Hey everybody, due to certain circumstances, we’re bringing you the last regional Mascot Showdown a little bit later! The winner of the last showdown is Xerneas with 53%.
Let’s move on to our last region: Alola. This brand new region is the startpoint for Generation VII – bringing incredible, new features like Trials, Z-Moves, the Battle Royal, Poké Rides, regional variants and so much more!
Pokémon Sun Version
Pokémon Sun featured Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon, on its cover. It resembles a more robust white lion design complete with a galaxy motif on its forehead. Its crownlike spikes and its tuffs of fur around its head resemble a sun. Among the people of Alola, it’s known as the beast that devours the sun and has therefore been honored as its emissary.
Solgaleo is the only known Pokémon that can learn the move Sunsteel Strike. Along with Lunala, its counterpart, it’s the only Legendary Pokémon that’s part of an evolutionary line. Not to mention it also has the highest HP-stat of all Steel-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘sol‘ (Latin for ‘sun’), ‘Galileo‘ (the man who proved that the Earth rotated around the sun) and ‘leo‘ (Latin for ‘lion’).
Pokémon Moon Version
Lunala, the Moone Pokémon, graced the cover of Pokémon Moon. It’s a large skeleton-like bat whose wings seem to resemble the moon, and are made of the night sky. Much like Solgaleo, it can travel between our dimension and the Ultra Space. Additionally, it’s called the beast that calls the moon, thus gaining the title “emissary of the moon” by the Alolan people.
Lunala‘s signature move is called Moongeist Beam. While Solgaleo is called the male evolution of Cosmog, Lunala is called the female one. Its name derives from ‘luna‘ (Latin for ‘moon’) and ‘ala‘ (Latin for ‘wing’).

Has anyone beat the Battle Tree? If so what was the team. I keep losing at 29 or 30. D: It’s too hard. and boring
I want Battle Frontier back!!!!Battle Tree is unfair, I hate how instead of letting you pick back from your rank, when you die, they make you restart.
That’s how a challenge works
Still, how can you make the perfect team to take all of them down?
I’m currently on a 45-streak in Super Singles.
Last time I got to 46 before losing.
Using a team of Specs Primarina, AV Garchomp, Mega Metagross
Man I havent even tried singles yet. Thats probably so much harder.
I’ve played the other formats only to unlock the Super version of them, but I mainly do singles. I actually find it the fastest to grind BP.
I’ve gotten to to 43 so far using my Mimikyu, Scizor, and Bewear(Thought I’d never use that bear. Lol)
I felt the same about Primarina, but the specs set is brilliant for the Tree
I still haven’t used Primarina yet.
Specs Prima is definitely the best competitive starter this gen (so far)
I see. I just haven’t found a good popplio yet lol
Well, I learned my lesson, I’m going to accept that there will be no more new Pokemon games on the 3DS, all will be on Switch, ORAS isn’t as good as I thought, and the Gen 4 remakes aren’t completely favoured as I saw. At least Inow won’t be so arrogant anymore with the stuff, sorry.
Nobodies saying it can’t happen, they’re just stating their opinions
Ok then. Thanks for coming to this conclusion with little to no evidence.
All the evidence are the people’s comments, if so many people are commenting about the similar thing, I’m surely wrong about these.
just because the majority thinks something doesnt mean they’re right
People commenting is not evidence.
People commenting is classified as an opinion.
Except nobody has responded to the ORAS thing, in fact some people said they did like ORAS, and we had 5 LONG conversations about how excited we were for the Gen 4 remakes.
OK I’ll just stop this convo then bye.
And I’m still excited for Gen 4 remakes.
If everyone here told you you didn’t exist, would you believe it?
they’d have an existential crisis
OMG ffs I have said a million times that we really won’t know about the 3DS until the Switch pre-order sales, I never said that ORAS was bad since I haven’t played it, I LIKE Gen 4 remakes and like it, and at this point I think you’re just being annoying and looking for an excuse for attention.
