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?
Well I’m makin’ my idea of a team now with these newbie’s around
-Incineroar
-Lycanroc Dusk form
-Shiinotic or Tropius
-Mantine
And as other so far considerable are: Heracross and Dedenne
And we got about 26 confirmed newbies meaning we have about 70 unseen Pokémon thus far (2 are UB’s so that’s why it’s not 72)
hehe I remember using Heracross in my white, Close combat and Mega horn are moves so fun to use, I’d definitely recommend using it
Same my first non Unovan Pokémon on White was my beautiful Heracross that literally crushed everything in its wake
Ultra Moon Team (so far):
Primarina
Lycanroc (Dusk Form)
Raichu (Alola Form)
Zoroark
Bewear
Ultra Sun Team (so far)
Incineroar
Lycanroc (Midday Form)
Ninetales (Alola Form)
Kommo-o
Toucannon
Omg i was organizing my boxes and i found a 5IV Love Ball Goomy
That moment when everyone thinks you listening to normal music, then your listening to the Johto Journey’s theme you bought on your iPod
But Kurusu, Johto Journeys is the ultimate normal music! It doesn’t get much better than that.
So true
Pls don’t call popular mainstream songs “normal music” it makes it look like that listening to music that’s actually good and from an anime or other media as something “””weird””” 😛
The best reveal from today is that Volcarona is in the dex, hopefully we can find a low level one to use too
I second that notion.
I think the new Minigame is my favorite Minigame and my favorite passtime of the whole series
Woah…slow down there, kid. You haven’t even played it yet.
Looks way more fun than Pokeatholon, Amity Square and all those at least and dem graphics with da waves look awesome
Okay it does look fun but the pokeathlon was awesome. I dont think anything can top that
Today has been a busy day. A trailer, Kingsman, unexpected yardwork, now I’m on a 3 hour drive to visit my sibling at their college. I’ll finally be able to start my Silver Run. Go Cyndaquil!
I had many nightmare yesterday but only one dream save my night ….it was about Necrozma ….I was in the cinema to watch movie called Necrozma, I forget that Necrozma is actually a pkmn then so it’s not animation movie it fucking real movie …..The only scene that I remember when he ready to fly he cause thunderous sound that make the crowd scared but make me happy and he drilled the ground while doing that.
I HAVE BEEN SMASHING CROCONAW’S SKULL INTO TREES FOR HOURS AND NO FREAKIN HERACROSS
That’s really made lough ………..I always have the same issue I am Scizor fan but having Heracross early is a big support to ur team.
“All headbuttable trees contain wild Pokémon, but different trees have different chances of creating an encounter after Headbutt is used. The headbuttable trees in an area also generate their encounters from different sets of Pokémon depending on whether they have moderate encounter chances or low encounter chances. For example, on Route 44, trees with moderate encounter chances may only contain Spearow or Aipom, while trees with a low encounter chance may also contain Heracross.”
Heracross only on Route 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 42, 43, 44
I know and I had a sure fire way to get a Heracross…
Route 33 only has 2 trees and they list Heracross in one of them so they have to have them
*Insert pokemon name* you have failed Ferrum https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7f11b51790b886fafa20988f0258ea2b1ea914cc9431d39cb81f385b4f297716.jpg
Green Arrowl
Owliver Quill
Robin Hoot
Owliam Tell
The nickname possibilities are endless with Deci
If its male i name it Oliver
Found a Lv. 5 Jigglypuff (5% encounter rate) on Route 46 after 3 Pokémon. I’m feeling lucky.
And I critical hitted it to death. Sigh.
Best Buy had the USUM dual pack for $13! Was dead after five minutes however.
For some reason Disqus logs me out every time I refresh the page and doesn’t let me upload photos (either ”you must be logged in to upload pictures” (I’m logged in) or „make sure the picture is…” (I uploaded photos before and nothing went wrong) ). I’m on my phone. Any help, please?!

The old Heracross sprites look kinda creepy
Sadly the lure ball I tried catching it in broke
*hello darkness my old friend*
Yeah..

Just out of curiosity, how many languages do you know? I know, well, Polish (my first language), English and a little of German (still learning)
Ashdautas Vrasubatlat
If I could speak Earthen I’d list it
That was orcish
Same thing
Four. 🙂
I speak fluent English and American.
You meant Murrican.
You mean the Jumper-English and the Sweater-English?
Is more like Traditional english and simplified english.
So What are Canadian and Australlian?
Maple Leaf English and Kangaroo English.
So:
Traditional
Simplified
Maple Leaf
Kangaroo
Oi mate, nice day for a drink innit, bruv?
Portuguese, Spanish, English and a little bit of French and some little stuff of Latin
I know some Polish as well! However, only cuss words sadly :P.
Oh really? Show me What you’ve got, bruh, give me all the k*rwas you know!
It’s mainly kurwa and pizda.
That’s like, 2% of our curse words
Dutch has like, not many good ones. We mainly stick to the English ones.
English, limited Spanish, some German and want to learn Gaelic and Italian
Just English, French, and a wee bit of Japanese.
Alright after 3 hours of smashing Croconaw into trees (surely well over the maximum amount of recommended drain bamage) I have my Heracross yay
Badges 2
Croconaw 20
Zubat 16
Heracross 11
Well unfortunately this’ll be it until blackthorn…because those dumb Devi put my favorites so far away

