Here are where you can catch the three Johto legendary’s from today until the end of October 31st, 2017 as officially announced by Pokémon GO’s official twitter account:
- Americas – Entei
- Europe – Suicune
- Asia & Asia Pacific – Raikou
Did the Legendary Beast you wanted end up in your neck of the woods, or will you have to wait one more month?

YAAAAS TYRANITARTUBE IS DOING ANOTHER ONE
Star: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-09-28-golf-story-review
I’ll read it in a bit!
So in the team selection for Alpha Sapphire, I’ve added a Numel to the group. I DexNav chained for a high level one with its HA (so I wouldn’t have to level grind him up), and I found one that nearly destroyed several party members. Impressed with his battle prowess, I caught him and named him Sir Humfrey. (I initially wanted a female to name Fergie)
Now I have:
– Iggy the female Sceptile
– Hot Dog the male Dustox
– Dagger the female Seviper (Attack is off the charts! another DexNav find)
– Sir Humfrey the male Numel
Saving the last spots for a Tropius, and probably Latias. Crawdaunt would probably be a better idea, or Whiscash. We’ll see.
What’s everyone’s ‘cut off point’ for a belief in new Alola forms? I’m already doubting them, but if we’re past the seventeenth with no sign of them I’m gonna be flat out convinced they’re not coming
I have doubts, but I think it still is in the cards atm
I’ll give it until the middle of the month when CoroCoro comes out and we get at least one more trailer. After that I guess it wasn’t meant to be……..
When the game comes out and it doesn’t have new Alolan forms.
But seriously, they didn’t show anything in Milan games, already show UBs but still no Alolan forms and we’re only 2 months from the game, unless they’re some sort of last minute surprise I doubt we’ll have new alo forms
I think that I am giving myself the same deadline as you are. The LINE stickers are giving me hope that there will be a reveal within the next two weeks so we will have to wait and see.
When the games inevitably leak 2 weeks early and the people playing it tells everyone there are no new Alolan forms
Hey guys I have a quick question on Birthday Presents. My brother is turning 18 on the 10th and my plan is to get a few things for him
-Pre-order on Ultra Moon version
-One other game I find at Gamestop
-The codes to get Marshadow, the competitive Salazzal and Target exclusive Charizard
-and possibly a Gift card to pay for the rest of UM
Think it will be too much or no?
And if an event has a serial code does that mean it gives a code card like for what Volcanion or Salazzal was? (If it is then I will get the Charizard)
Oh, what do you know? My birthday’s on the 10th too
Oh that’s cool how old will you be?
15
Well that’s a good birthday to celebrate I always wondered why each multiple of 5 isn’t heavily celebrated because your survived either half or a full next decade
Seems pretty generous and kind of you. Serial codes are either printed or cards are given.
Alright then I definitely can get him one
Me before using Beware: Wtf is this fisher price reject baby’s first Pokémon looking shitsack?
After using it: HOLY SHITe THIS THING IS GREAT!!!!
It is good, can tank alot and deal it back. I love my shiny one. Still hate the mouth though, and lack of defined head/body separation.

ALWAYS THE STUPID TEAMMATES I GOT BOOTED TO FREAKING S –
https://youtu.be/1SiylvmFI_8
i WAS ONE MATCH AWAY FROM S + AND THEY JUST HAD TO LEAVE THE WHOLE BLOODY ZONE UNGUARDED
F_CK POKEMON NINTENDO CONSOLES
I played so much through Y and accidentally pressed the home button now I have to do all BS all over again.
Im really mad atm
The home button? Can’t you just… resume the game?
23 minutes into TamashiiHiroka’s review of DP and I’m almost in tears…..NEVER have I heard anyone more perfectly explain all my problems of DP before!!!!! I’ll hear her second part out about the “good” things about DP, but so far this video has felt very validating. DP have such crappy pacing and the story is incredibly dubious at best………,Only main series Pokemon games that I have this much of a problem with……Oh well time to take a shower and then finish watching haha
Just DP? Does it also include Platinum?
