Now live in Australia, Japan, and mainland Europe, the games will be debuting soon elsewhere. And fans are encouraged to share their progress in the comments below! Please be respectful to fellow fans and refrain from sharing spoilers about the storyline.

Good to know. I’ll have to keep my eyes open when the time comes
So it is unavailable with its’ HA in these games?
I want it so bad
Hmmm . If I end up using Midnight Lycanroc that means two things. First I’ll have to play UM. That would certainly help me with my indecisiveness. The other thing is that it means I wont have anything “new” on my team. It really would have been nice if there were other new forms (specifically regional ones….). It feels kind of sad to not have anything crazy new on my team that I couldn’t already have in SM. I guess them’s the breaks tho. I might actually go for Midnight. It’s a cool form and could be fun to use. Plus again it reminds me of my baby dog whom I love so much.
You can always get help with evolving though.
It’s 8:15 am in Japan. PJ is probably having a blast playing USUM right now. Happy for you PJ!

Nah he’s prolly working. He’s a teacher so school is prolly in session.
Then we are in the same boat. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0647223421a741a48d5448605e347689a01aefcf944440834b568f460a5ad839.png
Where do you keep finding these images…?
You can find anything on the internet these days. Including your burrow, nest, whatever a deer lives in. I’m not sure.
I live in the forest, silly~
Interesting…Lucky those in places like Japan get to have it now because of Timezones
And I have to wait till like 3:00 tomorrow just to get the dang thing
On Serebii.net one of the stickers is located in the Poni Gauntlet. Does this mean that 100 Stickers Totem is not available until Post-game?!
makes sense
But I wanted to use Totem Kommo-o in my main story team…
Well you thought wrong
I know. Man I am going to have to rethink my team. Yes it has to be Giant. What do you think about Bewear, would that be a good replacement?
As long as it has Fluffy.
Why would anyone not use Fluffy?
I know but just making sure you check it has it.
When your Cuddles the Beware (I wasn’t picky during SuMo and had a good time)
I honestly think if he’s going for a Z-Crystal using Beware I suggest Klutz (You don’t take super effective from Fire and Z moves work even with klutz)
Might as well use Cute Charm, Klutz is ew, the defensive boost from Fluffy is worth the Fire Weakness.
so excited for tomorrow
i have to wait till 12:00am EST to get my copy of ultra moon. DX i know its only like 5 hours which if you think about it isn’t that long but still i cant wait!!!
Honestly I’m just going to stay up all night to play it. Sleep is no longer important 0.0
I have a very big problem
WHERE WILL I DISPLAY MY GAME BOXES?!?!??
My mantle is filled up!!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e48f82f51904a586c4bdccdd1752fd8001a7c865dec42b2076e11f7d9908cbd9.jpg
Maybe on the arch? Or on the other side seperate from the Zelda game
That’s my window… Maybe I will just put them over there
Tape it to your window.
You have to start sticking them on the ceiling.
I kept telling myself to add an extension but no I was lazy and vertically challenged (I don’t like being on step stools)
thats impressive…
If I had the room I’d display all my game boxes, I want one of those blockbuster racks or something to display em
Shelves
Linoone gets Extremespeed as an egg move now, watch out everyone.
Still has to survive after using Belly Drum
I wasn’t being that serious.
Well trust me it can totally surprise ya if you aren’t prepare
A move that has the highest priority and stab with 4x attack
Pretty much anything will have a bad time unless you have a rock, steel and ghost
Monkeyfuzz I need help!!
Wipe front to back
What with?
If you don’t mind I need help evolving my Kadabra in ORAS.
I was gonna keep it as a Kadabra but im having doubts ill get past the e4!
Can you do it right now? I need to sleep soon.
Yes I’m ready.
Do we have each others details??
Not sure, here FC: 0748 – 2744 – 4660 IGN: James
I have you!
FC: 1049 – 3838 – 8617 IGN: Ash
OK, coming online
You want it to learn calm mind?
