    • If you’re referring to the lack of news between USUM’s announcement and the next big batch of information, nahhhh. It’s common for there to be a good two to three months of absolutely nothing about the game after it’s first announced.

      Reply

    • Prolly not. Game freak doesn’t do delays. If it were in anyway gonna be delayed they wouldn’t have even mentioned it. For Pokemon they’re much more diligent about keeping things on track. The amount of time between USUMs reveal and when we’ll get news isn’t terribly out of the ordinary.

  6. I’m actually glad we’re not getting USUM info, they definitely gave too much with with Sun/Moon and ORAS. That said, I want a little bit of info to get the hype going, but I can wait tbh.

    Reply

  8. So as there’s prob gonna be something involving USUM in August, what would you like to be in the first leak/news? I’m curious about if they are going to show what Alola is going to be like in these games.

  10. Theory: if alternate starter evos are thing, they’ll be opposites

    Archer Deci VS??? Deci
    Heel Incineroar VS Face Incineroar
    Seelie Primarina VS Unseelie Primarina

    • I was going to but it leveledup so slow I didn’t want to bother with it. I really should’ve stuck with it though. Ground/Dragon would’ve been amazing for my team

      Reply

    • I did. A Power Construct one actually. I traded my Zygarde to another game where I already had all the Cells and created a Power Construct Zygarde, then traded it back. It was probably one of the funniest playthroughs I’ve ever experienced.
      Still a shame we can’t have a permanent Perfect Zygarde outside of battle.

  13. I like this Weekly Wrap Up. So we dont need to an article for the small stuff, but its nice to go over. I cant think of anything else that would be included though. I’ll let you know if I think of anything.
    Regarding SM news. I believe some before August 10th (or on the 10th). I personally dont have a problem with waiting though. Its not like they cancelled the games. I just think we need to gain little more patience. The more impatient you get the longer the waits feels. Go play something else. Like PWT or smash. Battle Frontier always needs someone to complete it

    • If it was true there would have been an article of it instead of the wrap-up article that we have now. Or it would be included in the wrap-up article.

    • Well there may be a leak shown off tomorrow Supposedly a guy got his hand on a pic from an up coming trailer. To it doesn’t seem like the guy has much of a reason to lie, but who knows at this point.

      Reply

  24. Oh yeah, staring from tomorrow I’ll be on here a lot less because my vacations end and ill be busy with school shit and because I’ll have to sleep at a reasonable time so I’m not going be up at 3:13 am like I am Right now

  25. Possible Spoilers for SU:
    few sources claim that something even worse is gonna happen to Lars and he won’t ever appear in the series again. They seemed sad about it

    Reply

          • im sorry but for me it worked. I dont think he was that hated, he was the kind of character who wasnt like for steven and his life, while everyone seemed to treat him like the little kid who doesnt have anything to worry about when everyone knew he did. Lars was the more realistic character, afraid in situations where you may think you will stand tall but will eventually swallow your pride and back out. someone who strives to be a popular kid but finds himself to scared to confront them even when accepted. Lars told steven how it is, not sugarcoating anything. He was a good character and the development with him was fantastic, he finally recognized his flaws and faults and eventually self loathed only to be given a second chance. If what butter read was real (take everything with a grain of salt cuz you are just going to disappoint yourself), then it is just going to move the story itself forward at the expense of a character who never really had a purpose to the story and still really doesnt. Hes a minor character but a very well created character in my opinion

          • No. Like… I’ve been in the fandom since Season 1. Unless he’s being shipped with Sadie, people HATE Lars. Every single episode that was supposed to develop him left him unchanged. He wasn’t realistic, he was just an asshole that no one liked.

  26. Bored…….
    I want to make a fire type pokemon based around fireworks
    maybe something along the lines of

    Kabango (placeholder)
    Combustion Pkm
    Fire/Dragon
    Soundproof/Flame Body HA: Aftermath
    it is a very bright yellow and red colored bipedal dragon, it has a face sililar to those festive dragon costumes with fins and a kooky grin with crazed eyes and eyebrows that resemble fuses, its arms and legs have three golden spikes on their arms and human like hands and feet and a long flamed tail
    “it sweats fireballs from its palms and throws them at high speeds, these fiery blasts explode on contact resulting in a sparking ember shower”

  28. Do you guys hate Supergirl? I’m catching up with with Arrowverse, I’m at the first season of SG and it’s pretty great! Of course, it has the feminist filler stuff, but looking past that it’s worth watching!