Never played Platinum. DP ruined the entire experience for me. I can’t even get to the first badge in Platinum because I’m so bored and tired of the region. Which is a shame as I really like all the new Pokemon and the general idea of an evil team wanting to create a new dimension sounds cool. I really REALLY hope that when they remake DP it gives it a new lease on life for me.
Yeah imo gen 4 as in the Sinnoh games suffered alot despite having arguably the best evil team evil leader champion and many memorable mons/places etc
I felt like region was underwhelming not as good as hoenn alola kalos etc
The mons were ok but not my fav set
And the graphics esp in DP were not great.
However im sure a remake will fix most of that.
Imagine a switch sinnoh it would be beautiful. The games need more colour. I still think Platinum is one of the strongest games just need a remake asap lol ill stop now
Just imo but Gen I to V was a straight progression of plot quality (but IV to V was exponential), I still think DP has a better plot than Kanto, Johto, their remakes, and our first time through Hoenn
But gen 4 had story problems that weren’t in Gen 3 tho, not even in RS
Kuppo what are ur gen 4 complaints out of curiosity??
Just the same as many other people really, especially pacing and story, but Platinum fixed the first and somewhat the second so I’m not to critical about Gen 4
OG Maxie and Archie are the biggest idiots in the franchise
Literally retarded.
‘What colour of orb do we use to raise a large blue legendary Pokémon associated with the sea which we’ re raising for some reason even though the world’s actually already mostly sea’
‘idk red man’
EXACTLY
A look into OG Archie’s brain
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/669c5c6715bd662d19c35e554e238c4c87802653ceb66511e5245ec5614d4f77.png
Lollll spill that tea, baby
Uhh that’s very harsh. One could be critical of any team like that if we’re playing that game.
They weren’t as developed as say Plasma but they were still very good and unique in their own way.
It’s literally how they are though? It’s still inferior to Cyrus who knew what he was doing and wasn’t a total idiot
Cyrus was the real deal I’ll give you that.
ORAS added much more personality to the evil teams/plot and the major characters eg admins and leaders.
All getting plenty of screen time and development.
I think it comes down to tastes and preferences really. They were far from bad leaders.
Noo way. How do you come to that conclusion?
So? They’re still better developed characters than Cyrus ever wishes to be
Cyrus was pretty cool tbh as were Galactic but Hoenn was unique in having two evil teams. Maxie and Archie are great imo
What? In what world?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2ed59dfc7cfe44a626280622c7d134c9015a7d37cc923e30cff4b5841b767a58.gif
They had development?
Literally they were like “oh shit…why I do dis??? How I no see dis comin???? What is science???!?”
Even if its a little, is still decent and even good. In DP we barely get to know Cyrus, he was vague as fcuk and nobody even talked about him. They might have fixed him but still, he was a very boring character with a kickass battle theme.
And in RS we got to know Axie and Marchie better and their dumb motives.
And what’s up with the gif? Just because I’m disagreeing with you doesn’t mean I’m salting
Both DP and RS suck. And that’s true tea! Emerald and Platinum are superior.
I wouldn’t say that RS sucks but yeah, every third version is always better.
Wish gen 6 had one :[
Keep your head up!
ORAS did great in improving the story and bringing more personality ti the characters.
Maxie and Archie were great.
I legit don’t really care about which version is better tbh. Both games had something to offer and both games lacked at something. It’s pointless to “fight” about this lmao.
Honestly, I don’t dislike XY as much as I used to. They were cute games, but yeah, they could’ve been better for sure.
I’d say we get to know cryus pretty well. He basically is emotionally unstable from being abused as a child. He hates seeing fighting in the world and blames it on emotion. So he wants to use the legendaries to create a world where people are free of that. His emotions get in the way of course, particularly anger because the playable character is trying to stop him. Why did maxie and archie even want a full water/land world? There’s no reasonable explanation for their goals.
Lol yes there is. I’m too busy to write them up but they have purpose behind their goals.
Have you already forgotten the games??
It must not be good a enough reason for me to remember. It really boils down to them being mentally challenged for thinking their goals were good ideas
Cyrus was mentally challenged but that doesn’t change the fact he was a very good character!
