To tie in with the Pikachu Outbreak-chu event in Yokohama, Mewtwo has officially been released via Legendary Raid in Pokémon GO as an exclusive to the Pokémon GO Stadium event in Yokohama, Japan!
Mewtwo in Pokemon GO
Shortly after Mewtwo’s first appearance in the stadium, Niantic released an official statement that it would be coming to players worldwide via a new mechanic called Exclusive Raid Battles. These work exactly like regular raid battles with the only difference being to participate in them you have to be invited to them. To receive an invitation trainers must have successfully defeated a raid boss recently at the Gym where the Exclusive Raid Battle will be taking place – meaning that it’s completely by chance and there’s no way (that we know of yet) to predict which Gyms will spawn an Exclusive Raid Battle later. The invitations will include advance warning of when the Exclusive Raid will take place, giving trainers ample time to coordinate with other Trainers before taking on the powerful Raid Boss.
It was also confirmed in the statement that Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia will be returning to Legendary Raid from today until August 31st!
Pikachu Snapchat Filter
Along with Mewtwo, a special Pikachu snapchat filter will be available for the next 3 days! The filter gives you a pair of signature Pikachu ears, nose and red cheeks (and luckily enough also air brushed my skin and shaved off a good 10 pounds from my face) – if you open your mouth it activates Pikachu to charge in from the left side of the screen to give you an electric kiss, allowing your face to give off bolts of electricty before Pikachu returns to the bottom left of the screen. There is no additional use of the filter on the back facing camera.

Ditto & Mimikyu Distribution
Last but not least, in addition to the announced distribution of Pikachu at the Pikachu Outbreak-chu Carnival Parade in Yokohama, two other Pokémon are having a special distribution: Mimikyu and Ditto! Mimikyu is Level 10 with the moves Astonish, Copycat, Baby-Doll Eyes, and Splash, while the Ditto is holding a Light Ball.
Why can’t this be a daily, default Snapchat filter??
I wish every time you close your eyes the pokemon changes lmao
I don’t really get snapchat filters…
What’s their not to get?
I just don’t get why people use them… they’re all ugly and weird for me
They’re meant to be weird tho? Besides the colour filters and maybe the flower crown they’re meant to be quirky, that’s like half the point of snapchat
I’m surprised Pokémon hasn’t done snapchat filters before (as long as I remember), that’d be an amazing way to promote games XD
Maybe they were concerned with what people would put them over…
Uh, available only for 3 days? That’s a surprisingly short amount of time
Maybe he Strikes Back later, then Returns again another time.
Boring…
13 weeks until USUM
I think we are going to get news about USUM during the VGC world championship, which is this weekend. I am also hoping that they will expand the Pokken Tournament roster a little bit more. I hope they reveal 2 new fighters for Pokken. I am guessing there will be a trailer for USUM over the weekend or on Friday at the earliest. I just want to see if the tapus get therian forms.
I’m hoping for:
Rotodex as a ‘joke’ form (Electric/Normal with Foresight)
Therian Tapus with new abilities (Dream Radar 2 anybody? :p)
Explanation on the mascots
I’d actually want to see the first one happen. It’d be funny.
The iritating thing about having 140 fakemon and forms is that you have to draw 140 fakemon and forms
Are those Fakémon a Raid Boss or a snapchat filter ?
c’mon, don’t be such a policeman
People spend time on these articles, it’d be nice if at least the first few were relevant to the article
the first few were. I wrote a comment relevant to the article
Five comments relevant to the article, one by the person who made the article, and two on the subject of canon Pokémon as a whole
1 more day until Sonic Mania comes out…
I’d rather go to Cherynoble to catch Mewtwo honestly. It would be an adventure at least
Well I have no interest in GO, Mewtwo being in it doesn’t change that, a shame it won’t be as epic looking catching it as the trailer made it seem, but we knew that. I do now have a slight urge to watch the first movie though.
I don’t use Snapchat but that filter looks pretty snazzy.
Who cares about Mewtwo? I want Mew.
Lol I love this Pikahcu filter. Why is it not default though. I sent it to all my streaks with my Pikachu toy and the Pikachu in the filter. Three pikachus
To people that are here: give me critisism! I’m trying to do some changes to my starter’s design. I’d prefer critisism about the design, but I could improve on my drawing too.

