We’ve covered various rumors which have mentioned Team Rocket returning under a new name, but we may have finally gotten official confirmation about its existence. A Japanese retail display shows what appear to be Team Rocket grunts in front of a rainbow background preparing to battle the protagonist.
Other screenshots seem to confirm that Team Rocket has set up a headquarters of sorts in Alola (or they could have taken over a certain location). We’ll bring you more as it comes! As always thanks PokéSirena for helping us keep news coming fast!
Really excited for this because it’s a great celebration of the franchise: especially if other evil team members come back for this!
But if their name is literally Rainbow Rocket my eyes are gonna roll to November 17th
Ikr..absoutely amazing how they’re linking the past with the present/future.
I wonder how they’ll play in the story and if we really will get the other teams. That would be just amazing
Prepare for trouble…
…and make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unife all peoples within our nation!
To denounce the evils of truth and love!
Go extend our reach to the stars above!
Sun!
Moon!
Team Rainbow Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Nebby, dat’s right!
(Lillie in the background trying to get Nebby in the bag and Hau just watching open mouthed)
Gladion just stares like what’s this rubbish!
O H. B O I
O H. G E O V A N N I
I T ‘ S Y A B O I
GUZMA
Wowowowowow Amazing!
YES! MEGA EVOLUTION YES!
Tell me! who isn’t hyped to see the original gangsters back!
Tell me this game is a carbon copy of SM??
Gamefreak have really out done themselves. I like how they are linking the OLD with the NEW!
guess the rumors of a returning team are true then. Can I expect more aloha forms too?
Yes!
To be honest, no. I wouldn’t expect them, but rather be honestly surprised if they do happen. Leaks have gotten stuff wrong/thrown in fake stuff before.
Two different leaks who hinted to rainbow rocket mentioned also new alola forms. So yes, you can expect them.
TEAM ROCKET UNDER A NEW NAME
THIS IS LITERALLY RAINBOW ROCKET
THESE LEAKS ARE REAL JESUS FUCKING HELL IM HYPED
I guess Molayne become elite four is also legit
Apparently we’re getting a trialer in like three hours (2pm in BST)
O H M Y G O D Y E S IM STRUGGLING NOT TO JOY SCREAM
I’d like to point out it’s from 4chan so it’s not entirely confirmed, but GameFreak/Nintendo deliberately released these download cards knowing what was on it. This isn’t a leak at all, so it’d make sense a trialer actually explaining it is coming soon.
AAAAAAAAAH
*3PM don’t judge me I’m tired
Really where how what when???:O
Where did you hear the news about the trailer?
4chan
4chan but it’s a rational guess anyway because GF deliberately released this Rocket info
People are saying the next game may be a reboot
With the absolute NUTHOUSE that USUM is cracking up to be, I wouldn’t be shocked
This isn’t the culmination of a system. This is the culmination of a fucking ERA
I want a total reboot where I can’t even transfer my old Pokemon until they reintroduce them in the third version/remakes that come after them
I’m fine with that as long as we get em at some point
Yeah I was thinking exactly the same.
They’re throwing everything into these games including elements from past games.
I definitely see a BW approach coming gen 8 which would be great!
If the Reboot wouldn’t be a new region with new mons, I’ll be kinda dissapointed
So the rumour of Geovanni getting all the evil teams together and capturing Lusamine where we have to battle them all would be amazing if its true.
If this makes it then USUM maybe the best poke games of all time !!
Actually it was never specified to be Lusamine. Just someone dear to Lillie, it is probably going to be Nebby in my opinion. However I am quite hyped that the USUM wishlist and Rainbow Rumors are turning out to be true leaks.
If it’s Nebby then it could not be a post-game thing.
can you imagine aqua/magma, galactic, plasma and flare returning because geovanni influenced them.
Crazy!
This game is gonna be bananas
Bananas, Apples, Mangos and every damn fruit!
No. But I don’t have to imagine it because that is what is going to be happening in these games!!!!
These games are gonna be crazy like a culmination of the entire series like one last hooraaaa!
My imagination is running wild like how will it all play out so much possibilities. I should stop now!
Honestly, if they hadn’t confirmed a game for Switch, I would suspect this would be the last one!
I don’t know why but I feel like GF wanted to make these games the culmination of a long-time plot. With “all comes together” and rainbow as codename it seems like they want to end something with USUM.
I think Gen 8 will be something completly different from what we have had. Maybe a reboot?
This makes me THAT much more hyped for these games. Can we expect Alolan forms of their original teams? Oh god that would be interesting
Anything is possible when we have a revived team rocket coming to Alola!
And just think people were complaining this was gonna be whack
Exactly but I was one of the few people on here keeping my hopes on GF. They now seem potentially the best games ever
I think GF learned from XY/SM to not leak or announce everything ahead of time
Well, it’s difficult because if they came to Alola through the wormholes as the leaks say they should have brought their pokemon with them, so they must have their regional pokemon and not the alola forms.
Thats true but you never know what happened to the pokemon traveling through these wormholes. Im sure GF would make up some reason as to why they’re using Alolan formed pokemon lol
The leaks are really!!!!!!!!!! Rainbow rocket for the win!!!! I can’t wait to see the new Alolan forms!!!
Sam Smith comes out as gender non-binary, and Twitter goes into meltdown. At least, on my timeline.
Umm… Pikachu?
Who?
A British singer
Homosexual Adele
Gender non-binary Adele
I must be a really bad gay cause i had to look up what gender non-binary meant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAR5cqVYQKw
I was gonna make a joke about this, but I got nothing. But seriously, Team Rocket returning sounds cool
That means Molayne is in E4? Neat, he was kinda cool. And again, What did the RR leak say about new Alolans?
It says Grass/Poison types are getting Alolan Forms
So maybe Victreebell
The leak said that it is most likely the Oddish line
Good moooorning douchebags
So that new Switch update lets you use GameCube controllers if you have the smash adaptor
Did you notice that Team Rocket is back?…
I did, and i feel indifferent towards this newsflash
Cool? but why on earth would you wanna use a Gamecube controller if you can just get a Pro?
Alolan Farfetch’d or bust
Typing and what would happen with the infamous stick?
Grass/Flying and it’s become one with the stick
Dark/Flying and the stick is now a machine gun because now it’s human season
Ghost/Flying and it’s floating with its stick because it was made into soup
Steel/Flying and it’s sick of everyone’s shít so it picked up a katana and some armour and let loose
I like the machine gun one
Still want to see Farfetch’d’s evolution, Rapscallion.
Might be nice to see how Team Rocket and Skull interact with each other.
Rocket, huh? Wonder if Giovanni is back in the seat.
For those wondering, this is the Rainbow Rocket leak:
– There’s a new battle facility in the festival plaza that resembles the battle factory in past third versions that allow you to rent pokes from your friends and you earn festival coins and rewards after beating your opponents
– There’s also a level system to it, as you level up you get to rent more powerful pokes
but it’s true that all of them are coming back
– RR will capture Aether Paradise and kidnap Lillie’s you-know-who
– And you will have to fight all of them in order to rescure her
– Those bosses are summoned by someone from RR from universes in which they accomplished their agendas
– Gen 1 grass/poison pokemon gets alolan form
– Molayne is one of the new elite four
RR is short for Rainbow Rocket, the grass/poison Pokémon is probably Oddish. Those evil teams’ bosses use legendary pokemon and they are summoned by Giovanni (in real world of Alola) from alternate universes…
What does “but it’s true that all of them are coming back” mean?
You rent them, they come back to their owners
I feel like that goes with saying though
Actually this leak, is a collection of rumors that someone from 4chan, I believe it is the Chinese Riddler, collected and said that he or she backed them up. Don’t be disheartened, the USUM wishlist is from one source and says the same thing as these rumors but was more vague.
This could play out really nicely in the Anime with Jesse, James and Meowth. Maybe there’s a new Rainbow Rocket trio, with a guy, a girl and an Alolan Meowth.
Wouldnt surprise me if they just bring back Butch and Cassidy because why not & they are lazy
It wouldn’t make sense… Maybe just Jessie and James from the RR universe where they have a talking Alolan Meowth
I think you mean bart
Inb4 Rainbow Rocket gets co-opted by the lgbtq community and they all start cosplaying as Rocket members lolz
W H A T
Just you wait haha
#Gayovanni
So I guess this means that in this alternate universe Gold/Kris never shut down neo team rocket in Johto because idk how they could’ve opened a new branch in Alola without Giovanni or any of the admins especially when in Johto they were weak enough to be take. Down by one child
Maybe Giovanni just defeated Red
Heresy!!!
Yeah but red is at the battle tree so he would have to have something that makes him such a legend so I’m assuming that GS was the game with different events
But RR is from an alternate universe
…
yes…
Which would mean something would have to change in this universe to allow them to regain power in Alola
Some apparent rumour posted below says an alternative universe where each team accomplished their goals like Magma and Aqua taking over Hoenn with land and water respectively.
Which I think would be really cool
So at this point, USUM has 4(?) evil teams(and possibly even more). Thats more than the last three gens had combined. But we were told that USUM are crap, have nothing new and are going to flop. Explain?
I think GF have set so high standards and people are just so pessimistic at times it annoys me.
Anyways just as I predicted USUM are gonna be crazy because its the last 3ds game they need it 2 keep us busy till gen 8!
If we’re really getting a trailer in few hours-predictions?
Mine are:
Mimikyu Z-Move
Rainbow Rocket
New Alolans
One new UB
Necrozma Star Form
Maybe a Z-move for Necrozma Star Form
We will probably get it in 5 minutes lol
Slow down there. We still have like 24 days until these games drop. I would expect them to reveal this info spread over two trailers and a CoroCoro issue. At most I would expect for them to just do a slight review of what was revealed in the interviews last week, Mimikyu’s Z-move because that had been leaked for over a week, and Rainbow Rocket.
Okay okay but how cool would it be if we fought every evil team leader with a Mega Evolution
Mega Honchcrow for Cyrus
actually Weavile is his strongest so that would be the mega
But Honchcrow is top 10 Pokemon oat
But honch is his signature
That’d mean
Mega Persian (and Probably mega Alolan Persian)
Mega Honchcrow
Mega Zoroark/Hydraigon
Mega Pyroar
And Maybe
Mega Clefable
And Mega Golisopod
Or mega Bewear
Lysandre already has a Mega
It’s annoying that the pokemon he basically resembles didn’t get a mega and they instead gave him Gyarados
Actually Mega Rhyperior, Giovanni anime is the only time he has a persian, his strongest always is Rhydon (except in FRLG were for some bizarre reason his strongest was a Rhyhorn)
Mega Weavile
Hydreigon
Gyarados is his Mega duhh
And Lusamine is a wild card
AND HELL YEAH MEGA GOLISOPOD
Mega Golisopod yanno, because that overgrown insect isnt too OP already
https://www.google.com/search?q=Mega+Golisopod&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjgh_mAqonXAhVLRSYKHUGzBIIQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=949#imgrc=fGJ6f27qn7L2RM:
Why doesn’t Lusamine have a Froslass
Like… that’s the Pokémon that fits her the most
Better question: Why is there no Alolan Clefable for Lusamine, like for God’s Sake why is there no f*cking Alolan Clefable
Maybe because they don’t have a reason to change?
