Mimikyu’s Z-Move Revealed + Second Chance Cap Pikachu!

The official Japanese Pokémon channel on YouTube has uploaded a video of Mimikyu’s new Z-Move which is exclusive the upcoming games Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. It is accessible with a new Mimikyu Z-Crystal and powers up the move Play Rough to become Let’s Snuggle Forever.

In addition, Japanese and North American players can get the original-style Cap Pikachu with code PIKACHUM20 until November 23rd! This works even if you received a different Cap Pikachu during the previous event!

      • To be honest, I’m not sure. This was a paid promotion in Japan so they may be giving it as a one-time thing for those who didn’t see the movie. I wouldn’t count on all the hats coming around again if this is redeemable separately from those.

    • Given the merch hints it looks like at some point they may receive a Z ring. So maybe she finds this Z crystal at some point too?

  1. Well…huh. I guess I’ll download a second original cap Pikachu because I can? Since we’re on the topic, if anyone has any cap Pikachu that isn’t the original or Sinnoh I’d be interested. I don’t have much faith that the others will be distributed again.

    • Uptill the first trial only. Pretty much the same game. So disappointed uptill now. Good thing I’ve played sumo only one time so this is easier for me to through

  2. Mimikyu’s Exclusive Z-Move

    Mimikyu’s exclusive Z-Move is called Let’s Snuggle Forever! Mimikyu will be able to use this Fairy-type Z-Move if it knows the move Play Rough and is given a piece of the exclusive Z-Crystal Mimikium Z to hold.

    Up until now, Mimikyu’s Play Rough could be powered up into the Z-Move Twinkle Tackle if Mimikyu was holding a piece of Fairium Z. Twinkle Tackle was a powerful Z-Move in its own right. But the Let’s Snuggle Forever Z-Move that can be unleashed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, thanks to the addition of the new Mimikium Z, is a hugely powerful move that outshines even Twinkle Tackle. Don’t let its cute appearance fool you!

    When Mimikyu’s wishes are in sync with its Trainer’s, it comes up behind its target, enveloping it in the cloth that it wears. Then it uses its full power to show its opponent a little “tough love.”

    Have Mimikyu hold a piece of Mimikium Z and use this new exclusive Z-Move to show your rivals that you’re on a different level!

  3. I’ve been trying to hatch a shiny houndour for the past two weeks and its draining my soul. BTW it only took me a day to hatch a shiny chickorita :-{

    Reply
        • You Masuda breed Magikarp instead of the ‘mon you want as it hatches much faster.
          Step 1: Have a foreign pokemon (preferably Ditto) and your Magikarp. Save before putting them in the daycare.
          Step 2: Put them in and breed a box of eggs, DO NOT SAVE.
          Step 3: Remove the Magikarp once you have a box and Hatch the eggs.
          Step 4: Is there a shiny ‘karp in one of the eggs? Make a note of which number egg it hatched at, DO NOT SAVE. If there isn’t one then you can save and repeat from Step 1.
          Step 5: Soft reset, this time put the ‘mon you want in with a foreign ‘mon (Ditto is still easiest). Breed eggs up to the one you got the shiny ‘karp at. This time it will hatch shiny in the same place as the ‘karp did.

          Ditto is best because gender and egg groups are irrelevant. If I didn’t explain it very well I can find the better guide. There’s also stuff to do with egg rejection but it’s more complicated and mostly helps getting IVs, abilities and gender you want.

  4. So I am carefully thinking of typing up a little info box of stuff found in USUM and posting it up by later today. It will for the most part contain little to no spoilers, and may help some planing for teams and etc. If anyone thinks its an good idea, do tell.

  5. Your favorite Z-Move now that we know then all? Can be Pokémon exclusive or just type general

    That said, Let’s Snuggle Forever or Light That Burns the Sky

    Reply
  6. Speaking of Z-Moves, I feel that the exclusive Z-Moves actually feel like ultimate versions of their base moves. In Sun and Moon, whilst all the moves shared aspects of their original move, they don’t feel like a straight progression and just feel like another similar move or another way of using the same move.

    Reply
  7. Okay that has to be the funniest z move yet lol I really need to use a mimikyu in the future. That said who is everyone picking for their starter in USUM? I am picking litten no questions asked. Probably an unpopular opinion but I absolutely love incineroar. I may be biased though since I am a huge wrestling fan lol

    Reply
      • Popplio is pretty good actually. And I may be tempted to use one of the other starters. Mainly treecko (easily my favorite Pokémon line of all time)

        Reply
          • It was the first Pokémon I ever used so it holds a special place for me because of that. And I tend to use a different set than most people, I always have it as a physical attacker because of it having access to so many good physical moves plus leaf blade is an awesome move.

  8. So, if I’m getting this right, there’s only 1 Gym in the entire post-game and it sorta acts like a Cafe from Hau’oli City, where you rebattle the trainers daily? If anyone knows anything about this, help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  9. So to people complaining that USUM don’t offer as much as they wanted it to. Are we forgetting about how Platinum is essentially the same game as DP? It’s got minor upgrades that only sort of change the story yet everyone LOVES it. Meanwhile everyone I’ve seen that is complaining about USUM is complaining because it’s not as new of a story as BW2………This is what 3rd version have always been like. The story was never going to be so different that it was brand new. I think over the last 9 years people have forgotten what it really means for there to be a 3rd version game…….

    Reply
    • Tbf, it’s less ‘USUM sucks compared to Platinum’ and more ‘USUM shouldn’t exist because third versions are an outdated business platform’

      Reply
      • See that’s a valid reason to hate it hahaha I was most upset over it when they first announced it because over the last few years they had said that 3rd versions were like you said outdated and boring/predictable. Not the nature of it in general. It just seemed like a flipflop

        Reply
        • DP has objective problems that hold it back.

          The pacing, the story, the speed (it takes like 49 seconds from being spotted by a trainer to choosing your attack) and the dex are awful.

          Platinum fixed the pacing, improved the story by actually giving Cyrus a character, sped it up a bit (it’s still slow but not nearly as bad) and added way more options to the dex that made it the best dex in the series at the time

          Reply
          • Well I hope they bring all these improvements to the remakes because if I have to play through DP again with such a limited dex and terrible pacing I will kill someone…….(not really XP)

          • I sure hope so. But I will agree, only 2 fire type lines was odd. But it didn’t really phase me seeing I actually got only Platinum. If anyone is curious why I skipped DP, 2 words: High School lol

          • I would argue that USUM has a better Dex than Platinum just imo, but I overall do agree that Platinum solved more than USUM, even if USUM adds more. USUM adds a lot of stuff that is nice as a bonus, but wasn’t wanted or needed.

            I’m happy with USUM as third versions, but I’m not happy that they’re third versions if that make sense? Alola, like Unova, imo needed a sequel. XY needed a third version.

      • Actually not true. Most people agree that Diamond and Pearl suck. But Platinum is what brings out the good in Sinnoh. Platinum and HGSS are the best, Diamond and Pearl was a stepping stone to get there

        Reply
        • DP if I recall had a lot of graphical issues as well as glitches and frame rate problems. Oh, and Surf was slower than Slopoke ordering at McDonalds.

    • Here’s a major problem

      It’s two games. The only other time we have gotten two games that weren’t Remakes or the start of a gen were B2W2 which was totally new.

      If this was Pokémon Stars or Pokémon Eclipse, no one would care. But our notions of a third version split up into two is B2W2 and not Platinum. People expect more.

      Gamefreak’s greed has fucked them over in the end because people are confused

      Reply
      • While I won’t say it’s NOT greed I will say at the very least there’s a cohesive reason for it being two games. If they had never implemented the 12 hour time shift between SM then they could very well have made a single 3rd version. It’s more a problem of the mechanic they stuff themselves with than anything else. they wouldn’t have had a reason to make 2 if it wasn’t for that tie shift.

