A description of the upcoming Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon guidebook has revealed some details about the title. The following features will be returning from the original Pokémon Sun & Moon
- Festival Plaza
- Battle Royal
- Poké Pelago
- Poké Finder
- Battle Tree
It also mentions new information about attacks and abilities!
For fans of these in the first games it’s probably a relief! Did you enjoy these in Sun and Moon?
More real talk, I think Pokémon open world would be better as a spin off with all new Pokémon because then you don’t run the issue of having 800+ unique models you have to use or the disappointment of only having like a quarter of all Pokemon
So more like black and white?
Black and white but a harder reset
An open world pokemon rangers for 2018
I would really love that actually, I miss Ranger games
I think a similarly advanced USUM graphics game with a brand new Region with only new Pokémon (until post game)
So BW with a little higher quality graphics than USUM
Pure Open World? These games are hard to make and they’re pretty grand in content, so it’d a possible case of a Spin-off being more advance than the main series
They’re probably really fucking easy to make if they make them in 1.5 years and continue to cut features
Yeah you would think they are easy, but you don’t really know
And remember GF has never done anything too open world like and aren’t very experienced. Of what I’ve seen Nintendo has ventured a bit with it and it took 4 years to create BotW. So how long do you think a company with very limited knowledge on the topic would take to make it?
GameFreak doesn’t deserve to work on the series anyways. They don’t care about pleasing fans or making games that are improving upon what the previous did.
I wish Nintendo would just buy them out and work on a game that moves the series forward.
I disagree on every level. It’s Gamefreak who started this pokemon thing and have done an excellent job at keeping it successful and enjoyable and progressively making the games better
You CAN’T just say oh I wish Nintendo buys them out and they don’t care about pleasing fans, forgetting all the good things they’ve done.
They made the series but if they dont plan on doing anything to revamp it like other franchises have done then why should they be in charge? They care more about mobile games anyways
Haha noo you literally have no idea how long it takes to make even a standard pokemon game never mind revamping the format to open world.
I mean sure they can take 1.5 years and make a rushed game and then people will be complaining oh they rushed it and theres no post game and the characters are useless and the cut scenes lmao
Actually I do know they took 1.5 years because of data mining
They already made 800+ pokemon models
Why are people forgetting this
Cause they may not use them (or they might have higher quality graphics in Switch that these old models may not work on the new system)
No. These models are so overdone that the 3DS can’t even handle more than two on screen without slowdowns. They are so over detailed
Because those 800+ are in a turn based RPG that constantly splits up its areas, and aren’t loaded in until you get into battle – there’s never more than six (triple battles) out a time, whereas at one time an open world would have like at least 15+ on average performing unique actions
But open world in a more advanced console like the switch so not only they would be more advanced but would also each one must have a lot of unique animations for them to work in open agmes
They don’t have to animate EVERY SINGLE ONE.
They already have walking and running and idle animations for all of them.
But it wouldn’t make sense to animate 150 when you have another 700 or so. Just forget about the rest?
Don’t get me wrong tho I’d love an open world game
If it meant having a better game overall, then yes. They can add them back in as other games come out
They’ll probably never see the light of day unfortunately
If they can make those animations and still cut them then they can create enough animations for 150 in an open world game
So my school made it mandatory to play a sport in gym now
I hate my life
It’s only as fun as you make it
Uh what’s so bad about sports?
Well for me it’s being unatheletic and uninterested in sports and being out in a situation where my lack of skill at a sport ruins the game for my entire team
Yeah, but half of my class is like that as well so it makes up for it.
I’m actually fat as hell and people in my school are dicks
Lol, my high school let us IB kids not have to take a gym class 🙂
I haven’t taken one since 8th grade, but I’ve gone to my Uni one a couple times to play some ping-pong
*screeching*
Also what’s your choices?
Flag football and soccer
I’m fat soooooo yeaaaah
I know, it sucks, I just played soccer
Kill me dude
Only these two? No tennis, baseball, Ping Pong, Badminton or any of those good sports? Just these lame two? Damn I feel bad for you now 🙁
It was outside sports, we usually have units dedicated to those sports throughout the year
Pretty sure tennis and Baseball are outside sports..
Well, we play those inside.
We never played a baseball
That too
You should
Not interested in baseball personally
I’d get hit in the balls with a base ball
I actually have, just not with a baseball
Oh Tennis is an option, it’s just that it gets filled up instantly leaving mainly those two left
No wonder it gets filled immediately considering the other two options :p
Exactly… I literally stood still the entire game
I always get stuck playing against some asshole who doesn’t know what sportsmanship is
That’s our whole school
I hate the Battle Tree
So like, everyone always mentions the suckage that is mandatory school life but like what about extracurricular activities? I’m a prefect on my school and de facto head of the prom Committee, both are pretty swell so far but I haven’t done too much in either
Coding Club starts Thursday in my school, I might join. There’s also Art Club, but I’m awful at drawing
Well you’re like super cool so…
I’m in honor society, Key Club, and Debate club
I’m about as cool as a Satan’s bumhole but thanks
Mate how are you not cool
I suck at most forms of physical activities, I have a bad habit of bottling and then kinda exploding, I have self confidence issues but I get annoyed at myself for having them, and I’m not attractive but like not interestingly ugly? Just kinda eh
Altho I’m good at holding conversations so that’s a bonus I guess
Picture all of what you said on someone who looks disgusting and literally stutters attempting to speak a three word sentence
So just me again?
You don’t look bad
And you can hold conversations
I can’t do that at all
Don’t be so self deprecating, you probably excel at a lot of things but don’t know it yet, like your creativity for example
Meh, I don’t think too highly of myself either, but only because I’m really flawed (Like, more flawed than I should be)
Me
That doesn’t get me anywhere when my brain screws up too much to do anything with it
If you keep saying this kind of stuff all the time, they might become reality tho
It already is
There’s no need to talk about me like that.
So does that make you hot
To be fair he’s definetly attractive
I see ?
Indeed

