New Trailers Released for Pokkén Tournament DX

Two new Japanese trailers for Pokkén Tournament DX has been released and showcases more footage of the game which will be released September 22nd for the Nintendo Switch. In addition to the characters from the Wii U version, DX also includes brand new characters such as Decidueye from last year’s Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

The game also features new support Pokémon and new battle modes!

Are you planning on picking up DX and did you buy the original Pokkén Tournament? Personally I’m looking forward to purchasing it when it launches!

  1. Decidueye’s ultimate seems more flying type than Ghost type ?

    And I’m not very inyerested in the game tbh

  2. Latest rumours from Japan about the upcoming Pokemon game for the Switch

    >Main series RPG like the handhelds. Paths and routes will be replaced by more open hubs.

    >Will be a soft reboot with slightly altered mechanics. Will not be backward compatible with handhelds, i.e. no porting your pokes over

    >Will have a phone app tie-in that will let you battle and trade on your phone

    >Gyms are back. In addition to the normal gym leaders, there will also be online gym leaders where the game will keep track of regional, national, and global leaders for each gym. They leaders will be forced to defend their gym a set number of times each day.

    >new starters and legendaries, but otherwise no new pokes

    >Only 1 version, but RNG will be used to make different peoples games different.

    • Yeah, I’m calling bullshit

      It’s honestly too early and Pokebank could more than likely communicate between the switch and the DS

  3. We have been asking for Pokémon news for over a month now. Finally they have given us two trailers on the new Pokémon game. Unfortunately they are for the wrong game.

  4. Y’all I’m oddly excited for USUM. Even with so little info I’m hyped. I can’t wait to see why we start on Ula’Ula instead of Melemele!

  5. Playing 200cc and had a rough beginning to a race, but managed to get the Boo item into 1st place on the last lap. Then used the boo to dodge lightning xD

  6. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I swear next week better have Corocoro

  7. Why couldn’t Pokken have been a better game?!?!?! I love fighting games so when they announced a Pokemon one I was stoked! The controls are just so terrible. If they had made it more closely resemble it’s namesake Tekken then it really could have been a MUCH better game. the whole snap to and from close and long distance mechanic is just awful……What a freaking waste of a Pokemon game title…….

    • I’ve seen this on Bulbagarden. It does appear that Nanu’s Z ring matches the one from the trailer. Question is what does this mean? Do we get our Z ring from Nanu instead of Hala? Do we get multiple rings and can swap between them? It’s still a big mystery lol

      Reply
      • I could very well be wrong, but I don’t think you’d wear a Ring that’s not indicative of the island you came from. The fact that you get the Melemele Ring from Tapu Koko proves that they’re quite special and seen as important to the locals.

        Reply
        • True. That said it’s clear that your character is still from Meleme as we are seen in the hoping scene inside our normal house which is still very much on Melemele. I wonder if maybe the Kahunas could be swapped around. Nanu being on Melemele. It’d be interesting to see characters show up earlier or later than they did in SM lol

          Reply
          • That’s true too. We really are information starved, huh. It’s hard to say anything now, but I am glad I at least brought this to some people’s attention. I know some were saying it’s a new Z Ring, but I didn’t know if they still thought that or not.

          • Yeah we really need SOMETHING. It’s hard to continue to be excited about something that appears to be a game that we all bought last year with only minor upgrades. If they can give me something to be excited about I may jump back on board with this, but otherwise I’m not so sure lol

  8. Yaaaas, they showed Deci imputssssssss
    I love his combos, I’m certainly maining him
    He looks pretty damn good IMO , done a lot of research on it
    Pokken looks like an actual game this time around, I enjoyed the original so

    • There are some universal laws in the universe, like the first and second law of thermodynamics. There’s also a law saying that if footage exists of a Nintendo game, Gamexplain will reupload it.

  10. Question: Does Magcargo have btter defenses than Slugma? I’m at a point where my Slugma is Bing taken down relatively easily. It’s almost about to evolve, but I’m worried that even after it does it still won’t be able to take hits

    Reply
    • It has triple the Physical Defense and Double the Special Defense. Just remember it really can’t take Water or Ground attacks and is now weak to Fighting.

      Reply
      • Oh now that’;s super good lol It’s good to hear that. Also yeah I’m not too worried about Water/Ground weaknesses. I usually try to keep my Pokemon up against types they’r good against anyway. the fighting type is what I’ll have to look out for, but even then I’ll prolly be using my Crobat at that point anyway lol

        Reply
    • I’m actually glad it is. Seeing as the post game of Zelda is basically just you in the world before you fight the final boss again It’ll make it feel more like my accomplishments mattered lol

  11. Got Xenoblade X running on emulator, wondering if I should try to play it now or just continue my Wii U save. Seems like there are a fair amount of glitches still.

    Reply
      • Yeah, cemu. I’ve been a huge Dolphin fan. It does require ripping your own games to preserve integrity of the rom and a beefy pc, but nothing out of the ordinary. Xenoblade 1 looks soo good on Dolphin.

        Reply
          • Weird. Did you try the 5.0 stable release? It should have no issues nor require any keys when loading a rom. If a game won’t boot it’s a rom issue since Dolphin now has 100% boot up compatability.

          • Maybe i’ll try on my gaming rig, granted i’m not the sharpest axe in the corpse when it comes to tech

          • You don’t have to be, they tried to make it very user friendly in the past two years. I’ve you’ve any questions just ask me, I have a lot of experience with the program already. Make sure you download it from dolphin-emu.org, the other site is domain name seized fake.

          • ok i’m not gonna do it now but will think about it, where do you get your roms?
            Emuparadise or Coolroms?

