Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

  • An English version of the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon story trailer has been posted on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, however it is purely a translated trailer and provides no new information about the games
  • In an interview with IGN, game producer Shigeru Omori confirmed that Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon will be the final main series Pokémon games on the Nintendo 3DS
  • Starting on USUM’s launch day, Pokémon Centers across Japan will be doing special once per day distributions of Rotom Power from the Roto Loto! The Rotom Powers you can receive include Roto Hatch, Roto Bargain, Roto Prize Money, Roto Experience Points, Roto Friendship, Roto Encounter, and Roto Stealth. No word on whether this daily distribution will make it to other regions by different means
  • In their latest interview, Eurogamer Portugal has revealed that the points you earn from Mantine Surf can then be used to get items and other rewards – most notably to allow Move Tutors to teach your Pokémon moves that they couldn’t learn in Pokémon Sun & Moon. However the interview wasn’t explicit with whether or not these “points” are Battle Points, or an entirely different currency unique to Mantine Surf

Swapdoodle

      • Well that’s a good question. I went ot hunt a day or two and got up to 259 without finding one. some how I ended up killing or running away from that chain tho due to me not paying attention. This time however it only took me 195 encounters. So in all it took me about 454 encounters, but in a single chain only the 195. Either way not bad haha

  5. Y’all gotta stop posting the merchandise pics because I’m poor and I feel bad I can’t get any of it, especially those Rockruff socks ;_;

  6. Are there any Pokémon you wish had more merchandise? The more I look at the stuff above the more I wish we got some more Pokémon like maybe something Toucannon striped or a Vikavolt shirt

  9. Off topic for those who’ve lost their immortal soul to Stardew valley;

    I am but a full day away from Winter and the day I will receive my iridium pickaxe, and I’ve spent my fall gathering mayonnaise and cheeses to save up 100k to build the final edition to my house aka the cellar where they say cheese and whine can be aged,

    But most importantly I’ve had my very first Sweet gem berry harvest and will be grinding all of them into seeds for next fall

    I also have my greenhouse but don’t know what to do with it at the moment, I’m more interested in building more coops and barns (if I can bloody well think of places for them blasted hilltop farm) because more animals means more mayo and cheese

    So thoughts suggestions?

  13. I wish I had better friend safari’s in my Y game. Most of the ones I have either have a lot of repeats of other safari’s or they’re boring. Kind of wish I had a cool ghost type one so I could hunt for Halloween

  15. Really sucks what’s happening with Neo GAF……Why are people so terrible. Because of the owners awful possible actions the entire site is down and will likely never come back. More importantly he assaulted a woman (allegedly) and that’s a million times worse than just the site going down…….

  17. Can we talk about the Hoenn regis for a second? Particularly who the best one is

    Regirock: A boring pile of rocks

    Registeel: A steel thingy

    Regice: An iceberg that has a high pitched voice and dances

  20. Better question why the hell can purugly outspeed Rayquaza and Latios especially considering the latter can LITERALLY FLY FASTER THAN A JET PLANE

  24. Really not feeling this week, but at least we have Soup Loogie Odd Sea at the end of the week! I’m glad I decided to hold off on FE:Warriors, turns out I have a pretty busy week ahead of me, so I wouldn’t really have much time anyway.