Where do you find these weird gifs
I assume it’s from RuPaul’s Drag Race
You assumed right
Do I get a prize?
10dollar
I mean it’s true
I don’t think we even have those over here…
I’m in Art Club and it’s also like… the only time I’m at school where I’m legit happy and having fun with the people around me
We have an art club but I can’t join since I can’t draw and am too busy
I kinda just stay quiet in a corner in my clubs
I’m only joining because 2 of my friends are
Which
Sam and Elena
Well sam was a given
No kidding
In my Junior year, a couple friends and I were members of the math honor society. The leadership team then sucked, so we “usurped” them and took their positions.
The next year was spent regretting our decision because it was the teacher/sponsor who was the problem, not the students. Everyone pretty much jumped ship except for myself and another friend, who could tolerate the teacher and actually try to get stuff done. Wild times in math club :^)
I’m a nerd and do math in my free time, as well as continue working on the game I’m making 🙂
Ngl I’m doing maths again this year and whilst it’s not my cup of tea I have a new found respect of it, it’s definetley more interesting than I used to give it credit for
CAST can go burn in hell tho
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
Thoughts?
Yeah I would kike that a lot. Less linear please
:3
Mega flygon didn’t happen because they couldn’t think of a design
Game Freak is a second party developer for Nintendo
It’s more funny than infuriating in my eyes
Its design is too perfect tho
I still believe megas are just being shelved right now and we will get new ones, including Mega Flygon, eventually.
They’re also human so subjectivity and artists block can exist
boi
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
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
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?
Good point
But no like. Doing a bunch of designs is standard. It’s what leads to the best designs.
Of course
That’s probably what happened to Araquanid
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 difference being they had to make mascots for the game whereas Mega Flygon wasn’t really necessary and could be replaced by another Mon
They couldve at least given it to us later. But here we are two games later and no more megas.
Well I mean it’s almost like one of those games didn’t have Megas at all but eh
Yeah but it’s a feature they shouldve kept around, in my honest opinion. There are still a bunch of worthy candidates
They decided to focus on a feature that was fairer to more Pokémon and they actually utilised it in game for NPCs so even if I prefer Megas I still gotta commend them for that tbh
Eh I mean it was an effort. I really dont like z moves. They feel more like a time saver so that they didnt have to spend time by making specialized megas

