  1. Exactly eight empty lots in USUM :0

    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cb6b756f58aa77b66adc7b001f789deaac695e6f423cb431151b730d33dcc95f.jpg

    Hopefully they don’t replace the Island Challenge and are just side-by-side with it.

    The lots are at:

    Hau’oli City
    Heahea City
    Royal Avenue
    Konikoni City
    Maile City
    Hokulani Observatory
    Route 15 (Beside Tapu Village)
    Seafolk Village

    I think these are kind spread too close for main game gyms (Hau’oli > Heahea would be kinda long but not too bad, about normal Gym travel time for Heahea > Royal Avenue, but Avenue > Konikoni is cutting it a bit short without intervention but isn’t the worst we’ve had in the series, Konikoni > Maile has only a quick Aether separating them, unless maybe Maile is after Route 15 and Hokulani? In which case, the super short trip between Hokulani and Maile is null, but Route 15 is a decent distance no matter how you cut it on Ula’ula. With Aether, Maile to Seafolk isn’t too bad, but at the same time, Route 15 to Seafolk is a long time, but about normal for the Gyms 7-8 gap).

    TL;DR I think they’re too closely spread at times to be the main goal of the game, whereas if we’d already travelled the region it doesn’t mean as much.

    • Some of these places seems strange for there to be a gym, like the royal avenue, route 15 and Hokulani observatory

      Reply
      • To be fair, Alola isn’t exactly high on populated areas :p

        I’d say Royal Avenue isn’t too weird because it is a civilised area (although unknown if people live there) and I’m guessing Hokulani Observatory is because the Observatory attracts attention anyway, but I think Route 15 is a Seafoam Gym situation – a gym was placed in an odd area because the settlement it would’ve been placed at (and in Seafoam’s example (Cinnabar), where it was placed) was destroyed.

        • If these spots are becoming gyms in USUM, doesn’t that mean they’ve hyping up USUM even before the game was even announced? :0

          Reply
          • Makes sense, they’ve most likely been working on USUM since before SuMo was finished and they could’ve slipped the sites in

    • I would initially go with that these are supposed to be gyms, but, like you said, they are too closely spread. No clue what they could be really for USUM.

      Reply
        • Maybe, just maybe, if we can go back to the SM world post-game, the gyms could be finished and then we could fight em.

          Reply
          • Don’t think we’d have to dimensional travel for that tbh, but, they’d probs exist in USUM world too

          • True. I was thinking about the dimensional travel being a thing because of how Solgaleo and Lunala can travel through alternate dimensions when you bring them to the Altar in SM.

    • Type guesses: the 7 types unused by the Island Challenge (7 trials + 4 grand trials, leaving 7/18. Might be a way to get those ‘rogue’ Z-crystals you get in SuMo) and one typeless gym, like HGSS. Also like HGSS, the Elite 4 will overlap with other specialists in the same region.

      Assuming that that none of the Island Challenge Trials change type, that would lead us with:

      Bug (Guzma?)
      Poison (Plumeria?)
      Psychic (Faba?)
      Steel (Molayne?)
      Ice
      Flying
      Fairy/Dragon (Probably Fairy seeing as Mina doesn’t have a Totem)
      Typeless

      Rather than TMs, what if this is how you get more Z-crystals? And then, you get your Key Stone from the final typed gym, or some sort of exclusive Z-Move.

      Fairy or Dragon is where the issue comes from tbh, because we have a Dragon trial but a Fairy trial captain. And I really hope Mina isn’t just removed from trial captain, because she hadn’t even made her trial in SuMo

  2. I posted this on the other article, but this new one was made as I was typing on the previous article:

    I have a fun idea for you all. So as USUM is potentially going to have an alternate universe, the characters in SM may totally be different in this version. So as these characters are prob going to be different, you guys can come up with what differences and changes the characters have.

    For example, in USUM, Guzma received loving support from his family that allowed him to become able to beat the island challenge, to which he was able to fulfill his dream of becoming a trial captain. As captain, Guzma seeks to guide trainers on the right path in their journeys just as his family helped him in his direction of life.

