The Pokémon GO Safari Zone Events that were scheduled to take place across Europe on August 5th (Copenhagen and Prague) and August 12th (Stockholm and Amsterdam) have officially been postponed.
No doubt in reaction to the recent Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago, Niantic has decided to delay the events until an undecided, later date in the Fall. However, the September 16th Safari Event (Oberhausen, Paris, and Barcelona) and the Yokohama Pikachu Outbreak event on August 16th will continue as planned.
To compensate, Niantic will have Pokémon spawns that are rarely seen in Europe to appear in game in certain European cities for a brief time. You can read the announcement in full at their official Pokémon GO blog.
Do you think Niantic is making the right move to postpone, and regroup to “to guarantee the best possible gameplay experience for European Trainers?” Were you planning on going to one of the cancelled events?
somebody give me a type combo i feel like making a fakemon to shake off the rust
How bout a Normal/Ghost
in the past it was Opasson and Shillouette
a opossum who stopped its heart so much it doesn’t need to beat as much
and a creature who’s shadow lives and fights to protect its host
so for this one
Spookloth
the Raggy Pkm
Normal/Ghost
Ethereal Body (Moves have a chance to miss completely)
it is literally just a single rectangular piece of cloth that has two nubs for arms and a rounded hump for a head with slit cuts for eyes and a black ghostly tail
“this Pokemon constantly roams alone, when it spots its prey it smothers the prey’s face and drains life energy
Raguiem
The Sheet Pokemon
Normal/Ghost
Etheral Body
a much larger sheet of patched tattered cloth in the shape of a tent (or like if you put a sheet over a person and drapes down) it has multiple tentacle like tatters near its bottom portion of its body, it also has a jack-o-lantern cut out face near the top
“This deadly pokemon tries to take over a person or pokemon’s body by smothering it with its veil like body, if you are fully covered you are under its control until sunrise”
sounds like shuppet
Noice
Ground/Fairy
Mine is based on the sandman, try making something diffrent
Gnomad
The Gnome Pkm
Ground/Fairy
Natural Cure/Simple HA: Prankster
A very small humanoid pokemon with a body in the shape of a drooping terracotta colored cone, it has a a very bright round red nose that have several whiskers it has squinty eyes and no arms and legs but just nub shaped hands and feet
“These tricky pokemon wander into people’s homes and try to eat their food, they never stay in one place to avoid suspicion”
I just wanted to draw it
Its totes adorbs

Hmmm it would probably be specially defensive pokemon
sample moves
Earth Power
Draining Kiss (eww)
Amnesia
Headbutt
Teeter Dance
Moonlight
Rototiller (i see it just spinning like a drill with its oblong head)
Tickle
Maybe i’ll make this the evolved form and make a prevo
Gnubb
this looks like a prevo
Electric/Fire.
Hmmmm what else is there other than plasma?
Energy from heat and Overheating machines for example
I realised I don’t have a name for a Fairy/Ground Sandman fakemon… Sandasleep?… Sleepyrit?…
Any suggestions Earthen?
Drheum
What words is it made of?
Dream and Rheum which is the eye crust associated with sleeping which is also called sleepy sand
You know that’s why he’s called sandman, he sprinkles that sand into children’s eyes so they’ll fall asleep (and in some versions have good dreams)
no shit
The name sounds great tho…I’m deciding between it and Dae’s
Zzzand.
It’s so great, but it could be too silly
I think I’ll go with Zzzand! It sounds cute, it matches the mon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcxza1NZeGk
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THIS SEASON IS GONNA BE AMAZING
Something about Rick freaking out afterwards is so great
that face on rick 1:35 you may have seen so many disturbed faces in animated history but this one takes the cake
I feel like this guy is actually Justin Roiland
You know what is on my wishlist for Gen 8 on the switch. A Fire/Fighting type that is not a starter Pokémon.
I have a F/F fakemon that is literally walking bacon and cheese
what type of cheese
melted
ok but what type
AMERICAN
THANK YOU! THERES SO MANY TYPES OF CHEESE
No, it’s cheddar
could of said that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hG-g6X9fqI
But I don’t like American cheese.
its shiny is swiss
That’s better.
I said, Fire and Fighting
That sounds nice. Doesn’t make sense but it sounds nice.
The name’s Foodness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXiyeOLguw8
this scene has a meaning
But we shouldn’t think about it
no stop
You can’t stop me, mom!
Hey folks! Wouldn’t it be funny if NEXT week was our first news update? Oh man, that would be great.
Does your uncle work at nintendo?