I mean I like team aqua and magma a lot just not in the same way I do galactic or plasma who I think are more serious and sound as opposed to the silly of aqua and magma
Keep in mind we’re talking about RS, not ORAS
Remake Archie and Maxie actually receive development and aren’t as dumb (Archie wants to revert the world to a past state rather than flooding a world that’s already mostly water for example), whereas the originals really just boil down to ‘I think more water/I think more land’
Ohhh I see that makes more sense now. I never played RS only emerald a million times.
I still like the land water business it fits the region perfectly and is nothing like what other teams are driven by
I think it fits them better, it’s just that the originals didn’t convey it well. ORAS isn’t one of my favorite games but I actually really like the personality the evil teams have in it
Yeah I thought they did well in ORAS in polishing the characters and story.
Yeah you know him from the few dialogue that is spoken about him, but there could’ve been better, I mean, everything Team Aqua and Magma did made sense, but team Galactic actions made no sense at all, like why would they need energy or stolen Pkms to accomplish their goals?
They used the energy from the windworks for the red chain or something along those lines. I cant remember why they took over the building in eterna. Team aqua and magma wanted mass genocide for people and pokemon
The reason they had a base their is cause they used the Sinnoh region kinda like a turf war. If no one was willing to take them on then they would take over and no one could stop them. And they wanted cities with value to the myths
Hence why Pastoria City is void of them because Wake took’em out and they needed no reason to have a city that was deemed worthless to them
Lol I sent this ages ago but didn’t realise the swear got it hidden
Stealing Pokémon = more arms for your grunts and less for your enemies, making it less probable you’d be stopped
Stealing energy = they have machines and sh!t that needs powered, for example the machine for the red chain
Its less directly to their goal and more generally helping them, but both of those things make sense for an evil organisation
Ah, how do you know those were their actual goals for their actions and not something the devs put in because they couldn’t on what actions the grunts would do to accomplish their goals and instead, decided to focus more on other things.
Even if those were the reasons, they are so insignificant that it wouldn’t make sense to focus that much on them, and instead, made them do problems that really affected their plans (like gen 3 evil teams did for example). The only example that I can think of is bombing the lakes.
Because it was only Cyrus who knew the real goal (the rest didn’t ‘a new world’ was that literal) and his grunts were pretty much there just to be interference and brute force? Like literally the game made that obvious lol and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was said out
Why assume ‘wah lazy devs’ when you can use common sense? They need energy for machines and Pokémon for grunts.
The game never conveys this though. It leaves the player wondering get what stealing honey from some guy has to do with creating a new world.
And even though you would think getting energy would be important for them the only thing they really need is the red chain to summon the legendary which is taken from the lake trio. And they don’t act like doing that is some huge energy consumer
We do learn about Cyrus though? We meet his grandfather and how he regrets Cyrus’ upbringing, constantly feeling rejected by his parents as he never felt he met his expectations, despite being highly intelligent.
How do OG Archie and Maxie develop, like, at all? Were pretty much into goals as soon as we meet them and that’s really it. They grow more and more frustrated but every evil team leader does.
Just by learning their mistakes is enough for them to be developed, but yeah, the grandfather iirc only appears in Post game and by then, we don’t care about him anymore, they should’ve let that information early on or be presented in a better way.
And by I mean by understanding Cyrus is in the main story, where he isn’t even a good villain that feels disconnected from his team in a narrative perspective
‘Learned from their mistakes’
They literally just realise their dumb ideas were dumb. That’s not good development at all imo.
Cyrus is meant to be disconnected from his grunts. That’s the point. He’s using them, most of them don’t even know his real goals.
With disconnected I mean that his whole team don’t talk about him much at all, and he doesn’t feel relevant until the very end.
Because he’s kinda like a Kirby Villain (exclude games where DDD or Magalor are the final boss) where the boss is hidden in the shadows and is unheard of till they realize its time to you to be finished by their own hand
But most Kirby games give us another villain to chase after until the end where is revealed that the villain wasn’t the main villain.
