One of the more interesting tidbits to come from Nintendo’s E3 showing was this tidbit:
Mr. Ishihara of The Pokémon Company is pleased to announce a core RPG Pokémon title will be coming to #NintendoSwitch!
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) June 13, 2017
While many have speculated that the main Pokémon series would be making the jump from the Nintendo 3DS to the Switch, it has now been confirmed that we will be seeing games on the latter. It was later added that it could be “well over a year” until we see a title on Nintendo’s latest console however, hinting that it could be Gen VIII.
Are you HYPED to see a Switch Pokémon RPG?? I am! You may have seen on Twitter last night that I have one in my apartment now… although it is my roommate’s. Sewaddle salaries don’t cover such luxuries :'(
So ARMS people playing, is it worth the €60?
oh my fucking god 7 grabs in A SINGLE ROUND
Wailord should get a Z-move that turns Waterfall into a Pulverizing Pancake like 5 minute cutscene of him flying into the air and falling down on the enemy
The more I think about this the more mad I am it didnt happen
Speaking of that float ambergris depository did you know Wailord learns Nobel Roar?
I truly hate Ninjara, hell Max Brass is easier
So we’ve sprinkled here and there what we like, but what are everyones top 10 (or less) hopes for Pokemon USUM.
10. Early accessible Challenge Mode- The games are already pretty challengeing so its at the bottom. But extra challenge wouldnt be too bad.
9. MEdal System- as a completionist the BW2 Medal system was amazing! I loved it. The challenges in SM werent that cool, so a medal system like BW2 would be great
8. More Interesting Characters- Most 3rd versions have interesting characters involved that werent in previous, so I hope SM add a lot.
7. Change in the league- I dont want to have the same order, and the same totems and trainers.Unlike The other third versions theres no year break, so we are pretty familiar with everything.
6. A bunch of new areas- ike the last point we need to see some new areas, more color, and updated areas.
5. Improving the story- Done get me wrong, Lillie’s story was awesome, but playing moon made me realize how annoying Lillie is. I like Lillie, but seeing that whole development AGAIN. Cmon something else/new please.
4. Improve Festival Plaza- This thing is the most Clunky/ Weird/ Confusing thing in all of SM. Not only is it just hard to figure everything out, the Online function SUCKS. They need to add a PC in Plaza, Improve connecting with friends, and just make the facilities in the plaza just a set 10, and you can just update the 10. Rather than finding people, buying it off them, and just all that extra stuff.
3. More Nonbattling Content- Pokemon SM had Absolutely nothing to do except Battling. I love the non-battling mini games (Poke athelon, Pokemon amie mini games) They just add something other than just battling.
2. More Alola Forms/ Megas/ New Pokemon- Personally I hope we have new Alola forms. If its an updated region in a parallel universe, then maybe some pokemon ‘adapted’ different causing more alola forms
1. Batlle Frontier/ Post game content- What did you expect? This is a 3rd version. 3rd versions have better post game content. Especially with Frontier. We NEED it.
More Alolan Forms of Kanto Pokemon, Johto can wait.
Harder main story battles.
Gyms and Totem battles at the same time (in the main story)
A new island maybe?
Grown up characters from Sun/Moon
Lillie as the Champion, specializing in Ice types
Hau as a Psychic type gym leader
Plumeria to officialy be with Guzma
Guzma in the E3
And last, for them not to be just cashgrabs
Sorry I dont like to be judgy with others Wishlist, but
Why more Kanto Alola forms? I dont think there will be a another game Johto pokemon can ‘wait’ for
Is Plumeria not working with Guzma as is?
I see this Gym and Totem battle thing a lot, what does that mean?
Because there are a lot of Kanto pokemon that deserve some love from GF. And I still think Forms of Johto pokemon will be in gen 8.
Not officialy.
Basically instead of the trials you beat gyms and after that you just battle Totem pokemon.
