RUMOR: 20 New Pokémon Added for Pokémon Stars

A week ago Laura Dale, a video game journalist, participated in a Reddit AMA (‘Ask Me Anything’) session for the Nintendo Switch in which she claimed that the Pokémon Sun and Moon follow-up, codenamed Pokémon Stars, could feature 20 new Pokémon.

This is notable as Dale has been involved in leaking other information about the Nintendo Switch which has been proven accurate. She mentions that another gaming writer (who unceremoniously announced Pokémon Stars on the release day of Sun & Moon) didn’t think the inclusion was likely.

Where this leaves us, the fans, isn’t known, but it does raise a question: will their be Nintendo Switch exclusive Pokémon? While we have always had new forms or event legendaries for titles within the same generation, content has never been locked away on a separate console. This could make some uncomfortable if they can’t catch ’em all without ponying up what is likely to be $300 for the Switch this spring.

A Nintendo Direct focusing on the new console is just a week away, so we could see the title announced with more details then.

      • exactly; literally nothing, that’s why Stars or anything else follow up to S/M won’t happen. Just pull S/M up in IDA and have a fun time seeing that S/M was planned ever since X/Y and actually, nothing else is.

        • Nothing except rumors from sources who have repeatedly proven their credibility. It’s not confirmed, of course, but it’s not something to just ignore.

          Reply
          • Far from ignoring it, that’s why I had the thought of looking up things in the ROM. X/Y predicted OR/AS which then again predicted S/M by game origin values. Sadly, I can’t find the original source on that because the site was hacked, but two unused game origin values were in OR/AS and guess what, we got two more games. S/M got nothing more, they fill up those slots.
            As for “Stars” to be Switch exclusive, different wireless communication make the games directly incompatible. Indirect compatibility, like Bank, would probably work, however there’s no reason they would ever do that.

          • They’ve only run out of numbers for the console-specific titles, that’s basically it. It’s not a perfect explanation, but gen 8 is the next step.

  1. If stars is real, then I HIGHLY doubt we’ll see it at Switchmas. It seems to close to SM’s release to be announcing a game that’s basically an enhanced version.

  2. I doubt there will be 20 new POKEMON in stars. Now 20 new FORMS yeah that’s a very good possibility. Very often in Japan when we get a new form for a Pokemon the Japanese promotion will call it a “brand new Pokemon!”. In the end it’s just a form. It’s likely the same kind of semantics here. I could very well see 20 new Alolan forms or even 20 new megas. They skipped megas for Sun and Moon to fully show off Z moves, but I don’t think megas are done for. I could see Stars being the start of Alola basically integrating what the rest of the world has more wholly. At the end of SuMo they had just gotten a Pokemon league and now Mega stones are making their way more wide spread into the region.Stars is definitely a real project if you ask me and I believe this person is also a reliable source as well. People can get things wrong while still being correct so I wanna say that what she said is at least partly true. Only time will tell, but that what I think lol

    • I can agree to this.remember spiky ear pichu? They hype that up very seriously around that time calling a new Pokemon and everything. I like the pichu but it didn’t deserve that much marketing even if a movie was coming out at that but,but like you said Japan tends to do that lol

  3. hmm… well it would be interesting. I just hope that it’s not the exact same game but now with 20+ new pokemon(if even that it’s probs just new forms or something), some dialogue changes or extra story would be nice.

    Reply
    • Prolly won’t be. I wanna say one of the rumors from Eurogamer stated that the story would be more or less all new. I honestly don’t have any idea where the article they said that is now tho. I don’t think it was in their first article about the game, but in a subsequent one that featured rumors about a bunch of games. I could be wrong tho lol

      Reply
  4. I would hope if i have to pay that much money for a whole to console to buy a pokemon game there would be way more than 20 pokemon

    Reply
    • And as stated prior, Im pretty sure they’ve said new pokemon when they mean form change/ mega. And since megas and form changes have pokedex entries it could seen as a new pokemon. Still better be more than 20

  5. Earthen’s Demands for Stars (if not met severe repercussions are as followed)
    -a better Story: have much more fights with opponents with fuller teams that can’t be easily shot down, Ultra Beasts actually destroying and causing harm,
    -Ultra Space: lets face obvious facts it sucked, they should’ve made a whole distortion world puzzle gauntlet (and give Lusamine a frigging Nihilego)
    -Much better leveling options, or at least make Chansey chainable or at the least some kinda easy grind
    -more customization options, like more hats and backpacks,
    -make IVs passable from Hyper Training
    -Move Tutors and give Bewear Drain Punch
    -friend safari return or customizable summer villa that you buy plants and furniture that attract Pokemon you can battle/catch

  6. This is so weird; not long ago, I stumbled upon a /vp/ thread that had an image of around 20 silhouettes, including potential Alola forms and fossil Pokemon. According to the posters, using reverse image search yielded no results, leading many to wonder where the image came from.

    After so many curveballs were thrown at us during Sun and Moon, I’m willing to believe anything.

    Reply
  7. Here’s an idea. So in the run up to SuMo many of the rumors we got that actually had real stuff ended up getting some small things wrong like not having Alolan forms in the actual game. What if the leakers from those rumors actually had general info and assumed the forms would be in SuMo, but those forms were actually being held off from Stars? So in stars we could see Alolan Arcanine, Alakazam, and Dodrio. What people think?

    Reply
    • Will we get that fighting type Arbok?

      Though, I doubt we’ll get Alolan Alakazam, considering it already has a Mega and the vanilla Abra line is already in the Dex.

      Reply
    • And the SS Anne!

      That actually makes a ton of sense. I heard a rumor (I guess it’s a rumor) that GF was working simultaneously on SM and stars, and that a few months before release they stopped to focus on SM. It’s not that out of the question to think that the leakers may have had mixed info.