Maybe the caves and forests suit Clefairy’s existential needs and harbors no need to physically change to suit its environment
*Alolan Raichu*
GF does not care
you can’t hide behind the worst defense forever
Also, Clefable is sort of the Counterpart to Raichu. Clefairy could have been the Pikachu of the series, they got a prevo in gen 2, they both evolve from more popular mon with a stone.
Clefairy isn’t a counterpart to Pikachu. At all. If anything it’s a counterpart to Jigglypuff
Not officially, but you can’t say there aren’t many connections
They both evolve via moon stone
Both got a pre evo
Both pink fluff balls
No??
I said sort of and I said my arguments. What are you saying ”No” to?
You are completely wrong. Like… just objectively wrong
…..you constantly give me more reasons i should have your intestine pulled out with rusty farm equipment
I’m lucky I live in a Country you never heard of
Wtf is a Poland
WHY THE HELL DOES SHE NOT HAVE A NIHILEGO SERIOUSLY SHE DOESN”T EVEN HAVE THE POKEMON SHE”S EFFING OBSESSED WITH IN HER FINAL BATTLE
Because she’s fused with it in her final battle you dummy. For her Nihilego is more than a mon to battle.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE NIHILIGO
Then forget the first part of my post
She only caught one of them and that’s the one she fused with though. She didn’t catch any of the other ones because she wasn’t planning on battling with them.
Why does she have a Bewear? I dont see the connection
Girls like that cutsy crap
I like cutsey crap…
Cutesy stuff is rad af
There’s nothing cute about Bewear
Because she tends to smother people with affection (at least in the anime) and doesn’t realize she’s hurting others
I imagine GF had this in mind
Or on the outside she doesn’t appear too dangerous, but get too close to her and she’ll smother you
True
Probably because Acerola has it and they didn’t want overlap because they already had another feminine ghost type in the game
But…
Her hair looks like snorunt
She froze those Pokémon…
Like… just swap the ghosts
I think her hair subjectively looking like a random Pokemon isn’t a good reason for that tbh
And arguably, Mismagius is more beautiful than Froslass, at least in the eyes of the people who made Lusamine’s team.
The freezing is the main reason why
There’s plenty of people who share personality traits with Pokemon and don’t get it. I don’t see why it’s a big deal if she doesn’t have Froslass
It just feels like a missed opportunity
This game is gonna be insane… and I thought Odyssey had me hyped!
Tis going to be a very worthwhile gaming season
My only fear is our own eagerness will burn out our expectations and blow through the game in a week
Qwilfish and Mareanie are basically counter parts
Both are difficult to find
Both are poison/water
Both are spiky
But only one has an evolution. Am I sensing Gen 2 Discrimination?
No you’re sensing sarcasm
Weird one, Araquanid and Masquerain are considered counterparts for some weird reason
Bulbapedia says it i think
Because they’re day/night exclusive and have the same BST
Oops misread

Thanks for this
It really is the best reaction for this
What is this from?
Boku no Hero Academia
Watch it.
The community as of now.
Somebody screwed up! That is AWESOME, whatever it is.
They’re the official download cards for USUM so I doubt they’re a mistake
I wouldn’t be surprised if they made one single new Alolan form and stopped there.
If they really see gen 7 as a celebration of 20 years of Pokemon, they should add at least 1 Alolan form from every generation imo
More like a celebration of gen 1
Real shame because the announcement trailer for SM was a dedication to all games, not just R/B/Y. I dont hate gen 1 at all, but the pampering has gone way too far
You okay there SUmo critical? :p
I was complaining about the gen 1 pandering the moment I realized that all the Alolan forms that were revealed were only from gen 1. Before SuMo was even out.
Wut
I was just making a joke about how cynical your comment was, I wasn’t talking about pandering or anything
I was just following up by saying I’ve had this complaint since before SuMo
But like
I was talking about your comment on only one new alolans, not anything about what the alolans are
The formatting in the comments is weird so it showed up under the gen 1 pandering thing oops
That would just be weird, but I guess I wouldn’t be super surprised
Everyone is thinking Oddish will get an Alolan form. But I am here hoping Victreebel gets one. It would be cool to see a Grass/Water Victreebel. Also it would be nice to see other UB’s evolve like Cosmog does. Maybe a Ground or Water type one.
It’s going to be Victreebell because they’re not going to make two evolutions for Alolan oddish
I hope so too, I always liked Victreebel better.
As a fellow Sunny, I share your sentiments on Alola Victreebell.
Ah, there are more of my kind on this world. Greetings fellow Sunny. And yeah, if they are sticking to Gen 1, then I’d love a Water/Fairy Rapidash. But low key, every gen had a different pattern Arbok. What if this Gen didn’t get a pattern, but an Alolan form!
Again!? Ok they better be good atleast this time -_- they’ve already appeared in like 4 games and looks like that wasn’t enough, just hoping the admins aren’t bland this time.
But really tho, why would they bring them back? Team Skull is basically a much better Rocket and they have a lot of things in common so I don’t think they’re gonna play a major role both at the same time, maybe Rocket is just Post-game and you could fight more evil teams as well.
So… yeah, I kinda feel that this is more pandering than anything, Gen 1 already got Alolan forms and now this.
Gen 6 and 7 are like 50% pandering
Maybe they are post game. From the looks of it, it seems the Rocket Hideout is in some odd Rainbow Dimension.
I hope too, that’d add a lot of life to the post game :0
Every Gen but the 5th Gen can be accused of Gen 1 pandering.
Gen 7 so far is a much bigger case for me atleast
Well yeah
Only Kanto Alolans
Red/Blue are back
Alolan Oak
Like 5 Kanto pokemon get exclusive z moves
We literally came from Kanto
because it had 150 Pokémon
Wow
Yeah really pandering in the one game where you can’t catch Pikachu
*but the 5th Gen
Read
I missed one word I’m sorry. I’m at school so I’m not paying the closest attention
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant to say that the 5th Gen was the exception to 1st Gen pandering rule. At least until the 5th Gen remakes come out.
Well a lot of decisions these days boil down to Gen 1 pandering. It’s a sad truth.
I just hope Galactic is back, I’d love to hear their theme remixed
Maybe my theory is right and each gen after gen 6 will be a celebration of each gen from 1 to 6. So Maybe gen 2 regionals, a Rainbow Neo Rocket and Gen 2 protags in Gen 8, gen 3 regionals, Rainbow Magma and Aqua and Gen 3 Protags in Gen 9 and so on
So they already planned another 6 gens? o_o that seems a little far fetched imo
I guess so, but you never know in modern times how much is planned in franchises
*cough* Marvel *cough*
Thinks back to the announcement of the Detective Pikachu film…the PCU has already begun!
no
I feel like I’m the only person who really couldn’t care less about pandering
It’s not going to kill anyone and using your most popular iteration is what is gonna get you more attention
I can tell you now that if you randomly asked people on the street a decent amount of people will know what a Team Rocket is and like maybe one or two will know what a Team Plasma is
When it’s a 20 year celebration it is most certainly a problem. On Zelda’s 25th you didn’t see pandering to Ocarina of Time. The official art literally had every incarnation of Link. They celebrated all of the amazing games that people loved.
Gen 7 is nothing but gen 1 love for no reason other than it gets 90s kids who haven’t touched pokemon since gold/silver to notice when they see Alolan exeggutor on the trending page on YouTube
I’m really, just tired of the amount of attention that they’re giving to one gen and how they’re almost ignoring the others, like this has been like that for gens and gens, just leave Kanto alone, it has their time to shine and shone well.
And for the popularity thing, yes there are more people who know Gen 1 more than 5, but what about the 15+ million sales that BW got compared to the 10+ Million the FRLG got and is not that BW was despised considering it got a 8.1 rating on metacritic. And it’s almost like, a good chunk of people buying these games are already familiar with other games.
And yes, I know it’s because of GO, but I just hate when they care for one gen in particular while limiting the other gens in one or two cameos.
Doesn’t the Rainbow Rocket Headquarters look a lot like the Shady House? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dcddd2ea994b9fea67e0c4e5872961609e03684080d828948c791ff87fb05660.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c43cef0d9a7daa9e91e516f7156894b003f1ea458ce674cc249e8659abb1ecae.png
Or am I just crazy?
Its the Aether Paradise mansion, look at the front door.
Oh yeah, it is. Well, never mind what I said before.
Why tho
KAHOOT IS IN SPOOKY MODE
I feel like GameFreak is constantly holding itself back.
Removing features fans love, obsessing over the days where pokemon was everyware and pandering to gen 1 and fans that are 20+ now and if they don’t play Pokémon now they probably won’t because Santalune forest is a 3D viridian forest, and just taking such little risks in the gameplay.
I feel there’s two ways to look at it.
1. Gamefreak should take risks especially now that we’re approaching gen 8 and I think they will take some on the switch
2. Many people like myself appreciate the references to gen 1 but I don’t think it’s the be all end all, just GF giving fans some nostalgia
Except the gen 1 pandering is going so far that it is seeping into every aspect of the games
Alolan Forms
Z Moves
Team Rocket for no reason
Alolan Oak also for no reason just as a cheap joke
The gen one pandering is annoying and has no place in games that are meant to celebrate the whole series.
Sonic games celebrate their history better. How sad is that
Yeah it can only go so far. I hope they don’t continue it to gen 8 and we get a fresh BW like start however the points you’ve mentioned above I don’t see them to be that big a deal tbh
– Alolan forms are a interesting concept and even of you disliked it we only got like 10 mons not the entire kanto dex
– Not sure how Z moves relates to gen 1? Maybe I’m overlooking something
– Time will tell what purpose TR holds in USUM. There must be a reason
– Pokemon characters do have relatives too you know. It’s just continuity I guess
You missed my points
– The idea of Alolan forms are fine. There is no reason why they should be gen 1 only.
– most of the exclusive z moves in SuMo were gen 1 pokemon
– Oh please we know already how this is going to work. Team Skull is Rocket but better in every way. They have no reason to be in this game. GS just crowding up the game.
– I don’t know about you but my cousin doesn’t have my exact face
Fair enough with the first 2 points ✌
As for Team Rocket’s return as of now we don’t have enough information and no we don’t know it’s actually rather surprising that they are returning and if it wasn’t for the rumours prior it would have shocked us even further soo we don’t know what role they will play exactly.
Perhaps a post game delta like plot.
And lastly yeah big deal it’s just one character star :]
It’s the principle of it though. There is no logic or sense to throwing them in. In any situation. Like…. they are only there for genwunners who won’t buy the game anyways.
And Alolan Oak is still a waste of time that is once again only there as a cheap joke for gen wunners
The whole joke of Samson Oak is that he’s the alolan for of Professor Oak
The issue that Star has is that there is no Alola Elm, or an Alola Birch.
Because all professors between Oak and Sycamore were terrible ?
I think the Z-moves is because a couple Kanto Pokémon got exclusive Z-moves. While the problem with Alola Oak is that his impressions of Pokémon are quite horrible. In fact if they increased such interactions in USUM then the games will probably get a 7.8/10 because there is too much Alola Oak.
Yeah but having a bunch of “nostalgia” in literally every gen kinda takes away the feeling of it
I don’t even feel nostalgia for Pokémon anymore with how much it has been abused
Exactly
True but honestly I don’t feel the nostalgia references we got in SM where deal breaking.