For Gym and Totems
It would be like Totems are preliminary battle before the gym almost to prove if you can handle them or not (kind of like a Sprout Tower in HGSS deal) then you can battle the gyms
Plumeria is like… 16
She doesn’t look like she’s 16, and we don’t have any official data on that.
All of Team Skull are teens tho Guzma is the only adult
We don’t know that. Guzma could be an 18-year old and Plumeria could be 25 (I think she’s 25 and guzma’s 27). Grunts are teens, that’s for sure.
No because Guzma and Lusamine were a thing. They are probably close in age. Plus Kukui is probably 30 and he grew up with Guzma. He’s probably in his mid thirties. But Plumeria doesn’t look older than 19
Lusamine looks young, Guzma probably didn’t know her real age. Hau thought she’s not much older than he is, Guzma isn’t much smarter than Hau. Kukui could be 30, Guzma could be 27. And Plumeria looks like she’s 25.
she’s in her forties
Who?
Guzma and Lusamine knew eachother well though???? I’m pretty sure he would know her age?
Where did it say they knew eachother well? They worked together for few scenes, Guzma probably just thought she’s pretty, they didn’t have a serious relationship on screen. Luamine probably lured Guzma with her beauty and got him to help her.
Plumeria straight up says that to the player
Yeah but that was what he though,what she wanted him to think. Really it was just manipulation.
Lusamine is said to have been the only one to pay attention to Guzma. I imagine, even if she was purely manipulating him, they got pretty close. They were partners in crime in the story too
I believe that 7 and 2 will definitely occur. Five is a little bit more subjective but if they are expecting a good rating for these games that are released only a year after their original takes I think they will try to make 5 happen as well. 1 will occur to some degree. The rest I think are hopeful reaches for me. Especially 10, 8, and 6.
YEa 10 probably wont be happening (which is why it was 10)
You dont think 8 and 6 will happen? Why is that? What are your hopes?
I guess I meant make my list 11 slots long because I want #11 to be a sequel game. YEs I know its already a reboot, but just for some little hope I have for sequel
-Better story.
More ultra space, more team skull, more Aether.
-Difficulty settings.
SuMo were much harder than gen 6 games, but just put a simple option like every other game out there.
-More Pokemon.
Probably not gonna happen.
-Post game pls.
-SEQUELS
1. New Pokemon/Alolan Forms
2. A REAL journey, S/M felt more like a field trip with Kukui as the chaperone
3. LESS HAU, he is too annoying
4. Less Tutorial or at least ability to skip it
5. Ability to skip cutscenes, don’t need to see the same thing on my 6th play through
6.Gyms, the trials were unique, and totems were as well, maybe give the leaders a totem as their ace?
7. More Gen 7 pokemon earlier and easier, some new pokemon you could not get till late game or postgame (Type: Null for example) and some were rare and required weird means (Mareanie required S.O.S, Dhelmise was 1%)
8. New Islands?
9. New evil team, Skull was not a threat (and they weren’t really supposed to be) and Aether was almost as bad as Flare
10. Better Postgame content, Battle Tree wasn’t bad, but there needs to be more.
>Aether was almost as bad as flare
Sorry but what the fuck are you talking about? Aether was great
Wouldn’t say it was great. Like we only saw them once before lillie was captured and their motives were unclear
??? How were they unclear? Lusamine corrupted the AF for her own purposes and the employees just did their jobs
I think everyone just wants to see more of that. They kind of leave that for us to piece together
Was Aether even an evil team? I dont think it really was. Lusamine was evil, and she just probably told everyone that the three characters (Hau Gladion and Player) they are intruders and to get rid of them.
I didn’t think so, there was something off about them. After beating them everyone just kinda acted like they didn’t know what they were doing was bad and no one got reprimanded (Lusamine, Faba, etc.)
Because they weren’t. The Aether Foundation is a group that helps injured pokemon. There was corruption from the inside (Lusamine, Faba) that helped team skull and were doing the UB stuff. It was awesome.
Most of the employees either didn’t know about Lusamine’s craziness or were just following orders.