          • i’m just not gonna bother, they say i should download a lot of things to play it and that scares me

  12. Persona 5 people! I have a question!! Who should I keep on my team? Morgana or Yusuke? I’m in the second dungeon now

  13. I’d really like to see what the other colours for the new Pokken characters are, have we seen them at all yet?

    Reply
  14. A thought occurred
    What if in the next upcoming episodes
    Lana technically didn’t catch anything and the writers wusses out on making Popplio evolve but
    Kiawe catches the rogue Marowak
    And during the Lurantis trial Mallow finds a Fomantis
    And lastly Ash’s Rockruff evolves during Olivia’s battle

    I want to see captures and evolutions

    Reply
  15. What if Serena appeared in one episode of Sun Moon and had a Delphox that she can transform into Serena-Delphox? (and a Pangoro)

    Reply
    • Because the writers wanted Ash to have a Mega, yet keep that tradition in tact where he only uses Pokemon native to the region

      Reply
    • As I said multiple times it was a way to give Ash a Pseudo Mega without actually giving him one
      And it completed the whole starter trio thing
      Grass Sawyer’s Sceptile
      Fire Alain’s Charizard
      Water Ash’s Greninja

      Still pissed to high heaven how they did it, it just throws lore and theories out the window and that rustles my jimmies

      Reply
      • Plus the fact the Pkmn Company made a video in dedication to Ash-Greninja, to hype us all for the Kalos League and then decided to kill it with a cheap Blast Burn.

        Reply
        • It was really unnecessary for him to lose again. Had he won he still wouldn’t be a Pokemon Master. He would still want to go to other regions and still have the same drive to win.

          Reply
          • Genuinely never saw the logic behind it. And apparently it was a last-minute decision as well, they were initially planning on letting him win.

          • It almost feels by this point it would actually be demoralising for him, it certainly is as a viewer.

          • Would have released him anyway because the writers dont want him to be ”overpowered” when he’s going to a new region

          • Yep although Pikachu did not receive a ”reset” in both Alola and Kalos so we’re making progress i think

          • I’m happy with his Alola team as well so far, If they all evolve he has a solid team to compete in the league

          • Yeah, I really hope they do evolve. I think Litten definitely will, as will Rockruff, I am worried about Rowlet but I think the groundwork is there in its’ backstory for it to evolve later on.

          • Rowlet reminds me a bit of his Oshawott but it has deeper backstory. If it at least becomes a Dartrix, i’d be satisfied. Decidueye not really an Ash Pokemon, although it would be cool if he finally has a Ghost type

          • I feel like because of the way it is it will just be an unconventional Decidueye, like how his other Pokemon have kept character traits throughout evolution.

    • Ikr, I’ve gotten so sick whenever someone uses on in battling, they’re all over the damn place on Showdown and SM.

  19. Pokemon Switch has all different controls for Pokken? Thats pretty lame. But Decidueye is pretty cool so I guess its balanced buuuut not really interested in Switch or Pokken. I prefer my pokemon games. Splat 2 looks ok. It honestly looks the same as the first one… Switch has nothing that interest me. Wheres the smash??? Wheres the new Pokemon game? Is there anything thats worth playing??

      • Well here are my Prehistoric variented Pokemon so far:
        Charmander line- Dragon
        Bagon line- Fire ⬇️
        Salamance- Fire/Flying
        Golduck- Poison/Psychic
        Rhyhorn line- Rock/Electric
        Snorunt- Normal ⬇️
        Froslass- Normal/Ghost ⬇️
        Glalie- Rock
        Treeko- Electric ⬇️
        Grovyle line- Electric/Dragon
        Duduo line- Ground/Flying
        Aipom line-
        Yanma line- Bug/Dragon

        Reply
          • -Snorunt changed to Ice during the Ice age which spared it from death, but changed its type. Goalie cause it looks kinda like a Rock already and Froslass just to keep Normal so the evolution wasn’t completely haywire

            -Golduck to justify its Psychic attacks and cause its similar to platypus’s and they use venom

            -Bagon actually has no reason I just like it Fire type instead

            -Rhyhorn are based now on Brontotherium also called “Thunder beast in Latin”

            -and Treeko just to give it a neat new idea

          • I thought it might be that Snorunt were like ancient people and like them had to adapt to the cold when the Ice Age came.

            Golduck has good reasoning, I like it.

            Rhyhorn sounds interesting, Brontotherium had thick skulls but small brains.

            What was Aipom?

          • Maybe it has a threatening predator in this time that needs the Fighting type but as that predator dies out it eventually loses it?

          • I think it needs to be something a Fighting typing would be helpful for that would change later.

  22. So apparently I’m not stupid and kept my Firered file because I knew I would want to return one day. I still have 9,999 coins and haven’t caught the legendaries yet, meaning I can soft-reset for them later. I could go for Porygon instead of Abra…

  23. I’m looking through the file of the used Pearl I bought a long time ago and discovered a bunch of legit-looking shinies along with some event Pokemon. Not sure what I’m going to keep but I hit a jackpot…

    Reply
  24. Well still am I’ll from the medication so how about what happens in the past of Pokemon in my game idea

    A special kid becomes one of the few recently evolved humans that obtains a Pokemon a special Psychic type that fell from the sky. So you receive a special thing Prof. Fern wants you to fill of the Pokemon (basically the first Pokedex) and challenge the 6 Leaders of the area and battle Team Cave led by the 6th Leader whom is the leader of the gang to control the Legendary and cross time in a worm hole. Upon defeating him you fight whats called the Elite Guards (the E4) and the King (Champion) to become King of the past

    After that it creates a large post game of sub challenges that explain stuff like (Necrozma, Mew, ect.) Then you obtain from the still remnant time hole, the Observer a secondary Pokedex that explains how Prehistoric forms became the forms we know and love.

    That is literally the whole plot of the game and post game so whatcha think?

    Reply
    • Pretty cool. My idea was kind of like Flint the Time Detective crossed with the game Ark where you are sent to the ancient past on a mission and you are sent stuff from the future to help you and you can buy stuff from the future at special merchant link points. I think mine is probably more suited to a spin-off title though.

      I think Pokemon pre-history can be vastly different from our own, so I think it should be early human civilisation as opposed to something like caveman times. I’m thinking like the humans in Ice Age.

      Although I like the idea that the leader is kind of Neanderthal like in stature.

      Also hope you feel better, maybe after some sleep you will?