Cameo red and blue was basically a cameo. Alolan mons where what 10 of them and as for USUM we will have to see.
On the scale of the game they are just small minor references rather than major parts that overshadow the entire game.
X and Y only had Gen 6 and Gen 1 legendaries, megas for the Kanto starters and not even the Kalos starters, SANTALUNE FOREST WAS LITERALLY VIRIDIAN. Look at the lay outs
This sh*t had been going on for two gens now
Ehhh yeah you do have a point ?
Also ash greninja
Anyone else think Rainbow Rocket is inevitably going to be Necrozma related? Their colours are black and rainbow, just like everyone’s favorite parasitic prism
Of course I get a Marill with Aqua Jet bred onto it, but not with Knock-Off smh.
Seriously? Team Rocket? What is this the anime? I don’t want team rocket back team skull does their Job but way better and funny. Are we ever gonna stop going back to gen 1 things? This is just super tedious. It doesn’t even sound right! Team Rocket in Alola. I’ll give it a chance.
Giovanni better NOT be the leader. They have specifically said in multiple places he has quit team rocket.
Also if all this is just to send a radio signal for giovanni I’m quitting mid game.
Rumor says Ghetsis ends up leading them all
THAT MAKES EVEN LESS SENSE
Rumor says that StarStorm will be so infuriated at the senseless nature of the antagonists in these games, such that, StarStorm jumps into the game-and here is the plot twist- becomes an actual Star Pokémon revealing that StarStorm was the mysterious Pokémon on both covers all along.
I’ll pull an Asriel and you’ll have to battle me to stop me from deleting the game
It does make sense as far as his character goes. I can imagine him manipulating all the team leaders.
I highly doubt it would happen tho I mean he isnt a gen 1 character why would he get the spolight? Lmao
Its Ash
It all comes together!
So the guy whose one of his team grunt, criticized team rocket for its incompetence, is now leading them….
Woahh take it easy. I dont get this we’ve had TR in four seperate games cry.
Yeah just give it a chance for all we know we might get the other evil teams and this won’t be the same TR with GF’s better plot and story telling you can expect some fireworks
So on closer look at Burst’s image we fight it near a cove possibly on Wela
Wait scratch that i totally missed Hala https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fd927ce5255db7ed1a65cb95ed081dcf80bbadfadbe41d08079177cbd3a94a71.png
That pose
Burst making miss Tyra Banks weep in her six inch heels ?
Mmmmmm 6inch heels
Oh god… 6 inch heels
Anyone else who doesn’t like trails? I mean they give you no feeling of accomplishment when beaten and some of them just feel like chores. They just kinda feel pointless and doesn’t prove anything as a trainer to me
Life skills gained
Because they threw them in last minute
Fantastic idea
Terrible execution
I mean I appreciate them trying something new but yeah they could be a lot better
I hope they change them but I’m so doubtful
I hope trials are better this time
In school, nobody cares
Anyone else in school?
Yep…
Yep
I’m dying :3
Me too
Developmental Neuroscience for the win!
So apparently a lot of the younger devs are working on Pokémon USUM while the older veterens are working on Pokémon Switch
Thats a good thing
They just consider it practice for the younger devs, which is annoying.But, they at least seem to be doing a good job so far, and they have some veterans working on it too
Yeah
Makes sense. The infrastructure is already there for USUM so they can play around and learn without having to worry about making the game from the ground up. Meanwhile the senior members are busy building the foundations of gen 8
The design I hope looks better
USUM has be giga hyped
This annoucnment
I just wanna know what a Cyrus and Ghetsis who have succeeded are like :3
Badass
Did the leak say the leaders succeeded? I just assumed they were generally just in the game and it wouldn’t mention for certain if they did or didn’t
I think TyranitarTube did a video on it
I believe so
Hmmmm I don’t remember seeing it. I’ll have to look around again.
Kayy
Succeeded? Cyrus wanted to destroy the universe and create another one for a reason not really well explained, and Ghetsis wanted to conquer the world.
So the more interesting question would be how’s a world where they’ve succeeded gonna look like :0
I mean … destroyed for Cyrus at least
Will they be god status?
WILL THEY HAVE LEGENDARIES!?
I think
If they succeeded the world would be destroyed by Cyrus -.-
alternate universes
I’d imagine he’d be like a god of the broken world
This is another reason I hate this alternate universe idea
They can just make up sh*t without committing to what they did before
They can still commit to what they did before
If rocket is post game
Callin it now the rocket stuff is the big post game story
Thatd be nice
Idk. With lusamije seemingly being chill it would leave room for another evil entity to take the AFs place. No Team Skull doesn’t count either……hahaha
RECON
I don’t think they’ll be evil straight up. They’ve already done the “they’re good! Jk they’re bad” with the AF and I don’t think they’ll do it again
It seems like it really
so is this true yet
https://archive-media-0.nyafuu.org/vp/image/1505/22/1505223065653.jpg
Essentially
Except for the part about Hau wearing better clothing…wait he is wearing cashmere now. I guess I stand corrected.
what if he changes mid through 😛
Better clothing and pulls a Blue…so halfway through the game he skins Blue and wears his skin.
R E D
Crying this dude was leaking details in March and nobody took it seriously for months.
Sorry but I still think he just got lucky because they expanded the camera sh*t and they haven’t shown any new Pokémon. Just UBs.
The guy’s username is USUM for crying out loud…
but he said RR? which is Rainbow Rocket
There’s people who have pointed out Camera fixes
If there’s even a single new pokemon besides a UB, this is true
Well I mean
UBs are Pokemon, and forms are often treated as new Pokémon
And just because a leak gets one or two things wrong doesn’t mean it’s automatically a guess lol
Game Freak treats them as separate and the leak separated them too
I believe GF 100% confirmed they are Pokemon now
> SuMo direct
> Captioned ‘New Pokémon’
> Shows UB Burst
You’re forgetting the possibility that GF may have added a new Mythical in these games for next year’s movie.
Why would he want Lusamine to take a chill pill? Her being crazy af made her one of the best villains in Pokemon really
He hasn’t gotten anything wrong yet and his points are also backed up by the Chinese Riddler. That or he is astronomically lucky. Occam’s Razor says that his wishlist is true.
He did, the Hau changing clothes but this is a wish list more than anything really
You’re saying this about a game that comes after two games were main characters had significant costume changes during the game
A costume change is not even that much of an issue for me. I want a different Hau though, he was so boring in SM & didn’t act as a rival at all. If he pulls a Blue, i’d be very satisfied.
He’s honestly going to be fleshed out a fair bit here
The DP’s overexcited rival didn’t have any considerable change at all and Cheren and Bianca had them because BW2 was a sequel and they’ve grown up.
And we’ve seen Hau with the same clothes already
Lillie and Iris. That’s what I’m meaning. Both changed clothes halfway through the story. This literally happened last year. Nothing is preventing Hau from changing clothes in the story. – _-
They both had a reason. The only reason I can find Hau changes clothes if he had a sudden personality change like the “””leak””” seems to be hinting at.
Hau already has a huge personality change in SuMo. He goes from trying to become stronger to surpass and impress other people before becoming stronger for himself.
And yeah. If the accurate so far leak is right, a costume change isn’t out of order.
^^^
Yeah, I forgot about that “huge” personality change, I hope that the costume change makes it a little better developed or something like that but can’t ask much for GF ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If you don’t think a character’s motivations completely changing isn’t huge I think you need to find a dictionary
adjective, huger, hugest.
1.
extraordinarily large in bulk, quantity, or extent:
a huge ship; a huge portion of ice cream.
2.
of unbounded extent, scope, or character; limitless:
the huge genius of Mozart.
3.
Slang. very important, successful, popular, etc.:
The show is huge in Britain.
Do you think a character change that was not very well conveyed is one of those things?
Important is a more fitting word that works way better. And I’m the one supposed to find a dictionary :3
As someone mentioned before, that can happen mid game or it could mean something else. Also wishlist is just a name he gave to the thread because he wanted to be subtle for some reason.
Uh, why’d it happen mid game? There’s not much reason and if that’d been the case, they’d probably have already shown us how he looks like
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this totally isn’t any sort of leak don’t screen cap let’s wait for the game to be announced
Why did you cite the last comment?
I just find it really funny
How?
If they’re gonna pretend it’s not a leak, they did it in a obvious way
I mean they were saying it’s a leak but they knew nobody at the time would believe it
I feel like had credence once USUM was announced and had the same initials
Some things have come true but other stuff clearly hasn’t.
Why are they throwing out all of the plot threads that just needed fleshing out like Lusamine’s craziness….
I’m so tired
It’s probably post game star, there’s no way in hell rocket is main game
Ehm if the RR leak is true that means they take over Aether Paradise and kidnap either Nebby or Lusamine. If thats post game i sure as hell am curious what the main story will be
The main story is gonna be Ultron Recon and Necrozma obviously
I’m not gonna lie, Lusamine’s craziness was about as well executed as it could’ve been a Pokémon game
It wasn’t exposition’d all over your face but the material is there to make it obvious how it happened.
I guess so but I feel like the SuMo plot as good in its own, it just needed characters and relationships fleshed out so the player actually understands stuff like why Skull was working with Aether while minimizing cutscenes and dialogue or adding a skip button
I gotta be honest
I felt SuMo was flawed as fuckk plotwise
Obviously. So why are we throwing it all out in favor for a totally different plot
Honestly? I feel like it’s cause GF had certain plotpoints and lore the current plot couldn’t touch so they’re switching things up to get to them
Plus, the plot honestly isn’t AMAZINGLY different.
I mean Rocket is 99% postgame
Just saying, if you take pictures of people without them consenting or even knowing, f*ck you.
Platonically.
Like photo taking?
I remember a photo class forced me to do that.. super awkward
Like with their phone randomly
Oh…
Fucc that
I’m so fucking angry right now
So… may I ask what happened? Was it a random stranger or someone you know?
This dickhead who sits next to me in computer science. He took a picture of me and then got my attention to SHOW ME POSTING IT ON SNAPCHAT
How much of an inconsiderate peice of sh*t do you have to be to do that to me while I tell you I don’t want my picture taken. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me and I’m just livid
You could tell someone and get him in trouble
Posting pictures without consent is against the law actually
Platonically
Pretty sure that is illegal.
Good thing I never do that, if I want a picture I ask first and if they say no oh well, if they say yes then *click*
I mean if its not going to be posted anywhere its fine, but if they take it then without consent then post, that’s a problem
If all the big bads are back
Which Plasma is being taken
The Ninja one obs, It’s their more recent reincarnation
I can see it for sure
But like… two corlesses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qknPcOzYRug
Can we talk about how USUM’s entire release season is a tease? Like I’m fine with it but it totally was
You are talking in past tense. There is still more than 14% of the release season left.
It’s still gonna be a tease
But it always has been
I need that trailer to drop nao I got nothing even remotely good going on for me right now cause of the stupid annoying stress is giving me PLEASE COME THROUGH GF
I’m not sure if we will get a trailer soon. I mean they didn’t do anything when it was leaked that Mimikyu had a Z-move. I know that situation is slightly different, but I still predict that we will get a trailer as early as Thursday this week. However, I am still hopeful that we will get a trailer today because I share your sentiments.
