  1. Okay, there is some seriously awesome merchandise this week. I actually really want the Necrozma and Ho-oh plushes, and that Ho-oh + Lugia jacket! I usually say “I want this or that” but this time I actually think I’m going to get something. Probably the jacket and Necrozma.

  2. Great to see that USUM merch is in full swing! Not even two weeks anymore and it finally feels like a real hype season ?

  3. Pokemon I choose you review & Gen 8 predictions!

    – Movie and post credits combined IMO make it the best Pokemon movie of all time!
    – Past movies such as power of one, mewtwo returns and Luke’ mystery of mew all were better in many ways but this as a combined package was amazing
    – Essentially the USUM of the movies. It was like an alternate universe with many alterations but with many references to original saga!

    – The graphical animation was AMAZING! Best so far! The story was good maybe not as great as say Lucario and myst’ of mew but it didn’t need to be this is a diff kinda film

    – The post film credits were absolutely out of this world, it basicallly was 10 minutes of nostalgia service of the entire series.  

    – It was screaming the end of an era, the film just like USUM is doing threw everything in the anime together and it was amazing. The nostalgia I got from there was unbelievable! Past characters, regions, films and anime sagas from Kanto to Kalos all had involvement 

    – GET READY for a MASSIVE REBOOT of the whole series games and anime. Not like BW even more, the post credits as well as USUM are screaming reboot.

    – It also hinted at Team rockets return in USUM in a very subtle way 

    – Post film scenes where just amazing maybe even better than the entire film thats how good they were!

    – Overall one of the best especially in terms of nostalgia! Loved it!

    Reply
    • Yeah uh… no. Anybody expecting Pokemon Switch to be anything more than USUM with slightly better graphics and the usual new gen amenities like a new region, evil team, and a handful of new Pokemon, etc. they are fooling themselves hardcore.

      Reply
          • Why do that to yourself though? USUM is showing exactly how GameFreak cares about us, while I am personally pretty happy with USUM it is definitely a HUUUUUUUUGE middle finger.

          • Because it gives me temporary happiness that I know will fade away with the reveal trailer but damn it I can’t take any more disappointment with this series right now

          • At least you can hold on to that hope for at least another 2 years. But seriously if the series is upsetting you that much maybe you should look into a different series or hobby in general.

          • Well the series can’t make decision, it is the company behind it and I mean they’ve pretty much always been like this so I mean… eh? And besides it is kind of hard to change a series too much without making it a completely new series in the process.

      • Exactly. The thing that stands out for me is all the actions and choices being made my gamefreak with the games and with the production team on the anime are screaming not just any old reboot it feels like its going to be huge, honestly I’m confident on this!

        Reply
        • The anime is it’s own thing and nothing about USUM screams anything but we are celebrating our 20 year anniversary but needed a bit more time and fan feedback to make a game that is actually worthwhile instead of the trash that SM was.

          Reply
          • It seems to me that you just like to oppose other peoples views just for the sake of it.
            How can you possibly say that the anime is it’s own thing? If that was the case then Ash should be chilling in Kanto until he’s won the league.
            Why is he in Alola? A major purpose of the animes existence is to promote the games. Sometimes they reveal new next gen mons through the anime/movies.
            So no, there is a clear link and if you haven’t watched the I choose you movie then sorry you don’t have any legs to stand on.
            The manner in which they are throwing all their balls into one pot is a clear indicator of this being the final hurrah of this era. Go watch the movie you might learn something.
            SM being trash unfortunately that’s your opinion dude, not reality.

  4. It’s these sleepy rainy Sunday’s that I want to invent a helmet that can hold the switch’s screen while I lay in bed

    Now if only there was a way I could make joycons link with 3DS buttons

    Reply
        • That is different per region? You think I don’t know that, I am just saying it is like completely dry for me. I would honestly like a little rain.

          Reply
          • *fights using electric and grass types* I don’t like rain all the time and I hate being in rain and getting wet, but a little bit here and there while I am inside a building is nice. I had plenty of rain earlier this year, I dunno how widespread it was in the news but earlier this year my area was flooded for like a week or 2 because of how much rain we had.

      • I live on an island….a Long Island…

        And I say this because if i want to play a DS game in bed I’d have to constantly hold it up or lay flat on my stomach while I put the DS on the floor (which the blood flows to my face and lips and I get dizzy after a hour)

        Reply
        • Couldn’t you just… Lie down on your front and put the 3DS in front of you? That’s how I play it like 99% of the time.