      Reply
    • no more Aololan Forms, because of them i’ll never see my Mega Golem which becomes a spike boulder

      and if we get more for god’s sake MAKE THEM PURELY ENVIRONMENTAL seriously the way they shoehorned BS reasons for changes

      Reply
        • i never said that, i’m saying make alola Forms actual environmental adaptations
          so far the only ones that get a pass is Exeggutor, Ninetales and Snowslash (but i don’t agree on their secondary typing for the ice ones) and maybe Muk but only because i liked that they made it dark because of the chemical changes making its metabolism go haywire and causes it to violently eat everything in sight

          but the rest are purely just reskins for lousy reasons,
          Raticate living at night, Meowth being raised by royalty, Marowak becoming a Fire/Ghost type just because of Grass types (they still have water types to deal with too) and Diglett growing whiskers just to monitor above ground they’ve done that fine for years

          Reply
      • Agreed. I’d also like to see that. The idea of Alolan forms is so interesting. I’d love to see it spread to the other regional Pokémon

        Reply
  8. I have some ideas for a few of the possible 20 new Pokemon:

    7)Turkish Cat Pokemon (Type – Normal/Ground, Fairy/Rock, Grass/Ground, Dark/Fairy)
    8) Dictator Pokemon (Type – Normal/Dark, Dark, Dark/Poison)
    9) Gold Pokemon (Type – Ghost/Rock, Rock/Psychic)
    10) Kimono Girl Pokemon (type – Ghost/Fairy, Ghost/Psychic)
    11) Smoothie Pokemon (type – Grass/Water)

  9. I stg if these are all UB’s that we just randomly catch out in the wild I will not be pleased, however I will accept new ultra beasts but I want them to have a story

    Reply
  10. Ehh, I’ve made my feelings in the Starts rumors enough so I won’t bog people down with that. All I’ll throw in this time is that their have been some questions of Laura Kate Dales credibility with her leaks, given she has back peddled on some of her initial claims when information that contradicted her claims came out. We’ll see sooner or later what stars is, if it even is a thing, though honestly I can’t see GF really thinking its a good idea to gate 20 pokemon behind a roughly $300-500 dollar price wall, and on hardware that hasn’t proven successful over the 3DS which has.

    Reply
    • Well whether She is credible or not the rumors about Stars don’t originate from her so it really doesn’t matter. Imo stars is in fact a real project and will likely be announced by May of this year. And Like I’ve said I think the new Pokemon will likely just be new forms/megas. they’ve done game exclusive forms before and there isn’t anything stopping them from doing ti againlol

      Reply
      • True they have done exclusive form before, though I think its just a bit excessive in this case. Demanding that people buy the newest pokemon game to have the new forms is fairly reasonable, but demanding people buy a new console along with a new game and any other things that they’ll need is a bit of an extreme jump in my eyes. Then again I’m the person who doesn’t think that stars, if real, would be a main series game, so who knows really.

        Reply
        • They have to move onto the system at some point. There is no difference between them putting a new gen on the Switch and putting up a new gen 7 game. From what we’ve heard Stars will be a new story. That coupled with the possible new Pokemon/forms/megas is more than enough. The idea that people shouldn’t have to buy a new system in order to play a game is not a new idea, but it certainly is a silly one. Eventually everyone will have to buy a Switch if they want to play the newest games. That’s how this industry works. lol

          Reply
          • Well yes,your right in one sense. If the switch is going to be the 3DS successor, then yes it has to be moved eventually, but the thing is Gamefreaks not usually the fastest to abandon old tech. Remember that gen five could have easily launched on the 3DS if they delayed the game in Japan, but they didn’t given the DS had far to many sales to take the gamble on some new tech that people might not buy into right away. The same can be said here. Before the holiday season the 3DS was sitting at about 60 million units sold, and that’s a pretty big market to cut out and assuming that everyone’s going to buy a switch at launch, and even then sales would still probably be less then putting it on the 3DS. What makes more sense is for them to eventually put it on the switch, but in a couple of years, after any shortages are taken care of, theirs a bulky enough library to justify the machine as more then a pokemon box, and Nintendo can meet the sudden demand, but again those are my opinions.

          • I will agree that GF is not typically one to jump to the next system right form the get go. I would say that’s partially due to their laziness tho. Back when they were developing gen 5 Iwata was making a push for them to develop a 3D game, but they basically said they wanted to stick to pixels as they were comfortable with them and didn’t want to do 3D. Iwata’s word obviously pushed them ultimately as gen 6 was in 3D. I would say that as times change they’re delay to the next system will become lesser and it’s very possible this time they are making the jump almost right away. As for staying on the 3DS I’d say that it’s over stayed it’s welcome at this point. I like the 3DS very much, but its tech is so outdated now. SuMo have pushed it to its limits and another game would be a waste on it. Each installment needs to offer something of an improvement, even just slightly. The 3DS really has nothing more to offer other than just being readily available.

          • True, and if you were only speaking on the OG 3DS, I’d agree, but we can’t denying there is that pretty big elephant in the room that is the New 3DS. The tech from that is still pretty good, and because of it you could see them getting another couple years out of the devise, at least in my mind, and because of it being a 1.5 device, their’s no need to not put it on the regular 3ds. it might run like crap on it, but as long as you allow it to and put a little tag on it saying best on the new 3ds, people really wouldn’t care.

            But again time will tell with what we’ll see. Like I said I don’t think that Stars is going to be a main series game, much less a third version since they haven’t done one since Platinum. But we’ll see. Here’s to hoping what ever GF come up with turns out to be something successful.

        • but wouldn’t that be smart on their part? pokemon is going to sell no matter what and that will help push the console even more. I mean you don’t have to buy it, but nothing in life is free

          Reply
          • In a sense, yes, but you could also say that Mario sells no matter what, which it does to a degree. The problem in my eyes is that Nintendo just made a huge push with the 3DS this last year, still has a strong lineup of games on the horizon, and trying to release a main series game at a new consoles launch might leave people feeling burned, more so if it turns out that the switch really doesn’t work well as a handheld device, or worse, isn’t intended to be Nintendo’s main handheld device, but that’s getting into a whole different debate.

