Check out the official Pokémon merchandise that was either revealed, leaked or is now available for purchase this week:
a guy who leaked the Ninja Turtles being in Injustice leaked some info on Upcoming Nintendo stuff
There has been pressure towards Game Freak to get Pokemon’s 8th Generation out in hopes of a release next year. If you recall Pokemon Stars, that is (or was) real, but all it was was a Sun and Moon port to the Switch, used as an engine test tech demo thing.
Metroid Prime 4 should have something revealed with some in-game footage early next year from what I’ve heard. I’m hearing that Direct in January particularly. Bandai Namco is developing the game for Nintendo. I don’t know which development studio.
There is some kind of new Animal Crossing that they hope to release next year too.
The Switch’s Virtual Console will not be like how it currently is known to be like. There is some kind of a subscription service of sorts in the works.
Mother 3 is real. According to my source, it was completely localized and playable. The sad thing that I’ve heard is that it is being held back for some reason, which all I know has something to do with not knowing which month to release it in.
According to one of my sources, they claim that Square Enix is doing The World Ends With You 2 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
Blizzard is preparing a Hearthstone port for the Switch. I’m not sure when this will be announced due to the phrasing, but I heard about this when I went to Blizzcon.
“Some kind of new animal crossing”
>>>> doesn’t mention it being for Switch
PANIC SETS IN
Lol. Can’t wait for them to drop the 3DS entirely personally..
Same honestly. Love my switch
I should get one soon!
I’m more focused on the MvCI part of the leak. I would love to see Star-Lord in the game. Also, really? A subscription service for Virtual Console? That just doesn’t feel right
No.. way.. Metroid Prime…
Hold me baby.. I’m MelltInnggnfffffjsj
?
So many times I’ve replugged in my game cube when I was younger to play this.. and Spiderman.. and Pokemon XD..
Here’s to hoping the switch game takes after XD
Hopefully it’s Digimon
I’d take:
Digimon
Dragon Ball
JoJo
My Hero Academia
I can’t think of anything else
Finally a Digimon game I could get since the Dusk/Dawn and DS games
You don’t have a PS4?
Not even sure, my brother has a PS3 and an Xbox 1, but not sure of PS4
Please we don’t need GF being rushed. I hope they stand firm against them. We need quality not yearly releases.
Maybe they’ve found a way to achieve both
Hopefully. I mean they may have a larger squad producing the games and from more than a year ago but as it’s a big jump 2018 just seems too soon reece idk :/
I c
I’m personally not too worried. I remember we discussed this in another story on the site earlier today. If this rumor is true, then that means Game Freak has been working on and considering a Switch game since 2016 or earlier as Pokemon Stars was announced right after Sun and Moon released. I also found another interview that said that they put the veteran staff at Game Freak to work on the Switch project while they put younger developers of Game Freak to work on USUM. I can find a link to that interview if you want.
*Reads thinking this sounds plausible*
*Sees Mother 3 localization*
*Skepticism sets in*
My favorite smash character
They’ve caused me nothing but problems
?
Who do u use most?
Wario
Dedede
Bowser
DK
Ganondorf
I use nothing but heavyweight fighters
Lol. Ok
Spare me the insults
I’ve got none.. I have only played the original
Yeah, a lot of people who commented on Reddit seemed to think the same. It just feels too good to be true, I guess
Every fake leaker always has a tell, one loose end that never works
The Artsy Omni leak? (If that even counts)
Are you telling me someone predicted TMNT in Injustice
Saying the Ninja turtles will be injustice is a bold prediction. like no one thought that would happen
True, but Mother 3 is just kinda out there. Like, we all want it, but it still feels skeptical seeing it here. I hate to sound like a pessimist, but it is very possible that the guy just got lucky. Who know? Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not, or maybe it’ll be like the Gematsu leak for Smash 4 where part of it was right.
but he said all 3 characters in the DLC Pack coming out in order of appearance lol
I prefer to look at it at a neutral perspective (as in not going with whether it’s real or fake). Like I said, the guy could very well be right, but there’s also the possibility he could be wrong. Just keep an open mind if you aren’t already.