        Reply
    • Its funny, but the community I am in are very ooen, and go as far to ask Chuggaconroy aka Emile what he thinks, since he defends things not well liked like for a time Okami, Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness, and ironically Platinum. I cannot wait till he gets to gen 5, because I actually know he wasn’t too much of a fan of ironically B2W2 but LOVES BW.

      Reply
    • Yeah thing is, Platinum (and Emerald) were 1 game that combined the stories of the initial pair and improved them. Meanwhile, USUM’s plot changes from SM were made just for the sake of it and turn the story into a complete nonsense. Also, Lusamine’s character is completely ruined/contradictory.

  11. Third versions are elaboration – games with core issues like DP got fixed with Platinum

    Sequels are addition – games like BW with little to no core issues (at least for the main game) getting a continuation

    Games that suited third versions: DP, XY

    Games that suited sequels: BW, SuMo

    Just a kinda explanation for people who don’t get why people are upset about USUM but wanted Z

    Reply
    • I mean, I’m upset we don’t have Z. And SM made it seem pretty evident that a Z was planned, and supposedly scrapped late into develooment, and the only logical assumption I can really make was that Nintendo showed them the Switch then called Project NX.

      Reply
        • I think it’d do good for GameFreak to get some fresh staff in tbh, USUM seems harder than SuMo and has better original tracks imo so imagine what that would be like with veterans working alongside them to create a totally new game

          Reply
        • Wouldn’t blame them. But I kinda knew the Switch was set to replace the current mold seeing Nintendo knows more handheld wise. And the best selling games on it since they came were Pokemon games nearing the top, with only really Smash and Animal Crossing for some time after their respective releases. Also cannot help but think GF may have helped influence some things for Switch.

          Reply
    • You know, this is a very good way to look at it. Hats off to you. I can still enjoy USUM while wishing it was a sequel instead. Or just wishing that Sun and Moon had the story of USUM from the beginning so that a sequel to Sun and Moon could have taken USUM’s place and been even better

      Reply
  12. Low key won’t spoil, but from word of mouth, earning money in USUM is REALLY easy, and they really don’t want you to be poor lol

    Reply
  13. Tbh, my favorite thing about USUM is that it fixes the worse totems.

    Replaced Salazzle for a Marowak that summons Salazzles, allowing for a cool Detect/Torment Combo that lets Marowak avoid your Pokémon’s super effective move if you only used one.

    >Replaced Vikavolt with Togedemaru, who actually utilises its ally well because it’ll take Electric attacks aimed at Skarmory. Skarmory also sets up Stealth Rock to hurt your team.

    > Kommo-o uses its higher attack stat and its allies are no longer grossly underlevelled
    I believe its first helper is Scizor with technician bullet punch.

    If you don’t overgrind or use the Exp Share, I can find many struggling with this game in a positive way.

    Reply
  14. So jumping off of the 3rd version conversation I honestly think that starting next gen they’ll stop it with “versions” altogether. I think they’ll finally make the jump to a single game. They may make sequels or whatever, but I don’t see them charging $60 per game and then doing version exclusives.

    Reply
    • Wouldn’t cross my mind if GameFreak released Gen 8 games, then released an Expansion Pack like Zelda did, adding the Episodes as Post Game we already saw.

      Reply
      • Yeah I could definitely see that. Also to kind of amend my exclusives part I could see them making the game so that it auto generates a specific set of Pokemon from a list. So my game would generate one half of the specific list and yours would generate the other half. That way they could still play up the whole trade with friends idea

        Reply
        • True but I’m oretty sure they will stick to the old formula. I just hope if they do, that they are priced right. Then again as of this gen I only got 1 game each, and both are digital (Moon and now Ultra Sun). Also I have a kinda theory of where the next games maybe based on via a few factors, but thats a different thing lol

          Reply
  15. So we get a plot hole solved in USUM

    In SuMo, Poni has been without a Kahuna for years, meaning no one to look over the trial.

    In USUM, Nanu overlooked Ula’ula and Poni

  16. Why does Splatoon keep putting splatfests on days that also have major game releases.

  17. As much as I love Mimikyu, its Z-move is a huge disappointment. It could’ve been way cooler. But then again, Z-moves are lame anyway and I probably won’t use it either way

  18. I finally powered through it and cleaned out my Pokebank. It’s such a good feeling. I tend to horde pokemon that have sentimental memories behind them even though I know I’ll never use them again. It’s just stupid and a waste of space. So I gave it up and released like 30 boxes of junkmons. So now transferring my living dex will be wayyyyy easier. Woop!

  19. To this day I’m still furious about Decidueye and prims hidden abilities. Both of them are utter garbage

    Reply
      • Yes, it is unfortunately because there are rare cases where you’ll actually outspeed something you beat and be able to kill it with a grass move. The literal only mons long reach are useful against are ferrothron and rocky helmeters but even than you can use spirit shackle to avoid contact regardless

        ACTUALLY I WOULD HAVE LOVED TECHNICIAN FOR THAT SHADOW SNEAK BUT OF COURSE NOT

  20. No but seriously Decidueye’s ability actually infuriates the fucc out of me. It’s speed hinders the SHITt out of it and a better ability could at least make up for it

  22. Oh sorry for bringing this up out of the blue, but one thing I’ve been wondering about and didn’t fully think about was the quests that happen after the main story. They made it sound like there are a lot of mini things to do after you beat it. Without telling me anything too spoiler-y can anyone say how fun/interesting said quests are?

    Reply
    • That basically sounds like it. Seems to me everyone says they’re fine games, but the fact they’re in 2 rather than just a single version everyone is in an uproar.

      Reply
      • Yeah… to be admit after I learned about the way the legends were handled I felt that way too…

        …although if they actually made the mascots something besides fusion material things would be better

      • If people like certain weasels you find here dislike it being 2 games and not one, then what difference does it make to them. Just buy one, no one is forcing you to buy both. Negative sheeps.

        Reply
        • No one is forcing anyone to buy both, but they’re allowed to criticise the business model. If the person only plans on buying one but still thinks it’s a bad business model because it removes content from games, I’m bound to agree with them.

          Reply
          • From TPC and GF point of view it’s not just about making good games it’s also about making money.
            If this strategy works for them then it’s expected they will continue to use it.
            That’s fine it’s the negative people who go on about it till no end. As you said they aren’t forcing you!
            How are you anyways Fairy??

          • The mentality of “well, it works for them, so why complain” and “it’s always been going on” are the kind that allow this greed to continue..staying silent does nothing about it. Sorry, I’m not trying to attack you.

          • I agree we should not let GF rest but IMO not with the split games. That’s a minor issue. We don’t have to buy both games.
            Issues like post game, gameplay features, BF are IMO where they should be pressured.
            No it’s totally cool. I respect your opinions ans agree with most :]
            You’re constructive in what you say unlike others.

          • Except you’re just… wrong

            People who buy both aren’t going to buy two of any other game. They arent going to buy two copies of Odyssey, or Zelda or anything else.

            They buy two pokemon games because of the version differences and that is bad for consumers and has no reason to exist especially when we have the GTS

            You are locking encountering certain pokemon behind a 40$ pay wall. That is worse than DLC.

          • Exactly and I have said it’s not beneficial for us consumers.
            Sure I’ll gladly accept the discontinuation of split games come gen 8.
            However as an individual I will make the choice to buy one and not bother about the other. The same choice every individual is able to make.