No I just feel guilty about being annoying from before and being so stubborn, I just mean I shouldn’t think people are wrong just because I think so.
Do you think Gen 5 remakes is even a possibility?
yes when its outdated
i wouldn’t mind that
in like 5 years maybe
Remakes no, sequel yes
I really want a sequel, actually. The plot of Gen 5 is good enough to warrant it.
Also there’s never such thing as too much NI find N annoying and unlikeable tbh
wut
no
Ye
Ikr Light Yagami is the who deserved to win
Ghetsis has brainwashed you.
No its just ridiculous how he still think all trainers are bad when he had free roam
And he hates battling but manipulates Pokémon into fighting for him
What do you mean free roam? He was secluded in a castle by Ghetsis, told for years and years about how bad trainers were, etc. etc. etc.
And he doesn’t think trainers are bad by the end of the original games.
He hates battling as a pacifist. He doesn’t like to fight when he doesn’t need to.
Case in point:
https://youtu.be/7F4PiWYc1Rw
He was on free roam for the whole of the game’s story
He didn’t have to battle until he got the Dragon, he basically had an army and his father to do it for him
And he didn’t even need to fight you until the end
Actually….. he wasn’t free roaming, he was in the same city as Team Plasma 99% of the time.
And they left him behind, let him our of their sights, etc
Really? If I recall he always in their sights since he was on the ferris wheel.
Hes on the ferris wheel without supervision
He is left behind in Accumula
No, he’s not left behind in Accumula Town, he was with Ghetsis. It only looked like that so N wouldn’t be suspicious in the beginning.
He’s on the ferris wheel without supervision? If I recall, Team Plasma showed up right after the ferris wheel ride, showing they’d been there all along, and he was a part of Team Plasma.
They showed up before the Ferris ride
That’s never said, and Ghetsis leaves before him in Accumula
You’re right it’s never said. It’s implied. Give me another explanation as to why he only shows up in cities where Team Plasma is. Your argument would make more sense if you saw N at your home town while Team Plasma was in Accumula.
And I’m aware of the ones with the bike in ferris wheel place, but I’m also talking about the Team Plasma grunts that show up after the ferris wheel. The ones that N goes away with.
Look I just don’t like N
No need for the mental gymnastics
He shows up in Skyla’s city without Plasma
If it’s implied, it’s done so poorly
It’s not done poorly. It’s not my problem if it’s not apparent that he shows up in town the same time as Team Plasma every time he shows up.
And he doesn’t show up in Skyla’s city. That’s the cave, and Plasma DOES show up in that cave.
And ok, it’s alright if you don’t like N. I’ll respect that opinion.
Also I was referring to the story of the first games, he should’ve came to a. Realisation sooner
You think Incineroar is good, so your opinions are automatically wrong….
Jk I have close contact with someone making a fangame who likes Incineroar, they’re pretty damn cool
There’s never enough NI don’t think a good plot is enough to warrant a sequel. There have to be plotlines that aren’t closed and the like.
idc I want N back 🙁
Do you want to possibly ruin N’s character?
….fair.
Sooner than you think ;3
2020? ;3
More like 2018 ;3
You see…. I don’t exactly believe gen 4 games are next
Stop
I’m being serious… there is a lot of evidence to it
And lets be honest, would this REALLY be the first time nintendo broke a pattern? Remember Zygardes game?
Thing is tho we’d already had presidence for a lack of a third version
Making Gen V remakes before Gen VI makes little sense, you do them in order becuase the point is to remake old games
All I am gonna say is this
Gen 5 has a lot of evidence… look no further than the battle tree
Gen VII has waaaay more Sinnoh hints
I know, but I honestly see it as a fake out
Besiiiides, why would they redesign that many gen 5 characters and not even touch any of gen 4s if nothing involving gen 5 was going to happen
Probably because Gen IV is happening sooner and thus they’re not redesigning to keep it for Gen IV
And tbh the fact Sinnoh has the least Pokémon and Battle Tree trainers in Alola is obviously setting up for those missing pieces to appear in Gen IV remakes
If you say so, only time will tell ;3
And Silvally is inspired by Arceus
And its also the second game with extradimensional legendaries
True, again, time will tell….
