solid 170 freaking attack paired with Sand Force makes anything touching the ground dead
And it can take a couple of blows
Wait explain is the Torkoal yours or you’re trying to counter it?
enemy’s torkel. Trying to figure out a good counter for it given I’m messing around with an E-terrain team and it pretty much shuts down half my team.
Well given Torkoal’s new Drought Gastrodon is a very bad choice since it now has Insta Solarbeams
As Someguy stated Garchomp is pretty solid because I honestly doubt they’re carrying HP Ice, but if you wanted to stick in the Alola region maybe consider a Special or Mixed Minior
Hey, Mori.
You make-a me cry, Mori.
You disappeared on me, Mori.
I’ve been waitin’ for that miracle~!
If you’re still willing to help me out, message me in the forums.
im around now if you are.
You probably shouldn’t wait to tank it. Do you have a taunter or fake outer to delay trick room going up?
Does it really have to be a Ground-type? You can consider replacing the weather with Pelipper or Politoed or Gigalith. These also resist fire so they’re decent switch-ins. Plus, messing with the weather also weakens Solar Beam as well. Rain also synergizes with any Thunder you might want to run.
If there’s enough expected Torkoals in your event, I might even think of running Water Sport or Light Screen.
Still no trailer for Empoleon eh?
We’re still waiting for the others, so Empoleon won’t b 4 a while yet
Tru
Am I the only one who’s slightly creeped out by Magearna? Mainly cause of refresh..
Does anyone remember a guy here with the nickname Pharap? where is he?
I’ve thought about that a couple times recently. I liked his blunt analytical mind even if I disagreed with him on a lot of stuff.
I barely recognize everyone half the time…..whoever you are
Do you recognize me?
Ye
He said that he was unlikely to return after the release sadly. 🙁
Not sure hope we have not lost another friend
I have no idea. 🙁
Dunno where they went
I killed him and put him under my floorboards
You really should get a sulfuric acid guy
I did and now I can dispose any evidence with relative ease
He left the site the day before Sun and Moon were released. He said he didn’t saw the usage of staying around now that the games are out
A little disappointed that Trainers all have the same theme. (Like their encounter theme).