I saw this earlier. Not sure what to believe anymore tbf.
Mother 3…. m-mm-mother 3
Mother 3
oh my god mother 3
mother 3. mother… 3

FINALLY
Okay, the other stuff is neat and all but I see Animal Crossing and that’s the most important. They “hope to release” in 2018? As if they haven’t already had at least 4-5 years for planning and development?
Blizzard… Nintendo… Port… does this mean more hope for Overwatch? Hopefully
It’s not happening. Hearthstone is way easier to put on the Switch but overwatch is never coming to the Switch unless the Nintendo Online is on par with Xbox Live and Playstation Plus
I want to work on a stat sheet for one of my fakemons and i was thinking my Fire Starter’s final Apolleo
The Pride Pkm
Fire (or Fire/Dark)

Physiology
A very large compact Male lion Pokemon with golden fur and a wreath of red fur around its wrists and ankles, it has a long majestic mane of fire and sharp commanding eyes and a tuft of the same red fur under its chin, it has a long striped tail that ends with a tuft of flame at the tip
“Powerful and prideful, they protect their kind with tireless devotion, those to threaten their young will be dealt with mercilessly”
“Their claws extend up to 5 inches when in battle, they are covered in a special wax that can be set on fire for extra damage”
When you randomly find a life orb on a wild Absol.. c’est la vie! ✌https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/80a6bd38195802d2a63edaf8dd463aeab9aa0cd9b757bff477f1e476c54b61ce.jpg
Noice moveset too
Ahhhh yes :]
Thoughts on my other USUM team?
Feraligatr
Serperior
Talonflame
Florges
Goodra
I can’t really decide on a last member. I really wanted to use Bisharp or Hydreigon on this team, but they just evolve so late it wouldn’t be any fun :/ I was thinking maybe Eelektross, Krookodile, or Gigalith. Will take suggestions.
Bisharp is found in the wild tho?
Yeah, but I breed my pokes so :/
oh ok. fair enough
Wait it’s changed drastically!!
Unless you’re getting both games?
Anyways it’s a really strong team, balanced and has a good mix of bulk and offensive power.
10/10 my dude.
Also an observation, you have 3 Kalosians and zero Alolans hmm 😛
Lol, yeah, getting both. (Yes, I am a hypocrite in that sense) I know, it is funny I have no alolans. Thought about maybe doing alolan muk though?
Actually I think I’m going to substitute Goodra for Drampa maybe….maybe..
YESSS! Drampa anyday fam.
It’s Alola and you should use something Alolan plus Dramps is really cool!
Sure Alolan muk is great choice. Will help against Fairies!
you’re tempting me in getting UM now haha ngl :]
Lopunny
Tsareena
Salazzle
Alolachu
Mimikyu
Absol
any of those are good choices
Noice Emolga?
Honestly I friggen hate Emolga. Used one in BW once and had a horrible experience with it :I
I member my youngest brother kept the Emolga he got from a hiker and had it until the very end
Sigh I wish he was a bigger Pokemon fan
My brother is falling out too. He’s not even getting USUM and still hasn’t finished Moon…
My brothers suuuck
The younger one is neo-nazi and is a total snob when it comes to pretty much anything (he listens to political rants and weird quasi-progressive bull 24/7 even when he freaking showers)
And the youngest is a sad sack mope who has no personality nor any interest in any games that aren’t some steam selects
0_o
How are your parents?
My mom’s cool but she has her moments when she drops the hammer and my dad is getting on in years he’s either laid back and easy going or crotchety and complaining
Oh I hope he’s not actually a neo nazi…lol
He is, or at least I think he is, he’s definitely brainwashed if you count listening to it 24/7 brainwashed, when gaming, when eating (he’s the type who’s always buried in a phone in family situations) and even when showering or sleeping
One day I really hope that big fat mouth of his gets his ass handed to him
Uhg. Sounds like a shithead
He really is sometimes, also one thing that irks me he NEVER goes outside unless he’s smoking pot
So like…he supports those crazy nazi gun nuts who ran over that poor lady..?