    Reply
      • Do you mean between games or in USUM? Gonna assume you mean the latter because I was wanting to speak about it anyway :p

        Wouldn’t that be a bit tedious and drag the game a bit? Like, going out the Vacant Lots, it’d be three bosses on Melemele and Poni, Seven on Akala and five on Ula’ula. Could be good fun done right tho

        Reply
        • I was thinking something like you do the trials on each island to enter the gyms, then end each island with the Grand Trial as it is now. It just provides more battle opportunities, the leaders are the Trial Captains, you need to beat the Totem for them to allow you to challenge their Gym.

          Reply
    • I prefer trials if they switch up all the trials. I dont want to see any of the same minigames for them again. But whatever they do can they please do Gym leader/ Grnd Trial rematches! We havent had a good version those since HGSS. (PWT doesnt count, and XY version sucked)

      Reply
    • Grown up Current Trial captains as (hard to beat) gym leaders, in the post game a new generation of Trial captains with new totems (including Psychic specialist Hau)

      Reply
    • Why not both? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/98d4c1a23600e819ca47bbee15c72acb6408bb6135975dc9536341d33bb6d430.jpg

      No but seriously I think a healthy middle ground could do the series some good. Maybe make the gyms a bit more important to the overall story rather than them just being road blocks. Have the leaders be more involved in the stories as well. The thing that made the Trial captains so cool is that they had cultural relevance in Alola. There was a reason for them being there and everyone that lived in Alola looked up to them or at least revered their status. If they make the gyms and their leaders more important like that then it would really help. also maybe make the gym challenges be more integrated into the story too. Have gyms where you beat all the lower trainers and then the evil team interrupts and you have to fight them before battling the leader. If they do these things I think that’d really help gyms a lot.

      Reply
      • Also maybe add specific tasks that you have to do before battling. And I’m not just talking about plot points you need to do like go to point A and unblock whatever just to challenge the gym. that stuff is just dumb lol

  5. So apparently, Nintendo has listed Pokémon Switch with a release date of ‘2018 or later’. Guess the peeps who said 2018 for release date are possibly gonna be right, but I’m kinda said that basically confirms no Sinnoh this Gen :<

  7. Switch: 1.97 million units (LTD 4.7 million). After ~4 – 5 months on the market, Wii U was 3.45 million units shipped, Wii 5.84 million and 3DS 4.32 million (pre-price cut, however). Forecast for the year unchanged at 10 million units.

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 3.54 million (75% attach rate)
    ARMS: 1.18 million (25% attach rate)
    Breath of the Wild (Switch): 1.16 million (3.92 million LTD, 83% attach rate)

    Metroid Prime 4 still TBA.

  14. So according to Serebii, Pokémon Switch is listed as releasing “2018 or later” from Nintendo’s earnings report. Clearly even they don’t know at this point.

    Reply
    • I feel late 2018 to be the release date. We’ll likely see the game at E3 2018. I think Junichi Masuda or another director were working on the next game while S/M was in development. Inner studios of Nintendo would have obviously got a Switch dev kit early, so I expect GameFreak to have done some work already on the title.

      Reply
      • It definitely makes me think of the Black and White situation. It was released Fall/Winter 2010 in Japan and March 2011 in America/the rest of the world. They may be aiming for Fall/Winter 2018 but have early 2019 available in case of delay. November 2019 seems way too far away.

        Reply
        • Why would it be too far away? We’ve come to expect too much from yearly releases yet we keep on being disappointed that there isn’t enough content in the games.

          Reply
          • You’re right, it would be right on time for a new generation. However, they’re doing something different this time by “announcing” the game so early. Normally they make a big event of keeping this knowledge secret until a big reveal out of nowhere. For this reason, I expect that it’s coming sooner than usual.

          • I think it was just damage control for people complaining they didn’t had a Pokémon Switch game planned up. It was crammed last minute in the Spotlight and announced way too early.

          • Even so, you have to admit that Game Freak has never done something like this before. It makes me think that they’re not going the traditional route this time around. Also, I don’t think they would have included 2018 in their report at all if they weren’t leaving it as an option. But what do I know, I’m just a guy, I know nothing about their reasoning for this.

