Fanart yo
Mama mia questo è incredibile :O
Wth Rowlet learns Ominous Wind at lv16 now
DECIDUEYE GETS PHANTOM FORCE??!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING
Really? ……..but he don’t need that it have Spirit Shackle.
Thank the lord!
So what’s the deal with the news tonight? Do we think it will still happen?
It makes me think that they weren’t supposed to put the trailer announcement anyways and that it was a mistake so they removed it. But that’s just me pipe dreaming that we’re gonna get a trailer tho
I guess vikavolt will work here too
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510250959545.png
It’s a bit earlier I guess. I thought it would be here anyway tbh.
Oh yess, no more waiting for 3/4 of the game to evolve some Pkms that you find so early
Yee boi
We just need earlier Glaceon and we’re good
Hmmmmmm maybe I’ll get a Vikavolt
To think starting tomorrow it’s the very last week until USUM, it really makes me think about the last few months everyone was doubtful of the game and now everyone is on board
And now everyone…?
Refresh I hit enter by mistake
im not on board dont assume
Then don’t have a Poipole avatar
I can do whatever I want :3
Like hell you can
dont try me
Try this *Pulls out a Flail*
Are you on the ship, S.S. Anne?
Nah, to be honest only one of the trailers garnered kind any interest from me…
Do you have a brother now or am I seeing things?
Oh look at me im angry ole Earthen.. grrr Fairy types
Well helloooooo handsome
feh.
I like your moxie, you’re hired!
Sometimes it’s good for mental health when u talk to ur self
uh?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! EVERY TIME AGHHHh
*insert 400th Showdown replay in a row here*
Earthen2 id love to keep this bit up but I gotta get back to work
Byeeeeeee!
Hahahaa ….dang
This has gone too far
he told me i couldnt do what i want. so i showed him
I think he seems happy about that ……I will not if I was him
Oh please I’ve been down this road a billion times and the only way to win is to play along
I like strategies…..that’s seem to be dark idea
Seriously any attempt of resistance will immediately backfire on me
But now it’s turned back to you and makes less sense.
This is a community where grown adults (mostly) talk about imaginary creatures that fight each other at our command. When was this site supposed to make sense?
Oh it’s you, I thought it was fairy lol
It was Govnah all along?!
duh
I like Earthen 1 more
Ruddddddddddddde
Wat about Star 2 ……no no this’s not a nice idea forget about it
Awwwww I’ll destroy you last for that
OK this’s not funny. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510245217687.gif
It’s very funny
I can’t find it like that it’s my favorite humanz character in pokemon world.
. Y
wat is that?
Y he your favorite
This is the opposite of not funny
I wonder what his right hand is always doing under there….
U have dirty mind Reece
Heyyyyy….. ?
He only has 1 arm.
That’s what he wants you to think…
Dam u
No but he does have 2, the other is doing important evil business.
Exactly…. ?
HAHAAHAHAAHHA THIS IS INCREDIBLE
OMH
Can someone please give me a link to the move tutors list and who gets them?
Ok you guys, what should my Second Nintendo Switch game purchase be?
I already have Mario Odyssey.. hmmm
BOTW. (Back out of the way) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/30a8e148186262bf2e6d390ac94e4c4a4bcf93f6608ba3456fa7f7d641b3000c.png
Never heard of it.
I’m thinking between … Mario Kart, Zelda, Pokken, and Splatoon
Zelda
Zelda
Zelda
Zelda
Zelda > Splatoon > Mario Kart > Pokken
Though I’d reccomend Stardew Valley as a non Nintendo made game. Just a fantastic game
Y not Pokken!?
It’s just not worth it. Very little content and you’ll have more fun out of the other games. Wait for a price drop in a year
Ok :'(
Dream killer
I played it on Wii U
Never played it again
But seriously. Get Zelda. Game of the year. It’s absolutely incredible. It’s going to change gaming. It’s just such a triumph a game
But I worry it’s just a more serious Mario Odyssey.. both exploration games.. I mean.. I have to be wise if u can only have 2 games for a while…
It’s exploration but in a very different way. I played them both, loved them, both are 10/10s but they still feel very different.
If you still feel like you want to wait, Stardew Valley, Sonic Mania and Splatoon 2 are all fantastic
I reccomend it
Well you also got competitive with it
Trur
If u weren’t competitive.. would u?
I thought that I wouldn’t need this anymore since Auragar has been banned.