He’s been telling me he wants to get his gun license and I bet he’d fight tooth and nail to be able to get one
please dont let him get a gun license
Maybe a hole in his leg or foot would help screw his head on straight
Trip him
If I’d do that I’d get a boney jab to my pudgy gut, he may be a dick but he’s no stranger to combat
Yikes….
As for your last I would say between Elektross or Gigalith.
Elektross is versatile. Krok is great with its dual stab. I’d say Krok!
My thought is where the frell are any of y’all gonna get these Pokemon in game, yeah you can just give them at the start but that’s boring,
Nah, fam. I always trade over. That way I get them when I want. I rarely do playthroughs of wild-catch-only
Suit yourself, Jangmo-o is the only thing I’m bringing over
I find it makes a more memorable playthrough. Like the only time I ever enjoyed X&Y was when I traded over one of my favorite teams i’ve used, Charizard, Garchomp, Luxray, Pangoro, Lapras, and Aegislash
Nrrrgh… I don’t approve
Though I will say one of my other must fun plays was with an wild catch only team in B2W2, with Volcarona, Lilligant, Cincinno, Zoroark, Claydol, and Swanna. Volcarona carried the entire team tho
I feel the limit is 1-3
Like recently I wanted to do a run with a Golett as my starter
Do it, it’s more fun when you sub a starter. I get bored using the same starters all the time
Togekiss? O nvm
I’m using that in my other play of USUM haha. Plus I already have fairy and flying covered
TOXAPEX!!!
you have water grass fire..
Then fairy dragon… So poison.. or steel
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b048e7c858b9aae851c1a865251719d68fc2c039343ec506e25a882f0e4af626.png
Nuuu I can’t use two water typeeeesssssss
-_-… It’s balanced tho.. and to is more effect and poisoning
Yeah, but….the OCD is very strict about that. The only exceptions I make is if the secondary type is useless like flying on gyarados or on vivillon.
Ok.. fast and strong.. balanced and no repeats! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3a10b45df417f9807e82ca01a0553c0f2b5d33b7eddf40dc0bbdbf2863406acb.png
Hm…I did consider Gengar.
Araquanid always
Kicked out for lure ball feraligatr. Sorry bb 🙁
WFEAGRSHNMFGDSEAWqdwfghdg
??
It’s a pretty worthy replacement at least… 😀
Oh wait.. bisharp is steel.. just use that :/// use eviolite
Hm. I could. Anyone tried that before on a playthrough?
Will this be enough for Winona??
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6d81fd302144e7bc8bdbbeac87c444eb353817ff14ba6f0f6ee60becbae05d3f.jpg
I’m feeling a little nervous taking her on as I’ve left my strongest members at the centre, these below ?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2a4566a304ac7ba34613f16a6e08b5b8972bc1d349df5fe7d4d455eb16e6bbec.jpg
Personally I’d drop Pelipper for Mightyena. Intimidate might come in handy. Also get that voltorb to 30 and evolve it lol
Hahaha I feel like such an idiot xD
If you train the Voltorb up more and evolve it into Electrode (it evolves at Level 30, so you’re one level short), it should be able to make quick work of most of her team. You can use Vibrava for her Altaria or teach Wailmer an Ice type move.
Thanks. Believe it or not this is prob the first time I’m using Voltorb and I’m a 90s kid!
Ok time to do some damage ?
Good luck! Go get her! I’m a 90’s kid too. Been with the series since it debuted in North America in 1998 when I was 5 years old. Pokemon has very positively impacted my life and continues to do so even now when I’m in my mid 20’s. Looking forward to USUM and the Switch game.

cant wait
(Unfunny joke incoming)*looks at Female Inkling) Is that you, Futaba?
what
Isn’t this the most beautiful place to live like ever?? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8480a355d85fd8dd7d1cc20c8f8ae77519b0bcce579b58a065cd55d2a86742c9.jpg
No to ORAS, yes to emerald
Really? You would prefer the bland Fortree of emerald over the colourful masterpiece of ORAS’ Fortree??