It’s completely different from Pokemon and not what I was trying to say about Cyrus
His grandfather is hid away in a house you can very well easily miss. Most of his development comes in Platinum
Everything has better plot than the original games lol It’s a matter of how that plot flows. To me at least (and apparently others) DP have such a slow grind of a story. It could be GREAT, but it basically self destructs as the pacing is so uneven and most of the begin is so pointless…..
The story is slower but it’s still one of the better ones in the franchise tbh (mostly because RGBYGSCRSXY all had pretty bad stories imo)
Platinum still has one of the best stories out of pokemon
It does have a very good story but I think some polishing in a remake with a little twist they will be even better!
Hopefully they remake platinums story when they do remakes or I will rage
Me too haha im sure they will I mean how can they neglect the Distortion world??
I think people really forget how painful those games were. Platinum and HGSS are just so good it still keeps gen 4 as my favorite
Ok lets take the debate even further.
Which evil team do you think is/was the best in every sense and why?
Plasma because they had the most well developed, yet realistic plan and also BW2 brings up the ideas of grunts trying to repent or having to stick with her team because they have nowhere else to go (we actually see an aftermath for the grunts)
Shame it was all a front for Ghetsis’ generic rule the world bs
I like how they make you question the whole Trainer+Pokemon relationship.
I can’t disagree with you. Plasma were great. I think Galactic are a close second and AF are not too far off from TG.
My favourite team would probably be Plasma and the Hoenn teams
Plasma, they had the more sensible plan, they actually tried to convince people that they were right and brought out the whole “the world isn’t black or white but a shade of gray thingy”. Yeah, Ghetsis plan ended up being very typical for a JRPG but atleast it was well elaborated
And also because N.
I want to say Galactic if we’re talking typical of a Pokémon World because they had a goal and they executed very well and it seems if the protagonist wasn’t there, they would have succeeded and brought a new Beginning from the shadows
Good point!
They were evil as f_ck tbh
Solid team.
Tbf…
All your points can be applied to every other evil team 😛
Honestly I know it’s a cliche, but I’d say I like Team Rocket the most. (original TR) I liked that their main goal wasn’t really world domination by way of some crazy destroy everything plan than involved a legendary Pokemon. they were the most realistic I think out of all of them. while their plan failed miserably at least it was about something other than “I’m gonna take over the world with this super powerful thing that can destroy planets!!!” They only focused on being a crime syndicate and were much more interesting in that regard. It was much cooler to see a leader that was smart and cunning than one that relied on the power of a mythical being.
You are very Right in this regard. I always think Rocket is better than most teams for these reasond
Ahh very well said. As in they are simple and straightforward in their approach. I still wish we see more them abd Giovanni in future games. Maybe gen 8!
Maybe if they really do make a new Kanto based game (remake or sequel) Giovanni will return in some capacity. If it’s a sequel then it will likely no be as the main villain tho
Reminds me of this old Tumblr post:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9f21f649cf1d6ecfc663aef5aafbe2f1417fe46e874ea69a51104eaef3da03b6.png
Exactly! It’s really the most reasonable team out there. Even if their story wasn’t told completely well haha
I don’t think reasonable would be the word you wanna use

Haha nice I like it :]
Very hard to choose between plasma and galactic. I love their themes, their goals, pretty much everything. I might give galactic a slight edge though because their story leads us on a more fantastical journey
True they were both very good. Where do you rank AF?
Probably near the bottom. Above flare and rocket. Below skull, magma and aqua, plasma, and galactic
Team Skull
Just a group of edge lords stealing street signs, bothering the locals, loitering, and over running an entire town.
Buuuuuut I like Aether Foundation more. I just wish they had more of a presence
I don’t even know… I can’t remember well.
Team Skull was my favorite because they were the most like a normal gang of punks. Angry delinquents tricked and bullied into something they had no comprehension of.
Team Rocket (original) was the easiest to understand. No lofty ambitions either. Take all the good stuff, take out anyone in the way. They wanted to be rich and in charge.
Team Plasma made me feel kind of bad about playing pokemon, but the ethical question sort of fell away at the end to “grab the legendary dragons! yes!” and there was no way you could just retire from battling and hang out with your pokemon Nintendogs-style for the rest of the game.