          • They never seem to do traditional route it seems. Every time someone figures out their next plan, a huge alarm goes off at HQ, “We have to change all of this, now!”.

          • i agree with this completely. in case of negative response to e3 announcements they said pokemon switch. its the reason i believe they didnt announce smash port at all because of the positive response to e3. mario odyssey and all the amazing content they showed.

  15. Speaking of starters i’m really really fighting off the urge to breed a Jangmo-o for my US run
    I really don’t like giving myself a pokemon in the very beginning (especially if its a cliched pseudo legend) but i really wish i had a run where i got to spend a lot of time with Jangmo-o
    it would be Modest in a Heavy Ball and it would have Dragon Breath

  18. Out of all paired Pokémon game mascots, have you guys preferee the (going by mascot colour schemes and not order) ‘red’ versions ((Fire) Red, (Heart) Gold, Ruby, Pearl, Black, White 2, Y, Omega Ruby, Sun) or ‘blue’ versions (Blue/Leaf Green, (Soul) Silver, Sapphire, Diamond, White, Black 2, X, Moon).

        • Well my first IP was something called Flash Adventures
          it is a 3D action adventure platformer starring the titular character Flash Motors a young 13 year old youth with a metal prosthetic claw on his left arm and his floating spherical robot Zap

          they work in tandem where they both attack individually or together, and it is not limited to these two because you gain 3 more playable characters
          Abbie “Lanch” Winters a timid/hotheaded young girl with ice powers and high speed and low defense
          Bruce Grover a laid back feral boy with a mutant tail and plant powers and the rare triple jump
          and lastly Steel Metway, a gruff stalwart son of a famous professor who gave him cybernetic arms and legs granting him metal powers

          (originally they all had little robots but i’m considering scraping them since Zap and Bruce’s Vine were the one who got the most attention in development)

          Reply
          • Zactly and not to mention weapons
            Flash: Chargerang a electrical boomerang that can link enemies at a range
            Abbie: Aura Jewel: a aurora projection that can be used like a whip
            Bruce: Wooden Hammer: a log on a stick that can pound seeds in the ground and plant them
            Steel: Multi-tool: a large wrench that can mess with machines and transform into a slingshot

          • and it gets better, after a third in the game you gain a new elemental attack!
            Flash: Blaze Bolt: a searing fire blast that incinerates objects
            Abbie: Aqua Aura: she gains watery whips
            Bruce: Air Blast: he sends out a twister on a controlled path that rotates fans
            Steel: Earth Link: he summons three orbiting boulders he can spin and smash with

          • I see, four element ensemble with each character also having a ‘secondary element’ as their main one (plants/electricity/ice/metal)

          • Yes i use a 10 element system the Classical with my Beta Classical Electricity/Ice/Plant/Metal and Light/Shadow

          • Huh

            I’ve never used it for anything specific but I’ve always had this system

            Fire/Water/Earth/Air

            Fire + Earth = Metal
            Fire + Air = Electricity
            Water + Earth = Plant
            Water + Air = Ice

            Sometimes I add Fire + Water = Steam and Earth + Air = Sand but they both seem dumb to me as elements so I usually don’t include them

            Spirit, Light, and Dark are off to the side by themselves

          • When I’m doing secondary elements I tend to do

            Fire/Metal (Metal comes from fire – you smelt ores to get the metal)

            Water/Ice (Ice comes from water – obvious)

            Air/Electricity (Electricity (as lightning) comes from the air)

            Earth/Plant (Plants come from the earth)

            Although metal really belongs with Earth as well and I can’t find a good secondary for Fire, which is why I traded from a subset secondary system to a fusion subset system

    • Basically, my book idea is an anthology series that has loose connections, and it is set in a modern world where magic does exist (I know, cliché), but is completely hidden from mortal eyes after the Salem Accords are made – to prevent normal humans from feeling vulnerable and lashing out, the gods of the world (in reality, most deities are just powerful nature spirits) veiled magic from the mortal eye.