Background music
Ohhh gotcha.
Yeah they remixed it in ORAS!
It sounds so bad in oras
I like the music tho
Alex
Shush
No
Yeast
ORAS was a mistake
I like ORAS tho…
They receive unfair hate granted a lot of people like them too
It’s subjective. I guess I can see why people think it’s bad, but I still like it
My momma was a mistake! 0_0
Far from it friend.
I absolutely love it despite lack of BF and emerald gym teams.
its a very boring game
I thought it was fun. And personally, the Battle Frontier was kinda tedious to me.
Tedious, but at least optional
True. I could honestly do without the Battle Frontier, but I won’t be mad if it does make a return
It was the best thing ever. I mean the Hoenn frontier was soo good so versatile!
7 facilities is an insane amount.
Did you enjoy the originals??
Nope. I dont like gen 3
Ahhhh that explains everything!
What is your fav gen then??
gen 4
Mine’s a tie between 4 and 7
Redesigned Mauville city is actually the best part about the game
Just wait until I get careless with a lighter
Don’t do it earthen!
We have 5 more days to survive! Just 5 more!
But I’m psychotic now
I think we’ll take you deep in Hoenn waters that should cool you down from 10 to 7.8 😛
……you do realize I hate water, and the hoenn region
Lol. Sometimes I think like this.. what if I die.. before I get to experience something I waited for ;-:
Best way is to make most of your life. Like what is the purpose of life the actual purpose?? Once you’ve found it grab it by the horns and don’t let go.
(even if a mighty earthen chases you :P)
Rains too much around there to do serious damage
Fine I’ll get the gasoline, I hate when I gotta work towards my watton and destruction
Over Malie city??? Haaayllll nah.
Ohhh shhiiit you got a point there lad :]
Malie is a masterpiece!
1000% head to toe! Well, it would be better if I could go in the towers in the gardens, but they’re still nice 🙂
It blew me away first time I entered. That Johto vibe really was nostalgic!
Alola is the last place you’d expect something like this!
Malie city is the best thing to come out of Johto
I actually don’t like Johto ‘-‘; HGSS are probably the best pokemon games, but the region itself is meh with just a few good locations.
Baby Daddy..
I’m impressed how they make it look so 3D https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dacae3be07b58066eb73fcc50ae1ed23e726e0b3810856a8f47ecc90bbf46140.png
I got the game early here is my review
https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/XxfaJdL44OpODmzgnGGlOPVI1dNbYrGMK9L1JuERzVE/https/78.media.tumblr.com/4ee916f676fefc2c9fd4da44ccad405b/tumblr_oz7297GWfv1qioqevo2_540.gif
10/10
I’m sold
I hope a random gyrados just pops out of the water and *noms* them instantly
That’s what Mimikyu is for
Meh
Oh, that reminds me, it’s disappointing that Mantine is the only new pokeride, which is probably the best new feature to come out of gen 7
I think I finally decided.
Dragon types are my favorite type. Electric types are cool and all, but Dragons have more diversity (Electric is majorly suffering there) More power, and Solid offensive stats.
I thought you were a ice type fanatic
I am, but Ice suuuuuuuuuucks. Like there probably like 5 viable ice types
Sad but true.. they are good tho!
Well you got….
Froslass fast set up and sacrifice dbond
Mamo and Pilo Setup and pretty powerful
Avalugg bulk and rapid spin
Alolans Ninetales and Snowslash naturally good
The Ice cream now has Snow Warning which is ok
Cloyster is deadly once it sets up
Weavile nuff said
Any Kyurem any is annoying
They may sound good on paper, but with the meta, they barely can survive. It’s just the harh truth, if they were buffed they would quickly become number 1
Well you just need to avoid Mach punches and setup
Youre explaining things only good on paper. Sure Ice may be rewarding, but it stands no chance against anything. Certain types completely wall it. It’s just not fair for ice. Oh well it’s still my favorte element
You jokin? Dragons are probably the least diverse type in terms of design and stats
Are you kidding? Design maybe because most are reptilian or you know… dragons…
stats um
D: 97/114/98/114/97/88
E: 72/80/79/101/84/90
Yeaaaa it’s obvious which is better and more Diverse
Typing???