I mean, Burnet must have been put in the game for a reason, right?
She studies other dimensions
This game is about dimensions
Than why use her?
And why Corless and Grimsley
Like why not make a new character for that
Same could be said for Sina and Dexio tho
True
Because she already existed and is relevant to the topic
Why red and blue?
Why Sina and Dexio?
Same reason you gave for Burnet, easy access, and they needed SOMEONE from Kalos
And they needed someone with dimensional knowledge
It’s simply using assets you already have
Okay, but again, Corless and Grimsley, can you say why they were there?
Fan service, same reason Wally, Red and Blue are there
Wally wasn’t fan service to my knowledge
But why redesign them though? Especially Corless
Because they haven’t appeared in 3D so changing their outfit is easier than someone they can repurpose (like Wally and Cynthia)
But Cynthia had the same outfit
Because they can just easily repurpose her for DPPt remakes
Or for 5th gen remakes
In that case, it’d be weird not to change her with the others or the others to be redesigned and not her
Also they can’t reuse Grimsley’s because it’s him aged
Hmmm…
I suppose
Pandering, that is why
But why Corless and Grimsley?
Pandering.
To whom?
Take a guess!
I’ve barely seen people ask for them back
Game Freak would be the last Nintendo company to give a fake out like that.
Cynthia.
Who happened to be in the gen 5 aftergame
She’s in every game where the time line doesn’t conflict
Basically
So if anything she hints more at her home region or is just there because she’s popular
I wouldn’t attribute Cynthia as anything, her placement is weird
TBH it seemed like Kanto was hinted more, but to be REALLY honest it seems like every region was hinted
They’re pandering to Kanto fans to increase sales.
That actually doesn’t break pattern exactly cause also Gen.6 sucked so end it quick
…..What about the fact that gen 5 had two games?
~_~ no clue how to respond
I mean for remakes
The point is, there is still evidence. I’ll take the L if I’m wrong but gen 4 remakes seem TOO obvious
Also, the gen 5 remake clues are scattered all over
The thing with remaking Gen 5 is that they have to remake both sets of games since its a complete story…
That’s what I was thinking. Gen 5 is so plot focused (which explains why there wasn’t a remake during Gen 5)
No.
Honestly I find the moving sprites ugly as hell and wouldn’t mind a remake.
Gen 4 holds up far better in the visual department imo
To be honest, if there’s anything I want from Gen 5, it’s a direct anime adaptation, not counting Ash.
Earthen I need you to remind me what was the moveset of Weavile that’s threatening I only remember Ice Shard and Icicle Crash
Oh! I can say this!
Ice Shard
Icicle Crash
Knock off
Poison jab
Earthen may have a different one but this is what I like
This actually what I thought it was Thanks
Yw! 😀
This is what I use at least
Knock Off and Low Kick/Brick Break I imagine are the last two moves
Ice Shard
Icicle Crash/Ice Punch (for better acc)
Knock off
Low Kick/Fake Out/Swords Dance
Weavile is super frail though, why swords dance?
Sash and its gnarly speed takes care of the rest
Don’t go Ice Punch
On a frail sweeper you don’t really mind the accuracy drop
oh yes you do, because if it fails that could make or break the battle
So can failing to KO
its just 10 points less
Which can still be a difference in a KO
Icicle Crash also has more power, and a 35% chance of flinching as opposed to 10% chance of freeze.

Why does this need to be a thing
Why is a video on this needed
Salt
Don’t most people know why by now?
some people are dumb mongoloids who just have no concept of zoology
(Sigh)
Do you really have to use a racist term for Pokémon
Dated racism
I don’t think dated should really mean anything in any situation.
