Pokémon Company CEO and President Tsunekazu Ishihara sat down with Toyo Keizai for an interview about Pokémon GO as well as the upcoming Nintendo Switch console. The most interesting thing to come out of it is what he says about development for the main game series:
そのため、ポケモンをスイッチへ出すとしたら、これまで通りのやり方ではいけない。私たちはポケモン本編以外にも、格闘ゲームの『ポッ拳』やダンジョンRPGの『不思議のダンジョン』などの派生タイトルを作っている。それらの中で、スイッチに適合しやすいものから順番に対応していこうと考えている
Essentially they’re considering ways to bring Pokémon onto the new console, from the main series to spin-offs (Pokkén and Mystery Dungeon are mentioned directly). He also says that they must change the development process that they’ve used up until now.
Definitely could be nod towards rumors about a Pokémon Sun & Moon follow-up title coming to the Switch later this year, but he finishes the interview saying that they have nothing new to announce at this time.
In other news, the Chinese Riddler has re-surfaced and resumed posting about Pokémon goods. He teased fans to guess what 3 mystery Pokémon were hidden in this merchandise set:
‘Pokémon Day’ is on Monday, February 27 and could bring some major Pokémon news with it! Remember… Sun & Moon had their reveal at this time last year! Thank you for the tip Jynx (although she wasn’t part of translation).

So sometimes fans really make something that’s kinda beautiful. This is one of those cases. Is it bad that I kinda want this song to somehow be in the end credits now?
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POT THIS ITS SO GOOD OMG
I ALSO OVERSLEPT LIKE CRAZY TODAY LIKE ITS 3 IN THE AFTERNOON SO IT WAS KINDA FUNNY TO WAKE UP TO THIS

Yea! Give it all hey you might as well see how well you can do, and how to improve for next time
@IntimidatingWurmple:disqus
Hey hey hey! Super important question!
Ask
A certain mon I’m using isn’t banned, but MAY go to ubers during the course of this tournament… what happens if that happens?
Cause I kinda need it on my team
Use it. Rules were already set.
Okay, good
wait whats the ban list?
Just so everyone in the tournament knows, if you lose you are doing TWO battles this first round. One for the winners bracket, AND one in loser’s bracket!!
I repeat, those who lose during the first match will have to fight their opponent in the first round losers bracket!
SHIT I MISSED THE SIGN UPS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TOURNEY AND NOW I WONT GET THE MAWILITE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sorry m8
Don’t worry. You know that people will happily gen one in once their distributed. And regardless of your feeling on it, you know its kinda bs that they would lock Mega Stones to online events that not everyone can participate in.
I’M ONE WITH TEH MEGR BEEDRILLZZZZ
(Personally I’m glad to see less of that mouth head)
Yeah. I honestly don’t have problems genning things I can’t regularly get. Its how I play gen 4 games anyways by cheating in the event items
Maybe in stars there will be a way of getting it? There’s still hope
does anyone have a LeftOvers I can have/borrow?
Currently looking for one myself tbh
oh you can buy one in the battle royal place apparently
Huh
48 bp tho
I seeeeeeeeee
Steal them from Munchlax, first route past the smashable rocks. I have many.

With people and calories!
OOhh!
Now I’m hungry…

OK I want to go there :0
Need a link to watch the latest episode, anybody have one?
Of the Pokemon anime? https://www.watchcartoononline.io/anime/pokemon-sun-moon-english-subbed
Does it have Thursday’s episode?
If that was episode 15 then yes.
It is I just checked the video.
Cheers
Enjoy 🙂
https://youtu.be/MfpQTQ0_z54
skip to 2:12:30 for the Guzma theme. omg its so good
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7UyKn26wIkE
If you are a little lazy ;3
ITS YA BOIIIIII
You can go go at 1:29:30 for Gladion’s theme 😉
BUT LIKE DAMN THIS GAME’S OST IS GOOD
After the disappointment that was Gen 6’s music (don’t get me wrong though, the good ones were REALLY good like Zinnia, Wally, XY Legendary, Route 15 etc) this game’s music being good makes me really happy
my aether president is better than yo boi
fite me
I’m about to , and I’ll kick your ass
What does Lusamine have over him? Tell me, tell me now
She is a 40 year old who’s on the hunt for a rock jellyfish and abuses her children
max fab
I’m goona make a competitive Lusamine team after this tourney
She isn’t even that fabulous
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a3b516079e463261cc338cd7c57dd763ab760428d7024a8f63f40cc6d29ee448.gif
And? Want fabulous, it’s already been done
Not to this level of perfection tho
Eh, Lusamine just disappointed me to be entirely honest. I’ll admit what they did with Guzma wasn’t perfect and they could have utilized it a LOT better, but he’s still my boi
(And I guess Pokémon special will probably make up for it a bit)
Stars version will perfect it all
If they give Lusamine Beauty and Froslass and Guzma Buzzwole, than my life will be complete
Guzma should get Xurkitree but Buzzwole is bug so that makes sense
So why not both?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bKgWm5TNeBA
Come at me
I’M COMMING AT YOU, PREPARE TO DIE!!!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ca6046376484bbea971b3afd8e59a3ae1ed42fa2ed1c07fd8722a53aaa1d5bbf.gif
I already am dead
She has more depth, character development and a better leitmotif ( also when you said “I’ll kick your ass” I read it as something very different and wrong .~.)
that leitmotif is the besttttt
I’m a proud Aether Foundation member mostly for that leitmotif
What development?