Then I guess I wouldn’t even classify them as an evil team really, it was just a corrupt organization like you said and the employees were just blind to the whole thing
Meh the motives were good, but I hated Faba completely (we need better characters)
he’s a douche
Yep he and Illima are my two least favorite characters (worse they added my least favorite E4 member into the game Grimsley)
Olivia and maybe Wicke
Olivia I also didn’t like and Wicke just fades from my memory alot
Aether needs some work. I’m going to avoid comparing them to Flare to save myself from thinking about Kalos at all
Yeah, I might have overstated Aether’s negatives as even if I didn’t love them, they were better than Flare
1) Battle Frontier of course
2) A sequel, not a remake
3) New Pokemon
4) New Megas
5) Revamped roles for Skull & Aether
6) Pokemon trainer Lillie
7) New Islands
8) Soaring Pokeride
9) Diving Pokeride. Come on, this was a no-brainer, Gamefreak
10) Gyms replace trials. They were cute and all at first, but it doesn’t seem like something they could stretch out for future titles
I still think Trials to gain access to Gyms could work. Also means Gyms can have higher level Pokemon.
That would be nice. The trials were a bit too short.
That’s kind of how I feel about some Gyms. By combining them it is not only longer but pays tribute to the culture of Alola.
10: Walking pokemon, i want my Lycanroc by my side as we walk and or my Crabrawler
9: please get rid of the Aether Foundation and or Team Skull or all of them, they were so predictable
8: maybe jazz up pokemon locations, i was peeved how super late i got Jangmo-o and it came pre-evolved…..which i did not like
7: UP THE DAMN DIFFICULTY I DIED ONLY LIKE ONCE AND THAT WAS ON TOTEM WISHIWASHI
6: give me some hyper elite training grounds, i like how easy it is to EV train but i hate the leveling, like
5: interchangeable ride pokemon like add a few for each ride (also changeable outfits and helmets)
4: a more in-depth look into ultra space, i personally want to study the realm’s inner workings and how the ultra beasts actually came to be
3: Moar Customization, I am sick of looking like a hipster (granted the outfit i wear irl matches my character really well (and i look sharp
2: STOP FOCUSING ON LILLIE’S MOMMY ISSUES HAVE THE ULTRA BEAST FUCK SOME SHIT UP ROYAL SERIOUSLY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THIS BULL
1: Move Tutors and undated movepools, please give Kommo-on Aura Sphere and or Drain Punch
I totally forgot about walking pokemon, we need that
Oh man the Leveling up thing is real. It’s hard to level up in this game. Gooood Point.
this problem wouldn’t happen if we can SOS Chansey or Audino
SOS Chaining High Level Audino would be amazing. Thats good experience for at least 40 Rounds. Just awesome
all i care is hitting 50, that’s competitively viable
Also more potential for Shiny Audino.
i have like 3 of them from friend safari
Yea I already got one for MEga Audino.
Good Bulk/10
stupid angelic shitsack
the only time it EVER was viable was last year’s NU
It worked for me In ORAS. Guess Im just a good trainer
in game or competitive?
Competitive OU
Can I honestly ask how? lmao
it only has like one set
Dazzling Gleam
Toxic
Wish
Protect
Of Course!
Why? I shiny bred all ORAS megas because I was really into competitive and thought other people would be too (Wrong)
How? Easy Wish Protect. I think I had Toxic and Hyper Voice. Hmmm trying to remember the Sets. Im pretty sure I went Max Def and HP. And it just tanked a lot of hits. And I made a team around it, Like Gothitelle to trap fighting types. Magnezone to trap steel types.
Wasn’t Shadow Tag banned in ORAS OU, though?
Was it? I still used it. I mainly found other battles on PSS and some on Showdown. Nobody said anything.
Hmm, either way your team seems to have worked well. Gotta give you props for making the total ass Mega that is Mega Audino workings in OU of all places.
Yea. I was shocked to find it was a bad mega, it honestly wasnt that bad. The ability was pretty trash, but thats it. A Mega that was hard to use was Camerupt. My goodness. That thing is good when TR is up, but without it, No way. Probably my worst team of all ORASmegas.
