For those of you that didn’t now, there is a new mobile Pokémon game called PokéLand. It’s an addition to the Pokémon Rumble series, but of course this time on mobile. Right now it is only in its alpha stage and is just out there for some users to test. Luckily, I got the app quick enough to get a chance to play… and let me tell you, Pokémon is really stepping up their game with mobile apps.
PokéLand provides all of the fun of the Rumble series, collecting toys, discovering new areas (or in PokéLand’s case, islands), without the hassle of in-game purchases. Not to say that there aren’t micro-transactions, but I’ve been playing for about 5 days now and haven’t once felt even the slightest need to buy anything. There are two types of currency like most mobile games, coins and gems. Unlike a lot of mobile games, the gems aren’t that hard to obtain which makes it quite simple to unlock new islands and new Pokémon.
Of course, it being in Japanese I can’t read everything so there are still a few aspects of the app I don’t fully understand. How to actually go about upgrading your Pokémon is one of those things. There is also an ‘arena’ where you battle choosing three Pokémon of your own and go up against a lot of Pokémon that are hard to find. Granted, you can’t obtain any Pokémon in the area, but you get to see some more rare ones and potentially earn more gems.
Overall, for just being in the Alpha stage, this game has made a great first impression on me. Pokémon GO had a rough start and has gotten better with time. Pokémon Duel was fun for a while, but I ultimately lost interest. Magikarp Jump is off to a great start though and it isn’t an exaggeration to say I’m addicted. It’s safe to say at this point Pokémon is going full force with mobile games and it seems like a good path for them to take. What do you guys think of the direction Pokémon is heading with titles on iOS and Android? And if you got a chance to play the Alpha, what was your experience with PokéLand?
Do you guys either want music to be remix or stay the same in USUM
Remix
Stay the same but with additions
It’s what’s happened in every sequel and third version so far (not that that’s a large sample group)
It mostly stayed the same except for a few battle themes
I prefer that the music stays the same and new tracks be added, like in BW2

