A new Nintendo Direct has been announced for April 12 (3PM PT/6PM ET) with new information about Nintendo Switch and 3DS games. The main focus will be on Arms and Splatoon 2, but we will probably hear about other games as well.

Anyone want to be super optimistic and hope for our first Pokémon Stars tease?!
People complain about Sinnoh’s pacing but god, gen 6’s was so bad. You fight the first gym then you gotta go to campfire town, then go to the mansion that’s covered in trainers, do a worse version of the farcetched puzzle in Johto, get hit on by Shauna, wake up snorlax, go to the mini battle maison, go through a cave, go through a super slow route on a Rhyhorn, another cave, Team Flare (the worst evil team ever, you think literal Pokémon nazis would be at least be threatening), THEN GO THE NEXT TOWN, THEN YOU CAN FIGHT THE GYM.
It sounds worse now that you put it like that…and don’t forget you have to pass through literal pokemon purgatory Lumiose city where you never know where you are and just wander aimlessly through the city
Where is Rotom dex when you need it
It still would’ve been horrible, but yeah, rotom would’ve helped. It was like they were trying to top Castellia city by making it bigger, but just horribly failed in the biggest way possible
That’s not exactly a good comparison because what the actual fuck did gen 6 even do right?
Shoutout to gen 6 for being bad in every way
Meh, it had megas Wich are awesome
Megas were cool but the game was so bad
Lol I remember
– A reviewer that called XY the best game in the franchise
– A top 50 videogame list where XY is in(and no other Pkm game
– And a top 10 Pkm game where XY was no. 1
XD Wtf
Sun and Moon deserved the hype they got. They legit did have one of the best stories and first play throughs but missed on a bunch of things
Like post game
And .. Y”know… more backstory
I think that gen 6 had a writer who wanted to make a nice story with AZ and all that then 10 other writers creating Shauna and stuffing these beautiful legendaries that embody life and death into a boring lab
Don’t forget Tierno
AZ and Megas were the only redeeming part of XY’s story tbh
The backstory is the best part of the story -_-
Like AZ’s story with those beautiful pictures going along with it is one of my favorite Pokémon moments
And the music was perf
I do remember the AZ theme
Best part.
Lmao that’s the only part.
And even that was horribly shoved in..
“Guys let’s take the best parts of past pokemon games but like…mix them together to make a super great game. Here’s our list:”
-Kanto’s viridian forest, snorlax and legendaries
-Johto’s small pokedex
-Sinnoh’s evil team
-Unova’s Castelia city and huge cast of characters
“What could go wrong?”
I believe the phrase is
“What could possibly go wrong?”
If XY did one thing right imo it was overworld and cutscene music
There was an overworld area that was decent?
Overworld music
There was good Overworld music outside of Snowbelle and Cyllage?
There’s a route theme Wich is pretty good
Found it
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W3XEUx4-76Y
Laverre
Anistar
Autumn routes
The first I get
Not fo me, I just remember it cause I used to say it as Anus Tar
Oh boi
Ew what? Cyllage was awful.
I liked it cause it sounded weird af
Some tracks are enjoyable.
Except the gym leader battle theme, it was baaaaad
They somehow did it in Symphonic Evolutions
Laverre actually sounded like a fairy tale and had a good design imo
https://youtu.be/95a6lAjFVvQ
Sounds like it came from an JRPG :0
Wait…
Yeo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykMkly5puvQ&index=10&list=RDaWK7L-XzRcY
Why was this in an X and Y game playlist?
I think it’s because you can change one of the city’s theme to this one.
Also, DP remakes better sound as good as this
:3
They realized the music in XY sucked and had to put in past tracks
XD
Honestlyyyy. Kalos music is forgettable. I can’t think of a single track off the top of my head
Dedemilllie
Dedemillee
Dedennemille…
WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT TOWN WAS CALLED
sounded pretty good
Easter egg
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Full thoughts on the way).
You just need two words to understand how i feel
Remember how you couldn’t go into the Lumiose City boutique until you were stylish enough?
im still not allowed in there lol
Tbh… Sun and Moon are pretty much some of my favorite games because… well… they captured the magic I felt as a kid really well
I like them a lot too,but they could have been a lot better.it’s like every gen takes two step forward,but then it also takes one step backwards
Yeah..