Makes it worse if anything
No Earthen, dated racism means it was once seen as acceptable but is no longer so
You would think someone who gets offended by the smallest things wouldnt use offensive things themselves. Especially since it can be a term to negatively describe people with down syndrome. Pretty Pathetic
Especially since you said you had autism yourself. smh
Do… you know what mongoloid means?
Hopefully not
honestly i love the fake leak season

Twilight and Daybreak XD
It’s an alright fake tho
It’s so easy to ruin this fake leak too.
Pokemon Twilight and Daybreak? LMAO
Also isn’t it japanese with english voiceover? Reggie won’t be there.
Also Kimishima is presenting so it’s missing that.
Iirc Reggie has showed up in presentations like that before, don’t quote me on it
It’s too late. I shall have your quote until the end of time. YOU CAN’T ESCAPE
He has showed up in presentations like that before tho, but I don’t believe he’s showing up at this oneEither, it’d be a pleasant surprise tho
Pokemon Mun and Soon
And finally, that’s not how the time schedule will work. It’s done through Niconico: http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-switch-presentation-2017-estimated-to-be-about-an-hour-long/
well also even a event invite shows a hour long lol
my mom confirmed this leak
13 minutes of custom joycons aww yeah
Ok am I the only one not ready for a new game? I am not done playing Sun and Moon, we dont even have the national dex yet. I have only built one competitive team. I barely even gotten to shiny hunt or just train pokemon for fun yet. I havent even gotten all my stamps. I havent even gotten to play my moon copy yet. I feel like if a new game is announced, I will be rushed to do all these things.
its weird that the National dex is now with bank
The new game probably wouldn’t come until Holiday 2017, unless it was a 3rd version, which it’d make more sense if it was Summer or Fall
Tbf, Pokémon’s had yearly releases for ages. Most gens have games where there’s only a year gap
I feel that they won’t announce it at switchmas, I agree it feels too early.
XY was announced in January and released in October
SuMo was either February and released in November(?)
So I feel it’s also too early unless it’s an October release
If it’s a third game like Emerald or Crystal, I think it could come earlier than most.
Emerald and Platinum released 2 years after the original
True.
Uhggg the Rad Grunt keeps warping me to Safari Zone instead of the correct place >.>
maybe he wants to take u on a rad safari
no he wants to take me to the not cool zone
Safarad Zone
These puns aren’t rad.
Now I’m seeing rad
You know i’m stealing all these rad puns for NPCs
Good, I hope that one gets used after you defeat a radmin
The credits better say “Thanks to PokeJungle Disqus for the totally rad puns.”
I’d be flatterad
A rad one
“You’re making me Radiculously salty over this”
They can Warp you places? 😮
In the beginning, a grunt kidnaps you and the game is supposed to warp you to the Team Rad base
Do they kidnap you and RADicalise you?
LMAO
Dude that’s like totally rad
I know I’m rad, we’re all rad
Not just rad, we’re radical
How does this even happen? Like that is literally impossible. What is wrong with your rom?
Lol no I figured it out. Didn’t convert to Hex
Yo rad pun compilation for Star
(Spoiler: they get really bad, I’m just challenging myself to find as much puns regardless of quality)
Radmin
“I’m seeing rad”
“I’m flatterad”
“I’m rad to the bone”
“RADicalisation”
“RADio”
“RADioactive”
“Rad the fine print”
“Extra extra! Rad all about it!”
“Are you raddy? ”
“Raddy, set, go!”
“Radiculous”
“RADiant”
“RADius”
Don’t forget “Radmin”
Thank you very much based bear
They’re so bad ;-;
That’s the best part though
Tru
Wait out of curiosity what sort of Pokémon do they use? 😮
Rad ones.
Like Radatta and Radicatte?
FUCK
THATS PERFECT
Radicattes and Zangoose for sure.