I have the TM and plan to use it to obliterate the e4 but thanks!
Also I love how you traded a Porygon!
And a million thanks!
That’s OK, I thought I might as well evolve another Porygon whilst I was here, hope that was OK.
Wait not sure if anyone saw so I’ll post again
It says UB’s other than Adhesive, Assembly and Burst, respawn after each successful trip to their world. Does this mean you can catch an unlimited amount of them? Or am I wrong?
Earthen the warrior I summon you!!

Sorry for disturbing you master (evil grin)
My initial pre order from Amazon got cancelled for US.
So for the first time in maybe 9 years I’ll be going in store to pick it up.
It reminded me of the plans you posted.
Arghhh I shall hike it there on ma alolan goleemm! ?
The hell are you going on about?
Basically my pre order for ultra sun got cancelled. So I will be going in store to buy a poke game for the first time in about 8 years.
Which reminded me of what you posted earlier, your plans for tommorow to get the games!
Makes sense?
Haha I’m the exact opposite, I always go to a store to get them 🙂
@spectralseraph:disqus, I summon thee
Watch me swooce right in
I’m real upset rn
My crush just blocked me on Instagram… and I’m literally just sitting crushed and alone at home. I need a hug and someone to talk to about it with
Why did they do that do you know?
Idk I never did anything wrong
She said she was bored and wanted someone to talk to and asked her how she was doing. And then she blocked me. Unless there is something I have done unknowingly that upset her then I did absolutely nothing
Did she know it was you
She probably did it was my face for a profile photo
I would never want to be with someone who acted like that. I know it hurts, but consider it lucky that happened.
I was told to not say from her friend, but I’ll put in spoilers
She has some form of PTSD and depression so maybe she did it due to that Idk
My girlfriend has similar issues. She does not do that. Sometimes she would want to not feel lonely and want friends, which is completely normal. It isn’t normal to ask to talk to someone, and them block that person after they’ve helped.
At least you reached out, perhaps in her own time she will give a reason or change her mind.
Maybe it was accidental? I don’t have the app so idk how easy that is to do.
Been there it hurts, just give it time and don’t go nuts asking her to unblock ya,
I kinda want to ask her why. Not even to unblock me, just what reason did I give her to basically ignore and loathe me
Well try to do it as subtle as humanly possible, trust me.
I second Earthen’s opinion. People usually assume that others can read between the lines when in reality We are not infallible. If you want to ask to understand where you went wrong, I would actually advise not to do that right now or to actively seek out answers. If you pass by this person later you can ask later when you feel you can do it naturally. Or if given time and accumulation of experiences, you may come to the answer naturally.
Unhelpful comment but I originally read that as “We are not inflatable”.
NOT untrue…….XD
https://m.popkey.co/71482d/1Z4dL.gif
Well we can be inflated. But that might be considered torture and could ultimately be fatal.
Well hey if that’s what you’re in to.
http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/16/37/480×197/gallery-1473761233-harry-potter-mcgonagall-boom.gif
I made my comment before reading under the spoiler tag you put up. Everything I said I still stand by except I stand a little less by my last statement about naturally coming to the answer through an accumulation of experience. This may be more of an internal issue which probably should not be broached.
I just don’t get how I could envoke something
I never even heard of her name till this year. But Idk maybe I tried to hard to be a friend only to push myself far away
I just realized if my friend is still having the party and we both will be there… at this point I might just give her a gift and leave (if I do get over this girl or come to terms, I want nothing to do with her)
NO!!!!! Don’t do that. Dude listen…..don’t let this ruin you having a good time. Stay at the party. Don’t even give her a hint it bothers you. Just hang out with your friends and have a good time. The only way you’ll meet someone is by being yourself and being with the people you care about. If she see’s the really you then maybe things can change. And again if things don’t change then that’s ok too. It’ll all work itself out, but you can’t let this one thing dictate how you live your life. Just live the way you want and everything will fall into place one way or another.