Same. I remember a specific moment. On Akala island when you are about to leave that rat town and enter the route, I felt that feeling I felt back in HGSS seeing every new route and feeling unsure if I was really ready to go but going anyways
I felt it most right before I fought Lana and all throughoutAkala. I felt so eager to explore each nook and cranny of that damn Island
Rat town? Wat
I mean the first town
*X/Y appears on screen* https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9db14bf0f520669ad61c236e111cbd07bc4e166b8c90d059c58224ea824bf467.png
this
Still better then Sun and Moon at least IMO.
wut
You act like I’m joking. I’m being serious. Looking back on it now, I really do think that X&Y were better games. Their still not good games by any means. It has a lot of problems that I fully agree with people. Its just that its less bad then Sun and Moon IMO.
No
Honestly I really liked the idea of seasons in Unova, I wish they would come back. I wasn’t really fond of the idea of certain seasons not being able to access certain areas though
Yessh
I really liked the way Sawsbuck changed by season too, removing them kind of messed that up.
Yeah, although part of me didn’t like that Sawsbuck you catch will change, cause I just wanted winter on my team and not have it change at all. Well at least they don’t change if you put them in the PC

Just realized that White 2 is the only main series Pokémon game I have that I still have my original save file on from when I first bought it. I’ve reset all others besides Moon
I’ve never replayed White, Pearl, Sun, or X
I have my original file on all but Heartgold
Lel I’m on my fourth sun run
Speaking of, I wonder what team to run this time
Marshadow
Mars Hadow
Marsha Doe
Marsh Adowe
Mar Eshedow
Incineroar
^ Best team
I wanna run all Marshadows but I can’t
I already ran Incineroar so I’m running Popplio for sure
WHERE DID ALL THESE ADS COME FROM
I’m honestly not expecting much other than updates and teases of games already announced. E3 is where it’ll be at.
You’re alive 😮 I missed you
??♂️
its Govnah if u cant tell.
That’s not good ….GROSS………..+18…..beware!! http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1491843253520.gif
Now olivia is ruining sceptile. What’s next? When will she stop?
I still love Olivia. Fix her in Stars please
Give her a love interest so she can shut up about being single or she realises that her worth isn’t dependant on a relationship
Either is good with me
So I caught a female Pikipek and loosely named it after Toucannon’s biggest fan :33
Toucannon master race!
…right after staraptor
Shouldn’t of been Normal/Flying
#robbed
Staraptor shoulda been fighting/flying, come at me earthen
Earthen can fuck himself
Staraptor Fighting/Flying
Toucannon Steel or Fire/Flying
Mismagius Ghost/Fairy
Come @me
Toucannon steel/flying with new signature move
Bullet burst. Steel, Power 25, hits 2-5 with a barrage of metal projectiles
Yes
I wanted to call it Bullet Bill (like bill as in beak) but that’s a mario character so..
It’d be a nice reference tho
Before anyone even bothers to argue with the last one
Banshee literally means fairy woman and it’s a type of fairy
(◕ᴥ◕)
OH PISSING OFF EARTHEN TIME
Luxray Electric/Dark
Milotic Water/Fairy
We all want this
At least for the mega
Oh shit, you’ve done it now
Best bird
I always thought Satan was a guy
(◕ᴥ◕)/
It’s called Stella BTW
That’s just stelllar
It’s the star of the show
That’s it I’m storming out
Don’t start
I was goona name my Lunaala “Stellaluna” like the book but now I’m obligated to name every single Cosmog “Nebby”
In my live Dex I have Nebby Jr, Nebby and Nebby III
Pew
I remember the days when I thought Nebby was a Rowlett
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-NjFr8OPPQ
Honestly how does this crystal dome even exist
I can’t wait to ash not make it to the dome
Magic
I want this
This turtonator is fucking trash
Or a Zygarde core :s
Uxie = Pixie
Mesprit = Spirit
Azelf = Elf
Still not fairy type -.-
I want a shiny azelf
And they’re all mono and share the same type anyway
and lets keep it that way, they’re bulky enough leads sashing it up to keep SR up and i would rather keep them weak to knock off
They’re all UU and under tho
doesn’t matter i hate them plenty
Milotic, Cresselia, Lake Guardians,Mega Absolute and Mismagius all should’ve been fairies
Darkrai should be a Ghost
Xerneas and Xurkitree should be Grass
Toucannon should’ve been steel
Staraptor should’ve been fighting
IMO BTW
Agree with the fairies
Agree with Darkrai
Why?
What?
It just learns close combat, that Doesn’t make it fighting.
Staraptor is described as being incredibly aggressive. That’s like the basis for 100% of fighting types
Aggressive =/= fighting.
It doesn’t even look like a fighting type.
