Several leaks and announcements are pointing to Niantic gearing up for something huge in Pokémon GO!
Pictures, screenshots, and more have popped up from a confidential notice for Starbucks employees about a new sponsorship deal with the popular coffee shop beginning on December 8th. This sponsorship includes making most, but not all, Starbucks locations a Gym or Pokéstop in game and the introduction of a brand new Pokémon GO inspired Frappuccino! But what’s bigger than the appropriately Raspberry flavored blended drink is that the employee notice says “Pokémon GO is about to expand with new Pokémon” and a “new update.” This, alongside an official partnership with Sprint to make 10,500 locations Gyms or PokéStop adds to the hopefully growing list of sponsorships, and the possible introduction to Generation II Pokémon.
But if Gen II is just around the corner, what about the still omitted legendary Pokémon from Gen I? What do you think, will this holiday season mark us being able to catch Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile and the rest of Generation II in GO? Whatever the case, the update on Dec. 12th will definitely shed some light on the matter.
Next feature GF needs to fucking remove: pokeball shaking three times and it popping out. JUST MAKE IT TWO.
I freaking hate that.You just feel it in your soul,bro.
A little part of me dies and there’s only so much humanity I have left within this near-hollow husk I call a body.
Also they need to stop having characters say the word “yeah” at the end of every sentence….It’s annoying when Kukui says it and it’s annoying when every other character says it now lol
Festival Plaza may be a step down from PSS, but one thing remains the same: finding a passerby to battle with you is a miserable process…
i could battle you in singles if you wanna
Sweet! What’s your FC? Mine is 3737-9521-9386. IGN Animated Guy

I’ll add you now!
i send you the request
Excellent, you two fight first while I get ready later when it’s lunch break at this job.
aaaaaaaaahhhhhh

One of my favorite in-game tracks. Reminds me a bit of “Love Like You” from SU.
So many SU fans here on PJN… 🙂
I used to be a fan, then I realized I didn’t care about the gem war and was only interested in Connie. 🙂
I can just give you a list of Connie episodes if ya want lol
Thanks, though I already have the list. 🙂
I’m ONLY a fan of the actual gem story. The filler episodes are super boring.
We’re the opposite then, but that’s fair, and it’s better to be interested in the main thing a show is about than random side plots… 🙂
It’s too bad barely ever get serious plot progression.
I think they are super cute and build the world super well. The gem story wouldnt be as good without the character growth from the slower episodes
True, character development is crucial, but the story is super good and leaves me wanting more, so it sucks to have to wait forever for major story events.
I guess its a better show to binge watch than to wait weekly for. Thats why the Summer of Steven was great to me
Same, that was worth the wait.
Problem is that you don’t feel like stuff is actually happening in the world of the story if you don’t have any down time. It’s a hard pill to swallow lol
I love it for the songs, as well as all the flashbacks with Greg. Greg and Peridot are my favorite characters 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgz8FFTNN-4
Such an underrated song. I covered this one on YouTube!
Greg’s VA may not be as good as Deedee Mango Hall or Estelle but he is still great and all of his songs are always underrated and awesome. If every porkchop were perfect….
We wouldn’t have hot dogs! Yes Deedee is fantastic. “It’s Over Isn’t It?” is one of the best songs I’ve heard all year.
Mr. Greg deserves an Emmy for real
also Lapis needs a song come on where is my favorite depressed farm lesbian’s song seriously
“Gal Pals”
Ooh,I love this song.It’s actually my favorite flashback song.
Still gotta finish Obsidian
I wish there was an easier way to catch up on those kinds of shows. I feel like there’s so many episodes that if I had just watched it in passing/when it aired I’d be fine with watching, but when I try to sit down and watch a bunch in a row I just want to get to the interesting episodes where story is moved a long…….Quite the drag as I see the appeal of SU…lol
Why don’t you skip then? Like I did, I only watch episodes if Connie is in it… <3
But then I feel like I missed something. It’d be like if you skipped all the days in your life that nothing “important” happened. Sure you could still get the gist of what’s happening, but something would be missing lol
I have a different stance on that. I’d compare it to an “any % speedrun”, just go to the end as fast as possible…
Eh I just don’t feel right doing that, but to each his/her own I guess lol
Yeah. Too bad I didn’t like the gem war… but other people dislike the slice of life episodes. 🙂
Slice of life eps can be fine, but the characters need to do something the viewer can get into. It’s hard to cherry pick when you don’t know whats happening around the characters lol
I realized early I didn’t enjoy the gem war, but I toughed it up to Jailbreak… 🙂
It has that jazzy feel for sure.