AZ was arguably worse than Team Flare. He was the one who built the doomsday device using a bunch of dead pokemon to bring one Floette back to life then he was going to destroy most of the world because of all the killing? Team Flare at least had a goal other than “they killed my best friend and now I’m mad”.
Favorite:
Canine Pokémon?
Feline Pokémon?

Object: If Muk (based on sludge) doesn’t count then I go Garbodor
Huh… Garboder is a really odd choice. I feel like Trubbish is way cuter
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Here’s a tricky question of the ages…
Let’s assume in Kanto, you could time travel and space to the next gen after you become champion in each generation. (Excluding remakes and 3rd versions/Sequels)
Your first starter is the only starter you get, but you can catch any pokemon from the respective time and place along the way.
By the time you become Alola’s Champion (assuming your guys are all now maxed at level 100 due to all the fighting), which 6 pokemon will your champion highlight reel feature?
Shiny Mega Venusaur
Scizor
Infernape
Shiny Hydreigon
Shiny Greninja
Shiny Midday Lycanroc
Easy (sounds alot like how I would love to have a huge game of all regions)
-Mega Charizard X
-Noctowl
-Politoed
-Muk
-Weavile
-Lycanroc Midnight
A local Best Buy has the SNES Classic “on display” according to the website…do you think it’s still in stock? I’ll try giving them a call when they open.
Worth trying at least. Not gonna really hurt that much if they don’t have it
So who is the best champion “Objectively” speaking?
Feel free to disagree with each other 😛
I’ll start by saying Alder!
Cynthia 🙂
Why?? :O
She exists.
I feel like you guys are missing the point of the word “objectively”
I edited my post as I thought objective would make it more challenging!
Ok I guess that works 😛
Cynthia is the only right answer
No surprises there :]
Cynthia.
Alder and Wallace in terms of character
Cynthia and Steven in terms of awesomeness
The only champ I never liked as much was probably Diantha. Maybe that will change by the time I’m done with Y!
It won’t
If you’re looking for her character you won’t find it :3
Diantha gets F’s in a categories really for me
Except she used Gardevoir which really suited her, but the rest was pretty crummy
She should have used
-Gardevoir
-Depending on game Slurpuff or Aromtisse
-Aurorus (it suited her grace and elegance)
-Goodra (did she have one?)
-Trevenant
-Talonflame
I adore her design. It certainly stands out but her lack of character and general agency in the plot leaves her being forgettable
Drasna had Goodra, probably why Diantha didn’t.
I’d have to say I love Cynthia, but the most Interesting is Blue in the original BRY
He had such an awesome battle theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T0pG8PKhBU
I often forget Blue counts as a champion
Probably because he was only champion for 5 minutes. Not much of a great champion is he? T u T
Me
Oh you. Aren’t you the first champion of Alola or something? 😛
The first, and the best. I’m also champion in every region so far so I’m clearly ahead of all the others.
Cynthia because her team is the most balanced and she’s appeared way more than any of the others, always seeking to challenge us with her garchomp
Alder is close second though
Cutest Pokemon of each type:
Bug – Venonat
Dark – Zorua
Dragon – Noibat
Electric – Joltik
Fairy – Whimsicott
Fighting – Pancham
Fire – Victini
Flying – Rowlet
Ghost – Marshadow
Grass – Bulbasaur
Ground – Swinub
Ice – Alolan Vulpix
Normal – Teddiursa
Poison – Nidoran M
Psychic – Mew
Rock – Rockruff
Steel – Togedemaru
Water – Mudkip
Ok ignore my last post.
Who is the STRONGEST champion in your opinion?
This should be interesting..
edit: as in if they fought each other!
Cynthia
…. Cynthia. 🙂 FBHDJKSL
Ok im gonna spice things up.
I think Wallace will have her in a one on one 😛
Cynthia
Cynthia
But Iris has a pretty strong team as well… unless you bring an ice type
None, I’ve never actually struggled against a champion
What I mean is if they fought each other!