          Reply
        • So what you are saying is you want to link the joycons because due to how they work with the head mounting it would result in a play… style? that is comfortable for you? Makes sense to me I suppose. I often would like something like that sometimes I don’t even need controls because I am just watching videos but yeah. Seems like something that would be readily available to be honest.

          Reply
          • I dunno I’m rambling at this point,
            I just like the ability to have a suspended monitor with my game and the option to have my arms to my side or sprawled out not confined to my front when slothfully gaming

  5. reply to this with your team ideas/Starters for US UM personally im going to try to solo beat the game with a team of smeargle any team at all

    Make of it what you will. Will begin analysing ‘type controversy’ in a few minutes. I’m certainly shocked with the results. And if looks like one type hit rock bottom…

    Reply
  7. Kind of shocked for those who have seen the Pokémon movie not mentioning this already.
    Did anyone else have a WTF moment or expected it when Pikachu started talking to Ash? Everyone in my screening was probably feeling that way or astounded (the younger crowd).

  9. so i shouldnt comment this here but i will trade anyone a shiny silvally right now for a marshadow just saying i hate silvally

    Reply
  10. Well I enjoyed the movie mostly. A fair amount flaws but fun. I did get the promo Pikachu card and it’s sealed in a packet with the QR code so that should be nice and safe.

    I also picked up my Silvally code, not sure if I should get another in case it works with USUM.

    Oh and wasn’t Build-a-Bear Bulbasaur revealed?

  11. GameFreak employee: Sir, we’ve found that Sophocles is very unpopular. Shall we reduce his role in Ultra Sun and Moon?

    GameFreak: fůck no lol double his role and his rolls

  12. So like If u were a main character in a Pokemon anime. which Pokemon anime theme would u use for it? (use any of the black and white animes and you’re trash) Japaneses versions counts too

    Reply
  13. These articles make me realize how much I NEED pokemon merchandise in my life, but I am an adult male and would be hardcore judged for it. Fitting into society’s norms is tough.
    I got my Silvally event too (right nature on first try) so Im pretty set, and probably done with Sun. It was a very good game, and I really appreciate it. Honestly it’s either my 3rd or 4th favorite region in the Pokemon series I hope USUM makes me love it even more.
    Even for the first games in a series (since they are typically worse) I can say I was very pleased with them!
    Dont forget to vote ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1V-V_edp-qpKl7CAwSPZHXx31PPqkIRMruql1Vvn-9bg/edit#responses ) it’s picking 5 now for a double elimination tomorrow.

    Reply
  14. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, they showed 3 Generations episodes after the movie and they looked great on the big screen.

    Also I choose You Movie spoilers Incineroar was purposefully getting weakened in its’ first fight against Ash so Blaze would activate but there was no effect to show it had. That disappointed me a little. I did like Incineroar more in this, I liked the run on all fours it did and it reminded me of how I’d improve Incineroar, making it hunched over and more feral looking. Veritys’ Piplup was pretty much the same as Dawns, like the moves were the same iirc, so that was kinda boring. Also Midnight Lycanroc and Lucario barely got to do anything, which considering they were 2 main character partner Pokemon was a bit odd to me. .

    Reply
    • Incineroar would be so easy to improve. The head is perfect, imo. But everything else?
      Super flawed.
      The stripes? No. Super boring textbook-stripes. Snooze.
      The hands? No. Just why honestly?
      The tail? Ehhhh….meh. Nothing special.
      The belt? I guess that’s its gimmick, but it’s so weird.
      The chest? NO. Wtf even is this part? It’s the worst part of the design. Looks like underarmor or some sh*t.
      The stance? Hunched, like you said, or quadrupedal would be way better.

      Anyway just thought I would give my thoughts on this poorly designed mon. Makes me feel better to critically analyze why it’s a bad design.

      Reply
      • Yeah they really should have had more jagged stripes. The shirt/chest thing still bugs me. The main reason I suggest hunched is so it can still fit the Wrestler theme. I would say the flamethrower from the belt looked better in the anime, still weird though, I really wanted to see it do that huge inhale thing before blasting the flamethrower from its’ mouth like other fire types do Charmeleon does this in the movie, one time before it evolves and it’s really a powerful moment

        Reply
    • Actually army screening they showed them before the movie started. So just in case, make sure to get there at least 30 minutes early.

      Reply
      • I was there 30 minutes before at mine and nothing, and quite alot of people left after the movie ended. There’s also some shorts in between but they were only like 5 second things I think I’d seen online aswell.

        Reply
    • Yeah I absolutely loved that! Very nice touch! All the references to the past! The part really got to my heart the nostalgia was hitting me from all directions!
      Honestly I felt it was their way of saying goodbye to this era. I just feel gen 8 gsmes and anime are gonna have quite a big reboot!

