A much-anticipated update to Pokémon GO is rolling out across iTunes and Google Play which includes re-designed gyms and an all new badge system, but those trying to illicitly catch Pokémon may be less than pleased. Posted to Reddit by A Niantic staff member, the game’s developer has a new plan to combat use of third-party programs in order to keep gameplay fair.
With the announcement of Raid Battles and the new battle features, we are staying true on our commitment to ensuring that Pokémon GO continues to be a fun and fair experience for all Trainers. Starting today, Pokémon caught using third-party services that circumvent normal gameplay will appear marked with a slash in the inventory and may not behave as expected. We are humbled by the excitement for all the new features we announced yesterday.This is one small part of our continued commitment to maintaining the integrity of our community and delivering an amazing Pokémon GO experience.
While short on details, it certainly seems like a step in the right direction to make the game more fair for players who spend time exploring he real world to catch Pokémon.
In addition, the Fire &a Ice Solstice Event has been extended by 24 hours!
Ya know earthen, your mon is pretty simmilar to roggenrola now that i’m trying to draw it
Hey Earthen I’m planning a good idea inspired by you… You want a Ground/Fighting type? and love Rhyperior
Well I’m making it! Mega Rhyperior!
If you haven’t heard, we’ll likely see the new Pokemon game in 2018. I thought that was pretty obvious because GameFreak was hiring staff that worked on Wii U and PS Vita titles to assist with animations, character modeling, programming, and data work in March of this year. They’ve likely started planning and development about year or two ago. I’m excited to see this new Pokemon title! E3 2018 should be even more exciting next year.
they said it probably won’t be released for over a year. Probably spring 2019
I hope for some non main series games next year to fill the void
Maybe rangers?
Oooo Pokemon Ranger Deluxe 2018 Confirmed!
They said it probably won’t be released for over a year, but technically November of next year is over a year from now. Plus the communications director from NOA said in a recent interview that the Switch Pokemon game will come next year. We’ll have to see what actually happens, but it certainly is possible it could come as early as next year.
I have been sitting here for 10 minutes thinking of something to type and all I can think of is… Hi how are you doing today everyone?
I am doing good today, How are you?
I’m doing swell today thanks for reasking!

Yeah except here I created a bad storm and all my pool chairs fell in the pool
Oh sh*t, I didn’t know you were a god! How does it feel to create a storm?
Pretty easy I just woke up and flapped my wings about an hour ago and it just happened

This is the best part tho
…He sounded like Robin Williams, remember…?
;_;
“Payback’s a 3!7(#”
My Mom cried when Robin Williams died….
So did I, he was a legend, but he would want people to keep being funny, not cry over him every time he was mentioned…
OMFG!!! That is hilarious!!! XD
Going to sleep.Tommorow is my last day of school! I’ll draw a lot in the afternoon
I look forward to seeing the drawings and congrats on that last day!
That’s good I can’t wait to see them!
Draw with pride, even if you don’t feel confident, we do in you~
or we criticize you reducing your morale to a sniveling pulp
I’m not joining you there…
i had to get my dad at the gas station, what i miss?
Time for Steel Types.
Favorite Steel Type Leader/ Pokemon
Least Favorite Steel Type Leader/ Pokemon
General Thoughts on Steel Types?
Steven/scizor
Wilkstorm/that one wormadan form
I like it. Needs more special attackers.
You caught me one of my favorite types!
Favorite Leader: Jasmine
Least Leader: Wikstrom
Favorite: Steelix
Least favorite: Ferrothorn
I honestly love it! It has alot of Good qualities and can be useful in battle
Fav: Jasmine and Mawile (Mega)
Least Fav: Wikstrom and Wormadam
Gen thought: Steel types are awesome. Except for Wormadam-it’s trash.
Wow Wikstrom is unanimously disliked by everyone here I guess and Jasmine is Favored
I like Wikstrom. He has a pretty cool design
I don’t really hate more he is just under used in the game when he could have a great plot behind him
The Elite 4 don’t have plots behind them. They are just 4 strong trainers.