  29. I bough Splatoon 2 last night, but haven’t been able to play it yet………I’ve either been in pain due to this weird sickness I’ve gotten this weekend or working on an edit for a client………I’ll get to it eventually lol

    Reply

      • It might be some sort of flu. Friday morning I woke up feeling a little stiff and sort of in some pain like I had been doing physical labor my body isn’t used to. Then that night I got the shakes and was freezing. The last couple of days have followed that pattern where I wake up stiff and in pain, then I’m sort fo fine in the afternoon, and then at night I’m suddenly in fever town. Idk what’s wrong with me lol

    • Times have changed… Typical gamers too. It wouldn’t be worth it to put the BF in just for people that wanted it. HGSS had many features, but they were all meant for the typical gamers of the times when it came out.

      Reply

      • Thats fucking bullshit. If games like GTA, BotW and Monster Hunter with hours of content sell well, then there is no excuse to put such little effort into your games. Typical gamers don’t give a shit about mobile games

        Reply

          • Intended? Yes, but typical? Not really. The average demographic of players is tends to lean toward the early adult side of things.

            But that’s beside the point. Regardless of whether or not people are able to play mobile games easily, wouldn’t you want to at least attempt to compete? Giving up and saying “they probably won’t even finish” is a horrible take on the game, especially for the position of a director.

    • I’ve seen the second quote before, but not alonside the first quote. This seems like a euphimism for “we care about profit more than the quality of the games and the dedicated fans.”

      Side note, we need Morimoto to direct another game. With Emerald and HGSS on his record, I’m not sure they could go wrong with him.

      Reply

    • That reminds me, do we know who’s directing USUM? I mean, I know it’s unlikely since we know virtually nothing, but that seems like the kind of tidbit of info that might have been dropped silently.

      Fingers crossed that it isn’t Ohmori or Masuda. We need fresh blood.

      Reply

      • Battle frontier, walking with pokemon, extensive safari zone control thingy, tons of significant characters to battle, easy rematches, superbosses, etc.

        They really went above and beyond with HGSS. Honestly if they could create a game on par with that, I’d wait like 3 years for it.

    • I don’t know I’m not exactly excited for Pickle Rick. I will probably find the family therapy storyline (the storyline that I am guessing will be occurring concurrently in the episode) more engaging.

      Reply

  36. I feel a combination of joy and salt

    Pros:
    -Rick and Morty….. enough said “My sister died in the spaghetti” (if you missed this line I’ll tell you when it was
    -Doomfist is fun as fuck my dewdz

    Conz-
    -My second dualshock broke so no multiplayer
    -The SU leaks… I knew about them like a few days ago but goddamnit they’re still ticking me off
    -Today’s been a bit of a shitty day

  40. Ngl I’ll never get why people worship the Battle Frontier, with the exception of the Battle Hall and Battle Castle (both of which are in Sinnoh’s Battle Frontier) its just a bunch of RNG effects with a boss at the end to make you feel like you’ve achieved something. It’s artificially prolonging your gameplay and imo is a poorly designed feature. If they’re going to bring it back, I’d rather they focus on stuff that isn’t a pure RNG bullshit filter onto the Battle Tower. Also the Battle Tower clones should just have the rental feature added to them like the PWT did, all imo

    Tbh I feel like they should focus on their main story more than some post-game attraction, because if you can’t get the most played part of your game right you shouldn’t even bother with the bells and whistles you tack on.

    There should be difficulty options (with the current level of difficulty being ‘easy’ or ‘normal’) and they need to work on a better level curve – half of the games end with you in your Level 50s unless you grind a lot, with the exception of Kalos, Alola, and Kanto in HGSS (and the last is depending on how much you grind overall). Honestly in game, nothing above Level 70 really matters besides teaching Pokemon certain moves they should get at lower levels. And iirc we’ve never had a trainer with Pokemon over Level 90, but Barry in Plat and Red in HGSS are pretty damn close.

