Today’s the day, two (three, really) “new” Pokémon games are now available worldwide!
To tide us over until Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon are released, Pokkén Tournament DX is now playable on the Nintendo Switch, and Pokémon Gold & Silver have been re-released on the 3DS/2DS’ Virtual Console! Both are available for purchase digitally on the Nintendo eShop, and physically in stores across the globe (Gold & Silver physical versions only available in Europe and Japan).
Those who purchase Pokémon Gold & Silver anytime between now and September 21st, 2018 will receive a serial code to obtain the Mythical Pokémon Celebi in your Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon games. In addition, by downloading the games before January 15th in North America (December 31st, 2017 in Europe or September 28th, 2018 in Japan) you’ll also receive a free 3DS theme featuring Lugia or Ho-Oh depending on which version you purchased. If you purchase the download code from either Best Buy, Amazon or GameStop you’ll also receive this gorgeous theme featuring the important characters of Gold & Silver!
Check out their trailers below:
Which games will you be picking up? Pokkén Tournament DX to get your Pokémon fix on the Switch? Pokémon Gold & Silver for the nostalgia? Or both?
Damn game won’t be live for another 45 minutes
I may get it at a later date. Gonna beat the HG play through I have going first. Might hold off until next actually as I’m going on vacation to the same place I beat Silver the first time I ever played it and it’d be cool to do it there again. It’d be a nice nostalgia thing for me
Make them available on Switch VC please and I’ll buy immediately! But for now, I’ll have to hold off.
That makes sense to me. Why isnt it on VC. Seeing a gen 2 game on big tv would be fun
There’s no Switch VC yet…
Still? They’d probably resell GB Colors before they make VC ;~;. Switch VC: Emerald/XD/Colosseum is ded.
What’s that thing between the spearow, Golbat and Fearow? Top-left

Ditto?
Porygon, ditto, pidgey
Porygon
I remember when people were excited about pokken
Times sure change ¯_(ツ)_/¯
There was a time once?
Yeah every time they reveal a new character people get excited
For a short amount of time that’s it
It’s just that for a series with 800+ Pokemon they would at LEAST have 50 playable characters. It’s just disappointing
I guess so, but these characters models seem way harder to make than the ones from SSB4, just look at how detailed they actually are
Sorry, but the USUM news outshines this.
Pokken looks fun though, but I wont get it.
Why play gen 2 when I can play HGSS?
Im sorry this is offtopic but:
Im ready for the photo club thing in USUM, Im definitely really hyping for it! Im gonna take a picture with all my pokemon, and shinies after each trial. I wonder how it will be.
Can we only save a certain number of pictures? Is so, can it not be really limited!
Can we PLEASE have them saveable in game and not on the 3ds system, where you can access them in the PC?
Can we send pictures to our friends?
Can we make Albums? I wanna make an album for each island.
Is there gonna be unlockable stuff. Like you cant do Flynium Z pose until you get the Z move/ Certain background have to wait until later.
Im seriously so hyped for this.
And the Mantine Swim thing just looks so fun. I complained SM didnt have anything for non battlers to do, they are fixing that really quick!
The new clothes look pretty great.
Mina Trial seems interesting since the character (the new name is Ray which is actually a good name) is just in one of the houses.
Totem Marowak increases speed. Hopefully it has thick club.
They sure do love MAreep line. Definitely gonna be on second island.
Heracross is a nice addition. I feel like they are gonna be adding all the mega pokemon into this game
Tyranitar-awesome addition!
Houdour and Electrike are both very cool additions! Fueling my mega speculation
They have Tropius in literally every pokemon game except FRLG and SM. They LOVE Tropius.
Zorua is pretty decent still weird to catch it in the wild
Volcarona is AWESOME hopefully laversta and Larvitar can be found early (Volcarona should have been a pseudo)
Sorry for the huge wall nobody will read, but Im really hyped for these games, however, I dont think Johto Alola forms are happening. Just nothing points to it happening
I found this on the website: “As you explore Alola in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, you’ll meet Pokémon new to the region that didn’t appear in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. You’ll see some familiar faces, too.” SOME familiar faces, TOO? Just some? This means there will be more then 5 new pokemon?
OH MY GOD.
Ok why doesn’t Falkner use a Hoothoot…
All the johto gym rosters are stupid, remember?
Chuck’s team was just dumb, like why not have a Heracross or Hitmontop.
Hey, @Govnah, how far are you in Persona 5?
Burger man palace
Oh boi, how far into the Palace are you?
Not far im stuck
Burger man? You mean Okumura?
Yeah
His dungeon is annoying haha
Shido’s is a little more annoying imo
Eh… I didn’t mind it as much as others seemed to.
I am excited to do some shiny hunting in Gold (or Silver) at some point! I’ve never actually found a shiny in those games so this is the perfect chance to try. I have to say though, I’m also very excited for Ruby and Sapphire to be released on the Virtual Console (which may not be on the 3DS at all…)
Time to SR for a Shiny Chikorita in Silver 😛
SR is Silver is so stupid, just breed, since IVs determine shinyness.
Idk im crazy
And got my first badge
Now to the sprout tower
Im soft resetting
Are you for serious?
yes
Nice knowing ya
??? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1506093110349.png
oh wow looks it not her neck and its hair
Yeah I said that earlier
Is that Kalos Penthagon? Sinnoh confirmed (random)
It’s Leah from Stardew Valley
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/stardewvalley/images/8/8c/Leah-Portrait_192px.png/revision/latest?cb=20160306051756
I am talking about these jewels.