Yessh
I predict Thursday at the latest
Tbh I seriously wanna take a break from here because the USUM negativity is super strong rn
But like… I actually have nobody else to talk to sooooooo……
You got me
Mate I see you one period a day for around 5 minutes
Discord? Kik?
I’m in math class rn.. aka G A R B A G E
I meant after school
I can talk about sunny things about USUM, but I have class now.
Same…
I’d say just do it, God knows I am
Can you keep me company on the cord of discs?
Sure but I’ll be busy the whole week but I’ll respond when I can
kaaaaaaay
Am I the only one fed up with Team Rocket appearing so much? Same deal with Kanto in general though.
I mean……it hasn’t? It’s been in 4 sets of games. 2 of which were direct sequels/remakes. This will be the first time they’re making an appearance outside of the Kanto/Johto area.
If there’s other teams I do not mind
There are 4… that’s so many
Post game star
the only reason im excited for USUM
https://78.media.tumblr.com/e1f40a79229108b347e12108dd467716/tumblr_oxcyb5WaKP1uwlqvvo1_500.gif
I wish they weren’t version exclusive…
I really don’t like mustache guy
But moustache?
iPhone keyboard my dude
no i spelt it like that on purpose
I’m just an idiot
U are not!
Did you say moustache?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hle2-bGDh10
Probably the best thing in USUM so far coupled with Assembly
Honestly they look great
Smurfstache
Plot twist: They have cheesecake flavored skin and the girl with her tongue out is licking herself to get a taste
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqUwBJFfzwc
My sole reason is this
https://img00.deviantart.net/aab4/i/2016/250/d/a/jangmo_o_by_notawesomeaki-dagtmrc.jpg
Spare me the early pseudo legend close cliché banter but
“Jangmo-o…you will be the warrior prince….this I promise. You were taken from from your kingdom, will endure many hardships, but in the end you will return…as King”
So we are getting a battle factory that’s worse than average battle factory. Well that sucks… I just wanted something like PWT or BF. Something where I can accomplish multiple things
Battle Frontier obviously had the frontier brains and symbols to accomplish.
PWT also had all the types and leaders and regions. I made a list myself to concur everything on every battle mode which made it fun. Even the medal system was amazing!
Battle factory+ Tree isn’t enough. I can’t stay on that for a while. I’m really excited for USUM and they still have time to show us something new, but so far it looks as if USUM will have the worst post game content out of any 3rd version
You already know that this battle facility is going to be worse than average battle factory, even though the games wont be released for another 24 days ok.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/451d5c8a2eb503b1cb7b6344c4f8c46507ff00c6009a84d56cc5174ccc104bc2.gif
Eye didn’t expect this gif
I’m so sick of this thinking. We know GameFreak by now do we not? We know they don’t care. We know that they know that they can tease us with features we want while cutting them in half.
Our expectations are so low they’re basically sitting in a grave. If game Freak wants to show they give a sh*t then maybe they should actually try.
Meh I play for the Pokémon not the features so… Don’t get me wrong their fun, but not my main focus
YOU ARE NOT THE ENTIRE FANDOM.
PLENTY OF PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF AND ITS RIDICULOUS THAT GAMEFREAK CONTINUES TO SHOW THIS LEVEL OF APATHY TOWARDS THEIR OWN FANS
Tbh, I don’t really see it. I guess the lack of trailers and the bringing back of the Festival Plaza, but other than that, it seems like they do care. Maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about, but that’s how I feel
They care greatly as can be seen from the continuity of many features.
Some may say they’re not taking risks but how many times have we seen a series in games or anime change drastically and fail.
Also interviews show they have great thought process and effort behind most things.
Maybe the fans are showing a worse level of apathy, did that ever cross your mind??
Well thanks for adding to the conversation at hand. Because you didnt
Exactly. Its like how we expect Things, in general, we base it on our previous knowledge. And lately GF hasn’t done anything to prove they’ll add a note worthy post game.
Every enhanced version in the past has had a very good & extended post game, why should USUM be any different?
Because Platinum was made 10 years ago and the past 3 games have had nothing to do after the E4
Oh but we’re being ridiculous aren’t we
B2W2 wasn’t 10 years ago
Have you not seen the Alola map? No sign of anything.
And the rumor already said there is a factory like frontier. Which pretty much implies no frontier
If you gonna judge a game based on a map, which is scaled down in detail my initial point stands.
But judging a game based on a leak that’s been true so far isn’t good, right? Or judging it on its recent history. Those things aren’t good? You say it like were doing a wrong by judging it.
BTW. I’m not judging the game as a whole. I think you’re misunderstanding. I’m gonna love usum as I love alola, but all I’m doing is saying it probably won’t have good post game battle facility
i’ve seen you people bitching about these games since the Direct in which they were announced. Just stay humble and admit that you were wrong
Wrong. I actually haven’t said many things negative about usum. As I just said I fully supported it. So you aren’t talking about me. I’m.just disappointed in lack of post game from what I’ve seen.
Yeah he might be mistaking you for Star… or another person who has been real negative
probably star!
Yeah it got boring-ish, but that’s why I believe USUM is becoming the successor to its original
It was 5 years ago and we have had three games since then.
Then I wouldn’t Platinum as your only example. If one doesn’t think first one might think you are adding BW to the list with nothing in them
Wait BW added a whole new portion of the region to explore? That’s just slightly less than Platinum (Platinum add three islands)
BW and BW2 added White Hollow and Black City
XY you caught me with
ORAS had catching the multiple Legendaries and with the Battle resort trainers who help you train up teams to play with (not my best example)
Catching legends you won’t use
Is
Not
Content
Grinding that is faster than the other grinding in the game
Is
Not
Content
XY and ORAS were not enhanced versions
Before someone complians about she didn’t say BW. I also didn’t realize she wasn’t adding them to the list of zero post game content
So I’m thinking we’ll get a trailer either tonight or tomorrow. The Team Rocket event thing Masuda has been tweeting about is set for tomorrow so it makes sense for them to reveal Rainbow Rocket in the next or so. I suppose it depends on when the event opens. if it opens in the morning we may get something tonight as that would line up with Japan’s morning. If in the evening then tomorrow morning for us.
Yay more USUM news
I honestly don’t see any problem with it being Rocket (as Bulbapedia confirms they have legit set up bases in every single regions game excluding Kalos so far)
So yeah I decided
Officially ghosting and skedaddling until a trailer drops
The negativity is waaaaay too much for me
Aww then see you my friend 🙁
I shall sit during lunch alone now (literally most of my lunch periods I come here because I have no friends there that day or the one person my friends are friends with, but I hate is there and I just stay silent)
;~; (insert hug here)
I hope things get better!
They will, I’ll eventually just bring my DS and Play Silver the whole time for thr rest of the Year
Same here, I only have like 1 or 2 friends at my table, but I can barely relate with them
I’m sorry for being a negative nancy :[
But yeah, hope that when a trailer drops it gets me excited like the Retcon one or the Necrozma one did :0
You’re entitled to an opinion seraph. Don’t let negativity get to you. People can express discontent but don’t let that stop you from saying anything.
That reboot lockstin was rambling about can happen at any time now
I can’t believe how excited I’ve become for these games since their initial reveal. It’s amazing how much info we’ve gotten for them over the past 2 months. I wonder if they knew that they’d get a bad reception right off the bat and then opinions would change
It’s crazy to think that we are almost in November. Surprised to see Team Rocket back. Can’t think of a reason why they’d be back so it should be pretty cool
Im starting to get inclined to consider the possibility that we’re going to travel through alola just like sumo… and in the post game we’re going to travel through a wornwhole to kanto….
I don’t know about the 8 badges travel… but i can see us having to beat team rocket in some kanto plot thing…
I’m honestly tired of this all
I’m tired of USUM
I’m tired of the negativity
I’m tired of the positivity
I hate these games for what it’s doing to me and the fan base.
I’ve never felt this way towards a game and I hate it.
I want it to come out so we can stop talking about it. Every single peice of news just causes more of a split and it’s ridiculous.
These 6 months of marketing started off with the worst way possible barely explaining what it is and leaving everyone disappointed. Calling it an alternate story instead of a third version, by clairifying what “new Pokémon” means, and showing it after a Switch Pokémon game and letting us all down by putting it on the 3DS
So much basic info about the game took months to be explained
I’m tired of this. F*ck these games and their marketing. They will probably be fine, but they’ve caused me to be pissed at not just Game Freak but my friends on this site. I’m tired of it all.
don’t worry you’ll be fine there’s only a few weeks now. Who knows the games might make up for the strange marketing we’ve seen!
I wonder whose in charge of Rainbow Rocket? Giovanni still…or some one else? As far as news goes I’m kinda *meh*? on this one.
Gender fluid Jessie
Would be nice for her and james to make a cameo again. As for her being the new leader i could see that. After all her mother was a high ranking member second only to Giovanni right?
According to the leaks it would be Giovanni though that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, but eh.
Am I the only one who feels everyone’s at each other’s throats here? That’s including me too, btw
I just got here
I’m sick of it all
Maybe you should take a break then
Yeah I’ve been popping in in out since BW and it has increasingly become a place of negativity. The tact is really going down the drain
I never really thought you can outgrow Pokemon, but this site makes me think that some people have outgrown it. There isn’t anything wronf with this site, I think it’s just an overcharge of emotions
Yes and although we all play a part there are certain individuals who play a major role in creating these environments. No need to mention names.
I feel I have been brought to the stand… I feel, I should hold a lot of blame in this.
I admit I have instigated people with my sometimes poorly worded or just plain hateful comments on this topic 🙁
I’m sorry to all whom I have fought with and or hurt these past few weeks 🙁
I just find it odd that I’m one of the few people arguing so much over USUM…
Maybe I’m just losing my touch
I’ve barely been arguing, and I still feel angry
What exactly is there to argue about? Think of it like this. They say it’s supposed to be very enhanced versions of sun and moon. We’ve seen a little bit but not everything. There could be more content than anyone here thinks we just don’t know it yet
Zactly (granted I’m too busy to get into the heavy stuff ATM)
I’m just gonna wait to play the game THEN rail it for the parts that didn’t meet expectations
I mean I’ve been pessimistic because I got bored with sun and moon and I hate Z moves so much. If the story is longer then I’ll be playing for a while. Some of the new areas like the UBs homes or whatever look pretty cool. If anything else just remember there are other arguably more exciting games coming
I think everyone has just set their expectations way too high given the amount of info we have received in the past with XY/ORAS/SM. TBH getting mad over something as small as a video game and its “lack of post game content” is rather ridiculous when theres still new information being revealed. Maybe GF realized their marketing mistakes for SM and not releasing everything at one time. Fans have just becoming spoiled and set themselves up for failure when old features arent in games no more
No matter how you slice it content is getting out. There is no demo but there will be big data dumps before launch I am almost certain
you’ll be ok fam
I think you’ve had a few tough days judging by recent posts
just wait till a trailer drops and I bet you’ll be back to your “Conkeldurr stance: 😛
I’m leaving. Don’t know when I’ll be back, maybe when there is a new trailer but I’m just not going to ever be excited for USUM. Don’t even know if I’m getting it. I just have too many bad memories associated with it at this point and I have a list of games I’d rather play
I’m more unhappy than I’ve ever been and coming here to be repeatedly frustrated at USUM isn’t helping. I’m not even the same person anymore. And I hate that. I’m just that angry girl now. No ones going to say it. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll be back eventually
I’ll probably still be here whenever you come back. Just take the time to clear your head.