      The series stars six young magical individuals and their own struggles, the first of which is:

      Nicola Riley – A 19 year old girl, born of a black witch and a strict Irish Catholic father. Her mother forgone magic when she fell in love, but allowed Nicola and her siblings to make the choice of whether they’d get involved with it. When Nicola’s father finds out she’s a lesbian, an intense argument leads to him drunk driving and getting into a fatal crash. Nicola must deal with the aftermath, and both the freedom and restriction it brings her.

      I made the character a few years back. She’s always been varying degrees of mixed race black (African)/white of Irish decent (it’s been paternal grandfather, one of hermaternal great grandmothers, etc) but I realised it makes the most sense to tie together the mixed race and father conflict aspects together. I always imagined the character as black, because like most of my characters, unless the writing depends on race (like if I want to tie specific racism into it, or have a character from a specific culture) I don’t really care what race they are?

      She used to be MtF trans rather than a lesbian, but 15~ year old me realised he probably couldn’t write a trans character. If I can’t write a trans character I’m certainly not gonna put her up front and risk offensive or hilarious inaccuracies, I’d rather wait until I’ve got the skills to do a trans character justice tbh

    Wicca
    Insectica
    Some fan games include: Wario & Waluigi: Quest for Cash, Paper Mario: Time’s Up

    Reply
      • Squire’s quest is about this a medieval realm where the four knight’s protected the realm from evil and you Squire Danny Fyro are the squire/future Red Knight in training, throughout history the Red Knight is the most courageous heroic and selfless leader….unfortunately this Era’s Red Knight is a pompous blowhard who think’s he’s the greatest thing ever (i even gave him Patrick Warburton’s voice)

        Wicca is a more….spiritually game where a young girl finds herself in a magical druidic world of nature and spirits and she must find her way home and fight back the corruptiong, the main gimmick is Animal Talismans that give her abilities, like a Hawk to glide, Bear to move heavy things and a Mouse to shrink down

        Insectica is just a world of Anthropomorphic Insects and you are Stox the Beetle Knight and you have Lua the Lunar Moth and Jacker the Yellow jacket Mechanic

  23. Yo thought I’d submit another one of my characters kinda out of boredom, kinda because I want feedback

    Cherie Bellerose, 17, French, witch. The Belleroses are an ancient magical family, and their teenage daughter is their greatest pride. She’s intelligent, skilled, and attractive, as all Belleroses are expected to be. She’s a passionate soul, but can is quick to anger and martyrs herself for her allies, which can damage her, them, or her relationship.

        • Well……it was this fantasy novel i wrote (or just thought of in my head) about myself…
          It starts off with me the real me the one you all love and worship having a severe depression episode in the middle of the night, i was toiled about finally commuting suicide and decided to go out of the house and walk around the neighborhood in the dead of the night, as i go to this field behind my neighborhood the moon lit sky became awash with clouds and rumbling and lighting crashes down striking this extremely old tree i was nearby nearly frying me but opening up a hole which i slipped down
          as and it was a deep hole so deep i got a series of scars and bruises and somehow landed in some totally different forest, confused and in tremendous pain i collapsed from exhaustion. the following morning i was trying to find heads or tails of where the frack i was the plants were weird and i saw creatures that were not of this world then i fell into a hole but it wasn’t a hole…it was a footprint… a big one

          Reply
          • its not directly one
            point is it belonged to a Colossal Elemental Goddess Alizia
            a earthshaper and weaver of plantlife who decided to stay in this realm and does as she pleased instead of some kinda “ascend into a godly plain where her soul is enriched” but no she was like nah i like doing this gig and just wanna spend my days making mountains and lakes and beautiful forests

          • Anyway borrowing your template
            Appearance: even though she’s technically a goddess she looks like a Caucasian women, pale white skin and long messy hair that starts out red but gets green tints, with a hand woven headband of vines and flowers, a well rounded face with emerald eyes and full lips (kinda like Amethyst) and a well rounded body with clothes all made from leaves and animal skins and all sorts of jewel and bone wristbands and anklets (leaving out her height)
            Personality: she’s very laid back and creative always thinking of new ways to shape the land or how to grow new topiary, but underneath this calm collective shell lies her truer self just a loner who only had herself as company since like forever

    • Appearance: She’s tall, lean, somewhat tanned, blonde, and with warm, brown eyes.