Only problem is its her friends so it probably will mean I’ll know her and Boyfriend only and they definetly will get to be the center of attention (Then again her party, I wouldn’t care if she got the spotlight)
And the fact I was willing to do something that I have never wanted to do (Ice skate) just to talk to this girl and get to know her. only to now know I will sit in a room of people I don’t know at a thing I don’t particularly like for someone who will ignore me or dislike me the whole time… (Sorry I feel like I’m being so negative)
No it’s fine you’re having a rough day it seems. Maybe if you go to the party you’ll find other people you can talk to. Maybe someone else that likes Pokemon even! It’s never a bad ting to meet new people. Worst case scenario you stick around for a little while and then take off a little early. You’ll still be there for your friend, maybe meet someone new that you share interests with, and maybe even have a little bit of fun. Ice skating is a good time too! If it’s your first time I get it’s scary, but once you get on the ice and try it out it can be a good experience. Trust me as someone who was VERY introverted when in school I get how you feel. Going to a party where you barely know people can be nerve wracking, but you may find you might meet someone. Hell maybe if you stay the party for a little while you may even meet someone new and hit it off with them. Maybe even another girl in which you KNOW you have stuff in common. At least give it some thought. You may end up regretting not staying later on down the road.
I will go now just for this experience. Thanks Buddy
No problem. Let us know how it goes! Just try and have fun. No pressure!
Yet I think it’s on the weekend of the 24th?
Weekend after Thanksgiving huh? That’s a weird weekend, but I guess if that’s when her bday is that’s when her bday is.
I think that is the best move. It might not be the easiest, but in the long run it will benefit the most number of individuals including yourself.
You dont know if she loathes you. Maybe shes having issues at home. You cam never be sure.
And if she does loathe you good so what let her loathe you, youre strong and these minor things wont affect you!
If you let hate effect you then what will you do in more serious situations in life? Be strong oh jungler!
I’ve experienced so many depressing situations related to non-relationships that I’m just numb to the whole idea of relationships now. At least you’re not me.
Friend! As an older jungler (assuming you’re younger than me) my advice to you don’t worry. Literally just laugh.
It may seem hard right now, crushes and love can be painful especially in early days but you’ll grow up and find the one who deserves you and one day you’ll look back and laugh at this!!!
Don’t let it bother you! Show your mental strength! You’re better than this! You can get through this!
Value yourself! Believe in yourself!
Back in my school days I used 2 get nervous maan I screwed up so badly youd never imagine but it helped me in long run
BASICALLLY with all due respect dont let a woman control your life and emotions.
You’re young! Youve got a life ahead of you more and better opportunities will come.
Trust me fam if you was here I’d set set you straight.
If she has blocked you then with all due respect is that someone you want 2 share ur life with, someone so unpredictable and one who blocks you?
She isnt ur boss!Youre equal so you deserve to be treated with respect
FAM dont bring urself down and lose ur self value over others.
People should respect you!
It works both way.
Man up and go with the flow.
You’ll find your girl trust me to the moon and back ur issues is what eveey guy and girl go through
Im here any questions ask!
And just relax
It just upsets me so as unlike so many around me I fail at relationships because I feel like no one (excluding a select few) really likes me and that it will always stay that way
Oh shut up maan.
Thats a lie.
Thats imo a lack of self confidence.
DONT base ur life on people liking you as youll always be let down.
Practice emotional strength and independence!
Be a man who can stand alone.
And dont try too hard thats where you fail let it happen naturally.
Youre young its not like youre a 50 year old opportunities will come.
Also DGAF about others let others succeed in having a million girls. Dont compare ur situation to others. Everyones life is different.
If you focus on urself in building confidence, mental strength and character and uh chasing ur goals e.g. career, the women will come running after you.
Do NOT be weak and clingy or desperate that always fails.
