The Pokémon Global Link has been updated with several new features and events for players of Pokémon Sun & Moon.
QR Rental Teams
The feature allowing for rental teams to be tested using QR codes has now gone live. These can be assembled and tried by anyone, but are not allowed in official tournaments. Quick and easy way to try new strategies!
Friendly Competitions
Players can now set up custom competitions for friends to participate in online. This allows for different rules and criteria. These can be set to public or private based on player preference. Sounds fun!
Global Mission
A new global mission is active which challenges trainers across the world to trade 1,000,000 Pokémon. Participants will be awarded Festival Coins with the amount dependent on the success or failure of the mission and whether the game is tied to a Global Link account. In addition, players that make 5 trades will be given a Rare Candy. If 2,000,000 cumulative trades are reached everyone will be given a bonus Friend Ball.
2017 International Challenge
A new competition, the 2017 International Challenge, has been announced which will take place next month.
Registration for the 2017 International Challenge February begins February 16, 2017, at 0:00 UTC. The competition goes from Friday, February 24, at 00:00 UTC, until Sunday, February 26, 2017, at 23:59 UTC. Trainers will be limited to 15 battles per day.
Most importantly the participation prize will award players with Mega Stones for Mawile and Beedrill, two items that are not found during regular gameplay in Sun & Moon. The only Pokémon allowed in battle will be ones found in the Alola Pokédex.
5 more hours…..
ok wait a minute… why would I want play rough on drampa, its a special attacker….???
Memes
Sometimes memes ruin everything
you’re a meme
Nicest thing anyone has ever said to me
it was said with love
But also sassCoverage against Dragons and Fighting
You’ve never heard of the dreaded banded Drampa?
what?
So I looked it up and umm

this makes me even more confused
I’m away to play OW and Blue/Sun for a while, play Tunak Tunak Tun fifty times if you need me
hye
Daler Mehndi is a God
I need a evo name for my Snowy Owl Pokemon Snowl
So far only Arctowl or Blizzowl
But I can’t find a word that incorporates owls, ice and mysterious….
Binoculous (binocular + mysterious)
Nomalous (Nomadic + talon + myterious)
Cryptice (cryptic + ice)
Fractowl (fractal + owl)
Crystalon (crystalline + talon)
Tufftic (Tuff + arctic)
Muffloe (muffle + floe)
Athenumb (athena + numb)
Oracowl (oracle + cool + owl)
Wouldn’t recommend Muffloe, sounds very inappropriate in Scottish :3
is it similar to something sexual? 😛
I think the flow part is universally another word for something else
Okay, let’s go with Tuffle (tuff + muffle)
Is the O like the one in snow or the one in owl
I just found the best thing ever:

SAMURAI JACK SEASON 5 PREMIERES MARCH 11 OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just pray it isn’t bad
It’s still being written by Grenndy and we have most of the original cast…..God rest Mako’s soul…
The only thing different is the art style but I have good faith it will be nothing short of spectacular, deep and finally ending an absolutely beautiful series to a rightful end
People are saying that it won’t be bad because it will air in adult swim but idk how it will turn out honestly…
Dead, so what about a Ghost Eyeball Pokemon
Necrocular
The Eye pkm
Ghost
Cursed Body/Frisk HA: hard to implement but it’s called All Seeing where you can view a opponents moves
It is a large ghastly phantasmal Pokemon resembling a human eye, it has a dark purple spherical body similar to an eyelid with with a series of ghostly tails and in the middle is the eye, it’s pale white with bright a red Iris and yellow pupil, and a few veins
“Necrocular live in-between realms, if one stares at you unblinking run it is trying to steal your life force”
Well this one is really easy…
And I made an “All Seeing” ability called omnipotent like a few weeks ago
I think that “omniscient” is a better fitting name.
Omnipotent is having absolute supremacy while omniscient is knowing everything
True, I’ll probably change it to that
Still, earthen’s a bit late to the punch
Well if it ain’t word for word it ain’t plagiarism
Use a thesaurus for all your plagiarism needs
Funny coming from the guy who posts
“That’s similar to my (insert idea here)” and posts it onto other people’s fanmons
Botlit
The luck pokemon
electric/fairy
serene grace/glass smash (when health drops below 50%, this pokemon’s jar breaks and its speed and special attack are doubled) HA: illuminate
This small static wisp wanders back alleyways and garbage dumps in search of the perfect bottle to inhabit. Finding one is said to bring said person immense luck and fortune.
Here’s another:
Cannasm
The glass cannon pokemon
ghost/rock
Flare Boost
20/5/10/230/10/230
This pokemon is so fragile that the impact of a small pebble can cause it to faint. However, it shoots projectiles at the speed of five ninjask.
Coollzzz
I got a cannon-like pokemon too
What’s the typing?
Celestial/Bug
(I made a celestial typing for my fanmons yesteday so)
interesting…what makes it a bug?
It’s quite literally an insectoid cannon :3
(Yes, I had inspiration for this one, and I’m sorta paying tribute to it with this)
You should draw it
I wish I would
It’s based off of something from a now dead game called “Nanovor”
Ever heard of it?
Can’t say I have 😮
Well, it was this kawaii little nutface who inspired this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e62c02eb1856c339484f21bb00fafb441b7fe4216c79c6592680fd30280a7e92.jpg
Aw…it’s like pacman had a baby with scyther
😀
They had several different looking ones, but this inspired one of my mons cause this thing is adorable
Ugh, Everytime I take a look at it’s mouth I feel weird…
But it’s a cute little smush
If you ignore it’s mouth, that’s for sure
😀
The mouth is a cannon, hence why I’m making a bug cannon pokemon
Almost like my Pseudo Legend Luckee which is Dragon/Fairy which have a special aura that invigorates its companions and fills them with optimism
Yeah! I just got the idea of “catching lightning in a bottle” ¯_(ツ)_/¯ A luck dragon would be cool though..
It’s a chi Dragon with all sorts of lucky objects stapled on it
Long green body, a big yellow star on the forehead, rabbit feet, rainbow albatross wings, it’s pupils are #7s, it’s horns point upward like a horseshoe and its tail splay is shaped like a clover
It evolves into Joygon and finally Furyu the names are placeholders
It is really fudging hard to make a name that means dragon and luck mesh organically
Pokemon Uranium’s Luxelong is similar
Don’t care this idea is mine and mine alone
Not exactly, the idea is already done so it’s not just your idea
I honestly don’t care my design is a thousand times more creative then some stupid betailed dragon
it’s design is crap (and all of uranium’s names are horrible)
And Necocular is good?
Besides, they have way better designs than you.
And furthermore, you’re entirely biased to your own design and hate Uranium’s probably for the fact that it isn’t yours
Necocular
cocular
cocul
cock.
NeCOCKular confirmed?
I would name it cockie
Or if it was female
“Cockette”
I just came up with it on the fly, and their designs look extremely fan made and the names suck too none really capture the Pokemon aura
I’m not getting into an argument over some fan game’s Fakemon,
I know, you can’t call a fangames mons crap than brandish how creative yours are though, especially with names like that
My rebuttal you do it better then
I know my ideas are good and solid and that’s all that matters
And I’ll say the same about my ideas, and so can they, so does anyone’s opinion matter?
Were you the one who made a caramel camel or was that fairy or kurusu?
That was Kuru
I didn’t make a camel
(Though I’d honestly probably do something psychic with a camel
Like a wise camel of the sands
Maybe
Depends if it makes sense, because that’s an important part too
That’s true, though at the same time, thinking outside the box can be nice as well. Besides, Buzzwole makes sense?
Buzz swollen since it sucks out power from enemies and it’s freaky anatomy converts the stolen energy into a weird muscle juice which engorges its muscle
Kartana,how does oragami come to life
And that isn’t enough for Buzzwole
Katana as in sword and charta which Latan for paper
And everyone knows origami comes to life have ever seen anything
Okay, but Buzzwole still doesn’t have sufficient explanation
Nihilego?
I just told you it’s a freaking mosquito that sucks out your vitality and uses it for itself, making it more powerful how does that not make sense
And Nihilego is based on a jellyfish more specifically those immortal jellyfish that revert their ages if stressed, and it has aspects of injecting foes with a dangerous neurotoxin which enslaves it’s hosts which is standard jellyfish venom, and it’s rock typing may have to do with its chemical composition as its silvery body is very much Mercury which is poisonous
(Brb I gotta get back to work)
Names are hard
Out of all the names for Pokemon my best is arguably my Normal/Rock Nubian Ibex
Precibex
Precipice and ibex
Eh, it’s alright
I’d like to see you do better
It’s literally meshing two english words together
I’m waiting
Oh, I’m not in the mood, but what I’m trying to say is that it isn’t jesus christ tier my dude
(Not in the mood automatically translates to I can’t) Who honestly cares, naming shit is really hard
But this one works, it’s a mountain goat with giant stone horns and a precipice is a jutting cliff
(Nah, it literally means, I don’t feel like wasting time to name a fucking rock Ibex because Y’know, you’re Earthen and no matter what I say it’s pointless cause you’ll think it’s trash)
So?
The only way to silence me is to prove me wrong
Which people do, and you still don’t shut up than
Not in this department
You argued Rock Slide Golisopod being a proper mon and believe that all legends should be banned
It’s coverage to flying
And Araquanid gets HP ground for electric types, doesn’t mean people run it
Sweet, a global mission thats actually possible, and a good battle competition for some mega stones. Im ready to enter. But which team should I use Lycanroc or Exeggcutor?
…..What… why those
Exeggcutor is silly
Lycanroc is cool
Both are pretty trashy imo
But exeggcutor is a bit worse
Don’t knoc the roc
I love leading with it and countering jokers who try to kill it
Or just set up stealth rock
No Guard Stone Edge is fun
…..I think he means midday, aka the not crap or furry fodder one
-.- every bipedal animal like Pokémon is furry fodder apparently
What is everyone’s deal with furries why bring it up…
If you don’t bother them they don’t bother you
I’m only calling that one that because of Verlisify existing
Sure he’s an asshat but doesn’t mean all furries are awful
Awww? they’re like bees??
???
“If you don’t bother them they don’t bother you” bee’s are pretty much the same.
Seriously I just don’t honestly get why everyone hates furries so damn much
I don’t hate them, I just hate that it literally is the Verlisify mascot
I don’t hate them but I think it’s a bit weird but I believe everyone should entitled to be and do anything as long as they aren’t hurting anyone.
I meant midnight actually
Midday is cooler though
Oh…
Just ditch them, neither are good
How dare you
Don’t get me wrong, they don’t look terrible, but neither is very good
Oh, you were talking competitively…….. Yeah I don’t think they are very good on that regard
And that Nightrock looks like….
Please stop I beg you, don’t ruin a cool looking Mon ;-;
I don’t wanna ruin it
So it’s ruined already
Basically…
Shit…
Lycan
Exeggutor!
Lycanroc!
@starstorm295:disqus I have a group oral presentation to do this week. It’s about some readings we’ve had to do, and all the readings center around body image, normalcy, etc. We have to include a central real-life example to illustrate the theme. I brought up transgenderism, and they all agreed that it would be a great choice ^-^
omg that’s awesome!
Just managed to fit a “Bold and Brash” joke into my homework, I feel good
You: Here ya go, teacher… my homework.
Teacher: Hang on, don’t sit down yet, let me take a look… hmmm…
You: …
Teacher: *writes a huge ‘F’ on the paper* MORE LIKE BELONGS IN THE TRASH
XD
I;m supposed to make a political cartoon, so I made it a newspaper (And being that this is around the civil war I wrote in the corner as an article
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin, “Bold and Brash” or “Belongs in the Trash”
(I’m just gonna memeify everything)
You should be proud for doing that XD
Thank yuuu!