Side note: Love Like You is my favorite song ever honestly
Such a good song. Too bad there’s never been an official full version released. Like, complete with all the instrumental bits and ending. I know some fans have made decent splices on YT but still.
I relate to it so much too. Its just so gooood
Oh and Here Comes a Thought
seriously that song does so much to calm me down when I’m stressed or just not okay in general
Plus,it was animated by Studio Trigger,and they worked on Kill La Kill
It shows because the fight scene with Stevonnie and Holo-Pearl was incredible
……GOD DAMN IT THAT SONG ALWAYS FUCKING BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES
Favorite night track for sure.
So apparently “new Pokémon” have been announced for the 12th. Whether this is gen 2 or The Legendary Pokemon of gen 1, I don’t know.
Gen 2 is the only way they can spark a tiny bit of hype so probably that
Yeah that’s what I’m hoping for. I need Mantine and Ledyba
ITS THE RARE POKEMON OF GEN 2 NO ONE KNEW ABOUT XD
THE LEAKS!
GUYS SEADRA EVOLVES OMG
Finally, I have stockpiled candies just for this moment…
Slowpoke would have been MUCH more appropriate. Missed oppurtunity.
That’s what half of the Pokémon GO players will be like
Lol. My friend who has never played an actual Pokémon games before is like this religious GO player. It really gets on my nerves sometimes when he tries to use terms like IV and EV while playing it.
You should blow his mind with your perfect IV competitive mons
So on Fridays, I take my DS to school and I was showing him what an IV actually is by reking some 6th graders. He uses the terms tho.
*my
IVs exist in GO, not EVs though…
Yeah. But he uses them wrong and acts like he knows what he’s talking about
Oh god
Ikr. The Pokémon GO craze has died down for most non-fan, I’m just waiting on him.
Oh and also, his bio on like Skype and stuff is “Pokémon GO dex, 126/141” and then I go like, “Dude name one gen 2 Pokémon that’s not a starter or Lugia”
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aea784cc174b7c610a2a9f529c839719725c43d14f62168c50b08599392ef477.gif
you and him
Yeah. basically sums it up XD
I really misinterpreted that, and thought you meant the January 12th NX event, and got super hyped.
Then I realized it was just a bag of trash lol.
Let us welcome our new Tyranitar overlords…
so does anybody follow Death Battle?
I do.I’m excited about Deadpool Vs Pinkie Pie.
omg yes
i want to see if they actually make her win, just to watch the shit storm
You know she will
well she’s zany, extremely skilled in breaking the forth wall, possesses a degree of super speed, a party cannon, and has mild above average strength. she might be able to “out-weird” Deadpool’s skill and insanity and trap him in a corner
I doubt it, you need to kiss your fanbase’s ass in order to make sure you don’t lose them
what?
boi, they made goku lose they dont care
its Superman
its pitting something that is virtually limitless with something with limits
i was team superman
me too, but god what a great episode
I mean its just legendary
Yeah,but which fanbase will they go for?That’s the question.
well lets anaylis
in Starscream V rainbow Dash: it boiled down to competence versus incompetence where Starscream is literally the worst Decepticon ever
Deadpool v Deathstroke, Deadpool won (via cheating) by using the Carbonadium Sword to nullify Deathstroke’s Healing factor
BUT in the One Minute Melee rematch Deathstroke won by hacking DP to pieces
so i gotta say 60-40
Hey,that’s what Deadpool does best after all.He breaks all the rules and makes it hilarious.
Does anyone play Animal Crossing: Wild World on the Wii U virtual console? The idea of playing an older Animal Crossing, rather than the most recent, always seemed like such an odd idea. Plus to play a handheld release on the Wii U? It’s hard explain my thoughts on how surreal of an experience that sounds like. Like you’d be living in a hidden town everyone forgot existed.
i want Animal Crossing VR
lol… Yea I’d be pretty down for that
I want Pokemon Crossing
not ever a thing, just play Tomadachi Life and make all the Miis Pokemon trainers
BOOM
Another day, another dissapointment. I’m out for the night, bye!