Yup
Oh Rollout, this is just one of my most favorite attacks
Earthen fun fact#037
I absolutely adore anything that can curl into a ball and roll around I used to crouch down and roll when I was younger (and skinny but I’m forever fat right now so no can do)
Sandshrews
Armadillos
Technically Sonic’s Spindash
Donphan
Gorons
Mario in odyssey
Golem
That robot from the incredibles
Catastrophic Quaken (a dragon from HTTYD)
did our trainers always do this
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/21ca20c9de5983c493c63407fae0d9a4a96296e9d5f6ab735046075109c5b657.png
A face that shows concern. So the biggest change in this alternate universe is that our character is not a sociopath.
Speak for yourself
They exist
Omg they fixed the biggest flaw in SM
5 stars
I wonder why the rid of the paint like battle screen n health bar….. :/
Was it not ultra enough
Yep
I am trying to build my dark team among Alola…..the kind look like Power Rangers. https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/#incineroar+zoroark+muk-alola+tyranitar+pangoro+greninja
But you’ve missed out the most Power Ranger-like ‘mon, Bisharp.
Never thought of it that way
Dude their’s many fighting move….this’s a risky choice
The next electric legendary made me think Power Rangers for some reason.. I might actually use it ;-;
I felt it belongs to mega man more.
Muk tanks them.
I must say.. it feels cool onowing that I’m holding what the future of Pokemon will be on.. and likely for a long while in my hands already. The only thing that will change is what appears on it’s screen.
Awesome ?
Thanks everyone for your comments on my US team and suggestions for names. Especially for Mimikyu. Currently standing, here is my team and their nicknames.
-Astolfo the Primarina (Male)
-Tombunny the Lopunny
-Bipolar the Magnezone
-Amazon the Lurantis (Totem?)
-Loki the Mimikyu (Totem)
-Nagamodo the Naganadel
Now I know that I was given a lot of great suggestions, however when I was responding to PikaPerfect about how I want a unique nickname for my Mimikyu, Thor had autofilled for one of the words that I mistyped. Then everything just clicked. Both Loki and Mimikyu were individuals that have to be disguised in order for them to be accepted to their respective society. They both want to be accepted by society. Both Fairies and Gods of Mischief are…well known for mischief. Loki and Mimikyu can have there more sinister moments due to the formers allegiances and personality, and the latters ghost typing. This woukdn’t have been possible it weren’t for the thoughtful replies that I had received. Thus, once again I am thankful. And to leave things on a closing tangent, I will give Dae points to whoever is the first one that can figure out the origin/reasoning behind Primarina’s nickname.
Ok.. update. I got Breath of the Wild, And Mario kart 8.. Because You guys couldn’t make up your mind.. I hope you’re proud of yourselves! ?
Thanks for talking me out of Pokken and Splatoon as well…
POKKENS FUN DUDE ;~;
Maybe in the future… Do they update the characters like the arcade version?
They’re updated to current arcade stats yes
Do this for me, the very second you walk out into the real world in breath of the wild, JUMP OFF THE CLIFF
Oohh.. secret tunnel passage?? ???
No you just die
I did that the very moment I got outside
What better way to start a great adventure with a plummeting death
Good, for 3rd party games, I say get DOOM, Skyrim, and LA Noire. LA Noire imo is a great game, and you should totally get it to show RockStar and 2K we all Switch owners would LOVE Grand Theft Auto V on the go.
I’m getting Skyrim I think.. never played it. Well Any of those games but all have interested me in the past when I had a PS4
I have both a Switch and PS4. Frankly speaking, I now only use my PS4 for big RPG’s like Horizon Zero Dawn or Persona 5 and Witcher III. In all I love it, but my Switch sees more love like my 3DS since I am on the go more so with my career choice, so Skyrim and etc. there is great. Also try Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Seems really fun.
OMG Amazon Prime took $108 out my account without me knowing!!!!!
Enjoy

Fairies got played Dirty! My poor Togetic..
Thank you! Happy to see togedemaru got some good physical steel moves!
Should’ve had them anyway tbh.
Agreed 100 percent. Tried using it in one of my original teams and was so annoyed when I found out the only physical steel move it had was gyro ball.
That’s what put me off it too. I think it should’ve got Smart Strike too.
