This I’m seriously excited for. I’ve played the older version of Crystal, but never G/S. Anyways, speaking on US/UM; I feel more coming at E3. Entirely running on EuroGamer’s creditability and streak of being correct; I fully believe these games might see an additional release on the Switch. It looks like the 3DS is struggling to run it. Yet, somehow, it stays beautiful.
but why 3ds tho
Its like a mix of

What’s funny is, to this day, I still have my Gold copy since 17 years ago. But I’ll play the VC version ’cause wynaut.
Why 3 separate articles?
(Shrugs) Honestly it would be easier to have only one article
I literally cannot express how much I sobbed when this came without warning at the end of the Direct. These two games were my childhood. Gen II has been, and always will be, my favorite games in the series.
This does beg the question though….Why is Crystal not included?
It is known that Crystal had the Celebi/GS Ball event that was never officially released…..
Could this potentially mean they may release Crystal at some point, with a GS Ball event download?! COULD WE ACTUALLY SR FOR A LEGITIMATE SHINY CELEBI FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRANCHISE?!?!
For me it just made me realize I wasted 40 bucks buying the cartridge version last year
http://i.imgur.com/itXWzkU.png?1
basically
It wouldn’t make sense to release them after the remakes
??? THATS WHAT THEY DID IN GEN 4 THO
What if they’re going all out for gen 4 remakes, make them Switch exclusive ffs would be unreal
No it wasn’t? It was DP then Plat then HGSS
oops i mean gen 3
Two sequels? You know what that means!
…
…
We’ll have to wait until 2019/2020 for gen 4 remakes
OMGGGG (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6cb1d3ccc87574c5941ac0ae553dfc1a32dbd0075b4438c2600c121b0ba23f35.jpg
YEEEE
PRAISE ARCEUS HOLY SHIT
They took it off
So? Screenshot never goes away
Yea but what if it was a mistake and not a leak
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8a2cef293ab6d7fe336c364fb59b7facb22833ddab0b5109116ffe53ac2c88e.gif
nonono
Idk I don’t wanna get my hopes up and be disappointed again
Ehh there’s a image in the earlier article posted by someone of the PC about to use a Z-move in HD graphics. This is presumably for the Switch port
So now Gen 7 is SMUSUM
or Ultra S&M ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Two unknow skus for the switch popped up on the GameStop
skus?
It’s the product number for a game
I don’t care what anyone says, this Direct has me hyped even more than the Sun and Moon reveal. Pokken Tournament DX is a day one purchase, Gold and Silver will be played a lot by me for shiny hunting, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will get MUCH more playtime than the previous ones (probably). I just think this deserves lots of positivity.
I need to get a lvl.100 before November then! Primarina I’m coming back to you! (My highest level Pokemon lvl.71)
September 13, 2008
Next year Platinum will be 10 years old
Nyrarghhgghhhh if I wanted to play GS I’d just boot up the Emulator
My teams are usually the same
Typhlosion/Feraligatr
Donphan
Ursaring
Crobat
Piloswine
And as much as I want Heracross fat chance of me getting one to actually drop I’ve never once had one work since it’s a specific tree not any
Look it up online like I did then take patience for it
It doesn’t work that way, it’s random for every freaking game,
Then they changed that feature in HGSS cause every site I went to was correct on the right tree
Well this fucking ain’t HGSS is it
Well same region older times
Nope
OH AND I GOTTA EITHER PICK DONPHAN OR URSARING
But you cant transfer shinies and shit to Bank on an emulator
True, but I think I will beat Yellow first before moving to Silver
Like I care for shinies,
And they’re worthless if not EV and IV bred
Just wasted boxes
http://i.imgur.com/hydT8ZW.jpg
still salty no dp remakes
Me no care my mood was gloomy this morning and now I’m bursting with Vigor!
They’re coming, one day.
