  1. You know… I was excited when I first saw this tweet from you guys….

    Then I stopped caring… Because Mega stones can’t be stored in Pokemon bank… They can’t be transferred to the next games… They have virtually no meaning now that I have completed the game and have no intention to go back to Sun, other than to complete my Pokemon Bank Pokedex.

  2. BotW spoiler Eventide Island is actually damn easy lol i expected it to be more of a challenge but it wasn’t that bad at all

  3. Least I can get my dang Mega Heracross now, I’m still majorly pissed that Mega Heracross didn’t get any freaking screen time
    It was shown in the opening of the mega evolution special
    Getting knocked out by Charizard X
    And lastly like 3 seconds during the Magearna movie and they freaking made it use Struggle Bug the worse move ever

  5. Yay, more mega stones. More victims to Mega Audino. These are definietly quite the choice for favorites. LONG POST AHEAD.

    4. Mega Steelix. Design wise mega steelix is the best one up there. I think it look so cool with all the rocks floating around it, and the way its body looks is just awesome. However, competitively it’s just a worse Mega Aggron. It has more weaknesses than Aggron, and a worse movepool. It’s shiny form isnt even that great to me. Anyway, I wish thing got Magnet Pull like I originally thought it would have because it looked like floating metal, and Magnet Pull Mega Steelix would literally be the best counter to all steel types. Oh well I can dream. Oh and small thing, but I wished Mega Steelix kept Red eyes, its what made Reg Steelix more intimidating.

    #3. Mega Heracross. Conversely, design-wise I think it’s the worst one. It’s fat forearms, and fat legs look disproportionate to the rest of the body The front and the back horn are fine, but it’s side horn things are so weird. And what is that red thing above its’ eyes? It looks like it has a red bowl haircut. Competitive-wise it hits like a truck. It’s very situational. It suffers from the same illness as garchomp as it lowers it’s speed to a bad level thus allowing it to be outspeed more pokemon. But unlike Garchomp it’s new 75 speed is very bad. It compensates with decent defenses, and with attacks that feel like sumo wrestler smashes your head between its butt and bricks. My biggest gripe keeping it down is just its design. I mean look at its mouth. It has those lines on the side of its mouth that makes it look like it has food in its mouth.

    #2. Mega Pidgeot. Mega Pidgeot happened after witnessing Raticate make 7 Rattatas brutally beat up all of Pidgeot’s friends. Points for understanding. Anyway Mega Design and Competitive use are both just a bit above average to me. It’s design looks like the Pidgeot I’ve always wanted as a kid, however the fact that its wings stay out like that in battle looks so wrong to me. And Competitive it can leave dents in teams if they dont have SR. But it doesnt have even decent defenses. So a couple hits your done, so you have to choose your times to sweep. Why do I think it’s so cool you may ask? Hurricane Spam. It’s not like Brave Bird spam in the fact that in Brave Bird spam causes Talonflame to hurt itself. Hurricane spam is literally Base 110 Move that hits. Every single Time. As a person who never choose Power over Accuracy this was BEAUTIFUL to me. I can just hit hurricane and not worry about my 80% 30% chance to miss. AND I may even confuse the opponent. Sweeping with Hurricane is so amazing.

    #1. Mega Houndoom. Weird Pick for number one, but these Megas are the interesting/situational megas. First off, (Shiny) Mega Houndoom’s design is just amazing to me. It looks like the Hound from Down Under (and I dont mean Austraila). That if you dont give it a treat, it will engulf you in all the flames of evil. Its design is on par with its counterpart (mega manetric). Competitively, Mega Houndoom has done me so well. First off the first time I seen it a guy named Regi used it, and he made it seem like it was the best thing, so of course I wanted to use it after him. Eventually in I MM’d one, however I was too high on shiny hype to use it that gen. When I finally used it in ORAS, man I regretted not using it earlier. It hits like a Truck. I used it on a sun team, and literally every attack did 50-75% to the opponents. Sure I was slowly killing myself (seriously can we make solar power 1/16 not 1/8), but I was eliminating the opponents. For that, I appreciate Mega Houndoom so much. It’s not my favorite overall, but its easily on a top ten list.