At the very end at least
At the very end? All you see is two seconds of it. She’s suddenly like “OH WAIT MY DAUGHTER ISNT TRASH!!”
At least Guzma hasn’t that thing at the end of the game! And he even crosses off his logo!
(Plus, you can fight alongside him in the city battle tree)
Yeah it is, Lusamine is clearly one of the best villain in the saga
ok yeah guys Sun and Moon has the best ost in the series. Didn’t think it could beat both Platinum and B/W but
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=952qhKhnULQ
Here’s an underrated song
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8ADXRIueNPY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37riOeCnnpQ
It’s so lit ??
Actual perfection
also in the perfection list:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arlKOLyItPc
Yeah I’m not denying her either , she belongs there
she’s so precious
Yesh
1) http://cdn.smosh.com/sites/default/files/ftpuploads/bloguploads/laughing-gifs-jonah-jameson.gif
2) Suck it, LOSERmine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq742Ip5Tbo
Honestly, I can’t really even remember Sinnoh themes that well
i remember them just not really alot of the battle themes
I remembers like two cities
That shows how forgettable Sinnoh is :vThank you!!!
(Cough cough Unova cough cough is really the most unique one cough)
y’all are killing me
Y’all are stupid
Bye, we’re not friends anymore
Nothing compared to Colress
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L-6JV-M8oxE
….that’s actually really hard to deny
Exactly
Unova is actually the region I miss the most
Kanto post game for Stars? Where you travel with Lillie and heal Lusamine with all 8 gyms and an E4 with older Gold and/or Silver as champion. Also give Red/Blue more of a role.
yay or nay
FUCK NO I DO NOT WANT TO EXPLORE OVERDONE THE REGUION AGAIN
what about Johto thrown in there too?
Two pieces of shit don’t make each other better
Seraph you’re already going to beat me in the tourney I don’t need more salt coming from you
I’ll keep on going
Lopunny is literally the least deserving pokemon of a mega besides tyranitar and salamence (Cause they were broken). Most people wanted that mon to stay irrelevant
Yeah well Marshadow would’ve been better off as the 3rd legendary. Then they can forget it exists
That happened one time
Besides, at least Marshadow has a unique typing ;3
Normal/Fighting?
Bewear
fuck
Honestly?As much as I used to hate it, I kinda like it now
It would need expansion on each area, not a straight 3D remake.
We need to let the ‘travel to other region’ go. It’s not happening anymore. Each gen they tease us, each gen they disappoint us.
I’d rather travel to an expanded Orre.
If they want us to visit Kanto for the 35226th time, they should revamp it and add Johto too
Again, adding an additional trash region does not fix it
Johto is pretty tho
Pretty shit
Pretty much THE shit because it is perfect and pretty and nostalgic and amazing and lovely and just the best
The “new” evil team
The “story”
Claire exists
It had to resort to slapping another region on to be good
Only like ten of the pokemon besides the legendaries are actually memorable
Gym leaders used more kanto mons than Johto
This is so true…
If so, then improve the region by making it more interesting
Truee
Nay unless they revamp Kanto visually and mechanically
Fun fact, Guzma has a Toxapex, Honchkrow, and Toxicroak
Actual footage of Guzma after leaving Team Skull
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2TV4lupHME
I’ve seen this joke made before XD
What in the world is this?
Foodfight. The best 65 million dollar movie ever made
It really is
Ok
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/83edb3eb4d6039181666128e10e371b8d02b00348a0e55c047da16cde28a07f7.gif
I would really recommend it
I love those movies that are so bad they’re good
Try fantastic fo… oh wait that just flat out sucked
I love these kinds of movies almost more than most new movies coming out today.
Foodfight, The Room, Birdemic etc.