That white spot in the middle… that can be mistaken. Is it supposed to be a leaf?
kinda?… yes.
Maybe leave that out… it doesn’t look great
More like… Leaf that out
But Yeah, you’re right I can see that now
eh could be better maybe try a different design on it
I think you could do these:
Make the leaves on the face larger and fewer, kinda like this https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/10/0f/9e/100f9eb40b3d6500f648ca4e1ee688ff–tree-faces-man-faces.jpg
Look at other bear Pokemon like Pancham, Teddiursa, Cubchoo, they have very similar bodies, perhaps try to replicate those, or apply the same to Stufful as a quadruped.
If the body is covered in grass you only need to show this with a few tufts here and there.
If the stomach is meant to be leaf patterned perhaps try to centre it more towards the chest, perhaps look at different types of leaf such as this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossypium_tomentosum , try to keep it simple looking.
The colouring is good, perhaps the face leaves should be very slightly darker than the grassy body.
Just some ideas I hope will help.
Important: I’m going in a “vacation” until Thursday sooooo I’m going to be posting a lot less frequently from now until than. Sorry about that my dudes. Hope all goes well for y’all while I’m somewhat gone.
Your not allowed to leave
I need to from this “vacation”
As you can tell, I’m not thrilled about going on it…
Inb4 all the news comes while you’re away 😛 Have a good time.
It probably will XD
Thanks tho
Oh cool Go is doing more stuff it should have done from the start, yay
Pokemon Go, its not like i still play it 😉
Pokémon go
More like Pokémon gone
More like Pokemon Go home
I think that a lot of us don’t tbh
Thanks very only done one raid and it was for Articuno. I haven’t tried for the other ones due to not having time. I’m gonna try for Mewtwo tho that’s for sure
I need to start this comic before I decide it’s not worth doing and I get sad https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7c0623d745afd30528df011c036eb1aa3d509b912675046327d3e2625ca0dafb.jpg
It’s cool that Mewtwo is now available, but like, we’ve been waiting for so long after Niantic hyped it up in that teaser trailer almost 2 years ago. Glad it’s here now, but still.
Wow… 2 years ago… wtf
Yep
My prediction for gen 8 (pokemon switch)
Fancy graphics, like a mix of sun moon and oddysey
a lot of marketing
The new megas/zmoves like a third type form that makes the pokemon bigger, but doesn’t change appearance
New UBs
Aether
Gyms and Totems (called something diffrent, like “Guardian Pokemon” and you have to beat them to battle the gym leader)
Region based on the UK with big events happening in rl london
Not openworld, but more locations than usually, bigger, more detailed region
Why would you want a UK region lol it’s like the most boring thing possible
You know it’s true when someone from the UK says it
Maybe they should bring it back to Japan?
I don’t quite see aether coming back tbh, like, the only instance where a evil team came back the generation after they were introduced was in GS, which were sequels
they are more than just an evil team…
Still an evil team
Tbf, Aether is a Corporation and not just an evil team formed in one region, and it’s pretty much said that they’re not just in Alola (Lillie isn’t native to Alola, Hau asks why Aether would create a branch in Alola, a member mentions working in Driftveil, another member mentions shipping Farfetch’d’s leaks to other regions, and finally, why would Lusamine need Faba and Wicke as Branch Chiefs if she’s only got one branch? They wouldn’t be referred to as Branch Chiefs if there was no distinction needed:
Oh yeah I forgot aether came from another region, but I kinda think that that region is Sinnoh.
3rd types would instantly make that Pokémon trash
Ghost/Poison/Dark?
3rd types are a weird, overcomplicated and confusing addition imo…
Third types should only be done through abilities imo, and even then I can only see them working like Steelworker
– Graphics, yes.
– Likely going to drop Z-Moves, in my opinion.
– Customization is likely staying.
– Why would they continue the UB stuff?
– Why?
– Gyms could return, but I doubt Totems will come back.
– I want to see another region based on a European country.
– Open-worldish game. I want to see them do something similar to DQXI.
I’m finally watching the first episode of DuckTales. It’s a pretty good reboot so far
I love it, I grew up more with disney’s comics than duck tales, but this is an amazing homage to both rn I love the ending especially
They should do Gen 4 remakes as the very first Pokemon Switch title. Sinnoh has the most potential for an open world setting, because its already the least linear region of the franchise.
