  1. 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

  4. 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?

  5. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  10. 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!

  13. Im going to make a new region with your rival being a jock and your friend being a nerd and over time the two of the become friends

    Reply

  15. 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!

  18. 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.

  19. 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

  22. 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.

  23. 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

  25. 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