      Magic Skills: Generally skilled, but as with all Belleroses she’s skilled with love magic (although modern Belleroses mostly use this to deconstruct illegal love magic). But she’s also a savant with fire magic, being trained by her grandmother, known as one of the greatest Fire Elementalist (people who specialise in a certain element) from youth.

      Weapon Skills: She prefers to use a rapier, as she has been raised with grace and poise as all Belleroses are. She’s terrible with heavy weapons, alright with daggers and knives as well as lighter swords, but absolutely hopeless with projectile weapons, from the simple slingshot to the bow and arrow.

  24. Yo it’s probably gonna be a while before this happens (probs not until PokéSwitch, but I might set one up for USUM) but I was wondering how you guys would feel about a ‘Blind Discord’? Basically, it’d be a space where we just don’t talk about upcoming main series Pokémon games, so you can go in blind but still discuss old Pokémon games and shitpost with people from here? How would that sound?

          • ‘I believe Sun Moon’s writers aren’t dumb enough to make a comedic relief character in their comedy series’

            Rowlet’s probably the most marketable first stage Alola starter, probably more marketable than Deci will be. And we’ve had a Totodile in every region but Kanto (where there was two unevolved starters) and Hoenn (where every starter was owned by a different character and none of the first stages were as marketable).

            Seeing as Rockruff is growing restless and we have a potential new form of Lycanroc, if anything is going to evolve soon, it’ll be Rockruff. And seeing as Ash has a smaller team rn (three team mates that can actually evolve), they’re not going to evolve this close to eachother.

            And tbh the possible Continental Crush VS Bloom Doom clash just reeks of Blast Burn VS Water Shuriken pt2 – Dead Owl Boogaloo

          • But why does the Comic Relief have to go to Ash? We have the cute not-evolving togedemaru as comic relief, Rotom Dex and so far in most of the episodes there was no comic relief, most of the characters were doing funny things. If they wanted Rowlet to be the 1st stage comic relief, why didn’t they give it to Mallow? They wouldn’t waste a spot on Ash’s team

          • We can have multiple comic reliefs though? We had Emolga and Oshawott in Black and White.

            This isn’t a serious series like XY, it’s a comedy slice of life series. Thus no team slot is ‘wasted’.

            Also, Ash had both Totodile and Oshawott, so they’ve ‘wasted’ slots before

          • And it could evolve and be a little bit of a comic relief (The hair) and at the same time want to fight with Ash. And then evolve once again and leave the comic relief behind.

          • Except the hair gag isn’t as cute or quirky as sleeping in the bag and thus isn’t going anywhere soon

            And also none of Ash’s comedy reliefs have evolved past being comedic relief, one of his only comedic reliefs that evolved was Bayleef and even then the evolution didn’t impede her comedy, whereas Rowlet outgrowing the bag will screw up that skit.

          • All I can see is it trying to do, is sticking his head in the bag and getting it stuck if it did become a deci but even then that would get old

          • XY wasn’t more serious than Sun Moon. XYZ was. So probably USUM series will be more serious too. Watch the litten arc again. Was that comedy? This series has a lot of potential and it probably won’t waste it.

          • Why? It’s not a wasted slot for one, Ash’s non evolving Pokemon have shown themselves to be capable (Gible and Corphish especially come to mind, as well as Squirtle and Bulbasaur), and it adds to the comedy – the main focus of the series.

          • XY was still serious compared to SuMo tho. More battle-driven, less slapstick comedy, reoccurring plotlines. SuMo is a slice of life comedy anime, whereas XY was comedy second.

            Even comedic shows can have drama and sad parts. Straight after Stoutland died it was straight back to comedy.

          • Also they’re not gonna suddenly flip to serious, USUM will most likely continue to have comedy with serious parts.

  28. So unless they loop back for Firium Z, Ash doesn’t have Firium Z. He’ll probably get Z-crystals that match at least one of his Pokémon’s types, so I’m guessing that Ash’s Litten is defo gonna evolve?