There are 1/4 all dragons are pure dragons so 25% have a diverse type
There are 27/51 Electric type are pure electric. That’s 53% of electric types, Thats no diversity.
Why bother most used electric types are ones that are immune to ground because of their type or ability
Any Electric mono is basically
Tapu Koko
Thundurus
Zapdos
Wash Rotom
Alolan Golem
Alolan Raichu
Eh, I mean I like them a lot, but they’re too favored. Most of them are always given decent spreads, though they usually lean toward being offensively prone, which is what I was tryna say.
Pronoun game! I have no idea which type youre talking about Electric or Dragon… Well I think you mean Electric.It’s true most are offensive, but that’s also kind of a flaw, So much offensive barely any defense. I want to run some defense offensive all that. Dragon is just more balanced in that aspect. Which is what also help solidify my decision
Dragon is very balanced stat wise typically.. minus not being super effective against anything
So I was on the past article and I came across the silliest comment
“But of Core goes too……….. Emerald hands down, you hate stupid pointless things now? At least you get rewarded with something good. In Emerald you must walk up a stupid tower that is annoying to traverse, and get up their for what? Absolutely F*CKING NOTHING! You get a stupid congrats for spending 20 mins to do nothing! I hated Liza and Tate’s Xatu as it caused me two days worth of gameplay just to kill it. Or the fact their is no good place to train well because Golbat makes training a freaking disaster for Heracross!
Emerald? Not RS, but Emerald. Honey, there are sooooooo many things wrong with this.
All in All I like Emerald, but the Battle Frontier can’t even save it from being the lowest on my list”
What does any of this mean
Someone said that saying Emerald was the worst Pokemon game, but their arguement was so bad. It makes me wanna explode
oh this was kurusu wasnt it?
So.. I’m assuming the tower is sky pillar? Uh.. you catch Rayquaza?
And the game is hard so.. the game is bad?
What
We don’t need emeralds,rubies and sapphire.
It’s all about ORAS. All day and night :]
B i t ch you made a BIG mistake Voltorb is giving you the stare you better go hide somewhere
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/be1b02d97101705efd5b2543c80348fa696be654b8fb7839afdfd34722d59eaa.jpg
Wow… Didn’t expect that from you.. lol.. ok.
B I T C H Better Hyyde!
I can play with fire too, haha jk :]
Hahaha look at this guy. Ultron? Guess which Harry potter character this reminds me of? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f02f64e6c1977a5213446a5eb6ea9093d434c962dfbc03c76e6452387d2214aa.jpg
I hope it detonates near you
I will simply transform into a ghost type :]
*Pulls out a vacuum*
I don’t find marshadow very cute at all.. regardless of the 666 on it’s head… It just looks very hand drawn.. like a kid discarded it to me.. I dunno. It just don’t fit in
I think it’s fine. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either
Yes . . It’s meh
Well I got nothing left to say, I did get a nice super comfy flannel shirt today that I’m gonna wear on Friday
Pics or it wont happen
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8b2ab5cbc09d2f567f14aa2fccb2991390904d3ba5d46ae05b5e2eceb0b4935d.jpg
What shirt?
…..the one on my bed? It still has the tag
Cammmmoo
I’m going to wear my Popplio shirt that I ordered from Pokemon.com back right before Sun and Moon released, on Friday, in honor of the release of USUM.
You gonna display it or you gonna have a hoodie over it :/
Lol. Y y’all testing him, like it’s some unbelievable challenge
I might have to wear a hoodie over it sadly as it is short sleeved. Lol.
Wear a jacket.. half zipped
It feels weird to go from not being excited about USUM at all to being just as excited for USUM if not more excited than I was for the original Sun and Moon in a little less than 3 months. Can’t wait! And I can’t wait to use my favorite Pokemon of all time, Tyrantrum. <3
If Tyrantum is your favourite of all time then you must love your Dinosaurs!