I’m sorry you feel that way. Hopefully with a little time away you can recharge your batteries and feel better.
I don’t get why dislike of a game is making you crazy and want to leave. Since when is pokemon the only thing people talk about here? Other than USUM there’s no reason to leave.
Pokémon isn’t the only thing making me depressed dude. I have a life and it’s slow, tedious and frustrating.
Pokémon is something that has always kept me going and now even that is making me angry now.
I don’t need it in my life if im just going to feel bad. I don’t need to be here if im going to take it out on others
I don’t see how disliking USUM is taking anger and depression out on others. There’s nothing wrong with not being excited. Don’t make yourself crazy over these games it’s really not worth it
Also idk why Alex deleted his post but I cut and pasted my reply:
Well then shame on those people. It’s better to ignore because apparently if you aren’t excited you aren’t a true fan. Just avoid the negativity and in that case avoid Joe Merricks twitter cuz all you’ll get is negativity towards those who are not hyped
Easier said than done. It’s like trying to avoid politics, they’re everywhere
It’s impossible to avoid politics. It’s literally part of everything in everyday life tbh. They can also be fun at times lol
Not when you don’t like the current president. But, I’m getting off topic, it’s not impossible to avoid “negative” opinions, but it’s extremely hard.
Nothing about US politics is fun. Especially when the current administration is quietly phasing out any mention of LGBTQ+ and the president is joking that the Vice President wants to hang me and people like me.
I meant fun as in laughable. The mans a moron. Doesn’t know what he’s doing at all. And the VP is even worse
It’s not that simple. If it was that easy I wouldn’t be making this post.
People here are either excited or cynical and no one is going to change their mind. The negativity will get to me. And it does. Because human beings aren’t robots who can just filter the bad stuff. Especially when I’m in such an unhappy spot and I’m not all mentally there so I’m going to get mad at people. Im going to scream and yell and cause arguments. No one needs that.
I’m sorry you feel this way! Pokemon and especially Pokejungle (even if I’m little more than a lurker) has always been my safe space that I escape to when things in real life get too hard. I’m super excited for USUM but everyone doesn’t need to be. They might meet my expectations or even exceed them, or they might disappoint. I’m not thinking about that now. But it’s equally okay to feel uninterested, which is honestly largely what I felt for XY. Remember, no matter what you’re going through, it’s all a phase and will end eventually only to move onto the next phase, as long as you keep moving forward. That’s what I tell myself when things get too hard to deal with. 🙂 Anyways, coming from a longtime lurker, I’ll miss your sardonic humor and ranting. Hope you feel better soon!
Actually, I might just be taking a break too. I don’t really come here as often, and I think I just wanna focus on other things. I know what I just said to Star, but that’s just how I am. This isn’t definite though, so whatever. If I do leave, then I’ll see you in probably a week or something
I’m not leaving, but I don’t know how often I’ll come here if so many people are
I’ll be here almost hourly (save the fact I have school) and so refuse to leave… I have nothing else to do in life
Well I guess I will be the odd one out and not join the bandwagon that is leaving Pokejungle for a short break. I can see where Star and others are coming from in saying about how some of us will be positive or negative regardless of these games regardless of what info comes out. With me belonging to the former party. If the environment on here is becoming toxic and detrimental to some individuals then it would probably be for the best for a break to be taken. At some points in our lives it is important to take a look atourselves and ask if what we are doing or who we are is congruent with the ideal selves that we want to become. I did not expect for the prerelease season to be as controversial as it has become. Nevertheless, for those who feel it is necessary to take a break from Pokejungle and maybe even Pokémon, whether it is temporary or permanent; I wish them the best of luck in their pursuit of happiness.
I’ll still be here but I’m glad some are taking a breal hopefully they’ll be back fresh ✌
Don’t worry I’m not leaving either (I literally do nothing else some days, but come here because got nothing I’d rather do then see y’all)
But I do feel sorry as I feel I caused much drama and agony in some of these aggressive arguments we have had, and I feel responsible for driving Star away (even though I really like her… In the friends type of way, not the other way). So I can’t recall, but I want to apologize to you in case I ever did fight with you
No worries. I never felt offended nor do I remember having a fight with you. I also share in your sentiments about possibly driving people away. There were times when I would make comments that I thought would lighten the mood but in retrospect they may have been too juvenile in terms of humor. Aside from SM, this is the only prerelease season that I have been through on this site as an active participant. Thus, I did not expect for some people to have left due to the environment created by the discussions of USUM. I feel the same way about Star and the others, but I think at this point it is important for some people to get a break. It might be the breath of fresh air that they needed.
Yeah I hope that they come back fresh and happy some time down the road
This video by Nintendo UK was posted on a rumor thread. Supposedly they explicitly says that there will be new Pokémon in USUM. I can’t watch it right now so I am posting it to ask if someone could confirm this for me. I don’t know when they say it in the video but it is less than 4 minutes long so it shouldn’t take that long to watch.
https://youtu.be/b7RxGaNZu7U
Thus, please let me know if they said anything new and if they do confirm the presence of new Pokémon in USUM and what they mean new Pokémon (do they mean Alola forms, UB, or maybe an actual new Pokémon).
The USUM wishlist also says “new Pokemon” but I always assumed it just meant new to alola
Maybe
Yes, but I’m wondering in what context they said new Pokémon, I can’t watch this video now without wasting loads of data. Thus, I am asking someone to do me a solid and le that me know of anything peculiar in this video.
UB’s
Well yeah, but they listed the. Ew UBs as well to it’d be a separate thing
Imo he meant realy new pokemon cause, always imo, there’ll be at least one new mythical
I guess we shall see. This time around it feels like they’ve held onto a crap ton of info to reveal just before the release.
The wishlist was before the UBs were announced right? It could just refer to them because like it or not they are new Pokemon, people.
1st question: are there any new forms of PKMN in this adventure ans are there any entirely new pkmn?
-New Necrozma forms
– New UBs (more than Burst/Assembly/Adhesive but can’t talk about them currently)
2nd question: Returns of legemdaries?
– Riding Solgaleo/Lunala on the Ultra Warp Ride
– Meet new pokemon and among them is Mewtwo
3rd question: how many pkmn featured in the game
– More additions on top of whats in SM
– Over 400 types (some you can find using the Warp Hole feature)
Thanks!!
And also:
What’s your favourite Sun/Moon Pokemon?
Shigeru Ohmori: Rockruff (he has a dog at home and he mentioned LycanDusk and its Z-move)
Kazumasa Iwao: Togedemaru (he mentions that in USUM there are some new scenes with Togedemaru)
I see that they are pandering to their favorite Pokémon.
I still hope Toge gets the Z-Move so it’s worth using, but ”New Scenes” sounds more like Totem cutscenes
No probs! It was a pain to do since my phone runs on Sprint 3G while at work ?
Sorry about that. I’m still very grateful.
don’t worry bout it! I was bored at work
I’m confused am I supposed to know what rainbow rocket is
Rainbow Rocket was hinted by USUM wishlist back in March and less than a month ago it has become public knowledge to the western world that the Chinese Riddler compiled rumors that explicitly backed up the existence of Rainbow Rocket.
Oh I thought maybe the code name of Pokémon rainbow. More meaningless rumors online that people are quick to hype. Even if the stuff rumors say is true, so what? In that case they had to have some connection but you wouldn’t know that till confirmed. They mean nothing lol. Meant for entertainment
Just a new version of Team Rocket in Alola for some reason.
Welp. People are leaving. People are fighting. I’ll prolly still drop in out of here like usual, and i hope this place returns to normal and everyone is bqck soon.
Me too with the hoping it will be normal again. Too much negativity in the fandom
Also I haven’t really seen anyone talk about this but if the retail display is showing actual game content then UB-Adhesive (Sticky) is probably not evolving since it was shown in battle at Lv. 50. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/65032bad61263f9a7a20edd17727de0906363d71b23d276af98da15f54839eaa.png Or it evolved at a very late level like a number of 5th Gen Pokémon or by another method. It is also shown that later on in the games the URS will have more than one Pokémon in their teams.
Unless it’s like Deino.
It’d Kinda make sense, UBs are powerful mons just like Deino’s a Pseudo Legends
I mean 3 UB’s are Legends, technically, they just don’t have codenames
Of course it isn’t going to evolve, anybody that thought it was going to was a moron.
I just want the switch game
In regards to the video posted below by Sunny they’re basically confirming a Z-move for Togedemaru
¡Gracias!
Wait with that, It’s actually more likely that Toge is the new Electric Totem, even tho I’d prefer it to get a Z-Move
Either way I hope that the Electric Totem is more threatening this time. I actually struggled a lot with my team but they were weak to that Trial.
what?… is it me or did you make a mistake there
Yes I meant to say “because” instead of “but”.
My team had ZERO problems with any of the totems (except Wishiwashi)
I had few troubles with Mimikyu
None others though (Lurantis didn’t summon Castform and Wishiwashi didn’t summon Alomoloa)
Lol i blasted through Wishiwashi, even in my first playthrough. Mimikyu and Lurantis proved rather annoying for me, but maybe my team selection wasnt that good.
I was really anxious about that Totem considering it’s BST and that it got a Defense boost. However, Crabrawler’s All-Out Pummeling one-shotted it. Quite anti-climatic.
I like vikavolt as the totem, the problem is that the trial itself was so lazy
I beat it easily with my Golisopod mainly, who was underleveled.
I think my team was Primarina, Araquanid, Crabrawler, and Salazzle. I used a Fire type Z-move with Salazzle, not realizing that the Totem Vikavolt was holding an Occa berry. Thus, that trial nearly screwed me over since I was at a significant type disadvantage when Salazzle was rendered obsolete.
I still hope Vikabot is the totem
Not really though people have long speculated that it will get one.
Okay Nintendo needs to stop this. They are attacking my wallet way too much. I am currently paying off a switch with BOTW that is on layaway right now. I fully payed off mario odyssey already and there are like 5 more switch games I want. Now they keep making me want USUM more and more. Not to mention the mario and Luigi remake. Nintendo please give my wallet a break ?
Just rob your gamestop
I know you are joking but that so wouldn’t work out for me ? the workers would recognize my voice since I come in there ALOT ?
Same I went their to but stuff once or twice a week till I ran low on funds
Get a job hippie
I have a job though ? a boring one but still a job lol
Gaming is an expensive hobby
So true. Especially when you have college loans to pay off too lol
Ugh I can definitely relate on that one
Nintendo has never been better than how they are (and have been) in 2017. I think we can all agree. USUM is like a gift on top of that.