Flint would like to have a word with you.
Im saying in general. Of course there are some. But Malva is the one with the little Back story
Wikstrom and Drasna I hope if XY ever returns get more into it back stories (they are two of the most interesting looking) and focus less on the crummy Malva and Diantha
Malva’s got my vote. Her design is attractive, so waifu, so moe.
Well Jasmine was the first steel leader. And she was on of the few Gym leaders with more character in the games. You know due to the Lighthouse miniquest.
Yeah and Jasmine is just a nice looking character too
Fav leader: Byron the anime helped
Favorite: Excadrill need i say anything else, its a freakinjg badass mole with steel claws and a horn that can morph into a drill
Least Favorite: Ferrothorn, I. HATE.THIS THIIIIING
Thoughts: honestly me and Steel types have been growing apart lately, i really don’t like that many Steel types aside from Excadrill, Aggron and Forretress so far none are doing it for me no mo
I dislike Ferrothorn too they are so annoying
FL: Steven Stone. This cool sophisticated guy is my favorite champion. His design is just so crisp
FP: Aggron! Of Course Aggron had to win, Have you seen a Pokemon look as powerful as Aggron? No. you haven’t
WL: Byron. He’s rubs me the wrong way. He doesn’t really look like a steel leader, and His hair is just so weird. He also looks too young to be Roark’s dad.
WP: Bronzor: Going through Diamond with enemy having this thing is the worst. It just never dies.
General Thoughts: Steel type is one of my favorite types. It’s one of those types, when paired with pretty much anything it just works. Their designs are all really cool and powerful.
Favorite
Steven
Empoleon
Least favorite
Wikstrom
Klink line
Love the type, one of my favorites. Could use cooler designs though
🙁 I love Klink
Favorites: Steven Stone and Mega Mawile
Least Favorites: Byron and Bastiodon
General Thoughts: They are sturdy
No! Rock types have sturdy!
Fav:
JASMIINNNEEEEEE
Dialga/Escavalier
Least fav:
Wikstrom, mostly cause I like the others ones better than him
Forretress, its design just isn’t good imo
It’s around the middle for me. Love the defensive power they possess, but they are alright to me.
Fav: Steven, I guess. None of the others are very good.
Least: I dislike all the others. Jasmine’s team is trash, Byron is ugly, Wikstrom is ugly and from Kalos
Fav Pokemon: Magnezone!
Least: Klinklang and that ugly line. Sad they’re basically the only pure steel line
Except Registeel
How dare you say that about the Klink evolution line, buuuu~!
I just realized why the Green and Pink joy-con haven’t been announced yet, it’s so obvious. NoA is probably waiting for the Splatoon 2 Direct in a couple weeks, like they did with the ARMS Direct. I’m mentioning this because I’m really enjoying my yellow ones 😛
i gotta go back out since my dad locked his keys in the car and we had to leave it at the station
in my absence
Casc this is for you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPX1bctnpms
I love this video now
I like Menacing’s idea:
Favorite Ghost Leader/Pokemon?
Least favorite Ghost Leader/Pokemon?
Thoughts?
Mine:
Favorite: Agatha and Decidueye
Least favorite: Fantina and Gourgeist
One of my favorite types!
Heyyyy I did ghost like Last week!
*4 days ago* Its ok I can copy paste I guess
General Thoughts- Ghost Types are pretty cool. I used to think they were overrated because it seemed like everyone’s favorite type is ghost type. But now I dont understand they are just cool. Maybe they are overrated, but I can see why. Their designs are very cool, and who doesnt love the way Shadow Ball looks?
Fave Ghost Leader- Acerola. I just love her cute face, and attitude. The way she doesnt look like someone who would handle Pokemon of the dead.
Least Fave Leader- Shauntal. Meh He just isnt as interesting as the others. Also I still think Shauntal is a boyt. and since I dont see different I dont like him
Fave Ghost Pokemon- Gengar. His chubby body. His spiky back. His cute Smile. I just love this thing. I honestly didnt realize how much I love Gengar until recently. I can understand the massive hype for this. And its pretty good in battle
Least Fave Ghost- Spiritomb. It just isnt cool to me. I couldnt get it in DIamond because it was nearly impossible, it annoyed me so much. Plus it stole Sableye’s Niche.
