In their official blog, Niantic has confirmed that the first ever Legendary Pokémon will be at GO Fest – but only if trainers around the world successfully meet the capture goals set throughout the weekend. If trainers in Chicago manage to defeat it, it will start appearing in Raid Battles across the globe. Niantic also revealed that Legendary Pokémon can be used to battle Gyms, but they cannot be used to defend them.

Are you psyched or what?!

    • Part of me doubts PokéSwitch will be 2018, considering they said at E3 that ‘development has started’ (paraphrasing)

    • More Starfox? If so, then I hope they don’t ruin the controls this time or make it be the 524th remake of the same game.

      And all of my yes for Kid Icarus

    • Pokemon and Star Fox are bold predictions. Pokemon because I’m still not sure they’d have announced it yet if it was coming so soon and Star Fox because I don’t think they’ll roll out a brand new game so soon after the Wii U one. Maybe a port of the Wii U one, but not a brand new game altogether.

  2. So after watching Superstar Saga BM I just noticed something is Toadsworth gone?
    I could’ve sworn that in the first trailer he was there but in the 10 minute gameplay he’s replaced with a regular Toad

  3. Did you guys hear that Stefán Karl Stefánsson’s (Robbie Rotten’s) cancer is getting worse? There’s a petition to build a Statue of him in his home town

  4. I love the insane amounts of pokedollars you can get in the Gen 5 games from the Relic items, battling the Riches, and farming for exp in the sport facilities in Nimbasa.

  5. Whelp…..so ends my little Canadian outing
    My Mom is beating herself up for not being able to navigate the city and find things to see and do and my brother is being a total mope
    I wish I could’ve done something to make things easier….but I can’t….
    All in all I hope the next or any Pokemon game does not take place in Canada

    • Well does your mom have things she wants to see already in mind..? If not you could do some researching yourself 🙂

      • She just wanted to walk around the shopping and food district and the underground city

        Well it’s too late now her spirit is broken and we’re making our way out…

        I’m trying to remind her we had an ok time, but she’s done and kinda feels bad……

  6. Oh no, I just realized something.

    Even though I might be able to get Splatoon 2 tomorrow if I can scrounge up enough change, I forgot that like 6 amiibo also come out tomorrow. ;_;

  7. There’s a guy with five level 13 Geodudes right before the last Gym Leader… HGSS has astounding game design people

  8. So my team is working their butts off trying to beat the elite four but I got it down to a strategy
    Lead with Rampardos to rock slide Yanmega (unless the double team misses)
    Into Infernape to flame wheel Scizor
    Try to whittle Drapion with Garchomp’s Dig until it dies
    Drapion tries to crit Heracross with Pjab
    And then Rock Slide the Vespiquen

    Bertha and Flint are literally no threat as long as Abomasnow kills Whiscash and Floatzel takes everything else out and Garchomp literally eats all of Flint’s fire types

    But what of book face….
    Bronzong is a freaking tank and absorbs all my blows, and that Gallade is fast and strong, maybe I can Crunch and Payback the rest

    My goal is just to get everyone to 50+

  9. What would be your fan casting for a Live Action Steven Universe Movie? You can use 1 SU voice actor (more would be like cheating)

    Mine is:
    Steven: Idk I don’t know child actors
    Connie: Idk I don’t know child actors
    Pearl: Tian Jing
    Amethyst: Amy Poehler (not really sure about this one)
    Garnet: Estelle
    Peridot: Maisie Williams
    Lapis: Anna Kendrick
    Stevonnie: Zendaya

  10. Watching GT live… Matpat is touching things blindfolded. After he felt the thing moving he looked at the guy that chose the things. He had a face that said:
    How could you do that to me i’m gonna Fire you motherf*ckers you’ll be sans after I’m finished with you

  11. ………. What….. Is…… THIS SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/79a66ed46b75a004aa43cb869c604a7fa5ab87c5495e3fa440d680e0e6a675e7.png

    It’s called Poke Fight. Uses the exact same character sprite as Nate from Yo-Kai Watch (But with Black hair and Blue eyes instead of Brown and Brown), Has a monster similar enough to be Litten, Literaly uses Pokeballs in the game and total Knock-Off’s of Yo-Kai Watch, Digimon and Pokemon Characters including Whisper, Gengar, Sunflomon, Veemon and Gotsumon (sorta this last one is debatable) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/58a81c4082076e5ab678a80fa2d987033ca03928e01a88535cab6fd59128f95f.png

  12. Everyone with the app currently, please give feedback to Nintendo

    Go to Settings (the gear at the top right) > Feedback > VoiceChat Function

    and write to them to let them know their voice chat system is just plain stupid.

  13. I’m scared I left my switch undocked for a few days and the battery is at 0%
    How long does it take to be at optimal levels

    Reply
      • I took the wire out of the dock and plugged it in the Switch’s bunghole

        And it’s at 2%…. Which is a relief…I personally believe that letting a device be fully drained of battery is bad luck

        But it should be fine in couple of hours and I’ll finally give my switchie a proper workout with Splat2

          • Lucky…..this place’s clogged artery of a wifi network won’t let me get on eShop

            So I’ll have to wait until I get home at like……2-3pm and have to snuggle my puggle since she hasn’t seen me in a week so add that and then gotta wait for it to download and install AND rank up so we all can play together

          • As soon as my blatant insanity lets me breathe easy, I’m NEVER leaving my switch undocked EVER AGAIN
            TO DO THAT MEANS IT WILL DIE!!!!!

          • Maybe I will, anything to ensure its life, because if it dies everything I did in it does with it!

          • And what if it doesn’t charge or something is wrong with the wire, port or battery
            Just so many things that plot the downfall of my precious Nintendo Switch
            The only way to keep it safe is to never take it out of the house or let it near anything harmful

          • … boi

            you need to calm down

            if you have a case or something then bringing your switch outside the house is fine. The thing is pretty durable.

            If something DOES happen, its fine to send it to Nintendo.

          • I went through so much to get this thing
            I worried myself sick when I had issues with the preorder
            My mental digression waiting for it to come out
            And freezing my nuts off in a huge line outside Best Buy for 3 hours as I waited

            I can’t allow anything bad to happen to it