  6. It seems that 4chan was right
    Turns out my scouring on it wasn’t worthless after all, I’ll keep a better watch on it from now on

  8. Well might as well tell the tale of me and my Heracross
    Heracross and me go way way back in the early days of Johto, during the time I was obsessed with 7 Johto Pokemon, Elekid, Donphan, Sentret, Delibird, Gligar, Quagsire and lastly Heracross
    Heracross I just had such a bizarre love for it, I drew it constantly in school and on the tables, I had any video tapes of episodes with Heracross and on my 9th or 11th birthday party I flipped out when I got that Heracross toy with the horn attack action (and openable wings)
    But when the years past I tried my absolute damnedest to catch one but to no avail, the latest I caught one was late platinum but it seemed weaker then my lineup
    HGSS rolled in and I still couldn’t catch it!
    I eventually gave up… Years past and Mega Heracross came out and I finally learned how to be competitive
    But to this day I feel saddened and guilty that not once ever I could catch one early and start a journey with one

  9. It does seems kind of useless that they’re releasing them in such a weird way. Some of them were released in a very exclusive way in which you had to compete in the online competitions. Not that you had to win anything, but you had to make the time to sign up, battle at least 3 people, and then collect your prize when they announced it. I imagine in future games (not the next one necessarily, but in general) they’ll make them more available or maybe even consolidate them so that we don’t need 50 million stones all the time.

  10. Why the actual fuck don’t we have a case option for certain things?
    Like a case for plates, memories, z-crystals, and mega stones? Organizing them is literal torture

  14. Am I disappointed there was no direct this week? You better believe I am……Do I still have hope next week will bring something good? Sure why not. Do I still think there’s a major conspiracy going on with the next game regardless of when it’s announced and released? YES!!!!!

    Reply

      • Nah. Prolly not gonna happen. Even if a direct was gonna happen this weekend it’d have been announced already. they usually give at least a day in advance and I don’t see them doing one on Sunday. Thus they’d have announced it today and also by this time. Which they have not obviously lol

        Reply

    • We still have hope, maybe it’s on the next week 🙂

      Or the next one, or the other.

      Or the next year 🙁

      • am i the only one who thinks Pokemon being announced at E3 isn’t too farfetch’d

        Reply

          • yea but thats the only argument, this is the first e3 opened to the public and imagining it get announced at E3 for the switch it will be one of those e3 highlights

        • Well It could be possible. They’ve never done it before, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Things change and they could do it. I do think they’d want their own platform to announce the next game tho.

    • It has LITERALLY NO POINT OF EXISTENCE
      No updated moves and or stats

      Just a justification to why they imported the trumpgoose

          • They could have simply made new dark-type mons. Also, why isn’t midnight-Lycanroc a Dark-type again?

          • Yeah, I know Dark is Evil-type in Japan, but there’s a bunch of Dark-types that are not remotely evil (e.g: Absol). Also, a lot of them are Dark because they’re nocturnal. Lycanroc is a werewolf. That alone should be enough, but even what you said about being hot blooded matches its dex description.

          • Name some that aren’t evil aside from Absol and maybe Umbreon
            I’ve had this exact same argument and I know the ins and outs and I can say it’s truly the only one without a malicious intention

          • Besides those 2, there’s Greninja, Shiftry and maybe Skuntank too. So, sure, there are not many, but also remember that no pokémon is portrayed as being purely evil. Even Darkrai was a good guy in movie 10 and the nightmares it causes are implied to not be done on purpose. In the end, I think the Dark-type has more to do with having a more ferocious behavior. Which, again, fits Lycanroc’s description.