  26. Ok so my alpha sapphire arrived yesterday..
    Until my 2DS comes through guess what I’ve been playing!? Platinum!!
    It’s been awesome just reaching the E4 now..
    ..and gotta say that Platinum is one complete game especially with team galactic.. I just don’t know how they’ll approach a sinnoh game again that’s how detailed and well polished Platinum was.
    But I guess on Switch graphics it would be amazing and my word is Distortion world amazing even on DS graphics..!!!
    Might replay HGSS now that I think about it once I’m done in Sinnoh!

  27. So not long before USUM news I’m sure of it!
    I have yet to play SM but they alongside the anime give me the impression that gen 7 is a simplified generation that focus on qulaity over quantity.

    Whilst for me it’s a must to have feature rich poke games I think after 6 long generations it’s nice to take a more simplistic approach in SM. I’m sure USUM will be the feature rich games again..

    I wonder what first USUM news we getting..
    And how will they approach the switch..What will gen 8 be like…
    So0oo00 many questions!

  32. So all that is left are Guzma and Lusamine at Aether Paradise. I am a bit terrified I am going to lose one of my last 5 Pokémon as I remember this Guzma battle being the hardest one in my Moon run. So if this is the end of my Sun Nuzlocke I want to put up my team while I still can. The pictures serve as reference for those who don’t know of the series Hunter x Hunter that I used to name my Pokémon.

    Clocking in at Lv. 40 is Feitan the Skarmory. He has unexpectedly been both resilient and powerful and has pulled his weight in Po Town. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b2d03e01d1e106ada9e54c7b8908bd0877850c8e
    e62e0623f3a7357a3ec66a59.png

    Also at Lv. 40 is Alluka the Shiinotic. A very unique catch that Was a slight endeavor to raise. However her eerie resemblance to the actual character from the Hunter x Hunter series allowed for me to develop a soft spot for her. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4faf19c36ee2e8cfc04d9beb8f4f2c8a16185975f61187fa314d68864dab8d45.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d2e8f3c8842e17383184bfc1b28ea5fa5a9216dce3fe1b5be97cf948796de716.png

    Of course Gon the Golisopod at Lv. 40. When I chose the naming theme I knew that I had to have him. As a Wimpod both him and Gon carry so much potential. With eventually both of them exploding with it and displaying what they are made of. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/87c6d9972540b443df17fcd8491bad20d342fc0fd2e8a46a9319e1b055be845e.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d30cd69238f51f21133aa693cf44169a87a82f5023b94c52a8fe8ea301bdec05.png

    Biscuit Krueger the Wishiwashi at Lv. 41. She may have a small form at first. But her actual form packs both a wallop in size and power. I am a bit apologetic that I couldn’t find a better picture of her true form.
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b07ac39e9e7bbe291cd3a94efd25599f9a3b4287bdeb840ed7f289d7bb252fc.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eda0e7fddf6e754de09d38d9376190ba9c4501bc00c90b22a25b2d79fe80bcb9.jpg

    Finally at Lv. 42 is Neferpitou the Incineroar. My starter since the beginning and one of the Pokémon that I hope I will take with me to the end. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2959cdf91eb1c256054f7623680fab7d6a165917765263d0c1005974925b99e5.jpg

  33. Teaching Feitan Rock Tomb really paid itself off. Guzma’s Golisopod was still crazy tough. It nearly took out Feitan and Gon and took several Rock Tomb’s and a First Impression. If only they gave it an ability like Intimidate. It would definitely be OU.

  35. I tried checking my old (second) Animal Crossing Wild World game (the first one got stolen) and put it in the DSi. “No game card inserted”. Put another game in the DSi, that got recognised, but AC in my 3DS, no luck. I was almost beyond broken when I knew there was a chance in cleaning the contact with a qtip and some rubbing alcohol. So I tried that, and nope. I had almost given up when I tried cleaning a second time and this time it worked!

  36. I’m considering getting a Guardians Rising booster box from Amazon. I used to be the biggest fan of collecting them but it must have been 7 or more years since I opened one. Might as well start again with the newest set, right?

    Reply
    • Not a bad choice, but make sure you always buy a shrink wrapped box from an official retailers. Unfortunately, booster packs can easily be sorted to find the EX/rare holofoil ones (it’s always the third booster if you go down the pile) and therefore buying single boosters are likely sorted ones.

      Reply
    • Always buy booster Boxes off Amazon. If you look at the Pokemon center site they’re like $50 more expensive there. Pokemon be price gouging. I’m also considering buying a booster box at some point. I’ve bought a couple for my channel and they were fun to open. Problem is money. Gotta pay bill first before unloading $100+ on Pokemon cards lol Maybe I”ll wait for Burning Shadow and that way I can get one closer to release date lol

      Reply
      • The one I’m looking at is $88, which is a bit steep but honestly not as bad as I was expecting. The seller is also highly rated so…what could possibly go wrong? I might wait for Burning Shadows at this point as well, but I need to see what’s in the set.

        Reply
        • No really $88 is a good price. Most boxes are at least $100. The PC has the newer ones for like $140. Either way getting it for $100 or less is a good deal seeing as the average price of each pack is $4-5

  40. I’m down to only 3 Pokémon. And there are really only 7 more places to catch Pokémon for me and that includes the Legendar-who I am not planning to use in my playthrough. Considering how strong Bewear was against my team and that I have to face Lusamine again. I am going to need to make sure I get something that I can use against her or that Alluka the Shiinotic is strong enough when it learns Moonblast to solo it.