          • Are you brain dead? I’m not saying that people are forced to buy both. I’m saying that there shouldn’t be two versions to begin with. THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT THAT ISN’T FUELED BY GREED

          • It seems to me that you are forgetting that GF, TPC etc are businesses. Businesses operate and exist on profit. If they want to make split games to make more money then that’s a strategy they will use if they feel it’s necessary. Nothing wrong with them “trying” to make more money. What’s wrong going by your logic is you succumbing to your desires and buying both versions.
            If you disagree with GF then you know as the saying goes, close the door on your way out.

          • I don’t need to do anything.
            You however need to reread my posts and understand what I’m saying. You have a tendency to cling onto parts of my comment ignoring the other parts. You won’t make a good law judge would you.
            I have already stated I’d be happy to see the end of split games. That they are not beneficial for consumers.
            Basically what you’re saying!
            Do you want me to go all caps action hero like you, then maybe you’ll understand?

          • It may be a cash grab, but is it really the worst thing? It’s also to get people with the other game to communicate to get more people connected

            Not saying they can’t do wrong, but you show that you think they can do no right sometimes

          • I am very nice and laid back generally but when attacked I’m vicious like a Lion.
            Oh and another thing IRL or on here. I defend the person who is right even if that means going against my friend. If im not sure then I’ll be equal to both.
            Why? Simply because it’s the cordial and respectful way of dealing with issues.
            Words of advice friend :]

          • I’m not going to say anything or defend myself. Just read the entire conversation between me and her on this post. That is all!
            Also I know you mean well dude dont worry you’re one of the cooler peepz on here :]

          • I read it man, I just want you to stop going after star. Like sometimes you bring her up in topics where she isn’t even involved. That’s not okay, hence why I feel the need to comment on you not being nice. That’s exactly why

          • When she returned from her break she was cool,I was cool. Everything was cool. Everything went pear shape with the way she speaks to me. She even says she doesn’t want to be my friend, saying im fake etc
            Honestly if she treats me with respect I will never say anything bad against her. If she speaks rude as she did above asking me if I’m brain dead?Is that how you speak to people?
            If she says things like that then you should be speaking to her too.
            Anyways thanks for understanding, I appreciate that.
            I’ll be going now, take care everyone!

          • Because my context was not literal. Sorry starstorm but I would never want you to drown yourself. Come on now that’s a very extreme thing to say.
            Please don’t start a fight. I’m not looking for one and also have stuff to do in ORAS.

          • Hahaha are you that obsessed about me that you keep these meaningless screenshots.
            Who are you trying to fool?
            I said nothing wrong up there. You just lack comprehension skills and emotional control.
            When I say don’t drown yourself that means don’t lose yourself in your negativity.
            Lmao grow up.

          • I keep these screenshots for situations like these when you are so full of bullshit that I gotta make sure the world understands just how much bullshit there really is.

            People here know me. I’ve been on the site for 3+ years. I’ve dealt with Earthen from 3 years ago. If you’re going to try to act like im antagonizing you for no reason then honestly I think that will be too much bullshit I won’t be able to handle it.

            You are the only person here I consistently have issues with. I don’t have these issues with anyone else. At a point you gotta ask if I’m the one causing issues here.

          • I tried being your friend the other day to which you replied you don’t want to be my friend coz im this and that. I’ve always tried with you,sometimes I purposely bring up sinnoh as I know you like it.
            It doesn’t matter if you’re here for 3 or 5 years. You might be a good person but that doesn’t justify your behaviour asking me if im brain dead. Is that how you talk to people?
            I even said please dont start a fight then waht do you do post screenshots to prove how bad I am lmao what am I Voldemort?
            I mean that says everything.
            You’re a good person at heart im sure but you can be very disrespectful at times. Please grow up.
            I shall take my leave as I am not interested in wasting my energy on arguments.
            See you tomorrow.

          • You’re getting involved because you want to defend your friend at all costs without looking at who is right or wrong. You’ve been attacking me even when it’s clear im trying to leave and avoid the fight and shes provoking me.
            What kind of a friend are you??
            If you was a true friend you’d tell us both to calm down. You’ve got a lot of learning to do boy.

          • This is where Govnah makes his Cameo in the arguement. but just end it, you guys wont stop unless one of you guys stop. so just stop

          • Yeah I said i don’t want to be your friend because I don’t. You attack people who aren’t excited for a damn video game, you put on a facade of niceness, you continue to harass me and the pokemon I like in a way that isn’t relevant at all, you do all of this sh*t that people see and they dont like it but they dont say anything. Yet I’m the evil monster because i point it out and you want to keep that image of yourself

            Here’s a hint. if you want people to think you’re a good person. Be a good person

          • Lmao I come here coz let me see uh I like Pokemon and wanna share my enjoyment with others like yourself.
            You seem to think im fake, I want people to think this and that. How does any of this benefit me? Being fake or making myself seem good.
            No. I don’t harass anyone. I disagree with opinions because I can. Freedom of speech. Get used to it.
            You need to take it easy and just let go of this negative image you have of me. Honestly its all rubbish.
            Okay perhaps I’ve been harsh at times but you cant deny yourself either.
            You’ve got me all wrong. If I disagree it doesnt mean I hate you.
            I mean im over 20 in age. I’m not a 12 year old emotional wreckage lol so please for crying out loud just let go and lets continue onto positive times.
            I really really hope you can and we can be friends if this wont work then I dont know what will!
            Plz say yes!

          • Ok you’re basically using every opportunity to take a jab at me. You’re basically trying to provoke me.
            I’m sorry but I tried being patient with you, telling you to look at both sides. In response you’ve jumped me and basically even if im an angel at this point you’ll still defend her. On that note I’m done with you, you’re irrelevant.

          • Oh come on storm we both know whats happening here.
            Seraph as always is coming to your rescue fighting your battles lmao
            I’ve tried reasoning with him but he is as immature as you are.

          • Just shut up already. I literally just told you before to go. if your gonna leave just leave stop commenting, you saying your the biggest person yet your aruging with teenagers, TEENAGERS, who seems to listen better then your 20 year old self. Just go already clearly nobody wants to deal with you rn yet you keep going, just stop and they will stop. just go god damn im tired of the flood of stubborn people on this site

          • I am trying to go but she’s provoking me and sending me replies.
            If you are here to stop us from arguing then you should be telling her not me as I am doing my utmost to leave in peace and she isn’t letting me. If you read the comments thats clear to see. I don’t understand why you’re having a go at me when im the one trying to bury the hatchet.

          • You are fake. You’re fake because for some reason you are so concerned about people seeing you as this happy awesome nice person that you straight up tell people that you are nice and awesome.

            You do harass people. Usually me. But I’m the one who is starting fights

            You don’t just disagree with people. You call them babies and “weasels”

            Freedom of speech doesn’t mean what you think it means. If people think you’re a pr*ck freedom of speech cant stop that

            And you continue to downplay by anger towards you by belittling me and my age. Honestly it’s kind of incredible that I call you out for all of this sh*t and you come back with “but she didn’t want to be my friend ;~;”
            I thought i was supposed to be the immature child here.

            And no. I’m not going to be your damn friend. You have harassed me, antagonized me, insulted me and belittled me. I don’t need a friend like you. If you want to own up to your sh*t and change the way you act, maybe we can reconsider.

          • Bloody hell there’s no getting through to you. What you need to realise is although I’m offering to bury that hatchet and would LIKEE if we are friends, I will not beg to be your friend.
            You’re too emotional and suspicious. No I am not a good person I’ve never claimed to be. I make mistakes too. You’re overreacting on everything I say. Grow up.
            If you don’t wanna be friends suit yourself I will not lose a second from my sleep HOWEVER say in a few weeks you wanna be friends sure im always here.
            Okay im going to sleep now, don’t think too much on this now or you’ll go brain dead.
            Sorry for any mistakes I’ve made because yes I made a few too.