If so then just say yourself, remember how we actually become the champion in SM? 😛
Oh well yeah obviously Cynthia like that isn’t even a question. Red has the higher levels but Cynthia just has an objectively better team
I wouldn’t be surprised if Wallace or Lance gets the better of her! 😛
Also me, I’ve beaten all the others so it must be me.
Cop out
Out of the rest it’s obviously Cynthia.
ME!!!! I’m the strongest champion! Otherwise I would have been booted from the Alola Champion chair a while ago lol
http://i2.wp.com/www.momoneymoprogress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/6-1.gif
Cynthia. Although I dont like her that much, Iris is pretty strong.
Iris has that fantastic theme that a lot of people don’t seem to like? I don’t really know why
Iris and her theme are amazing tbh
Maybe people don’t like it because it’s too cutesy?
Even tho it isn’t…
It could also be that is iknda different from other Champion themes
I totally adore that aesthetic
sameeee 🙂
It’s just tooooo much. I cant
Really? I always thought people liked it.
She has like the best theme ever also I like the battle background too!
I don’t like Iris
Dragon Master that uses 3 dragons. Spams Haxorus Outrage. Lapras is cancer to me because of her. Too big and floofy of a dress
She ranks low as a champion for alot of the hell she put me through
I mean it’s better than Lance who uses three of the same dragons?
Lance never had many hassles with
Took me 8 soft resets to beat her and the only reason I won was because We were both in red and my Samurott out sped her just enough to launch one more Dragon Tail at Haxorus and destroy it
Sooooo you don’t like her because she actually challenged you?
She spammed her moves too as Lapras Perish Song till last turn of life and she would switch, Spammed Haxorus Outrage and her Archeops I think only hurt me once by fainting some with Rock slide or ancient Power
Aggron was way to easy tho she used automatize and I just Surf it dead
I actually liked her alot.
Her theme, background design and how she came from a student to a champion in 2 years!
Everyone seems to have forgotten Lance and his Dragons!!
Did you mean
Press Ice Beam
Tfw not Ice Beam and almost gets destroyed in my playthrough
Oh no no no it’s never that simple.
Firstly he has THREE Dragonites and Johtos level curve is difficult so OHKO them all is almost impossible and he usually OHKOs back.
Plus he has Gyara in the back.
Mehhh all you need is a lapras or cloyster. Iris at peast has a little more variety
Hmm its not always that simple as he has 3 of them and the level curve is quite rough in these games. They usually OHKO you before you can ubless ur over levelled which is difficult in the Johto games
It’s not hard to be overleved if you are only 6 years old and decide to only use a Typhlosion in battle for the entire main story.
But Johto games are a lot more challenging to level your mons up and its not unusual to go in against Lance under levelled compared to say Kalos or Unova
I’m just telling you what I did as a 6 year old. I took out the all of the gym leaders, E4 and Lance with only my Typhlosion. Obligatory comment about Typhlosion being the best Gen 2 starter.
This was 9 year old me with Heart Gold XD
*flashbacks to the Heart Gold Nuzlocke Lance Massacre of ’17*
Haha.
Brutal s h i t! ?
I lost my entire team except for Nidoqueen and Typhlosion. Typhlosion would’ve been dead if Nidoqueen hadn’t pulled out some black magic to kill a dragonite and an Arodacyle
hahaha.
Sounds like you just about made it!
Yeah but I mean the curve is the external force of the game working against you. So it’s not so much that he’s difficult but the curve is. His only real strategy is to spam his dragonites. At the proper level he wouldnt be on par with Cynthia or Iris
“Dragons” only half of his team are dragon types, and the ones who, are the same fcuking pokemon!
He’s more of a flying type champion than anything really
Feraligatr can’t learn Waterfall in GS
Tragic
It was dumb, you just have to make do with Surf or Hydro Pump. The Special/Physical split didn’t exist anyway.
It’s less I want the move and more there’s a large waterfall in my way :<
You’ll have to go back and get a Goldeen or something. That’s right, big Alligator with huge arms and legs can’t learn waterfall in gen 2 but tiny frilly fish can.