            Generally for me it just feels like a lot of this is things that people want to hear and thus believe, but when looking to GF and how they’ve handled pokemon, it leaves me skeptical.

  11. Oh if this is true then I’ll be hyped to get a third version instead of playing it and being like “ugh Im only doing this for the new forms of pokemon”

    Reply
  12. The thing that bugs me, is why hide 20 Pokemon out of Sun and Moon’s datamine and put them in a third version? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Though it would bring the total of new mons up to 101 for this gen, that is if all of the Pokemon are newly introduced Pokemon.

  13. Does anyone know where the Switch rumors from today are? I keep seeing people talking about them on Twitter, but no one has linked

    Reply
    • I’ve been following Game explain personally, though their largely getting it from peoples twitter. So far the big ones are that Breath of the Wild is a launch title, and Mother 3 is coming to the switch, which isn’t going to happen. That dreams is dead and long buried.

      Reply
        • No worries. Though I’ll be the first to say I think their going a little to heavy with these rumors given that we’re all slowly setting ourselves up to getting upset when a lot of these rumors turn out to be false, like they usually do.

          Reply
          • Idk many of the rumors are coming for people that have good track records. All the details might not be 100%, but I’d say anything that involves Eurogamer and Emily Rogers are likely to be mostly real.

          • Euro gamer maybe, but Emily Rogers has kinda lost a lot of her credibility over the years, one of her biggest messup’s being Mother 3 coming to the Wii U. I’m not saying that their all wrong, but their are cases where they might have bits and pieces of real info, but then make assumptions that turn out wrong.

          • True, but it’s possible Mother 3 was set to come to the Wii U, but got scrubbed for some reason. I won’t say that she is 100%, but it’s not like she could know everything change Nintendo will make. She only knows what she is told and if things change then it makes her look bad even tho she didn’t do anything.

          • That though again is one case of her information being wrong, and at the time it was very specific information, saying that it was going to be shown at E3, but I get what your saying. But at the same time I don’t feel she’s without blame. When people reveal these rumors from their sources their openly putting their necks on the line. They have to speak out saying they openly believe what their sources are telling them, and if their wrong, then they made a bad call trusting their sources. We’ll see in like ten-ish day’s how much of what has been rumored is true, and then we’ll likely see a lot of people turn against these leakers if they are proven false given the average person would think that you could verify the information with another source, or simply check in with them to make sure that the info’s still good. But again we’ll see soon enough.

    • idk why people want stars on the switch AND 3ds it would be a waste of time to make the same game on two different devices

      Reply
        • look at hyrule legends, Yoshi wooly world even Super mario maker! all ported to handheld and they looked terrible compared to their HD counterparts. I say if pokemon goes on the switch it should just be there not on both

          Reply
    • Well two things: 1. Don’t assume that D/P remakes and Gen 8 would come to the switch since one of those isn’t confirmed and in general we really don’t know what Nintendo really plans to do with the switch. Assuming things its the quickest way to make an ass out of yourself in the future, and we’ll have to see how things go. If it does go that way, then the majority of us who are resistant will probably be on board, but at this point we really don’t know what to expect.

      2. I can’t speak for everyone, but honestly I don’t have high hopes of the switch being able to merge two markets, no matter how hard Nintendo tries to force them, since nobody(and please tell me of a case that has succeeded in the past) has really been able to do so before. Really if I were being super negative about it I would say that I see it appealing to people that want a good homecolsole from Nintendo, but it ulitimately being ignored by the handheld community, or at worse it crashing almost as bad as the Wii U given it might not be able to find a proper market, since even with the ease of porting people might still favor the PS4 or XBone, and the handheld market might simply say screw Nintendo for making them pay for a $300-400 for a box to play pokemon and inturn push dev’s to stay with the 3DS, or even urge Nintendo to make a new Handheld proper, which won’t really help the switch.

      And I’m really not trying to be negative by any means. I want to see the switch succeed, but I feel like the closer we get to the reveal the more critical we have to be of the facts. That the last real attempt to make something similar to the switch(in terms of a high power handheld), being the Vita, backfired as dev’s really didn’t see much of a reason to make games for it since it either cost too much, or it wouldn’t really bring in enough money to make it worth it for them. The switch really won’t have troubles from a triple A dev in that sense, but the double A market might reject the machine. As well, we have further evidence of how hard it can be to merge markets with things like Super Mario Runner kinda doing less well then expected. Its doing ok in sales, but its probably far less then anyone would have guessed having a Mario game on mobile, with the general consensus being that the Mobile Market doesn’t want it, and those who are enjoying it being largely those of hardcore Nintendo fans and the usual handheld crowd.

      And by all means please tell me why you don’t see these things are issues or concerns, or even how you think Nintendo could get around them. Because from where I’m standing 90% of people talking about the switch simply seem to be ignoring the concerns that people have; telling them to shut up or that they don’t matter, and others actually so have some valid points that do allow us who are concerned to see things from a different perspective. I want to get hyped and see this things as a huge success, but everything we’ve seen over the years seems to actively suggest that the Switch could either be a huge success, or a massive failure, and it all depends on who they try to appeal to and what market they go after.

    • So, you actually think it’s a good idea for Sun & Moon to be the only Gen 7 games for the 3DS? If that happens, I might actually not use Bank to transfer my Gen 6 mons cause I don’t want them stuck in such an incomplete game.

      Reply
        • But X & Y had ORAS to complement them, which is my point. If Sun & Moon are the only Gen 7 games (and the last overall) for the 3DS, they’ll be forever isolated.

