I’m really excited to get Gold and Silver for Virtual Console as I never owned them for the Game Boy. I had Crystal though. Can’t wait. Pretty stoked. Also excited for US/UM.
Friendly reminder that Misdreavus, Murkrow, Stunky and Glameow were all absent in Platinum so I guess it’s a cash grab guys now
Forcing me to buy the inferior DP, ugh.

Building off my last comment, I hope the walking animations for each Pokemon are put to use in USUM. That would redeem every negative observation I’ve seen so far.
I honestly doubt that’ll happen. Maybe when Pokemon comes to the Switch.
Why were they in SM then? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Wouldn’t they redo the models when they make the move to the Switch?
Why were the walking sprites in BW2? It’d be awesome to see, I just have my doubts. Maybe they were testing it, but due to 3DS limitations they couldn’t implement it as they wanted.
for the entra link and because they were cut at the last minute. It had basically nothing to do with system limitations
Only theorizing.
Sad thing is the minute we see walking Pokémon or any other popular feature literally at least half the people complaining will suddenly be praising the game to hell and back
Maybe because opinions change?
I’m not saying opinions don’t change (I used to hate Incineroar) it’s just the hypocrisy of people saying all this stuff until we see more of the game
If it comes out and it’s a total copy cash grab yeah be mad you’re entitled to it
But we really know Jack shit about it rn
So from what i can tell the main reasons why people are hating on these games are :
a) not for switch
Which is sorta stupid considering it’s the first year of tge switch and Nintendo did release the new 3ds
b) not sinnoh/sequels
Which I agree with.
c) unclear as to what they are.
If they are third versions then maybe highlight the new features first. Make it clear what alternate story is. I’m confused if we are gonna get new Pokemon or not.
I think they made it perfectly clear though. Necrozma is playing a role, new totems and Z moves were hinted at, they outright said it’s an alternate take on the story of Sun and Moon. It’s an enhanced version.
This was a terrible reveal “trailer”
I wanna know what they were thinking.
“Ok ok so like..we will show Pokken for 5 minutes… then 20 seconds of a game that isnt stars or DPPt. AND WE’LL EXPLAIN NOTHING HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH WE GON BE MILLIONAIRS
This is Stars. Just it’s coming out on 3DS, not Switch.
And its two games for literally no reason.
Whats the point?
Lol no reason. The reason has been explained to you numerous times and you refuse to accept it. Why does 2 games bother you so much? Both games are going to have the same enhanced story. The Pokemon featured are going to be different lol.
https://68.media.tumblr.com/398edfea0908677c6e4c1c0675c713f6/tumblr_nqf9qxACce1qcnz4oo1_540.gif
There. Is. No. Reason. For. It. It’s literally a cash grab. Face it, people buy both versions.
Its an enhanced port except nothing is enhanced. Its on the 3DS so the tech is the exact same. God damn I dont even hate these games. They are just so pointless it baffles me Game Freak thought that this reveal would be a good idea.
Absolutely nothing you said made sense. Nothing.
No reason for it. Yet you just stated the reason in your very next sentence. People buy both versions, exactly! 2 versions has been proven to sell more, because there are those people that go and buy both.
“It’s an enhanced port except nothing is enhanced.”
– Did you watch the same trailer I did? Necrozma is playing a role in the story, Lycanroc is hinted at being a totem, new potential Z moves. This is literally what Emerald and Platinum did.
“It’s on the 3DS so the tech is the exact same.”
– So Emerald and Platinum weren’t enhanced versions? By this logic, they aren’t.
I feel like I’m being too harsh, but your responses are mind boggling :S
Emerald and Platinum arent even relevant why do you keep bringing it up? We are post B2W2 at this point. Third versions that arent a Z version are a hard sell so the fact that we get nothing (Necrozma and totems woooooooaaahh gotta drop 40 bucks on this) is pathetic.
Making two versions for an enhanced port a year after release is anti-consumer. Simple as that.
Emerald and Platinum are relevant because they are the same concept as these games LOLOLOL.
No theyre not. Pokemon can do sequels now and the gaming land landscape has changed. Doing third versions split into two games is anti consumer. If you want two games, make them sequels.
They are the same concept. What you just said is what you want them to be. They are all enhanced versions.
???? Do you WANT to be sold two of the identical game?
That is LITERALLY what Pokemon has done for over 20 years LMFAO. I’m not being forced to buy both! xD
but now youre buying it 4 times??
??????
tbh, the two versions of each game (Red blue, etc. etc.) have always been the same game except slight changes because of legendary and exclusive Pokemon and what not.