Fav:
Shauntal cause author 🙂
Mimikyu/Froslass. Froslass cause I love her inspiration (hello the yokai yukionna :D) and Mimikyu cause it’s adorable af
Least fav:
Morty for me cause he’s just meh to me.
Shedninja. I just was never a huge fan of it
Near the top for me, I’m an offensive player, so I love its offensive prowess and most of the designs I like
Another Shauntal lover! 😀
I honestly think she is one of the cutest characters in Pokemon with the nerdier look on her
Definitely agreed, as well as the fact she is an author that doesn’t stop writing even when challengers come to fight her. <3
Wish I could nonstop write like that xD
Still don’t like the idea of lots of fan art shipping her with Grimsley
I kind of do, but as a shipper 24/7, I ship pairs all the time, including that one. Then again, I have so many that I can’t keep count anymore.
I mostly don’t see it cause I don’t like Grimsley
Yeah, that can break a ship for you and I can totally relate. I don’t care for Curtis (from the B2W2) so it’s hard for me to get into CurtisxRosa/Nate
True Yancy to me is really cute I forgot till I just looked her up how pretty she is
why do people ship, it sickens me
Cause we see two people (ficitional or not) that has some chemistry/similar traits and think it would benefit them both by getting together by growing together and individually.
Plus, love is amazing, why not see love in people/relationships?
because i’m cold bitter and lonely
So am I, I’ve been single since I was born and have had crushes that burned me by my fault or theirs, yet dwelling on the negatives doesn’t help you, it hinders you. When you love, it makes life so much brighter even if it doesn’t go the way you want.
just once i wish i could meet somebody that genuinely liked me
And you will. I’ve had 2 guys who genuinely really liked me, but I never felt anything for them (I still feel bad for it to this day cause I hate to be in that position myself and I so desperately wished that they find someone who loves them in that way). Love is worth going after, even if it does take awhile.
Just keep yourself out there and it will happen.
Trust me Earthen, if there are people who like me (who is hot mess #1 and not the best person), there will be people who love you for you unconditionally.
That is why you can’t befriend people very much in real life. You oughta plan trips to an arcade or some good sightseeing places with other people.
i can start by kicking you down a flight of stairs
Oh, nice comeback! I was just trying to help you come out of that shell of yours…
This is the norm for me everyone knows that
Would you say that to StarStorm? Huh?
yes, we’s tight
Someone’s looking to get the boot out of Pokejungle…
DICIE!!!
What did Dicie ever do?
I was screaming for help, genius…
why yes i am a genius
No, Earthen, t “genius” part was sarcasm…
She looks like a purple Velma except I don’t hate her
Why I love Acerola: the naughty smile, face just impossible to resist, and cheerful!
Favorite: Shauntal and Gengar
Least: Agatha and Gourgeist
They are alright not my favorite but I like them
Oh Shauntal and Accerola are my favorites actually
Acerola *heart eyes and nose steam*
Acerola (#2 for my waifu) and Chandelure
Favorites: Phoebe and Decidueye
Least Favorites: Acerola and Cofagrigus
Thoughts: They are spooky
Acerola and Mimikyu
Will and Dhelmise
Will isn’t a ghost leader
Will is psychic type??????
Not anymore
He got roasted so hard by Star that he died and came back as a ghost…..type E4
I could hardly remember his name how am I going to remember his type? Lol
Oh. Uhhhhh lol
I guess Agitha then
I would like to ask you something. Would ya consider Guzma you hasubando?
No because I’m gay
Ya sure? I think your face is red.
… Yes. I’m very sure.