      General thoughts: I always have a ground type pokemon in my party (pretty much to handle electric types), and I like a lot of them. Same can’t be said for rock though…

      Reply
    • Oh this’ll be rich…….
      Favorite: Giovanni and Rhyperior, Giovanni is not only the leader of a powerful crime syndicate he is also the strongest Gym Leader in Kanto and though it is pretty much manga exclusive he is a extremely knowlegable master of Ground type pokemon even going as far as writing a book on them (Mysteries of the Earth and even being dubbed Giovanni of the Land) and discovering that Rhydon could evolve further, and as for Rhyperior he is basically me in pokemon for, a towering behemoth coated in rocky plates and drills and even going far as having a club on its tail which is totally me and its once signature attack Rock Wrecker just screams power
      Least Favorite: Hapu and Wormadam, Hapu is just somebody that didn’t leave a lasting impression on me, she just barely registered her presence or her ideology (or i haven’t paid too close attention, and as for the Bagworm it is truly the worst it would’ve been better as a Rock type

      Anyone who knows me or have heard of me it is pretty fucking clear that Ground type pokemon are my god damn life, i have a connection to the earth element spiritually and willfully and Ground type pokemon represent a strong tenacity to embrace any type of challenge and send quakes of strength to conquer it
      i always find a Ground type and make it on my team no matter what and a young Earthen once spent literal day on pokemon Red looking for a Sandshrew to match the toy one he kept with him all the time, in his pocket in bed and the freaking tub and cried for days when he lost it at the beach

      Gliscor, it was one of the very first Mons that I loved since I was little, it’s cool, kinda cute and very useful competitively

      Bertha, kinda unusual for an old lady to be a ground type trainer which makes me like her more and the fact that she isn’t the typical cliche ground trainer

      Least:
      Golem, because is weird looking, outclasses Gigalith and is kinda ugly imo

      Clay for killing 2/3 of my team in my current Whitelocke :<

      It's better than rock in every aspect, the Mons have a nice variety within its Mons and some of them are very interesting (Golurk, Claydol and Flygon. Who have nice designs) They're are very powerful and honestly, there are a lot of mons in this type that I like, like Camerupt Torrtera and Palossand.

      And they're the best earthquake spammers out there.

      • Crime Leader/ Sweet old LAdy/ Country guy/ Nice girl. What’s the ground stereotype.
        I also agree and forgot to mention ground is definitely a better Rock type. I kind wish they merged the two to make Earth but oh well.

        Reply
        • Hapu isn’t really a “nice girl.” She’s more of a “country girl” type character if anything, which is where her ground type comes from

          Reply
          • it really just comes from her clothes i mean the dull earthy brown, honestly if you changed her outfit you wouldn’ve never seen her as a ground user

          • She’s written (in the English version at least) with an accent though. I think her clothes fit her personality and demeanor, you could change them, but not away from something that says “small town country farm girl” in my opinion. Ground fits her well enough.

            Now that I think about it, a lot of types just don’t really fit their trainers. Look at the basic ass psychic experts who all have psychic abilities because GF isn’t creative enough to connect other ideas with the psychic type. Lucian I guess is the most creative there. Psychic trainers are a snooze fest. And then we have random ass Acerola who is for some reason a ghost expert. I guess at least she’s different and not edgy. I also suppose though that you can specialize in a type that doesn’t necessarily match your personality and appearance, but GF likes to try and pair the two things. You don’t see Nanu as a fairy type Kahuna, now do you

          • Honestly idk how I picture her sounding. I still cannot for the life of me tell how old she is

          • I guess if I had to guess, I’d say she’s no older than 25, but definitely not younger than 15. So I’m guessing she’s just not very tall

        • When I picture ground trainers, I think of hikers, so for me, the typical ground trainer was the thought country guy, but I haven’t realized how much variety they really have until now :0

    • FP: This is hard… I think it may be a tie this time between Rhydon and Trapinch. I seriously cant pick one. Rhydon is one of the coolest Mid-stage Pokemon and can easily pass off as a final evolution (as it did for 3 generations). And its not as fat as its final evolution. Its still slim enough to chase after you, and can be used in battle. Trapinch is just so cute. I love its star eye, and its adorable big mouth. I like how it digs sand traps. Thats a pretty cool concept. And it has the same attack stat as Flygon (Flygon is disappointing).
      FL: Clay. I like his country accent. He isnt a mean person either. And Like all his gold. he’s definitely high class. Hes also got pretty cool Pokemon. Excadrill ace is always nice.

      LP: Rhyperior. Incredible how the Final evolution is now my Least Favorite. But its just so ugly to me. The ‘bulk’ just looks like a bunch of fat. With Eviolite Introduced Im pretty sure Rhydon is the better wall. Just wish Rhydon got Solid Rock. That whole trade evolution is also bogus. Just a bad Pokemon. Its only use is Evioliting Rhydon.
      LL: Giovanni. Its not that I dislike Giovanni. I just think its weird hes a ground type leader. And in FRLG he doesnt even use Rhydon. Just a level 50 Rhyhorn. What type of bogus is that?

      General Thoughts. Ground types are ok… It was hard for me to find a favorite. If I put all the types together they just dont appeal to me. EQ is the only good thing from me. They are definitely on the lower half the spectrum of favorite types.

      Reply
      • Oh shit…you might as well have just punched Earthen in the face.

        I agree on the Giovanni part though. I don’t understand how ground fits him at all. Like I get that dark type wasn’t around yet, but I think being a normal expert with Persian and Kangaskhan as aces would’ve fit more.

        Reply
        • Omg Thank you!
          I was seriously gonna say he should have been a normal type, but I opted not to. But I seriously agree. Normal type is actually a good type for gym leaders. Persian Kanga Tauros Snorlax Dodrio. I just dont think Ground fit him either.

          Lol Puhlease, it’s up to Earthen if he wants to be offended

          Reply
          • Normal does work a bit better, though like I said, I do love me some trainers who have a bunch of types 🙂

          • Tbh I don’t really remember him screaming “ground type” in the manga either. I love the idea of him being a mixed trainer with

            Rhyperior
            Persian
            Honchkrow
            Beedrill (mega)

            Then maybe like Kanga/Nidosomething

    • Favourite Pokemon: Gliscor, I just love that grimace and it’s just such a great looking Pokemon. http://pa1.narvii.com/5740/e4709f0f03477f03d849e4eaf61b4f6c9aaba338_hq.gif
      Favourite Leader: Bertha, she seems so nice, she can also be challenging. http://31.media.tumblr.com/19a6e8cea03ff81f5609decb8f6a2974/tumblr_mjtg8d5igQ1r3ifxzo1_500.gif

      Least Favourite Pokemon: Alolan Dugtrio, I still just don’t like it, the short haired one is the worst.
      Least Favourite Leader: Clay, just not that interesting to me, I like his gym though.