So to get mad at this is a bit of a stretch considering Pokemon’s history
im sorry for butting in but isn’t that literally what Pokemon has been doing since the very beginning? two versions tend to sell more, and give an actual incentive to trade…
I can tolerate it when they are new games like BW/B2W2 but two “enhanced” ports? Youre buying it 4 times now?
who said i’m buying it four times. most people just buy one version, and we barely know if its gonna be an enhanced port or more than that. your logic actually baffles me lol
The ORAS teaser was more informative tbh.
Seriously. It amazes me that the ORAS trailer is being used as a positive example for revealing a game. I would take some box art with intriguing legendaries where we actually understand exactly what it is.
That’s different.
It’s ruby Sapphire but in 3d. And people were begging for hoenn at that time
I agree.
I was so excited then i got disappointed when i saw pokken, then hyped again,then just confused as too what it was.
There shouldnt be confusion on if its a sequel or third version
Exactly. It’s one of those three reasons or all three. You can never win with some people in this fandom, I tell you. I for one am excited about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
I thought it was pretty clear that it looks to me more like a sequel because of the route scene where it looks similar yet different like time passed but *shrugs*
Regardless if it is or isn’t, we don’t know yet so there’s not use arguing about all of this until we truly know.
OMG YOUR BACK. I MISSED YOU PERCYYYY
Aww thanks <3
I just decided to see what the jungle is up to with this announcement, don't know how much I'll be on because life and finishing up college 🙂
yup just great to see you.
I just realised how Genius your name is.
Even I don’t know of its genius I guess xD
I just use my alias and my fav Pokemon
Hey percyyyyyyy
EARLOBES
Earlobes?
I dunno I’m posting something not controversial
Well, I think they are controversial!
I got a zit under mine, it’s driving me nuts
….(?)
I wonder if they’ll improve the Zygarde stuff at all?
Oh god please
If they don’t it’s something I’ll probs criticise forever
Like, either build it properly now or remove it completely and put something good in its place. Just have us find a completed cube for the latter option.
Tbh I just want them to give Zygarde Complete better stats
Just give it 720 so it’s as strong as Arceus and put its new 12ish points into Sp.Attack or Speed
I want it to have a reason for being other than some scientists from Kalos are on holiday.
I think they were trying to imply it’d there because Ultra Beasts and what Aether is doing? But it’s poorly implied if it’s being implied at all
It’s barely there and frankly there is no consequence to not collecting it so it has no impact on the rest of the game whatsoever.
no they wont whats a zygarde
It’s that squishy green thing than becomes hexagons and stuff.
Please let it be more than a fetch quest please
Some proper story elements would be nice. Heck link it to the Ultra Beasts somehow if you can just do something better with it GameFreak.
Tbh even if Zygarde got a completely separate but good sub plot I’d be down
Or something like that for the post game, it has so much potential
Yes, it would be better than, ‘hey look, here’s a thing for you to collect every now and then for no particular reason’.
I saw a post speculating that Necrozma is using Solgaleo/Lunala as a light source to amplify it’s power since it’s a prism. That would be an interesting concept. A parasitic legendary.
I was going for a concept of a Necrozma infection
Tbh that sounds really cool and makes sense 😮
I’m thinking it’ll probably more of a true symbiote though, seeing as it probably also powers them up
I’m excited either way!
I can just imagine being powered up for too long could harm the host. There’s no proof of that, but it would be an interesting plot point if they’re being forced into their radiant sun/full moon phases.
What if Necrozma forces them into their phases to get back to Ultra Space? In game they only go into their phases when they’re using their signature attacks, opening a portal, and stabilising ultra Space for non-natives (at least I think that’s what the legend was doing when it couldn’t move in Ultra Space, because you and Lillie don’t start to blink in and out of existence until after it has to move)
Ok going out on a limb
You can put chunks of Necrozma (Ultra Shards) into your Z-Ring and specific Pokemon can be infused with Necrozma energy causing them to be enveloped with Ultra Armor
Solgaleo and Lunala
Lycanroc
Togedemaru
Mimikyu
Actually makes sense. Probably Ultra Beasts too. And Pikachu.
Probs just the legends
Totems too?
I just imagined Lycanroc with long black spikes
As cool as that would be, it would be hard to implement yet another feature in the next gen. They already dropped megas like a bad habit, I can’t see them somehow balancing megas, z moves, ultra shards, etc. all in the next gen. They already cant do it in this gen.