*grabs by shirt* WHAT DO YOU KNOW
I know nothing, but I am expecting a Direct in the next couple weeks before Mario + Rabbids…
oh same we def need one 🙂
A new worry of mine that has sprung during this drought is that they are not going to release news for USUM until Pokken has been released.
Wouldn’t it be even MORE funny if next week there was nothing?
HAHAHA! Then we’ll wait until the week AFTER that!
Watch it be in this week ?
Isnt there actually supposed to be some next week
I really like the new dualies.
Hey I’m thinking of names to give my possible in-game team in USUM. Would it make sense if I named Togedamaru…Infinite?
explain?
Sonic Forces.
He’s a Sphere. That’s like, the opposite of edgy. You could call Zoroark Infinite.
He has barbs. When I think of the personality trait edgy, I think of someone who is abrasive. Togedamaru is physically abrasive because it has barbs. Also they are both hedgehogs. I am assuming Infinite is a hedgehog.
Also I don’t plan on using Zoroark.
that’s stupid
just name it Hedge or Prickers
Those are dumb
Better than Infinite
Not really
At least Infinite is a reference and doesn’t sound like a two year old made the name like hedge or prickers
It would :p
if you had an extra chromosome
C’mon :/
too far
People: Planning for games coming out in months, big events happening in their lives, planning their whole future
Me: Can’t even plan when I want to go to bed
Same, my sleep schedule is getting shitier and shitier :T
I have a Jet Lag the whole summer when it comes to sleeping
i don’t even sleep because of my sleep apnea
Ice climbers easter egg in hey pikmin
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/284926330485604352/340977036321619968/image.jpg?width=682&height=910
Holy fuck is that a dinosaur!?!?
Ice Climbers confirmed for smash bros Switch
Without noticing I passed 100 fakemon in my fakedex! 103 right now, without counting regionals
Have you done descriptions etc for all of them?
Most of them, like 85% at the least. I have concepts of entries and designs for all of them in my head tho
That’s amazing! I’m at 151 but i need to flesh them all out more, at rn I’m making another region to compare which I like better to see if I should fresh start
But enough about me! What’s your favourite out of all your own Fakemon? Which one you most proud of?
Thanks! I like all of them, I don’t think I have a favourite. (It’ll be hard for me to choose mons for my team when I’ll play the fan game (if I’ll make it) ) But I am pretty proud of my starters!
Which evil team leader is your favorite
Who is your least favorite
Thoughts?
Lusamine/Lysandre
Does Guzma count?
Of course!
N doesn’t though.
Ok Cyrus,
Least favorite: Lysandre
Wait then… why did you ask if Guzma counted? Lol
Because my friend asked me whose right next to me to ask you? she loves guzma
Oh ok. Lol it just seemed weird to ask that if you weren’t going to pick him 😛
I dunno they’re all kinda lame
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQYob6dpTTk
make me turd cannon
Giovanni was a flop twice
Maxie and Archie wussed out the moment they got what they wanted
Cyrus was a loon
Ghetsis was foiled and a hypocrite
Lysandre also a loon
and Guzma only had memes working for him
So you don’t like the villains because they didn’t succeed… ?????
they just really didn’t make an impact to me to acknowledge whatever they were doing
honestly they just seemed like a inconveniences at best
Destroying the universe = Inconvenience
Unleashing multiples of Pokemon that can give the Island guardians rubs for their money = inconvenience
*run
Huh i didn’t see any pokemon roaming like maniacs you’d think it would be a bigger impact
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will fix that 😉
Because the UB taskforce contains them, Anabel literally had to go into cities to prevent damage. Like literally that’s where half the drama came from in that episode, it’s super dangerous
Earthen is always right in his mind
i’m saying they could’ve dealt with this WAY better than just off scene banter
Didnt this happen during it?
http://68.media.tumblr.com/ac08bbd1f1c21e53c5bbc259439d5b50/tumblr_inline_ojy9keiJtu1uqufnp_500.png
Yes, because the kids this game was made for would’ve loved to sit through a shit ton of cutscenes
And if we actually had to deal with the UBs ourselves before Champion, the pacing would be shit
yeah not the worst thing that could’ve happened
What is a lusamine
Like you can do better?