          • X an y had alot of things in complete especially story wise. I can agree with sun and moon too only because I expected them to finish up some stuff left unsaid in x and y but instead they just go hey here is zygarde -_-

          • You can breed to get non Alola Pokemon. An NPC tells you that in the game. I’m not sure how it works with cubone, egg and pikachu. But the ones that pop from eggs Forsyth have a chance

  17. I want ma Fire/Ice, Ice/Bug, Electric/Grass and Fire/Grass Pokemon!
    As well as Normal/Ghost and Rock/Ghost.
    I was very disappointed when Silvally transformed into pure types instead of preserving the Normal type as the first one. I thought it was going to bring us all the Normal/* combinations.

    A Normal/Ghost would rock: 3 inmunities, 1 weakness.
    The Rock/Ghost could be a grave.

  18. I think 4 of the new Pokemon will be the Fossils, I mean some time would have passed since Sun and Moon, so maybe they excavated new fossils that are exclusive to Alola.

  19. New Pokemon introduced mid-generation is the correct direction for Pokemon to go in. It keeps the metagame fresh, prevents competitive battling from getting too stale.

    I’ve been asking for this since BW, so if it does happen it would be a welcome.

  20. I came up with some fantastic ideas for Gen 8:
    a) Gen 8’s Cat Pokemon; based on Garfield. Its name would be Purrest. Type: Normal-Fairy

    b) Pokemon based on a flag, known as Drapooky. Type: Ghost-Flying

    c) Disco Insect Pokemon, name is Buggie. Type: Bug-Psychic.

    d) Pancake-Ghost Pokemon, known as Pancreep. Type; Ghost-Normal

    e) Wooly Crab Pokemon, known as Knitacean. (Type; Water-Grass)

    f) Maple Pokemon, known as Syren (Syrup + Siren). Type: Water

    g) Political Bird Pokemon, also known as Gauchirp and Droibird. (Gauchirp – Flying-Fairy, Droibird – Flying-Dark)

  22. Hey below there was a comment asking about the source of recent switch rumors. What rumors were they talking about (I don’t want to miss any)?

    Reply
  23. Stars (purely a codename) isn’t supposed to be discussed during the presentation next week but there is supposed to be between 20 to 30 new Pokémon that can be traded and exclusive to the platform and Pokémon that can’t be obtained in it. Among the new Pokémon are supposed to be new Alolan forms and some evolutions to Pokémon previously seen. (I’m hoping for a male Salazzle.)

          • i spent the last 3 months watching videos, u should use the reddit it has alot of rumors and stuff

          • I’ve been checking the Reddit occasionally as well. Even if none of the rumors are true, it’s still good to keep us busy. xD

          • Yeah, either one’s fine. I still have discord on my phone, so I don’t mind using that. But if we use chatango then more people could join in.

          • Ill make a switch chatango for the event so we dont flood the comments with “OH MY GOD”

          • Is this the Pokémon community nowadays, wait for one thing to come out and jump on the next hype train once it’s released.

          • That’s sorta always been me, at least. I’m still enjoying and playing SM, I haven’t just given it up, but a new console release is a huge deal.

          • I would say more gaming in general is like that the just pokemon. Hype things up, love it for a week, the complain that it wasn’t perfect and demand you get the next best thing soon or else.

          • The hype is part of the fun though, I wouldn’t say that it’s an issue (unless it’s like NMS, where the hype sorta killed the reception).

          • I didn’t even pick it up at all (mainly because I didn’t even know about all of the hype at that point).

          • Hype can be dangerous though given too much of it kills all expectations. Really imagine if in ten days if only half to the rumors turn out to be true. That pokemon stars isn’t real, or mother three isn’t coming, or heck the extreme being that the switch isn’t going to be the new handheld as well as a console and Nintendo actually meant what they said when its a homesonsole first. How many people do you think their would be saying Nintendo’s doomed now, I’m not buying this worthless brick, screw Nintendo and the like.

          • But you can blame people shouting into a vacuum on what they feel are the right choices for the company to make having no idea what’s actually going on behind the scenes and then acting like spoiled children that they didn’t get something that was never promised in the first place. Its why I say don’t act like something’s real until its proven real. Because if you get upset that something turns out to be a false rumor, you can’t get mad at anyone but yourself for believing it, but of course people will point their hatred at Nintendo.

          • That’s very true, but hype isn’t the same as thinking you know what’s best for the company. If they make the decisions you said earlier, people likely would have been just as mad if the rumors hadn’t existed at all.

          • But at the same time you can’t deny that Hype and this mindset do walk close to one another. Also while people would complain no matter what, a lot more people will complain because of the hype putting this idea in their head. Like you can’t really be disappointed if you expect nothing, but the moment you expect everything is the moment you set yourself up for disappointment, if that makes any sense. Like no matter what people will be disappointed with the switch in ten days. The Hype is too high at this point for it not to fall a bit. By how much simply amounts to what Nintendo does and who you ask.

          • I get where you’re coming from now. Not all are like that, but I’m sure that you’re right for a part of the fans. All I know for sure is that Nintendo really needs to pull through with this event, this will make all the difference.

          • I’m not saying you personally are, but I think we both know that their are people on the internet or real life who would proclaim that Nintendo’s doomed the moment they do anything different then what they think is the right choice.

          • yea i agree, but i have really high hopes for this system, u can tell obviously but i do think the cons at times too!

          • And I really hope that this system does well, but I really don’t know what Nintendo has planned for it which is why I’m concerned. This thing could be great, or it could be a massive failure as well. At the very least though I do feel like some portion of Nintendo’s market will not respond well to the switch and that might hurt it more then we would like to think.

  24. Ok, so usually in a Nintendo direct style presentation, Nintendo always has a “One last surprise” announcement at the end. What do you think that announcement will be on Switchmas?