New Lillie content tho
Man……I really hope USUM are worth buying…….I’ve never really liked the idea of 3rd version as I’d hoped refer a brand new story. They can call it an alternative history, but if it’s just reg SM with Necrozma being shoehorned in then that’s kind of disappointing. Them adding walking Pokemon or more mons to the Dex isn’t really enough for me to get crazy excited. Which is sad for me. If they were just gonna do SM again with only minor changes then it should have just been on the Switch. At least that way there’s SOME value in playing again……..*sigh*….I guess at this point it’s too early to tell tho. Maybe something will strike me as super cool about the new games
Oh no… What if we’ll have pikachu as the starter? In one shot we can see one of the protagonists with the three starters near him. What if his the rival (like May in RS) and he took all of the starters before you arrived in the region? And you’ll have to take a pikachu (or maybe a pichu) ? They show a lot of pikachu in this trailer, that could be on purpose… Maybe in one version you start with a pikachu (that can evolve) and in the other one with a Rockruff?
god no
No they wouldn’t do that GF makes dumb mistakes, but that is way to stupid to make for them
Forcing everyone to play with a surfing mouse, elite mentality by GF
Imagine Earthen’s reaction
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/316f352abb4e8e90057d52d5ad5b9823d2f9691c4e227e3c81b9bee3c345b73f.gif
That his reaction
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7525deb33c303e3ec957e90912e83d8df7059a90580e45581db81e7802646a48.gif
I would box it at that stage then
You don’t like Alolan Raichu?
Not in particular I think it was neat at first then I looked and thought… What is this?
I like it mainly for the desing. It’s so cute! And it has a Pancake theme going on that I just love. I also love the Blue eyes!
I think its cute but sad that it some how became Psychic and not something like Fairy
Because then Earthen would implode
Yeah, it could be fairy, but it would be too diffrent from puka. And it works as a Psychic type.
Lol I like how people are speaking about whatever they want across all three articles
When ur starter has more emotion then you https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b5d6fb5d13e4b8252a78ff05daebb0cf6882f4adcdb17bb086e40ea2daa56bb2.png
Tbh I think that’s a rare occasion where the smile fits XD
Theory:
Ultra-Lunala is Ice-type, and Ultra-Solgaleo us Fire-type. Reasoning is Necrozma unleashed their elements from then or some bs
Mostly because holy fuck Ultra-Lunala looks like it’s made of Ice
We match
Yassss
You stole my profile picture I was goona use
I’d rather say Lunala Ice/Flying or Ice/Dark and Solgaleo Fire/Electric or Fire/Dark
Looking edgy =/= Dark
Lunala should = be dark
1) Not how that works
2) Not really? Dark-type represents evil and things seen as evil. Actual darkness is represented by the Ghost-type: example, Shadow Ball, Shadow Punch, etc
Yeahhh maybe Dark wasnt the best type name
Tbf it must be hard to pick anything other than ‘Evil’
1 I was joking
2 But she looks evil with that black Illuminati on her head
1) It was a = bad joke
2) That’s totally subjective tbh
And menacing =/= evil
1 I know
2 Maybe…
Not pokemon related, but the E3 spotlight is only a half hour long, and that’s like 15-18 minutes less than usual. :/
You’re joking
I wish I was.
I think it’s kind of understandable? Arms is coming out before or around E3 iirc so it probably won’t get much focus if any, Spla2n will probably get focus, and at this stage with USUM I think we’ll just get some into but not that much
But this is a very, very imporant E3 for Nintendo. They have Odyssey, FE Warriors, and Xenoblade 2 to cover at the minimum. Covering those alone will take like 20 minutes, and that doesn’t leave much room for whatever I’m forgetting and new announcements. I could be wrong and they could cram in a bunch of stuff, but 30 minutes sounds way too short. If anything I would think it would be longer.
Tru, I just hope they won’t try and stick too much in then :/
Forgot about half of those 😮
Plus they said they’re focusing on Odyssey, so presumably they’re going to dedicate a lot of time to that. They’re cutting it close, that’s for sure.