Actually tbh I think Megas were handled quite well in the post game of SuMo, with a lot of trainers incorporating it into the battle tree
Yeah but saving it for post game (while allowing space for z moves) made it feel like an afterthought, plus no new ones just feels like the whole inclusion was obligatory.
I think there should just be one mega stone that any Pokemon capable of mega evolution can utilize. You can only use one in battle anyway, and it would free up tons of bag space, so it’s quite practical.
Could be an interesting way of making Totems harder
But keep in mind the pieces of Necrozma on Solgaleo and Lunala appear to be the same size as when they’re together as Necrozma
Doubt it tbh because Mimikyu us seen extending its arms and attacking, implying that cutscene is a totem opening cutscene or a Z-Move
I said Totem and you said it wasn’t because of the location
Never said it couldn’t be a totem
Said it wasn’t guaranteed a totem and that i personally don’t think it is one, but I still find it more likely than the Necrozma Armour due to how big Necrozma is compared to Mimikyu
Z-Moves have a special background, that background didn’t seem like one
Idk it’s a dark forest area and I think imo that’d fit it perfectly
Or maybe they don’t use a special background this time and just use the background you’re currently in
I’d like that tbh
Hey Earthen, do you agree that’s what the weird crystal at the end was?
That’s where I got the idea from stupid
I rewatched that trailer like 30 times to soak up everything
And it was black crystally shard
It has to be either a broken piece of it….or a baby
The shard itself is more Creamy-beige: the Z-Ring is black tho
I agree, 100 percent
I REFUSE to believe this will be a bad game
Maybe at the beginning instead of Tapu Koko saving everyone. Necrozma saves them. And since Koko doesnt give the crystal, Necrozma break off a piece of himself to share.
Taking ‘there’s enough of me to go around’ too seriously :p
Further powering-up Mimikyu is the worst thing they could do. I sincerely hope you’re wrong on that front.
It’s honestly probably a Z move its getting
So I find it interesting that GF was still able to baffle us with yet another change to the formula. For so long it was two games + a third years later.
Then Gen V gave us sequels, something unprecedented in pokemon.
People thought gen VI would be getting Z or X2Y2, we got neither–further changing the formula.
Gen VII showed up instead and now instead of sequels or a third game, we have an alternate story. I’m not sure what else they could do in the future besides going back to a third game to surprise fans again.
BUT ANYWAYS, KEEP THE HYPE GOING! This should be just like last night– speculative, hyped, and energetic. We still know sooooo little. We know more than last night, but the door is wide open for speculation.
I think it’s going to be a third version that serves as a sort of sequel in a sense? As in well get more character development and stuff
It could take place in the distant Future or a time Long past.
Yeah, we have no idea! 🙂
Let’s hope It’s future
I think it’s a hybrid between a third version and a sequel, and that’s cool
Tbh I see this as being a happy medium between Platinum and BW2 but on a game I adored
Honestly this might end up becoming a favorite of mine
I just need more info
I’m sorta calming down and slightly more levelheaded
I just harbor intense dislike for Sun and Moon and they better fix it up
You oughta!
I want it to be good but all I see is gamefreak seeing what shit they can get away with. This trailer was just fucking awful.
So I don’t know what to think honestly. I love the idea but a little scared that the games are gonna be too similar to Sun and Moon. But I also have a lot of confidence that GF wouldn’t just copy and paste the games.
Anyways, REALLY hoping for an expanded post game. Sun and Moon got boring real quick, haven’t played the games in forever because of the lack of things to do after the main story. Give me some umph to the story and give me second region, battle frontier or gyms to battle in the post game and I’ll be happy.
Remember, Emerald and Platinum were copy pasted for the most part and this already looks different
yup
Does anyone know if the Pikachu based area is an area already in the games or not?
I don’t think so.
no it’s not. It looks like a Pikachu island or something.
With an Alolan Raichu Totem!
That would be so cool!!
Right?
What if Ultra Sun and Moon were Ultra Hard? Imagine 8 gyms and 8 totems and then 8 Necrozma fused Totems (Earthen’s idea). It would be challenging and It could be very creative!
lol good idea but would it be hard? gyms arent too hard and trials were not hard at all
Tbh some Totems were quite hard for a Pokémon game at least 😡
Lurantis actually took some effort and I loved it
Lurantis would’ve bet me if Raichu didn’t get a clutch survival
Salazzle would of been harder if Wishiwashi and the Waterium weren’t available right before it
I just Fire Fanged it to death
Wishiwashi And its stupid Alomomomola
So if we are getting new pokemon (just speculation okay???), what pokemon do you feel were missing and should be implemented?