It was pretty much dedenne all over again. Dedenne only has access to one fairy move and that’s play rough. When it’s a special attacker. That said at least they gave something to togedemaru now. May use it in a future playthrough now!
Dedenne really should have Dazzling Gleam, it makes no sense not to. I am planning on using Togedemaru in future, not in US though as I’m already using Alolan Raichu.
They need to really think the move sets through better in new gens. Delphox comes to mind. It’s a mage it should learn a lot of special attacks. Stuff like thunderbolt and dazzling gleam. At least it got the latter in Oras I suppose!
I see Marshadow ;3
Ok now I need one for every other gen :3
I want to see if there’s any good egg move I know that Litten can learn Power Trip but wat else?
Kurusu would appreciate my Naganadel name
What is it?
Sectonia
Why would Kurusu especially like it?
Kirby character, he likes Kirby
Oh I see, I have never played a Kirby game.
Oh that’s a nice one, I remember commenting early how much it reminded me of Sectonia
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5962d840d8083919d0d93478d66309f3f6a273233b4988a2ec79a500cad7803a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4d50347887c9250268d3fac64eecc97252daf0d5bb3482936f157b40ef81d8d9.jpg
That’s a really cute hair style…
Are the hair styles unisex yet?
Can I be Boruto?
Since I see some team comments, I’m gonna make my own!
So for US, I am doing the rest of Alolan mons I have yet to use with the exception of Litten 😛
Litten, Rockruff (Dusk), Mimikyu (I’m gonna breed one and transfer it over like after the first trial so I can use it more), Passimian, Wishwashi, and Morelull
As for UM, it’s gonna be a SBQ where I get two before Kahuna battle (exception is the 2 extras which will be before the league and not before hapu) and they are
Popplio, Noibat, Mareep, Bounsweet, Sandygast, and Houndour (with the two ‘extras’ being Mienfoo and Drampa) I might do one more to celebrate being the BQ by SRing a UB or legend but we’ll see lol
I have yet to come up with nicknames, but that’s cause life has been busy
I can provide a Mimikyu egg if you want.
Ok so this is my planned team so far for Ultra Sun:
1. Pikachu (Nature: Lonely) Holding Pikanium Z
Moves: Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Electro Ball, Volt Tackle
2. Decidueye (Nature: Jolly) Holding Deciduium Z
Moves: Spirit Shackle, Leaf Blade, Roost, Phantom Force
3. Incineroar (Nature is either Brave or Naughty) Holding Incinium Z (depending when we get it)
Moves: Darkest Lariat, Fire Punch, Revenge, Flare Blitz
4. Samurott (Nature: Either Naive or Hasty) Holding Waterium Z
Moves: Razor Shell, Swords Dance, Aqua Jet, Sacred Sword
5. Lycanroc {Dusk Form} (Nature: Adamant) Holding Lycanium Z
Moves: Accelrock, Iron Tail, Fire Fang, Stone Edge
6. Noivern (Nature: Modest) Holding…IDK yet
Moves: Dragon Pulse, Air Slash, Flamethrower, Draco Meteor
My main theme of this team is basically eveyone has a signiture move, and each of them has a big finisher move. Cannot wait till my exams are up in 2 weeks to try this team lol
A few things to say:
Incineroar – Unless it’s for personality reasons Adamant is better, without special moves you might as well not lower speed or special defense.
Samurott – Again unless for personality you’re better off Jolly or Adamant with those moves.
Noivern – I think Timid is better.
Its just for purely fun, so the first 2 are kinda having natures that would fit their….style? I assume Hasty suits a Samurai better. The Modest nature was recommended to me by Earthen here, and by the looks of it, its speed is OK compared to its Sp. Atk that needs a bit of work. But to each his own 😉
Most likely gonna be a real method now

Ultra Wormhole method
omg did not know that!!! it’s crazy really
Shiny Yanmega <3
The thing is that you don’t seem able to control what you get.
which is fine
I’m extremely excited about this. I just hope the chances aren’t TOO high because I want a bit of a challenge.
Its hard to control the legend
That means if you see a hole that may have something it’ll be EXTREMELY frustrating if you miss it……..Oy……..
Lol people from different sites think Kommo-o saying ‘Souu-nd’ is just GameFreak being too lazy to change a placeholder
Yay, I got him 🙂

Congratulations! I can’t wait to start shiny hunting the UB’s and Ultra wormhole legendaries
Thanks 🙂 Me too, I hope it’s not too hard.