    Reply

    • Eh, I guess people want a BF is because they want a SO is because they’re tired of the repetitive battles from the Battle Maison/Tree. They actually want more variety even if it’s just RNG bullshit.

      Focusing in the main story is important indeed important but Pokemon is a game that always makes you want more and more. And to fulfill that need is what the post-game is for.

      Anyways, even though my favorite game is lackluster in post-game, I don’t want Pokemon to be lackluster on that department as well, especially when the older games (like HGSS) kept me playing for hours.

  41. I have two fakemons ready to be shared and a third one in the works… these were some fun one to make ;3
    Just give me a few hours

  43. Here’s some Fakemon Dex entries :0

    #033-Flitterbug
    The Firefly Pokémon
    Literal firefly
    Bug/Fire
    Acid: Flitterbug can change the colour of their tail-fire. Trained Flitterbugs can put on shows that have many unable to believe their eyes.
    Base: They create beautiful scenery in forests that leave even their predators stunned.

    #034-Vespul
    The Wasp Pokémon
    Oriental hornet (exaggerated electrical properties)
    Bug/Electric
    Acid: As Vespul are busy, demanding, and snobby, their name is used to refer to a certain class of people.
    Base: It absorbs light to produce electricity in their tail. Due to this, they’re often around Flitterbug at night.

  44. Some regional variants

    Regional Roggenrola (Rock/Poison)
    Based on granite and its radioactive properties, it doesn’t change much aesthetically besides changing colour to mostly silver, but the shape of its gems as Boldore/Gigalith changes and it looks a lot meaner.

    Regional Barboach (Water/Rock)
    Based on a bird-eating catfish, it’s much faster and offensive orientated. It’s an ambush predator that waits for birds to gather around rivers, but when it’s desperate it’ll use Smack Down for a more risky method of getting food. Looks much more slick as Barboach and Wiscash, as well as more savage looking.

    Regional Gurrdurr (Fighting/Grass)
    Based on a caber tosser, it has kept its affinity for wooden weapons from Timburr rather than changing it up. In fact, it’s partially plant itself due to a deep affinity and respect for nature. Its Wood Hammer is ferocious. It has a kilt made of vines.

    Regional Ryhorn (Steel/Normal)
    Based on Dürer’s rhino, looks way smoother in all stages than the Kantonian counterparts. It’s much more cold and calculating than past Ryhorn.

    Regional Solrock and Lunatone (Fire/Cosmic and Ice/Cosmic)
    Are now more reminiscent of the sun and moon than simple meteorites in the shape of them. Lunatone is now a full moon. They’ve adapted to the larger amount of cosmic energy in the Caledes region, which gives them more strength and less need for their defensive rocky shells.

    Regional Bonsly (Rock/Grass)

    It’s an actual bonsai tree now, I guess. Totally original concept I swear.

    Reply

    • Justification 4 nerds

      Roggenrola – Lives in quarries and ate more granite

      Barboach – Couldn’t compete with other fish Pokemon and thus partially eat birds, based on an irl phenomenon

      Gurrdurr – Actually the original branch, but as they live in remote areas their name reflects the newer variation that was brought in for construction. Thus they use wood rather than construction materials. Original names were Timburr, Lumburr, and Caburr. Caber tossing was inspired by them in this universe.

      Ryhorn – Hardened for predator protection

      Sol/Lun – No need for rocky outer shell due to better offensive properties and speed

      Bonsly – Moved into forests to avoid Water-types, became actual trees due to lack of competition with other tree Pokemon thus evolving to fill a niche

      Reply

      • Tbh Barboach just gives me a hillarious mental image. All I can see is this schlong shaped fish just jumping up and flailing into birds to kill them in order to eat them

        Reply

        • Imagine a Whiscash breaching the murk leaping several feet in the air and swallowing whole a swellow or Swablu

          Reply

          • Nah fam, bird eating catfish lunge whilst the birds are near the water, flying up is dumb it’s a cat fish

          • So why the frack are you making them pull this remoraid crap when you showed me they just eat at the shoreline

          • They shoot rocks when they’re desperate, because they birds they shoot down are gonna be free food to other regional Barboach that get to it first. If you actually read, you would’ve seen me mention desperation.