Agreed with you 100 percent and as a huge Nintendo fan it makes me so happy to see them doing so great this year. After the issues with the Wii U it seems that Nintendo is getting back on track with the switch. Hope they keep it up! I think they will with all the games they have under their belt. Metroid prime 4 and Pokémon switch are confirmed. That isn’t even counting the possibilities of smash for switch and animal crossing either! Which let’s be honest both will happen eventually
Im kind of curious as to how the ultra beasts actually exist within their own worlds because they appear to be the only creatures there. What do they eat? Are they cannibalistic? If they don’t eat then why can you feed them pokebeans? I imagine some of them eat natural elements of their world like xurkitree could just eat electricity as its source of nutrition, but surely not Buzzwole.
Maybe their prey isn’t mentioned. Like how did Girtina eat in the distortion world? I mean there’s no life that lives there except it and a small handful of people who went there temporarily
Eh I mean for Giratina, palkia, dialga, and arceus, I kinda see them as being above the necessity of food. They’re living embodiments of time and space and such. Giratina could always just poof out of the distortion world and snatch some children or something anyway lol
True, I do wonder though if Girtina was locked in permanently (like a genie in a bottle till someone opens it) or if its more like it can escape, but it can only be out a short time before being sucked back until a seal is broken
I have long thought this over
Buzzwole are definitely cannibastic I theorize that Buzzwole’s food chain is purely who can drain the other first
Pheramosa probably has a type of mold or vegetation in their desert world
Kartana and Celesteela probably do not to eat or they consist solely on plant nutrition
Xurkitree only needs electricity
And Guzzlord Ive theorized its realm is nothing more then a dark void asteroid belt since Guzzlord can eat away their home so all remains are the bits and pieces of a devoured rock
Isn’t it interesting that we haven’t even been shown the world that Guzzlord inhabits in any of the recent trailers.
Maybe an asteroid type workd that’s been ravaged by his eating
Weird that we had like the same idea for guzzlord lol.
In case you weren’t aware, NeoGAF has been through a sort of…cleansing recently, and as a result lots of people are requesting to be banned and other crazy stuff. This one guy, however, claims to have had shared insider knowledge in the past and is now purging all of his information before (likely) leaving for good. Of course, there isn’t much of a reason to give this credibility but it is something to consider:
-A sequel to a 3DS game is coming to Switch. Remember what was said about new character inclusion for Smash.
-Netflix (but not Hulu) are coming Q1. Announcement will be tied with a Netflix-produced show.
-Themes will arrive with a Dec. 25 update. Free if you own the game or amiibo.
-Metroid Prime 4 will have a subtitle that people know, Q4 at the earliest. First footage in January Direct.
-Little Mac was almost in ARMS. There’s a reason he’s not.
-A new spinoff is coming exclusively to the eShop using assets from a game already released
I am not aware. Why are people requesting for themselves to be banned, or did I read it wrong?
No, you read it right. The owner of the site is facing sexual harassment allegations (which he denies) and everyone is really pissed off about it for some reason. I think these people are WAY out of line myself…taking it too personally and imploding the site on their own volition. But it’s just a phase, better people will come through.
That’s terrible >:(
I hope better people come through instead of hating on PJ (PJ deserves 0 hate here and should be treated with respect)
This is about NeoGAF, not PokeJungle! But it’s true, I have seen people outside of here give PJ a bad rep for no reason at all.
Oh… oops
But still I hate bigoted people who hate on LGBT+ people just based on that (There’s far worse things to be then Gay)
I have seen the hate pj gets too. I don’t know get it. A lot of people hate that he discusses rumors but that’s the main reason I come to this site. It’s much more welcoming than say serebii
Sometimes it’s the other way around because of the time last year when PJ was so certain about the starter evolution leak (just as I was), and Serebii flat-out denied it.
I still can’t believe how early the evos leaked out. After that I don’t think I will ever outright say a leak is fake again. I still wonder who leaked them out so early. That said I have seen the hate serebii gets as well.
I’m kinda curious as to what 3ds game that is, I can’t think any atm hmm
Kid Icarus immediately came to my mind. Could also be Triforce Heroes, Luigi’s Mansion, Codename STEAM, etc.
Soooo we may be getting a Netflix Produced Nintendo show?… OMGOMGOMG
the sequel game is and this will shock you but the sequel might not be directly from the 3ds just saying ik a few things most likely a bravely default switch game or a fates release but im telling you here and now GS thats all im gunna reply is a simple GS also metroid prime 4 release date september 2018 New smash game on switch is not wrong but not right either just go ahead do yourself a favour look into those games youll thank me later and i hope you figure out what GS is because it all starts with GS GS GS GS
Sounds like bs especially considering the state that NeoGAF is in right now where it is a lawless anything goes wasteland.
So it’s that time again Earthen’s attempt to make a fake on BST

Ok guys help me my friend (you all know Sweet Tooth right?) he got his own disqus without using my extra account and now he can’t post without a verification code that won’t go through to his G-mail… Any reason why it won’t go through so I can help him out and can finally get on here?
Please people help he’s driving me crazy! He keeps sending verification emails, but they don’t ever show up
Has he checked the spam folder?
I just found it thank you he found it!
I just realized that the 3DS has existed through three Nintendo home console generations: 2010-2011, the end of the Wii, all of Wii U until 2017, and now Switch (for at least a year or two). It’s time for something new.
The 3ds was such a great system. I agree though although it will be kind of sad retiring my new 3ds xl eventually. Have played so many great games on it. It’s odd to think at the same time that the ds line overall is most likely ending soon. 2004-2017 at least and probably some of 2018
I think the New 2DS XL shows that they’re not done with their handheld lines. In fact, I expect them to reveal an entirely new generation of handheld in 2019, 2020 or 2021 with exclusive games that go in tandem with the Switch. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think Nintendo will want another source of revenue besides the Classic line and the Switch when the 3DS officially kicks the bucket. I mean, we all thought the DS could go on forever as well didn’t we?
It’s a possibility for sure. I kind of wonder if they introduce a completely portable Nintendo Switch. Not sure what they would call it but it could be priced at around 199.99 or so and maybe play most of the switch games if not all. Just unable to be hooked up to the tv is all.
I doubt it because they strictly market the Switch as a home console you can take on the go. If you make it a portable home console it’s not the same and wouldn’t be the Switch. But if they were to replace the 3DS with a portable that can play games in 1080p then it would be a technically better experience than the Switch’s portable experience AND be dedicated and different.
We will have to wait and see I guess. Either way Nintendo is getting more of my money most likely lol
posted this in a reply but look into the meaning behind GS you might be suprised and no its not pokemon related but look for a nintendo game with GS youll get a lot of info about nintendo from that
Yay! I guess Kurusu spoiled the surprise, but I got my account now! Sorry to see all these people go though 🙁
But I’ll be joining more frequently now at least so that’s one thing to hopefully brighten your moods
Who left and why are people leaving? Also welcome to the jungle Sweet Tooth!
Well StarStorm, Seraph and Alex have a confirmed they are leaving till further notice.
And I think a few others might have left
Alex left? No he was my Persona 5 dude.
Yeah he and Seraph have left till another trailer and possibly after. I surely will miss them
USUM has created a controversial environment for some that was perpetuating a negative attitude in their personal lives or had a negative effect on them. Thus, to mitigate this, some people decided to take a break.
I see… well what ever helps them cope or what not. I’m sure they’ll be back after the games release if not sooner.
The negativity was becoming too much I’m glad certain people left we can do without that.
Hopefully the break will do them good once they’ve returned.
Oh don’t worry it will be for the best :]
Most of us are still here
True! Kurusu gave me a few names and star’s was among them. from what i can tell she’s been kinda on the edge lately and perhaps this break will do her some good.
Sweet victory! Rejoice, my brethren, in the presence of our new vivacious guest!
Welcomeee!
Are you an old jungler returning or a new one??
Technically new.
For a while I ghosted and used my friend Kurusu’s secondary account (We are friends irl)
But this is my own full fledged account I made
Do you really have a sweet tooth or is that a lie in order to make yourself more interesting? (Squints eyes).
I do love sweet foods they are my favorite
Well this could be interesting, I wonder if they’ll be woven into the plot or part of the post-game.
Also I saw Thor Ragnarok today, ’twas great.
I gotta wait till next friday :/ Im excited though! It’s getting great reviews
It’ll be worth the wait. Also make sure to stay for both Post-credits scenes.
There are two?
Yes, one after the first credits bit that usually has art/whatever then one after the black background rolling credits, they have been doing this for Marvel movies for a while now.
I know, I am just making sure since GOTGV2 had like 5 ending credit scenes.
That was special. Pretty much just stay until the end and the cleaner hits you with a mop until you have to leave.
Well of course 😉
Post game.
I had assumed it probably would be since we have enough teams for the main story, hopefully it’s worthwhile.
Yeah well I mean URS is literally just 4 (2 per game) people but yeah. 3 teams is kind of a bit much.
URS probably has more people. And who knows, maybe they aren’t evil.
I don’t think so. The name squad implies a smaller group. And eh I think they will be anti-hero-ish.
I hope they have Giovanni dressed in a bright orange suit https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e77b887a0277b73deb1c9ba8a0a8f775c461f20a7e5b93f8102859897a3387c1.png
Bright orange speedos because Alola.
Rainbow Rocket

Gamefreak can be so insensitive at times. We are defined by more than our colors-that includes evil team leaders whose goals range from disruption of the status quo to world domination/destruction. Don’t they consider the feelings of those team leaders. For shame! Gamefreak.
????
Some of these are stretched (Guzma, Cyrus, URS)
I guess my post didn’t go through? I still can’t believe that Rainbow Rocket is actually real that was like the most stupid bs fake thing I had ever heard, not that I am upset that it is real, I am just like… wow. These games have so much going on in them like I don’t even.
And there may be even more!
What do you mean?
Apparently other evil teams may also return though that’s just a rumour atm!
Hm… I am skeptical even though Rainbow Rocket is real.
Me too but there’s a strong chance with this being the finale 3ds game they literally are throwing all their cards into this one.
It honestly would not surprise me if all the evil teams have a role in say post game.
*shrug* I doubt it but I wouldn’t care too much. I don’t really like Aqua/Magma and they just had a game focusing on them so meh, same could be said for Flare though I dislike them less than Aqua/Magma.
Yeah it completely took me by suprise as well. When the rumors were talking about Rainbow Rocket i was like *yeah right*? now I don’t know what to believe , but at any rate these games are gearing up to be something special!
They are truly what SM should have been.
I’ll admit it does sound a little fan fictiony. That said it could be one of the coolest things they’ve done so well have to see what they have planned. I’m just interested to see all the characters from older games in their new 3d model forms. I wonder if they have slight redesigns to match the new game
We don’t know who is returning though. I mean the grunts are just generic grunts so eh.
Well the rumor Ray’s that the old leaders are gonna return too. So maybe they’ll have some slightly new designs to match their reappearances
Leaders of what? Gyms? Or TR? Because I can’t see Giovanni coming back.
Leaders like from other teams. The hot theory is that Giovanni has gathered all the other team leaders. Which in a small sense makes some sense? Apparently they consider these games the culmination of everything they’ve worked on up til now. So one final hurrah with all the bad guys on a handheld could be their thought process
Oh you are talking about the rumour Fedex mentioned. Yeah I don’t see Giovanni coming back and I just don’t see why other team leaders would work under Giovanni.