  16. So I was some minutes late to the Pokemon movie and as I entered I was like yeah I’ll just find a seat.

    Then to my horror it was almost packed out and I squeezed in thankfully found a good seat.

    I guess they were mostly 90 kids grown up and some had their children too. Passing the torch of Moltres to the next generation!

    Reply
  17. Saw the movie today. I liked it a bit. It’s a Pokemon movie so nothing crazy groundbreaking, but over all it was quite enjoyable. Nothing too horribly bad. I will say that Marshadow’s part in it seems a bit unnecessary and they’re not 100% clear on what it’s role really is, but oh well. Either way ti was a nice movie and is worth seeing. It’s interesting to see what parts of the original show they decided to throw in and what parts they changed. The two friends characters were actually a lot more likable than I thought they’d be and while they weren’t crazy fleshed out due to time constants they did a good job of accompanying Ash.

  18. Fun fact about Kurusu here: One of the only games recently I haven’t gotten bored of my choices or had a will to switch to another game, was actually Kirby Triple Deluxe as it has a good level of difficulty for me as its fun and easy to get back into the basics and still difficult enough to keep me on my toes

    Reply
    • Triple jumps are actually easier to perform in this game than any previous 3D Mario game. You just have to press A three times in a row…not sure what else to say. Now if you want me to explain the ground pound-leap forward Cappy bounce + extra leap, that would be a bit more technical, but I’ve done it too many times to count.

      Reply
  19. Just in case it has indeed been confirmed that the I Choose You Hat Ash Pikachu QR Codes (for both North America and Europe) are all exactly 100% the same so no need to worry about going to the movie to get one as the QR Code has been posted online publicly several times now.

  20. Apparently, the first 180 Pokémon in the Alola Dex have leaked thanks to a book! I’ll have the image of the book and the list underneath in spoilers.

    Interesting notes:

    -Misdreavus is no longer on Melemele. It’s been replaced by Murkrow.

    -Melemele seemingly has most of the changes, which is great imo because more early game variation.

    -Some Pokémon are faaaaaar earlier than you’d expect, for example Furfrou on Route 1 and Hawlucha… Well, at any point on the first island really.

    -Some late Pokémon found early! Noibat, Jynx, Honchkrow!

    -Zubat is apparently the wrong colour… It’s the same colour as the dark types in the Dex… Alolan form, or misprint? ;p

  22. A warning involving the dex leak below
    BE CAUTIOUS! Noibat is useless in every possible way until it evolves at level 40ish. No joke it doesn’t get a decent move till like mid 20s and even then it pretty much sucks till it evolves so it will act a bit like a deadweight. This is a warning from experience

  24. I actually love that Clamperl was added to alola, A lot of these mons seem to have been added based on what fits the region best rather than just trying to balance stuff or cater to certain trainers. It’s a nice way to handle the Pokedex

  25. Hawlucha being an island one mon was literally the greatest news I’ve heard today.

  27. Well I finally thought of a name for my more demon like Legendary in my game

    Ouroborok- Its based on two different legends. The Ouroboros and Ragnarok

    As it comes along every (insert large amount of time) to create an apocalypse to wipe all life, it then dies and is reborn in a new form and spreads new life to start regrowing, after it regrows the life it leaves to collect more energy for the next apocalypse (as its new form is vulnerable and defenseless)

    There by going threw a rebirth cycle and creating an apocalypse using both of the legends in its lore

  32. 244 Out of the 400 Pokemon we are completely confirmed are in the game

    As of now, the morelull line , Komala, Bruxish, Dhelmise, Minior, and the Silvally line have not been confirmed but it’s safe to assume they are, bringing us to a grand total of
    252 out of 400 Pokemon in this dex CONFIRMED

    Oh and it’s probably 262 cause UBS

    Considering the facts, that’s actually wild

    Reply
  33. If all Mega Evolvable Pokémon are included in the Dex (don’t know if this is someone including starters and legends though because I just stole this from somewhere else) we’ve got 18 slots left in the Dex.

    I’m not gonna lie, I don’t see Alolans happening any time soon. They could always remove Pokémon from the Dex but Mismagius and Honchkrow are most likely just a swap.

  35. So seeing as Hau got Noivern and Hapu got Golurk, what trainer team changes are you expecting?

    Faba – Malamar for any of his mons, I can’t see him keeping Alolan Raichu with an expanded Dex

    Hala – Hawlucha instead of Makuhita/Hariyama or Mankey/Primeape

    Olivia – Tyranitar in her E4 battle over Carbink

    Lusamine – Froslass if Mismagius is pushed back to Poni

    Kukui – Dusk Lycanroc replacing Midday Lycanroc (like N using Zoroark), maybe he replaces Braviary, Magnezone and Snorlax

    Hau – Maybe the stronger starter depending on when/if Lillie becomes a trainer?