  30. Kinda saddened we are already talking about a new game when Im not even done with sm. That being said, i will be mad to have an exclusive main story game only for switch. Thats almost 500 dollars for 20 new pokemon. Thats an awful deal

    Reply
        • That, and the cost only goes up when you factor in a pro controller, and additional add on’s, ect. Though Yeah I can’t see the switch being less then 300, and probably closer to 350 if I were a betting man.

          Reply
    • Also it’s not like you’re paying 500 dollars for only 20 Pokemon, you’re also getting the new features and fixes of stars. Plus the ability to play the other switch games, which will likely be great.

    • Short answer, nobody knows at this point. Just gotta wait and see. Just know that the next 10 days will be pretty much open season for fake leaks. So take everything with a grain of salt.

          • Yup. Pretty much everything about the switch will be known in a matter of days, hence why you see a lot of us talking about it in here and trying to figure out what Nintendo has planned for it.

          • Hard call. I’ve been open that I don’t think Stars is real, but even if I did it would be hard to think they would announce it so soon. Seems like its more of something you would announce at E3. That said though I wouldn’t be surprised to hear something like a Pokken port with the four new characters coming to the switch, or maybe even new characters as well.

          • I doubt it. Pokemon usually does their own thing, plus it seems too early to announce a better version of SM, I almost think it’d hinder sales.

    • I never would have thought I would use some of the pokemon in my team but they have proved themselves very useful for me over time
      For Black 1: Sigilyph and Jellicent.Sigilyph had Magic Guard and was a great help against Ghetsis’ Cofagrigus while Jellicent provided great coverage for my team
      For Black 2: I used Swanna and Galvantula.My Swanna was a savage against Marshall’s team,she single handedly swept and getting lucky flinches.For Galvantula,I slowly found it to be very cute
      For Alpha Sapphire: Ludicolo,I never realized on how useful this pokemon was to my team until I used him,especially since I picked Torchic as my starter
      For Moon: Drampa,Lycanroc Midnight form,Lurantis and Araquanid.Lycanroc,Lurantis and Araquanid lasted me for most of the game,they provided my good coverage but has since been replaced with Kommo-o,Drampa and Alolan Ninetales….even though it gave me a severe weakness in dealing with rock types.Drampa was a last minute entry into my party because I really needed a bulky pokemon and he was capable of learning surf and energy ball to provide coverage

  34. So honest question about the switch. Its more or less been confirmed that the Switch will have only about 32 gb’s of storage on the device. Do you personally see this as an issue for yourselves? To give a bit of a sense of data size for those who aren’t that familiar, Splatoon was just shy of about 2 gb’s, something like witcher 3 was about 22 gb, and something like gta 5 is roughly around 60 gb.

    Reply
      • Yes and no? Generally cartridges are known for usually faster load times, but at a cost of size since their not cheap to produce. The exact sizes of game cards isn’t known, but its about 16 gb at launch. So in a sense you could think of it as being able to own two or less games digitally, if you buy games digitally.

        Reply
          • Yeah theirs no knocking quality, simply a concern of space at an affordable level. That, and it does seem a bit odd that Nintendo wouldn’t be designing a console that can handle a digital market like its competition easily can. I mean I can’t imagine people would complain that much if say the switch had something like say a 250 gb SSD built into it, but Who knows really. I’m still a bit of a greenhorn with specs and why it might be more favorable for Nintendo to take the switch in the direction it did.

          • Nintendo are probably just being cheap, as usual. Just like the Wii U being 8-64gb but “just expand it with an SD card yourself”.

            PS 4 has to have 500 GB+ because there’s no way to add storage to it.

          • Good point. I suppose now we’ll just have to see if their is a way to increase its storage size or not. If the latter though, do you find it a possible issue? I mean its probably safe to say that we won’t see cases of dev’s offloading data, for lack of a better word, which has kinda become common practice these days with it, but it would limit the digital market a fair bit. Heck given we don’t know the full range of how big cartridges can be for the thing, I’m curious to see if that could also limit which games could even come to the console. I mean in general we know that skyrim is coming which is normally around 20 gb of data, though their are a few ways to drop that number, and its possible that they did for this version.

  36. I just came up with a good idea for a Fakemon:

    The Beat Pokemon
    Type: Electric/Fighting
    Ability: Constant Tempo (After hit by an attack, its speed gets boosted)/Static
    Height: 4′ 11″
    Weight: 96 lbs
    *Would be based on an ape and the concept of a boom box incorporated into its design.
    Dex Entry: As if it were drums, this Pokemon beats its chest in order to store electricity. When it beats, a burst of sound waves are emanated, so it can beat its chest different ways to create different sounds. This makes them pretty popular at concerts. Constantly moving also helps keeping the electric flow from stopping.

          And yeah Watt’s kind of adorable to me. Though she’s not my favorite in the series. That forever go’s to Vivian in TTYD and its mostly for reasons that Nintendo never probably intended.

          Reply
          • Your telling me a Nintendo game in 2004 had a trans character omg I already love her. Oh I guess Birdo was sorta trans but they kinda retconned that which sucks?

          • Yes! It is canon that she is transgender, they only removed it in a few countries because the localization teams didn’t agree with it. But she is 100% Trans, no retcon was done

          • If we could get more of that in modern gaming I would be so happy. Yeah really hope the Switch has TTYD on Virtual Console or a remake or something because I really wanna play it. I’m really loving the N64 Paper Mario

          • Have you ever played Dragon Age: Inquisition? it is my favourite game ever, its on PS3 and PS4 and made by bioware, a canadian company. It has a similar feel to skyrim and other open world RPGs but in this game every story element is extremely rich and you have several same sex and opposite sex romances that you can pursue and omg the feels!!! But my point of it all was that there is this really strong and cool character named Krem and he is openly trans, and a bad ass warrior. You can even talk to him about it.