          • I’m not sure if I should take you seriously at this point.
            I’m saying I’m nice as in easy going chilled doesn’t mean I’m saying that I’m good.
            Surely even you would understand that.
            You’re basically using every opportunity to attack me despite my attempts to avoid an argument.
            Okay cool. Keep it up.

          • She’s putting words in my mouth.
            I said don’t drown yourself metaphorically. Never once said kill.
            Very poor move on her part.

          • Look below. I specifically said to her please don’t start a fight and she’s throwing serious accusations at me and provoking me.
            If you wanted evidence,here it is.

          • Nope. When I say something it’s a continuation of her abusive and disrespectful behaviour from earlier.
            Have you ever seen me say anything in this manner to anyone else?

          • Is he now?
            Shall I bring up how nice of you it is to say things like “Unlike other people”
            I’m not sure if you’re aware but that’s called “throwing shade” and its when you attempt to insult others without directly mentioning them.
            I think we can see it, we aren’t blind

          • Honestly… I hate no one here, but I can say I love everyone here (except the trolls who usually are dispelled from here)

            But I see no one person as better than the others as we are all people so we are all equal here (except maybe Ultron for being a robot, but oh well) so in a way your all equally my friends (I would also never want a burned bridge in the future with friends)

          • I would say Persona did the same thing with Persona 2:Eternal Punishment and Persona 2:Innocent Sin, buy Innocent Sin is technically a sequel to Eternal Punishment, so yeah.

          • I’m not trying to pick a fight with her (And I know you know that, I’m just saying), but there a quite a few games with split versions. Another Atlus title being Robopon for the Game Boy Color (Granted, they only released Sun in the US, while Moon and Star remained in Japan).

          • Wow well done on your research.
            It’s better to check your facts before you make statements.
            I mean unless you want to look like a fool xD im loving this!

          • I didn’t even make a mistake. The two examples mentioned are only doing the dual version thing because pokemon did it.

            Even if they weren’t, Pokemon is still the only game series to be this successful and do dual versions for all of their main line games

          • It’s more a 2-part storyline rather than 2 versions of the same story like Pokemon. Even if Atlus did copy them, it wasn’t entirely the same formula as Pokemon. Not to mention, Persona and Pokemon are 2 entirely different beasts. Not trying to start an argument, I’m just saying

          • But how is it not? Mario was one of if not the first sidescroller and many followed it

            Yet Pokémon started making two versions and a few followed that mind set, but unlike Mario games who followed this are copying

            Not trying to argue, I just simply don’t understand where I’m making a mistake…

            Also just remembered that Digimon also did the versions thing, but more of a sense of two halves of the same coin as everything is the same (you can catch the same digimon), but different as well (takes place in two different worlds and gameplay is altered at certain spots)

          • I’m not claiming anything.
            What I am saying is read entire post before making judgements.
            That’s not very nice,I thought we were making progress. Pfft.

          • I try to be. The thing about it is that dual versions works for me because I keep one as a hub and replay the other. But at the $60 price hike it’s about to take on? I really don’t want to have to buy both versions for $120. That’s just too much for me.

        • I will copy and paste my response to this from earlier

          “Here’s a major problem
          It’s two games. The only other time we have gotten two games that weren’t Remakes or the start of a gen were B2W2 which was totally new.
          If this was Pokémon Stars or Pokémon Eclipse, no one would care. But our notions of a third version split up into two is B2W2 and not Platinum. People expect more.
          Gamefreak’s greed has fucked them over in the end because people are confused”

          There is absolutely no reason to split the games up. If anything it just makes them worse. Gamefreak deserves all of the criticism thrown at them because 10~ years after the creation of the GTS they continue to make two versions with hardly enough content difference to justify it. It is bad for consumers.

          Reply
          • It just doesn’t seem like a format that would fit a home consoles so let’s f*cking hope not. They should consider that $20 upcharge for the game (not to mention those who have to buy a switch) enough money for them.

          • And ya know, if they dont scale the games up to be deserving of a full price console 60$ price tag then they are still hungry for money.

            It better deserve raising the price 40$

          • That’s wishful thinking, my dude. No way they sell a switch game for less than $60. Which is why they need to stop 2 versions.

          • I agree with largely what you’re saying.
            As consumers it does not benefit us rather it seems inefficient. However;
            Split games does NOT put us at a major disadv’ when the only noteworthy differences are excl mons.
            If differences were PWT in one game and BF in other then yeah, that’s harmful greed.
            We’re not being forced to buy both and buying one does not put us at a disadvantage.
            There are bigger fishes to fry IMO like gameplay quality or as you say they need to take risks.

          • It doesn’t matter. No other game company on the planet does this. There is absolutely no reason. And it’s not like this will take a long time to fix. It literally means just not making two games.

            If anything it should be better for them since they don’t have to go through the trouble of releasing two games

          • The switch presents a good chance in that happening. It all depends on GF now.
            I highly doubt they’ll abandon it unless switch hardware etc gives them a reason to change or maybe make one game at a slightly hugher price.

    • I think that’d fix like a quarter of the criticism

      The remaining three quarters are the content of the games and the fact that we didn’t even need third versions for Alola

      • Really? Why did I get my hopes up that they would actually fix story and character problems from SM? Between this and Lillie being a fairy specialist, my approval is diminishing once again….

          Reply
          • well those are all nice things. I’m looking forward to the new features and stuff, but honestly the story was what I was most looking forward to. Lillie being forced on us as a fairy trainer because she’s a cute girl is so dumb and overlaps with Mina.

          • Battle Tree =/= ‘forced upon’

            And it makes sense because the two Pokémon she’s associated with besides Nebby are Fairies or end up fairies anyway.

          • unless I’m mistaken, isn’t she only really associated with clefairy because of the doll/her mom using clefable and nihilego? And I guess vulpix, but that’s from the anime

          • Her most treasured possession? I think it’s fair to say that it causes a strong association with her and that Pokémon.

            Although anime =/= game, the anime still influences the game in certain regards.

          • Well definitely, like I think Clefable just makes sense as one of her team members, but is that really enough for it to base an entire team around type-wise? :/

        • It does fix character issues, it’s just that they fixed the character issues for characters that had major roles anyway. Side characters besides maybe Mina and Molayne weren’t really expanded.

          Reply
          • not asking for story spoilers, but how can you regress a character whose motivations were already so unclear and undeveloped??!!?

          • I like Lusamine more because they scaled her back. She’s not as far gone as she is in Ultra Sun and Moon, because SuMo made it sound like she absolutely hated her children before she’s beaten as Mother Beast whereas USUM makes it far more clear she loves her children, she’s just far from being in a good mental state.

          • I liked it too.. just… she still had Lillie kidnapped… and she must have had Aether go after her…. it just makes some of her actions make zero sense. I like her otherwise

          • Lusamine needed Cosmog because it’s a more efficient way of mass transportation than its evolution. Solgaleo and Lunala have to physically carry the things through the wormhole, whereas Cosmog can seemingly make a wormhole to wherever it wishes and takes someone there.

            The Recon Squad teamed up with Lusamine in order to send a mass of strong trainers through to beat Necrozma. Their legend alone wouldn’t be enough for this because by the time they get everyone through Necrozma may of awakened anyway.

          • That’s a huge shame. But Mina and Molayne were at least characters I wanted to know more about. I don’t get why Plumeria doesn’t redevelop Po town and train Skull Grunts there to take on the trial challenge for a post game story for her…it works so well with the story imo

          • I think everything Plumeria needed was there already in Sun and Moon. She was a villain, she gets a believable redemption, and she even gets a Z-Ring by the end. I feel like USUM could’ve expanded this and it’s ashame it doesn’t because it’s all there. Hell, an Alola sequel would’ve been far better for this tbh, so I’m sad USUM was chosen over that.