Ice types (at least two more lines please)
Dark types (same as for ice)
Fossils (I thought island fossils could have been sooo cool)
More three stagers please.
I wish there were more pokemon like Turtonator, which reminded me of pokemon like Tropius and Druddigon, (similar to Magmar and Electabuzz). High leveled, one stage pokemon who dont need an evolution and could maybe get a prevo.
Instead, we got pokemon like Komala, Bruxish, etc. that got one stage but didnt go anywhere. These pokemon remind me more of pokemon like Farfetch’d and Dunsparce and Quilfish that have one stage and don’t go anywhere yet everyone wants them too.
Thoughts?
tbh more pokemon = the new forms (necrozma armor whatever)
and because of gs on vc my bet would be alolan johto pokemon (not very exciting tho)
But see you have no idea. And that doesnt answer my question which had nothing to do with forms.
uh… i know i have no idea. this is what i believe is meant. you asked for thoughts didnt you?
“what pokemon do you feel were missing and should be implemented?”
ok to answer your question, i think a bunch of the one stage only pokemon. i would also love to see an abundance of the new pokemon in USM because 5% chance for the majority of alolan pokemon was ridiculous. but again, they said new pokemon that werent in sm, i took that as the new forms we saw in the trailer and possible alolan johtos because of the fact that gs are coming to vc and are bank compatible. I dont see any new pokemon. Did any other pokemon game add new pokemon like evolutions in between? as in, did bw2 add anything to existing bw pokemon besides the forms?
I just want more Ghosts. Even if they’re Alolan forms.
I want to venture further into the volcanic land, perhaps there we would find some new Fossils.
Lemme just jump into the volcano and end this trailer-induced suffering.
JUST GIVE MY MY GROUND/FIGHTING TYPE FOR FUCKS SAKE
You’ll get it some day
And don’t overhyped it for yourself, you might hate the first Ground/Fighting
Don’t you think I haven’t thought about it
It still has a scary amount of weaknesses and if not stated perfectly it will just be worse off
Yeah flying types laugh at it.
Water, grass, ice, psychic, flying and fairy………
But I don’t care
Thats a lot of really prominent types too. Almost everybody has a water type, and an energy ball somewhere in their party. Psychic is everywhere, Fairy has only gotten bigger and badder, and ice and flying hang out on teams more often than not. Sorry dude. That’s probs why it doesnt exist yet.
Def more and better Ice types.
Also more Fairy types. I would love too see more fairy types. And their type combos. Also I generally just want more pokemon wth 3 stage evos, I know this is weird, but I would like that.
More Megas too with type changes. Like Water Fairy Milotic or Dragon Steel druddigon
*Foaming at the mouth*
do we have an electric fairy that isnt tapu koko yet? my 3 favorite types are psychic and electric as the older ones with fairy being added because it has some similarities with psychic. i would like to see more combinations with these. also still waiting for an electric fire starter
Yea thats more what I mean unique combinations.
Dedenne
ah yes. dedenne. i didnt do that fairy tourney way back when but i do remember dedenne was used a lot
IMO Water/Dragon Milotic has always made more sense. I just want my Mega Infernape but I know if it happens at all it won’t be until Warp Diamond and Pearl.
We need less stand alone Pokemons, and more ice types that are actually good
I agree with this especially with the dark types and fossils.
And less stand alones since, while I love some of them, I like playing with ones that evolve and get stronger (kind of part of my narrative of them changing like I am I guess)
My view:
Really excited and I’m definitely gonna be in a speculative mood until these games are in my hands.
I am leaning towards sequel based on that route and the characters looking slightly different, but I doubt it’s just a ‘third version’. If it is a alternative story, that means it’s a different retelling and it’s not gonna be the same as SM so I think they will be worth playing because of that different story.
It’s kind of like ORAS where some details and things were changed to make a new story, except maybe they’ll change even more.
(And honestly I so want a sequel because that Gladion art that was from the night before makes me want it so much)
Hey welcome back.
I hope that guy finishes his fossil pokemon park.
Clever girl….
It must be there for a reason! I’d love to see more Pokémon in the open!
I also hope they open up the golf course I was I bit annoyed that I couldn’t enter it.
Yes please, it’s stupid not allowing the entrance to a place that takes up ¼ of the island
If we actually get new pokémon (don’t wanna build my hopes up too much for that), they need to correct their crime of never having alolan fossil pokémon. Never forgive, never forget
Hawaii isn’t really known for fossils seeing as it’s a volcanic island it makes sense.
