  1. I’ve been looking through the Melemele Dex and I saw Zubat as my next target to catch but I just realized something. Compared to the other games, I’ve barely seen Zubat at all. Like probably 2 or 5 times. It’s ironic when you think about it, the Pokemon world’s most annoying thing to run into in RB is practically unheard of in SM.

  2. Group question: If you could design your own post-game storyline, what would it be?
    Here’s mine:

    Gen – 7
    Ft. Characters:
    – Cynthia
    – You
    – Furrlicia (new Gen 4 character)

    Idea:
    – Cynthia arrives to your house and asks for your help. After leaving the house, Cynthia asks for a quick battle. She’ll use the following Pokemon:
    *Lvl. 60 – Tsareena
    *Lvl 62 – Spiritomb
    *Lvl. 61 – Shiny Glaceon
    *Lvl 65 – Garchomp
    After battle, Cynthia will ask you to meet her at the Grand Resort Hotel. There, you’ll see her with a brand new character from Gen 4; Furrlicia! She’ll be a Cat-Pokemon expert with the following:
    *Lvl 61 – Female Meowstic
    *Lvl 63 – Delcatty
    *Lvl 60 – Liepard
    *Lvl 62 – Female Pyroar
    *Lvl 61 – Purrugly
    *Lvl 65 – Espeon
    After that battle, you’ll get a ‘Cutie Badge’ which would be from the Gen 4 remake exclusive gym, the Felinacia City Gym. Afterwards, Cynthia will explain that another mysterious UB, U.B 09 – Catnip, has appeared, which she got the memo from Looker to get to you. Afterwards, you need to get the Skitty Charm and head to the top of Mount Lankila. There, you use it and first 3 Pokemon that appear;
    – “Totem” Persian – lvl 60
    – “Totam” Male Pyroar – lvl 62
    – “Totem” Mew – lvl 66
    Afterwards it appears U.B 09 is only 1’09, and has the shape of a cat. It is Poison-Fairy.
    Upon catching it, Cynthia will challenge a 1-1 battle with this new UB, and after victory, Cynthia will give you the Sinnoh Ribbon for it.

    • I would be adding onto the post-game of SM:
      After you beat all of the Title Defense battles, you wake up at you house with your Mom saying Hala wants to meet you at Iki Town. Once you’ve gone up their, Hala and Hau are present, with Hala stating he’ll give you and Hau two tickets to take a boat to Kanto.
      After you get to Kanto, Hau states he’ll go find his father and so for the most of the region he tags along with you as you beat all the Gym Leaders. After the 5th badge, Lillie would be outside of the gym with a tearful reunion. As you go to the Pokemon League, you find it is now the World Pokemon League, with all Champions, a lot of previous gen rivals, and also Hau’s father who’s become slightly egotistical. The league is stylized as a tournament, so it is essentially a bigger Elite Four. When you reach the finals, you battle Hau’s dad, which after he loses, he becomes angry and frustrated at his lost, yet changes his mind when Hau cheers him up and starts to recognize his son. With this, you are the Pokemon World Champion, as the crowds cheers for you. You, Hau, Hau’s father, and Lillie return to Iki Town in Alola, which is meet with a celebration of you becoming World Champion. During this, Lillie challenges you to a battle, to show how strong she’s become.

    • Here’s my story:
      After you beat the UB quest, Anabel says “hey, there’s a battle frontier in Alola”. Then you go to said battle frontier, and it’s fun.

    • So you wake up and go to the battle buffet with Hau. There, you meet, beat, and eat with Maylene.

      All Lv. 63
      Machamp/Passimian/Medicham/Pangoro/Mega Lucario
      She introduces herself as a Gym Leader of Sinnoh, and that she and the Gym Leaders present in Sinnoh’s ‘Year of Triumph’ (the year the herons topped Cyrus) are on holiday in Alola: but they’re all missing. You have to hunt them down and they’ll give you a new TM. Maylene gives you TM 101: Drain Punch.

      1) Roark and Byron

      The two are in Olivia’s shop, taking interest in the minerals. Roark and Olivia flirt a bit before Byron embarrasses his son. You come in, Roark wants to unleash his frustrations and Byron wants to join in. Olivia forces you all outside.

      All Lv. 63 (Roark) or 65 (Byron)
      Gigalith/Rampardos/Mega Tyranitar
      Magnezone/Bastiodon/Mega Aggron

      They make up, Roark gives Olivia his number, and they leave to meet Maylene.

      2) Gardenia

      Gardenia is with Acerola in the Aether House, who is trying to get Gardenia used to Ghost-Types by showing her her Dhelmise. Gardenia already has gotten a Trevanant from her, and she battles you on Acerola’s request in order to bond with you.

      All Lv. 64
      Trevenant/Torterra/Cherrim/Roserade/Mega Venusaur

      She is still freaked out by Trevanant, but is starting to warm up to it. She and Acerola thank you as Gardenia leaves. Nanu stops by, and asks the player if they wants to join the Trial Captains and Kahunas as well as the Sinnoh GLs-they’re comparing trials with Gyms, and it will be at the battle buffet as soon as all the Sinnoh Gym Leaders return.