Pikipek count: ~1500
Aw, hopefully you’ll have better luck later/tomorrow…
Eartheeeennnnn I really like Paper Mario so far. I’m still early into it and I’m progressing slowly but its super neat
Paper Mario defined a large portion of my childhood
it is my life
Super Paper Mario was the best imo. The Williams, the sort line, the overall concept was just really good
Eh I think it’s better than Stick Star (haven’t played the Wii U one yet) but for me it’s:
64 > TTYD > Super > SS
Girlfriend dish were you at….you’re a girl right?
yes I am a human being of the female variety 😛
I just got to the Koopa Village. I got set back a tiny bit because I died on the way back to the village and didnt save until before I met the blue koopa
KOOPER IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE
Kooper is by far one of the most powerful members to use because of his ability to damage everybody
also might i ask what are you investing level ups into, since i’m a hyper legend veteran i invest in BP and FB so i can crush everything
Well idk if I’m doing somethng wrong because I’ve only leveled up once. I invested into the third one? I cant remember exactly what it was called
lol I need to pay more attention to this game 😛
every detail
i don’t want to brag but i think i know where everything and how to get it
minus some Badges and Star Pieces
speaking of which collect as many Star pieces as possible because at Shooting Star Summit’s base you can trade them to Merlow for badges and the two ones to really aim for is called Peekaboo for 10 which allows you to see the enemies health meter at all times and the best one for a whopping 25 Power Plus which increases Mario’s damage by one
I must part. Good night.
Goodbye my friend!
GG Carbinkle! Sorry for the Porygon sweep xD
is okay, my team is not competitive so terrible ivs lol
I was gonna say, I can’t believe I survived that Liquidation!
yep! my mons cannot hit hard but surprisily they can survive hits
Oh wait. One more question before I go.
Is shiny Minior the black core with colorffil triangles?
yas
When I saw it on a video I was like “Oh shit! This is way better than Green Minior core! I should get this one!” Then I realized it might be a shiny. Thabjs for clarifying
*Thanks
Pardon my many typing mistakes in comments below.
Between my fat thumb, autocorrect and the way I’m sitting, my typing is not very accurate.
yeah must be hard to type with one hand and your wiener in the other
we’ve all been there
“The way I’m sitting”
Please end my life
I’ll have you know, I’m lying down and one hand is behind my head preventing it from hitting the wall
“Head” Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhhuh
No please
then stop making it so easy
Okay. Everyway I put it, it can be ruined.
“Behind my neck”
“Behind my hair”
“Behind my head”
“Sandwiched between my head and the wall”
Jeez keep it to yourself
I’m not doing anything with my weiner!
you’re doing EVERYTHING to your wiener
How about anyONE?
Oh Star, you know that’s not possible. I don’t have a life 😀
lol same
You got a hell of a lot of kinks
i know, i’m a little jealous

Magearna – Curly Brace (i love you if you know where this is from)
Salazzle – Sulphia/Sedfeur
Tsareena – Matri (Like Matriarch)
Decidueye: Willow
Salazzle: Fatale
oh and of course…
http://68.media.tumblr.com/47209cb8ce77cb5aca57e125fe07e132/tumblr_ogomhrwoSj1stwwcpo1_1280.jpg
Nebby <3
That’s some good fan art
Lillie has the best fan art of any Pokemon character seriously
It’s true. She is undoubtedly my favorite NPC
Decidueye- Ghowl
Crabrawler – Little Mac
Alolan Dugtrio – MoeLaryCurly
Stufful – Stuffykins
Ribombee – Stupid fairy
Mudbray – Applejack (technically it was a wondertrade but couldn’t let it go)
Or maybe for Shiny Crabrawler-Glass Joe
Kommo-O: Tip the Scale
Vikavolt: Vic/Vicky (depends on Gender)
Muk: Glowstik Goo
Tapu Koko: IILWTK (Short for: “I’m in love with the Koko”)

-__- i hate you…..
:3
How bout for Incineroar
John Cenya
Yeah that’s probably better lol
XD
Saw an Incineroar on YouTube named “Ric Flare”
Ooh ooh! I know where curly brace is from! (maybe)
…
http://orig11.deviantart.net/5fa2/f/2009/105/e/9/cave_story___balrog_icon_by_doctor_cool.png
huzzah?
“Oh yeah!”