NO. I’ve had this debate at least a dozen times before so I’m not going to go into specifics but… THAT’S NOT A BLEEDING VALID EXCUSE. a)there are a bunch of cool subfossil species b) When tf has GF ever cared about valid biogeograpgy/geology before
These asses don’t deserve excuses being made for denying themselves so many creative options , and removing the most excting part of a generation for me.
Really sorry if I come off as agressive but as I’ve said I’ve had this debate so many times over and I’m sick of people letting GF get away with their usual bullsh*t decisions.
Calm down
1) It’s just a game
2) They’ve skipped fossils before
a) This is an issue I take very much to heart so no, I don’t see the need to calm down :p . No point in throwing an empty phrase like “it’s just a game” at me, me being angry about this doesn’t in any way indicate I don’t realise that? Does this seriously make it sound like it’s a serious life issue to me? Fact is if I see a mention of fossils and SM I’m bound to think of my most major disappointment with the games, and I’m perfectly entitled to express my opionion, no?
Again I have no intention of making anyone feel attacked at all, this is just literally the one thing that majorly pisses me off about these games.
b) Yeah, in gen II that was basically gen 1.5 (which is a whole fascinating thing in itself). Any reasonable assessment of precedent (which GF admiteedly toys with in each generation) would take this into account and tell you fossils were still a stable pattern.
You literally told me to fuck off over a game. You can show your disappointment for a game, that isn’t what I said ‘it’s just a game’ for. I said ‘it’s just a game’ because you’re being rude asf
It wasn’t him who told you that..
Oops sorry, all these aviless people are blending for me
Just to point out is actually that some avis aren’t loading for me, I think most do have avis
Tbh, Nintendalek has a weird avi that never loads no matter in what device I in
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1e591c7cf842684c96020483b208d5d3a2f06284959e9616e24011129fc2a52.png
For some reason the avi broke a few years ago and I just haven’t bothered to fix it hahaha
Oh hey fair enough if you got me confused with someone (which is fair if we don’t have clear profiles haha 🙂 .
Maybe be more careful before accusing me of literally telling yo to fuck though hahaha
I am very angsty over this specific issue but I honestly don’t think I’m directly rude to people. I’ve been visitng this site for years and only tend to comment when there’s actual news but I really cherish the friendly atmosphere and would never dream of attacking people here 🙂 .
Haha sorry today’s been such a blurr, I’m just glad Kuppo pointed it out before it got embarrassing XD
Yeah it’s fine to get frustrated as long as you don’t let it get feisty with other people and stuff, sorry for all the drama XD
Okay so since I actually replied to thinking you were someone else
1) You do need to calm down. It is just a game. You can criticise it and dislike it all you want, but you shouldn’t let it legit make you angry.
2) Yet Johto had its own regional bird, bugs and rodent, as well as its own starters. We’ve known since Gen 2 fossils aren’t a given and yet people let themselves get overhyped. Am I dissapointed that there wasn’t fossils (and the number of Pokémon in general)? Yeah. Am I gonna let that make me angry or overall ruin a game for me? Mope
I think we can basically agree to disagree on this lol.
I don’t see a need to calm down, I take this issue to heart, it’s no business of yours to police my feelings over it. A little anger is perfectly healthy, I’m not bursting capillaries over this or something.
It’s perfectly fine to think you should take enjoyment of fictional franchises with emotional distance, but that’s not everyone’s approach, and I’m certainly not the only one here who doesn’t (and again this happens to literally be the 1 issue that really gets to me).
Point 2 is frankly just nitpicking. I think discounting Gen II in this case is valid, you don’t, ultimately I don’t think there’s a single right answer of interpreting patterns. It is entirely valid to argue that GF break patterns whenever they fell like it so there’s that too. All it comes down to is me thinking this is an unnecessary and idiotic pattern break, and not wanting to let them get a pass on that haha.
I never said it ruined the whole game for me. SM was amazing. That doesn’t mean I’m going to sweep it’s flaws under the rug. Accepting the flaws and moving on? Sure, that’s sensible. That doesn’t necessarily entail forgiving them or accepting they were valid decisions. They still should absolutely be brought up when GF has a chance of addressing them.
But yeah, agree to disagree I guess.
I agree to agree to disagree :p
Also sorry for being kinda cunty about your anger and stuff, today’s just been a blurr and sometimes some people here can have their anger get out of hand so I’m kinda used immediately going into ‘calm. Down m8’ mode
No worries, sorry you encountered annoying people!
Lemme sum it up
– Two versions is fucking stupid.
