Imagine you had knowledge of a brand-new game; when would be the best time to share its existence with people that cared? If you chose “on the day that its predecessor finally arrived 9 months after it was announced”, you might just be a jerk. That’s exactly what Tom Phillips, and gaming site Eurogamer, decided to do on the release of Pokémon Sun & Moon with the revelation that a third game, codenamed Pokémon Stars, was in the works.
Two months and one giant Nintendo Switch press conference later we’re still no closer to learning about whether or not the game exists. Other gaming journalists, eager to capitalize on the buzz about the title, even casually doled “info” on Reddit (yes, I’m referring to Laura K. Dale).
I like rumors. I imagine that most people visiting my site like rumors. What I don’t like is when professional gaming sites build up hype for a title that seems like it will be revealed soon, but ends up being a no-show. With Sun & Moon being announced a full nine months in advance, it wouldn’t be too crazy to assume that we would get a five or six month advance notice of Stars if it was going to be a Summer 2017 release (which was later “pushed back” according to these same sources).
Just because you have information doesn’t mean you need to share it right away. Professional gaming sites (which this site is not, we’re a fansite) should temper expectations and let fans have at least a little enjoyment of a game’s release before they’re bombarded with news about a successor that may or may not exist.
You all may feel different, but I had to weigh in with my disappointment on how the “professionals” have handled things.
Finished everything I wanted to do today on Rad Red. Next up is some

Looks great! I love the default name choices! xD
Are there Gyms? Or is Brock just going to be some bad ass guy?
The only gyms are Brock and Misty. Since the story is so short you don’t get to battle all 8 of them
Oh are they same types or different types for them?
If they still need teams this could for Brock

i gotta powerlevel and find a Blue Shard if i ever want my Pineapple duck
I thought you could pick up Water Stone somewhere. I like your Team, the only one I haven’t really used is Grumpig.
Water Stones are only 2 places, the Abandoned Ship or painstakingly find a Blue Shard which there’s only one of or try my luck with Clamperl
Is abandoned ship too late for you?
i can’t even hunt them down without Dive so i gotta have 7 badges
Is it a ROM? Can you cheat one in?
they make you do gameshark stuff and they never work
Oh, it does on my Crystal one.
Didn’t you just start Red?
I did that yesterday
Man you play fast
Throttle + Knowledge of everything and optimal levels of badassery and open afternoons = Earthen can beat them in roughly 2 days
I eanted to Shoot a Xatu for the first time in my life
Liza’s Lunatone was a complete hell to get through.
It’s sets up Calm Mind while I was focusing on Tate’s Pokemon and wrecks more than half my team.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/5obbkq/nintendo_reps_might_be_right_about_botw_launching/
tl;dr The build of BotW shown at the Switch event is essentially the E3 Wii U build of the game, meaning they’ve had months for optimizations and improvement, leading me to believe that a 1080p 60fps BotW at Switch launch is possible.
Am I the only one who doesn’t care about FPS that much? If people didn’t bring up FPS differences in games I probably wouldn’t be able to notice at all lol.
I’ve never once gave two donkey asses bout framerate drops or that kinda stuff
never once
I feel like even when there’s a head to head comparison I still have to outright look for it to notice.
You won’t notice small frame drops, but sometimes the fps in BotW dips from 30 to 15 and it’s pretty noticeable.
I mean like 60 to 30.
Well, that’s not particularly noticeable imo
30 to 15fps frame drops are brutal, but I can handle it cause I’m a blind fanboy.
i hope it is.
Golbats are the most annoying Pokemon ever.
In Victory Road, I’m trying to train up my Crawdaunt, and there’s always a Golbat that spawn. And because Crawdaunt is slower, it’s very annoying to take out one, because they love to spam Bite, Wing Attack, and Confuse Ray.
Can’t you use Smoke Ball to run from them?
I could, but I also need to find some Hariyamas and Lairons to level up on
Smoke Ball just lets you run, you’ll still find them.
I’m such an idiot, forgot about that
45 days
So close yet so far
When it comes out, it will have been over 2000 days since that E3 demo, and 1500 days since the official announcement in a direct.
It’s not that much longer.
These 45 days are gonna kill me on the inside, though. It’s gonna feel wayyyy than those previous 1450 days.
Time flys, wow. I had no idea it was announced so long agoZ
*ago.