          • Yeah, pretty much, she just needed some more time on screen to make her more memorable I guess. I REALLY want her to be one of my favs but she just doesn’t have enough time or a big enough role. If you remove her from the story, nothing really changes… :/

  23. Star just made me realize something

    Digimon Dusk and Dawn are kinda weird in terms of differences

    – They have no version exclusive Digimon (except Lunamon and Coronamon)
    -Instead whatever game you have depends on which half of the world you live on
    -Changes your starter sets
    -Changes the gameplay to somewhat weird lengths
    -Changes which digimon are in your area
    – First mission is decided on version, but you get the other area right after

    • Honestly when I record I just use my iPhone 7 plus. It has a decent back camera and the front one isn’t terrible either. It can shoot in 4K altho I don’t shoot anything in THAT high a res.I also have a CAD usb mic for VO stuff and a hand stand for my phone. I’d recommend getting a stand that has an adjustable height in some way. Mine can be broken apart so I can choose how tall it is. Can’t remember what it’s called tho sorry. Got it off Amazon tho.

      If I ever get a good amount of money tho I’ll likely look into getting a better camera. One that’s specifically for shooting decent picture. Wallet is a little empty most of the time due to bills tho haha

  30. One of the things I really want as someone who breeds Pokemon alot is a screen to keep track of how many eggs I have in my party. I used to use the Super Training screen for it and in gen 4 the Poketch had a screen where you could view your party. So many times I’ve not been paying full attention and have been running around far longer than necessary because I hadn’t realised all my eggs had hatched. It’s a relatively minor thing but one that would benefit me at least quite a bit.

  34. So, with the reveal of Fighter Pack 3 (Injustice 2), they revealed that the TMNT will be in that pack. They don’t reveal whether they’ll be one character or 4 individual characters, but considering Leonardo says “We fight as a team” and the other are behind Leo when the DLC characters are shown walking forward at the end, it could be the former. And, along with them, we’re getting Enchantress and The Atom too, but the TMNT is what I’m really excited about

  35. Alright I’ve got 3 of my team members bred and ready to hatch in USUM. Rowlet and Rockruff I obviously won’t be breeding for as I’ll just get Rowlet naturally as a starter and Rockruff will be Dusk form. The 3 I have bred are Stufful, Sandshrew, and Sandile. Stufful and Sandshrew have egg moves and Sandile is just so I can get it earlier in the game rather than having to wait a long time. Trying to decide if I’ll breed a Dewpider. Not sure I need to tho. The only egg move I’d really want on it is Aurora Beam and I’m not even sure I want/need that anyway.

          • See I’m of two minds when I play these games. On one hand I like knowing exactly what I’m gonna use so I can keep a cohesive team, but on the other hand I wouldn’t mind just starting a game and choosing once I find cool Pokemon. That ends up leaving me with Pokemon that I swap out tho and that bugs me. I kind of consider every team I make a part of the family so so swapping out mons and then never using them half way through the story is a bummer to me. However that does restrict the range of Pokemon I will end up using. It’s a very weird system I have going for me hahaha. In this case I’m breeding some of them. I did that for B2 as well. I don’t breed for first runs of a gen tho as that seems more organic than injecting Pokemon that I wouldn’t normally have access too into the game.

          • Yeah but that’s the beauty I guess. Everyone here has their own way and each way is right. We’re all different and it’s that uniqueness that makes this community cool and hot at times 😛

      • Hmmmm we shall see what I’ll do. Maybe I’ve even wait until I get the game and decide what I really want. Either way Dewpider isn’t too crazy far into the story so it’s not like I’ll have to wait a long time.

          • I’ve often thought about doing a playthrough with a shiny Pokemon. I have a ton and some of them aren’t so high a level that I could viably start a game and use it. Never done it tho

          • First time I did was in X, all but 1 of my team were shiny and took forever to breed. In Omega I only used 2 shinys and they took ages to breed too due to lack of hatch power. Alpha and Sun all but one in each time were shiny but they took less time to get, especially the Sun team.

          • You know what? I lied. I did use a shiny in at least one of my plays. I used that shiny Metagross in ORAS

    I need to ue my brother’s 3DS for the Jangmo-o transfer and none of the games he has are updated and such and it’s giving me connecting issues

  44. About these lists of friends: Many people visit the site for years, read the comments, but do not comment. I, for example, have visited the site since the pre-XY era, so I kind of feel like I know many of you. And you know what? All these years I see you welcoming every new “commentator”, making them feel part of this from the very beginning! Pokejungle has a really cool community. Anyway… just a thought on the subject.

  46. France was Terribly Paced. I mean it takes so long to get from Gym 1 to Gym 2 and then you just breeze through the rest of the game

    Reply
        • Hoenn Really Opened up at the End and Sinnoh had a Fair bit of Backtracking,Unova has the Gym-Cave-Gym part at Mistralton, Kanto had Mt.Moon, and Johto had the Ecruteak Branch and Violet-Azalea-Goldenrod Circle.

          Reply
          • Hoenn was p. much Gym > Gym > minor encounters > Gym > 2 evil team confrontations > Gym > Gym > huge space between > Gym > larger space > Gym > large space Gym

            It’s the reverse XY

          • Eh, I don’t think that just because there are more space between gyms later on means bad pacing, the pacing just changed later through the game and that’s it

          • I guess one thing I liked about Platinum was how they incorporated team galactic. In that sense the pacing was great.

          • Huge space between Petalburg and Fortree? You basically go through 2 routes and fight evil team and Kecleon. How is that a huge space?

            Fortree to Mossdeep is not so long. You have a few things to do yes but it’s hardly sinnoh bad.
            Yes Mossdeep to final gym has space because thats where the climax occurs. It is expected but how is that bad pacing?
            There will alway be gaps between gyms the examples you’ve listed are either not long or really part of what makes a Pokemon game buddy.

          • ‘There will alway be gaps between gyms the examples you’ve listed are either not long or really part of what makes a Pokemon game buddy’. Right, before I address anything else, I’ll address this. I don’t know if you mean it, but the way you express things comes across as passive aggresive and condescending. I don’t want to start beef if you aren’t trying to but it’s honestly annoying.

            Gym 5 to Gym 6 has you haul yourself across some of the longest routes in Hoenn and an attempt at an evil team takeover that just feels half hearted because how short and random it feels, especially because it comes before and after far more significant interactions with the evil team. Compare this to between Gyms 4 and 5, where all you do is backtrack. It’s poor pacing because of the sudden jump in spacing.

            Fortree to Mossdeep is padded by a filler town that could’ve had all its important assets melded with Mossdeep and two more long routes which don’t have much to note besides the optional safari zone. Mt. Pyre isn’t a problem because it actually ties into to the flow of the plot, but it gets boring when it’s in an already larger gap with nothing else of significance besides itself.

            The Climax gap happens with every other game besides Gen V which has it after Gym 8, and it itself is not an issue. It’s the fact is preceeded by two large filler gaps and two evil team interactions when the midgame feels much more watered down.

          • Uh Fairy?? I am respectfully disagreeing with your opinion and stating my own. There is zero passive aggressiveness in my reply. I’m not sure where that came from? Maybe you have misunderstood me, don’t worry I mean well. I think the recent tensions are still lingering but don’t let that bother you friend :]

            Regarding Hoenn I feel it does much better than say Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh.
            The mid is expectedly less action packed than the climax, it’s like that in all games.
            Gym 4 to 5 I agree.
            Gym 5 to 6, part of the adventure is to explore and that adds to the experience imo.
            For me you get a good amount of things to do between gyms and where there are gaps they are expected e.g. fighting evil team, exploring the region.
            If the region and routes were smaller people would complain that its too squashed like they do of Johto.
            I feel ORAS addressed certain issues with plot making it more interesting and prominent between gyms.
            Hoenn were perfectly fine as far as Pokemon games, I’m still struggling to follow yourself on its issues because I feel that Hoenn in terms of pacing is one of the better regions.
            Kalos had a hugeee gap between Gym 1 and 2 now that was quite bad for sure!