          • Shame those are the only holes you’ll ever poke ☺

            And also lol you didn’t poke holes, you’re pathetically nitpicking over a kids series that has used even shittier justification then I have before

          • Symbiotic moss earthen, if you’d bother to read rather than just trying to argue :=)

          • It lived in nature more.

            More contact with nature.

            More chance to pick up the moss.

            If you live in forest, you adapt to forest.

            Understand, kid?

          • I understand you just added that after I debunked it

            “Regional Gurrdurr (Fighting/Grass)

            No mention of moss

            Gurrdurr – Actually the original branch, but as they live in remote areas their name reflects the newer variation that was brought in for construction. Thus they use wood rather than construction materials. Original names were Timburr, Lumburr, and Caburr. Caber tossing was inspired by them in this universe.
            And still mentioning of moss or symbiotic relationship

            all your words only added it after my hole poking :]

          • I didn’t mention the moss, I just told you that it got the moss from living in nature, and both of those mention it living in nature. 🙂

            Bitch I’m more likely to poke holes than you lol

          • Yeah which doesn’t make it a plant
            Sawk and Throh live in forests and their not plants hell they weave their own belts out of vines

          • It’s not a plant, it has a symbiotic moss only found in the Caledes region.

            Think before you speak bitch

          • Paras isn’t a plant, it’s an insect with fungi on it

            Exactly the same as Regional Conkeldurr

          • Also you didn’t debunk shit lol, it’s just that I didn’t give enough explanation because I’m out and about and messaging in breaks

            Maybe you should try getting out ?‍♂️

          • Maybe you should come up with regional forms that make sense and don’t have to stretch so far to justify

          • Tell GameFreak to do that first boo, I’d like to see you make a fun Alola form that makes complete and total sense

          • Grass/Flying
            Bigger lighter petals that are so “drapery” they are whisked into the air via strong gusts, years of being airborne allows them to scatter it’s spores easily and is closer to sunlight
            (And no the petals don’t spin like a propeller just kinda parachute or parasols)
            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceropegia

          • Vileplume isn’t that sort of flower? Why would it become that sort of flower? Why would it need to parachute or parasol? #debunked bitch

          • They don’t become that plant it is inspired by that plant which is a parachute flower which is what the theme is a flower that works like a parachute, its already gigantic petals change due to super perfect climate making them bigger and longer and thinner, they become so big that strong gusts of wind uproot them into the air, and they gently float in the sky, soon after years of living in the air they develop a lifestyle around it

            Same with Exeggutor plenty think that it’s type was inspired by the Madagascar dragon Palm

          • That’s dumb. If Vileplume was exposed to more sunlight, it wouldn’t do jack shit. Why? Because the flower it’s based off of doesn’t do photosynthesis. Hell, Oddish doesn’t photosynthesise using sunlight, it uses moonlight. It can’t learn synthesis or morning sun, but it does learn Moonblast and Moonlight.

            And if Vileplume did photosynthesise (which it doesn’t because it’s not green and has no leafs of any colour) the petals wouldn’t change. It’d be the leaves. The petals would change to get out of the way of the leaves to allow more sunlight, or not at all unless the things it wants to pollinate changes.

      • Dude better idea scrap the granite radiation and go for Cinnabar, cinnabar is by the books a toxic mineral and is 100% more believable then radioactive granite

        So it’s diet of poultry turned it into a rock… Barboach live in murky waters and use their whiskers like a super radar to find prey (if anything other Pokemon should be in competition with them)

        …..its partially a plant out of deep affinity and respect of nature… Yeah calling bullshit how does respect for nature affect them on a biological scale

        So the Spikes Pokemon who’s body is tough enough to take down an entire building isn’t tough enough…

        Where are you getting rocky shells from? honestly these would be better as megas not regional because the rock parts are their bodies, you should make the Rock/Fire and Rock/Ice because they would live in extreme cold and heat that outgrew their cosmic ties

        THE ENTIRE FREAKING POINT OF THIS POKEMON IS TO NOT BE A GRASS TYPE, Bonsly and Sudowoodo live in freaking forest period where would you find a water type in a heavily wooded area, you should’ve gone the extreme and have it live in the desert and it turning into a rocky desert tree Sudowoodo love arid regions even less chance of water

        Reply

        • 1) It’s because granite is associated with the city of Aberdeen, Aberdeen is a city in Scotland, my region is based in Scotland. Cinnabar isn’t special to Scotland at all, at least what I know of.