Not to mention Mario+Rabbids, I forgot about that. That leaves room for like 1 teaser announcement. :/
If that gets precedence over Pokémon I’ll be so fucking
mildly annoyed
They might show some things in the Tree house (or whatever it is) stream after tho?
That’s a possibility, like USUM stuff or other 3DS announcements, but most of the major stuff will be in the spotlight.
Wouldn’t be surprised if USUM is in tree house now that I think of it, we’ve already seen game play of it and at this point I doubt we’ll get any super big news except details on the new Lunala and Solgaleo ‘forms’
Or new Mons if we are lucky
So what starter are y’all getting for Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Gold/Silver?
For USUM, I’m getting Litten because I’m curious to see how it’s like using one in-game, I’ve already used Rowlet and Popplio before, so it should be interesting using Litten.
Also, for GS, I’m thinking doing Totodile because Feraligatr was the starter I had 17 years ago when I played my Gold copy.
Too early to tell TBH
Rowlet so I can use Mareanie
also i might not get GS but if I do then I’m going with Cyndaquil
M A R E A N I E ???????????
You’re gonna evolve Litten, right?
Why wouldn’t he?
He could be one of the Incin haters
You make them sound like a cult
If someone wasn’t going to use Inciny they’d either say they’d everstone it or just not pick Litten
Yep, I really have nothing against Inciniroar
Don’t think I’ll get GS but probably Meganium i guess?
USUM unless the starters get new stuff I’ll be ditching them for other Pokémon
Litten all the way,
And I’m conflicted up until now I always picked Cyndaquil but Totodile’s more savage and physical oriented playstyle appeals to me
Then use Totodile then? Using the same Pokémon over and over is bound to get boring
I only use what I like
Do you think I’ll just get a Jumpluff or a stupid Yanma
It’s bad enough I can’t get both Donphan and Ursaring in the same game, but I truly want a Heracross and they’ve never dropped for me
They should’ve made Crystal that way it gets better stuff earlier
Experiment and then you’ll like more stuff
Feh
Johto’s dex is pretty weak
I only like a handful of stuff
Then experiment and possibly learn to like more things
Do you honestly think I’d enjoy Sunflora, Mantine or Girafarig?
It’s gonna be
Feraligatr
Heracross
Quagsire
Ursaring
Sudowoodo
Crobat
Hitmontop
Piloswine
Steelix
Tyranitar (which you can’t even get til post)
At least you like my Fav Steel type
There’s like only a few of them that aren’t terrible
And good luck getting one to evolve
I’m so thankful for HGSS.
You can your hands on a Larvitar as early as the sixth Gym. I’m currently using one in my Kanto journey.
how?
Safari Zone!
I love HGSS.
Safari Zone this also goes for Murkrow, Houndour, Misdreavus, and quite a few others…. Except Sneasel!!!
ummm Ampharos?
Sudowoodo
It’s only good for a while
Every Pokémon can be good in game (with obvious exceptions)
Hate that stupid thing
I HATE YOUR FACE TAKE IT BACK https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/96574e1290ad8a8fa123d8a1224acf0bf27e6f99189e0b82da77a1210555e8cb.gif
*Flips you off*
YOURE JUST JEALOUS

I’m as jealous as it’s easy to KO it with Ground attacks
Sneasel?!
Gross,
Same
Female Poplio/Rowlet
Rowlet for USUM, Cyndaquil for GS, for the exact reasons you listed.
I think I may go with Poplio this time
Sticking with Popplio again I just love them
Damn this is going to be a great year for us. It’s already had a great start with the Switch and BOTW, plus many more Switch games are on the horizon. On top of that, we now have Pokemon games too in November, as well as GS VC games to anticipate in September.
What Pokémon do you guys want to get Z-Moves? Keeping it to Gen 1 and 7 Pokémon rn because that’s all we know get them
Solgaleo and Lunala pleeeease
Mimikyu looks like he got a new one in the trailer
It’s probably the totem Mimikyu
New form of Mimikyu should happen!