    Kukui again – Either no starter or no battle if Lillie becomes a trainer

          Reply
          • Pretty much. For each world I did the main story missions which usually ended with multimoons then maybe collected a few at random if I wanted to. I took my time with it. Now that I beat it I’m getting all of them

          • the way my brother has been doing it and also myself, is to get all possible moons you can get at the time before moving on. I would say its just that feeling of going on when you know theres more to do which is so new to me lol

  37. I’m trying to come up with new names for my starters (1st stages)
    Grass is a green Bear Cub that wears leafs on its face. Trying to incorporate the word Leaf into it. Previous name: Bearine (Bear+Vine) Current name ideas: Leaffur (Leaf+Fur)
    Fire is a small orange snake with a black pattern on its back. Trying to incorporate the word Snakelet (baby/small snake) into it. Previous name: Snakoal (Snake+Coal) current name ideas: Sparklet (Spark+Snakelet), Burnlet (Burn+Snakelet), Snakehot (Snakelet+Hot), Snakeheat (Snakelet+Heat)
    Water is an European Water Vole, but Blue with thicker whiskers and holding a clay cup almost its size. Previous name:Waterole (Water+Vole) Current name ideas: Vall/Smole (Small+Vole), Holter (Hold+Water)

      Freezing is like Winter when most flowers close

      Night time, there are a few flowers I think that close their petals and Shaymin land form acts similar to flower bud waiting to bloom

  41. So, Honestly I get a split response half and half, so I wonder what’s your guys answer
    Was SM easy (or on the easier side) or was SM hard (or on the harder side) to you?
    Do tell why it was easy/hard. Was your team disadvantageous? Did you pick Litten (supposedly Litten made the game super easy)? Were you overleveled/underleveled?

    Personally I think SM were on the harder side. I lost some battles, more than once, and I loved it. I chose Rowlet (which I felt made things harder) and my team constantly had glaring weaknesses (like in the beginning of the game I was supr weak to flying). I lost to a lot of totems. Also the speed of Alola mons made it even harder, because I couldnt outpace anyone. The games were hard, and it was a huge improvement from ORAS.

    Reply
    • I found it quite hard compared to the other modern Pokémon games, but regular trainers are still a joke (as is Olivia lol)

      I’ve had trouble with different totems depending on my team but I feel Vika and Kommo are the weakest link. E4 and champion were a return to form

      Reply
      • Totem Vika and Kommo were jokes, but the E4 was not. I lost to Acerola once and Kahili like 3 times, and Kukui like once, they were hard. It was a nice challenge. Even on par with their levels I still struggled

        Reply
        • I found Olivia very easy for an E4, but the rest were decently challenging or even honestly hard

          And Kukui… Best final battle in ages.

          Reply
          • I actually disagree there, I didnt like his champ theme like everyone else. It just seemed very emotionless. Like I don’t the impress of “This is a hard fight” like Lance, or “This is serious, but also fun,” Like Iris. and it didnt sound great like Diantha’s
            Grannted I guess since our character is the champ, and they are emotionless maybe thats it.

          • I agree, I think Olivia was easy, but that’s nature of rock types lol.
            Kukui battle was AMAZING, I wish his team was a little bit better, but it was still pretty good!

          • Yes!Pokemon lately has been doing this thing were they give trainers pokemon that dont have 4 moves.
            Hala had 3 mons wth 2 moves/ 1 mon with 3 moves/ 1 mon with 4
            Olivia had 3 mons with 3 moves/ 2 with 4
            I am not quite sure why they started doing this, but it’s so weird. Maybe thats why Olivia and Acerola were hard because all their mons had all 4 moves

    • Definitely on the harder side, while early stuff was quite easy, the mid-end part was pretty difficult, in fact it even made me use the Exp Share sometimes and had a lot of challenging battles (like the E4 fe)

  43. So what are some annoying things you hate to hear pokemon fans say regarding pokemon and why? For me:
    “Unova is underrated.” Literally anyone who says Unova in a positive light, someone says this. Like how many people can something is underrated until it is actually ‘average rated.’ The only people who say Unova is super bad are people who probably dont play anymore, honestly. I think I’ve only met a handful of people who still play Pokemon actually dislike Unova. Most people like Unova! It’s not underrated!