I mean…neither does
keldeo
medicham
scrafty
mienshao
bewear
marshadow
phermosa
Xerneas and Xurkitree both have tree themes, learn moves like horn leech and power whip
Steel is just because I’m sick of normal flying tbh
Staraptor has the fighting attitude as well and learns a few more fighting moves
Coulda made its beak made of steel. That way it heating up makes more sense
That too
that’s dumb those pokemon have nuthing to do with faeries
not a ghost
just because they resemble trees don’t make them plants
if anything should’ve been a fire type
again you think that because of Close Combat
I’ll give you a better argument when I come back but
Banshee literally means fucking fairy in gaelic
Banshees are fairies
Mismagius is a banshee
don’t forget its not a banshee TIS A WITCH
Banshees have a similar concept to witches
not really they just shriek and herald doom, which Witches cast spells and incantations which Mismagius does
people are not allowed to have opinions i see
Okay but how can anyone disagree about cresselia.
It looks like it.
It’s based On the moon, which is the basis of fairy type.
Lunala gets a pass because it has two types already and Solgaleo isn’t the obvious fire either
#Cresselia was robbed
i can easily since the whole moon v fairy thing is very much not a real thing unless proven otherwise
and don’t forget it stops nightmares which is a mental thing
It’s proven.
Moonblast.
Moonlight
Clefable
Azumarill(moon rabbit thing)
Cresselia looks more like a fairy type than any other fairy type imo
those are coincidences at best until they rightfully explain a direct correlation between fairies and the moon i don’t believe anything related to the moon is automatically a fairy
Azumarill is a mistake
Yet you make your own headcanons with even less evidence…
…
moves with name moon are fairy.
Pokémon from the moon is fairy.
But..it’s a coincidence.. According to you.
…
Your logic astounds me.
2 moves
1 pokemon
doesn’t mean they all are
It’s still a connection 🙂
barely
Still a stronger connection than half the stuff you come out with
They could’ve done it at least for moonblast since it’s like the embodiment of the moon phases. You would think it would get STAB from a move named after it.
Okay since I’m walking up to meet my friends I can type
Elf, pixie, sprite. All types of fairies or fairy like beings. All three look like fairies. The Fairy plate is literally called the Pixie Plate.
Megabsol has angel themes, Gardevoir, Togekiss and Megaudino all do too and are fairies.
Milotic is a siren/mermaid, if Primarina is a Water/Fairy Milotic should be too. So helps with contrast against Gyarados.
Banshees are literally fairies. Next.
Cresselia has the obvious moon themes, but also has the role of a protector and a guardian, similar to modern depictions of fairies. If Dedenne is a fairy, Cresselia should be. Also helps with the light vs dark theme with Darkrai.
Staraptor is combatitive, learns a decent chunk of fighting moves, and with that mohawk certainly looks like a fighter. Also, reckless referring to its fighting style, its skilled enough to partake in close combat with talons.
Toucannon’s beak heating up was ample opportunity to change it from normal but they didn’t, Steel avoids Fire like Talonflame to keep it unique.
I get that but they’re supposed to represent human emotions which is all mental
and the where are you getting an angel from Mega Absol other then the fur standing up (and Play Rough)
again Milotic is not a siren just a bloody fish that got bootyful
I still see it more Witch like then banshee (maybe Misdreavus maybe)
Again the whole moon thing doesn’t sell the Fairy thing, and Cresselia is not a protector nor a guardian (and everyone knows they slapped on Fairy to Dedenne because it was the time fairies came out)
Well it’s a bird of prey saying so, but just because it leans a chunk of 3 fighting moves doesn’t issue being a full fledged fighting type
Again the beak just isn’t metal enough to be a steel, should’ve been a fire type but i guess not
Toucannon being steel doesn’t make too much sense tbh
Best thing about sumo was how when you beat the e4 again trainers came and challenged you, Cuz that actually makes sense
Wrong
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fed596597477733ccbb644b643622e1b694aedadea92be1d322c0d5d68491702.gif
Can’t disagree with this
Who can tbh
If Barry doesn’t get his Platinum battle animation in 3d we riot
I have a LOT of Competitively bred Sun and Moon mons. Does anyone want em?
I only have 3….. and they were out of boredom
You can change that
its shiny totodile, shiny komala and shiny honedge lol
Coolzzz
YOU DON’T CARE 🙁
I do careeeeeeeee
I would but I’m away out with friends + nothing to give back
Do you have Apricorn balls or a beast ball? If so name what you want
(Note, I have a select three I haven’t bred yet. Passimian because it’s ass, Rowlet because I’m saving him for last and Salandit because it’s suicide inducing
Ooh I’ll check i think I do have a beast ball something
I think its orange minor?
*Orange minior
Okay! What mon would you like?
(You can literally give me anything with the ball)
:3
Ooh umm… I’ll ask later? Bit busy XD
Okay!
Guess what I found at Best Buy? :3
A zelda amiibo
Better
A life size zelda amiibo holding a nintendo switch
seriousness is it a switch?