          • Greninja are still ninjas and by law they are sneaky deceptive assassins
            Shiftry are based on Tengus which are malevolent tricksters
            And Skuntank may not be evil but they have a bad reputation as all skunks carry so it kinda makes sense

            But aside from that nearly all Dark types are wicked, and as for the Darkrai thing it was a fucking movie of course it’s gonna be the misunderstood good guy cliche barf

            I truly want to make my mythical Insatyr a reality, it’s a Dark/Fairy type that lives for disorder and chaos, no misunderstanding, not abused, not just making mischief led astray, it does it because it wants to and it takes great satisfaction in the negative effects of its actions

          • You’re basing your argument on their concept basis, not on the pokémon themselves. Is Greninja wicked or malicious by itself? Acording to its official dex entries, appearances in media and all that, no. Even Darkrai, the only time it was portrayed as evil was in Mystery Dungeon. In the main games, it hides in New Moon Island to avoid giving nightmares to people. You can’t rely on base concept alone since there are Dark-type mons such as Sharpedo, which are Dark-type purely because of their violent behavior. And then, there are other pokémon just as violent which are not Dark-type.
            Another thing, If you think Skuntank can be Dark-type just because it has a bad reputation, why do you think it’s okay that Lycanroc isn’t a Dark-type when it has a much more wicked personality? It provokes foes to attack it. It likes to beat down other mons. To me, that makes it more worthy of the Dark-type than Skuntank. Skuntank is just a stinky animal.

          • Uh yeah I am any Pokemon’s individual temperament and behavior can be totally influenced on its upbringing but the type as a species’s whole can easily have defined traits
            The utmost majority of Dark types are violent, sneaky or overall dangerous which is very much evil in my book

          • But dude, that’s my point. Midnight Lycanroc fits in that description, so why wouldn’t it be Dark-type? That was my initial question, if you remember.

          • Just how is it not, I mean aside from the ice types the rest was at least trying to be unique
            But three whole things all revolve around Dark type reskinning

    • Not gonna lie I actually REALLY like A Rattata and A Raticate. I’m not a fan of their normal forms, but their Alolan forms really do it for me. lol

  17. So I’m doing some research on Jangmo-o
    It learns like nothing fun to use like at all
    If you were to take a level 5 Jangmo-o for a play through you’re just gonna be relying on Tackle until Dragon Tail at 17 and lastly Headbutt for a freaking long time until you hit 35 evolve and get Sky Uppercut
    Sure you can just give it TMs but that kinda takes the fun out of it

    I just such high hopes for this warrior dagon but sadly it’s just garbage

    • I mean you could always breed one and trade the egg over. That way you could at least get Dragon Breath on it.

      Reply

        • Honestly, if you’re not exploiting the game as much as you can, then what’s the point? I don’t see how giving it TMs ruin the fun. That’s what I did to my Jangmo-o (I bred one as soon as I got to the nursery) and I had a lot of fun with it.

          Reply

          • I just try to enforce some kinda feeling of new beginnings
            I mean if I transfer one to Moon with that was blank then it would be a fresh start which I want because if I just give it egg moves I’ll just have a leg up (more so since I’m giving myself a Dragon) but I just enjoy that feeling of working with nothing and building up from ground
            I also considered Sandshrew

  20. Idk about you guys but we have 800+ pokemon at this point. Dexes with 60-75 Pokémon with 20 new forms (megas or regionals) is way more reasonable than 150 every gen. If we had that we could have over 1,000 Pokémon by now. That’s a lot

    Reply

  21. So, is this it? No announcement of a new game? Are they seriously pulling another gap year? This is depressing.

    Reply

    • Could still get an announcement next week. Either way I’d say that we all flew dangerously close to the sun. Once we all think it HAS TO happen during a very strict schedule then that’s when we are gonna put ourselves down. If we hadn’t immediately jumped on the “it has to happen this week” train and just told ourselves that it could happen soon in general then we’d be a lot less pessimistic about the whole thing lol