Look women and men respect and desire those people who are confident, have a presence and in your case a dominant BUT BUT respectful one. Look after ur appearance,be responsible for ur life family and beliefs then people will respect you and as you continue to improve more and more avenues will open.
HUGS!!! Sorry friend. Any reason why? Could have been a mistake. It’s not like someone would block you if they didn’t think something was up.I’m not saying something is…..I’m just trying to figure out why they’d do that……ok I’m gonna shut up now………
Its ok
I honestly don’t see what I did.
When she was upset I told her “that I hope she gets better soon” she deleted the message. When she was bored, I said we could chat blocks me after. Never talked to her much
One single thing that could be a thing is that she thinks I just stared at her, which is half true. I glance at her occasionally in the one class we have together (even though can’t do that as she sits in the back of my row) and a lot of the other times is because she walks into my line of sight
I don’t giving encouragement, liking her posts and accidentally looking in her direction really is a reason to block me
Hmmm well best of luck guy. These things can be tough sometimes. School life can be hard. Just gotta pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, and keep on keeping on. I agree with what the others said below. Don’t go chasing after her her super hard now. If it’s meant to be things will will work out. The harder you push right now the weirder things will be between you two. Just gotta play it cool. Given time it may all make sense. If it doesn’t then that’s ok too.
Another thing. We all fall in love but in the end do you know what matters?
The girl you end up spending your life is one you can trust, who will lopk after you and someone who will be there to the end.
Looks and crushes dont matter then coz that’s when true love appears.
In other words you’re battling small issues here, your time will come.
Your priority is to be mentally strong and uh have a dominant but respectful personality.
That’s what she will like or any girl is to see youre independent ur a man/guy who can direct, who has self confidence, who isnt clingy cos they hate guys who are clingy.
Be a superstar, a millionaire whatever motivates you chase that and girls will follow including this one .
But if you mope around it wont change anything, in fact it will depress your life and make her and others respect you less.
If you strengthen up, gather ur wisdom, lead a independent goal chasing productive life make urself a better person you’ll have a flock of girls chasing you.
Thats my experience and advice for you.
Trust me you will get through!
This is nothing hahahaha xD
Also you come across to me at least as a soft and emotional/good hearted person.
Awesomee! That’s great just like me (except the heart) do not change.
BUT what needs to change is you need to have boundaries that others cant cross.
Dont be a slave to others.
Be firm but nice
Have authority but with respect
Be strong yet forgiving
Its a rough world out there so you need to have mental strength and strength in ir character.
Guess how to get it? Easy. You only you can by constantly making effort on urself and always self reflecting e.g how have i improved, ok so what can i do to improve etc
Why dis they block you though?
Did you invade their personal space?
You were only a crush, not a relationship.. so it sounds very possible.
Just move on…
Time will heal.
Someday you’ll have a true relationship to cry over ?
Thanks and I actually got another little Ray of hope
Her friend who is also my friend (the one who’s having the party) told me she normally doesn’t do this and is going to look deeper for me to help me. Why do I question my friendship with her? She like the coolest female friend I have irl
Anyone know if the Battle Agency is confirmed to be singles only? Doubles is my favorite format (apart from rotation, but I don’t get my hopes up about ever seeing it too much again)
I think I saw doubles, but I’m not quite sure
I think only singles, but I could be wrong.
I loved rotation as well!
So because I can’t settle on a team and new information that I learned about Totem Pokémon, I am starting with UM and here is my team. Please let me know about your thoughts.
-Astolfo the Primarina (Male) Again, Dae points to anyone who figures out the reasoning behind this naming scheme.
-Pearl the Toucannon (Female) I forgot if the crystal gems actually identify with a gender. If not, could someone please let me know so I won’t have to spend extra time looking for a female Pikipek. I would also like to hear Star’s opinion on this nickname.
-Drunk Ubear the Beware (M/F) I had to get some help for this nickname. I think that I am quite happy with this one.