– Should’ve been sequels*
– This reveal trailer was really freaking bad
– Necrozma Lunaala is perfect
– More Mimikyu love
– Maybe more customization? that would be nice. I have this irrational anger towards the new girl though.
– If they have new alolan forms and/or pokemon as well as a plot thats different enough and new features like a REAL battle frontier then its a day one purchase. (B2W2/Platinum levels of content)
– If not I will probably skip it or buy it later
– Again, worst pokemon game reveal I’ve ever seen. Give us a full trailer or just.. something so we understand what this is without having to analyze “Never before seen pokemon” and “alternative story”
This wasn’t mean to be a proper trailer tho, it’s just a teaser. It’s meant to drive you nuts and leave questions unanswered, your annoyance makes you interested in it
my annoyance makes me indifferent/mad
You’re still on this Pokémon site waiting to find more info, aren’t you? ?
?? no??
?
at least your honest tho 😀 I like that
They might be saving a longer trailer/more info until E3, at least that’s what I thinl. I knew it couldn’t be a huge trailer because of it being nearby and thought it would just be teased, like it was today.
It was sorta like that last year, where we got a majority of our info near or during E3
I really hope so. My worry is that Pokemon likes to go silent for a few months after revealing the games not revealing anything. But since we are closer to the release than when SuMo were revealed it may not be like that
Were only five months until release, I think we might get monthly info starting from this month or next
Yeah, with 5 months, I doubt we’ll have that.
I also forgot about CoroCoro, they might also have info. (although they may not since it comes around E3, but worth mentioning anyways)
I agree with the 2 versions thing. Why can’t it be just one fucking game??? I’m tired of having to buy the 2 games all the time to get access to everything. Hopefully, this time that won’t be needed (depending on what they decide to make exclusive to each game).
Psst
It’s called trading
It’s been a feature since Gen 1
I don’t like to have pokémon that are not mine. As such, to make a living dex, I had to buy both Sun & Moon to get one cosmog and one cosmoem, one Type null and one Silvally, etc.
That’s your problem then, not GameFreak’s.
No shit, dude. What kind of stupid reply is that? It’s not like I’m the only one making living dexes. How about GF making Cosmog or Type Null breedable instead? Is that too much of a problem? Fuck off.
Wow dude calm down? I’m just saying that GameFreak probably counts on people being willing to trade rather than having their own self imposed rules about only having their own Pokémon, and thus don’t expect people feeling its absolutely necessary to buy both games unless they actually want to. No need to be such a cunt about it :/
It was the way you replied that triggered me. “That’s your problem”. Was that suppose to make me feel better? Why even waste your time to tell me that?
Anyway, the problem is with the legendaries. I don’t mind getting regular exclusive pokémon through the GTS, cause I can breed those later to have my own. But do you like having a Xerneas/Yveltal from someone else instead of having your own? I don’t. This is why I liked Platinum and Emerald more than B2W2. You could get the whole legendary trio in one game.
I’m just pointing out that the two version thing isn’t a problem for anyone but individuals and not a problem with the games in that regard.
If I upset you, be mature and say so rather than being so dickish about it.
Personal thoughts on it:
– This is correct, but it kinda has to happen. The games are too different from one another. Theirs only one Cosmog, so how do you determine which legendary you get? It sucks, but its a necessary evil.
– Nope. B2W2 sold badly and I have no faith that they could do better after the crap Sun and Moon was.
– It was a teaser, so its forgivable.
– Both of them are trash and belong right along a certain Toucan you don’t like.
– Also overhyped pokemon that doesn’t deserve that much attention.
– Same with the new guy. I’ve never wanted to punch a character in the face so much as him.
– Not for me personally. At that point I”ll simply be asking why it couldn’t be DLC rather then a full new game that most of us don’t care about.
– But yeah, this is a hard skip for me. Not worth my time or money. Its just going to be an improved version of a bad pokemon game, and I”m not interested in playing it again.
So I just realised
We see no sign of the trainer out of battle after they’ve chosen their starter
Combing that with what we saw in the SuMo game files…
Catch my drift?
I’m convinced the Wingull followed the protag. It turned exactly when he did.
Oh that reminds me
What about that spaz Rotom Dex
It was thrown in the volcano where it belongs
Good, I HATED that thing staring at me 24/7
no

oh. i really hope so but I doubt the 3DS can handle that. Unless they made some crazy Iwata Johto compression tool
The 3DS could probably handle it seeing as it’s just one extra model on the overworld and most of the problems with the games were in battle tbh
They’d probably dissappear in cutscene tho
Oh no an Ultra Beast!, Quick get back in your Pokeball Wailord so I, a small powerless child, can protect you!