          • Well that’s kinda the case, but not really. It wasn’t so much that she was cannon trans and it was removed, as much as it was a happy accident. In the Japanese version there’s a scene where her sisters insult her and more or less said that she looks manish. Most localization teams realized that meant that she’s being insulted. that their saying shes ugly. One team, I think the Italian localization team, mistranslated that as her being a man and thus it became a debated cannon if she was a woman or if she was a transwoman.

            However once people looked at the trans angle, the game has a bit of an interesting tone. Her sisters always call her a sister or a woman, implying that they have no trouble with being trans. People refer to her as female meaning that either can’t tell or their being polite. She openly expresses feelings to Mario, which could also make her one of the first gay characters depending on who you ask when it comes to sexual preference and trans, and her kinda putting aside her feelings for Mario at the end of the game so he can live a happy life with Peach could be because she realizes that Mario might not realize that she is trans and might not be attracted to that.

            But yeah, her being Trans is more or less accepted as cannon, though I don’t think their’s ever been an official statement on it. More just a happy accident that people kinda liked.

          • … theres a lot about this that bothers me but I won’t say anything about it (its not even about Vivian being trans but other things) but I mean, I really don’t think it was an accident there are several moments in the games that kind of confirm it, sure nintendo themselves won’t say anything about it because they know how crazy people in other countries are and that they feel threatened by anything remotely out of the norm. But yeah pretty sure it was intentional, way more so than birdo, and everywhere I have looked has accepted it as canon and back it up with evidence and such.

          • At the same time though its very easy to read into things where none were intended. And I’m not saying the interpretation is wrong or anything. I like to think she is as well. I just meant that its more or less up for interpretation in the Japanese version and wasn’t made 100% clear. Only a couple of languages did outright say it, and most didn’t either not realizing what might have been intended or any other reason.

            I just personally see it as something Like a Kanji from persona 4 situation where things are kinda vague, despite having a clear answer in the Japanese version, and in leaving it vague fans have kinda come up with their own interpretation, though its not nearly as agreed on as Vivian being trans. But again perhaps its better we just leave it aside. No matter the reason we both agree that the character’s great for many reasons.

      • I would like to know the logic behind these choices. Like some make sense like an eel being water, but some of them seem a bit extreme.

        Reply
        • Well some are sort of extreme, and I’m still thinking of explanations for a FEW
          A few easier ones to explain are Accegor who is mainly adapting to become more ninja like in a grassy environment. It tends to use the nature around it to perform its tactics. For example, it can create a pseudo-smoke bomb out of just natural material. Bronzong is also easy in the fact that several dex entries for it mention it being, almost a rainbringer and I decided to build on that
          Shiftry is flat out a strange exception because it is NOT natural. Shiftry was altered in general. Y’know that theory of Genesect being a Kabutops? I essentially applied a similar logic toward what regional Shiftry is.

          Reply
          • Ah interesting with Shiftry, though I would probably make its previous forms Steel though to kinda keep with the theme. Like saying it was an experiment years ago, but eventually some of them escaped into the wind and bred like bunnies to the point that their just common now or something.

            Also with Accegor its a good explanation, though I personally would have probably let it keep a bug typing and then given it one of the other two. Like if dark saying that its become a bit of a dirty fighter and aims at sneak attacks, or using grass for the explanation you used. But good work so far.

            Some other easy ones could be Goodra changing itself in order to protect Goomy, given how weak they are, and maybe cacturn being a victim of living in a land with so little water that it body petrified turning it into its current form?

          • Thats what I did for Shiftry’s line, but I’m deciding still if Nuzleaf should get flying
            Accelgor is partially didn’t want another form and that I felt Grass/Dark would be a good fit

            Goodra I decided would be like this, they ended up moving toward a volcanic area due to overpopulation of a certain other pokemon and began to take a rather muddy form. Being close to a volcanic area in my region, they began to adapt to the heat and.. well

            I like that one for cacturne, but I’ll think on it

            Mienshao is that classic “Trained in the mountains” story but it became Ice due to a combination of adaptation over many years and as a way to keep up with/hunt prey

        • Accelgor I explained below
          Victini is due to the fact that it managed to fill itself with so much energy (Y’know, Victory energy) that it morphed into an electric type. Its flying part came from more adapted wings for flying at high speeds

          Reply
          • Accelgor’s change makes a lot of sense, and Victini’s is something that works very well with its backstory

          • Goodra and Excavalier’s typings are very different than what I was expecting, I’d like to hear their backstories too

          • Escavalier is the one I’m still thinking of an explanation for, but poison was inspired by Beedrill. Also it has levitate cause the dex states that it FLIES for some reason.

            Goodra is mentioned below

  39. I got some a few new regional variants (there will be about ten more later, but these are the ones I have so far):
    Starmie: Water/Ground
    Gengar: Fire/Dark
    Dragonair: Ice/Dragon
    Dragonite: Ice/Dragon

  40. Some sample abilities that will be included

    Blood Guzzler: The Pokemon restores its own health upon using a contact move on its opponent. This effect decreases the lower its opponent’s health is. (Heals entirely at full and 10% at 1% health)
    Example of a pokemon with this ability: Wompire

    Overcharger: The user can use two turn moves in a single turn and does not to recharge. Instead, it takes 20% recoil damage.
    Example of a pokemon with this ability: Drag00n, Porygon-Z

    Rampage: The more a move is used in a row, the more damage it does. Upon hitting its damage cap it will confuse the user. If the user switches moves, this effect resets. (Increases in .5 intervals up to 2.5x)
    Example of a pokemon with this ability: Primeape, Tauros

          • Trusk? Is that you?

            The 3DS is a now 6 year old system. The Wii U, while being only 4 years old, was a flop and barely pushed a decent amount of units. They are both dead in March. The Switch is going to replace them. That is just logic.

          • Ok what? It could be called Pokemon Nebula or Pokemon Meteor or hell, even Pokemon Uranus. Stars just sounds nice to GF I suppose.