Is this a meme now.
Long time ago.
It’s only been known for a day 😡
6 or 7 hours is very long time to me.
in a distant land, I AKU the shapeshifting master of darkness
HOT DAMN THAT CELESTEELA
She is the best actually.
I LOVE IT
i just love that color
like bloody gothic
Earthen is a goth confirmed?
Its just a phase mom
hell no, but some goth chicks are my type
The only one of those I like is Celesteela, its’ like some Mordor type thing.
Necrozma makes every pokemon even cooler. I’m going to need to make a Lopunny one
That’s my boy.
What’s your favourite
Non-signature/non Z-Move
Z-Move
Signature Move
Optional: Why?
I’m confused by the first one
If it’s not a signature or z-move
Wait nwm
Uhhhh
Moonblast is cool
Sword dance – The animation is cool and it’s such an useful and satisfying move
Marshadow – It’s very badass, nuff said
Oblivion wing – Best draining move ever
OHHH I didn’t understand the question
Moonblast
Stoked Sparksurfer
Dark Void
Ayyyy
1: Moonblast
2: Shattered Psyche
3: Geomancy
Earthquake/Rollout: I like to shake things up and and curl into a boulder and crush things
Tectonic Rage: self-explanatory
Rock Wrecker: Firing a freaking boulder like a cannonball how could i not love it
Psychic/Dragon Pulse
Shattered Psyche
Mystical Fire
Volt Switch
Soul Stealing Seven Star Strike
Spectral Thief
Goldenrod City i could NEVER get a grip of the layout
Really? I know it by heart :3
i didn’t grow up with GSC…
I grew up with HGSS
You didn’t? You’re old enough though.
I thought earthen would’ve been on Pokémon ASAP 😮
yeah my Pokemon childhood is very fuzzy at best and some severe mental trauma
but that’s a story for another
Me with Lumiose
OK no Lumiose is a mess
Lumiose would’ve been fine (even amazing) if it was in a game with a lower map screen
But because it doesn’t have that its hell
It forces you to spend money on the taxis because reuse you will be wondering around forever
Or cycle for like five years lol
Because*
I never used taxis. I never really had much trouble navigating. I just go to the middle and use the signs.
“I have to be in this street.”
“No wait, it’s not this way, it’s the one next to this.”
“Hmm, maybe try the other one.”
“OK, great now I’m confused.”
‘I found where I’m meant to be!’
‘Oh wait lol it’s nothing’
The Rotom map would’ve been very useful there
Two questions
1) First Pokémon game?
2) What year did you get it?
Mines was Dia in ’07/08
White in 2014
:ooo
Yeah I’m kinda new in the games but I watched the anime back in 2006 when I was 6/7 so not so new in the series :p
I remember playing my borther’s red version when I was super little but I dont count it
HGSS – 2010
Borther :p
Yellow sometime in early 2000s (I can’t remember the exact year tbh)
The reason I got it ‘late’ was cause it was passed down to me from my brother when he had the newer games
Blue, the year it came out in the UK. Had to share with my brother.
Thats mine too!
My first game was Yellow as for the year I dont really recall when i started just that i remember playing it as a kid. So maybe 1999 or 2000ish.
Pokemon red
maybe like 1999 or even 2000 i remember playing it extremely young
How old are you even? Because I would of been a fetus or newborn then, and if it was before November I wasn’t even a pair of gametes XD
probably 6 or 7
Something’s wrong Kurusu. You aren’t in my guest list anymore…
Wat’s more important than DP remake? ….this …….. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1496824696118.png
Ultra S&M
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b534708d454032861502bf6c8a87e61e3e429c34b98530d2da5aa8b656b4c5ac.gif
I like USUM
But I am Lazy
“Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon for the Nintendo 3ds and Nintendo 2ds systems™” is a better alternative tbh
Hey y dislike button didn’t work???
I do USUM
USM sounds like a government-mandated service.
The United Shared Market
Better than mine lol. “United Sewage Mandate”
because Im bored Im gonna shiny hunt in both HGSS and Platinum for a Shiny Starter
Good luck! 🙂
I’ve never got a shiny starter when picking them, I prefer to breed them. I did get Shiny Lugia in Soul Silver though.
Anyway GL 🙂
Unpopular opinion: USUM are the best possible thing that could have been announced for the next game (If my assumption is right)
why
Like why do I think this?
yes
1. I never was much of a 4th gen fan
2. Sun and Moon don’t actually have as much sequelability as other gens IMO, we’d learn a few things but it wouldn’t benefit it
3. A lot of SuMo’s best characters either didn’t do enough or had shitty pacing, this game has the chance to fix that and make it leagues better
The first point is very subjective tho
That’s why I said unpopular opinion
I don’t think it’s the best possible action just imo but I’m hyped anyway!
Certainly unexpected
Better than Stars or Do remakes? How, I’m still hyped but how?
1. The remakes don’t actually excite me
2. It depends what you mean by stars, the stars third game or the stars sequel?

It’s doesn’t matter if it was the best possible thing or not.
The reveal was just tacky.
Almost like it wasn’t meant to be part of the direct but the guy in charge messed up…
I honestly liked how it was introduced BUT the actual description of it was kinda shitty
I mean it was preceded by a pretty lengthy segment on Pokken, and I think everyone was about ready to call it a day and say that’s it, and then the reveal for USUM starts playing. I dunno it just felt strange. Like the guy who was supposed to remove that part, forgot to do it or something.
True
I disagree. It was really cool for them to hint at the new games at the beginning of the trailer with covered boxes and then show them at the end after Pokken DX was fully shown off. There was clear intention here which people don’t seem to understand.
I AGREE ENTIRELY
Just… wish they explained a little better
Just how I felt watching it.
Granted I watched it a few hours after the official reveal, so I knew what to expect.
That doesn’t mean that afterwards they shouldn’t have explained what the game entails. The confusion has sparked a negative reaction.
It was just a teaser but imo it should’ve had the Pokken section end with a box art reveal of USUM as the boys unwrapped their present before fading to black, introducing USUM somehow, and then playing the trailer
Tru
I agree. I get that GF values the element of surprise and wants to keep things tightly locked, but they didn’t even explain well what the game is, which sparked negative reaction. I’ve seen a bunch of people concluding it’s just DLC sold as a new game, and that’s not a good reaction for a first impression.
Well what’s your assumption?
It’s gonna be Sun And moon
with extra areas
more story, including backstory
new characters
a new climax
Please PLEASE go all out with the climax. They played it soooo safe last time.
That’s what I think will happen
I have an ideaaaa but y’know
ooooh do tell
Posted a shortened version above
I’m not jumping to any conclusions. I’m cautiously hyped.
I think we all need that after SuMo :<
SuMo didn’t disappoint me
Keep this in mind, we’ve only gotten first sets for the past six years
For a first set of games, you gotta admit SuMo were pretty good
Cautious hype? SM delivered, but not in the way I think we were expecting. It was great, but not HGSS level great.
I meant the whole more Pokémon debacle ‘+’ ;
Yeah. . .
THERE IS NEWFOUND HOPE FOR KOMALADid the banana ever get debunked? Because the trailer did mention ‘never before seen’ Pokémon
which are probably just forms and I’m reachingur not reaching 😛
Reach for that Banana, REACH!
‘Never seen before Pokémon’ means new Solgaleo and Lunala formes.
I acknowledged that in my post tho
And tbh if it’s anything like Pt or BW2 some other Pokémon could get forms
Araquanid Lava Forme please.
Ability: Fire Bubble
Ehhhhh?
Bananini…. so many good memories ;-;
Reach for it pal
REACH FOR IT!!!
wow….found and caught a Yanma
1% find
so far
Badges: 2
Croconaw 22
Phanpy 19
Teddiursa 16
Zubat 14
Heracross 16
trying to get everybody around 20 to fight the fat cow
U can catch Teddiursa early in crystal??
and Phanpy though.
in the area north of the first route during the morning Hours
i was extremely lucky the first one i found was male and caught with a single ball
yeah as early as Violet City in the Dark Cave
but all the pokemon Flee this early so its a crap shoot to catch them
Was it swarming? All you need is Heracross to beat Whitney.