      I love the Ground type, so many great Pokemon, such a powerful type, even if attacks tend not to vary much (Earthquake) in usage. Other favourites of this type: Gligar; Cubone Line; Phanpy Line; Swinub line; Sandshrew line; Nidoking and Nidoqueen; Kanto Diglett line; Wooper line; Larvitar and Pupitar; Ryhorn and Rhydon; Onix line (+Mega); Kanto Geodude line; Marshtomp line (+Mega); Numel line(+Mega); Trapinch line; Whiscash; Claydol; Groudon(+Primal); Torterra; Gastrodon (Blue more than Pink); Gible line; Hippopotatoes line; Drilbur line; Golett line; Sandile line; Landorus Therian; Diggersby; Zygarde (+formes); Mudsdale and Sandygast line.

    • Favorite Ground type: I’m pretty sure you all know which one is it.
      Favorite Gym Leader: Giovanni – I thought that the concept of having a Gym leader that was the Villainous Team Leader was smart, which made the player’s desire to defeat this last gym leader greater.
      Least favorite Ground type: Diggersby – I was so horrified that Bunnelby evolved into this wreck.
      Least favorite Gym Leader: Hapu – She’s just kinda… there….

  45. I finally got back into the mapping mood 🙂
    Here I have route 3, which is a small route connecting 3 places: The main city from the left, another route to the south, and route 4 to the right.
    After that, I have route 4 which connects to route 3 from the left. I think it’s pretty cool! Let me know what you all think of the colors — I wanted a more vibrant/tropical green but I didn’t want it to be too harsh.

Why are they maiking a core Pokemon game for a console (which obviously will be cancelled or moved to the 3DS successor, hopefully)? Why is it that the Pokemon series is in shingles now a days? The Monster Rancher series always did the right thing when they wanted to add something fresh, or keep something fresh.

  60. I hope in USUM they bring back something similar to Black Tower/White Treehollow for the post game. It was so much fun climbing the tower! I was able to use my actual team and it felt like I was actually doing something constructive rather than feeling like I was climbing a never ending ladder with almost impossible trainers to beat on it. Unless you REALLY know your stuff about the metagame things like the battle tree are useless to regular peeps. At least Black Tower and White Treehollow felt accessible.

          • I don’t actually play that much, I take a lot of breaks. And usually I end up playing less than I want to play.

          • Oh, I tend to do the opposite, I get engrossed in a game, lose track of time and get a headache.

          • Lately I’ve been trying to beat a short game over the course of a weekend. Last week was long so I did the Journey Collection and Until Dawn, then this weekend I did Puppeteer. I have a big backlog of quality games and I’m going to slow my game purchasing down until I can get through more of them.

          • I tend to get into stuff (And I mean really into stuff), and then lose interest after a while. There are some exceptions.

          • Yeah, I know what you mean. Although I have an obsessive nature and tend to find it hard to stop until I complete the bit I’m on even if I’ve lost interest/enthusiasm or got majorly annoyed with it.

          • Obsessive Compulsive. It has many aspects for me, being clean is probably the biggest one, as well as doing things a certain amount of times. But there’s more than those and it affects everything really.

          • I think I have OCD too, but it hasn’t been diagnosed. Like, I have to keep my amiibo in a certain order, or keep my game cases straight in the shelf I put them on. Oddly enough, I don’t obsessively clean my room.

    SM: 2.5 months

    Reply
    • I was just doing some of the math myself. They didn’t even reveal the covers for B2W2 until 101 days before release. 18 days after annonuncement. USUM was announced ~160 days before its release and we are right now in ~120s. This is my opinion, but I played both BW and B2W2 an I’d say my experience playing both was fun. So I am not stressing that much over the fact that we haven’t had any info thrown at us.

      Reply
    • I always forget that BW2 had a really small time line between the first info release and it’s release. that said it was in the time when releases were staggered for international audiences and that in it’s own way can justify the short timing. Even if it released in June in Japan coverage was still going on elsewhere. Anyway I’m hoping we at least get an announcement of an announcement this month. I’m sure we’ll get more next month tho…..

      Zekrom, cool and sleek design, wonderful typing and signature move and a nice legendary in general

      Iris, fun and interesting character

      Least:

      Dragonite, meh

      Lance, boring character, overrated and nothing special, also his team sucks

      The type is boring to me tbh, few mons are interesting and they’re just the same over and over again for the most part, but since gen 5 they’ve become more interesting to me

    • FP: Druddigon- I love the crimson head and the blue body. This pokemon just screams cool awesome! and I know a lot of pokemon hate this pokemon, but I dont see how! The spikes man! This pokemon is just so awesome. Though it may not be the best in battle, it can still do some work!
      Fave Leader: Clair. Just like her strong personality! She has so much confidence and such a big ego. I can see why! Her pokemon are really good!

      LP: Vibrava. This pokemon embodies disappointment. It cant do anything good. And its evolution mega is scrapped. Its first stage has higher base attack! Vibrava is disappointing.
      LL: Drasna! Shes just a sweet old lady… Thats it. Her pokemon arent good… Shes not good.

      Thoughts? Who doesnt like Dragon types? (Earthen? Yea probably not) They are easily one of if not my favorite. I had a hard time looking for LEAST favorite. Dragon types were so strong they needed a nerf! They have such cool designs and they seriously are have the best pokemon.

      Least favorite:Clair/Regular Rayquaza

      Reply
    • Favorites: Drake / Altaria
      Least Favorites: Clair / Druddigon

      General thoughts: They’re mythical Pokémon. They’re hard to catch and raise, but their powers are superior. They’re virtually indestructable.

    • -Favs:
      I don’t like any of them. I guess *GAME* Iris if I had to choose. Her champ theme is unbearable, but her team is actually cool and original unlike overrated Lance with 3 Dragonites.

      Call me basic, but Garchomp is my favorite dragon.

      -Least: Clair. I just…idk. She’s a selfish brat. Yeah, she does change, but I can’t believe she wouldn’t give us the damn badge until we proved ourselves at the dragon’s den and then she still threw a tantrum. What a bitch.
      My least favorite dragon pokemon is Kommo-o, followed by Turtonator and Drampa.

