  1. GOOOOOOODDDDDAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY LIKED FESTIVAL PLAZA AND THE BATTLE TREE!!! NOBODY LIKED HOW POORLY THE BATTLE ROYALE WAS DESIGNED AND HOW IT CRASHED YOUR GAME WHENEVER YOU TRIED TO PLAY IT ON ANYTHING LESS THAN A 3DS ON STEROIDS. EVERYONE WANTED A BATTLE FRONTIER OR SOMETHING NEW. I HAD SUCH HIGH HOPES FOR THESE GAMES!! I REALLY DID!!! _FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC_
    You know what, I got excited for these games and whatever I hype automatically goes to shite….
    I’m just so frigging mad right now…

    • First of all, calm down.

      It’s all subjective for one.

      I liked the Battle Tree. It never advertised itself as anything more than a Tower clone, but innovates by using Megas and Z-Moves. We’ve also got returning characters which is great fanservice. It’s probably the best Tower clone so far, and even though it’s boring and repetitive it’s better than its predecessors.

      Battle Royale was an innovative new game mode. Should they have held it off for hardware that handles it better? Yes. It has the same amount of models on screen as Triples/Rotation does, and they got removed because of that and also because Rotation sucked. But to be honest, it’s a good game mode that you’re never forced to use at all. I really enjoyed the Battle Royale, and I know others have too. I’m probably a bit biased because I have a new 3DS so it handles it better, but tbh the horrid FPS isn’t as bad as it could be because it’s a turn based game. It still majorly lowers enjoyment but it isn’t the end of the world.

      The Battle Subway and Battle Institute stayed in BW2, which introduced the PWT. Just because old features are staying in a third version doesn’t mean there’ll be no new features at all. Even if there is no new battle features, it won’t be the fault of these two facilities because they’ll probably just be copy pasted from SuMo with differences such as giving Alola mons tutor moves and maybe throwing new Alolans (if they happen) and Dusk Form in there.

      Calm down fam, these are all optional side features and seeing as they’re already established in SuMo won’t take enough dev time to justify removing new features. If Game freak really wanted to slap a million filters onto the Battle Tree and call it a whole new thing like they did in Emerald and Platinum, they’d do it and just straight port the old features.

        • Maybe read the rest of the post before immediately trying to deflect? You’re not forced to use the plaza’s functions after an admittedly annoying demo. Yes it sucks its the way we get online, but it’s honestly not a big deal fam.

          Reply
          • I read it but still
            I mean honestly I HAVE to use the function regardless because of battling online. It’s just… why… I really just… I can’t anymore this year has sucked enough already and now this has to go and happen jesus christ

          • Fam. It’s not a big deal. Yes it’s how we get online, but besides the demo (which I acknowledged and criticised) it’s pretty much a few extra seconds to get online each time: it’s dumb but it’s not life ruining.

            These games are just updated versions of Sun and Moon. If you didn’t see all these features returning, I don’t know what to say besides get over it.

          • I know i just thought this game would actually have something resembling a post game this time
            I’m just gonna stop talking for now since all it’s gonna do is create problems..

  2. > Battle Tree

    *screaming ultron in the background*

    I just hope each of these features become a bit more refined and improved.

    Battle Tree really just needs an extra mode or two (Rental and Swap, or Rental and Inverse?) to spice it up. Although people have pointed out the need for online multi, and as well as this we obviously need more Battle Legends – especially from Johto. Also use all the Trial Captains.

    Battle Royale… Maybe add another rank where people use banned legendaries? Besides maybe increasing the chance of the Masked Royale appearing I just can’t think of ways to improve it besides allowing you to undertake battles with your friends in the Dome, so you don’t need four people to enjoy the mode with them.

    Finder just needs to become a better varied feature. Either add more Pokémon to the mix, or give the current Pokémon more emotions, poses, etc. Also change the spawn rates of some Pokémon because it’s boring getting the same Pokémon a million times and then the rare one once.

    Festival Plaza…. Eww. Please just shift all the online features out of there and make it its own thing. Also, streamline it a bit, add more variety, and don’t make the tutorial as boring. Maybe

    Pelago is pretty much perfect IMO, I guess just make the EXP and happiness/hatching a bit faster and make the wild Pokémon have their HAs because they’re not worth the hassle imo. Or add exclusives to it, preferably Pokémon not in the AloDex.