            We have plenty of evidence for Stars and logic tells us that it most likely will be on the Switch. Like, come on Sun and Moon are honestly amazing with how much they push the 3DS but the system is at its limit. The Switch is the start of a new console generation and its time for Pokemon to move

          • why move pokemon to switch when nintendo market sewtich like home conslole, if they are marketing th console as handheld i would understand pokemon stars leak, they wll make new handheld

          • Because the Switch is both their next Console and Handheld. It’ll replace both the Wiiu and 3DS. Releasing a dedicated handheld would just cannibalize sales of the Switch.

          • no boo before they revelaed they said they owld reveal new home console gaming system so get your facts straight boy. we cannot tak nything the leakers say as definitive fact take with grain of sal

          • Use your spell check please. Your words are being underlined red for a reason. And they said that because they didn’t want to spoil it was a hybrid clearly. It’s a console only in part.

          • now you are just creating bullshit, they said home console before, they have home console games like breath of thw ind the system has pro controller it is a fucking home conole, too lazy for spell check i am going fast

          • That’s why its a selling point. its a device that has console games that is portable. As I said before, also releasing a dedicated handheld ontop of that would just kill Switch sales, Dedicated Handheld sales, or both.

          • Then slow down so you don’t sound like your age. They called it a home console because they didn’t want to show the selling point yet. It has a pro controller because it is a HYBRID. It is both. How is that hard to comprehend?

          • i dont care i feel like i sound like 12 cause thatsm my fucking age, dont dare tell me comprehend i understand okay, stars is not coming to switch it might come to both but not only swithc becaus

          • it owwould not make sense, did you see gamefreak immediatly switch to 3ds when the ds was dying, they will tkae their time for the swich to build up an audience they are probabyl gonna release a spin off and game on switch in 2 years get real sheep

          • Pokemon would be a major selling point for the system. The reason B2W2 wasn’t on the 3DS was because it was a direct sequel rather than an advanced version. This version would be an improved version of SuMowith more pokemon, better graphics and better performance with some story fixes. Two years on the 3DS after the Switch release would be actual suicide

          • For the record, I believe its called Stars because Necrozma is, in addition to having a prism theme, a dead star.

        • Personally, I think SM were intended for the Switch, but the Switch didn’t make it in time for the 20th Anniversary. That’s why much of the UI looks like it could cleanly be merged together without affecting the battle, and why they added things like trainers in battle despite the 3DS struggling with XY as it was. With this in mind, it’d be easier to produce a third version based on their original plan, rather than planning out a sequel.

I can completely believe that the next main game will be on Switch, and I can even believe they’ll do a first and make the first entry on a new console a third version, but what I question is adding new pokemon. This however, can be solved by the possibility that the person heard marketing talk, where they consider Megas new pokemon.

  46. So does anyone else want to be the last Elite Four Member of my region? You just need to give the name of the character and the type they use.

    So far I have @IntimidatingWurmple:disqus, @disqus_XiwhDMQ8hA:disqus, and @SpectralSeraph as the Elite Four members, and Ghost, Fighting, and Grass are taken.

    Terramite
    Bug/Rock
    It has a new ability Resilience which halfs damage when their HP is above 50%
    A fairly small insectoid Pokemon of a dark grey and brown coloration, their bodies have a rocky shell and needle like legs that skitter pretty fast, their rears are fat storage tanks that constantly burns off consumed materials, and lastly is their powerful mandibles which resembles a crane claw
    “Consuming more than 50lbs of Rock and dirt a day are these disastrous Pokemon’s dietary habits, capable of chewing mountains to pieces in over a week some have reported feasting on surrounding Rock Pokemon”

    They’re a menace to anything stone!

  51. In an interview with someone of Gamefreak or Nintendo (I don’t remember) someone said that they had to do a different version of the games / different games just before finishing S/M and that he was surprised that they were asked to do that but he liked the results.

    Another thing, was the secret shared with Rockruff and the starters coming from an official source? Because AFAIK the secret isn’t revealed yet… That could be a hint of what’s coming.

    • Alolan Caterpie/Metapod/Butterfree line!

      Alolan Caterpie (Bug/Psychic):
      – Much lighter shade of green on its back, and its belly is a light pink colour. Its antennae are a little longer and lay back across its head onto its back, and they’re coloured a darker pink. Not sure what the story would be here exactly, but the longer antennae would be what it channels its developing psychic powers through, and it uses them for sensing emotions/feelings and such. I’d imagine them as more timid than regular Caterpie and they read the feelings of people and Pokémon around them to know who to trust and who may wish to do them harm.

      Alolan Metapod (Bug/Psychic):
      – Noticeably fatter than regular Metapod, and it’s the same light green colour as Alolan Caterpie but the lines on Alolan Metapod are the light pink colour of Alolan Caterpie’s belly.

      Alolan Butterfree (Bug/Psychic)
      – Its nose/mouth, hands, and feet are the light pink colour of the Caterpie belly. Its feet are smaller than those of regular Butterfree. Its main purple colouration is a lighter purple now. Its antennae are much longer and drape over its head and behind its back, and they are the darker pink colour of Alolan Caterpie’s antennae. Its wings are larger than those of regular Butterfree, and the lines on its wings are the dark pink colour as well now.

    • Hmmmmmm fight Steel with Steel!
      Herore And Ferroic

      Ferroic
      Steel
      The Justice Pkm
      Justified/Guts
      A humanoid Pokemon with a body made out of a flexible liquid metal, they have red and yellow boot and glove like markings and a large fin sticking out atop their cube like heads, a pair of long tassels extends out their necks and resemble a scarf or a cape, they also have extending shoulder blades and lastly yellow goggle like eyes and a mask
      “Nobody knows where these Pokemon originated, some reported seeing them descend from the sky; theirs body is made up of a unknown alloy that has many mysterious properties”

      They learn a plethora of moves including
      Bullet Punch, Extrasensory, Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Thunderbolt, Fly, Teleport, Superpower, sticky web (just kidding), Flash Cannon, Iron Defense and lastly Mind Reader

  62. I just thought of something today.

    Why isn’t the Xbox One suffering from the same naming issue that the Wii U did? The wii u name mislead customers into thinking that it was just an add on to the Wii, so many didn’t even know it was a new console. So why is the XB1 having a similar issue? Wouldn’t people think the “one” would refer to the first XB, and not the newest version? It seems like just as misleading a name as the Wii u is.