          2) It turned into a rock type because it hunts Flying-types. Rock resists flying. Uses rocks to smack down birds. Do you even read bro. It also camouflages to the rocks in the river.

          3) They became integrated with nature and formed a symbiotic relationship with some moss, suck it. It’s also a reference to caber tossing, another Scottish thing because get this – it’s a Scottish region. Them worshipping nature means they’re in nature longer than and thus have a higher chance of developing the grass typing.

          4) Their bodies are made of rock. I decided to go a Minior style and presume they’re not solid rock the whole way through. Why would they lose their Cosmic (or if I didn’t have cosmic, Psychic) typing? They’re still from space? You don’t ‘outgrow’ being from earth. It’s never been confirmed whether their rocks the whole way through or not, so I’m using creative liberty. It’s also just a reference to the sun and moon.

          5) The whole point is it becomes more defensive because the whole line has shit Special Defense and a shitty defensive types. Not that it becomes more offensive.

          5.1) We’ve never seen a Sudowoodo in a desert.

          5.2) Every time we see Sudowoodo it’s usually not been deep forest, and the few times we have there’s other tree Pokemon taking up the niche.

          5.3) It’s just meant to be straight bonsai, because we’re probably never gonna get another bonsai Pokemon due to Sudowoodo and I want to make a bonsai Pokemon.

          Reply

          • Im just saying the granite radiation thing is a humongous stretch and if anybody should ever make a Rock/Poison type it should be based on cinnabar

            It’s just stupid that such a newfound diet would shift their composition from fish to mineral, and why would they need to spit rocks to down them, they have perfectly good lure like whiskers they can use to attract prey fish or bird and swallow them down

            Not denying the whole caber toss thing (I’ve actually done it) but it’s just like plenty of humanoid Pokemon could thrive in the forests and not turn into a plant it’s just really stretching just to justify a on the fly idea

            I said lost their cosmic ties as a similar means to Alolan Exeggutor as they said they outgrew their reliance to psychic telepathy, and I’m pretty such lun and sol are solid to the core, this Pokemon in theory just can’t exist without three typings unless you cut out the middle man

            Dude it’s already a defensive Pokemon all of its dex entries state it has extremely powerful armor that resist magma and direct cannon blasts,

            Exactly, Sudowoodo and Bonsly are timid Pokemon that avoid confrontation via mimicking plant life but it is scientifically proven they are minerals instead of plants, I say that some Sudowoodo could easily adapt to live in deserts since they would never have to worry about water which is their enemy

          • Rats can’t shoot electricity, fish can’t shoot water, cats aren’t actually evil – it’s all exaggeration in Pokémon lol. Why should it be cinnabar when exaggerating something relevant to Scotland makes more sense for the region?

            It’s not actually changing into a mineral, it just uses rocks, maybe having rocks on a few parts of its body. Rock =/= being a rock, Lycanroc just has rocks on it, Magcargo just has a rocky shell, etc. It adapted the ability to manipulate rocks for camouflage and hunting – it’s not that far-fetched for a fantasy series.

          • But cyanide is a chemical
            Cinnabar is just a toxic rock that works soooo much better because they are found in volcanic deposits

            Roggenrolla could have their bodies be made of the stuff and they fight by releasing toxic dust and as they evolve they get poisonous shards that cinnabar can be, it just makes so much sense

          • Earthen. It’s a reference to the fact that it’s Scottish. Granite is important to Scotland. Can you not get that though your thick skull

          • It’s just pushing it just to fit a theme, it should just be how the Pokemon itself adapts

            It’s like if the region was Greenland and half the Pokemon became ice types

          • The Roggenrola ate granite at one of the many granite mines in the Scottish region, and became granite. It’s exaggerated like a rat shooting electricity and an arctic fox spitting ice. There are concerns over granite being hazardous.