-Varazzless the Salazzle [Totem] (Female) i based this nickname on the genus name of the Komodo Dragon. Salazzles are female and draconic in appearance so I added the -ess of dragoness at the end. Yes I like Komodo Dragons.
Thor the Togedamaru [Totem] (M/F) I don’t want to reset for gender unless it really pertains to the nickname and there has been a male and female Thor in the Marvel comics so less work for me.
Loki the Mimikyu [Totem] (M/F) Same reasoning for Thor.
I will let y’all know about my US team later.
https://www.destructoid.com//ul/user/2/217171-271340-downloadjpg-220x.jpg
Fun Fact: Zoidberg never once said the phrase “Why not Zoidberg?” in the series.
OK, I just thought it looked funny.
It is funny. Didn’t mean to be a bummer….. ;p
E-A-R-T-H-E-N Eaaarrrthen
E-A-R-T-H-E-N Eaaaaarrrrthen
Saying E A R Theeeeeeeeeeen
If you are referring to my US team, I already have a team planned out, but by the time I get around to it I am not sure if I am going to stick with it. I will probably getting around to unveiling it once I commit to nicknames for all of them. That seems to be the factor that solidified them as team members.
I also plan to use Bewear! Overall well-balanced and diverse team.
Thanks. Yea I made a last minute change and added Bewear since I found out that a Pokémon I wanted to use was locked post-game.
Y a male primarina?
It is based off of the best Male character that looks like a girl this anime season.
Lol. Ok
Yea, I know that for whatever reason gender is a touchy subject with Primarina. I don’t care about that. I just thought of a nickname that fit how much I liked Primarina and the gender was just so that I would stay true to the name.
Certain Pokemon should be one gender only… But maybe nowadays that would give bad press. Unless it came with good reason like Salazzle.. I think that’s the name… 0_0
My competitive Primarina is a beautiful boy >:/
Whelp it’s the final night before USUM and I think I’ve made my decisions…..I’m going with UM and I’m gonna use Midnight Lycanroc. It’s been a long journey for me, but I think I’ll be happier this way. So here’s my team. (as if I haven’t posted this before in some fashion lol) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/601ef36f49b8eb6419b5745d864a08b8e85203b3c191773683a70ee53ceca757.png
As an added bonus here’s another team I put together a really long time ago for Primarina. Maybe if I ever play through US later on I can use this team. That or it’ll be my team in 15 years when we get a SM remake haha
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/26a7b17b7039a323d77655de3d4197a454227632f45bc486b491c8443454d8bd.png
The first team is way better in general.
I also enjoy the first team which is why I’m using it. The second team is a bunch of Pokemon I’d like to use, but their all basically B team Pokemon for me….Well I guess actually they’re the C team since I’m going with the top team in UM this time making them the B team. hahaha
First team is better
Apparently so haha
You’re making really want to use Krookodile & Araquanid instead of Lycanroc (Dusk) & Ambipom lol
Aipom is late/post game btw so you’ll either have to wait or trade it in some way.
I know, but thanks anyways. I was planning on snatching one from the GTS and then breeding my own.
One day I’ll use Aipom. I love Aipom so much, but it’s one of those Pokemon that is forever out of my reach when building a decent team…..I wish Ambipom looked better…..and was part fighting or something……
Agreed with the part fighting. Or at the very least not just Normal only
I also end up not using normal types. Normal type has always been a weird type for me. Many of the normal type mons have decent designs, but ultimately you’re gonna end up putting other kinds of attacks on them At that point why not just use a Pokemon that gets STAB from the attack……..
They get immunity to ghost and Stab normal. I mean, people put other type moves on most Pokemon. It’s no different. It won’t be super effective is what u mean I guess.. but they have it her qualities and good power and stats typically
Plus many normal moves have high power… Giga impact
And only fighting is super effective against it. Really balances out
Aipom is one of the cutest pokemon ever
It really is
So weak… Unbelievable it was ever a stand alone Pokemon. I felt the same
Gotta go to sleep now, hopefully I can get the game tomorrow after seeing Just ice league.
