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?
I like these….http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1506138695071.jpg

I think they hide more interesting stuff
How much time did this take you?
5 minutes
So other people don’t have to sit half an hour to make a sketch look good. Huh.
The more you draw, the quicker you can sketch
people do gesture drawings like these in 30 seconds

It’s just about time u can become faster if u keep training.
Watch USUM Mina’s trial be as good as SM Sophocles’
In the trailer after saying ”let my Trial begin” (or something like that) we cut to a battle with her where she has 3 pokemon.
Just an editing trick, there’s no way a trial would consist only of a battle
it has to be something even lamer than that for it to be called a trialLol his sucked. They literally couldnt think of anything for his
I just want to say that this year has been fucking amazing for gaming and absolutely terrible for everything else
If u r playing game so much u can’t take care about everything else.
Verlisify thinks we getting a USUM demo because the PC name in the latest trailer was Ray lol.
Word of God
He says because in the ORAS demo, PC name was Orlando while the gen 3 protag’s official name is Brendan. Its a weird theory and i honestly dont hope they’re doing a demo, you saw what happened with SM
But Ray protag’s official name of USUM
No its not https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c636e0d2eec47a033748c73adb6f337477429e2038e1cd572e1438e91847c149.jpg
I don’t give a fuccck about his name he looks like a BRAT.
This is kinda far fetched honestly
Wat the link between demo ad Ray???
The official gen 7 male protagonist name is Sun, not Ray.
no its not
Yes it is? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c636e0d2eec47a033748c73adb6f337477429e2038e1cd572e1438e91847c149.jpg
No it isn’t. Bulbapedia is wrong. Look at the video is posted at 1:06
Everybody thought that Calem was called Xavier at first too because of trailer footage lol
???
but its not the same situation. This is literally the only other name we have for them so thats the name that should be used.
I think SM introduce the worst protagonist.
In USUM is Ray.
Male – Elio
Female – Selene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ojd6FzTaEM
But, what’s behind the logic of that?
I just caught a Skarmory in Moon (in wild grass) with a Metal Coat. That’s a 0.005% chance. I’m going out to get a lottery ticket!
When I choose my team back then. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d854664607d6dbcd13c9192a319727b6a52f53b0802d65c655c33d85684229ae.jpg
ok to clairy
the SuMo and USUM protagonists ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Sun and Moon’s protags are named Elio and Selene
USUM’s protags are named Ray and Ailey
I see but they look almost the same.
??? https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sun_(Adventures)
bulbapedia
is
wrong
about
the
names
To add on to what @starstorm295:disqus said, the manga names are different from the game ones. Like Dawn is Platinum.
Elio and Selene?… wasn’t that Sun and Moon? In the demo the boy was called Sun
I know Super Mario Odyssey comes out next month but I’m also excited about the Superstar Saga remake coming out a few weeks earlier. This game is my childhood, right next to Pokemon and Yoshi’s Island, so it means a whole lot to me. I feel like I’ll be disappointed by some of the changes to gameplay and sprites and stuff, but so far it all looks great!
so i loaded up a platinum run I never finished.
I really dont remember what my team plan was
my current team is
Driflimb – Poppy
Leafeon – Mint
Floatzel – Leelee
Monferno – Charlie
then two HM slaves…
Bibarel and…?
abra for teleport
Is it bad that I actually really like Bibarel? (And Abra)
I think I’ll go back to catch a gible and then get a lumineon later
Back then I thought it was Raikou brain ……they change the head design though but still one of my fav. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_0noTJ6jwHU/VKb440XOl9I/AAAAAAAAAik/DIkZ4h6BRIc/s1600/raikou.jpg

Just under 12 minutes.
The Gamexplain quality.

There are some unused voice lines here
A lot of unused voicelines.. it seems joker was set to have a larger talking role.. he already talks more than Yu and Minato, and says a few things in the anime cutscenes.
Some of the lines just don’t really fit as much…
Yoooo I need a Gible