I’ve loved dinosaurs ever since I was a kid, especially the T-Rex. One of my favorite Disney movies when I was younger was Dinosaur. Such an overshadowed and underrated movie. So when they designed Tyrantrum for X and Y, it was love at first sight. And I found out that Tyrantrum’s designer was Hitoshi Ariga. I want to find him and personally thank him one for designing one of my favorite Pokemon ever.
I love Alola! It deserves better.. it’s just.. no one is ever as excited for a second game of a gen compared to a new gen. Understandably so. But even bigger.. there is the Switch and the New Pokemon game for it overshadowing it. It’s doomed from the start. Once again. I Love alola and the anime.. it’s just these factors rushing it ahead
I was dreading the fact that I had to play through Xand Y again for my review but then I remembered that USUM is out in 5 days.
Thank.
God.
I can put it off now
….or just not play XY
I gotta tell the world how awful they are
Some day I will have to ;~;
Still lookin forward to that critical analysis.
hahaahah im not 😀
I think I’ll make one on DP you know
You do realize you’re engaging yourself in self destructive activities? I mean aside from your doubts in your art skills which you did nearly every other month (which hon they’re fine)
Just stop with the self infliction
It’s for the greater good my dude. If I die while playing them then so be it
Ugh fine drag yourself down and hate a game just to get angry to to complain
The world has to understand
I am here for you. I …. I’m gonna do it with you
I’m not letting you go alone!
I would do it for fun… Oh wait if we wait till Christmas I might as I asked for Y version for Christmas
Why would you do that
Well I parted with X so my brother could have a 3ds game when he got it ladt year and when looking through some books I just told myself “I think I need a Kalos game that could give me something to do during Winter break…” thus my list threw it in
Fam
Get a switch
If you want a 3ds game, get either Samus Returns or Super Star Saga
$300 Switch for Christmas? When you live in my life if its that much, that’s all I’ll get this year (not including a single game)
then get anything except gen 6
I have everything that isn’t Gen.6
Including a Physical copy of Silver version (Still worth 40 bucks, but wish I got Crystal instead)
Have you not played XY? If not play them they are very good games, you’ll have a lot of fun :]
I have (I still love my playthrough team as they are all now lvl.100’s that I use as my training team)
Chesnaught, Lucario, Vivillon, Noivern, Sylveon and (this one I wish was on my team, but still is lvl.100) Dedenne
Sometimes I feel like the only sane one
Haha on point ?
I look forward to your unbiased well structured critical review.
I shall be your first critique ?
“Unbiased”
Well I’m not a robot but I will certainly be able to actually back up my points with… evidence? And… a knowledge of game design and story structure?
Btw I think you mean critic
Well critique is what your doing actually. Critic I think is a more critical kind of that word
(I did actually look up critique just to make it look like I wasn’t just trying to blindly answer your question)
… theyre saying “I shall be your first critique” They mean critic. Because a person who critiques is a critic.
Ohhhhh. Ok yeah I musta read your post wrong, my mistake
It wasn’t that bad. Yeah long cut scenes, forgettable stuff, bad rivals, terrible leveling curve, my brother had no idea how to navigate through because it was so confusing, limited new Pokémon, worst evil team to date and barely any content
But hey… It’s better than the game they made for Chaotic (literally the worst piece of trash game I’ve ever seen)
Soon
you will understand the hatred that burns within me for these games
They have many many strong points. Excellent region design in Kalos. The beauty and french theme were well implemented, intro of mega evos, good mons. Simplified experience.
Only issues for me is they needed a Z version, lack of post game content.
They’re great games regardless of what people say or what reviews are written on them :]
I feel it was a great stepping stone for the future games.. a necessity
I agree I love every Pokémon game when playing it the first time
It’s not the best, but it’s not the worst Pokémon game I’ve had the pleasure of playing
I feel like grotle and empoleon design kind sum up dp… Like no.. just.. no
I didn’t even bring up diamond and pearl
Wasn’t meant for u. Glitch
What? Empoleon is a great design
Ok I know Alola Vulpix and Vulpix have a nice color scheme, but dang how much merchandise is gonna be this AlolaVulpixxVulpix. There are other mons.