She’s from Cave Story right?
Yep! One of my favorite games ever
So I’ve heard
like
1. Earthbound
2. Undertale
3. Cave Story
4. Pokemon
5. Zelda Wind Waker/To The Moon/Life is Strange
But you’re right. Magearna dies remind me of Curly Brace
I named my Furfrou in Y version Mimiga 😛
Magearna dies?
If you dont get the tow rope and take the jet pack she sure does
Wait what
In Cave Story, you can only get the best ending (also the hardest level in any game I’ve ever played) if you pick up a tow rope item that’s just placed in this random little spot where you would never look and by ignoring a character who falls down a pit and seemsto die before giving you a jetpack. If you ignore him, he later meets uo with you recovered and gives you a better version that o required to get the best ending
Does
So you also know where Malco is from!
Porygon-Z – Cydia (anyone who’s ever hacked an iOS device will know)
Minior – Wonder Ball
Kartana – Kraftwerk
Pyukumuku – Loofah
lol Cydia is great
I’m thinking of breeding a competitive, Scrappy Miltank and giving it the dumbest nickname possible: “Cow-a-bunga!”
Wonder Ball is great!
That’s what I thought of whenever I found them.
Azula for Salazzle 😀
Nymeria for Lycanroc midday
Probs about it
AZULA YAY
Nihilego – White Russian (its name is like nihilist. A famous movie quote from The Big Lebowski is “We are nihilists Lebowski, we believe in nothing.” They drink white russians [a type of mixed drink] in that movie. Also Nihilego is white. BAM)
Araquanid – Metroid
Mimikyu – Masquerade
Golisopod – Hydralisk
Oranguru – Coach
Araquanid is Bubble Buddy
That is a great nickname for Araquanid, though Sudowoodo actually looks more like “the” Bubble Buddy…
True true
Mimikyu – PurgePikachu
Incineroar – Riot
Minior – Yvaine
Marowak – Undertaker
Tsareena – Glamazon
Oranguru – Dr. Zaius
Salandit – Durag
Rattata – Snidely
Primarina – Zoolander (male)
Primarina – Andre (thinking of the movie and Andre Bocelli)
I had a wrestler theme for some of them
Ok. I’m leaving for real this time. I don’t want to talk about the position in which I’m lying down anymore.
Night breh!
Remember
Position is key! Nothing Over seventy, but stick to the sixties
I’m gonna sit in the corner and rethink my life choices
Don’t go there unless you got an escape route!
My room is small. I think I can find my way out.
The room will only get smaller the longer you’re in there
Ok. I’m done. Good night.
*Gets lost*
I saw those team skull guys so I tried to stay away from them and got lost
YOU FOUND MY BRETHREN!
oh yeah i GOTS to make this
As i may stated i need a Incineroar to be nicknamed Strong Bad

You mean PU trash?
shut up and watch the video
You could say its..
PUtrid!
Ohhh! Blast BURNNN!
You mean
PUrely PUtrid
Its
Niche
Consists of being of absolutely no
Importance and is
Not needed whatsoever and
Even a majority of its own fanbase
Realizes that it is a complete shit mon
Of the lowest quality
And realizes now that boxing this
Rancid-ass cat is the only logical decision if you picked it
Virus was one of the best sbemails of all time.
Has anyone got a Gen 7 Pokemon that’s really starting to grow on them? Because Araquanid and Alolan Sandslash are becoming one of my favorite Pokemon.
Magearna. I adore it
It’s got some pretty great stats, and the best defensive typing in the game. Also, it was a clever approach to it possessing the ability to turn into a Poke Ball.
My only disappointment with it is that there is no special pokeball you get it in that is just the Magearna itself
Bewear is growing on me a lot. It looks like a Beanie Baby.
Alolan Raichu grew on me a lot when Hau used it against me. Palossand a tiny bit.
I remember back on when I first got to Ula Ula Island, his Raichu wrecked half of my team. Also, his Raichu took care of most of the work in the 2nd Faba battle too. The thing’s a beast at speed and special attack…
I know, right?? I can get over the stupid origin for it
True, the raw speed and power makes up for that so much…
I completely destroyed his team at that point and I was left disappointed 🙁
I didn’t have a ground type and when I switched into ribombee it one-shotted it with psychic 🙁
Really? That Raichu was so strong.