Some admins have charadzard
YASS
*Radmins ŘÂĎ~ʕง•ᴥ•ʔง~ŘÂĎ
Electric would be so rad it’s be electrifying
Only Rad ones from Gen.3 probably like Radttata, Sneasel, Porygon, Radichu, Radkou, and Radidash
There should be a scientist that states:
“Sweet Arceus, look at that RADius on the poke ball!”
“Yeah Bro, it’s completely RADiculous
Or how about this:
“The scales are looking quite RAD in my favor”
Refresh, added some even worse new ones
Well, I’ll see you later. I must go, as I can’t handle this radness.
Bye!
See ya
So it’s quarter to eleven and I’m watching fan made anime intros and doing homework due for Tuesday
What is life
@Starstorm some of your Radims should use
Radchu (Raichu), Radidash (Rapidash), and PoliwRadth we all know the last one
Also PaRadsect and NidoRad,
ALSO I FIGURED IT OUT
I didn’t convert the map value of the Rad HQ to Hexadecimal.
-.-
Also I just want to make a gif of every little part of this game but i don’t want to spoil it all!
How long is it going to be? 😮
420 minutes
I really hate you right now XD
Um,no idea actually? Maybe an hour? It wont be too long
*Le Gasp*
I’m sure it’s going to be fun though! 😀
Hopefully! i’m at least having fun making it!
That’s definitely important, if you’re not having fun how will your audience have fun?
ok so im sos chaining rn, and like it went from night to day so will my rockruff not evolve now lol
Boo you failed too it took me four days for mine cause i wanted my beother to see it too
it evolved
Do these sound okay for legendary names
Aceris (Acere, Latin word for ‘be sour’ and the origin of the word ‘acid’, and ‘bris’ a Gaelic (or at least Scottish-Gaelic) with connotations for multiple forms of destruction, such as ‘dash’ (like dashing hopes), ‘breach’, ‘break’ and ‘smash’)
Qalaryk (Qala, Arabic word for’ fry/roast’ and the origin of the word ‘alkali’, and a corruption or ‘dì-làraich’, Gaelic (or at least Scottish-Gaelic) for ‘destroy’)
Neat I like them… I like them alot
Thanks you!
There’s also the third legend
Neuthair (From ‘neuter’, route of the word ‘neutral’, and ‘mathair’, Scottish-Gaelic for ‘mother’. To be ‘motherly’ is to be seen as creating and protecting life, rather than destroy it, as well as to act as a force that restrains conflict).
Dude these are great names
Thank you! 😀
Who wants to take on the mighty KurusuLegends on Showdown? V.s. my Hot Shots

LOVE IT
I named him York :3
Love him
Such a cute trash bag
aw
Yes. I have grown to appreciate Trubbish, especially when imagining them trying to escape Alolan Grimer and Muk. This is Shiny right? Congratulations.
yes my second to last one for my goal
Is your goal 30 by switchmas?
no! just 30
I bet you can make it soon.
You should go for a big one of the finale of the quest, maybe your favorite pokemon or something.
Psyduck
I like the nice shade of blue, good choice!
I tore Kurusu a new one,
I got kinda close I got you down to two
Only because I forgot about Tailwind
I’m really bored so I’m watching a bunch of old nintendo directs because it’s fun to remember what I thought of a game before release vs what I think of it now, and wow, when Iwata was alive we had directs pretty much every single month. I really miss that, I had forgotten they were so frequent. Getting like 2-3 directs a year isn’t enough, especially when they skip E3’s direct.
I miss Iwata 🙁
We all do.
20162015 took a great man.Seraph you ready?
Sure
Fyi, this team has been in need of fixing for a while, but eh
Just thought of something.
In an alternate pikmin 3 universe, the koppai travellers eat the pikmin on their first encounter, discover they are delicious, and take them home as food.
Games Done Quick is playing Shovel Knight btw. 2 player race!