I still wish shiny alolan vulpix was pink
cotton candy fox
So many Alolan shinies I wish were different
Like Kommo-o white and silver and maybe Crabomniable’s fur was a bit darker with its boiled red face
We must admit the Alolan Cheesepuff was a good shiny tho
Didnt i make one for you 😛
yess… ;~;
enjoy

No.
You have to buy merchandise to get them tho lol
its why i said enjoy. enjoy spending your money
“Japan gets everything.”
That’s sooo.. 5 hours ago ?
Oh boy, I can’t wait to get my 3rd Hoopa, 4th/5th Manaphy and 5th/6th Meloetta.
I just wish they would make mythicals available in game
i wanna use Meloetta and Shaymin in an actual playthrough
Yeah events need to stop…they don’t even make sense. It’s not like GF makes money on them because they release them for free. Just put everything in one game.
I was gonna say true… But in their mind.. it keeps the games relevant for longer.. so they don’t have to rush out the games.. I’d rather hack personally. Than wait
Just patch them in then honestly if that’s really necessary. In gen 4 everything unlocked an event. Make that a possibility again
Stole it from Seraph but UBs arent determined upon entering the portal. it is in fact Soft Resetting

Good to know
Look at how pretty he is >w<
It won’t hesitate to unload over thousands of volts of electricity into your body
It’s worth it for a hug from Wireboi
Do you want your ashes in an urn or just pissed on?
They will kinda just sink into the Ultra Space soil
Unless some wind scatters them,
Into the Ultra space wind?

Pretty much, I don’t got a follow up quote or reference, I’m kinda tired
Christmas tree!
So XY receive a lot of hate.
Understandably there were a few weak points like all games (Pokemon). And I will say probably the weakest games overall.
However IMO XY were faaar better than DP. DP was utter trash, so slow and boring with so many flaws.
It was Platinum that saved gen 4 and if XY got a Z fixing issues XY had it would be much better.
Anyways I plan to play XY over and over regardless of all the hate and reviews :] ?
I do feel dp was kind of boring and really lacked an identity. I liked the pokes tho
Dp
True but Platinum were great games they fixed most of the issues with DP and I loved team galactic!
I feel like ur saying all this to counter Star more then doing this out of you just thinking
For sure. However I recently played Y and I stand by my point. They are games I enjoy regardless of the hate they receive.
Of course we are all entitled to our own opinion and that’s mine.
yea but like, it felt more like Im gonna counter this person more then Hey im sharing my own opinion.
You realize that I agree that DP suck right? lol
I know you do but I feel that XY biggest issue was they lacked a Platinum hence why I made that point.
Imagine DP never got Platinum, it would probably recieve more negative feedback.
XY were you felt had a lot more potential which GF never fulfilled sadly.
You can mention that in ur review how the lack of Z screwed XY over.
If DP never got Platinum, no one would ever talk about liking Sinnoh. So that’s why no one likes Kalos, because there was no Z.
Well, other than the music, which was amazing both times
That’s what I mean. I don’t get why they abandoned Z.
Honestly it’s a shame. But really I guess the problem can’t be that there wasn’t a Z, but that they definitely rushed X&Y. It came out only a year after B2W2. Coupled with that graphical leap, they definitely rushed everything else about the game. Had it been given another 6 months or a year, it would’ve been more polished.
Yeah 100% agree with you the 3ds was a big jump and there were a lot of constraints!
that… that doesn’t make it a better game…
I actually feel like time constraints have always been GF’s probably biggest problem. But who’s to say if it’s their own fault or external pressure from Nintendo.
Has to be Nintendo!
Sure.
The company that delayed Pikmin 3, Breath of the Wild, and Animal Crossing New Leaf to make them the best they can be is pressuring game freak to rush the games
Makes PERFECT sense
They didnt abandoned Z? they never had any thoughts of doing Z in the first place.