idk i found it on google and i liked it
I like it too. lets be friends
I think Mina’s trial might take place on Exeggutor Island
I am thinking the same as well. There used to be a trial there in SM.
”Screaming”, “gagging”, etc
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0a80e1c10fe2ab0825aa360863b9ebbd3956294ae64991fc30720128135d6879.jpg
You lucky son of a buck…
Your game is glitched! If you catch it, it will corrupt your save file!
(My reasoning as a 7 year old).
When we r kids my brother met the same pokmn that u met and press run.
Nice. I found a shiny tentacool randomly in oras. Definitely unexpected, but welcomed
Lucky! Hope I find some soon.
Eyy I just got a shiny today too
T_T catches a beautiful Scyther during the Bug Catching contest gets Third place and somehow a rinky Kakuna places second…
Well I guess I can turn it into a Scizor…
Git better
You have to catch it at full hp for the best chance
So, what’s everyone’s GS team, planned or current?
4 badges, team is
Sobek the Croconaw
Gia the Graveller
Mina the Golbat
Guillotin the Pinsir
Juno the Miltank
Apollo the Sunkern
All Level 26 besides Apollo who’s kinda stuck in the daycare rn as I grind the others, but after he learns Synthesis I’ve got the Sun Stone for him
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aa2351d582c0c7e60cefcdebdcd461a1ad4ba3c85eb719ea86c372e479c4990a.png
my johto star team
U can’t catch that dog until post game.
She said Johto, not GS
Safari zone fam
Isn’t the Safari Zone not in G/S?
Dear God why is Sunkern unusable
2 badges at the moment.
Quilava
Jigglypuff
Both Lv. 20
Currently I am furiously butting Jigglypuff’s head to obtain a Heracross. No luck so far.
Beat Jasmine and just got to Mahogany. Need to train a bit as my team is
Quilava, Quagsire, Golbat, Eevee (Umbreon), Heracross and Miltank. All are 29 except for Quilava who’s 32. Need to do a bit more levelling before tackling the Lake of Rage and Team Rocket
Jigglypuff has been bashing its head into the two trees on route 33 and so far 24 Aipoms, a countless number of Spearows, and 0 Heracross have dropped from these trees. Is it just me, or does Heracross have an appearance rate of 1%?
Sometimes you just get lucky. I know that it only appears on the low chance of trees and even then it’s like 30%.
I got super lucky and it was my first headbutt encounter as soon as I got the TM and backtracked through Ilex Forest to route 33
Train an Aipom.
Welp, Pokken DX is just a lame port.
“Does this game look better than the Wii U version? What resolution does it run at?
Yes, but not by much. The game runs at 1280×720 at 60fps in both docked and portable modes. In contrast the Wii U version ran at 960×720. The game appears to have the same textures as the Wii U version as opposed to the higher quality arcade textures.”
Also they literally just added one new character, not counting the arcade characters that have been out for a while
You can always hope for DLC
Yeah they added only one new character, but the only four were unusable for most people sooo
Yeah, its a pretty sad excuse for a “Deluxe” version, but im having a lot of fun with it
Since I never got the WiiU version I’m somewhat OK with it, should’ve been the arcade textures though.
Where’s the glasses? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1506195804472.jpg
you love 4chan
It seems u too
Anyone can read a link.
Is that a bad thing?
No, but I don’t have to visit 4chan to know that’s a 4chan link.
WHERE CAN I GET THIS POSTER I NEED IT NNNNNOOOOWWWW
I made a list of old okemon coming o the Alola Dex. We have 100 new pokemon (two of which are Burst and Assmbly, so 98):
Tropius;
Larvesta; Volcarona;
Miensfoo; Mienshao;
Mareep; Flaffy; Ampharos;
Larvitar; Pupitar; Tyranithar;
Houndour; Houndoom;
Electrike; Manectric;
Zorua; Zoroark;
Swirlix; Slurpuff
Inkay; Malamar;
Litwick; Lampent; Chandelure;
Dedenne;
Heracross.
Mantyke; Mantine
28 so far, 70 ‘mon missing (I can see Spritzee and Aromatisse in the dex because of Swirlix)
I’d kinda be weary about Pokémon that only appear as props, on signs, etc because sometimes they’re not in the Dex (only Pokemon in the Dex that appears in the Battle Royale Dome entrances is Gyarados)
And now technically Tyranitar
But for all we know it could look different
Over 2 hours later. I got myself a Heracross. If I didn’t have a Jigglypuff I couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to catch one.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3507dc90897e822f78f0ee9520daed9d5651a3ba0642aa30c5310281765b8e3e.jpg
Nice, Heracross is great, even back in G/S.
To celebrate Mantine Surf, what would be your Pokéride for each category? Ordinary fully evolved Pokémon btw
Professor Kukui for all categories.
Lewd ?
Change Kukui for Burnett
Or for Wicke ?
Ayyy

Is it true that Pokemon from G/S transferred to SM or USUM will always have their hidden ability?
If it’s the same as RGBY then yeah
There are actually a few more that it will be worthwhile for, not just Legendaries this time.
Legendaries didnt even cross my mind tbh, but which ones are worthwile?
Well Sap Sipper Miltank, too me days to find one in XY
Moxie Heracross
That’s all I got
Well Heracross is definitely on my list. Wasnt aware that Miltank had sap sipper though, where can you catch one in Silver?
If Miltank is in the Safari Zone then I’d want it in that ball, otherwise you can get it in any other ball in SuMo, with HA.
Heracross has already been available with Moxie in 4 sets of games.
It’s mostly ones in apricorn balls that can’t have their HA in any of those balls, like Nidoran. Multiscale Lugia is good, as is Regenerator Ho-Oh, though available via Dream Radar.