          • It’s literally down below

            Gym are too close together before being extremely far apart. The pacing is trash.

    • For me Hoenn easily. Unova and Kalos are also great. Alola was good but I’ll wait till USUM.
      Obvs Kanto Johto were amazing just small.
      Sinnoh has great potential on switch but until then my least fav region.

      Reply
      • Sinnoh was My Second region so I still have fond memories of it… Unova too… Something about Kalos Bothered me (not to mention Team Fashion Disaster)

  47. So I’m watching this anime called Magi……or well sort of. I got half way through the first season and realized there was a prequel anime about a character that’s in it. So I stopped at a point I thought was right and started watching the prequel. I’m loving this world as a whole. Also Sinbad (the character from the prequel) is amazing. I loved him in the first part of the normal Magi story and I love him in his story. I hope he’s in the rest of the Magi story more. After I finish this prequel I’ll jump back to the normal Magi story

  53. Guys imagine if GF made an Arceus episode for the inevitable DP remakes and on the switch engine no less!
    How would you like GF handle an Arceus episode? How should the plot unfold etc??

    Reply
    • Subtly foreshadow it throughout the journey. Allow the Dragon Trio centre stage until post-game. Have people mention it more like “Oh dear Arceus you’re strong”. Have Guardians for each plate as I said before and have each one also leave a small note with a little bit of text about Arceus which you log into your Poketch, but have them be indecipherable until you reach the main Arceus plot.

      Reply
        • Probably in the Sinjoh Ruins. I think after Cyrus disappears the rest of them compete for leader position and each chase after Arceus in a different way. Each one has one of the plates you didn’t get in the story and after defeating them they hand them over to you. Most having a change of heart or deciding to pursue something else. Charon is the last one, he has forcibly taken control of Regigigas. He fights you for the Azure Flute. Once defeated Regigigas breaks free of his control and throws Charon Team Rocket Blasting off style. .He’s later found in Lake Acuity having lost his memory (Uxie can be seen floating in the distance). Anyway once you have the flute probably a Temple Guardian fights you one final time after giving some last lore on Arceus. Then once defeated you enter the chamber where Arceus awaits. It is needed to do some thing idk, like Rayquaza was needed to stop the Meteor.

          Reply
          • Wow I really like that. You’ve structured it perfectly. I love the idea of the different commanders having a power struggle.
            Maybe they can expand the ruins and create an interesting environment.
            Maybe Arceus is needed to save Sinnoh from Giratina?? Or something that’s messing the dimensions of sinnoh!
            There are so many angles GF can take on this!

          • I think it would need to be post-Giratina as that would be main game. Maybe a wormhole opens up and something new enters. I would say they could do Darkrai but 1. that kinda copies Deoxys in the Delta episode and 2. I don’t really see it as that antagonistic that Arceus would be needed.

  54. So Monkeyfuzz gave me a thought, how the effing ell do we feed our pokemon, aside from having their energy restored and injuries heal at pokecenters we do very little to actually feed them proper diets

  60. 5th Place goes to best ghost user Acerola. I’m so happy she mad it this far, I actually had hope she would win, but oh well. She was seriously so cute, and strong. I loved her funny smile even though she used Ghost types which are very creepy. And she had (IMO) the hardest trial in all of SM. Definitely one of my favorite characters from SM.

  61. I am SO pissed right now. I got my brand-new Poke Ball New 2DS nine days ago and last night, the cameras suddenly stopped and / or are only partially working.

    Scanning QR codes in SunMoon? Works for now.
    Yo-Kai Cam (inner and outer cameras)? Neither work.
    Yo-Kai QR code scanner? Doesn’t work anymore.
    Camera app? Outer cameras don’t work, and freeze up the system. Sometimes it won’t let me view pics I’ve taken.

    I don’t save many pictures at all, and no videos. All but one of my big games are on cartridges, so it’s not a storage issue.

    No one has held this machine except me. Never been left in a non climate-controlled room, no drops, no spills. My hand to its case, that’s it. I did a full system transfer from my worn-out Crimson Red 2DS. I would just transfer this system to my old Crystal Red 2DS, but you can’t go from old to new.

    I’m going to call Nintendo but I am just really sad / disappointed / mad right now and I wanted to vent to some people who’d understand. Also, has anyone here had a similar problem?

    Reply
    • I totally feel your frustration. You’ve just purchased a brand new item (2DS) and you’re really excited to use it. Being new you expect nothing less than optimal performance.
      Then all of a sudden you start having issues that should never happen.
      Ok my advice is check the 2DS is there any external or internal “accidental damage”.
      If you have no responsibility (which im sure you dont) basically this way they cant blame you. Do you have any warranty?
      If yes, activate it by contacting the warranty provider.
      Call Nintendo or preferably the retailer you purchased it from and directly express your disappointment and expectation of immediate action/replacement of the 2DS.
      A good tip is to not go completely beserk, say to them as a professional organisation you expect an immediate response, you feel extremely disappointed in receiving an item that is faulty etc
      And get your 2ds replaced (assuming its broken and cant be tweaked)
      Good luck.
      Any advice needed ask away :]

      Reply
      • I won’t go berserk on anyone, but I might cry.

        I didn’t purchase the $20 warranty at Gamestop because all my stuff is on there and if I just handed it over, I (probably) wouldn’t be able to do a system transfer. I can check and see if there’s a two-week warranty because it’s been only nine days.

        There may be a way to do a system transfer if Nintendo can back everything up while I get a new system if I get it replaced.

        It *is* under warranty by Nintendo for a year, and I didn’t do anything to it, so I can send it in for repairs.

        Fortunately, I have another 2DS to play USUM on, but no Pokemon Bank, etc. I can evacuate all my Pokemon to cartridges in the meantime.

        Reply
        • Oh yes at least you have another 2DS that can cover you.
          Yes check for the warranty first see what your rights are and worst case scenario just transfer your mons to the cartidges.
          Don’t worry you’ll be fine.
          Just make sure to act fast before any potential warranties get void!

          Reply
          • My Gamestop opens in an hour. I will call them then. It’s a small store and we are on familiar terms (I’m in there all the time, talk to the employees, etc.)

    • Tbh it looks perfect to me. Plenty of fire power and all your mons cover/conpelement each other well.
      Only real issue imo is many of your team members evolve late except maybe wishiwashi.
      You might struggle to ground type opponents.
      I would personally replace wishiwashi with something more reliable like a Feraligatr? Slowbro/king??
      But great team nonetheless!

      Reply
        • Well lucky for you there are sooo many water types that you’re spoilt for choice.
          You could use Jellicent, Gyarados, Slowbro or King.
          Personally I’d say use Sharpedo it’s strong and quite fast and can cover your psychic weaknesses!
          Also can mega evolve post game.
          As your team is slow I think it will do well for you!

  62. Just feel like saying for anyone who wants their USUM run to be more challenging, turn off the Exp. Share and change your mode from shift to set. Sometimes the fact your foe can get a move in when you’re switching can make a world of difference.

    Reply
    • I agree, I play like this anyway. It makes it seem more realistic. An opponent saying “Im going to have use gyarados do you want to swtch to your raichu?” Just doesnt sound right. Plus with the new EXP methods playing in set also is not as nerfing as before;

      Reply
      • It is quite a bit more challenging. You’ll notice a difference sometimes. Like what happens is (in alola with slow mons) they get a the upper hand and you have to tell which of your will take that hit, and probably another, and kill it. It’s more strategic.

        Reply
        • Wow you’re right that actually sounds awesome and challenging and realistic!
          Ok that’s decided im going set thanks 2 you guys!