Why would TR come back in general? There’s a lot of things that don’t make sense hahaha
Not the first time Team Rocket has come back. It being based on rainbows to fit Alola is also a cute little thing. It is less odd than Giovanni coming back after explicitly saying he will not come back when Neo Team Rocket was doing its bs. And even if he did come back now that he is extremely old, there is no way other leaders who were in charge of their respective groups would fall in line with Giovanni’s schemes. They would do their own thing if anything. I don’t see that happening either. I think it will just be Rainbow Rocket with its set of grunts and a new leader, maybe some admins but eh maybe not.
How does it make sense that yet another small faction of TR would show up like 20 years later? It made sense for them to appear again after getting beaten by red, but this time what would yet another faction of them want to achieve. TR isn’t really TR without Giovanni. That’s why they failed so badly in Johto. They didn’t have their leader. And yes yes I know technically they failed in Kanto too, but even still they were only able to have solid goals thanks to their boss. What motivation 20 years later would brand new members have. I can’t see them introducing yet another brand new leader for TR this far in the general story.
Maybe there are people in Alola who idolize Team Rocket and after learning about Necrozma and Team Skull/Aether Foundation/Ultra Recon Squad’s failure they want to have a go at it. I don’t see a 50-70 year old Giovanni leading an evil team in a region that is a day or so travel away from his home.
I guess we’ll find out relatively soon. Hard to say at this point
Gotta give gamefreak some credit for really adding to the story. Just wish it had been done this way for sun and moon because the third versions always make the originals obsolete
Not sure how big is “big” and when it’s coming, but Paul Ryan hasn’t disappointed yet in this pre-release season.
https://twitter.com/PokeshopperVGC/status/922919079538696192
Yeah should be interesting to see what it is. Paul Ryan seems really well informmed so no need to question whether he’s over hyping stuff or not
Is the news big or is the figurine big?
Size accurate Alolan Exeggutor Figurine
Hrm… when is this news coming?
Big…figurine news?
Pokémon figurines.
Does that mean that the figurines that they’re showing are big in size?
So instead of visiting Kanto ….making Kanto visiting u kinda clever GF
Returns home to see that you are done moving in and the boxes are nowhere to be seen.
You: “Mom when did we finish unpacking?”
Turns around to see the Kanto Gym Leaders moving the boxes.
Turns out your home is another battle facility.
Well our character (at least in SM) was from Kanto so heh.
I decided to write down every location (including routes) from my fakemon region. I could post some of them if you guys would like to see them.
By write down, I mean all catchable mons there, items, trainers etc
Yes I would love to hear them
Micheal Bay is making a Live Action Dora the Explorer Movie. Like What the actual f*ck, this sounds like a CollegeHumor video from 2012. Actually, in 2012, CollegeHumor made this:

This caused me physical pain
Yeah, I saw this last night. Absolutely NOT OKAY!
*Spurts blood from every available orifice*
… My life is a lie and this just killed whatever mood I had
…You’re kidding right?
We have our 2nd loser. Faba. He threw a rowlet so it makes sense why is just trash. Surprised he wasn’t first!

Idk why, but I thought the Animal Crossing direct was tomorrow. I guess maybe that’s because I care a lot less about Animal Crossing. It’s one of those games I play for a short while and then get really REALLY bored with only to never tough again……..
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3663ca7266532211047cb09d8fc42f4c56dc958241629e67f70cd7f7e8be3ea9.jpg
Oh my god, what am I doing with my life? This is like the 3rd time I’ve watched this
Also, I need someone to draw a picture of Gabite in All Might’s clothes (they’re both voiced by Kenta Miyake). I would kill to see that happen
What isss that??
It’s the Japanese version of the Explorers of Time and Darkness special
Wait Alex you are still here. 😮
Hey
Hi.
(Stolen from a YT comment)
Rainbow Rocket
Kanto Team Rocket HQ is in Celadon
Celadon city Gym Leader us Erika
Erika has two Grass/Poison mons and gives you the Rainbow Badge
Erika leader of Team Rocket confirmed?
I’ve heard enough burn them all!
No.
Ahhh enjoying the peace.
No negativity anywhere I look. You could say the sky is starless..LOL
Bit quiet though like the quiet before the storm we’re all waiting for GF to drop a trailer and then it begins!
Honestly though it’s complete crap that gamefreak can’t…
Hehe 😉
Well you got me there :]
Wanted to ask you I’ve never read Goblet but apparently they changed the scene for the first task of the Tri wizard tournament.
Which one did you prefer the book or movie version?
The movie vers. seems more dramatic and was quite the scene!
Hm. Yeah the Hungarian Horntail doesn’t break free in the book and chase Harry around the school. I do like that, but I don’t like that the dragon just dies. Seems a bit harsh on the dragon
I already miss Star, I know it wasn’t good for Star but I didn’t realized how much I enjoyed the fact that there was someone so vociferous in their opposition of the upcoming games. It was like Star was the Earthen in this pre-release cycle. In all seriousness, I do hope that Star feels better after this break and that Earthen will get a break in life so he can pick up his role of delivering the daily tirade on Pokejungle that has been absent for this pre-release cycle.
I’m sure she’ll be back to debut her Halloween art seeing as she’s been working so hard on it.
She’s really cool deep down and I want her back once she’s feeling better.
But I have to be honest she was getting out of hand.
Maybe this break and USUM will do some good for her and she’ll come back shining like a real star!
Why was she getting so upset?
I think it’s just one of them phases in life. Maybe general things like school and just life was stacking up on her.
I don’t know her too well so giving her benefit of the doubt that’s what I would say.
I too often wondered why she would always get upset.
Cause getting upset over a video game seems pretty dumb
True. Whilst we’re all passionate one shouldn’t get so crazy and mad over every little thing at every opportunity!
Anyways that’s how the cookie crumbled around here!
Especially with people you dont know from a hole in the wall. Rage-quitting and being triggered by other peoples opinions online is pointless
Exactly. Being unhappy and complaining all the time brings everyone elses mood down spoiling the best part of the game as in the pre release hype season.
I dont see why people are complaining tbh we dont even know if Rainbow Rocket and the URS are post game content or if theyre integrated into the main story? For all we know GF could be keeping the post game content underwraps
I think it was all the stress in her life (Including its gotta be pretty hard being trans, without anymore stress on top of it)
I sympathise for her and hope she gets in a better state of no d so she can rebecome the happy Star I’ve seen
While I can’t speak on her behalf, I think it’s more like this isn’t quite the direction that she wants pokemon to go, which I totally understand. Her and I usually agree on things like 90% of the time. Now I am definitely anticipating USUM at the current moment, but that’s not to say I don’t have similar reservations about the game/s. I hope that the Switch version can be a fresh start for the series, and perhaps for Star and I’s expectations, and anyone else who might feel similarly.
That’s fine whether he likes the game or not but it’s the attitude that star has adopted causing several fights, imposing himself on others and using the “I’ve been here for many years and im liked” card to get away with this behaviour.
Unfortunately many people started to see through it.
Lets hope this break benefits star.
I for one shall distance myself from these issues in future.
What happened to Earthen and Star?
Earthen is ok.
Star has decided to take a break to cool down she said she’ll be back!
Oh ok. I hope she feels alright.
Earthen has been pretty chill lately, I’m happy he’s found a way to be somewhat happier than usual
Earthen is just busy. Everything is cool for him. USUM had became something negative for Star, so she is taking a break from this site.
Me too, I think her, Seraph, Alex and Earthen kinda made up the base of this site (They are I think the most constant here)
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0a94f1deab5d72ba870b366aac54c997b033e43f8b63ed260b99088d09200ba5.jpg but all jokes aside when do you think they’ll drop the final trailer? Im thinking around the end of this week.
Tbh I’m thinking the same. The wait and suspense is killing me!
I really want to know how this new team rocket fits into the story. Is it November 17 yet?
Lemme check. Nope you’ll have to wait a little longer 😛
You wanna know what’s killing me?
What?
The rumours about the other past teams reappearing from alternate universes as successfully completing their goals.
If that is true then I wonder what crazy plot main and post game they’ve got for us.
And then that raises my hopes for not one but several alolan forms!
But my only thing is even if the achieved their goals why would the ever work for team rocket?the only ones I could see under RR’s control voluntarily are maybe team Aqua and magma. Only time will tell!
That’s the part that is killing me soo many unanswered questions reminds me when the frozen unova map had us on the edge of our seats.
We’re just waiting, just waiting for one damn trailer now haha :]
Welp just landed back at my home state for my second Medical School Interview that is tomorrow. I feel confident right now but I’m sure that the nerves will creep up on me by tomorrow morning.
Nerves are what makes it worthwhile. That’s the fun part!
Not when your future depends on it and when this school is the one most likely to accept you according to statistics. I don’t want to be the odd 25% that is rejected after this point.
True but because you are nervous that means that YOU realise it’s importance and that will push you forward!
Don’t they say..when the going gets tough, the tough gets…going!
And always remember if it’s meant to be then no one can stop you!
Wait, WAAAAAAAT?
So, there’s Skull, Ultra Recon Squad, AF, AND this Rainbow team?!
(And why they lowkey look like Rocket grunts…)
I think they’re… Alolan Team Rocket! XD
I can totally see the grunts saying that…”we’re back, we’re the new and improved Alolan team rocket”!
So the big figurine news that Paul Ryan said was coming…was of Ash Ketchum and Serena…yea…this man really likes his merchandise.
ohh I expected more oh well 🙂
I mean his first and foremost interest is in merch. Not every “BIG THING” is gonna be USUM news. His job involves merchandise not the spreading of game info. It’s just that sometimes this stuff intersects. I feel like people need to stop looking to him for every leak and tiny bit of news. When he thinks it’s game related he typically says so. Otherwise you’re only tricking yourself.
Uh… well I mean that is kind of… big? She is the true canon love interest for Ash after all. He was reliable up until this.
2 hours until Animal Crossing! Pray for even the slightest acknowledgement of future Animal Crossing games…but I’ll be fine with just the mobile game.
They stick to their word when they say X Direct will not feature Y thing. So don’t count on it. It will just be the mobile game. You and others looking for AC Switch need to keep waiting. It will happen just a matter of time, and that time isn’t now.
Didnt they say something along those lines at E3 but still were like, “we’re also working on a pokemon title for switch. Stay tuned for more information”
And Metroid Prime 4. But eh… Still.
I never said that, the absolute most I’m expecting is the words “this application will feature compatibility with Animal Crossing on consoles” and leave it at that. Because we all know that it WILL have compatibility, the question is whether they tell us that fact now or later.
Why are you so certain it will have compatibility. Does Mario Run have compatibility with SMO?
So why are people so surprised that Giovanni could come back in USUM? He literally said in the HGSS flashback that he wanted to build a stronger team and eventually return better than ever. IF Rainbow Rocket isn’t that then idk what is. I feel like I’ve seen people saying that he went off and said he’d never return……
My copy of Odyssey is likely going to ship sometime tomorrow, maybe in the early morning. I honestly can’t believe it’s here…the future of Mario is NOW?!? It’s going to be one more notch in Nintendo history, just like Breath of the Wild! Now don’t even get me started on Stranger Things, that’s a whole different beast. It’s going to be one hell of a weekend.
It’s amazing. Trust me. It’s so amazing.