look closely
BUFF BIFF!?
IT’S PROBABLY CALLED BUFF
Boss battles confirmed :0
Max Bliss?
Kurusu it says you’re offline
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-isXkbmTKE
I want an extended version of this remix
Omg guys remember how the Forces of Nature got forms? What if the Tapu get forms where they look more like the animal their shell is similar to Therian Forms 😮
yesssssssssssss
I’d die
I’m saying no purely cause Lele
I mean just make it look like a fairy butterfly thing 😮
KILL IT KIIIIILLLLL ITIITITIIIAGRGGAGAGHAHHAHAHAGHGAGAAHHA
As much as I usually disagree with you, here I 100% agree
So Tapu Fini with a form change will become the dolphin Pokemon I wanted so much *0*
think again, its a fish
Whatever still looks like more of a dolphin than Gorebyss
Gorebyss is a piper eel
Sword Fish.
I was always disappointed that Guardian of Alola was the same for all of them and not based on the Animals. Like Bulu could have a full Bull form behind it and act as the head.
I would’ve liked a colour change at the least tbh, the yellow body only fits Koko imo
Can’t wait for my Snail Tapu Lele. Speed stat = 5
I hope it dies
But it’s a majestic butterfly ;-;
:p
The similar pkmn have new forms it sounds like how GF thinking ……I remember this though ……….the red is an Alolan form an the yellow is Mega. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1496862425208.png
Shitpost but if Lele is a butterfly…
Imagine if it got Quiver Dance like Koko got Brave Bird
‘Hey Ubers, here’s a new addition to your roster’

Well going to film Episode 2 now wish me luck!
GL 🙂
Bon courage!
May the odds be with you.
(I don’t actually know where this line came from)
May the odds be ever in your favor*
From Hunger Games
Oh yeah insurgent’s older twin
My idea for the Climax (I got the evil idea from a youtuber)
You go to confront Lusamine in Ultra Space but things are different. Lusamine has zero contrl over the now violent Ultra beasts attempting to travel between worlds, so you are forced to defeat them alongside the mascot legend. When all seems normal, Necrozma suddenly appears and fuses with the legend, causing it to lose control
From here, you’re forced to face off against the mascot in an epic battle in order to save it
I like the idea of 4 ultra beasts escaping, and then you have to fight each one in a totem battles, allied with their respective tapu. EX: Fighting UB02 in a totem battle with Tapu Koko
I think Xuritree went to Akala
Kartana/Celesteelia to Ula’Ula
Guzzlord to Poni
“When all seems normal” In what kind of world Fighting an evil mom that’s being possessed by a squid that looks like her daughter and turning into a giant squid normal? xD
where the hell did this sun and moon hate come from
What SuMo hate? 😮
Cut fan.
From hell
DAMN YOU YOU FAT COW
Earthen you’re not going to get a girlfriend if you call her that

So does that make you bullshit?
Jk