      3) Fantina

      This fabulous woman is in Poni Meadow, dancing with an Oricorio. She has been entranced by these beautiful Pokémon, and she asks one to join her team. It happily complies. She then sees you coming and challenges you to a battle to test her new ally.

      All Lv. 65
      Oricorio/Dusknoir/Drifblim/Mismagius/Mega Gengar

      Once you beat her, she thanks you for the battle and reveals she knows you’re the Champion of Alola-and she looks forward to dining with you later,she then leaves.

      4) Crasher Wake

      He’s in the Seafolk Village, trying to wrestle with Hapu’s grandmother’s Machamp. He’s winning, and is being cheered on. He sees you coming as he defeats Machamp, and having already bested Hapu (who requests you defeat him), he challenges you on sight.

      All Lv. 66
      Wishiwashi/Gastrodon/Poliwrath/Floatzel/Mega Gyarados

      After you win, he states how hungry he is and that he better return to the battle buffet so the meal can happen faster. When he leaves, Hapu comments how he was right outside a restaurant the whole time, before leaving for the dinner herself. She offers to take you to Melemele with her.

      5) You’re back in the Battle Buffet, where Hala announces they’re going to have a festival celebrating the cultures of both regions after the buffet. Everyone is excited, but Candice, Volkner, Flint, Lucian and Aaron are all gone. It is revealed Cynthia and the E4 showed up, and if you’ve beaten Cynthia in the tree, she promises you a battle because she knows how strong you are. Otherwise she’ll just day she wants to fight the Champion of Alola.

      6) Candice is on Mount Lanakila, getting herself an Icium. She notes how she doesn’t have a Z-Ring and gets frustrated with herself, and asks you to battle to help her chill out.

      All Lv. 67
      Vanilluxe/Glaceon/Weavile/Froslass/Mega Abomasnow

      She leaves and says she’ll partake in the island challenge to get a Z-Ring.

      7) Volkner and Flint are chilling with Kiawe at his Trial Site. Flint just earned his Firium, and with Volkner’s Electrium, they challenge you to a battle to test Z-Moves.

      All Level 68 (Volkner) & 70 (Flint)

      Jolteon/Z-Electivire/Mega Manectric
      Flareon/Z-Magmortar/Mega Houndoom

      They bicker over who’s fault it is they lost, before making out leaving you with a thanks as they leave to go to the buffet. Kiawe is speechless, but offers you to come with him to the Buffet.

      Everyone’s now there, including the Sinnoh E4 and Kahili. You all eat then have a festival, including a wrestling match between Wake, Kukui and Hala, Fantina and Acerola dancing, etc

      You can now challenge the Sinnoh GLs (individually or in random pairs) on the blank lots throughout the game, as they all decided to stay in those cities/areas for now. Roark is staying with Olivia and is thus found in Konikoni.

      The Sinnoh E4 will battle you as title defense matches, but can each be found in certain places.

      Aaron-Lush Jungle, surprised Fomantis are not Bugs.

      Lucian-Maile Library, reading.

      Bertha-Trying to learn how to ride Mudsdale with Hapu.

      Flint-with Volkner, supporting him as you battle.

      Too lazy to list teams.

      The Alola E4 and title defense go up into the Level 70s

      Visit each of the Tapu ruins and interact with Cynthia, who makes notes about Ultra Beasts and the Tapu, as well as Solgaleo/Lunala. Then she’ll go to the abandoned trial site to see what Bulu did first hand, then to the lake of the sunne/moone musing the connection between the legends, the Tapu and the UBs as well as noting the importance of lakes in her own region before going to the Altar and battling you there. After this she’ll be found at the Dimensional Research Lab helping Burnet due to her experience with the Creation Trio. In rematches, shell leave for different ruins, either one of the Tapu ruins, the lake, or the altar.

      Her team is

      (All Lv. 75, Lv. 77 Garchomp)
      Spiritomb, Togekiss, Z-Milotic, Roserade, Lucario, Mega Garchomp

  5. Whelp I’ve officially gotten started in the Battle of Alola. I’ve battle 7 people so far….aaaaannnnd I’ve only won like twice…..Still doing better than I thought I’d do tho. Most of my battles have been very close and the last one I did I nearly won. Got beat by a Necrozma with Earthquake and all I had left was my incineroar. If I had been a little bit faster then I’d have won indefinitely. Anyway I’ve been putting up a good fight for having done no prep for this, my Pokemon not being at lvl 100 for Hyper training yet, and it being my first time in any kind of competition. At the very least this is all great experience. I have to admit in the really close battles I really feel like I’m getting into. It’s so cool to be in battles with real people. Just wish I was a bit more knowledgeable about the metagame and that my pride would let me use the legends more…..lol Anyway, I my not do the max amount of battles we’re allowed each day, but it’s all certainly fun and maybe in the next competition I’ll actually have a better idea of what I want to do both team wise and strategy wise.

  6. Okay so I just watched that Generations ep. Thoughts:
    -Emma’s mask literally has a huge “E” on it. How could you not notice that looker?
    -Espurr is adorable and how dare she kick it
    -Overall it was rather pointless. Nothing happened, not even a Xerosic or Malva cameo..
    -Did a good job of portraying the emptiness of Lumiose Cafes at that end scene

    The Kalos generations eps are basically everything you would expect from a bland region, and I’m trying to be optimistic about them