You didn’t need to comment
you don’t need to breathe
Ouchie I almost feel the edge from here
Well it actually is a medical necessity to keep me alive
that’s dumb
your face is dumb
‘Breathing to stay alive is dumb’
Earthen troll confirm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYrzQS1Lxf0
i don’t breathe and i’m fine
Lusamine/
N, feck u starGiovanniOmg I know this is super irrelevant to you guys but you know when you forget something obscure but find it again? Finally found out what those fairy water cow tbh guess were called, Crodh Sith! :000
like me trying to figure out if the guy who voiced Artie Ziff from the Simpsons was Pauly Shore or somebody else
Isn’t that really easy to look up lol? My thing is like a super obscure myth that I’ve spent ages looking up (like a few minutes a night for quite a while) because it so obscure
i kept forgetting to do it, i was thinking of it on and off for like 3 days
turns out it wasn’t Pauly Shore
That was me with Shrek Hassle at the Castle for GBA. My second video game ever
Shrek games <3
I should try to find a rom of it and replay it for the hell of it

THE BEST ONE
Come on and slam
3 months is still enough time to give news on pokemon USUM
BW2 was revealed four months before and we started getting info two months before (not counting Kyurem)
yea so its fine, we will be fine
BW 2 sold the worst of any main line game too
Still sold extremely well compared to other games
Plus USUM have the bonus of
– Existing when interest in Pokemon is somewhat revitalised
– Possibly introducing new Alola Forms, maybe even new Pokemon and Megas
– Better advertising, as of late Pokemon puts more effort into their campaigning than just Japanese reveals whilst leaving the rest of the world in the dark
Funny story, i wasn’t really paying attention to the release dates and actually realized one day it was out and i was like …..HOLY SHIT
and I actually had to force me and my younger brother to walk to the store in the rain to go get it
I kinda want to expand on Gnomad my Ground/Fairy Gnome wanderer
Should it be a two stage with a Dwarf evolution Called Gnorse?
do what u want
i gneed feedback on this one
did you see the doodle i made for it?
no
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d905c88446da46c47b9a42f52ba0c011826acd7e32d02f2536dccc47436e517e.jpg
two stage meaning it evolves once or twice i forgot
(yeah i get why you’re confused)
it has one evolution
I think it’ll get bigger with an even bigger hat thingy that can drill into the ground and even hide inside its cone
I’d stick with the nomadic theme and keep it as a gnome tbh, gnomes seem more fairy like than dwarves to me imo
i just need a better name for it
Gnoaming
Gnomadisch
The first gameplay trailer for Sun and Moon was the most hyped I’ve been for a Pokémon game.
I totally forgot there was supposed to be news that day then my friend ran up to me before school and asked me if I saw the new trailer. I then proceeded to watch it and freak out
I remember that I was sitting in bed, nervously refreshing for it XD
Calculus-based Physics lecture had just finished for me. I watched it right as I was walking to my next class.
Of course with the GS virtual console coming up there is a lot of speculation that there will be Johto Pokemon with Alola forms. And some people are hoping that the Johto starters will get Alola forms. So I tried to think of what Avenue Gamefreak would go with this and here is my conclusion. First, only the final evolutions will have Alola forms; in SM there were only 18 different Alola forms of 9 evolutionary lines. I believe that like the number of Megas in ORAS matched the number of Megas in XY, the trend will continue for # of Alola forms in SM compared to USUM. Thus if the entire line had Alolan forms that would be 9 already. The ability changes I listed are not really based on any correlations and are more like changes I would do to improve them. Please let me know what you think. And I will do the other two starters later, but for now my sister’s favorite starter of the Johto trio when we were kids.
Meganium
Grass/Dragon
Ability Change: Overgrow -> Queenly Majesty
It’s evolutionary move Petal Dance will be replaced with Outrage (basically the same kind of attack) and at the very least it’s ATK and SPA stats will be switched. I know that we already have a Grass/Dragon in the case of Exeggutor, but the typing makes some sense. Meganium is based on a Sauropod which is a Dinosaur and has been associated with Dragon typing before (ex. Tyrantum) it is also able to learn Dragon Tail through TM. Grass/Ground could also be argued for since it learns two ground moves by TM and if Gamefreak does not wish to make a trend by associating Dinosaurs with Dragons. Also I know that Aurorus was a Dinosaur as well but it was part of Fossil duo, it was unlikely that they would have made them both of them Rock/Dragon. Especially with how few Pokemon (not including Megas) were introduced in the Kalos dex was.
I’d rather that Meganium would become a Grass/Fairy based on attacks like Flower Shield/Floral Healing being fairy moves, but tbh your idea sounds really cool too! Ngl I’d really like if it turned out like this too
With Gamefreak we have no idea what they are going to do. I am just trying to fill the news drought now with some speculation.