Siiiiiigh such a waste…..Sharpedo got the better deal while Camerupt got slower and a lousy ability
it should’ve gotten Drought to at least try to slow down a watery grave
BLEACHGUH THIS SCUM MUST TASTE IRON RETRIBUTION
http://pa1.narvii.com/5910/e241a10f2504170d19c7c95b74cbe7df618b31bc_hq.gif
hmmmmmmmmmm how and why……
I was gonna breed for one but I have alot of other shiny wants ahead of it.
Never even thought about #2. UBs were said to be so hostile, yet they didn’t really destroy anything and I don’t recall anyone getting seriously injured.
Seriously y’all are so blinded by Lillie Guzma memes and Lusamine’s rocking tits and hair we barely had any issues regarding these interdimensional rogues
I agree with all if this!
1) 2 regions
2) Kalos post-game
3) Alola post-game Gyms
4) 8 trials and 16 Gyms
5) Zygarde post-game plot in Kalos
6) Couriway Train bringing us to Kalos
7) New mega evolutions, especially Mega Flygon
8) Battle Frontier
9) Pokemon World Tournament
10) Battle Tree deforestation
They should remodel the Battle Tree into something like the White Forest/Black City towers. That’d be great for grinding.
……a train to get you to Kalos…………miles away….on an island
Underwater train hype
why not a submarine or a zeppelin or catapult
Because Couriway Train needs to mean something. Or maybe take a boat to Kalos and then Couriway takes us to Battle Frontier. Anything to give that place some actual purpose!
Gen 8 (on switch) should have a UK-based region with Kalos in the postgame (There’s a rl train from UK to France)
Yesssss!!!!!!!
8 trials
16 gyms
😮 We dont have enough types for that lol
Make early trials into Gym types so that they get a respectable challenge as well.
Then Gym Leader rematches where they have 70+ Level.
To be fair, Johto and Kanto didn’t have enough types to cover Gym Leaders and Elite Four!
This is true, but only 3 overlappings. With 8+16 Thats 6 Overlaps. Which Im ok with, if they do what TC said
The Couriway train could be like the Sea Train in One Piece.
That’d be awesome lmao. I hate Couriway Train for being such a tease.
I never really used it apart from the 3 or so times I had to ’cause I could just fly after. This one could be like the Goldenrod train to Kanto.
lol battle tree deforestation.
agreed tho
Bring back hordes. SOS sucks.
Just accept changes.
I didn’t enjoy SOS battles. So many times I was just trying to catch a Pokemon and I didn’t have paralysis on my team so the damn thing would keep calling for help and drawing out the process.
They should add a reverse effect Adrenaline Orb item, the Relax orb or something, to stop them calling much if at all.
This would work so well!
changes for the worse I don’t need to accept
Yes you do
second, granted i like SOS Shiny Hunting
why not both?
A Regular Pokemon can call another, and that calls another until there is
five pokemon. Brilliant!!
If they add a Relax Orb like Monkeyfuzz suggested, I’m all for both.
I think it was an issue because of the trainer also being on-screen. Idk why they just don’t have you off-screen for horde battles. I’d actually advocate combining hordes and S.O.S, but they can only call when there is only 1 remaining.
Mine Go’s to this
10. Something more than the few trials we got (we should have had 8 or if not that one for each type)
9. No more Plaza
8. Some more stuff about UB’s just random encounters in certain wild areas is not good
7. New area’s to explore
6. Easier Captures, like seriously 90% of Alolan’s new Pokemon had about an average of 10% encounter rates except like 10 of them
5. A better variety of old Pokemon that actually fit the region (like how Omanyte and Kabuto their fossils they are based on can actually be found in Hawaii, yet they put Sinnoh fossils their, and give us Solrock and Lunatone)
4. Some more Post game stuff
3. Some Johto Reg. Forms
2. Change of League order (or new characters)
1. New Pokemon
We kind of had 8 trials unofficially, the 7 official ones and then Po Town, which gave us the Bugnium Z
I don’t count that only due to it just being like battling the bad guys with our prize at the end, ex. Silph Scope in Kanto
Many had ridiculous encounter rates. I’d also like them to fix Beldum so it can be caught in a Heavy Ball.