  65. Oh right I need help with Pyborn my Goat starter

    I want to make it one of a few types, but can’t decide which truly fits it

    Fire/Dark, Fire/Steel or Fire/Poison

    Dark to theme it around how goats are commonly seen as the devils animal, Steel based on their diet which can consume Metalic objects and Poison due to how them also being able to consume so many different things that maybe it created toxins in the body and now it uses them as a weapon

    So which one sounds the best or most fitting to you?

    Reply
    • I think Fire/Steel works good. Goats are commonly shown to eat cans so it makes the most sense to me. I suppose Dark could work too, but that all depends on what it evolves into.You either want it to turn into a devil goat or you don’t. so the typing ultimately depends on what the final form looks like. I’m not sure I see Poison tho. I get what you’re saying, but when I think of goats I don’t think of poisonous animal.

    My ideas are Grass, Grass/Fighting, Grass/Psychic, or Grass/Ice
    What do you guys think

    Reply
    • Jesus…..that extinct ancestor is terrifying……lol Hmmmm I just had a thought. I’m still not sure what it’s final typing would be, but what if you’re grass mon started as a Grass/Ground and then changed into Grass/??? after it gets to it’s final form similar to how Rowlet changes from Grass/Flying to Grass/Ghost. I don’t know what your ideal design is, but it could go from the burrowing wombat to that bigger form. If the final form is more similar to that ancestor then it prolly wouldn’t dig anymore and as such would lose the need to be part ground type. Just a thought tho

  67. What happened to right side of the Ghetsis’s body? His left arm is concealed and presumably burned due to it being darker color, his left eye is concealed, his mouth is not opening properly at the left side giving it crooked appearance. What was the intention behind this design? What is the symbolism there? Is the concept coming from some historical/mythical figure that no one was able to find yet? Or what happened to him? Was it because of an accident that plays important role in what he has become? Was it some kind of disease? It’s still a mystery.

    • There was some Reddit rumor this morning that said Game Freak is being pressured for a 2018 release of the Generation 8 Nintendo Switch game. Part of me hopes this is not true. I want them to take their time on this title. Though the rumor also said that “Pokemon Stars” was real and was simply a port of Sun and Moon to the Switch and used for testing purposes. If that is the case, then Game Freak has been working on and considering a game for the Switch since 2016 or earlier as I remember Pokemon Stars being rumored right after Sun and Moon released. I’m not super worried. I have a feeling that whatever comes out for the Switch will be good.

      Reply
      • That wouldn’t surprise me if Nintendo is pressuring them but GF has shown in the past it can stand up for itself. I really hope they don’t rush switch games and make them special!

        Reply
        • Yes. I hope that Game Freak’s debut title is just as good and innovative as Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. I read in an interview somewhere last night that veterans at Game Freak were assigned to the upcoming Switch game while the younger developers at Game Freak were assigned to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

          Reply
          • Yeah well one good thing is GF know that there are a lot of expectations on them with the switch and with the extra power I expect them to deliver.
            I’d love it if they made the games more open world and they took some risks!
            Which they will IMO I’m expecting a big reboot!

          • Yeah. I’m not very worried. My friend was a little considered that if it releases in 2018 like this rumor says, that the game may be a little bit rushed. But I have faith in Game Freak. I’m so excited to see what they will do for the upcoming Switch title.

          • Awesome I like your positive attitude. Thats how we should be!
            I feel like the switch games will be special. GF will know they hav a big chance to wow us and they will!
            What do you personally want from the switch/your hopes??

    • Tbh I welcome the break. It will keep us fresh for gen switch! Sometimes too much can burn us out! And the time will hopefully allow GF to make better games!

  70. I’m going to be extremely worried if Pokémon Switch is announced for 2018

    This is a unique time for Pokémon because this time around they have no excuses to not do something new and amazing.

    They have literally nothing holding them back. They can make a huge world, they have the models and walking animations of 800+ Pokémon, they have an established art style that will transfer to the Switch easier. They have no excuse to not make these games as packed with content as possible

    I feel like it’s also a good time to reconsider the roots of the series. I don’t mean red and blue, I mean Tajiri’s original vision. How does the concept of collecting and trading your own monsters translate to a console handheld hybrid?

    I personally hope they also hugely revamp the battle system. Put more focus on double and triple battles then streamline them.

    I’m kinda rambling really but I guess I’m just saying that game Freak has no excuse to make another gen 6 or 7. Give us another gen 4 or 5

    • I agree I sincerely hope switch makes 2019 so it’s well polished and delivers on the big stage (ala switch engine).
      Although I disagree with gen 6/7 part,I can understand what you’re trying to say.
      GF needs to take risks on the switch and I’m confident that we’re in for a big reboot!
      Honestly something is telling me gen 8 will be special and GF will deliver!
      Also Sinnoh remakes!!

          • To be fair it’s not really up to Ishihara if GF makes a game for the Switch or not. HE may have not thought it was gonna go well, but if Masuda and the GF higher ups thought it could work then that’s what really matters. That said it’s clear they didn’t get started on it until the last couple of year at the earliest.

          • He is still the one making the decisions because he is at the top. If he thought differently we probably wouldn’t have USUM because they would have devoted all their resources for the Switch

          • He’s the president of TPC not GF. They’re technically two different companies. They all just work under the umbrella of the Pokemon franchise.

          • And then we might not have anything to tide us till the switch games. All in all I think they know what they’re doing.

          • “in the age of the smartphone, no one would carry around a game console” what do you think the 3ds is?… well it’s a gross oversight on his end but at least he owned up to his lapse in judgment.

          • I doubt they wouldn’t go to the new flagship regardless.. they always have.
            Zelda was long in the making. . And Pokemon is Always years ahead. I’m sure they have been working diligently for a long time. With pressure from Nintendo to boost Switch sales no doubt

          • Oh yeah I forgot that. But still it took a lot to Port it over and use the switch effectively.
            And I know they are because they use themes hidden in the anime and their interviews years before they become a reality in game.
            What I’m saying is. A lot can happen just in the drafting stages regardless of software. I’m sure they’ve already known what they want long ago.. it just will change and evolve as they actually apply it to the system.
            As Drake said.. it coming out soon doesn’t mean it’s rushed .. at all.. by a long shot

          • It definitely took time and effort to get the controls and graphics to the highest output on a new system regardless of how easy the software has made it in comparison to past consoles… K bye Felicia

        • I don’t believe it has been that long but I maybe wrong.
          Even if it has been I feel 2019 should be the earliest. The more time they take the better for quality!

    • Here is what I’m thinking. I think the need to simplify some stuff. While I know taking out mechanics isn’t exactly everyone’s favorite thing, maybe they need to streamline the story of the next game and keep all the current mechanics locked to the post game. Also no new forms for the legends that are required for the story. Just make a badass Pokemon and be done with it. Also also maybe make the evil team not be required to use the legends for their plot. Have the legends be a bit more mysterious and in the background. Similar to how Mewtwo isn’t technically in the plot of RBGY. They could still have the evil team talk about it in some capacity or even hint at it in general, but not as a plot device. Further more as far as gameplay goes I don’t ever see them going full open world. They’ve made it clear they’re not ready for that kind of thing. Instead open up the route and cities to FEEL like it’s open world while at the same time keeping them somewhat separate and manageable. Sort of like Mario Odyssey, but the “zones” (routes/cities) would would be connected like they are now in normal Pokemon games instead of us having to “travel” to each place. That way they can allow for camera control and a little bit of free movement, but still keep us in some kind of a track like they love to do.

      • I really want them to do what they did in Black and White but also change the mechanics heavily

        Of course my ideal Pokémon game would be made my monolith soft but since that’s happening, I still want an opened up world. It just makes sense for Pokémon.