I know that I had no responsibility in anything of what happened, but I’m sorry about all the commotion that these games have stirred among this website. I haven’t been around too much recently on this site, but it sucks to see people taking a hiatus due to conflicting opinions. Y’all are pretty great people, and it just is bittersweet to see this.
BTW I’m not angry with anyone, just expressing my opinion on the matter prior.
I had no control over others reactions either and I still feel bad that it escalated to such degree’s
And Idk anyone who could be mad at you, you, UltraMonster and Monkeyfuzz are like the three most likable people here because you express your opinions in a passive way without trying to hurt others opinions in the process.
Well I did it, I have caught all Gen.3 Ghost types in Go
I evolved my Shuppet and it became insanely strong
Yeah I’m trying to find a good duskull to keep for Dusknoir but am not having any luck
Yeah sadly I used a strong Duskull with 147 CP, and it only got to 300 something
But I’m ok because its a good collectors item
Yeah the multiplier for dusclops is not very good x-x
Yeah Gen.3 will probably have some Pokémon that will have erratic changes
I wonder though why everyone thinks Slaking will break the 4000 CP barrier, I mean Mewtwo can’t even get that high and its a Legendary
Yeah but slakings bst is super high so it’s possible. It’ll probably be a tank in gyms at least
Yeah I gotta say it possible, but I think it will be around 3500 something for its highest
And a tank… Completely agree
I think Gen.3’s Top 10 in no order
1. Swampert
2. Sceptile
3. Blaziken
4. Slaking
5. Salamence
6. Metagross
7. Ludicolo (always possible)
8. Gardevoir
9. Hariyama
10. Aggron
I also think Manectric will also be very resourceful
Outside of the awesome legends (excluding the stupid latis) I don’t care for Gen 3 too much. The best pokemon designs are gen 4 and 5 for me. But:
1) Milotic
2) Sharpedo
3) Aggron
4) Flygon
5) Sableye
6) Swampert
7) Blaziken
8) Sceptile
9) Torkoal
10) Kecleon
This order def is not set in stone, but Milotic for sure is my #1 Hoenn mon
Oh I was meaning the strongest Pokémon for Gen.3 Go
My top 10 has to be
1. Glalie
2. Flygon
3. Torkoal
4. Tropius
5. Armaldo
6. Plusle
7. Castform
8. Hariyama
9. Swampert
10. Walrein
Tha’s pretty ghastly my dude
Hmm.
That’s pretty much my reaction to this. I don’t really know what to think, there are so many possibilities with this.
Pros:
– It’s Team freakin’ Rocket! Maybe they have a good motive this time
– It’s possible the story goes deeper than we know now, but this is more than likely just an extra feature I’d assume.
Cons:
– 3 (maybe 4) evil teams– that could get a bit crowded. I worry the story will get too tangled up. Having too many evil teams sounds like something my 7 year old mind would have loved when I was jotting down notes for my own pokemon game, but it’d get cluttered in practice I’m sure
– More Gen 1 stuff, and of course we can never move past that.
Really don’t know how I feel. I’m going to stay cautiously optimistic, but this could really mean anything.
It’s strange because we thought the URS took Aether’s place and now all of a sudden we have Rainbow Rocket claiming Lusamine’s mansion… maybe Skull and Aether are in the background now, with the URS and RR at the forefront.
Whatever the case, Team Rocket in any form is a welcome addition.
I’m inclined to think that maybe the whole RR scene is a post game episode.
It’s possible. Although I hope they actually have some sort of involvement as opposed to just fighting them and doing a small sidequest.
I just like the whole idea of “Rainbow Rocket”: it builds off of the whole prism/light refraction concept of Necrozma as well as ties back to the roots of Gen 7 with Hawaii and its rainbow themes! It really does come together in USUM.
I’m curious as to what their mission in Alola really is. They could pull it off well, but I’m hoping they take the safe route and have it be unconnected to the main Necrozma plotline. Too convoluted, possibly.
I’m just curious as to HOW Team Rocket came into control at the Aether Paradise. I guess since this is an alternate universe or something, they rise to power before Lusamine can?
Could just be a post game thing. Maybe Aether disbanded completely, and now there’s an empty cool floating island thingy to take over.
I’ve been reading in places that apparently Giovanni summons past team leaders from timelines where they achieved their goals. I think that would be insanely cool, but part of me believes if this ends up being true, it will simply be a “battle him, then him, then him” kinda deal. No real tie to the story.
As amazing as breath of the wild is, I really wish there were dual hook shots or something because it takes so long to climb mountains
Yeah. Item and enemy variety is a definition an issue, hopefully they won’t impact how the game is looked back on in the future. The wow factor saved them for the initial run.
I think the next game will do something like Link to the Past which gave him Pegasus Boots to fly across the map. They’ll probably go a bit wild with power-ups instead of the pure nature themes.
Yeah that would be nice. I do hope that whatever comes next the map isn’t quite so big though. I like big open world, but perhaps this particular Hyrule is enough for one lifetime.
10 minutes! I’m eating dinner like a maniac!

It better be worth staying up this late, Earthen wants his sleepy time
30,000 people are hoping the same thing!
Why do I do this to myself? I have a 50 question Math assignment that I got on Monday and it’s due tomorrow. I’m not even halfway done with it…
Yay, they’re bringing back Isabelle…
Crap it’s just a happy home academy ripoff
But you’re an actual villager walking around, I wasn’t expecting them to go that far!
I’m really not liking all the reused characters and assets from New Leaf. That doesn’t make me feel optimistic…
I already lost hope
But I’m thinking that in the Switch game, we could possibly visit the camp we made in the app!
OKAY WE CAN ACTUALLY CATCH BUGS AND FISH
Nrrrrrr I’m not sold, it’s just a constant mat grind and churning out items and micro payments to avoid grinding
They better add that throw net in the switchie
You know, I’m beginning to think that AC Switch will be a direct sequel to New Leaf. Also, Nooklings Global! I’m proud of them.
Might be nice for AC to acknowledge some continuity.
Why is there no “shank the deadbeat” option with friends?
“Leaf Tickets”…disgusting. I can’t believe they’re associating micro-transactions with MY Animal Crossing.
Freemium ain’t free
They misspelled Pocket in the URL at the end. But it’s Late November 2017, officially!
How was that Switch mention Xatu? Oh wait there wasn’t one? Told you.
Downvoted. I never even expected a Switch mention!
Yeah you did. I told you it wouldn’t happen not even “yeah this will connect to the next REAL not trash “game” in the series”.
Who cares what I think, GameXplain will still try to analyze how this will connect to future games in their discussion. I pass this argument over to them.
GameXplain is full of a bunch of nutjobs who have their heads so far up Nintendo’s a’s it isn’t even funny.
Wow, you’re just a Mr. Poopypants tonight my friend. PokeJungle is for smiles.
PokeJungle is for Pokemon discussion and I suppose Nintendo discussion in general. Not smiles.
NO! How dare you say things and have them not come true!! Shame on you!! lol
Blehhhhhh it looks like a decent time waster but I’ve been down this road with Dragon City….
If it’s free I’ll pick it up otherwise I’ll just focus on more important things like busting rocks with my skull or being a certified grime taster
To me it just looks like another battery sucker. Pokemon Go completely drained my battery AND my back up battery in like 1 hour.
Whelp I cared just as little about this AC game as I thought I would. Sooooooooo boring…….hahaha
Animal Crossing is not boring. This app doesn’t look that exciting though, but I mean…it’s a free app. What were you expecting
It totally is. I always get sucked in because it’s a cute series and then not long into I wonder what the hell I’m doing and don’t want to play anymore. Not saying others can’t enjoy it, but my own opinion is that it’s crazy boring in the long run.
Nah I can play it for months. I do get bored eventually when I’ve basically completed the collections and gone through all the events, but then I jump back in usually with a new town and I’m hooked.
You sir are a weird person (sorry not sorry) hahaha
Well yes, but I feel like a lot of people go through the same cycles with games like these
Fire emblem heroes is a free app and it’s amazing so I don’t see the connection lol
Ew fire emblem
?????????
Not a big fan of the series. I just don’t really like turned based rpgs…pokemon being the exception because it’s quite different
So I stupidly forgot about the direct after talking about it on discord a lot. Does the mobile game look good? Would it appeal to someone like me who finds AC to be a little boring?
It looks like a very polished game. I’ll give it that. It’s well constructed and for fans of the series I’m sure it’ll be a good time waster. For those that find the series boring it may not have much longevity. Worth a shot at the very least. It seems kind of like a Happy Home Designer for camps
I’ll definitely try it. I’ve definitely gained an appreciation for mobile games because of FEH Which is incredible. Mario run got boring to me and the mii app wasn’t really a game so let’s see how this goes
Ehh if you don’t really like AC I can’t see you liking this.
Well here’s the trailer!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BihO3wBLGzo
It has the one thing I’ve ever done in AC, fishing. I used to fish for my brother when he played ACNL
I was so happy to see that we could fish AND catch bugs! Really, you can do everything you can do in a normal Animal Crossing game, just in a much more limited way.
Oh that too. Bug catching.
I found it fun especially when you reeled in something good and we would catch specific Beatles I believe. My reason for disliking AC however was just that I didn’t get the appeal and how you can play for such an extensive amount of time
Cute animals and music. What more could you want from a game?
Ugh this is just going to kill my phone battery. I wonder if it will be downloadable on ipad though…
Getting awfully tired of my posts getting held for review when I use the “S” word. I’m not even using it in a negative way towards the people I’m talking to……
I can safely say that I understand the angle they’re going with for Pocket Camp. Give people a tiny space to decorate, catch bugs, fish, etc. and when people say “I’m tired of this, I love it, but I need more room!” SMACK THEM IN THE FACE with Animal Crossing Switch!
It’s a mobile game. I think in general people should understand that. You can’t expect that much from a mobile game (FEH has A LOT however)
I know that, and it is its own thing of course, but I’m thinking about Reggie’s comments when he said that it’s going to bring new people into the Animal Crossing franchise. It makes sense to me at least.
And trust me I very much believe him. I can say I’m hooked I think
They should’ve released this like 2 years ago instead of all that energy wasted with amiibo festival.
What even was that game? Like a Mario Party style game?
What it was, was an abortion.
Yes and it was all about using amiibos and sh*t. It was a horrible direction for the franchise. They released like 50 amiibos of all of these super side characters that no one likes instead of popular villagers. I remember seeing all of them on sale that’s how stupid of an idea it was. Like who wants to pay $10+ for an amiibo of lyle’s sister or Isabelle’s ugly brother? NO ONE.
What if they’re just setting us up for an animal crossing with…. you guessed It! POKEMON! That would be a nice crossover.
To be honest all I’ll say about AC PC is that if it distracts me from PAD, it’s good. FEH does
Oh, you play FE Heroes? Nice. Also, what’s PAD?
Lol yes I play FEH. Fire Emblem is one of my favorite series if not my favorite. Pad is Puzzle and dragons. A gacha game that makes me sick
Ugh I already miss Star. I want to hear her thoughts on this AC app.
She’d Probably like it
And y’know she could be ghosting us this very minute ? (probably not, but who knows)
i really like this change, i just wonder “why” lol
hope its epic
USUM ARE AWESOME…
Gimme some new Alolan Forms and I will be Ultra-Happy