ITS A SWITCH
OMG CAN WE ADD EACH OTHER
I NEED TI GET HOME AND CORESS IT FIRST
SO U BOUGHT IT? IEEEEEEEE
who wouldn’t
Grey or Neon
Gray because OCD
I’M GETTING MINE LATER THIS WEEK
Ear birds?
A dildo that rolled under the display stands
How did you know where I was
I can hack those best buy cams
God no
Darn
Eggs
https://31.media.tumblr.com/6d89b3957e0f803ab904630ad5003b21/tumblr_inline_nbre0pNPa41rpjmf9.gif
a dead junkie?
WE LITERALLY WALKED INTO BEST BUY THINKING “OH THERES NO WAY THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE BUT MIGHT AS WELL CHECK SINCE WERE OUT” AND THERE IT IS
So it was a dildo
Nintendildo coming 2018
With Amiibo support
Ultron no why stop
What pokemon will you use in Gen 4 remakes?
I wanna use:
Empoleon
Luxray
Floatzel
Toxicroak
Chatot
Mamoswine
Empoleon
Gardevoir
Lopunny
Froslass
Luxray
One other I can’t remember
Oh and Staraptor
Empoleon and Honch are definite
I also wanna try Dusknoir
Ill replace Staraptor with Honch any day
Same
Actually so far it’s
Empoleon
Honckrow
Dusknoir
Toxicroak
(Two other slots)
Somebody help me choose for the other slots, I need balance XD
And maybe a Dragon not named Garchomp
Luxray
Rapidash/Vespiquen
I’m not a Luxray fan
I don’t enjoy Rapidash
And getting Vespiquen in that game is hell
Do you like magmortar
It’s alright…. It looks really weird to me
YANMEGA THAT’S WHAT I FORGOT
Do abomasnow and Rhyperior
I hate rhyperior and Abomasnow is straight trash
Yeah, it’s just hard to add good team mates to your team without type overlap
We’re lucky Earthen isn’t here or you’d just start a flame war
But he is here
F**k
I’ve told him my opinions on it
What about Mamoswine or Tangrowth?
I might actually try Tangrowth! 😀
depending on HMs are back or not lol
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b5ebc8dbe9572faeb9649fa16108f5553e66dba9edb5ce248eea16ec3287d342.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d5ae8157e0d25458672c1fdcd6ece758c06781cfc9540ed9522ab1814324f54e.png
First team is better. I like this tho
Infernape
Drapion
Staraptor
Gastrodon
Electivire
Porygon-Z
Part of me wants to use all the starters though
Infernape for definite, the others might change, I think I want to use Gastrodon or Floatzel. One thing that concerns me is if we’ll have to use HMs again.
So what are the chances that Pokémon is announced in this Direct? Less than 1%?
No chance at all there is no chance, and if there is a pokemon announcement,, I will go back to a skiddo with a eyepatch
yeh
I actually don’t think it would be a huge leap. This is the first Direct since the Switch launch and they need to show people that they are still invested in the 3DS. They could just show a short trailer and say “more information soon”.
Anyone else think Eeveelutions are done for now? Seeing as Extreme Evoboost is known in Japan as ‘Nine Evoli Boost’ or something and counting Eevee and its evolutions that’s nine Eevees altogether
I hope they aren’t cause they haven’t done ghost yet but… well
I’m thinking we might get a last dragon one to round off the special types and keep true to the Japanese name
Then maybe get like a cat that Evolves into the physical types
Yesssh
Ooh what about Mega Eevees
Normal/Ghost
Water/
Electric/
Fire/Ground
Dark/Poison
Psychic/
Grass/
Ice/
Fairy/Bug
Ice Dragon!
oh god no
Oh God yes
No, and I feel that z-moves will be a gen 7 thing only and won’t carry over
Didn’t people say that about Megas
They 99% won’t add any megas or Z-moves gen 8 onwards
Maybe, but megas feel more essential
Idk people in the story actually used Z-Moves whereas like 2 people used Megas in Gen 6
The elite four and the route bosses
Also hau
And Gladion
I OHKO’d his muhfuckin team too quickly to notice
XD He apparently does
His Lucario has Corkscrew crash
Didn’t even know that was a thing. I never use z moves. I used them when we had to and then never did again
Ah
Yeah, but z moves seems very alola specific. Idk how to describe it
Why you hurt me in this time of bliss
please just let them all die, they beaten this horse to death
How can a ground master ask for this when a ground eevee is out there somewhere
after seeing those I don’t want to see what it would be like
yes you do
While I think that they’re adorable, I feel like we have enough Eevees