    “Why have Battle Frontier? Battle Tower is fine.” Why have a get one of those big assorted boxes with different chips? One chip is fine. Even if YOU dont want it other people want it! Nobody is forcing you to play the whole frontier. Frontier includes Tower. I dont see the problem honestly.

    ” EXP. Share is broken, and makes it too easy for kids.” Why does it matter what’s too easy for kids? Play the game your way and they play it their way! I personally love new EXP share makes grinding sooo much easier.

    ” ORAS didnt have BF because it wasnt in RS” Such a STUPID arguement. Battle Maison wasnt in RS, Delta story wasnt in RS, Megas werent in RS, Battle Resort wasnt in RS, The list goes on.

    So what about you guys?

    – Plusle and Minun are cute asf with a unique gimmick

    – Decidueye is actually an extremely well put together design, it’s just a shame it doesn’t convey ghost well outside its shiny

  52. I posted this half a year ago.. times have changed
    The theme of this Pokemon Region is Growth. As a franchise, Pokemon has been with some people since they could first learn to speak. Others may have been introduced to it later on by a friend. Regardless, it holds a special place in the hearts of people. As we grow older and change, so does the series. Consequently, it’s the perfect topic to touch on in a Pokemon game. This region is called the “Incrum” region, a named derived from the Latin word “Incrementum” which means growth (Unless I mistranslated). The two legendaries of this game refer to the concepts of dreams and reality; two vital parts to growth. Ambition and dreams are important as they allow you to be motivated to move forward. However being engrossed in them may lead to a person being too obsessed with their ambitions, no matter how logical or illogical, to move forward. It is important to balance these dreams with reality, to not lose sight of the world around you. If you are too obsessed with seeing the world in a literal sense, you may end up disregarding dreams that would have a lasting effect on the world. That is what the legendaries, and evil teams correspond to. One of the teams is too engrossed in trying to make everything better that they disregard the suffering they cause, and the other team is one who refuses to look forward and see things in a more abstract light, not just pure logic.

    Is it just a color mistake, or perhaps it’s a new alola form?

  57. FANGAME LORE DUMP Y’ALL

    “Many years ago, there was a Pokemon named Arceus created the universe. This task left it weakened, leading it to use its thousand arms to create two eggs out of debris scattered from the universe’s creation. These eggs hatched into two all-powerful legendaries called … and … . Due to its weakened state, these two Pokemon were in charge of creating the planets and galaxies. After thousands of years, these Pokemon began to grow tired and almost perished from pure exhaustion. To remedy this, Arceus made a third egg which became a Pokemon that created pure elemental energy. While this new Pokemon was nowhere strong enough to help Arceus recover, it was enough to power the two Pokemon he had created. For millennia all was well. They birthed legendaries like Palkia, Dialga, nearly every Pokemon was created by these two. Over time they began to grow greedy and they both attempted to steal all the energy that third Pokemon had created from each other. They both wanted absolute control. Power began to shift back and forth for ages before Arceus finally stepped in and put an end to the fighting. In a last ditch effort to prevent a catastrophe of this size from happening again, Arceus sacrificed its arms to create two separate realms which we know today as fantasy and reality. To them, it locked each of the two in a separate dimension and created guardians from the very same material the two Pokemon had been responsible for creating. These guardians would be responsible for keeping the boundary that separated the two realms secure forever. The third Pokemon had vanished, never to be seen again and Arceus went dormant. To this day, it still has not awoken. As of now, cracks in the boundary are beginning to form, so your task is to locate the guardians and prepare to fight alongside them once this barrier breaks again. I know it’s a lot to ask (player name) but you’re the only one able to do it.” ~Argus

      • Why are you always so critical? All they did was put together all the currently credible leaks and type up their own comments. No need to be rude

        Reply
        • They aren’t leaks. They are rumours. Learn the difference. Any rumours that haven’t been confirmed yet (ie anything regarding Alolans are wrong, and fake). Get over it.

          Reply
          • Yes I do, and I still can’t believe that turned out real because Alolans were far more likely, but it is what it is. There is actual proof/reasoning as to why the Alolans and UBs won’t happen.

          • Ok so lets say there aren’t new Alolan forms and maybe there really aren’t anyway. How can you use that single thing to discredit every other point that that specific leak got right. Also even if there aren’t any other new UBs the USUM wishlist still got that there would be brand new UBs in general right so you really can’t use that as a point against it anyway. On top of it that’s not even the only leak the pic has on it so I’m not sure what you’re point is. It’s been proven time and time again that leaks can be true leaks even if they get one or two things wrong. The fact is the USUM Wishlist has gotten much more correct than it has gotten wrong up to this point so I’m not sure what you’re issue with it or any of the other leaks are…….

