      • 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.

  4. Going to the Metro kingdom tomorrow and i have 107 moons so far. Idk if thats a good amount but i’ve been exploring a lot to my knowledge

  5. sometimes i don’t know why i bother with any tiers…the minute i get on a scizor lands a crit pursuit on my Aerodactyl and kills it getting rid of my only chance to win

  6. 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?

  13. every freaking time i lose, Steelix is just a constant pain, i get a slowbro and what does the jerk have Slowbro and King

  15. 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

  18. 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.

  20. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. 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.

  24. Wow. I haven’t been keeping up with the anime but Ash & Co. will be heading through the Ultra Wormhole on Dec. 7th. I am a bit suprised they are doing this before the two other Grand Trials.
