Gold and Silver are coming to VC!
GAME EXPLAIN JUMP ON THIS NOW
I want an 30 minute to hour long analysis no exceptions. they better get the analysis machine pumping
Stupid DW9. I have been waiting for long time.
At first I was like this new fighting game is the big news… then I saw sun and moon and was blown away!!!!
So I am guessing since this is an alternate universe-according to them-and G & S are being added to the virtual console. A lot of the Alola forms will be from Johto this time.
Nah… I don’t think so
Hoping for Alola Scizor
There’s a mega scizor, there are pokemon without a form or a mega
Oh, the only cool Johto mons are the ones with a Mega or is legendary
I love Solgaleo’s dopey little smiley face
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE NEW MEGAS ON ULTRA SUN/MOON PLEASE
NO! LET THEM DIE!
FUCK THAT NEW MEGAS
MEGA TYPHLOSION AND INFERNAPE
I was super happy to hear about the virtual console release of Gold and Silver but… What about Crystal? What about the third game in the gen 2 series? :c Also all thats missing is gen 4 remakes.
5 DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY I AM SO GASSED NOW
E3 give us a legit trailer pleasse
Guysszzz.
Is ultra like bw2 or platinum/emerald. I couldn’t hear anything since I’m out
B2W2
Personal opinion, they seem more like Platinum and Emerald
Plat/Emeald
Plat/em because it takes place in an alternative dimension and it’s not a sequel
I’m honestly a bit pissed they filled up so much of that with Pokken which no one cares about only to stick a bit of Ultra Sun and Moon at the very end there -.-
Allow it, we’ll hopefully get some more info on E3
Will we? After an announcement there is always silence for like two months
Pokken will be on E3 so why not US/UM too?
Pokken is taking up USUM’s spot
Well I’m gonna have to get me a switch now!
So if this game is gonn be the new Platinum/Emerald. Laaaame
It’s not. It’s B2W2 that’s why they made two games. Alola is so much more lively and vibrant look at it
Just because they made two games doesnt mean its like BW2. BW2 arfe sequels. This is just an alternate story just like EMerald and Plat
No it’s not look at the footage again. It’s completely different. A bunch of new areas not to mention the two new Necrozma forms.
Platinum had new Giratina forms, and Rotom forms. Platinum had areas looking new. Emerald did too.
The main title legendaries didn’t have new forms like this. You know what did? B2W2
Reshiram and Zekrom didnt get new forms Kyurem did.
AND Giratina got a new form
… *face palm* Kyurem FUSED with them. Which is clearly similar to whatever is happening here
Yes it did. Well whatever, Im referring more to story changes, and it just seems like a reboot, you just seem to be looking at visual. Thats ok you will understand later
Platinum changed some areas around (e.g., Twinleaf Town now has snow) and had new formes too (e.g., Giratina Origin Forme).
Not to this extent
No it’s clearly Black2/White2.
Bite your tongue, Platinum and Emerald were awesome.
Wait.. by “unseen Pokemon in Sun and Moon”, could they possibly mean Pokemon not native in the Alola region? Cuz if so.. welp
The third game/sequels also diversify their line up. So expect more variety in USUM.
Oh god what a weird acronym
It’s a step up from S&M.
Omg stop being suckers
It’s new forms
They NEVER add Pokemon to the region’s national dex EVER
And unreleased don’t count because they are part of said dex
You know they’re breaking traditions and the leak said new Pokémon
I would be down if they were pulling a Yo-kai Watch. More bang for your buck.
They’re referring to new forms
No they’re not they said 20 new Pokémon
Where
In the leaks
Pokken will probably have Inci in a DLC
I’m so happy Deci got in 😀
THIS IS THE FIXED ALOLA
THIS IS THE ALOLA I WANTED SO BADLY
I’m disappointed that Pokken is going to be the first pokemon game on the switch

They look fucking beautiful
LUNALA HOLY SHIT
Solgaleo looks like it’s trying so hard to look like a goth, so cute
Lunala is awesome!!!
They look like they burst digivolved.
I Love it
More like infected
I think Lunala just stole my spot as third favorite Pokemon
Maybe even second , possibly even beating Araquanid
So now your top 3 Pokemons are from Alola :p
Yep! Flygon got knocked down
Is that official?
Yes
I got to work
No new Pokemon only forms
Damn it can we stop being wing so fucking negative? He said never before seen pokemon not forms.
Which forms can be classified
If we never saw them before
Unless they’re 100% unseen Pokemon that are not in the dex they’re new
But most likely new forms of existing Pokemon that we never saw aka Necro-Solgaleo and Necro-Lunala
New forms are not new Pokémon. He literally said never before seen pokemon. Leaks said there were new pokemon. There are going to be new pokemon
Suuuuuuuure
Are you calling the creator of the Pokemon games a liar? Because he specifically said ”never before seen Pokemon”
I’m not, I’m calling you guys gullible suckers
Is Black and White Kyurem new Pokemon or a form?
Unless they actually add to the national dex (and that means adding 100% new Pokemon not just say finding old Pokemon like a houndour in the first area then it’s new
But new forms easily and sneakily equal new Pokemon because we never seen them do it, it’s like Zyagard’s 10 and 100% forms we think of them as new Pokemon but it’s still Zygarde
Just don’t get too disappointed if don’t see a new banana slug or whatever
I litterally dropped myna phone
I reaaaaalllyyy hop ULtra sun/moon are legit sequels. The third game thing was always stupid and should stay dead
The third game is still going strong.
It’s a Japanese thing.
They aren’t idk why people think they aren’t
They are*
I just realized the titles of these games may be related to the Ultra Beasts. New Ultra Beasts coming this generation?
Need more Ultras and want a backstory of their origins
You do realize that a reveamped story means Lillie and Lusamine and Guzma may actually get fleshed out right?
The way Necrozma fused with Lunala and Solgaleo is very similar to the way Nihilego fused with Lusamine.. So that’s a thing