True, knowing GameFreak we’ll get Fire/Fighting Meganium :p
Is anyone going to get GS on virtual console? I don’t really see the point because I have HGSS and an action replay which sounds nicer than an older game with a bad level curve
i literally just finished Crystal and Gold in the same month
To be fair, HGSS wasn’t exactly stellar in the levelling department either
I might tho, just because them sweet sweet hidden abilities we get from transferring. Also because since virtual console Red Gen II is the only Gen I haven’t played
How do these names sound for a Water-type cow Pokemon, which starts off as a buoyant blue calf and then slowly evolves into a half serpent, half cattle sea creature (its theme is water bovines, based off of the Scottish mythical creatures water cattle (cattle that lived and water and bred with normal cattle, the calf being an omen or blessing depending on your belief) and crodh sith (fairy cows, which swam to graze on better grass away from their fairy masters), before developing into the Greek Ophiotaurus (a half serpent bull, which can grant one the power to defeat the gods if they burn its entrails)
Oxbo (Oxbow (used on oxes and bullocks) + oxbow lakes (named for oxbows)) > Urusi (Urus + Sea) > Taurrent (Taurus + Torrent)
They’re all placeholders rn anyway
Sounds pretty good. And it seems a bit similar to Gyarados to me.
Phew, was wanting to get the weaker to stronger vibe a bit. Does it sound too similar tho? Might drop the Ophiotaurus and keep with the Scottish myths in that case
No. I think there is a comfortable distance between the two evolutionary lines as long as if it has a distinct enough design and it’s changes between evolutions aren’t as drastic as Magikarp to Gyarados was.
Oh yeah, it’ll defo look like a more natural transition, basically the tail just becomes more and more prominent until it’s half sea snake, and the back legs look weaker and weaker to give hints to it losing them. Although I’m considering just giving it a long rail to represent the serpent part?
Also thanks for the feedback dude ?
Snow Problem.
I have no idea of anything you just said
So a water cow dragon that is a god slayer……..
is it least a legend?
Where tf did you see dragon anywhere
And it gives the power to slay gods, it doesn’t possess the power by itself. In fact, it’s probably quite weak by itself because it’s half serpent and probably wouldn’t be able to jack and shit out of water
It’s either going to be water starter or a random three liner, haven’t decided
Serpent must’ve why i thought
it just seems really really weird and overly complicated
It’s not tho
Water cow > water cow > cow mermaid
so a manatee
No? It’s amphibious unlike manatees, and is literally a cow mermaid (but sea serpent over fish) rather than just something that vaguely resembles cows
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b0/5d/b5/b05db55efcef0a5973aaa6c099ca79b4–cow-parade-cows.jpg
Wow you fucking creeper? How did you find that picture of my nana?
it’s a joke BTW
take some freaking lessons
That joke was super obvious tho? Thank God I had the foresight and bothered to post the fact it was a joke lol
i just looked up Cow Mermaid in a vain attempt to wrap my mind around this thing
i just think its excessively trying to be the mythos that its forgetting its a starter, i mean i feel the starters shouldn’t be this abundant and reliant of its mythology
maybe if you simplified it down into a water cow calf and gradually turn it into a nod to the mythology instead of it being it entirely
Like Emboar for example is based on that guy from a journey of the west or romance of the three kingdoms but Emboar isn’t trying to be exactly like it
It’s super simple tho, they literally all just reference their myths for type justification (just watery cows) and the last form resembles the Ophiotaurus. It’s literally just the same thing as Primarina being a selkie reference, as it’s a sea lion that becomes more humanoid. You can’t cut open my Fakemon to kill gods, it just takes visual inspiration
This is the Ophiotaurus https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f255720b32eec5129d246e5c5a11748fcc8f246b27618be225da8a511e2cb4d8.jpg
Like literally earthen the whole time it was just a watery cow that changes into this gradually, you’re the one who read it wrong
how could i not with all that mythology mumbo jumbo
you could’ve just said cow with serpent tail
I did tho
‘before developing into the Greek Ophiotaurus (a half serpent bull)’
I then gave some background of the Ophiotaurus, which was at the end of the sentence so its not like it was interrupting anything
So when is Pokénchi, or am I getting my hopes up?
https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/891324594942091264
ITS HAPPENING
Do you remember ORAS
Yes….
Maybe they will show an extended version of the trailer shown in the direct. It might even be, dare I say it… 1 second longer.