Keep in mind the official announcement was over a year before our first teaser at E3. We just knew about development at that point.
And arms still doesn’t have a release date
Honestly I see mid-may.
Ughhhhhhhhhhh we’re not even done with Blanduary
And Smeguary i could care even less about
By the way, if that troll knows what it’s doing you haven’t gotten rid of it. Just pointing that out.
The troll’s been IP banned so that solves part of the problem…
Well, then the question is how dedicated he is. Changing your IP isn’t that big of an issue if you know how to do so.
I think if he tries to pull anything off, we’ll be able to tell. He has a distinctive way of starting conversations here on PJN, and are usually completely irrelevant or uncalled for.
Yeah, but again if he’s good at trolling people he’ll still be just as much of a problem. Staying hidden doesn’t matter to him if he can just change his IP 20 times over.
You make a good point, and it’ll be difficult to get of him indefinitely :/
It’ll be borderline impossible. Just try to keep a mod on just in case he comes back around, and make a note to remind people to ignore him. Attention is what it wants.
Absolutely, I’ll do my best 🙂
I will signal the Diciecopter if he returns
Oh so its still a thing!
What do you mean
idk i just thought IP ban was like gone. he was here for awhile so i thought there was issue with IP banning lol
Oh no that’s very much still a thing but IPs can be changed relatively easily
ah yea i know, I learned how to do so in computer class by mistake lmao. but Ziggy didnt seem like a smart troll tho so he wont be a problem anymore i hope
Trolls can appear stupid. This doesn’t mean they are stupid.
yea ik but he would constantly do the same routine he never switched it up. like if u said “I like Lillie as a character” he would say something about being racist
Correct me if I’m wrong but I could’ve sworn that he had already been IP banned, multiple times.
yeah he has
So in theory, an IP ban, while its the best we can do, won’t stop him long term. :/
He’d just have to find a new computer or something to come here on I think..
Changing your IP is possible though
Oh, so I guess that’s a thing too. Well eventually he’ll get tired of having to do that and move on. All people have to grow up at some point.
You’d think lol
So my boredom makes me create, i feel a slithering hissing from below the earth, Serpentine Ghost Pokemon that dwell in haunting places hoping to sink their fangs into the realm of the living
I want to create a Ghost/Dragon Snake Pokemon that hide in the shadows of the underground (and so happens there is a recently discovered species of the same name, pretty convenient)
Slithysis (Slither and Ecdysis (the process of shredding) WIP
Ghost/Dragon
Shed Skin/Regenerator HA: Cursed Body
The Shedding Pokemon
a very long serpent Pokemon with bone white skin and black rings all on their spines, long streamers of grey pale translucent skin are wrapped around their neck that freely blow about, their heads have a “turban” of wrapped skin wrapped around the top of their heads with no visible eye sockets but a green neon eye light is seen through this shroud, and a pair of extremely long fangs, and a grey plated underbelly
“Whenever a Slithysis is gravely wounded they immediately shed and discard their skin, some say that lost souls inhabit these shed skins and are reborn as a new Slithysis”
“This Pokemon cannot smell, hear or see, it flicks its tongue the air and can taste the location of pokemon nearby”
rate my team pokemon stars (gyarados main pokemon) pls rate us!

umm…
trade
I find it hilarious that the first shiny I wanted in Sun and Moon was Morelull and yet its probably going to end up being the last fairy I get in S/M.
Also Mimikyu is a pain to SOS chain
it really is, people have said to put smeargle with the box legends signature move
my smeargle has soak and stuff
Well replace the attack move with it lol
but soak is the only way I can hit them and not kill them?
sorry I mean hit them with false swipe
u soak the mimikyu thats gonna SOS, then you kill the summons with moon
a good set would be
False swipe
Recover
Soak
Attack Move of your choice
yeah this is the same smeargle I used for my ninetales though so it still has freeze dry and moon blast on it
Avoid it, the shiny is disgusting for it
excuse you, I love it
Idk if my team is trash or if I just suck at Overwatch…
I think I just suck
or sometimes the other team has a bastion and a torb with a reinhardt plus Zenyatta
Ouch lol
DONT FORGET SOMBRA AND GENJI. we didnt even get the point with that defense
Have any of you read the Avatar the last airbender graphic novels?
No but I should
I really want to..I’m gonna put them on my list 😛
I think I read the first one or two, but I can’t remember as it was a while ago.