    Really hope Island Scan comes back too, with a new variety of Pokémon. Maybe the Sinnoh and Hoenn Starters, and Sina and Dexio can provide the Kanto and Kalos starters? Then all starters would be available in Gen VII.

    • I mean to be fair they could fix Battle Royales by making it that the game doesn’t end when one trainer is out of mons… it makes games either really short or really crap cause you have to avoid a certain person to make sure the game still goes on. I’d be fine with it if they did that

  3. i would love it if poke finder allows you to find legendary pokemon as a new update of the game when it comes out just like in pokemon snap

  4. I thought the Battle Tree was ok, could have included more legendary trainers but overall it was a decent addition. Obviously not Frontier calibre but it wasnt as bad as some people make it out to be either

  8. I think the battle tree is a great way to reveal the “revamped” theme of USUM – extending the battle tree to fit more old characters and trainers (like the PWT in black and white) would be great

  9. Alright I have calmed down a lil
    Tbh I’m just pissed about the plaza returning, like come the hell on literally nobody liked that trash. I’d rather drown myself in a septic tank than use that
    I guess the rest can still be improved

    Though Pelago is perfect already so props for that
    Can we make it have story relevance? I can’t be the only one who finds it weird that we can’t tell Lusamine her husband us living on an island that has trees that grow jellybeans

  13. Doing 100+ moderately difficult battles with no way of making each battle unique and if you lose once you lose ALL of your progress.

    It’s not fun.

    It’s not intresting. It just isn’t. If any other rpg did something like this people would loathe it

    Adding two or three more characters isn’t going to fix it. Ffs GameFreak. Just give us back the battle frontier. Stop fucking over your fans. This is literally one of the three things people ask for in every Pokémon game and I don’t know why this isn’t a standard feature of every game.

    Reply
          • They include this same facility in every game and every game fan ask for something different. I really dont get it. They wont listen to the fans.

          • Because they know they don’t have to. They don’t have to change. Because they have a franchise that has been built on a foundation of not changing for 20 years. And they don’t have geniuses like Miyamoto to help them progress the games forward.

            It’s honestly baffling how much change has happened in Mario and Zelda while Pokemon is functionally the same.

            Because Pokémon fans don’t demand anything more. They’re scared of change. Just the thought of a Pokémon game that tries to change the formula gets them all upset

            As long as people keep buying these games and don’t deman anything, GameFreak will keep doing this

          • All we want is a post game and a bit more story. SuMo was honestly close. Even if it’s functionally the same is it really that hard to add enough to ensure the game doesn’t die in two months?

    • Exactly. It’s so lazy. It’s a tiny step up from the battle tower, but what is that honestly saying? It’s not innovative, it’s not fun. It’s just a skin of the battle tree. Good for the people who enjoy it though. It’s way too repetitive for me and take forever to get to the top. I even liked the battle tree/building in B2W2 better than this

        • You know they have limited dev time and have to choose between things to implement, right?

          Especially since Gens 6 and 7 were obviously rushed for the good of the franchise

          Reply
          • Innovative isn’t even hard to compliment really, and I’d rather for them to not rush stuff if it removes features that people liked from previous games.

            And gen 7 is not really rushed, they just added an important feature last minute and that’s it.

          • I mean… I GUESS I still have faith in USUM because they have some things I still adore… but like… this hurts

          • Gen 6 and 7 are obviously rushed due to the lack of polish and content they have compared to earlier installments in the franchise, and it’s obvious what both were rushed for: 6 for the 3DS, and 7 for the anniversary

      • Innovative features? Such as?

        And if their priority is to release games every 1 or 2 years and not to make a new game that gives players a satisfying experience that will last then they shouldn’t be surprised why fans are upset when gen 8 continues to remove things people actually liked

          • I mean, gen 5 added a lot of new stuff BUT they added PWT ( aka better BF) so I’m still thinking that they could’ve made BM and BT better for some reason.

            And new features aren’t here to substitute what these battle facilities are here for: add post game.