Or in Gen 3 6 Inch bird that can move things with mind and Giant Blue Vat can’t fly
Tiny stupid Bird (pidgey) that can barely support its own weight can
Waterfall is like… the best physical water move
And it’s an HM
amazing
And now it’s a TM 😀
So glad they kept it and Surf
Why no TM Strength tho?
Probably because most Pokémon learn a normal move not too weaker or stronger than Strength sooner or later: and if your friendship is high enough, Return literally outclasses it in every single way
Ahhh yeah it is indeed
Well unless I randomly decide not to I’ll be playing X version when I get back to America. I want to make an analysis as good as Tamashii Hiroka’s really
Just not sure if I want to put in the effort into making a video. It would be a lot more work but a lot more accessible. Idk. I’ll figure it out
Cant wait
You gonna Everstone a Braixen?
Either that or box my starter in favor for another fire type. I’m going to be using my favorite Kalos mons for the most part though
Pyroar or Talonflame? Kalos was the first region I didn’t use a Fire type, which kind of hurt.
They have a few good ones when you factor Zard and his 2 megas!
Yeah but all had secondary types that conflicted with others on my team.
I usually don’t mind over laps!
I have only ever used one Fire type in a main/first Playthrough. And it was Turtonator
Really? I usually make it a point to use one, though it is possibly my favourite type.
To me its so-so cause I like the type, but then again I’m more of a mild temp kinda guy
Each to their own, I think the type I’ve least used in a first play through might be Steel, but that’s probably due to the lack of them in earlier gens or that I wanted to use other ‘mon more.
I think my least used type is… Fire actually (unintentionally) I like fire, but some if them are too hot for me to Handel
Honestly if most of the regional birds weren’t part Normal then Normal would be my least used on a first playthrough.
I’m not too sure really. I’m kinda thinking about my team right now so I’ll figure it out
Let me know if you want help getting anything.
How to win XY: catch Honedge
My only advice is try not to be so harsh, like actually give the game a chance or two or try to understand the reasons as to why some things are the way they are.
But I’m sure you already know all of this 😛
Yeah I’m going in with a neutral mindset. I’m using Pokémon I really like rather than ones I’ve never used so I’m comfortable with my team and I’m going I try to take it at an average pace
Good luck I look forward to it.
Like Kuppo said try playing it open minded and maybe just maybe you’ll like some things a little more!
That’s what I did and uh it seems to be working so far 🙂
I’m still going in with a critical mindset but that isn’t a bad thing. If these games are actually amazing and it takes me playing through it 3 times to realize that then being critical makes me appreciate its victories even more
I guess ur right but for me just going into enjoy the games has made it really fun. And hopefully ill do the same with USUM otherwise ill be complaining all day!
If they ever bring back sneaking I hope it’s easier on my thumb orz
I think sneak is the reason my circle pad broke (the rubber has almost completely torn off)
I keep messing up my streak because my thumb jolts :/
That’s not good then 🙁
So I’m at some dumb faire and look what I snagged for 6 bucks https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/442c35316ccaa49e1bdc429af22457381d79aea96d3fb7fcc37e9591adb86279.jpg
He seems more cheerful then I’ve ever seen you on here 😛
Favorite Gym Leader theme? (including the Kahuna theme)
Sinnoh.
Alola
Kahuna theme, longer, more complex, uses hawaiian motifs, best leitmotif in the games, and how is serious in the beginning but eventually gets more joyful indicating that Poke battles is about having fun n’stuff
Sinnoh for gyms.
I also liked BW2 theme and Johto/Kalos were good too!
Alolas trial themes were best if you include them too
The sun and moon soundtrack honestly makes me really excited for what they will do next. Even just having region leitmotifs goes such a lining way to establishing a unique feeling of being in that region that no other region other than maybe Unova has really achieved.
*gasps in sinnoh piano*
If they give Sinnoh a musical upgrade I will die.
Playing platinum just makes me want to hear these songs with better instruments.
Let’s hope the more music remixes are more HGSS and less FRLG/ORAS
Star. You’re making me want a Sinnoh remake even more now!