        Reply
        • I’d say we’re still a few gens away from them doing a full open world game. Again they’ve made it painfully clear they don’t want to do it. Maybe one day, but until then I’d settle for a sandbox zone style game where while each area is still separate and on a relative track it can still feel some what open. I think baby step are in order here first.

          Reply
          • Which is honestly just insane. An open world would make Pokémon such a better experience. It would make the game more about finding my monsters in an intresting way rather than walk and grass and hope RNG gives you the one you want.

          • Oh I know. I know exactly hoe you feel, but you gotta expect what realistically will happen rather than what you want to happen. That’s why people are so pissed about USUM hahaha

          • I think that rather than going full open world they’ll incorporate some attributes of an open world game.
            They know we want it and they know what the switch is capable of so they will make some changes for sure!

    • I’m not super worried. I read in an interview last night that veterans of Game Freak were assigned to the Switch game while the younger developers were assigned to USUM. Even if the game does release in 2018, the Reddit rumor from this morning said that Pokemon Stars was true and that it was a port of Sun and Moon for the Switch used for testing purposes of the software. So with that in mind, Game Freak has been working on and considering making a Switch game since 2016 or earlier, as Stars was announced back last year right after Sun and Moon were released. I have faith in Game Freak that they know what they are up against and they will deliver to us a good and innovative title like Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. I’m trying my best to be optimistic. Because thinking negatively won’t get you anywhere but worrying yourself to death.

      • I’d say thinking realistically is the best way to go for this situation.

        Until we find out for sure what kind of game we are dealing with I think it’s best to just take what we know

        Reply
      • I mean, they released a new game internationally every year from 2009 to 2014, so thdy develop new games in tandem a lot, which is probably why Fan Feedback doesn’t have a bunch of sway to it.

        Reply
      • I think Game Freak doesn’t know what to do with the franchise anymore. If Nintendo doesn’t order and guide GF to make something like Odyssey or Breath of the Wild, in terms of breaking the mold, we’ll be very disappointed with Pokémon for Switch.

        Reply
        • I do feel that whatever they give us next on the switch will be the standard for a long time.. so don’t expect it to turn from asandbox into an open world 2019

          Reply
          • Would you consider the current format “sandbox”? I guess maybe it is? I expect them to open up the areas a bit now tho. Like I said below, it could be similar to how Mario Odyssey is where the individual areas are huge, but it’s still not “open world”

          • I mean. Whatever the first switch game is like the next few will be very similar format wise. And yes I guess I would.

          • Well yeah I don’t think the’ll change things after the Switch game comes out. They’ll likely keep whatever format the new game is for a good while.

          • The actual format is not a sandbox. Breath of the Wild is a perfect example of a sandbox-open world game cause it doesn’t give limits to the player. Think on the paraglider, you can use it to go anywhere, while in Pokémon you can’t hop in the back of Charizard and fly to wherever you want.

  71. Totem stickers, the missing totems may be sun exclusive and Wishiwashi isn’t included because it used a normal sized model in both forms.

    Totem Gumshoos (Ultra Sun) / Totem Raticate (Ultra Moon) -20 stickers

    Totem Araquanid – 40 stickers

    Totem Lurantis (Ultra Sun) / Totem Salazzle (Ultra Moon) – 50 stickers

    Totem Togedemaru – 70 stickers

    Totem Mimikyu – 80 stickers

    Totem Kommo-o – 100 stickers

      • I’m not quite sure tbh, if they’re distributed evenly across all four islands you’ll probably be able to get it start of Island 3 if they lock some behind Sharpedo Jet and Tauros Charge or the end of Island 2 if they’re all obtainable before leaving the island.

        I doubt they’ll be distributed amongst five islands (including Aether this time) simply because how small Aether is in comparison.

        If they’re randomly distributed, I’m afraid I’m quite unsure 😡

        Reply
    • Ugh I still wished they could make your pokemon totem sized… really wanted a shiny totem Mimikyu?. Are they at least stronger than their non-totem counter parts?

      Reply
      • Nope. They’re an aesthetic bonus but they all come with three sets of 31 IVs at the least.

        And tbh totem sizing normal Pokemon would be weird 😡

    • What I can say is that there’s data in the game for Totem Ribombee and Marowak and I believe we do have data for Totem Vikavolt as well

  72. So guys I will hopefully have a spare Celebi from the GS event transferable to USUM. Don’t really need it.

    • If it’s still in bank I don’t see why it wound’t be transferable. As long as you don’t accept it would just be raw points that the bank is holding until you do accept it. I could be wrong tho

    • I do that with all my runs
      As I stated numerous times Jangmo-o is the MVP

      Tough, Tenacious and headstrong, the moment Jangmo-o opened his eyes he wad immediately faced with hardships as he was born inside a speeding car on its way to the docks on Melemele but already displayed ferocious natural power as it blasted his captors with Dragon Breath and escaped to the wilds until it was attacked by wild spearow and left unconscious

    • Typically with my main runs I try to do some head canons. I like placing my own personality into the story and come up with witty comments. Ultimately it makes me look like a weirdo where I’m just talking to myself hahaha

      Reply
        • Don’t get me wrong it’s not like I’m talking to myself super loud! Just occasionally I’ll catch myself saying some stuff or reading text out loud and responding to the characters. It’s especially when I get REALLY into the story.

          Reply
    • I was thinking if I end up using an Incineroar he’d have a complex character. Like he’d be a loyal mon/friend that betrays its trainer due to some unnecessary reason. I then proceed to release him and he sadly becomes irrelevant.

      Reply
    • I actually love to use my pokemon with a certain personality accordingly. For example, the Infernape I’ll be using is my charactere childhood best friend, my charectere hatched it from an egg after that professor Rowan trew it away because it didn’t had the right talent and there judged him useless. They both bonded and decided to pursue their dream to become stronger ever since. Infernape is the team leader, he never gives up and all chears the others up.

      Shortly after my charactere left home to pursue it’s adventure he found a newborn ralts that was really sick, he decided to take care of it and they become close even tho ralts still has a hard time bonding with the other teams member except for budew that she adores.

      Budew is the sassy bitch of the group yet she wwould never think twice before to help the others. She feels like she’s the only one allowed to mess with th other team members and they all like it that way.

      There’s also grubbin who’s the smart guy in the group but he still has a lot of improving to do before to reach it’s full power. He’s the second strongest guy in the group. Mammoswine is the goofy guy in the group, but dep inside he’s a bit jealous of the bond between his trainer and chimchar even tho his trainer love all the teammates the same. It alwways tries to do it’s best but often do more arm than good.

      finally we have noivern who’s a force to recon with but who’s too unassertive to use it. He’s really close to mamoswine and grubbin. Unfortunatly he’s only able to help when the situation gets critical but he’s getting there and work a lot to face his fear of battle and become stronger…

      Overall it’s a sweet team with a lot of different peronalities that will have to come togheter in order to save alola.

      • Thank you :)! Well, I love fighting types and chimchar is one of my all tim favorite starters so it was a very easy choice :)! Although I had a rough time coming with this team since I hate to have types that are repeating and I wanted to use too many mons such as Ribombee and Incineroar just to name a few…

    • Wow an Infernape! You’re team has a lot of Sinnoh. I would say it’s very balanced and versatile. You can hit physically and pressure with special attacks.
      Excellent teams and I love the choices you’ve made. Mamo, Roserade and Ape stand out!

  74. I started playing Super Mario RPG last night for the first time…it’s REALLY good so far. Amazingly polished for a SNES RPG and has really interesting sprite design. Even though I don’t even have the second star yet, I’m still going to recommend it to people.

    Also, daily request for Hoenn/Unova/Kalos/Alola Pikachu. There, that’s out of the way.