          • Yes you are right most of the time they are in fact fake, but when real ones come around you can’t deny them simply because the rest are fake. In every pre release run up to Pokemon games there are always fake rumors, but there are also always a few real leaks that happen. I feel like you’re saying the USUM wishlist and the other very few leaks we’ve gotten are fake just because all the rest of the rumors are clearly fake. I’ll admit I don’t see the tiki Pokemon thing the guy putting on there as a “leak” because there’s really no evidence for it, but you’re acting like none of the rumors we’ve gotten this year have any credibility.

          • Sometimes, but that doesn’t make them any less legit. I’m still not sure why you take such a hard line stance on this, but I guess it’s best we just agree to disagree on whatever we’re disagreeing about.

          • Why wouldn’t I take a hard line stance on this as you call it. All you idiots refuse to believe the truth.

          • Now you’re just being rude. There’s absolutely no reason to start insulting me or anyone else given that no one has done so to you. I like having open debates with people, but you doing that ruins the spirit of having different opinions. I’m done talking about this and that’s because of you. So thanks……

          • There is a way to get your point across without using degrading terms
            Perhaps you should learn it

          • Anybody with a low enough intelligence to believe nonsense is an idiot that is how the term idiot works. Unless the definition changed.

          • And you clearly can’t figure out that nobody wants you here.
            Besides, I don’t believe this leak, I just find it intriguing. If you took your head out of your ass for more than two seconds perhaps you’d realize that we’re mainly posting leaks that look interesting because it’s more interesting than letting the chat die, y’know?
            Though honestly it’s like talking to a brick wall because you clearly don’t understand how this site works.

          • Don’t even bother talking to him anymore. All he knows is how to be a jerk and that’s fine. If nobody posts on his comments anymore maybe he’ll leave.

          • I don’t care if nobody wants me here, I am not wanted anywhere. I am used to it. I don’t like other people so it works out for the better irl. And I would rather it die than posting nonsense. Though other things can be talked about besides bs. Like Unseelie or whatever their name is and Cascoon does. Their stupid polls and questions are better than fake rumours and stupid crap that is obviously fake.

          • Fam listen

            I know you’re not trying to be a prick but the constant negativity and shutting down of any speculation is really making people not like you

            You can say you don’t care but I know you do. I get rumors are annoying but the games come out in two weeks and there really is absolutely no point in arguing either way when we are literally about to find out.

            I think you just need to accept that other people aren’t long to think the same as you. That doesn’t make them less intelligent. You need to lose the ego a bit. I don’t want you gone. You just get to be a bit much with the refusal to consider any speculation. Ya know?

          • You don’t know anything don’t try to act like you do. The only person who knows me is myself. So screw off with that. And it is less than 2 weeks, and we aren’t about to find out we already know people just refuse to face facts because they are idiotic.

            I accept that people are retarded and like to believe in bullsh*t but that doesn’t make it any less bullsh*t. And yes it does make them far less intelligent because if they were intelligent they would know when something is right in their face. I don’t have an ego. You say that but words are easy to come by. And I don’t care if I am too much. Hearing stupid bullsh*t every 5 seconds is too much to but it ain’t gonna stop. Ya know?

          • Then why are you here? You are getting really upset over it and it’s kind of ridiculous.

            I didn’t claim I knew your life and I didn’t mean to come off as insulting or judgemental in anyway. I wasn’t trying to.

            And like.. I get that feeling when people are believing in bullshit that isn’t true but let’s back up for a bit and remember we are taking about a Pokémon game.

            A post on 4chan has predicted a bunch of stuff correctly leading people to assume that the rest of the stuff detailed in it is probably true. That isn’t a ridiculous idea. That’s the human brain connecting the dots and finding patterns.

            If you’re wrong or if they’re wrong. Does it really matter that much? Are any life changing decisions going to be based off this?

            I actually like you and I just think that you need to tone it down. Honestly what’s the point when you’re just bringing other people down?

          • Because I can be.

            I didn’t say you were coming off as insulting or judgmental did I? I am just telling you, you don’t know a single thing about me, only I do.

            And? Just because it is a Pokemon game people can suddenly be idiots without being idiots?

            It didn’t predict anything, they work at Nintendo or GameFreak and because they didn’t want to be completely transparent they tried to play it off as just a wishlist and included fake bs. Smart tactic. And I guess I am not a human because my brain doesn’t work like that.

            I won’t be wrong so don’t even imply that. As to them being wrong does it matter? Beyond showing that they are an idiot no. But it is what it is. Idiots need to grow some brains or kill themselves.