    Reply
    • Wii U’s misleading name was also topped by questionable advertising which focused on its unique controller, reinforcing the impression of being an add-on.

      Reply
      • That makes sense, but the XB1 is still losing that “word of mouth” advertising in a sense. If you just heard or read about it then the average consumer still might think that it refers to the original.

        Reply
        • I kinda disagree with that: the original Xbox was pretty obscure except to the Xbox players themselves, who are also the least likely people to mistake people saying “Xbox” today, to refer to the original Xbox.

          Reply
    • to be fair, Xbox had the number theme with 360 and they always name their consoles xbox. Now you have nintendo who every single console had a different name, SNES – N64 – Gamecube – Wii to name them all. Now if you see they kept the Wii name on, hoping that because of how successful the Wii has been, the name will be enough brand power to sell the console. Sadly this backfire because they stopped the tradition, the legacy of naming the console something completely new.

      Reply
        • most likely, because quite frankly the usage of words is key in a succesful marketing and advertisement. With the word super, people would say improvement, better. The only thing is how uneffective the name would. Do you really buy a console with the name super on it. Maybe in the past it would being, but in this generation some people would be ridicule by saying “oh yeah i bought the super wii”

          Reply
      • But the original was called “Xbox” but since that’s just the brand now, you’d have to either say “the original Xbox” or “the first Xbox” (basically where I think it would get confusing to consumers) to distinguish what you’re talking about. I get what you mean, I’m so glad they dropped the Wii brand though.

        Reply
        • the thing is the word one has a bigger impact than first or original. The word ‘One’ does gives that sense of completely fresh or new.

          Reply
          • In what way at all? “One” to me would refer to the first in a series, not the third. It doesn’t sound fresh to me, but I didn’t comment to get in a disagreement about console names. 😛

          • one: the only one -> the only product the matters; like govnah said, all in one. One -> the top, the best One -> the beginning of something new

            see the word first would symbolize first of everything imo.

          • it part of the slogan
            “all in one, Xbox one”
            its meant to be advertised as a home entertainment not just a console

            I care about everyone here as well, and I know they’ll get through this. Tough times happen, and life goes on. Best we can do is just wait it out I guess and hope for the best for them.

          • Good plan. Bad part is that 80 dollars of the money I have set aside is in GS gift cards, so if I can’t order from GS than I have to somehow come up with 80 dollars by March. I’ll probably try to trade some games in or something, Idk.

They may not reveal all that much, but then again, it could also be a surprise-filled event! Any ideas about what I should do leading up to that day to maximize the excitement? Any favorite Nintendo soundtracks? I’m just unbelievably excited to have Nintendo refreshed entirely in this new year. I think the world needs Nintendo’s old 2006 Wii enthusiasm right about now.

    Reply
  71. Man, I apologize in advance for this sort of rant but I’m really disappointed with Decidueye in my playthrough. At the start of the game, it served me good enough but in the later part of the game, it turned out to be really mediocre.
    First of all, Grass/Ghost is shit. It’s very useful to catch other pokémon (learns False Swipe and Normal/Fighting-type immunities prevent wild pokémon from killing themselves with recoil damage from Normal-type attacks / Final Gambit – looking at you, Riolu) but that’s it. I can’t beat Water-types as well as I expected because Ice Beam or Crunch screw it. Psychic-types are usually faster and have Shadow Ball. It’s immune to Fighting-types and I have Brave Bird on it, but they counter with Dark-type moves.
    And then, there’s the stats. It doesn’t hit hard enough, it’s not fast enough, it doesn’t take hits good enough. Even with that 100 base Sp.Def, it takes a lot from Special attacks.
    Granted, I checked its IVs and they aren’t the best (0 HP IV, 6 Speed IV, 15-18 IVs in Def an Sp. Def, only good one is perfect 31 IV in Atk), and if I Hyper Train it, maybe it will make a difference but at that point (when I get it to lvl 100), it won’t matter much anymore as I will have finished everything to do in the game.
    Because of that, I’m considering replacing it for Tapu Koko (to complete the post-game stuff), which I caught 2 days ago and has perfect/near-perfect IVs on every stat and can beat Water-types without being afraid of Ice Beam or Dark coverage, also has Brave Bird, I could use the Fairy coverage AND is actually fast.
    The only reason I’m hesitant to do it is because I have this tradition of not boxing my starter even if it isn’t that good of a pokémon (and Decidueye is actually my favorite of the 3 Alola starters) and I kinda feel bad about doing it (Lusamine’s speech during the story only reinforced this guilty feeling). I need to think about this a bit more.

    Reply
    • Ironically enough, with me was the other way around. It was meh for a good chunk of the game (Especially Dartrix), but it really begun to shine when it evolved. Mine was Quirky (altough no perfect IVs) and destroyed everything in its path, even when underleveled. (take that Sucker Punch, Mega Alakazam!)

      If you’re talking about competitive or Battle Tree though, that’s a different story, since none of the starters (maybe saving Incineroar) really shine in it.

      Decidueye is good, it’s just not an attacker. With all the power creep in the last games, it really looks mediocre. Hell, even Tsareena has better attack than it. But I say with property after using all starters, that with it I had the most fun with a starter since my Sceptile on Ruby.

    Regarding the game, well, its a different game, with its own new Pokémon. That’s valid. In any case, catching them all is not part of whats required in the game, just a thing some players do. As such, I don’t see any ethical issues.