They can just stop making Pokémon games after the Sinnoh Remakes because unless they totally f*ck them up like ORAS did they will just be the best games
Honestly it isn’t that hard
Don’t remove features like contests, underground, and BATTLE FRONTIER
Keep all those events in some way
Fix pacing and characters
Be brave enough to change the music to match the town’s atmosphere better like HGSS did
Further diversify the dex
And it will be fine
If your implying to change Route 201 theme
Then get out! And never come back
Don’t change it, improve it.
But why break perfection
A remix would crush the simplicity and harmony throughout that track. I say if it isn’t broken don’t touch it
Ok but I wasn’t even talking about Route 201
Pastoria came to mind. It’s nice but it could benefit from a more relaxed tone.
Celestic should also sound different from Eterna because they share a theme. Do something like what HGSS did with Cianwood and Ecruteak
Those work, but I only meant don’t touch that one, the rest could use a tune up

Nope not as good

??? Except it’s the same composition just without the shitty soundfont of the DS?
That’s where DPPT’s soundtrack suffers. The soundfont isn’t good enough to support the compositions other than when it’s a piano like in Cynthia’s theme
Actually playing them at the same time gives me a better feeling (like start them both at the same time and it sounds really good)
I guess you like the bad soundfont 😛
( c’mon dude, the violins, snare drum, cellos, guitar etc.. are awesome in the remix)
Kurusu seems to like a lot of things that are objectively worse than their counterparts :3
To each their own
March to the beat of your own stupid drum
I feel a little hurt at that stupid comment
Yeah because I was being a bitch
And I think it’s funny?
Because that’s the kind of bitch I am
Your not a b*tch
It just stung a little, like a tiny band-aid
Play these two tracks together and make that the new theme its much more lively and hits just the right amount of great
Fam it’s impossible to sync them up together, when they aren’t synced up they sound like a mess
Then how did I just listen to them both playing at the same time and it syncs very well as one goes up for the high sounds the anime goes for the low notes
I think they blend well (and DJ’s sync music all the time why can’t GF? Unless I’m misunderstanding here)
You got lucky
Very very lucky
Lucky with what? Syncing them I just have to press play at relatively the same time
Just by being 0.5 seconds off I can notice the difference and it bothers me. And not only that, but both are slightly different in the timing of their transitions, so they will desync anyways
A remix can still be simple and harmonical, just by fixing it’s soundfont quality would vastly improve “perfection”
What I also like is how varied the instrumentalization was (Pianos, trumpets, snare drums other tropical like drums, woodwinds etc.), not overly dependant in a certain brass instrument that doesn’t sound nearly as good as its irl counterpart.
And it seems like USUM will add electric guitars making it even more varied
Does anyone else hope they bring back Megas and use them as well as SuMo used Z-moves? Like you actually saw a decent amount of trainers use Z-moves, even some random trainers, but it still felt special? Megas just felt super underused imo
I don’t mind trainers using them but I’d prefer if we got them post game to keep the challenge in main game.
Yeah of course, in XY it felt weird that like only 4 people could use Megas including you, and I hope they add more megas as well, gen 5 needs more
Megas >>>>>>>>>>>> Z Moves
I literally only ever used Z moves because I wanted to end a battle quickly only to remember after I select it that the cutscene is longer than the battle up to that point.
Ffs make the Z move cutscenes skillable after the first time
I’d like to fight people/guardians to obtain them.
The thing I am most excited about in USUM is that I get to use Goodra finally.
My XY team is starting to look like I need a Noivern on my team
It was available in SuMo tho?
Goomy is by SOS. Unless you mean why didn’t she use it before, in which case I’d guess she wanted to use all new stuff.
I absolutely loved my Noivern, shame it comes in so late
Want an egg traded?
I feel like Noibat is too weak to sustain a non practical spot on a team. Why I just gave one rare candy to mine and he became a star afterwards
Noivern is still best Dragon/Flying type
I thought he was the best Flying/Dragon type?
I remember it being ok on my original X team. Maybe I’ll just get a good mature and good IVs to make up for it
Ooooh if you can get some good eggmoves on it I would really appreciate it! I’ll let you know when I need it