      -General thoughts:
      It’s just overrated…I’m glad they introduced fairy as a counter even if I don’t really like it too much. I can largely avoid this type, especially since most are legends.

    • Favourite Pokemon: Zekrom, the design is just so good. The typing and the way it fits in with the design too. It’s the only legend I might shiny hunt in Omega soon. http://static.tumblr.com/qekp4xl/0ROlnke5t/tumblr_lfwsiljmh81qbj1hto1_500_1_.gif
      Favourite Leader: Lance, dude has a cape and just is a cool guy. He can also be pretty hard to beat if you’re unprepared. https://images.discordapp.net/attachments/298861432672354305/333836364191891456/IGaKgVm.gif
      It was actually tough to choose between him and Clair though, so I pick her too, she is beautiful and strong, my Johto Waifu. She’s also a pretty tough battle, can’t just rely on Ice with her Kingdra. https://68.media.tumblr.com/34f327681e49f486b131cc171797b360/tumblr_n36dmy3YyZ1rsrk2xo1_500.gif

      Least Favourite Pokemon: Palkia. I just prefer others.
      Least Favourite Leader: Drasna, she looks nice but that’s about all I can glean of her character, so she’s kinda dull.

      Personally I love Dragon types, it’s in my top 5, but then I have always loved Dragons since before Pokemon so maybe that’s part of it. Other favourites of this type: Dratini line; Kingdra; Flygon; Altaria (+Mega); Bagon line (+Mega); the Lati@s duo (+Mega); Rayquaza (+Mega); Gible line; Dialga; Giratina (both formes); Axew line; Deino line; Druddigon (grew to like after using it to catch Groudon); Reshiram; Dragalge; Tyrunt line; Goomy line; Noibat line; Zygarde (+formes); Jangmo-O line.
      I do think they are perhaps treated with a bit more disdain than they deserve at times. Also well done to GF for balancing it with a type that is more OP than it.
      I also like Dragon Moves, they often look really cool.

      Reply
    • Favorite: Flygon as much I like this typing and have a few other favorite Dragons, Flygon will always have a special place to me since it was the very first Dragon type Pokemon I’ve ever used. And ever since I would always have it apart of my team in a playthrough if you could catch a Trapinch in game. Seriously I have at least 6 in bank from using it so much xD
      Leader: Hm there’s not a gym leader I really favor .-. maybe Drayden. Wait Drake! my favorites seem to lean towards Hoenn
      Least Favorite:…Guzzlord?
      Leader: Probably Clair
      Over all thoughts, I love Dragon types. It zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is an amazing typing and on my top 3 favorites. It was hard to even think of a least favorite for both the Pokemon and leader actually. Especially the Pokemon, there’s not one I dislike tbh

      Also sorry for the Z’s I decided to keep it, because I’m still in denial that XY didn’t have a sequel
      Jk a kitten I’m taking care of sat on the keyboard XD

  79. I’ll be extremely disappointed if they don’t have a shred of USUM information in this Corocoro. I’m sure they’ll pull a “huge scoop for next month” type of deal, but seriously, this is not how I would have liked them to handle this hype season.

    Reply
    • Plot twist: they have fucking nothing on USUM to show because they shifted development of the games not so long ago, with the Switch game supposed to take place this year but Nintendo made them delay it due to Switch supply issues and potential for bigger sales next year. They now had little than a year to rehash SM assets in creating a new game.

          • I’ve played all zelda games excluding Breath of the Wild and i personally think it’s terrible.

            I exaggerated bit in my first comment though, it’s also better than phantom hourglass,Zelda II and Tri force heroes :/

          • There really isn’t a particular reason. I didn’t​ play the original and I loved oot 3d, and every where I went on the internet everyone was going crazy about mm3d. But when I played it, it just seemed boring. The dungoens where few and the few ones were bad,the plot seemed like it was thrown together without any real thought,i heard the sidequests were the best part but there were only one 2 ones. It wasn’t​ as dark as people made it out to be and the theories about the games plot was just overthinking.

          • I think I’d have to agree. It’s naturally a very divise game, but I feel it doesn’t live up to the rest of the Zelda. I don’t like ingame timers and for me Zelda is all about peaceful exploring and puzzle solving at your own pace, where MM leaves a bit of a sour taste everytime.

            Also, it is also a very confusing game, with you having a hard time knowing where you need to go. Compare that to BotW, which has little handholding, but makes exploration and finding your own path become a satisfying experience rather than a chore.

  80. I want to bring attention to a Dutch phenomenon in what I call: ‘schrale’ music. Basically, it’s German schlager type or heavy electronic basses with ridiculously outrageous lyrics and I wonder if native English speakers have ever heard such music and if they know some similar English bands that fit this naritive. Some songs that charted the billboards in recent times to get you up to speed:
    Check them all out because there’s some cringeworthy stuff in all of them

    This song is about ‘pumping’/pushups
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlaki1uw0Hc

    This song had a bit of controversy since it’s about being a child of the devil (“I hope you play this at my funeral” per the lyrics)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKLrKMz-avE

    This is about a garden hose (“Honey, is your plant dry? My hose sprays a lot”)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGybiRfkBhE

    Controversial lyrics and even worse video clip (“If your bitch wants to chill, that’s no problem, then I come to her because I have booze and drugs”)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_swivbEsD50

    This one is old but more in the schlager style. This song is innocent though.

    • Depends on if they think the audience will be high enough for it to be profitable in cinemas. I saw the first Pokemon movie at the cinema, for some reason they didn’t release the others after that, which is weird ’cause I think it made loads of moneys. Japan is different, Pokemon has remained huge there.

      Reply
        • “In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the original series, were released in theatres” wikipedia. My assumption would be that after that they had fizzled out of significant theatrical release profit in the US. We only got the First movie here afaik but that may have also had limited distribution of the second and 3rd. 4 was definitely straight to DVD here.

          Reply
          • Yeah and speaking of movies, one thing I’m very surprised at though is in America they showed Yo-kai Watch the movie in 70ish theaters across the country for one day. Really shocks me they still put it on the big screen even though the game sold poorly in comparison of bigger titles (yet still no sign almost a year later of becoming a DVD :/)

          • I don’t know the reasons there. The DVD thing may be a US distributor issue or it may just not have enough funding behind it.