That doesn’t sound very convincing. This is probably what you look like:
http://pm1.narvii.com/5794/54fc9a9a238d2645819a4e8cf33ca36d97b19b13_hq.jpg
Can you please stop
just give the word and i’ll put him in the iron maiden
You are all just poor sports. How can you dish out jokes when you cannot take a single one?
because you’re just being a total douche
You’re the one to talk. Your always slam the beliefs of others harder than you think.
Okay, I’ll tell a joke: Be nice, respect that you can’t change people’s sexuality and if you’re not able to, I’ll give you a temporary ban. How does that sound?
PS: I lied about the joke part, it wasn’t a joke.
From my POV, your ‘joke’ isn’t worded in a way to make it seem like a joke like the other jokes have plus I think it goes a bit too far. It just seems like you are harassing Star.
That’s how I see it.
Sorry but I don’t see how asking me who my husbando is then questioning my sexuality is a joke really.
It’s ok Trusk I thought you were pretty funny
The Pupa speaks not the truth
Mmmmm…Okay!
http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/01f78716a53c1570090266263a43478e1321761507_full.png
Nah she is way better looking
and black haired
how many times do we have to punch you?
Dude, I am always doging them:-)
…no….we would’ve murdered you tree times by now
stop asking people these kind of questions please.
hate all ghosts except Golurk
You hate Gengar? Idk why I feel like you are a guy who would like Drifblim and Gengar
I HATE THAT GRINNING GHOST SO MANY YEARS OF IT AVOIDING EARTHLY JUSTICE
I am not a ghost person
Honestly sometimes I wonder why you bother answering cause we all know you’re just gonna say you only like ground types ¯_(ツ)_/¯
this is not entirely true, i like other things but seriously look at all current Ghosts and tell me that i’d like anything but Golurk i mean its a giant clay robot thingy
Alright, fair, it’s a top 5 for me. Don’t you like palossand though?
ehhhhhhh its ok but i don’t like how the shovel constantly spins it irks me
i like other things like Yamask and technically Mismagius since i used it in my NU team last year and she was pretty effective
You like the fem witch pokemon Mismagius!?
Still think Drifblim could be a like from you
Why…..
Idk just seems like a Pokemon you would have as a backup member
no way its just a incompatible pokemon
Fav Leader: Fantina
Least: Acerola
Fav Pokemon: Decidueye
Least: Hoopa
Acerola/Marshadow
sabrina/palossand
Fav: Shauntalegend
Competitive Fav: Cofagrigus
Fav first stage: Yamask
Fav overall; Spiritomb/Dusknoir
Hate: Floprty
Competitive hate: none tbh all of them are good in their respectitive tiers
First stage hate: Shuppet
Hate overall: Mimikyu
Floprty? What the heck is that
the flop that is morty
Oh… How do you hate Morty? Nobody has ever hated him
i hated him
Yes Yes we know. ” I hate him because he’s the only male Ghost Type Expert. Females only!!!” blah blah
You’re so predictable Earthen.
Just let him stew in the mud of his own vulgarity and anger…I tried helping him and he attacked me, violated me!
Its ok, Friend. He does it everyone. Im on your side. Just don’t talk him. Then the pain goes away :>
Thanks MenacingCascoon. Let me come clean. I have always had the hots for Acerola.
he was just so bland
To be fair, you can say that about literally over half of the gym leaders/e4s
Morty is… ok
overall he really did not impress me tbh plus his team sucks (but like i understand that gengar was the only ghost type i think)
I think that the people who bug you in the streets to sell you shit are like the ads in shitty phone games but in real life
or just selling actual poo
Wouldn’t be surprised.
Uggh you just reminded me of the fight i got into with one of these guys yesterday…..
Oh damn
Or more like the street hookers. Once you agree to visit, they try to part you with all your money and they’ll leave you with viruses afterwards.
I actually forgot the Character Yancy existed and I regret it she is a really pretty character imo I hope if BW comes back she gets a part in the game again
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9350ac8ba1f2d73638ef638da84982d19783b973dda467aaaeb9f71b4aa58d04.jpg
I really like her design. It’s too bad her sidequest is really annoying. I would love if she came back
And I love the Pink hair
Same. Pink hair is just the best really
Except one person at my school whom it always looks terrible
R.i.p
Her sidequest is SO annoying
I actually totally missed The whole pokegear quest until the post game my first time through
Who?