          • It eats in refresh, and Gigalith has a mouth so the Gigalith are the granite and the babies were mutated

            Boom

          • Granite is radioactive, Pokemon biology isn’t the same as real biology, radiation mutates

            ?

          • Pokemon biology is different fam

            And pancakes don’t give you psychic powers, sunlight doesn’t make you a dragon.

          • It could end if Earthen wasn’t such a stubborn ass who can’t accept when he’s wrong ?‍♂️

          • You’re wrong for not realising this is a fantasy kids series that exaggerates stuff for it’s design contents and straight out ignores logic when it conflicts with their interests™

          • so then why are working on stuff that requires a decent amount of logic to work? I mean regional forms need it to justify why they change

            I mean duh it’s gotta be logical

          • Boldore (Moon) : It explores caves in search of underground water. It’s not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up.

          • Sure you’ve done an actual caber toss lol, picking up a log and throwing it isn’t a caber toss lol, there’s strict regulations and shit. And as I said, symbiotic moss because it handles plants so much. Not every humanoid Pokemon handles plants that much.

            So you’re allowed to headcanon that Sudowoodo likes deserts based on nothing but typetbut I’m not allowed to speculate their not completely rock based on a similar Pokemon? Your logic sucks lol also the whole point so they’re from space. Exeggutor isn’t ‘from’ Psychic, it has psychic abilities. But Solrock and Lunatone are from the cosmos. Also, if I had to sacrifice a type for ‘sun that came from space’ and ‘moon that came from space’ I’d eliminate the shared rock type because it’s less interesting and the sun isn’t made of rock, whilst moon also changes to make it more of a duo.

            Dude the whole point is they’re in very deep forest (weather is only from rain pretty much) and they’ve became Grass types to fulfill a niche of having no other grass types around. Their shape is already perfect for becoming a tree, it’s just the inner workings that need to change. It’s also just a cute reference to how it wants to be a tree

            If pancakes are good enough for GameFreak these are good enough for me. You’re just being super nitpicky when even Pokemon isn’t that specific lol

          • (It was at a fair so complain to them if it wasn’t by the books and stuff)

            Why does it have to fill a niche they aren’t obligated to turn into a grass type they are rocks that look like trees but not plants themselves, I am saying a desert is the perfect environment for them it has nothing to do with type it is the sheer known fact Sudowoodo hate water and deserts have little rainfall but since there are no trees in the desert it changed to local desert plantlife like dead trees and cacti to avoid confrontation with other Pokemon

          • We’ve never seen Sudowoodo in a desert, if Sudowoodo loves the desert so much why haven’t we seen one in one?

            Fam. It became tree because it was deep in a forest, and could fulfill an unfulfilled niche. Became tree because it wanted to become a tree, similar to Bagon to Salamence. If Exeggutor could become dragon through pure bullshit, Sudowoodo can become grass.

          • Because of its natural camouflage wouldn’t let it blend in with open deserts that’s why it changes to look like desert plants, are you just not understanding what Sudowoodo is?

            Well Salamence it just grew wings it’s not like it’s changing its body composition, and the Exeggutor thing is hairy but I like to believe that the dragon traits were locked deep in its genetics and the non Alolan bodies couldn’t access these traits

          • Bitch I’m just saying that if Sudowoodo was so perfect for the desert it would’ve stayed in the desert, why would it move to the desert if it does fine in plant based areas?

            Then Sudowoodo had deep grass traits in its body, and non Caldesian Sudowoodo can’t handle the grass energy hence why they want to be trees ?

          • It can live in both but a desert dwelling Sudowoodo makes much more sense as a regional then it actually becoming a plant because of bullshit

          • Exeggutor becomes a dragon out of bullshit.

            Raichu becomes psychic out of bullshit.

