  5. So I said I’d come back for the next trailer and it was C O O L A F
    Also all story heavy mons in Tapu Bulu? Interesting… maybe my favorite Tapu might get some time in the spotlight this time ;3

    Reply

    • We don’t know all catchable mons yet, that’s the reason. I just use the SunMoon one, but I’ll be only using gen 7 mons

      Reply

  15. Do any of you have nicknames yet for your USUM teams? I’m just throwing around some because I’m not even sure what mons I’m using.

      Inci – Plagg/Enyo

      Crabombinable Crabmeat
      Mudsdale BoJack
      Golisopod Razor

      Reply

    • I’m not sure bout any of them but I have few ideas:
      Decidueye: Owliver (if male), Queen (if female),Deadshot, Sniper, Vigilante (or Vigil), Owleye
      Lycanroc Dusk: Pumpkin Spice, Autumn, Ginger, Merida (if female)
      Alolan Persian will be for sure Joey (after my cat that Looks like AloPersian)
      Inky the Shiny Mimikyu is already named and waiting in my box
      The rest of the team is unsure but I have some options:
      Togedemaru (Spiky, Bowler, Pika the Hedgehog)
      Alolan Sandslash (Iceslush, Subzero)
      Alolan Golem (Beard (if female, Blackbeard (if male))
      Kommo-o (Jingle, Scale King, Drarmor)

      Reply

    • If I go Litten, I’ll probably name him “Man-Cat”, unless I want a girl, then I’ll name it something cutesy so it’ll be “Snuggly” the Incineroar or something.

      Whenever I choose Rowlet, it will be named “Hooters” no discussion.

    • My character
      Zakai
      Torracat- Zuko
      Lurantis- Allure
      Lycanroc- Okamiwa (if I can nickname it)
      Passimian- Messi
      Alola Golem- Nappa
      Zygarde 10%- Koena (if Zygarde is there)
      Alola Dugtrio- Dee&Deb&Daf

      Reply

          • If you hate Inci, choose a diffrent starter. Littens fate is to stand up and become a wrestler. Don’t be the Parent that doesn’t let it change the way it wants to.

          • If I hate Inci then I wont let it be Inci. I think you forget that Im the one in charge in the pokemon-human relationship. It’s not whether they want to be evolved are not. I stay the leader

        • Or you could just not minimise their comment if it bugs you

          Do I like Inci? Yes. Do I care that Casc is keeping it at a stage they prefer? Not really. Power to them really, I’m too basic to not evolve a level up mon XD

  16. So the absence of background in Mewtwo screenshot pretty much confirms that we are gonna encounter legends in UsUm like we did in Oras. Pretty lame…

    Reply

  19. Can confirm that this is the correct order of typings from good to bad:
    1 – Electric
    2 – Dark
    3 – Water
    4 – Steel
    5 – Ghost
    6 – Poison
    7 – Ground
    8 – Bug
    9 – Normal
    10 – Ice
    11 – Dragon
    12 – Fairy
    13 – Fighting
    14 – Psychic
    15 – Rock
    16 – Flying
    17 – Grass
    18 – Fire

  22. So in Hoenn I’m following my dream to become a top class co-ordinator and I’ve realised something.
    Contests are really good and more exiciting in ORAS.
    Heck ORAS are bloody amazing save the lack of BF possibly the best games in the series.
    How do people find time to dislike ORAS?

    Reply

    • I don’t dislike it, I just don’t find as replayable as other games (Never liked the selection of the first few areas. Giving primarily Water or Grass types meaning unless you don’t mind over lap your limited to a small pool of teammates)

      Reply

      • Well I’d probably say same about Sinnoh although I expect Sinnoh remakes to fix that and they’ll be amazing.
        Well in ORAS you get the dex nav? Which creates great diversity and realism in catching.
        Surely there’s so much more to judge a game on than your early game perception?? 🙂

        Reply

        • Meh I just found that the beginning of the game is the most crucial part cause you build your legacy and need the right partners early to gain appeal

          The middle is the fun part when you get to bond and play with your Pokémon

          The end is when your team starts to or gets serious facing the threat of the evil team and you must train hard and keep your Pokémon in shape to keep up with the pace

          Reply

          • To be fair you do get a variety just before you reach Rustboro such as
            Tailow, Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Ralts and Slakoth. Pelipper is also part flying.
            Being a tropical region there naturally will be plenty of water types!
            As you hit Mauville/Lavaridge areas you get more variety.
            Honestly I feel Sinnoh would be worse and maybe BW Unova imo.
            Hoenn also has dex nav which helps get rare egg moves or abilities etc

    • I think I disliked ORAS initially because I hyped up battle frontier to the point it was the only thing I was expecting and since it didnt deliver + the fact that it was the easiest game to the point where it was boring, I strongly disliked ORAS.

      Now after realizing the amazing megas it introduced. The beautiful graphics. The amazng contests. And the convenience of everything that ORAS brought. I’ve to really adore the games. It’s too bad that it took me so long to understand.

      Reply

      • Absolutely! The no BF made me so unhappy but I eventually got over it even tho it’s like the best post game feature.
        Then again the vastness of Hoenn/ORAS, the subtle details, the well polished region,delta episode and all the refinements to a great game as well as crazy features like soaring and dex nav make these games unbelievably good.
        And now I’m tryna realise that there’s life after the BF which makes ORAS more fun!

        Reply

    • I honestly don’t have a specific reason. I just found ORAS to be boring and just unexciting for some reason. and it was honestly the only Pokemon game I forced myself to finish.

      Reply

      • Aside from difficulty and lack of BF, I think the games strong points are the region, the focus on adventure and the fun aspect like the dex nav and detail the game has.
        I guess we all have preferences!

        Reply

      • Yeah I love contests like in the anime.
        To be fair ORAS did expand them greatly. We have Zinnia playing a huge role and the contests themselves are far better and more graphical with animations and special moves etc
        I believe ORAS has more rivals too!

    • Wow time to bust out the long lists, to keep it from getting vertically annoying I will use go left to right (first is best; last is worst)
      Electric>Dragon>Fairy>Flying>Psychic>Ghost>Steel>Ice>Water>Fire>Poison>Dark>Fighting>
      Bug>Grass>Rock>Normal>Ground

      So I made some changes since last time (idk if you guys remember)
      First off, I really cannot decide if I like Electric types or Dragon types more, it’s always a constant internal battle.
      I moved Rock types from last to 15th. I realized rock types have amazing moves, and when they have a cool pokemon it really is cool. So they are no longer my least favorites.
      I moved fighting from 17th to 13th because I love fighting type moves. And I just how powerful they are.
      I moved Ground type to my least favorite type because well I was going through the list of ground types and realized, barely anything stuck out to me. Literally they were all below average or avrage. And they only have EQ as the only cool move. All in all I dont like ground types. They just suck looks wise. Theyre all boring. Ground type worst type

    • Getting 999 of those things sounds as pointless as 999 Korok seeds in BoTW. Hope the reward isn’t a shiny golden turd as well…