Why does Zeraora have Volt Absorb…
Why not?
Idk, it just seems like a huge waste for a new ability or something at least beneficial
^^^^^^^^^^^^
I knew Seraph would have something to say about this lol
plasma fists turns normies into electries
I can’t see that being that helpful. So its ability is only viable if you’re facing a pokemon with a normal move that you turn into an electric attack, either forcing a switch, forcing them to use a different move, or if they’re dumb enough, they’ll heal you
Well tough
I’m just saying it seems too conditional to be that useful. and again, it should be electric/fighting
Den they’d have two fighting mythicals
They’ve had multiple Psychic ones before, not really a problem.
In the same gen?
Jirachi and Deoxys.
Meloetta Victini
Oh yeah and those too.
Keldeo and meloetta share the fighting type as well
Also that.
You can also switch in on a predicted Electric attack. It would likely have benefited more from Lightning Rod
true, but there are probably better volt absorbers out there
There are. It could have had a new ability or a better one. Defiant could have been good for example.
yeah. All well, still looks cool
Or double battles.. make your other Pokemon hit it .. I think discharge hits everyone on field
Probably because Plasma Fists makes Normal moves electric, which I assume includes the opponent?
Here’s my starting team.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c8fdf79d5708e3e1bc778c332bb2ff004c6511fdceb5131a99297a00ee31504.png
You’re using 5 Unown F? ;P
it describes my current situation against hedlok in arms… FFFFF…
I would seconded it, F is my favorite Uknown as it was the first one I ever caught
I’m choosing Popplio, mainly because I already chose Litten for Sun
I only want popplio if it’s female deer, it’s hard being a male Primarina, i bet…
I’m going to be using Rowlet for the first time, I’m excited!
Same here!! I used Popplio in the first b/c I loved Primarina, but I also really wanted to use Rowlet.
A solid well rounded team imo. I think the game will be almost too easy for you
Your ending team better include 6 Unowns. That Litten is amateur hour.
…i had six, but the last one died in a plane crash…
Let me guess, the location of the crash is still…
…Unown?
Yes, actually… they were in the military, have you ever heard of the unown soldier?
I hate you…….XP
I refuse to upvote this
.___. That’s it
*Clocks shotgun*
…..
“Bang!”
*Thud*
Everstone?
Oh, Arceus, I just realized I didn’t name all my pokemon!! Any help/thoughts?
-Togekiss (male): ???
-Vikavolt (male): Plasma Blade
-Snorlax (male): ???
-Tyranitar (female): Zillo or Kaiju
-Chandelure (male): ???
-Gyarados (male): Shrimpy
Can I ask for something I’m doing
What’s your favorite Pokémon?
Volcarona
Got it!

Togetic
Volcarona!!
Shoot I’ll have to do doubles then
Thanks though
Luxray
I am so beyond tired, but I gotta wait to go to bed
I just know I’m gonna wake up extremely early like 5 or even 4 and not get a wink
Will pokebank be available immediately?
Prolly not. If it was gonna be it would have been announced for an update by now and people would have access to it already due to the game being out in most of the world already.
Anyone know what Fairy, Ultra Monster and Fedex’s favorite Pokémon are off the top of their head?
Oh god I hate this question……….It’s always so tough to answer……..For now I guess let’s just say Typhlosion haha
Ok I’m so glad you didn’t say Adhesive. I looked all over Google and not one picture comes without background
Haha glad I could oblige
So ya know mine?
Yep Marshadow? Pls tell me I don’t have to look for you know what
Look for what?
Zerora, it would be a b*tch to place as it has no official art yet
I hate that 🙁
Gotta pretend he don’t exist a year!
I hate tht stupid thing
Wait what?! I thought you loved it or at least liked it?
I despise zera