It’s completely changed location and seems to be actually attacking whatever it’s going for
Or it’s just a cutscene
Something provoked it
What if Necrozma dust irradiated with its wild behavior is being sucked into the Alola Region and is infection Pokemon
But we don’t know if Necrozma dust does jack shit
And Z-Move makes sense: Mimikyu is popular asf
Popular schmopular
I’m just looking at the hard evidence, Necrozma being the center of this
It’s not hard evidence tho
All we know is that Necrozma has shit to do with Solgaleo and Lunala
For all we know it shows up near the end with no foreshadowing
Lycanroc
Ewe
Ehh, i couldn’t find what ewe means
It’s just a corruption of ‘eww’, but I’d does also mean female sheep
I thought you liked Lycanroc e-e
I know it’s just a joke about how popular they are XD
If they’re popular then GF are succeeding at making them popular
Komala/his evo (Yes, he could get an evo)
Oh they will I guarantee it
But hmm maybe Kanto Starters, Togedemaru, Lycanroc, and Mimikyu
Doubt Kanto starters, they have Megas
My Pokemon Stars for Ultra Moon unless we got new pokemon/alolans

http://static.zerochan.net/Komala.full.2008968.jpg
Ngl Deci and Maro look so out of place XD
Ehh, Deci legs in this art are weird
Komala :3
My team will not change slightly
Incineroar
Lycanroc
Crabomniable
Mudsdale
Golispod
Kommo-o
I’m extremely dissatisfied with the dex
new pokemon could fix thattt
more dark and ice types and maybe…
Ground Fighting?
Hmmmmm
I’m the only one not falling for the lies, I don’t believe that we won’t be getting new Pokemon
But new forms of some existing
I’m fairly confident that this Necrozma fusion isn’t what it seems
THEY LITERALLY SAID NEVER BEFORE SEEN POKEMON
Which could easily mean forms
Have we seen Necro Solgaleo? No
Is it a new Pokemon or a new form?
New form
Unless we see 110% new Pokemon and not new forms or regional variants they’re not new
new regional variants are basically new pokemon though lol
Dey ain’t they’re reskins and you know it
You don’t know the meaning of the world lol
Reskin means they change the appearance and nothing else
The stats didn’t change drastically but type, ability, moves all did
Still the same Pokemon with a different look
Sounds like a reskin to me
That’s not what a reskin means. It’s a form of it, not a reskin. If you’re going to be a whiny child at least whine correctly
It’s still an existing Pokemon to me,
Because it is an existing Pokémon, just not a reskin
And why do you always do that comma bullshit it looks dumb
Who freaking cares
And as for the comma I don’t know why it does that
if its got new moves and new types how is it a reskin
Is it still a Sandlash or a Muk or a entirely new Pokemon?
its both silly goose
Not to me
It looks similar is a assumption for his answer and stats didn’t grow they were altered
not really lol
How would you feel if some of the rumors came true (i.e. a Water type Alolan Arcanine, a Fighting type Arbok, etc.)
I would murder the nearest living thing
Why would you just want to use the same team again? That sounds boring asf
Like hell even if you do stuff like switch Crabby and Dale with Bewear and Pallo and then use the opposite Lycan
I did that in moon
Then why not experiment or like do a fusion of your two teams or something
No, this is the worst region next to Hoenn
You don’t like tropical places I guess
I like things rough cold and bitter just like my soul
Because you refuse to try new things
Why bother if I’m already dead set on hating them
I’m NEVER gonna use a Tsareena or a Rimbombee or none of those god awful Alolan forms
This region sucked so hard
it was a good region
Not for me
Barely anything I like and the stuff I do is crap
Because your dumb assistant hatred don’t need to exist boy
Well I’ve been angry the moment I woke up three days ago
I guess my team will look like this