            I am who I am and there is no changing that. The only point is as I’ve said is that idiots need to grow some brain cells and learn that these things are fake and not happening. We need less idiots in this world not more.

  60. So a couple of things involving my USUM team build. First I was looking at a document I wrote up for when I was planning my Sun team and it’s hilarious to me that I only ever used two of the Pokemon I said I wanted to use. Those being Incineroar and Vikavolt. Second, I think I’ve come to the conclusion I may need a ground type (or a Pokemon that has access to powerful Ground moves). While going through the type effectiveness chart the two types I found that I didn’t have anything good against specifically were Poison and Electric. Every other type is more or less taken into account in some way. These are my current thoughts. I’m hoping even if there aren’t new Alolan forms I can get a cool ground type (or equivalent) on my team. Any suggestions? Any Pokemon that would be good, but haven’t been confirmed to be in USUM yet? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/00453cdbb71a01f626b5f5b5f9a54626974a4d21ab51fc035abef488f986ff36.png

    Reply
      • Yeah I’m aware. That’s another reason maybe a ground type would be good. Something to rely on if things go south.

        Reply
      • Prolly will. I’m just not sure what I want to do for the final slot. I suppose I could put something else in there that isn’t specifically ground type, but is able to use ground type moves and could essentially act a ground type for my team.

        Reply
        • Depends if you want to use Gen 7 introduced ‘mon or anything now available. Ground has Pallosand but you already have 2 Ghosts, Mudsdale which could be good, or Fugtrio which I don’t like but you might. Really you can probably get by with Marowak in-game provided you have the Thick Club. Alolan Muk is a cool option.

          Reply
          • I guess honestly at this point I’ll likely be using a non gen 7 Pokemon. I’ve already used Mudsdale and like you said I already have an over abundance of ghost on my team. Maybe it’s best to branch out. Hopefully they add some good ground types from previous gens to USUM for me to choose. I was also eyeing up the Sandile line as that seems fun lol

          • Yeah Krookodile is good. I am hoping Nidoran is available (for Moon Ball HA shiny), if it is then there’s Nidoking. Flygon, Mamoswine, Gastrodon and Garchomp are all solid options if they’re still in.

    • I think it’s fine the way it is but I would love for a pitch black pokeball one day! Maybe one day we’ll have the option to change the color of our standard pokeball?

      Reply
    • Not that they aren’t all cool, but why are the Pokeball and Premier ball the only ones that have their normal design? Why not just do them in their normal designs and have the same concept be put into them?

  62. Well I’m back from the movie and let me just say… That was the… BEST POKEMON MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!! I loved every second of it, I laughed at some of the humor I cried When Metapod and when Butterfree left, but it now holds a spot as my favorite movie of the year, second Favorite over all (Guardians of the Galaxy stills comes in first) and a few other details including, my new favorite battle is Pikachu v.s. Marshadow and Butterfree has topped Heracross as my favorite Bug type

    Oh and I finally figured out what all this Marshadow business is about allow me to explain
    You see its the guide to Ho-Oh and sort of is there to keep the Rainbow Hero (being Ash) on their true path and is there more to just make sure the prophesy happens. And when Cross tries to summon Ho-Oh due to the Rainbow Wing being corrupted Marshadow goes mad as it now has been taken by the darkness of the feather and wishes to destroy the ungrateful humans who have failed the prophesy it was created to protect.

    Marshadow’s role wasn’t stated quite to this degree, but if looking at some of the finer details then it becomes pretty clear

  63. Here’s my final US team I decided on:
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3172a7cb56f3988e4fe9fc229a72514475baba4c00e227449bcffffcf4873461.png
    As this is supposed to be a culmination of previous team members I’ve had in past runs (except Incineroar), here’s information about them:

    Flux (Jolteon)
    Game: Red
    Simply put, Flux was always a speedster blitzing through teams. Capable of dishing out strong Electric attacks, Flux served me well in the majority of my Red run, especially during Lance’s battle.

    Sandstorm (Flygon)
    Game: Emerald
    Initially having a rocky take-off in his Trapinch and Vibrava stages, when Sandstorm evolved, he became an incredibly versatile Pokémon to use in my most recent Gen 3 run. Whenever my team needed a counter to a strong foe, Sandstorm was always there as my backup.

    Mediterra (Lapras)
    Game: Y
    Mediterra was a spectacular water type to use. Her tough bulk and also good attacking stats made her a viable asset in being perhaps one of the sturdiest Pokémon I’ve ever had.