Add fifty shades of grey to this list
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
thats just bad bad not good bad
I mean for the script… the script is something glorious
They’re truly a piece of art ;-;
How to make a good starter type
Make it grass or water type
Make sure it isn’t meganium or Samurott
Or option two
Take a fire type
Make it be in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gen
Starter pokemon i mean
Feraligatr and Empoleon
Empoleon is great, wtf?
no im saying they are great what do you mean
Oooooooh, yeah they’re incredible
I’m implying that the mono water pokemon that can use FIGHTING TYPE MOVES and should CLEARLY BE A FIGHTING TYPE is not good
Are you implying that this Mon isn’t awesome?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d18034c47e0b998db8c346a4edc528c02750b7a0e30a98ac74790cf7243cacf8.gif https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c94d907f0d2c1e8b1905130197cfa0f6dfb5805dd29b06d8f0e28bd45fe1cf1e.gif https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/77657e26bd7841e97858410f1e7d618f8eb8e3f1af6a0985031ff3681d2c7eaa.gif
people just dont like it because it isnt competitively viable
That and Dewott looks perfect
I do wish this it was closer to Dewott but he’s still rad
That’s why I don’t like it, mainly cause DEWOTT IS SO GOOD
Before gen 6 Charizard wasn’t competitive viable either yet people loved it
Didn’t live up to expectations of Dewott
The expectations were set too high honestly :v
Because we (sorry to all I trigger) have never gotten a pokemon with that perfect of a middle stage as Dewott
Yes, there’s another one
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/54052e675827d53c340f1733fd969114fca4ad905f2ba203a4d3cf68e0f3a6de.png
I mean for a starter
Are you sure?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/99ab0db14bd9a1502dbea31d369293af0c05f5cdc6af97a944157f321de15565.png
ok yeah Braixen is perfect. She’s so good that she got into Pokken instead of Delphox
awww I love the Sewaddle line
And the design is bad
Sometimes I look at Oshawott and I just cry… for multiple reasons
Because when you look at it’s angry eyes starring at your soul, you know that you’re already dead D:
No because…
1. SAMUROTT WHY DID YOU GO AD SUCK!?
2. Why is Oshawott, literally the most bubbly pokemon in the anime since I dunno , never actually smile ingame? That really bothered me
Just look how horrible the official art is
https://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/oshawott.jpg
Looks like the poor thing want a hug
Omg it does tho
*hugss*
JUST LET THE EFFING CHILD SMILE
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4ca5d9111877a8e16d806c62d993546a7aa53fdcdb768840656e5c1e7c79e8d8.jpg
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/3b/501Oshawott.png/250px-501Oshawott.png
I think this may have been B2W2 art?
SEE! HE’S ADORABLE HERE
Exactly, way better.
(sigh) he’s filled with potential but GF apparently he didn’t get gfs love..
lemme lay it out for you all
http://static.zerochan.net/Lusamine.full.2039343.jpg
Lusamine best team leader
http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/165/230/661.png
Guzma best boi
http://img03.deviantart.net/fda3/i/2014/221/3/2/mega_lopunny_by_spookie_sweets-d7uhxhb.png
Lopunny best mon
http://s3.zerochan.net/Lugia.240.1601009.jpg
HGSS best games
http://static.zerochan.net/Primarina.full.2046782.jpg
Primarina best starter
http://stuffpoint.com/pokemon/image/185867-pokemon-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-explorers-of-sky.jpg
Explorers of Sky best mystery dungeon
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/21/211Qwilfish.png/250px-211Qwilfish.png
Qwilfish is the best in general
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BcYoGcjCMAAvIcb.jpg
Sinnoh best region also Cynthia best champ
If you disagree you’re blocked /s
I know that what I’m about to say is kinda weird but……. PMDEOS is actually my favorite Pokemon title (second is black and white)
It’s such a good game.
Also I wish they would go back to sprites. The 3D models just don’t look good
And make it look like something like this
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4a128c1aac0fe1128d8e15b9d679e3ee95805dce0fbb8a40e3a64376b86c3648.jpg
oh hell yeah
Disagree with all that shit except Cynthia. We all know Cyrus puts Losermine in her place
I guess its fitting that a robot likes a guy with no emotion 😛
Well, I more feel like he could be ace, which is cool. Plus his theme is lit, his team is lit, his goals are lit, and his resolution is lit. Lusamine is cool, but suffers from not really having well explained goals. I’m not even sure why the AF was helping her after she went mad. That or team Skull for that matter
He honestly does
Lusamine is better than Lysandre and whoever the irrelevant bitch from HGSS was
That might be about it
There was someone in HGSS?
She’s so irrelevant that we can’t even remember her name :v
she didnt have a name in the original games
Literally. Archer? Is that his name? And then the girl underneath him or w/e. HGSS had a shit story. So bad.
well it wasnt really about the story it was the advenntuurrreeeee
Yeah, it’s a great game when you remove the plot
there isnt really a plot at all
That’s true
And a half price adventure
I want them to bring back the pokeathlon
The story is a vital part in an adventure
Its got slightly more story than Red/Blue
Yeah that’s pretty accurate
I only remember petrel cause he stood weird
Haha yeahhh
Like those grunts in the Pokemon generations episode
Yeah they were drunk
I remembered him as that guy who only uses koffing’s
Lol the villains were so lame
neo team rocket sucked
Only reason Archer was good cause he used Houndoom
@starstorm295:disqus YOU READY TO GET BEAT DOWN BY A TEAM SKULL GRUNT!? LETS DO THIS!
You already got your leftovers?