But if you slow it down like crazy it’s actually a playthrough of the entire game sped up
The one second is this Nebby face https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e186856952c16ea2a1b88ccd760164bd59067ba8c531f1bcf16a547c265831c5.png
If it’s Pokenchi I’d keep your hopes down anyway :p
Why do they change the name If the show more than you change your name
Pokemon Sunday
Pokemon House
Pokemon star
Pokenchi
What if the new Lycanroc form’s gimmick is its type changes with Z-Crystals? Like Rock/Normal with Normalium, Rock/Psychic with Psychium, etc. Just remembering old speculation about Rockruff’s collar being the inspiration for the Z-Ring’s design.
Only issue is Rockium 😡
Rockirm makes him the first Rock/Rock pokemon
That rocks
Idea: to promote the use of Rockium, this Lycan form would have its own siggy
???
Normal-type
80 Power
100 Accuracy
Physical
Will be the same type as the Z-Crystal equipped to this Pokemon, and can perform that type’s Z-Move
*whispers* Sylvally
*whispers* oh and Arceus can use Z-stones to change types too
Judgement doesn’t change type and you can’t use Arceus during in game runs
Still too simmilar to Silvally to happen
You could say the same for Silvally and Arceus lol
Type changing mechanics aren’t new, Kecleon and the Porygon lines were doing it before
But that’s the point of Silvally
And maybe this Lycan inspired Silvally too, maybe even where it’s system came from ?♂️
Why the male symbole emoji
It’s a shrug on my phone
Emoji Movie 2:Lost in translation
Silvally’s Gimmick isn’t tied to Z-Crystals ?
I found rl genderbend Jacksfilms and Erin https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/50095b01f63336cffd5e3303c0de3ce718364089a9c263239d03ec5b2987313d.png
So what do you think of them changing up every totem pokemon in the game?
like
Bewear
Lycanroc
Alolan Marowak
Togedemaru
ughh JUST GIVE US SOME DAMNED INFO
I predict:
In main game 8 gyms that you can enter after beating totems (Sun Moon ones + Aloraichu Hau’s psychic gym) and in post games 7 new typed trials with new totems and a new generation of trial captains
be patient. besides, usum isnt even that exciting
Still my brain craves info and Pokemon is something that is always on my brain
It’s a new pokemon game. It is.
Don’t wanna sound rude but I’m actually quite excited, I loved Plat and if it’s as much as an improvement as that then these might be some good games :0
its not rude at all. youre entitled to an opinion as much as i am even if mine is unpopular
Haha wouldn’t say yours is that unpopular, a lot of people here aren’t excited but want news just in case
well it is because the first trailer didnt pull me in. not because its on 3ds but because the thing with necrozma doesnt look cool. it also just doesnt look good. its pokemon so obviously im getting it but id be more excited for the switch game the following year
also i dont quite see the platinum relationship. moreso bw2
I think it’s gonna be a third version again but if it’s more like BW2 I’d be even more hyped! Love Alola and it’s story :0
well since its another set of 2 games. its more parallel (for lack of better word) to bw2. and the necrozma thing which looks like fusion which draws more connection to bw2 rather than plat
Ula’ula as Island 1, seeing as our Z-Ring is black.

Explains why a Pokemon as ‘weak’ as Togedemaru would be a totem – it’s the first
Good luck to the trainers picking Popplio
And Rowlet tbh, but Toge will more wall than kill
At least it wouldn’t have Zing Zap though
Thank God lol, massacre of the century
Concept for Zzzand, thoughts? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b1c24312b7ec305b48a479c86194697f08ce02e513fc46186c665ed7152af64c.png
it looks like its on ecstasy
Isn’t that the point tho?
Like it looks trippy because dreams?
true i mean it must having one hell of a wet dream
Ok i just want to run this by you
can you guys imagine the sheer horror of a actual Totem Bewear
http://pm1.narvii.com/6306/26719f02ce6f0a013dcdfc4cfc3aeab23a60f68f_hq.jpg
EVEN BIGGGGGGGGGGER!!!!!
I’d hug it
and it will snap like an icicle
Is fairy that strong?
oh hell no, Fairy would try to hug it and Bewear would glare and it would crush Fairy’s spine so hard and so fast it would combust
No lol, Bewear isn’t malicious and wouldn’t harm on purpose, and Totems are trained besides Kommo-o so Totem Bewear would probably be trained not to be a threat to trial goers
Sozzles m8 ur fantasies r wrong
I used Swagger on it
I give it a Persim Berry
It would be so big you would just hug its leg
I guess it could get a sp.attack aura and wouldn’t be so bad.