The only e4 member I didn’t like being there was Olivia. I feel like Hala deserved another chance to battle you and the other 2 hadn’t battled you at all. I think Kiawe should have been there instead tbh.
Yeah Hala I like their I’m ok with Accerola (Love her character but I feel she shouldn’t be a E4 member) yeah not a fan of Olivia, Don’t like Golfer girl either
I mostly meant from a challengers perspective. We fought Olivia with a much more evolved team, Hala had Crabrawler, Mankey and Makuhita, none of which were that strong. Also Olivia didn’t use Gigalith even though she had a Boldore, Hala had all 3 of his evolved for the E4, so that irked me. Acerola is there because of Royal links I think. Kahili was pretty much a nothing, mentioned by a few people but no impact whatsoever.
Yeah I have to say Hala is one of my favorite characters along with some others
Because he has a personality and a part to play early in your adventure.
He was more a Professor than Kukui was and a good role model even in the show too because of his experienced past
Old Fart
Coco midsection
Freaky Loli
Probably a dude
Farewell to the best game I’ve ever played https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e9e20b0e834ed4eb3cf75daa45f7717d5b9160f2dc8204dac35bb838d2c244d2.jpg
What is it?
Persona 5
Oh, well it’s good you enjoyed it. Will you play it again?
I’m finally home from a party which means I’m FINALLY ready to start Arms! I hope you’re all ready for some competition… 😛
Depends. Are you gonna get mad over the apparent ‘grab spam’ posted about a lot.
Nope, because it’s actually avoidable if you have enough skill. It will be annoying though, and I’ll probably do it without thinking.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/73876d7c06bf4dcb674b3b5cf3a170e55c1839d2e758fa2d5155fa32be16cc3f.png
What a beautiful (uncensored) Duwang.
*chew*
…….nope
It makes more sense in context. Here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6S2Tj-3nmw
*Holding a crowbar* i sssaaaaaaaaid nope
I’m thinking how could Kanto be post-game? How do you block off Johto? I’d be more pissed that we could go back to Kanto and then not cross over to Johto as well lol. USUM won’t have 2 regions, but will probably have a Battle Frontier.
That’s why Kalos would make more sense.
Hey I have to say why was the characters I don’t like are the ones that got bigger roles in cameos of Sun and Moon
Cordless bugs me and I can’t stand Grimsley and never could, yet the rest got only stupid battle tree cameos that mean nothing
I happened to like Grimsley’s cameo. I thought it was cool.
Never liked him he acts too much like… Dartrix, just a self important d*co!
I only like it that may have been his Sharpedo he gave you (like Hala’s Tauros) cause he does use dark Pokemon
Nuzlocke Update! Who cares Amirite?
Just Received Plant BAdge from the Worst Grass gym Leader ever
# Pokemon Obtained since last time: 8 (24 in total)
# Pokemon Deaths since last time: 5 (6 in total)
Team: Oregano (Pansage Leaf Stone Where???)
BubbleBuddy (Azumarill)
Axe (Axew)
Orbies (Grumpig)
Laya (Dwebble)
Inky (Malamar)
I know you can buy Leaf stone in Lumiose, other than that idk, maybe from super-training?
new article jump ship
I sure hope it is like Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness. Where you can link your 3DS Pokemon games.
What do you wanna bet it’s a remake of Red/Blue/Green? And it only shows up three years from now. Since Nintendo.
Seriously though: Can’t afford a Switch. I bought a 2DS for $80 as my Pokemon-playing machine. I don’t need a TV console.
Looking forward to this. Do you think the 3DS will still get games though?
Still waiting for that Diamond and Pearl remake! 😀