          • Gen 5 didn’t add much new at all, it’s probably the least innovative of all the games besides its WiFi and wireless connectivity. Gen 1 introduced the franchise, Gen 2 refined it, Gen 3 reworked the core mechanics into something more like the current games, and Gen 4 added the physical special split. Gen 5 didn’t rock the gameplay majorly at all, but instead utilised what was already there well and had a compelling narrative.

            BW2 was an enhanced game (but with a new story) so it’s not really a fair comparison to base pairs because it had an extra two years of development with most of its assets already made.

          • Yeah, in gen 5 gameplay wasn’t very innovative yet in your gen 6 example you include things like 3d world and cutscenes, (and in gen 7 things like UBs and story) so it wouldn’t be unfair to name the moving sprites, 3d bridges, camera movement and more dynamic battles as innovations.

            And 2 years of development for BW2? Didn’t SM had the same time? But working on a new engine is hard I guess

          • That’s the whole point. Sun and Moon was a new engine with a completely new region, BW2 had most of its assets already existing because it had its own dev time + black and whites

            Those aren’t as innovative because Game freak had been working in 2D for years – that was simply building on what was already there. Innovative, but not as much so.

          • Other than fairy type and cosmetics (3D etc.), they removed most of the gen 6 features.

            Alolan Forms are great but they take the same amount of time if not less than new Pokémon

            Ultra Beasts are renamed legends

            Bigger story conveyed through unskippable cutscenes rather than gameplay

            Good idea bad execution

            Good feature that doesn’t take that much time to implement.

            Goona be removed next gen

            “Expanded”upon from Amie

          • So? Even if they’re removed next gen, they remain in the base game and still take time to innovate and implement? It’s not like the time they spent on it magically comes back the gen it’s removed. Battle Frontier was removed yet you don’t see people stop crying about how innovative it was.

            The concept of Alola Forms and Ultra Beasts probably would’ve taken time to make before even beginning to design individuals, hence why I said it’d add to dev time.

            That expansion still takes time lol

            UBs aren’t just renamed legends seeing as their design conventions completely push the boundaries of previous Pokémon design, especially since they have to look alien yet still believable in their universe.

          • *inhale*

            If you aren’t going to keep the features that expand your game… YOU ARE NOT INNOVATING.

            That would be like when they made HD TVs for the first time they stopped selling them and just made more CRTs after a year even though it was better in every way.

            Wouldn’t that be stupid? Huh? That’s what pokemon fucking does!

            Doesn’t matter how good a feature is! It probably won’t be in the next one

          • It’s innovative at the time, even if it isn’t maintained. Innovation literally just means new. Those innovations still took time to make, even if they’re removed after. They’re innovating each individual game, even if the innovation doesn’t stay the whole franchise. Because the thing about Game freak is that it isn’t like they just strip away features and leave nothing, they change and innovate and add new things every gen.

            The difference between TVs and Pokemon is that they’re not constant. Every Pokemon game has different features, and add and subtract, not just add on. It’s a whole different beast entirely. Whilst HD is better than CRT objectively in pretty much every single way, Pokémon removes and adds features that are mostly subjectively better or worse.

          • They’re not just taking away tho. They add and subtract side features whilst there’s never been a major core change removed. Phys/Special split? Still here. Steel and Dark? Still here. Special split? Still here. Fairies? Still here. Megas? Replaced with something similar and kept as a post game function, and is being kept on hold because the devs have shown interest in returning it to the center stage.

  14. This mostly doesn’t really surprise me that these returned honestly. The Festival Plaza was the main online feature for the gen like PSS, so I expected this. I saw the Battle Royale and Poke Pelago on the new map, so there’s that. And the Poke Finder was something that I knew some people would want (considering they can get mons outside the Dex).

    The only one I was surprised about returning was the Battle Tree. I figured they might pull a Emerald or Platinum and modify the battle facility/completely transform it this time around. Even as it returns, I’m curious to see who we can Battle at the tree now in these new games.

        • There’s ‘afraid of change’ and ‘can’t be bothered with unnecessary changes when the current system can still be altered into something so much better’

          If anything changes to Pokémon’s game play belongs in spin offs

          Reply
          • I mean yeah they risk losing money over fixing a system that isn’t really broken considering most people complaining are out of their target audience but ehhhhhh

          • It’s not like their target audience even plays Pokémon. Kids don’t care about Pokémon. Their audience is older.