Star’s depiction of GameFreak (I’m sorry, I just had to get that out)
I’m dying…
My neck is stiff as a rock, my head is pounding, the sun is burning me to a crisp and my mouth is hurting from post wisdom teeth removal
Isn’t the first thing a good thing for you? Stiff as a ROCK?
Not in this context
I have neck problems too and I found it largely seems to be how I sleep. If I keep my head straight forward it’s better in the morning but if it’s tilted down it’s going to hurt later
I swear to god what’s neckst will I have neck problems?
Oh wait…
I read a sentence in college English that talked about a dog barking and I accidentally said that it borked.
lol
It was wonderful
So my grade was the first senior class to ever lose spirit week
Good job gais
Wait, for real?
We lost to the Juniors
This entire time I was in school the seniors won
Oh, I thought you meant a different lost
Spirit week? What even is that? God american schools are so weird
Oh it’s a week to show school spirit by doing certain stuff
Yeah, you know, relevant stuff for learning
Well, learning is boring. We got to wear our pajamas to school one day (which I forgot it was that day)
Uh, one of the high schools that I went had something similar to that, but luckily it was only for people from certain grade so I didn’t have to wear stupid clothes
Totally,my school values their sports team that rarely wins a game over their students who actually have a few smart cookies among the crapfest that is most the grade
Well I mean school should promote pride in yourself and others and encouraging socialising considering its where you spend a huge amount of time as a kid
It’s funny because the students are too busy drugging themselves to death to care
I guess you’re right but a lot of high schools all around the world doesn’t have that kind of stuff and the kids turn out being fine
Or do they ? ? ? ?
Nah I think it’s just a cultural thing, my school doesn’t have that sort of stuff but we have different times to socialise and we do a lot of group work in class
Tru, my old school had us do a LOT of group work and highschools do that often as well
They gave me childhood trauma unfortunately
Group work is terrible
I always got stuck doing everything and my grade would suffer because I couldn’t get it all done
What happened to me before was pretty different, they tricked me into doing nothing and when the work is finished they call me out.
Huh….
Idk my school here never had that

Oh no
Oh yes, specially that blue one
It’s based off Minato Arisato/Makoto Yuuki (P3 Main Protagonist)
Looking good Jokbirb!
Yu just doesn’t look good. Akira and Minato are fine I suppose.
They all look weird to me
Sure but I mean Yu is just bad.

Thanks for your contribution
You are welcome
Beautiful commentary on the current state of affairs in our world
It describes the mind of the typical youth
I agree
As do I
If Pokémon crossed over with one other franchise, which would you choose?
FNAFFinal Fantasy please, just make it happen
Final Nights At Fantasy’s
Unless it’s like smash,none
Persona
I would agree though I can never see how it would actually work.
Kirby or Yokai Watch
Mario if it just were Mario characters as pokemon trainers (Probopass for Mario)
I kinda want to see them in Disney, Pixar or Laika animation.
But specific franchise, maybe Power Rangers or Animorphs.

If we wanna get real crazy, how about Pokemon X Digimon? It’ll probably never happen, but it sounds like a cool crossover
A message to my school
Please stop sucking the dick of your subpar sports teams full of idiotic assholes and use the money to buy a fucking air conditioner. I almost passed out earlier today from the heat
What’d happen if the team’s captain found out this message ?
But seriously instead of sports, each school should compete with each other by showing how good they actually are
Or buy air conditioners so the kids don’t die
It’s Autumn so it’s gonna get colder eventually so
Well I mean tbf those sports teams probably really try to win and they should be rewarded for repping the school
It’s just that America isn’t good at balancing it with actual education
They don’t, they take drugs and act like idiots 24/7
But everyone else suffers for no reason
In that case your school sucks
Probs only a little less than mine tho
I can relate this link is actually 90% right about my school
https://www.google.com/amp/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3fterm=north%2520penn%2520highschool&=true
(Then again this is my school)
I don’t think it’s a good idea telling people where your school is
I have a better idea then (I’ll delete the link and the name, but post the comment in a spoiler tag)
Why do they even have sport teams in the first place? Sports aren’t really that important
In that case neither are arts
It’s just another form of expression and hosting it at a school makes it more accessible and convenient for kids. Sports brings people together and gives you exercise.
I never said sports weren’t important, I was just insinuating that they’re being given too much attention
“Sports aren’t really that important”
“THAT”
They’re still important to some people fam
I don’t think I’ve explained myself correctly but what I was trying to say is that I think that by doing this School Sports Team thing in USA they’re overrating the value of sports.
But I guess that’s just me
Seriously the place it over education
Still better than my school
My school doesn’t spend any sort of money on students nor it does it make an effort to help it’s students grow At all
You too are feeling Ra’s rage today?
I had to walk to my barber because my car is in the shop and I had no shade whatsoever
Ra? Do you mean Mega Ultra Chicken?
It could’ve been Slifer the executive producer
My life
Apollo is the cooler sun God smh
Helios.
Helios is a titan ?
TITANS a are just basically cooler gods tho
Lies ?
Nah Titans are boring, they only destroy walls
Apollo kinda took over the role of the Sun from Helios is What I meant