Ok so Metroid is fun. But once you get the screw attack
ITS REALLY FUN
That’s what she said.
Sounds like Metroid has turned into a bit of a life simulation game…
Y’all spending hours in Silver while i stopped after 25 mins. Have a lv8 chikorita and lv3 sentret LOOOL
That’s $25/hour! :O
I’ve been playing Persona 5
I need to start playing that one too. Maybe when I relocate my PS4 to my dorm.
You really should. I’ve clocked in over 200 hours
That’s why I didn’t play lol. I’m only at the first palace, I actually don’t know how hard this game will be. I always feared fucking up the calendar and getting stuck but I don’t know how hard that is.
Persona games are kinda hard. You don’t need to worry about that since the only real way to get a Game Over (besides you dying) is to wait for the deadline to expire. Just get through the Palace, take the Treasure, and enjoy the free time you have after (Level up Confidants)
But how do I know if I’m spending my free time wrong? Like when should you do palaces and when should you do other stuff?
I say do them as soon as you can. Try to clear them in a few days (The least amount for most being 3 days). Then, when you have the Palace beat, spend the rest of the time you have left to do whatever while you await the change of heart. I’m not very good at explaining stuff, so sorry if this doesn’t help
Half of my playtime has spent trying to level Jigglypuff to Lv. 9 when it learns its first attacking move-Pound.
I’m kinda proud of this one: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2c478e9346246f73d68a8a43eebb44183acee2190513e4fc82e9c99809c9a8d0.jpg
I swear if I see one Fairy Dragonite again, Imma send y’all to neverland to never return.
Better yet, send them to the Shadow Realm
Meh I see no real reason for a Fairy type Dragon I mean Dragonite doesn’t possess many qualities that aren’t Dragon related and if anything I feel it would be more likely to become Dragon/Water
Cause most draw it being more like Dragonair (which doesn’t make sense based on the reason why they look different) but even so, Dragonair resembles a Water Serpent of sorts, creates weather changes and the works
So Dragon/Water makes way more sense (and is more preferred) than Dragon/Fairy
I’m just awaiting all the negative comments and how much people will fight me on this, but I stick by my story
It should look more like dragonair
I got the Gold theme running on my 3DS and it’s REALLY cool. I don’t see myself changing this for a long while. Ho-oh Bros. unite.
Can a mod ban another ban mod? Only one way to find out.
It would be like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Ready to implode the universe?
If you can ban yourself theeen
Team Galactic theme >>>>> all others, sorry
Shouldn’t Mario be called Sweater Man in the States?
He’s called Jump Man because he jumps, not because he wears a jumper (he doesn’t even).
*tfw you made a bad joke and people take it for serious*
Would you rather he be called that?
I’d like to see a game where an old man Mario sits next to a fireplace in a cozy sweater with some hot chocolate and all the Luma’s sitting around him. All you do is flip pages of a storybook.
Not really proud of this one (Fairy/Psychic) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b8638f8606267f11ee74f590d9cdac7fa1a1004217359717a4296367ca48ba32.jpg
Is that a Care Bear?
Pretty much
Compared to that Heracross, this Clefable looks like it’s in extreme agony.
Looks more like a Mega than a regional form tho
Youngster IAN wants to battle
Has a Diglett and a Mankey…..
A little on the nose if you ask me…
Youngster?
A npc in silver
It just has my name and uses both a ground and a fighting type
And I meant that you’re no youngster in any way :P.
No but the rest is very much like me
It could be a younger me in an alternate universe
I’m trying to get multiple ash hat pikachu. So if I get one with my sun game and put it into pokebank would I be able to start a new game and get multiple pikachus?
Yes.
Nice! Thanks Ultron!
That’s what I’m planning on doing. Watch them not code them into gen 8 though, making our efforts useless
I would hate that! I still mad i had to leave my notched eared pichu behind?
Yeah honestly I would be pissed too 🙁
I still don’t know how to feel about this mantine minigame. It just doesn’t feel like pokemon? Idk what that means but it seems wrong, but also cool, but also completely ridiculous.
Its amazing and as of now almost everyone except you has took a very very positive reaction to it like people are genuinely hyped about it.
– its aesthetically pleasing
– a fun replayable side game
– can travel between islands opens up so many more opportunities
– its very alolan/Hawaiian like
– its bloody amazing
It’s cool, just weird? Like the trainer just flips off the mantine and lands back on it with no training. I *won’t* have a problem with it as long as they add more content to the game that should actually be there, like a replacement for the awful battle tree.
I didn’t see that it allows for travel between the islands. That’s nice, but it’d be nice if we did have to ride the wave and could explore more.