    Magneto (Metagross)
    Game: Black
    Stumbling across this fella in the Giant Chasm, I absolutely loved this iron-crab in my post-game Black team. Being my tank, Magneto scoffed at physical attacks and always crushed the foe with a devastating Meteor Mash.

    Ceros (Heracross)
    Game: HeartGold
    The literal bane to Whitney’s Miltank, Ceros was a strong combatant able to land deadly blows on foes. If he wasn’t able to faint a Mon, he could sure lay a big dent on their HP.

  64. Just finished the story of Breath of the Wild.
    Let me say I was expecting a bit more I guess in terms of cutscenes and stuff? I guess it was fine though. I am definitely disappointed there was no human form to Ganon…was really looking forward to seeing what he would look like in this game. But it was really awesome that I got to do the final part on Epona. I rode her literally up to the top of the castle so it was cool that I got to actually go to battle on her too! I do wish I could actually keep Hyrule in its nice ganon-less appearance and travel with Zelda ;-; But I guess no Zelda will ever let that happen.

  65. Regarding the new alola dex, I’m speculating Heatmor and the Cubchoo family could be added.

    Yes I know, Heatmor isn’t great and there are way too many ice types for a tropical region.

    But Heatmor has a new signature move and the Cubchoo family have a new ability, Slush Rush. And by association, Durant might be added too. Just random speculation, that’s all.

  66. Last year Pokémon SM started leaking 10 days before its actual release. We are now at the 10 day mark for Pokémon USUM. Game store employees already have the games right now, is it only a matter of time before it leaks? (Rhetorical question). I just hope that it doesn’t start leaking or leaks anything significant before the last trailer this Thursday/Friday-which is less than 64 hours away.

    • Well I haven’t seen the movies but if it’s as the article says a vision, it might very well be a manifestation of Ash’s subconscious desire to communicate with Pikachu… I don’t see the big deal… not like the actual Pikachu actually talked in actual life and will actually continue to do so in further movies.

  71. Question about Overwatch (I’m on PS4):

    I started up my game like normal and managed to play a match without any visible signs of lag. All of the sudden my game really started to lag, which I figured it must’ve been the game I was playing in. So I got out of the match and joined another one, but it was the same result each time I joined a new one. About 5 minutes ago I just went on Practice Range to get out of the lag but it was even severely lagging there too.

    My internet’s pretty decent right now, so I don’t understand what it could be. Has this happened to anyone before, or even recently when playing OW?

          • I’m just saying, preorder bonuses should be done away with, and instead replaced with discounts. I’m not sure if that really solves the problem tho

          • True. I tend to take advantage of amazon prime being the lazy 21st century gamer I am!
            Yeah that’s cool. Hope you enjoy it

    • I’m still on the fence. I kind of want to play UM since I played Sun, but at the same time I want to play a game that has the same time as real life is. Where day is day and night is night. I just don’t know.

      • I played Sun but I wanted UM just because I like the night sky theme it has ans I’ve already experienced the Sun.
        However I always will prefer Ho oh, Heatran and Primal groudon as I don’t have OR at the moment! Thats whay swayed me to US

    • I haven’t actually preordered either of them-despite proclaiming that I was going to cancel them multiple times this pre-release season. One of my parents is getting on the day it releases-late birthday present-and I will be able to play it the next day after I fly over. I will be getting the other version later in the Thanksgiving Break week as a gift from another family member. I will probably be getting US first and will get UM later.

        • Yea. I will probably have to start UM some point during Thanksgiving Break just to get the Rockruff that can evolve into its Dusk form. If I am following the same pattern as last time with SM, I won’t be play UM until next summer-well past the time that Rockruff is available.

  83. 4chan riddle

    > Zubatman is Dark.
    > The Prism holds the Magic Number.
    > Rock of Lycan stays as Dawn.
    > Rainbows have traitors in their color.
    > The Almighty Forms and Alternate Forms are the same as previous.
    > Watch the Prism at the Climax of the Ultra Tower (thumbnail).
    > Start of the game holds different scenes.
    > The Prof. of Fusion… *

  84. So it seems the reason the Ultra Recon show up at the festival is because something relating to z powers is there.

  87. Leaks have now started basically. Can we please not post any more till a official article is made? Even tho theres a spoiler tag some people like me cant help our impatient attitudes.

  88. ITS REALLY CALLED CELLBLOX AAAAAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SUCK IT FAIRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  89. So now that leaks have began, I will be leaving now not to get spoiled. As I did this with SM last year, I won’t be returning till approximately 2-3 weeks after the release (which I will be completing the game). Till when I come back, everyone have a good time with leak season an de playing these games.

    Also thank you guys so much for the spoiler tags 😀