            So do something new with the series. You played the same game for 7 gens. Nothing about the formula has changed. The battle system is still the same boring repetitive system.

            Just try something new. How could you possibly know it wouldn’t work if thy never tried? Even button timed events like in Mario and Luigi RPGs would be better.

    • The problem is, Pokemon is very important competitively thanks to the battle system so I doubt they’ll change that.

      Unless they just play Gen 7 competitively from now on

    • The battle system is the only thing I don’t want changed, it’s honestly what makes the game what it is IMO

    • Mario, at its core, is a platformer. It’s stayed a platformer consistently.

      Zelda, at its core, is about exploration and dungeon crawling. It’s still about that at its core.

      Pokémon at its core is a turn based RPG, a genre that is hard to innovate to the same extent because it’s more specific. There’s also the fact Pokémon’s spent longer without the same extent of innovation that it would inevitably lead to an uproar, even if the new system is good, because some would miss the old system.

        • Final Fantasy was a franchise whose combat system were changing slowly with each new installment, like they stopped being turn based at 4, so it’s not really a fair comparison when FF combat turned slowly into an action like game and Pokemon is still completely turn based.

          Also, FFXV combat looks so different it’s because it was supposed to be a spin off and they couldn’t be bothered to change the battle system so

          Reply
        • Final Fantasy, as Kuppo said, was changed years ago and to be honest aren’t even that closely related to each other because every number is a new installment with an all new universe and game play system

          Reply
          • Yes, but I mean not 2D platformers, which was what the series was built as. It completely changes how you play the games.

          • The thing is a change to a 3D world can be made with changes to a platformer, yet its still a platformer. It stayed a platformer just like Pokemon stayed a turn based RPG, it’s just that turn based RPG isn’t as flexible and innovative as something as simple as ‘jump and run’ (which a platformer is)

          • It totally is though? Undertale, Xenoblade, Mario RPGs, are only a few examples but they are all RPGs that make the battle system unique and interactive and you aren’t just pressing buttons

          • Yeah because the battle system is what sells Pokémon. Who stands in line at gamestop at 11 o’clock st night to get the new Pokémon game because of DAT BATTLE SYSTEM

            That boring repetitive RNG based battle system that hasn’t changed in 20 years

            So fun

          • The combat is part of the gameplay not all of it, when people buy Pokemon they’re thinking of catching and battling with monsters, what’s the type of battle is doesn’t really affect consumers

          • Unless it’s a bad battling system they tried to replace a perfectly fine one that can still be innovated for.

            And it’s still the battling that you spend the majority of time on, catching is primarily done through battle.

          • I wouldn’t really call what they’ve done lately with the combat “innovating” it’s just the same with some mechanics changed

          • It’s not so much the battle system that’s flawed as it is the lack of refinement to it
            Like it still has a LONG way to go

          • Yeah I mean Im not saying that we need to innovate as much as those games, just that it worked well for mario and zelda. I do think pokemon switch will change quite a few things

        • Still fit the description

          “A platform game (or platformer) is a type of video game, and subgenre of action game. It involves guiding a player character or avatar to jump between suspended platforms and/or over obstacles to traverse their environment. The player controls the jumps to avoid letting their character fall to their death or miss necessary jumps”

          And if you mean 2d not being here anymore then I have to say that it’s been like that since 1996 when they made 64 so it’s not really the “last few major Mario games”

  15. “Battle tree” I swear, if it isn’t revamped in any shape or form by adding more battle types or stuff like that, i’m gonna choke someone. Same goes for poke finder they better make it more interesting ( and they will hopefully)

    Reply
  16. Lol forgot about the swear filter so repost without swearing

    Not throwing shade at anyone, just generally asking. Why are people surprised that the Battle Tree is back and acting like it automatically makes the game bad already? Like this isn’t new info? We’ve seen it on the map we’ve had for like a month now, and people were crying about it back then too. It’s also just common sense seeing as other third versions/sequels kept the base game’s facilities and either expanded or added new facilities

    Reply
    • Because Emerald, Platinum, and BW2 all expanded on the battle facilities.
      I guess we all are assuming it will be the same
      Is it correct? Possibly, maybe not, but it’s natural to think that way

      Reply
        • I know,I just said I think we all expected it to be the same
          That’s why I said it might not be a correct thought, more or less how we’re responding is sort of a first reaction sort of thingy
          I’m just hoping expansion happens in some form.