Why do you think the protag is always smiling? They know they’ll be fine as a demon capable of obliterating any threat instantly

He’s just surprised something as odd as he appeared ?
Trying not to let the darkness escape and reveal himself as one of demonkind. He isn’t aware that everyone in Alola is invincible to Tauros Charging them and Mudsdale stomping them so they are probably the same.
Hyep
What if these versions are only happening so we are able to sit down again? I have seen so many places to park my arse in Alola but am blocked by the inability to sit.
Then you see other people sitting down while you are forced to stand eternal. It’s madding!
Maybe it’s because we are meant to be from a different region where nobody ever learned to sit except when straddling a Pokemon in full protective gear?
Or….just maybe the game takes place in purgatory and to pay for the sins of our past life we’re force to stand being unable to emote or pain and suffering. Yes! thats got to be it! Nothing else makes sense…
I would preorder a day one edition just to sit
Um.. So the youtuber Shofu posted a video saying not to be disappointed.
because he knows something we don’t and it’ll get revealed soon
UM> WHAT
hes just saying that for views. tpci emailed someone back specifically saying they dont plan to bring it onto switch if this is what he means
Or maybe he really knows something? Its possible for someone who doesnt work directly for GF to have information you know? Its called having sources
He is constantly getting products from nintendo for free to advertise. I wouldn’t be surprised.
im well aware and i understand that completely. i just cant think of something he would know that would be a surprise or anything. alolan johtos seem obvious. switch was deconfirmed. what else is there?
He’s a reviewer so he gets games early way before release
nah… He didn’t say it’ll be on switch, he just said there are some “gameplay surprises to be excited about” and that even though alola got boring quick this will still “change up the game”
this is how ive looked at alola. i always talked about how i disliked lack of main game, and how people rush just to get to competitive. Alola brought story and i havent played much since beating the main game. I regret hoping for a more story based game. if we look back at bw2, it brought more story to bw so i see the same thing happening for me personally. New gameplay? idk what could be meant by that but lets wait and find out.
Why should he know something that we don’t? Is he secretly a hacker?
He has an uncle that works at gamefreak.. .
Makes sense :0

Alolan forms of Johto Pokémon
Poison/Steel Mercury Slugma, Grass/Fire hula dancer Bellosom, etc
I’m completely up for that Slugma idea
Um…he didn’t actually say that.
He said don’t be disappointed because they are sure to reveal more information soon, and hopefully something interesting.
Go to 1:18 and 3:34

I watched it. He didn’t say he knows something the rest of us don’t. He just said he’s sure we will get something more info soon.
“I have a bit more info than most people”
Cmon. That’s literally word for word.
Or maybe he’s just trollin but shofu works with Nintendo a LOT
On the plus side we’ll have more Lillie and Nebby ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯
ugh should i prepare for bad memes that arent funny and will get old fast?
Different strokes for different blokes
I find it endearing :<
lol i guess im the one who should just stay in the bag then
or if this is alternate version maybe Gladion has Nebby and Lillie has Type Null
Type Nebby
evolves into Silgaleo or Luvally
or maybe, the protagonist will tell gladion and Lillie and their mother, that he/she knows where their father is?
Lusamine exiled him to Pokepelago and told them he was dead.
what? i thought he was taken by an ultra beast and lost all his memory?
I mean maybe but I think Lusamine would still know him if she saw him.
well yeah, i think lillie and gladion would too no? i dont remember when he was said to have “died”
It didn’t, I just think that is something Lusamine would tell them, like they ask where he is and she just brushes them off with that and gets back to herself.
<3 <3
However, I also am excited to have more Gladion <3
oh hey you’ve returned 😀
I wonder how different they’re going to be compared to SM
Lillie now has a reinforced titanium alloy briefcase with fifty six locks
Nebby still escapes
These will always be endearing to me ^_^
Well she doesn’t seem to know it can use Teleport, despite it using it when we first see them.
So is it too much to get excited over the prospect of new Pokémon?
We may see new Alolan Formes (but I really want some new Megas).
New Z-moves are hard for me to get excited about unless they start getting more creative with them.
Until proven otherwise there are no new Pokemon just forms
And only Formes for Solgaleo and Lunala which is sad.
I guess Alolan Pokémon will forever remain shit.
Honestly while i do think it’s very risky to assume any actual new pokémon, I think it would be reasonable to assume new alolan forms. There were so few of them, and nearly half of them were basically jokes, so I definitely fell like there’s major untapped material.