ARAQUANIIIID
I bred a perfect IV competitive araquanid for my singles dual weather team. I don’t have a choice band for him yet though, but I grinding up the BP to get one!
well i’m gonna go to bed
but before i do, i need a Fanta
Shoulda hadda V8
gross,
Do they even make V8 anymore? They really are quite disgusting.
i think they do, i rather ruin my kidneys with flavor then drink that schlop
this man gets it. this man right here.
Apparently both Reggie and Miyamoto are gonna be on the Tonight Show on NBC tonight. Might tune in, but at the same time I’m kind of tired…..idk….lol
It’ll be up on YouTube later anyway. But I do love Jimmy Fallon.
I used to watch Fallon all the time, but as things went on I watched less and less due to wanting to go to bed. I guess I’m just getting old lol Anyway I like watching his beginning stuff the most. Find that way more entertaining than the interviews unless the person he has on is SUPER interesting to me lol
I’m so against watching television at specific air times that I literally don’t even know what channel anything is anymore. If I can’t watch it online somewhere it just doesn’t get watched.
That seems a bit ridiculous hahaha
Yessssssss
Mimikyu for the love of Arceus… If you don’t appear as a shiny. I will hunt you down with curse-proof stuff and de-pikachu you in front of a crowd. I’m well over 500 eggs at this point. Sigh.
Uhhhhh that might cause mass murder…
DO IT 😀
Good. Let the people of Alola fear my all-consuming ire.
500 eggs? I have a shiny charm and used the masuda method and hatched about 1500 beldum, 12 perfect IV beldum, and 30 5IV beldum sitting in my box, not counting the hundreds of 5IV beldum I traded or just released because I didn’t feel like storing them. no shiny…
Dude, I had to hatch nearly 2700 eggs to get my shiny.
I’m confused. In Pokémon s and m . We can’t trade via friend codes anymore? Is the online thing not the same and x and y??
Yes we can. Add your friend codes on the 3DS as usual. Then go to festival plaza, click the “wifi” icon to go online, then click Trade -> Link Trade.
Thanks
Amazing how I can do so well in single 6v6 battles and then suck so hard at VGC 3v3.
Also interesting how, once I got below 1500 on the ladder, I started seeing fun, interesting teams.
Below, because above it is serious mode, I’m guessing?
But why must serious = the same basic 15-20 sets? Even so, though, I can usually take on those big threats with obscure Pokémon if I’m playing 6v6. I guess, in 3v3, every one of your Pokémon has to be an OP Beast.
3v3 also lends itself well to gimmicks since there’s a 50% chance the opponent won’t have their counter…
6v6 feels more like a team game.
Totally agree with this ^
Because those fun, interesting teams don’t win consistently. I think it’s weird how only in deck/team building games to people complain about and shame others for trying to win. The point in the competitive sport is to win. Many people find it fun to try and find the most consistently winning team and figuring out how to play that team well. Others want to win but they want to be handed the win for being “creative” (aka using their favorites)
AAAHHH GUYS WE HAVE A SITUATION CODE 1510 NINTENDO SWITCH AT 4:30
https://youtu.be/7TJ7IUNWGl4
LOOK AT THAT FRAME RATE ITS GOOD… HOW DID THEY DO THIS HOW DID THEY FIT 60 FPS INTO THAT TINY THING
GameXplain is gonna be ALLL over this.
It looks amazing
13 HOUR ANALYSIS
This is the kind of demo I like. Not them canned ubisoft or EA conference demos.
You can see the guy playing the thing and actually moving them sticks around and making things happen…
Jimmy might be the real thing. He’s shaking during his playthrough of BOTW…
Oh he’s the real deal. Every time I watch his show it seems Nintendo or video games in general get brought up at some point. A couple years back I remember his having Michael Cera on and they went back and forth about the rounds of Mario Kart 8 they played together before the show.
This is why I love Jimmy Fallon. He legitimately gets so excited over Nintendo stuff. This was such fantastic advertising for Nintendo!
looks really good!
Yoooooooooooo!
Jimmy Fallon, you bloody legend.
This is basically a screencap of the pre-release video of the various Pokeball explosion effects. (Saving this for later so I can check it out at home )

Traded Pink Gumshoos for Celesteela, worth.
But couldn’t you just have traded a spare UB for it?
Because UBs are more valuable than non-competitive shinies
Oh OK.