@spectralseraph:disqus I found my special Victini. It’s a brave nature though.. 😛
I’d say we’ll totally reach that goal for the Global Mission. We’re already at 130,000/1,000,000 on the first day. Remember to sign up guys! You can get 4000 FC if we meet it. We also might even get a friendball
I want the damn friend ball
I think we could get to that.

Yeah I’m not feeling this new avatar…
Me either
Yeah I thought this would be a good idea but it doesn’t work well…
When I get to my phone I’ll change back lol
Do it, plague guy was better
i got the gifs

omg yessss I found a cyndaquil in my little brother’s copy of OR!
I thought everyone died, disqus is just dumb >.<
Alright here we go, starting ORAS 😀
Star, literally no one cares what you’re doing right now. If you could please stop spamming that’d be great. kthxbye /s
Oh no
My feeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllings
😛
finally hoooome
time to shove a ink roller into someone’s ass
Would anyone here be interested in trading a US 4 IV Ditto for a 4IV Ditto that’s foreign? Help us both out with MMing?
Lol omg they literally just put a 2D texture here and it looks so fake I love it
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8425dc1a8db4214780e62b222a57be4fd11e32a8a3002eaf7ab3bab137261382.jpg
I knowwww it looked like a backdrop lmao
Looking back at ORAS really makes you appreciate SuMo so much lol
DP remakes better actually be better than platinum.
ORAS failed to achieve that over Emerald IMO.
In a way..still were good games though.
Don’t get me wrong they were good games, I enjoyed playing them, as I do wish every Pokemon game. But looking back on it, it’s saddening that I’d rather play Emerald. After all the hype leading up to Hoenn remakes, I was a little let down TBH.
I hope the DP remakes ARE better…..I really dare I say it….hate DP…….and if I have to go through that again only in 3D I may die….hahaha I hope they make it easier to get through. It feels like such a drag and it’s the only Pokemon game that I’ve taken a whole year to beat. lol
honestly same though
Yeah. The best part of ORAS so far is the original opening from RSE being in the intro
Nah, as I always say, “FPS > Graphics”
If you’re gonna make a beautiful game, at least optimize it for the console its on so you don’t run at freakin’ 6 FPS
Are you talking about Sumo or ORAS?
Is it that hard to tell? ORAS ran at a constant 60 FPS (Or 30, pretty sure it’s 60) While sun dips to 10 fps all the time, it sucks.
???? I never see frame drops in Sun and Moon. And I don’t play on the New3DS either
It happens a lot during battle. Just try to fight a wild golbat for instance
Well it did in ORAS too
In hordes sometimes. But not as a frequently.
Not really. In fact it was crisp, clean, and only dropped (rarely) in hordes if the horde pokemon had a high Polygon count
star I love S/M but double battles are painfully laggy you cant not notice it
Am I dumb? I seriously didn’t notice .-.
5 FPS sometimes, it isnt that hard to notice that, it sticks out like a sore thumb
I didn’t really realize how bad it was until I went back into ORAS and looked at a pokemon in the pc and it looked like it was on speed, look at any flying pokemon and you’ll see
I noticed the day i got it, being a FPS freak I hated it xD
Archeops is biggest example
I love your new profile picture
😀
Heyyyy so where is Budew in ORAS?
Its only available via breeding one
Oh that’s right Roselia was in gen 3, not Budew.
well it’s official Wii U has ended production globally
Yay! 😀
Hail sithis
For my fangame, it looks like both the professor and gym guide will be significant characters XD