Yancy she was sidequest character in BW
.. I don’t remember..
It’s alright I forgot her too
I wish Curtis was better *sighs*
Well, just finished Gokaiger. I have to say, I loved it from beginning to end. It really holds up as an anniversary series. There’s so much more I need to see/see more of: Jetman, Liveman, Go-Buster (I’ve seen the first episode), and Kyuranger (Same as Go-Buster), just to name a few.
Oh I like this idea of types! What’s everyone’s favorite Dark type Gym Leader?
System error
Clearly all the ones that exist.
Miss Karen and Mr Grimsley
Nanu is okay
Sidney who?
sidney no nose who!
That guy nobody remembers
Nanu doesn’t count since he’s a Kahuna and not a Trial Captain, imo.
Me https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c0c143722fbe1b2575cf062526985a6bdbdd7e08731df0c0615a357bf583b713.png
Are those your own badges? Those are nice!
Haha ithsme started a poke jungle league and held a tournament to decide the gym leaders. 8 of us won and became gym leaders but after that we all forgot xD
When was that?
A few months before SuMo’s release i think
I remember I still have the picture on my ipod
Dude I would totally fight you guys
Rip I remember this.
Glad to see how the other badges turned out
rip a great concept
Want to know what f*ck it I’m doing the full on thing
Favorite:Nanu, Weavile
Least: Grimsley, Alolan Persian
One of my favorite types
Just Favorite? Karen of Course
Favorites: Sidney and Greninja
Least Favorites: Don’t have a least favorite leader and Zoroark
Thoughts: They are sneaky
Fav:

Honchkrow, I just loves its concept and a giant dark bird amuses me
Least Fav:
Sidney, but that's cause I like the other ones more
Skuntank, it's alright really
Dark types are also cool too, they have some really bomb designs
Really though, all of the dark trainers are awesome, with Nanu coming out on top.
Fav:
Grimsley
Hydreigon
Least fav:
Sidney
Alolan Persian
So I’m seriously going to start watching Game Grumps again. I want it to eventually become a daily thing like it used to be, but I have a LOT to catch up on. For someone who’s missed the past 8 months or so, where should I begin?
I say watch their Sonic Boom Let’s Play.
Pokemon Fire Red
Shovel Knight Multiplayer
Undertale
Mega Man X
come to mind
Need Female Zubat Nickname that is Marvel Super Hero themed
Batma…oh wait
Hmmm Daredevil?
Oh shit but he’s not female.
Want to know what I’ll take it its sounds neat and works
Bat Women
Morbius?
Venomadam
Wonder Woman.
:trollface:
Elektra!
so if you had the ability to revamp any 5 abilities what would they be and how would you change them
defeatist- just remove the ability all together and give archeops some other crappy ability like run away lol
but i need Defeatist for my Manatee fakemon Moonatee
it started as a cruel joke but imagine being entrainmented
Prankster cannot be used in succession
Emergency Exit only activates at 25% health
Magma Armor reduces water damage
Anger Point increased the Attack if hit with a super-effective attack
Water Compaction raises physical and special defense one stage
Defeatist, Less than 25%
PPixalate- Refrigerate-Aerialate: back to 30%
Cant think of much miore
Ice Body reduce damage of super effective moves by 20%
and increases all fire damage by 100% (user faints if its a crit)
Truant: On the turn not loafing around, your attack is doubled like Huge Power.
sure and goes back down the next turn
it only activates when loafing
Thick Fat: In addition to its current ability, if the Pokemon is out for 5 consecutive turns, it faints. Fuck Mega Saur
FINALLY SOMETHING WE AGREE ON THAT THING IS JUST TOO DAMN BULKY
just use skarmory pal
what’s that gonna do? its still just gonna sit around sapping health with leech
unless its packing heat it will never kill it
Delta Stream, don’t know what I would change but it’s clearly too underpowered.