          • Battle Frontier =/= only form of expansion, for all we know GF is adding something new they don’t want to reveal yet or are adding that innovation to existing aspects

    • Tbh I’m kinda surprised that people are surprised that the BT is still here, like, why would they remove it. I just hope they do something better with it.

      Reply
      • They can still do better, they kept an aspect from the base game that probably won’t effect dev time in a huge way because it’ll probably be a straight port/slightly enhanced from from SuMo and isn’t forced upon you at all whilst they’ll probably add at least one alternative?

  20. Story wise I’m still waiting for something like 5th gen. S/M had a great story towards the second half of the second half of the game but it didn’t create the beautifully dark and melancholic atmosphere of BW and B2W2… USUM might yet surprise but I hope they really work on the plot for the switch game(s)

    Reply
      • Yeah, S/M already had a great story but ofc it would be lame if they didn’t change much. All they have to do is see through this promise of “an alternate story” set in the same universe with the same characters (with some development) since both were already solid in S/M

  21. Read some comments below that GameFreak should change the formula and make Pokemon more like Odyssey or Zelda? Hope y’all realise that it is literally impossible to make a game with 800+ animated models and expect it to run, let alone smoothly. Not to mention that the Switch would not be able to handle that kind of power required, not even the PS4 pro could. Possibly the new Xb1 X but even that is a stretch.

    I’m all for change, but an open world Pokemon game will remain impossible for another 10 years, unless technology takes a leap to 2040

  22. Pokémon Vega is a fangame that has a nearly nonsensical story, a shitty level curve, and a worse battle facility than the Madison
    And it’s better than most Pokémon games to date… why?
    Because it has the right atmosphere and an aftergame
    The game feels new, it feels special, unique. It feels pristine. The region is diverse and feels special… but the big thing is this
    Without a battle facility and adding only one new area to the post game… why is it so good?
    .. they expanded on old areas
    When the Pokedex was complete, new parts of previous area opened that held higher level trainers and legendaries and countless events. There was an endless number of new events to do and areas to explore created literally by adding one floor o areas. Gym leader rematches were held in these areas, sidequests were there
    And best of all? Completing the dex unlocked a challenge dungeon LIKE area with hard puzzle and high level Pokémon as well as more legends

    By adding a post game that is even longer than the main game , Pokémon games will feel so much more fulfilling…
    Of course battle facilities are nice too
    But regardless, this would help a lot

  27. Oh the topic of open world, I DO believe we should have open world….to an extent
    Like it’ll have the aspects of it but there will still be a little bit of linearness. Like the game story will adapt to what you do before reaching an overall climax at the end . Levels will balance to player levels and stuff. It won’t be 100% open world, more like 75%.
    The battle system will remain mostly unchanged but the attacks as well as effects like Terrain are constantly shown.
    So like it’ll be open world enough to make choices about where you want to travel, but the story would have alternate paths that end the same way based on where you decide to go

        When it’s your job to make designs. You don’t get artist block. You just keep drawing. Because you’re being payed to do that

        If a 20 something on deviantart can come up with a satisfying design then so can a professional artist working on a long running franchise

        Reply
        • And if you can’t make a satisfactory design when you’ve got perfectly good designs for other Pokémon, it’s your job to not linger on the one that’s not giving good results and then focus on the ones you can get done

          A lot of those designs are too basic or don’t fit perfectly into the artstyle tho? They also could just not fit into the vision gf has for a Mega of the Pokémon

          Reply
          • Concept artists draw hundreds of designs for any given monster or character. You’re telling me that they made all these designs and not a single one was worth iterating on? Especially when it is the most requested mega in your fan base?

            That’s ridiculous

          • They might only do like two or three takes per mon or something
            How else would Incineroar have actually passed through?

          • Well I mean considering they probably need more than one artist to agree on one whilst subjectivity exists + they were probably rushed. Yeah. I can believe they couldn’t get a good concept that was agreed on.

