  2. I love how they added Pokémon for every significant country in Europe aside from the one that’s residing in the middle of them all and functions as the European Union’s capital. ?

  6. Now that I’m think about it, there’s so many Alola Pokemon that could potentially get a new form. A male version of Salazzle, a natural evolution form for Crabominable, a new Oricorio form, and even a new revealed Mimikyu form too.

  7. Now the real question is, is this all the news for this month or will they do a random trailer later following week? Because if it’s the former, their PR department is completely fucking up.

  10. Can someone help me? I’m trying to find a fake leak for a Ribombee evolution. It came out around October 2016 close to corocoro and had many different other fake Pokémon on it. It was similar to that one where it was a drawing by the leaker

    It had a Ribombee evo that was sorta like a Meloetta and florges combination. It seemed to be based on pop star

  13. With the inclusion of this new form of rockruff im hoping they add more Alolan forms because im really trying to only use pokemon native to the region (before the elite 4) like i did in SM and the chances of finding some if these Alolan pokemon that i havent used is like slim to none or they’re located too far into the game when i have my team already set up

    Reply

    • Same except I might run out of things I want to use, like I don’t have any desire to use Gumshoos. I know I’ll probably be using this new Lycanroc and Araquanid but not sure what else yet.

          • I was actually surprised how useful Minior was after i caught it. Definitely didnt need the Flying typing since it only learned one move and it wasnt even SkyDrop… its a fuckin meteor and it didnt know skydrop ???

          • Sky Drop is grabbing the opponent and taking them into the air. Minior can’t grab anything like Aerodactyl for example. I’d use Acrobatics.

          • I guess… but its a meteor and it literally drops from the sky ??? i just use my Minior as if it was a pure rock type

  16. Is it just me or did the Pokemon on the CoroCoro cover seem darker in color and very different from this new form we got? Could there be a fourth?

    Reply

  18. We always share the best soundtrack on here, but what’s the worst official soundtrack in any main Pokémon game? Like, just badly produced, ultra lame or boring. Lavender town doesn’t count since it’s the most awesome.

  19. Now that I have some extra cash left from birthday, I can finally buy RPGmaker xp! I’ll make a short RPG to gain some experience in using the RPGmaker and after I finish that I’ll start working on my pokemon fangame!

    Reply

        • Not as far as I know. The trial is just free, and it’s supposed to expire after 30 days. If you feel bad about that kind of stuff, then go ahead and pay for it. I just set my clock back a couple years, open the program, and then reset my clock. Got the trial in 2012 and I’ve been using it since 🙂

          Reply

          • Yeah, Imma a legal boy, I prefer paying for things that cost money.

            What do you have to say about using it? Do you think it’s easy to use? Does it require a lot of coding?

          • I prefer it over ROM hacking, by far. I think it’s easier to use. Importing tilesets into ROMs can be pretty annoying, from what I remember (that was like 6 years ago). Importing music and tilesets into an RPG Maker XP game is super easy. Mapping is relatively easy. You won’t have to code anything, unless you want to custom-make something. Some events you might need to use the “Script” button for, which is where some other “coding” takes place. I don’t use it often, but when I do it’s usually for simple stuff. You can find all the information you pretty much need about it here: http://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Script_sections
            Everything else is straightforward. You want the player to teleport? Use the “Transfer player” button. You want to play a sound effect? Use the “Play SE” button. It’s all very easy. There’s a ton of tutorials and resources (like the wiki I linked) available. When you load RPG Maker XP with Pokemon Essentials, you’ll be given a bunch of maps that help explain a lot of things too!

          • No problem, glad to help 🙂
            And if you ever need help with anything, let me know! I could probably answer it. I can also critique maps you make or help with ideas 🙂