Dae’s clearly got dementia
I was joking, what the hell were they thinking when they made M-Rayquaza? I mean, it’s awesome as hell but they broke the game hard.
shhhhh shhhhh quiet now *smothers you with a pillow*
Emergency exit: make it optional and take place after your attack
Nooooooo! ? Groot the Sunkern died! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f94fa1a3b80c2174447c5a7c5520b709515be80b9d2c05c4d6f5ded6a572b96.gif
LifeSpan: Route 20 to Castelia Sewers
Level 2 to level 15
Cause of Death: Double hit from Assurance and Faint Attack by Sandile and Scraggy
Relaxed nature and somewhat stubborn
May you sow the seeds for Daredevil and more Pokemon to take on your place
We are Groot *3 finger salute from Hunger Games*
Don’t worry my next Grass type will be Baby Groot and I just caught She-Hulk the Roggenrola and am about to catch another in the Park or Route 4 (if accessable)
Nooooooo
Yeah it’s sad, but was replaced by two newbies now
Well I’m calling it a night and my team for today
Rocket- Dewott lvl.17
Storm- Flaaffy lvl.16
Iron Man- Magnemite lvl.16
Daredevil- Zubat lvl.17
She-Hulk- Roggenrola lvl.16
Wolverine- Skitty lvl.15
Badges: 2
Deaths: 2
Finally back
Eyyy! We missed ya buddy!
😀
You see the video I linked you in our DM?
from where
Welcome back
You know him well
so i’m sitting here playing wow while WTing on the side thinking another unsuccessful WTW
turns my neck for one second and bang shiny Jolteon, obviously a hack but free Life Orb
I wonder how the map for USUM will look. There’s gotta be a change like the ominous vortex for Sinnoh in Platinum or half the region covered with ice for Unova in BW2. Personally I’m hoping to see the remains of a horrible forest fire…on Poni Island…the northern part of the island..
who knows maybe some of the islands get cronenberged and are destroyed or split in half
They take the BW2 route and now Alola is frozen XD
i’ll do one better
the sea level has dropped traumatically and new areas
That doesn’t sound bad at all, like maybe the new areas could include undiscovered underwater caverns for you to explore
Make it actually increase and the temperature is always above 110 degrees , the Aether Foundation is now a climate change denial foundation and you have to battle for the survival of the islands.
I would rather my Pokémon games not broach topics that are too political. I mean they have already predicted that Barack Obama and Trump would become Presidents by heavily emphasizing the character Brock in the anime and Gumshoos respectively.
It’s actually sad that the climate has become to be seen as too political.
Person 1: “It’s been hot these days, innit?”
Person 2: “Sorry don’t want to discuss the weather, I’m not into politics.”
I was joking in my reply and thought that your idea is good. But I agree with your sentiment in that climate change can be considered a political conversation especially if you are not on a college campus. I currently attend a campus that has a strong marine science program and is in Miami so it is safer to talk about climate change as an academic topic. I’m not so sure about other campuses.
I knew you were, I was just lamenting on the fact that people like that really exist.
The concept of global warming was created by and for the Alola Region in order to make Aether manufacturing non-competitive.
I think we’ll go in a different order
I hope they build a wall around Alola
I get the feeling it might be BW2 Isshu like update.
The theory someone had was they possibly might extend to 8 islands which would be great but if they don’t the least I expect is a solid change 2 the region, new additions etc
Gotta say tension is real high -_-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlVWAuK33nI
O_O that lucky Tauros
I would like to say Midnight form will fit Olivia more.
I can’t even look at Ash with that design…blech!
Just finished binge-watching seasons 1 and 2 of Boku no Hero Academia. My god this anime is beautiful.
……Mt. Lady *runs away*
Well you aren’t done yet. Season 2 isn’t over yet. There is another 12-13 episodes left this year.
Wait wat
I thought it was gonna be like the first season with 13 episodes
Nope. There are going to be at least 24 episodes this season. The next arc is where the show starts to take a slight darker turn. I think you will enjoy it quite a bit.
Nice