            Bitch the whole franchise is bullshit, you just can’t accept it for some dumb reason

          • Raichu is the only one I will agree with you with the bullshit
            But taking into account of genetics and so forth it is possible that Exeggutor were always Dragons but their bodies could not access these genes but this form allows it

            It’s not as solid as I like but it’s the only thing we can work with

          • And Exeggutor was psychic until it wasn’t 😉

            Admit it you cornered yourself biatch, ‘deep down genetics’ can be used for anything.

          • how many times have you used the Pikachu excuse (and Archer fish boom suck it, and cats are evil)
            Well we don’t know where else Lycanroc has rocks who knows maybe its organic
            And saying Macargo isn’t a rock is dumb because it’s freaking lava it’s melted rock

            So if it’s not a rock itself them why is it a rock type by all means it should stay a Water/Ground type if that’s you logic

          • Not all fish Pokemon are Archer fish. And suck what earthen? Hold on I’ll get the microscope

            So why can’t the Barboach have organic rock? It’s already part Ground lol

            It’s not a rock itself, but it has parts of rock in it and uses rocks.

          • Because it has parts of rock coming out of its body organically, just like Lycanroc

            Why do you even bother replying if you can’t get the meaning though you thick skull lol

    • I love the idea for the Regional Barboach, it’s also ironic that it becomes the predator for bird Pokemon.

  52. Speaking of Fakemon, I’m planning to completely redo my region and Dex. Although I did like making Selos based off of Sweden/Norway, I just found a better location that I could base my region around that would be refreshing for me.

  57. So movie 20 is coming out in November (5th and 6th in cinemas) so Marshadow and the Ash Hatchus may be out early November/late October. Think the Chus will come out before the movie tho, like six weeks before so all six can be distributed and then the USUM exclusive movie hat Pikachu will come out afterwards

    Marshadow should be out soon too tbh

    Reply

  60. If we don’t get the PWT or a Frontier in USUM, they should give us more battle tree trainers at the least

  62. Pokedex Number: 22
    Marvineon (Marvelous-Lumineon)
    Classification: The Light Kite Pokemon
    Height: 6’07
    Weight: 64.3 Lbs
    Type: Water/Flying
    Ability: Multiscale/Illuminate (Hidden Ability: Marvel Scale)
    Stats:
    HP: 80
    Attack: 69
    Defense: 85
    Special Attack: 91
    Special Defense: 100
    Speed: 120
    Base Stat Total: 545
    Pokedex Entry: Marvineon’s six fins help it swim at high speeds but also allow it to zoom through the sky for extended periods of time. Due to their intense glow and tendency to glide above the water, they have gained the name “Ocean Beams.” This said glow is so powerful that they frequently outshine lighthouses.
    Evolves from: Lumineon when exposed to a Shiny Stone

    Notes:
    A majority of this height increase is due its tail length. Its tail becomes a lot more kite like in shape and its six fins spread out and gain a somewhat feathery appearance. It gains a few pink spots, such as on its forehead and its pink spots tend to be where the glow comes from. On a shiny Marvineon, the blue and pink spots are reversed. Additionally, the blue spots become the source of its glow.

    Defense: 35
    Special Attack: 65
    Special Defense: 45
    Speed: 75
    Base Stat Total: 260
    Pokedex Entry: Although it possess wings, it is extremely poor at flying due to the weight of its wings compared to the rest of its body. It can run quite fast and is good at escaping danger. It is known for the sweet sound that plays through its harp-like wings as it runs. If it is cornered, it will create a shrill sound from its wings whilst screeching in order to harm its offender and call for backup.
    Evolves at: Level 19

    Pokedex Number: 46
    Harbilee (Harpy-Jubilee)
    Classification: The Innocence Pokemon
    Height: 3’01
    Weight: 65.3 Lbs

    Special Defense: 50
    Speed: 95
    Base Stat Total: 360
    Pokedex Entry: Harbilee is an extremely friendly and carefree Pokemon. No matter what happens to it, it will never turn violent due to its own will. This unfortunately leads to it becoming an easy target for malicious Pokemon and people who desire its food or its valuable string-like feathers. It will never fight back when it is abused but it will never forget its abusers. When it become filled with enough anger, it will patiently wait for to evolve…
    Evolves: When it learns Punishment (Level 38)