There seem to be quite a few, or you can buy some compilation ones.
Yeah. I’ve been meaning to read them, but I never seem to want to spend the money lol
I need to finish the books I have before I go off and start reading others.. ^-^’
never
its fitting that I would be hunting a ghost pokemon before I die from the uncooked chicken I accidentally ate earlier. and now we wait.
How do you accidentally eat raw chicken? I feel like that would be an easy thing to recognize lol
it seems like it would be but a series of unfortunate events lead me there.
Long story short my oven was on the wrong setting and I had ketchup on it so I didn’t notice until I looked down at it.
RIP
Idk if I could be friends with a reaper main
Idk if I could be friends with an Overwatch player.
>.>
Well too bad you are *angrily hugs*
YOU NEED TO ESCAPE THE TRAP THAT IS OVERWATCH
Same
Same here all I like is that Tracer
You couldn’t be friends with someone who’s basically serving the same role as a tracer player?
Oh please, Reaper is hardly the same as Tracer
Not really. At their core their both meant to be good offensive, close range characters who are meant to pick off enemy’s one by one by using their ability’s to sneak behind them while the rest of the team keeps the focus of everyone else. Their really more of a preference of play style more then anything, and personally I kinda prefer Reeper to Tracer in that sense. Granted I think both their character’s are pretty bland, but I’m the guy who think’s Zen is the funniest character in the game. But that might also be because I like character’s who take things 100% serious and find them funny.
talking shit about one of my mains eh
How am I talking shit about anything. All I said as that personally I don’t care for them as characters. One’s an edgelord, and the other feel’s like its some British Stereotype that I’m not familiar enough with to know for certain. But that’s me. I’m not saying somethings bad because I don’t personally care for it. Tracer’s clearly the poster girl for a reason and the lore behind reaper’s pretty great. It’s just what I find that interesting.
But could you be friends with pro Symmetria mane
Prof that I am the Symmetria mane

Also today marked the Series Finale of Regular Show………..jolly good show….jolly good show….
I stopped watching that furry mess when they went out to space. That was the only show on cartoon network that didn’t cater to children or hipsters. smh.
Oh dang… I haven’t kept up with it in a long time. If I watch it will I understand what’s going on?
You’d need to watch the dome arc and the space arc to really appreciate it
I’ll watch it soon, is it worth?
I cried at the end….
Yeah. At the very least we have Adventure time and The Amazing world of gumball for one more season. And we’ll probably see the team’s next project in a couple of years. Greatness breeds greatness, and they very rarely take breaks for long.
I hope that infinity train gets the contract
I’m a sucker for bespectacled redheads….
Same here. it certainly has some promise, though it’s a hard call. It can certainly pick up the adventure time crowd, though it’s a bit of a risk if it’ll be cannibalized by steven universe.
Everything but Gumball, Adventure Time, and SU now sucks on The CN after they have killed Pokémon from their roster and almost everygood… And replaced it with Teen Titans GO
I remembered when the first episode aired….
Wow, time really did fly lol
this long ass battle http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7ou-518546759 He tried to sweep me but my toxapex was saying NO SIR! keep it pushing. i guess there’s a reason this thing is the most used pokemon in the game
MESS, why are people expecting Pokemon stars anytime soon? the game is just rumor after all and not to mention Sun and moon came out just a few months ago ( even though it feels like ages) i’m not expecting pokemon stars till next year. Get ready for pokemon drought again
My thoughts on the matter anywhere from Feb.-Jun. We should be seeing some info on some type of new game
Because the original rumor said that it was developed side by side with SuMo and regardless if it’s a sequel or third version it’ll be recycling a lot of assets. It’d make sense to launch it on Switch year one if Nintendo is serious about making it a must have console because Pokémon is a system seller. It’d make more sense that the Pokémon drought would be 2018 if 2019 is DPP remakes since they have to start from scratch remaking the Sinnoh region.
aww i missd the troll 🙁
count your blessings
Which one?
Shiny Meowth!! Aw yeah! 214 encounters lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b3e80da32cd0d3a6b8fdef2b051430f87950019fa62a54d8c85ab3b133664b35.jpg
Somebody get me mah wackin’ shovel
Aw come on. Alolan Meowth is actually pretty great. Especiallyn it’s shiny coloration lol
……nope the feline is evil and therefore it must die…