    • I don’t know the process of getting a movie to theatrical release but MonkeyFuzz is probably right. Pokemon films aren’t as big of a deal as they were in 1997

      • He’s not always honest though, like when Black leaked his coverage was based on the ROM version. He did buy the game online though, but it only arrived three days later and he tried to argue that was his only copy. Even though it was obvious it was the ROM since he encountered the anti-piracy measures.

    • I agree that haven’t been doing too good of a job with explaining what USUM truly is. I am hoping that they will do a new trailer sometime this month or next. I think they need to start advertising for it soonish. It comes out in November so I think that they need to start doing trailers sometime this month or next if they are planning on recovering some good faith, since a lot of my friends that preorder USUM have canceled their preorders. I usually wait for the first good trailer and then I go and preorder whichever copy of the game I want. I think most of the staff are working on whichever main series game that is coming out for the switch. I think that is the main focus, but still think they need to be advertising and promoting USUM. I figure they could potentially give the tapu’s alternative forms like they did with the therian forms for the genie trio.

  86. Hey my friend Trusk would like to apologize for his recent behavior in regards to how he talked with Starstorm about the Nintendo Switch. He is very passionate about pokemon and is genuinely concerned that it is being used as a sales tactic.

Thank you for your time 🙂

          • Are they really “new” tho? There are so many Gamestops that force people to buy copies of “new” games that they themselves open. You never REALLY know lol

          • Basically anywhere else. I usually go to Best Buy tho. I’ll admit if you only have a Gamestop around I guess there’s not much you can do. I just hate playing their mind games just so I can buy a single game. So many times they’ve lost preorders or tried to up sell me or one time even I went in there to just browse and ended up buying a blister pack of Pokemon cards. then when I was checking out the guy asked me if he could open the pack to he could have the pin inside…….Never again………..

          • Ooooooooh yeah. And even if you can’t blame Gamestop itself for the weird misconduct displayed by the employees I still don’t trust it as a company. Gamstop clearly has some weird mandates like having their employees try to up sell or like how I mentioned where they open new games instead of just selling you them plastic wrapped. It’s basically so they can turn around and keep you from returning games you don’t want and forcing you to take a smaller chunk of change. Like if a family member went there to buy a present, but you didn’t want what they got and tried to return it. They’d basically have license to tell you they can’t give you the full amount as it was opened already. It’s such a scam

  90. So I beat Clair last night. All my Pokemon were level 36. I ended up having Bellossom poison Kingdra which was the biggest obstacle. Honestly thinking tho Gyarados was the hardest Pokemon on her team for me. Don’t have a electric type so rock was all I had and both my Pokemon with rock moves were potentially at risk to water type moves. Either way once the both of them were down I had my Mamoswine take care of the two Dragonairs. It was really much more simple than I thought it’d be lol

        And one other little fan theory the idea of Ultraification to specific Pokemon, where you take a fragment of Necrozma and envelopes the selected Pokemon with Ultra Armor, we all saw a Black Crystal be inserted into the Z-Ring and then twisted something is definitely up

      • I just think this is an indication because the steelbook basically confirms what the box art will look like, yet they haven’t revealed that yet. It would make sense to release a trailer soon with the standard box art and more general information.

      Least favorite Pokémon is either Bibarel, although that has some love in it due to HM slave so I’ll go with Volcanion. That dude is really ugly. Cress is also the least interesting leader, didn’t really like the triplet thingie.

      Overall, I give water type a 7.8/10.

Though I used to think this pokemon was Water/Grass, but nonetheless I love it, and with its new found Drizzle ability this Pokemon was top tier in gen 5! Loved the Politoed Appreciation
      FL: Juan. A lot of people hate Juan because ‘replaced’ Wallace. You guys dont understand Juan trained Wallace! Wallace being a gym leader was just part of the training. Juan is better than Wallace. Wallace might have ‘became’ champ, but he definitely didnt deserve it.

      LP: Pelliper. It may be nice have you top drizzle user like Politoed, BUT I will never forget all the annoying Pellipers in emerald. With Protect that always worked. Im so glad roost wasnt introduced then. (This was a stretch pick I like almost all water types)
      LL: Cress. What was his personality? They should have been latergym wise, and used Triple/Rotation battle! It would have been perfect.

        • Well if you’re driving without a license then you’re in trouble. Ina very simple sense you don’t need to have an id, BUT if you want to do things like drive and buy alcohol then yes you do. There’s no law saying that you NEED it, but being able to do things require it.

    • Most people use their Driver’s license as their ID in the US (and most people in US have a license, its pretty much needed), but if you dont have a liscense then an ID is needed

        • Yea exact opposite (depending on place), but things in US are much more spaced out, and public transportation is very limited people get their liscense the day they turn 16 usually

          • We only can get one from age of 18 but need an ID from age 12. Also, most people fail once or twice on their driving exams.

          • Why would it be strict? You’re in ten government databases anyway since they need it for education and healthcare purposes and to know where you live. Having an ID from age 12 helps identifying kids when something goes wrong or when they want to order a beer at age 16.

          • Eh when you put it that way I suppose…The things going wrong healthcare part anyway. Here most place card anyway so it doesn’t make too much difference if kids have ids or not. If a restaurant/store don’t think yo’re old enough just by looking at you then they ask for id anyway. Some ask regardless of what age you look.

          • 18? I wish it were 18 here. 16 is too young for driving IMO, but but besides permit (sbasically a mini license obtained at 15) there is no identification for people under 16. Parents have to go out and do those “If my child gets lost” cards that is not required at all.

          • It’s surprisingly hard to fail a driving test here… I did so poorly on my first one — hit a cone while parking, messed up my 3 point turn, etc. The passing criteria allowed you to get like 20 points deducted out of 40 or 50 I think? And keep in mind we’re tested on stupid easy things like how you handle turning a corner.