            I mean stuff like Lopunny got through so it’s obvious it’s objective based

      • There’s a lot of artist in GF and they aren’t going to get an artist block all at the same, like, Sugimori was able to design Xerneas and Yveltal with artist block ( with the help of another person of course but still)

The missions where you earn coins by knowing type matchups and such, but having the other people “teleport” where you were trying to walk every time got old really fast. And not being able to preview what an attraction did or sold, and not being able to save and reset if you took a chance and hated it.

  42. YAS!!!!! I beat the league! It was so close right at the end. I was down to Maoswine and Lance down to his strongest Dragonite. We were stuck in a loop of me using my healing items and him using Outrage. Just as I was using my last healing item and getting ready to mount a final attack in desperation his Dragonite got confused. Up until this point I had gone through another round of it being confused and never hitting itself so I wasn’t sure my luck would change. I decided I’d go for it since I had no more healing items. First an Ice Shard to test the waters. I was positive his Dragonite would hit me and I was sure I’d be going through the league yet again. Just in the nick of time his Dragonite was so confused after so many Outrages that it hit itself!!! This was my chance to land one final decisive blow!! And thus I became the new champion of the Indigo plateau

I feel like I learn and grow from seeing some of these shows even in my 20’s. Alright, random moment over.

            Amethyst and Garnet have such little screen time

            Garnet still doesn’t have much of her own character outside of being a fusion

            Amethyst’s issues haven’t been addressed in a long time

            Pearl is STILL obsessed with Rose

            Steven can’t seem to decide if he is Rose quartz or his own person

            Where did mystery girl even go

            Centipeedle what centipeedle

            Plot lines don’t get this messy unless things get off track in the production side

          • I mean Amethyst was touched on a lot before Smoky Quartz, I think that was sort of her character arc.

            I wouldn’t exactly agree, she has character, but she hasn’t been touched on in some time

            The Musical Episode (What was it called?) adressed Pearl’s issue in a way, I think she partially moved on

            Steven is kinda developing character rn, so I think that’ll be decided

            That is true we need more about her

  62. Well my friend and I were debating Lugia’s type and well… Psychic works for it.

    Reasoning: Well you say lives in the ocean means must be Water. FALSE! Stunfisk lives underwater, but he’s not Water type. It causes storms, but I found out why this can justify Psychic. Think of all Lunar Pokémon (or ones affiliated with the Moon. Lunala, Cresselia, Lunatone, ect.) Well what causes the tide? Lunar phases and the Moon. And Lugia controls the tides and creates waves and storms.

    So as theory can go. Lugia draws lunar power to cause waves/storms which is a justifiable reason for Psychic type. Also Ho-Oh changes its wing colors using the sun, so isn’t it plausible Lugia could draw power from the Moon (aka the opposite of Ho-Oh and opposite of the Sun)

    So even if though it could be Water. Well Psychic doesn’t make that little of sense after all

    Reply
    • I think they introduce controlling waves and storms as psychic ability …..I don’t mind it part of Psychic the adapt in different area is amazing idea ……such as Groudon while he live inside the lava but he’s not fire type …..he learn to adapt there ……..according to the original Chinese mythology it should dragon …..we don’t mind seeing dragon live in the water right?…but still don’t mind Psychic though.

    • I am playing Silver and it is a blast. Gold was my first Pokémon game and what got me into the franchise. However back than I didn’t know as much about Pokémon as I do now so I really underutilized the game. So far I ended up using a team with Pokémon that I wouldn’t have tought of back then because they were either to hard to catch and didn’t appeal to me. It has been nearly 15 years since I plated the game, so the fresh perspective is also part of the appeal.

  68. Question Time! Is there a Pokemon you’ve already used on a main campaign of a game that you’d love to use as a regional variant? Like although it’s a over used example something like I’ve used Noctowl so maybe a variant of that line would be cool. It doesn’t need to be a Kanto/Johto mon either. Just used Noctowl because it was the first thing that came to me.

  69. So is Misty a move tutor? How did she get her Gyarados to learn Hurricane? xD I guess just by being a badass. It really should know hurricane though

  71. Has anyone seen the recent poke episode preview?

    USUM is not even released so we have at least 1.5 years of gen 7 and they’re already bringing Solgaleo, Lunala into the plot. Like seriously they’re pacing the plot up big time.
    My question is doesn’t that seem a bit too soon considering they have another year to cover before gen 8 unless in that year they return to Kanto, unless in USUM we return to Kanto…
    Just a thought..

