    • 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.

    • 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.

  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

    • 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.

  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.