I love hearing a frigging robot say the phrase “pussy tiger”
Paul Revere is right here being revered by the deers
At the same time he’s got sheep to shear cause he’s Paul Revere
When he drives he always steers cause his deer friends are always near
In the war he fought with a spear cause he’s Paul Revere
When people drive all the deers always tend to fear a car ramming them in the rear
Until Paul Revere came and the deer began to cheer
Cause he brought all of the beers which he held with his ear
He broke his record from last year
When he rode on his horse he said
“I know the British are coming cause I’m Paul Revere. You all should get out of here like it was yesteryear”
And so they ran, to the deers of Paul Revere
Oh god
This is great you know

Do you guys prefer seeing legendary Pokémon as deities or diety-like or just strong creatures?
Depends
On what? :0
Design
Deities, it makes them more interesting and mysterious to me
Deities
Diety-like
I see them as creatures that are deities
My favorite UB https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b3566fb491317d2aecb5ef70e1c6cb15d30fb9e77b856a3db8bb8de026f75813.jpg
Anyone here see my Late Night Rant a couple weeks ago about Not being able to order the Steelbook of USUM because it was sold out on US Amazon? That was wild.
I’m in a good school with friendly teachers that actually want us to learn something. After reading your posts I’m assuming I should feel lucky.
Nah, I like my school. It’s in a sh!t area but the kids who haven’t dropped out are good and my teachers are all human beings with their own flaws and strengths that want us to succeed but don’t hand hold us the whole year
Eh, schools like that are the norm in Europe
Can back this up
I don’t hate the system. I just don’t like some of the kids
Shiitake mushrooms
So that gets past the filter but explicit censoring sometimes doesn’t
Hmm
Mate it’s so easy
I _fuck_shit_ in the ass
Yeah, I know it’s kinda bad.
And someone really should speak with PJ or Moving about that if they can fix it
I wanna start a discussion
Slavic Mythology has the coolest god of Thunder

Where is his marvel movie?
Dats what I thot binch
Funny! Your little goldilocks isn’t even the most important god from his Mythology!
He’s the hottest one tho
But Loki exists and he’s more relevant in media

But with the worse name
“Perun”
It sounds Epic in Polish, the word for Thunder is his name softened!
Does it sound Peh-roon? Because that’s how I read it…
…yes
God damn it Pokemon Silver you just had to make Phanpy so hard to get
I need to make a choice Donphan or Piloswine
I have a humongous connection towards Donphan that dates back to my early childhood while Piloswine has access to Icy Wind which is powerful against Clair and Lance
Piloswine is the superior earthen pachyderm
Even though it’s half pig
Being half pig makes it better fam
Well it’s all pig
It may have mammoth like qualities on its ego it’s still a swine/boar all the way
Mamoswine
Yeah but do you see a trunk?
Hence ‘half pig’
What else do you have?
Feraligatr
Golbat (which is taking its sweet time evolving)
Heracross
Sudowoodo
You can teach Feraligatr Ice Punch by TM if you really want to use Donphan.
It always knows Ice Punch
Depends what moves you can give each. Ice could end up being a problem defensively, iirc the dragons sometimes carry Flamethrower. Both are good, Donphan has higher or equal base stats in all but HP.
Take it to get haircuts brah
It should be their soon unless it lost alot of matches. Than it has long way to go
I’d say Donphan
I might ban you if you don’t choose Piloswine 😉
I’d choose Piloswine but it doesn’t have its super mega evolution from Gen 4
So go with Donphan
Piloswine!
Donphan personally