I’m sure the thought at least crossed their mind. But they probably realized X&Y would need so much help that they would rather put that time and effort into ORAS and S/M instead.
The thought must have crossed their mind as ultron has said below as it was a norm for them to do a 3rd Version or a sequel in BW2 case.
I liked it personally.. lol
Well, *a lot of people* then lol
Uh.. that isn’t how this works?
Diamond and Pearl are sh*t. Platinum existing doesn’t change that? Platinum is the good one.
If Z existed, X and Y would still be trash.
It does however save Sinnoh’s face. Z would have made a better representative for Kalos as Plat did for Sinnoh.
XY being trash is your good opinion, I don’t think they’re as bad as made out.
*facepalm*
Can we treat these games like actual video games please? The region itself shouldnt excuse Diamond and Pearl. Like… that makes no sense.
It does if you think about it, think..
As for me it’s getting late here.
Good night junglers.
???? If Diamond and Pearl were… let’s just say a 5/10 before Platinum
It wouldn’t jump to a 7/10 because Platinum exists
Yes it wouldn’t of course.
What I’m saying is DPPT were the main gen 4 games. HGSS were remakes.
XY were the main games of gen 6. ORAS were remakes.
Gen 4 for has PT. Gen 6 has nothin but XY.
What I’m saying is not the games the generation benefited if you want to get technical.
Ultron has said something similiar below.
Anyways i have to go, I look forward to your review.
IM NOT REVIEWING GEN 6 IM REVIEWING X AND Y
God you make my head hurt so bad
That’s irrelevant to me as these comments are coming under my post not your review. Furthermore XY are gen 6 games so there is a link which if you fail to acknowledge then I fear will impact the quality and credibility of your impending review.
My head is doing just fine, it’s called mental strength xD
I’m going now, from here on you are replying to my ?. No disrespect intended.
I treat pokemon games like any other video games. Not part of some generation. Can’t see how that hurts my credibility but whatever
I feel like it’s not really an either or thing, both DP and X&Y kinda suck. But DP had Platinum to save them. RIP Z version. They’re all playable, but so flawed.
I’m going to admit, we disagree in terms of that
DP does have flaws (especially cause I am at VR underleveled and don’t want to train rn) and XY has flaws
Really every Pokémon game has at least one flaw in it, but we’ll that’s just life
I honestly am in the stand point that LG is my favorite game. After playing it again it really is fun, replayable and simple, yet challenging enough to keep me on my toes
Everything is flawed. (Except for Marina she’s perfect)
There is a point when there are just so many flaws where you have to take a step back and say “Ok so this thing sucks”
I just realized it’s going to be very hard to catch shiny UB: Burst because its signature move does 1/2 HP recoil. NOOOOOOOOOO
Save your masterball for it.
and it suits it well too
Yeah…I guess….:/
One of the reasons I’m hyped for USUM: catching these bad boys (and soft resetting for their shinies in Ultra Sun someday)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSMQYDYBALY
It’s too bad I’ll never have a shiny UB burst because no one will ever want a shiny assembly :3
Earthen will trade you
Haha perfect reply xD
He probably won’t but he at least likes Assembly and I’m sure he’s getting Sun over Moon.
I’d want one, Yellow suits it
If you get a shiny burst lemme know
;~:
Get US. UB Burst is amazing
i would but I want totem salazzle
I’m starting to think I need to actually stop lying to myself and actually go through a revival and pick up the piecies of my favorites lists and actually start getting my sh*t back in order
Like actually sitting back and thinking who really is my favorite Pokémon? Favorite Region? Favorite typ… Oh wait thats still Water. Least favorites? Favorite Mythical? Favorite character?
I honestly have been just dragging my now scattered ideas for so long, I need to reboot. And I’m actually headed to bed now, see you guys tomorrow!
Kurusu having an extistential crisis over what his favorite Pokémon
Next time on dragon ball z
Good night friend :]
Good night!