Yesssssss
No. That would be dumb. Pokemon Switch is a chace o show off what pokemon is NOW. That takes away half the creativity they can use for a switch title. Just wait a little longer.
They could direct less resources into designing the region, story, pokemon and stuff like that since it’s a remake and more on making it a good game
But new region, story pokemon and stuff is what pokemon is. GF can show that off.
You must have a low opinion of Pokémon games if you prefer flashy new Pokémon and regions rather than actual game play
Just play BOTW and D/P again. It’ll be exactly What you want. I want a new pokemon game, as good as Sun/Moon or better. Not Botw.
I don’t get why you are actively against a Pokémon game that actually evolves the series forward
I agree with both of you. I’m always up for a new region, but using an already existing gen to ”test” the Switch’s capabilities would have a much softer backlash
It isn’t a bad idea but I find odd that GF would release a remake as their first title on a console, but GF has been breaking patterns lately so who knows
Or it could be very smart, because it’ll allow them to introduce new mechanics in a familiar setting for the players.
Sinnoh is the least linear region? How so? There is things to do once you obtain stuff like Surf and Strength, but almost every RPG should contain areas off the typical path! Also, I do have to agree with Butter Geek for once, that’s a fairly lackluster presentation of what they could do on the Switch. I rather have them make something entirely new to represent Pokemon on new hardware.
I would love a D/P remake at some point, but I utterly detest it being the first title.
Watch this:
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7randombattle-617526389
Basically a destroed a team made of Reshiram, White Kyurem, Tornadus, Suicune and Venusaur-M with a Togedemaru and a Meloetta
I’ve settled on the team for Selene I think
Decidueye
Ninetails
Araquanid
Mimikyu
Salazzle
Lunala
Temporary Pokémon:
Cutiefly
Jangamo-o
Thoughts?
Why not Inci?
BECAUSS HES FUCKING GARBAGE
Sorry I over reacted
HES FUCKING GARBAGE
Get over your dislikes… If you give one person a Deci and one person a prima, you know giving someone an Inci is the right thing to do. You never gave him a chance, Maybe you will while writing/drawing him. Please, try to see how great this pokemon is. At least try.
You should know that not everyone is going to like the same things you like tho
No. Nope nope no. He is literally trash. I’m not going to write in an entire character just to include one of my most hated Pokémon.
Selene gets Rowlet
Hau gets Primarina.
You said this is a serwisu project. Then be serious and try to look at pokemon objectivelly.
The only character who uses Incineroar in the game if you pick Rowlet is Kukui
So if she’s being ‘Sirwisu’ she wouldn’t be making an OC Incineroar trainer anyway
And there you go.
Even if I liked Incineroar I have to chose the team that will work the best with what I want and that ended up being Deci. Notice how I didn’t pick Primarina, my favorite. I chose Deci and therefore Hau gets Primarina.
I don’t want to write characters that only exist to get Pokémon. Sun and Moon have so many damn characters already it’s hard to fit them all in with proper characterization and development
She’s writing a comic based on the games
Hau gets the Pokémon weak to yours
She shouldn’t add any unnecessary characters to fill a quota
Do I think it’s dumb people scream ‘Lel Inci is garbaj’
Yes, I find it dumb
But you know what I find dumber? Your insistence when she’s made it clear she’s not doing it, both because it doesn’t fit the basis and she doesn’t want to
It’s
Just
A
Pokemon
Bro
Get
Over
It
Idk about having a legendary in the team tbh
Well that’s only at the very end when Lillie leaves Lunala to Selene until she returns to Alola as a trainer
Who are you going to use when she returns then 😛
Well the series will be over after she leaves so I don’t have to think about that 😛
Decidueye
Ninetails
Araquanid
Mimikyu
Salazzle
Pew pew big bat wew
Ftfy
Decent team, does she like Ghost types or is it just coincidence?
Well the idea I had was that she already had a fairy type and a ghost type so Mimikyu didn’t have a place on her team but she kept it anyways because of friendship and all that.
The Lunala being ghost part was something I didn’t think about but she only uses it like once
Cutiefly no evolve?? ;-;
She does after Mina takes over
Oh nice
ARAQUANID AND DECI 😀
Is she me? She uses like four mons i adore