Well that is definitely not Wicke.
Is it wrong that my Totodile is already level 17
I mean it’s not wrong necessarily but that is really crazy
Maybe I’m just that good at pokemans
Well sprout tower is impossible with totodile if you don’t have a pidgey sooo
I murderaped that place easy
Well I mean it’s easy when you have a level 17 totodile
>impossible
>Gold & Silver
This game is a cakewalk.
Ok well I’m exaggerating but I always had trouble with it. I would catch a Pidgey just to deal with that
Just finished watching Kingsman: The Golden Circle. It was deserved more than its RottenTomato rating, but it was not as good as the first movie. Now I am going to head home to begin my Silver run. For those who have already started, are you having a great time despite the game being a couple years under being 2 decades old.
Not playing GS but here’s a team
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aa2351d582c0c7e60cefcdebdcd461a1ad4ba3c85eb719ea86c372e479c4990a.png
Also I am perplexed about how trading works for the VC games, do you have to be in the same room as the other person in order to trade? We can’t do it through Wi-Fi?
It’s local wireless only
And that is why I don’t have any trade Evolutions on my team.
As I am new to the VC business, it says that there are no restor points in the game. Am I still able to save normally like any other Pokémon games, or are there implications of the lack of this feature that would affect this?
Yeah it’s just like playing it on GBC
Thanks.
I’m just starting my playthrough of Silver version and I’d by lying on how excited I am to start my journey through Jhoto again. I’m really tempted to get a shiny totodile but that may be a really big task since the chances are really low. I can try at best.
On a late note, I still can’t wait until USUM comes out, who knew that you can surf on a mantine and all the pokemon that never showed up in SM. I can really be more diverse with my team. The main problem with my Moon team is that Rock types give me trouble so here’s hoping I can choose better pokemon to cover weaknesses
Updated USUM team
Decidueye
Ribombee
Alolan Ninetails
Toxapex
Goodra
Zoroark/Houndoom
Y not use 2 more Alola pokemon?
Because Zoroark and Ribombee
I mean it’s like with Platinum and BW2, people are more likely to use old Pokemon that are added into the third version.
Because she doesn’t want to?
I’m probably switching Shiinotic for Tropius and already Golisopod for Mantine
Because I don’t like any that would fit on my team
Ok that’s a nice team, of all of those Pkms, Toxapex and Houndoom are the only ones I don’t love. The rest are amazing.
It seems u can’t give up on Ribombee and Alolan Ninetails ……these was in ur team right?
That’s a pretty nice team, it’s a good balance of offense and defense. I’m getting Litten as a starter, and also I’ll most likely use an Araquanid and Dedenne.
Who cares! I know that it’s a little late, but that USUM trailer blew my F*CKING MIND
Atm Mantine ride is the #1 thing I have ever seen in a Pokémon game to get me soooooo hyped!!!!!
Sad now I can’t use Houndoom because Incinroar overlaps it completely, but I was right! Tropius did come to Alola
This trailer made my day and possibly weekend!
I can’t believe you’re passing up houndoom for Incineroar
Sticking true to my word
-I don’t want to reuse Popplio
-And my Brothers already claimed Rowlet
-And I never stray from my starter (I did once and it ended with me deleting the file 2 days later)
If you want a cool fire starter, may I recommend a Typhlosion? Or perhaps an Infernape
I like them, but I like Incineroar too
Hau already has 4 Pokémon when you battle him in Paniola Town. I’m pretty excited about that https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9439edc6738813099f43b634536a9eeb960e54bc3f2c383d6f195fe9d7153146.png
I already loved it… The game today went up 12 fold for me!
But, Hau and Lilli didn’t age! I wonder what the actual story is…
I guess they are added in the league of Pokémon characters that don’t age-like Ash.
I’m so happy that they are back seem to be having slightly altered roles (Like becoming more trainer like) and Hau’s secret
Could he already have Komala even though you don’t get one until Akala island? Or it could be, Starter, Pikachu, Eevee or Eeveelution, and Crabrawler. Actually it might be the latter.
He may add one of the New Pokémon to his arsenal
ITS THE TRAINER SCHOOL OMGGG WE GETTING ZORUA EARLY I CANT HOLD BACK THE TEARS https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/079928f7979204a0d26daacd5a71e9d05645db9f8128dca90383069382c2d9c9.png
Now what could those last 2 empty slots be? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/503b070dfa9413a427fc0abf85427b78b3fb482d99c9ceb994616a5715ac2be7.png
Photo Club and Photo Club bonus. It needs two sections.
I could see one being Photo Club but the other hrm… dunno.
Yea, I was just joking. Photo Club has already been heavily advertised so if it did have its own section then it would have already. It is probably in the section called Game System.
Possibly. That would make sense too who knows.
Would you change your USUM team if Dragon/Fairy Alolan Dragonite would be added?
No. I would catch one, but not for my team
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g4IszIQr_c
The more you mention it, the less likely it will happen
I’m pretty sure GF can’t hear us
I’m actually Masuda I’m removing Alolan dragonite k thx bye
Yesssss
Yeah I would, but I doubt it will happen.