  29. Bee Fakemon!

    Buzzoney
    Bug/Flying
    The Honey Bee pokemon
    They are diffrent from other “bee” pokemon, they focus more on making honey. They were close to extinction, but they learned to outspeed their predators.

    Evolves into Honeyctar after learning Honey Drink (it can learn either Honey Drink or Honey Attack)

    Honeyctar (Honey + Nectar)
    Bug/Flying
    The Collector Bee Pokemon
    They collect all the ingredients needed to create honey. People often give them other foods for exchange for their honey.

    Signature Move:
    Honey Drink
    Bug
    Status
    10 PP
    Restores up to 35% of user’s HP and boosts user’s speed

    Evolves into Honeyctor after learning Honey Attack (it can learn either Honey Attack or Honey Drink at level 33)

    Honeyctor (Honey + Protector)
    Bug/Fighting
    The Bee Soldier Pokemon
    A part of Buzzoney are chosen to protect the honey. They are great fighters, they can use their weapons with extreme speed. Their wings can’t be used to fly.

    Signature Move:

    Honey Attack
    Physical
    10 PP
    70 Power
    Lowers target’s speed and attack

    Reply
    • I’d change Honey Drink to 33% (1/3rd) health recovery, it’s just nicer to deal with smaller fractions (1/3rd rather than 7/20ths) and it’s easier to keep track of numbers because you just have to divide your Pokémon’s health by 3 to get a rough idea of how much health it recovers.

      Honey Attack needs a better name imo (Honey Spill? Honey Strike? Honey Splatter? Honey Burst?) and I think 70 power + lowering two stats is a bit too strong, seeing as Lunge is only 10 power stronger and only lowers attack, and Trop Kick has the same power and only lowers attack. Maybe put it up to 80 power (so it’s on par with Lunge) and have it only lower Speed? Makes it a nicer counterpart to Honey Drink – one heals and raises your speed, another harms and lowers their speed.

      The names need work and I think a gender divide would work better to determine evo, but overall good concept

      Reply
      • You’re right! And Honey Strike sounds waaaay better. But I avoided the gender divide on purpose, I wanted them to be unique.

  30. I got my switch 3 days ago with Splatoon 2 and God I love it so much. I’ve never played a shooter before but I haven’t enjoyed a game this much since playing the original Mario when I was a kid. I’m already level 15, trying to climb the ladder in ranked which can be very frustrating at times. What gear abilities do you recommend if I want to main the Octobrush in ranked (I’m using the Aerospray MG in turf war)?

  35. Most epic moment in Pokemon? Even tho Hoenn’s my least fav I’m stuck between destroying the meteor in the delta episode + fighting Deoxys, or Nebby evolving into Alola’s legendary Pokemon

    Reply
  36. Something I’m really confused about:

    Solgaleo’s Moon Entry: This Pokémon is said to be a male evolution of Cosmog. At the activation of its third eye, it departs for another world.

    Lunala’s Sun Entry: It is said to be a female evolution of Cosmog. When its third eye activates, away it flies to another world.

    So that means:

    1) Nebby’s gender depends on the game.
    2) Cosmog and Cosmoem are hermaphroties or sexless and develop into male or female.
    3) Male or female just refers to their role in the production of Cosmog
    4) Ultra Beasts: how the fuck do they work?

          • ‘should’ implies correctness, so you’re implying that making Darkrai pure Dark was incorrect?

          • No? I’m literally saying ‘I think it should’ve been Dark/Ghost’, not implying it being Dark is wrong, using the forceful ‘it should’ve been’ combined with the humorous ‘don’t @me’ to imply it’s subjective

    Replace Long Reach with literally anything else in the game, fuck give it Defiant to laugh at Defoggers, Technician because Archers are very technical, fuck even the mediocre Sniper is better

    Incineroar: Switch Sp. Attack and Speed. Give it Moxie or Sheer Force. Slap a Scarf on this bitch. Goodbye NU, hello like mid RU

ARMS could be interesting to look into if you’re into stuff like that, but I didn’t really see anything else on the eShop that piqued my interest that much. Oh, and I also got Snipperclips to play with my mother who hasn’t touched a video game since 2005. She loves it.