Might as well check it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKdN2d3ChE
So what’s this I’m reading about you working at GameStop and some kind of Switch meeting tomorrow? Anything coming out of this?
Woah woah woah what?
I did some sleuthing on Reddit.
Vague answer, but I’ll take it. 😛
he found my response on reddit
Oh I see what you mean now lol
Ik as much as u do rn, but yes theres a meeting tmmr to discuss switch pre orders
Oh wow. You’re probably going to be under NDA but I can’t help being hopeful and excited.
The thing is i didnt want people here to know my position at gamestop (Ik how the internet gets no offense) . I might not even allowed at the meeting and it will just be managers.
Okay I totally understand, I don’t think you have to worry about being pressed for info though. I just can’t believe how close we are to the big day! I’ll take anything at this point.
Switch pre orders will be the 13th, probably not at opening but at a certain time like 3PM EST, like most nintendo hardware pre orders go live at
Oh so you have a potential advantage, hmm.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to pry for info from you (if I can hold myself back). xD
Lol your job and well being is always far more important than our temporary satisfation
Yea ik, thats why i deleted the comments 😀
Yeah, I wouldn’t risk anything (personally).
yea just ignore me LOL
Hey Seraph after Earthen you want to fight on showdown?
After him and Kuru
You ready yet?
I’m ready Seraph if your still here?
Before I make my team my big loss v.s. Golden
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7pokebankanythinggoes-513708957
Last post before bed, it’s about my legends. They used to be Ultra Beasts, but Seraph and SuMo beat me to the point :p
Also, a bit of context. Acid based moves would all get Basic counterparts, which are physical and lower defense instead of special defense, but besides that are identical. There’s now separate Z-Moves for physical and special moves, with the physical Poison move being ‘Alkali Assault’: the Pokémon charges at the opponent covered in an alkaline aura. The ability Corrosion allows Acid and Base moves to hit Steel-Types for super effective damage.
Both legendaries awaken every hundred years to release their pent up energy and to feed – it’s considered a natural disaster, and people have bunkers for it and everything. The Acid Legendary actively rampaged and destroys, whereas the Alkali legendary passively damages everything it touches. All attempts to neutralise them have been useless. They eventually meet, and have an epic battle which is quelled by an unknown singing voice, accompanied by rain which heals the organic life harmed by these Pokémon – but not damage to inanimate objects, sadly.
Name: Aceris (Based off the Nuckelavee)
Species: Destructive Pokémon
Type: Poison/Electric
Ability: Acid Amplifier
Effect: Strengthens all Acid based moves, giving them a 1.5x multiplier and makes them strong against Steel-Types.
Signature Move: Acid Annihilation
Effect: Poison, Special, 60 Base Power, 90 Accuracy
Lowers the opponent’s Special Defense by one stage.
Acid: Revered as a destructive demon, this Pokémon sprays its acid to destroy all in its path when angered. It leaves no bodies in its wake.
Base: This Pokémon is said to of been born with its twin when the creator purged itself of its negative traits. It’s unknown if this is true, but it accounts for its violent outbursts.
Name: Qalaryk (Based off the Selkie)
Species: Destructive Pokémon
Type: Poison/Steel
Ability: Base Boost
Effect: Strengthens all basic moves, allowing them to hit Steel-Types super effectively and hit with 1. 5x strength.
Signature Move: Alkaline Abhorrence
Effect: Poison, Physical, 60 Base Power, 90 Accuracy
Lowers the opponent’s defense by one stage.
Acid: It is said to of been born alongside its twin as the creator purged its flaws. This could explain why it passively destroys all it makes contact with.
Base: Parts of its skin is heavily alkaline, to the point where touching it will corrode anything that it took touches. It appears it can restrain this freely, but it chooses not to.
Note: the rain can only repair, it cannot replace. So if your arm got melted off, it can heal the acid burns but not return the arm.
OOoh!