    Pokedex Number: 47
    Harpunish (Kinda self explanitory, wouldn’t ya say?)
    Classification: The Grudge Pokemon
    Height: 6’07
    Weight: 129.4 Lbs
    Type: Flying/Dark
    Ability: Vengeful (Hidden Ability: Resonance)

    Defense: 78
    Special Attack: 115
    Special Defense: 78
    Speed: 63
    Base Stat Total: 495
    Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon remembers any suffering it experienced in its life and will hunt down anyone who had wronged it. A victim will be alerted by its presence when they hear the sinister tune that comes from its wings as it descends. If it happens to evolve without holding a grudge, it will instead fight to take revenge for other Pokemon that have been wronged in the past.
    Evolves from: Harbilee when it learns punishment (Level 38)

    Vengeful: If this Pokemon took damage within the current turn, its attack will do double damage for the turn.

    Blasting Volume: The user’s sound based moves do 1.5x times damage. Additionally, sound related moves that hit multiple foes do 1.0x damage.

    Notes:
    The entire line is based on harpies with literal harps for wings. In their previous forms they have a mostly white and baby blue color scheme but will gain a greyish and navy blue coloring when they fully evolve. In their first two stages they will frequently have their wings spread open but will tend to cloak themselves with their harp wings after becoming Harpunish. Interestingly enough, Harpunish only needs one of its wings to actually fly.

    Additional note: Blasting Volume is not a signature ability, it’s just the first Pokemon I’ve shown to have it so I’m explaining it here

    Reply

    • This sounds really good, but I think it’d be better to explain the ability Blasting Volume by saying that ‘sound moves aren’t reduced by spread attacking’, kinda explains it better :p

      Reply

    • So you want it to be slow so it definitely gets hit? Or maybe hit it with a super weak attack in doubles?
      Seems like a cool line. I hope the wings feel natural to the design, not just stuck on.
      I was thinking of a Harpy Eagle Pokemon but then I thought that’s probably what Staraptor is meant to be.

      Reply

      • Oh crap I overlooked the doubles part… may wanna balance that out

        Oh the wings definitely will for the first two, the feathers are string like and it literally strums them. Kinda in a Decidueye-esque way
        The third one may look weird due to its posture but I hope not

    Humivibri (Humming-Vibrate)

    Base Stat Total: 320
    Pokedex Entry: As it flies, its wings move at an unbelievably fast pace that allows it to travel miles in mere minutes. In order to satisfy the amount of energy it uses to fly, it consumes large amounts of nectar and Ribombee per day. It’s coloration will become more vibrant as it gets closer to evolving. Additionally, it will begin to require more nourishment.
    Evolves: When it learns Fiery Dance (Level 38)

    Pokedex Number: 101
    Solaphony (Solar-Symphony)
    Classification: The Sunbird Pokemon
    Height: 3’11

    Special Attack: 130
    Special Defense: 80
    Speed: 170
    Base Stat Total: 495
    Pokedex Entry: Moments before it evolves, it will fly upwards at sunrise before encasing itself in a cocoon of light that bursts with a radiant flash as it hums a beautiful tune. This phenomenon is referred to as a “Double sunrise” due to the amount of light it emits. The flames that engulf its body are painless to all it does not desire to attack. Legends state that its burning feathers can be used to communicate with the dead.
    Evolves from: Hummivibri after learning Fiery Dance (Level 38)

    Channeler: Ghost type attacks act as STAB moves for the user.

    Note: There IS some lore to this believe it or not. Two of the myths involving hummingbirds in Mayan culture are that…

    The hummingbird is the sun in disguise who is trying woo the moon.
    Hummingbirds would piece the tongues of kings, which when poured on ancient scrolls and burned, ancient spirits would appear.

    To reference this, Solaphony has wings that resemble sunbeams and when they all are together, resemble the sun. Additionally, its eight tails all have feathers with a scroll/spell tag-esque shape to mimic the sacred scroll. (Ideally they’d say the word Sun in Kanji on them but I’m trash so….)

    This thing…. dies to priority so fast xD
    And trust me, there’s a lotta ways to kill this thing, so don’t worry about those stats for a moment

    Also it’s meant to be Harpunish’s counterpart