Maybe it’s safest to be pessimistic and just assume new legendary forms, but I think we do have a decent chance at alolans, if only following the gen VI precedent of new megas.
Idk remember in Plat and B2W2 we got forms for other Pokémon too
I’d say be excited for it as a possibility, but not as a certain
in all honesty, i do not see megas coming to usm. i dont think it would fit to just throw more in when they stopped in sm for zmoves. z moves are unexciting (imo) but there will be more and we saw them in the trailer today. as for New pokemon, i said this below but i really doubt we will get new pokemon in terms of evos for those one stage pokemon like komala, bruxish, etc. as much as i would love them, i just dont think so. I see the forms and possibly alolan johtos because of the gs being on vc with bank compatibility. one thing i want is more than5% chance of finding alolan pokemon because that made sense. also get rid of golisopod (is this the name) ability or give hidden ability please
man this post has quite a few typos, jeeez
I agree with you and it’s kind of sad. Alolan Formes never had the same umph as Megas did.
I know we are getting new Z-moves but I hope they aren’t all just boring ones that inflict damage and nothing else. Give them cool additional effects and I’ll be excited about them.
well alolan formes were built as different forms of regular pokemon. megas were built to be powerful in different ways, whether it was typing or stats or abilities etc. z-moves didnt have the umph that they thought they would have as a replacement for megas
Alolan forms make sense if you look at real world nature where variations of the same species can exist due to different climates, diet etc.
The issue is that many aren’t explained well and are just because of Pancakes/ whatever.
Megas on the other hand are built onto the lore of evolution in the Pokemon world. Both are interesting but Megas generally have more potential to be game-changers.
Z-moves are pretty much just longer drawn out super moves that can get tedious fast. i found myself pretty much ignoring them completely during the main game.
I think Alola Forms have less oomph because we might get regional variants throughout the franchise i think
I combined everything that makes sense, other people’s theories and my theories to make one Big prediction:
You arrive in alola. You’re from Sinnoh. You have Daddy Issues. You get your starter. You meet your rival that is the protagonist of the opposite gender. You meet Kukui’s doughter that has a weird pokemon. You are saved by Necrozma and it recognizes the weird pokemon. It gives you the Z-ring. You go on your adventure. You fight 8 gym leaders (Grown up Trial capitains + Hau with a Psychic gym + Ryoku) and Totems (Ones from Sun/Moon + A. Raichu (Hau’s Signature mon is now a new Alolan form, his Raichu became the totem)). In the meantime you meet the cult-like Team Crystal that praises Necrozma. After that, That weird pokemon evolves into a second Necrozma that posseses Solgaleo/Lunala and opens a wormhole. He splits and posseses the Totems while preparing to posses the UBs. You have to fight the totems to get parts of Necrozma. He breaks out and posseses the UBs. Gym leaders fights the UBs, you have to get help from Team Crystal and Catch the Original Necrozma, use his Z-move and beat the second Necrozma. You win, the second Necro devolves back into the weird friendly pokemon. Then you battle the Elite 4 and Lillie the Champion. The end. In the postgame you can catch the UBs and battle in the Battle Frontier.
lol i love how in order to like hint at sinnoh remakes in the future. you have to be from sinnoh and moved to alola
Watch all of this be actually 100% accurate
please dont give us the lazy opposite sex rival. Make a REAL character.
isnt it just the protags? lol
yeah and its lazy >:/
i agree
What if it’s a opposite sex rival but a great and we’ll developed character at the same time?
dont make me laugh
New Ultra Fusion coming soon http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/105/736/cc6.png
*gasp*
It’s super powerful and could probably beat Arceus easily.
Guys, I’m feeling like getting into pkm again after a few months off it. I started playing SM again a couple of days ago and only found out about the direct today lol. I’ve only watched 6 episodes of the anime, is the rest good?
I think taking breaks from stuff is always good tbh, it’s probably why I can post stuff here so much even I dry periods because I take breaks sometimes
I like the anime, but I think it’s hit or miss with some people. There’s filler but I actually feel they’re quite fun? Not fully caught up myself but this is just so far
I’ll take a look at it then. I stopped at the 6th one because that’s all they had released at the time
Do you have a deviantart account?
Never used it
the anime hasnt been good since Veronica Taylor stopped voicing Ash. but to each their own i guess
I’ve never watched Pokemon in English so I don’t even knew about this lady’s existence 😀
ah ok thats cool. then my opinion matters even less lol
lol at my verb tenses getting all mixed up. I grew up watching it in Portuguese but it just doesn’t sound as good as in Japanese