    Picture a fat kid with ice skates who can figure skate and also has the strength of a train

  73. Why the fucc does Pokken Empoleon have four HM moves….

    And they’re all combo finishers

  74. Hello internet welcome to game theory

    Is the Pokémon world actually communist?

    Game theory is crash bandicoot actually a Pokémon

    Game theory is Princess Peach a CLONE of Princess daisy?

    Is princess daisy actually a parasitic alien disguised as a human woman?

    Are Metroids actually lakituuuuuu

    • They are a pain, especially when trading online is no longer possible (pre-gen 6 now). Until I was finally able to go online in gen 5 I barely used trade evolvers. I had my brother to trade with from gen 2 onwards when we got separate games, but until it became built in wireless it was just annoying. Even until recently I couldn’t really try and get people to help me do them due to either not trusting anyone or social anxiety. I don’t necessarily want them removed, but an alternative method that is like Ability Capsule or a bit cheaper in BP could be nice.

  78. Um……….so…..the lone Team Rocket member that steals the generator part for the Kanto Power Plant in HGSS…..is….Is he supposed to be mentally handicapped? Like for real I’m not trying to be an ass or anything. I legitimately want to know. Because his dialog goes well beyond him just being a dumb grunt that doesn’t know what’s up……

  80. I wish we could combine attacks

    example
    Feraligatr uses surf and at the peak of the wave he punches it with Ice Punch flash freezing it into a crashing slab of ice

    any other ideas?

    Reply
    • Combo attacks should be kept to anime and fanfic because they sound like a terrible game mechanic tbh

      But for Lycannight, using the energy gained from Counter in order to throw the enemy in the air and impale with a Stone Edge

      Or a more nimble Pokémon using Rock Climb on its own Stealth Rocks in order to have amazing maneuverability

      Reply
      • Ooooooo i like the sound of that
        Lycanroc builds up energy and creates towering stone spires from Stone Edge and uses Rock Climb to scale them in a nimble fashion

        Reply
        • Would probably work with Midday best, seeing as it’s the fastest form of the OG two (and we don’t know if Dusk is any faster or slower)

          Also, way less flashy combo but a Pokémon trapping the opponent with a move like Bind or Whirlpool before setting of a high risk/reward move like Hyper Beam or Explosion

          Golisopod using a priority move like Aqua Jet to crash into the opponent, using Metal Claw to dig into it, and then unleashing a hellish Hyper Beam up close and personal with its prey unable to do jack

          Reply
          • Ohohoho i’ve thought about anime styled Golisopod fighting
            it emerges from my pokeball kneeling quietly and reserved but when the battle begins it vaults forward at blinding speed with a swipe of its claws and slashing the opponent with First Impression, as it fights it lets out hissing screeches as it swings its main claws and its four secondary ones

            its dense shell negating any damage whatsoever and blasiting forward with Aqua Jet and finally when it gets you close enough its main claws grab the opponent while the other four dig into the flesh while glowing a eerie red and green color of leech life

          • My favorite Pokémon to think of in anime style battling is anything that’s fast and gets Shadow Sneak, because melting into the shadows to hit and run over and over until your foe gives up sounds gr8

            Another combo would be Dig + Overheat/Lava Plume/Magma Storm to heat the battlefield above (creating a ‘Fiery Terrain’ of sorts) :0

          • I don’t want to burst your bubble but in Shadow Sneak the user doesn’t melt into their shadows it extends it from their body and travels behind it and strikes

            Phantom Force is actually disappearing

          • I was thinking more about Ghost Pokémon that are pretty much shadows themselves and could possibly turn intangible, not stuff like Ariados that are pretty much confined to the way the moves described in the game

  81. So does each region speak a different language?

    Because that team rocket grunt speaks in broken English but it’s probably broken Kantonian

    But your player still understands them so Johto and Kanto probably share a language

    But like.. Cynthia visits Unova AND Johto so she probably speaks multiple languages

    I don’t know why I’m thinking about this so much