          • Not to brag, but I only got 5 points off my score. And it was for driving TOO safely……..Well I think it was mostly for driving too sluggishly, but I disagree with that lol

          • I think test difficulty are the same, most people do fail their first time. It also depends on location since it is common that on of the driving facilities is much easier to pass than other. But Driver’s test are usually ‘easy’ they test on the basics. I passed with flying colors, but I still was obviously bad at some aspects (like turning). Plus you need to miss 30 points which is a lot. Personally the permit test wwas much harder

          • Permit test was definitely harder. That was more about like the rules of the road (which can be super specific), and signs (which are generally easy because the picture tells you what it’s for). I was way more nervous about it than my driving test. Given that I was 15 for my permit and 18 for my license, had a lot of driving practice. Cones are just my worst enemy — I do much better with actual cars. And I can parallel park perfectly, but they don’t test you on that!
            I looked up the criteria again for Florida’s driving test, and there’s a lot of easy stuff on there (like backing up, starting and stopping, etc.). And there’s definitely differences. I did my test on one of the practice course things they had, my brother did his on an actual road. In Florida we don’t have to park uphill, because there aren’t hills. We just say how we would park verbally (also got points deducted there because I didn’t start by saying “put the car in park”…I assumed it would be already).

          • Don’t you need to do a firearms test in Florida in case you get caught up in a road rage incident? 😉

          • Hitting a cone while parking would mean your test immediately stops and you’ve failed. Hell, speeding 2 miles is a big error and one more strike and it’s also over.

          • In most test in the US if you kit the curb you fail immediately. Parallel parking is no joke lol

    • No, those of us in the US don’t have anything like that. The closest thing is your Social Security number, maybe even your driver’s licence. The problem is that not everyone has a form of ID.
      I know when I go to the doctor, they ask for my driver’s licence (because pretty much everyone has one) and my health insurance card. Then on the paperwork they usually ask for the last 4 digits of my Social Security.

      • Even with your SSN tho you prolly don’t need it in every day life. Most of the time it’s for banking and other very specific things lol

        Reply
        • No, it’s definitely not for everyday life. And it’s not something you’re really supposed to give out loosely (even I’m uncomfortable giving out the last four digits). But that’s like a sure-fire guaranteed way of identifying someone, so I gave it as an example of identification that one could use. I really only use it for doctor’s appointments (I go to a lot of doctors, and they all need it on your first visit).

    • most people when they reach the legal age to drive get a drivers license which first requires a learning permit. then you get your license which serves as your ID. for those who do not drive and are of legal age (to receive an id not like drinking etc.), you can get a state issued ID. it does not allow you to drive but it is valid id required for things such as going to a bar when you are of legal age (21)

      Reply
      • just to clarify driving age is based on state and i believe starts as early as 16 years of age. then legal age (being considered an adult) is 18 and then drinking age is 21. just to make sure there is no confusion. of course it is based on location

        Reply
          • its completely idiotic. but think about it this way. guns and drinking kill people. i have a strong dislike of guns but wont get into that. But 18 year olds arent necessarily responsible enough for either. i do get the joke however.

  108. ok so for those who do not know the arms update is out. Max Brass is a new playable character and his ability seems to be when hes at low health his arms remain charged. pretty neat

  109. How useful is the Ancient armor when fighting guardians? Like, if you miss a perfect guard, do you still get a lot of damage?

    Reply
    • im not entirely certain but i believe it cuts damage by half. something cool to note, the ancient shield i believe can reflect the lazers from the big guardians youll find on the ground that cant move but turn when you get close enough and try to hit you with the lazer

      Reply
    • It’s basically necessary at some points, unless you stuff yourself with food. A full set of the Ancient armor knocks damage down to maybe a heart and a half per shot.

  110. Ok so I was looking through some old art earlier and just thought this was kinda neat… these are the two pieces of art I was most proud of in 2016. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8edd5895fb534431d347ff0b573e1db9cdb2a8f28ab483c1ac6be6f985309375.jpg

    And here’s a sketch from a few days ago which I actually posted https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8dd38e69e101b7d8f67cc7b5177cf6be23680e853210472345f8ecdbd5954433.jpg

    If you have something you don’t feel like you’re getting better, just remember you improve every time you do it. That’s not just for art :3

  111. I FINALLY made it to Trophy level 8 on PSN after years and years of neglect. I look forward to pushing this much, much further in the future, now that I’m actually playing games again on PS3/PS4.

        • yeah i would like to play shadow of mordor too. but honestly ive been more nintendo for years. got my ps4 like 2 years ago and played digimon cyber sleuth and next order plus cyber sleuth sequel comes out early next year. my money goes to nintendo first however

          • Same, Nintendo first-party games (and now some accessories) are basically instant buys as long as I can afford it. I usually wait for sales on Playstation games, but I do eventually find time to branch out and play those games. Very close to my heart in the same way as Nintendo, yet not Nintendo, is Media Molecule who made LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway. They’re making a new PS4 game called Dreams releasing next year and that’s the only PlayStation impulse buy I can imagine.

  112. I’ve never felt so happy about an update before
    ARMS literally fixed every solitary balancing issue the game had

    • Don’t bother. All that was on the cover was Ho-oh and it’s basically just covering a Ho–oh download release. There MIGHT be a “Tune in next month for a huge scoop!” page, but that’s all I’d expect at this point. either way CoroCoro at this point shouldn’t be our guiding light for news. lol

        • True, but you never know. They could announce a trailer coming soon any moment now. lol Next month will likely be the month for news to start fully tho

          Reply
          • It’s only been a month since they announced the game lol We’ve had longer down time between other games at this point lol We’ll get something, but waiting two months isn’t really that big a deal. That said I’d also like info. Not saying I don’t lol

  113. I can today confirm that we will have new Alolan forms in USUM. Namely the Phanphy, Hoothoot, Slugma and Spinarak lines

  115. SAMUROTT IS NOT A SEA LION! Bulbapedia is wrong! As its name suggests It’s an otter. A sea otter. You may say: but it looks like a sea lion! Yes, BUT it also fits a sea otter, even more than a sea lion!
    1-it has fingers! Sea lions do not!
    2-the tail may not look like a tail of an otter, but some spiecies of sea otters have tails just like Samurott!
    So, as you can see, I busted Bulbapedia! And I kinda wanna do it more…
