It’s been announced that the latest Pokémon games for the Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, will be able to use the storage app Pokémon Bank at the end of November.
Currently you can import Pokémon from past games into your copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, but it requires having a copy of either Pokémon Sun or Moon from which you need to import them first. Depositing Pokémon will also become much more seamless, especially with new Ultra Beasts that are not compatible with the first Gen VII games. Pokémon Bank requires a yearly subscription of $4.99 to hold your Pokémon and may delete them if your subscription lapses. Please be careful when using.
For those who already have a copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, remember to download the event Rockruff via Mystery Gift! The little guy comes at level 10, holding a Focus Band, with the moves Tackle, Bite, Happy Hour, Thunder Fang/Fire Fang (Ultra Moon/Ultra Sun respectively), and is currently the only way to obtain Lycanroc Dusk Form in game. In addition, a special 3DS Theme featuring Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma, accompanied by the main background theme for Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, is now available in the Theme Shop!
Happy USUM release! Excited to expand your Bank collection in the near future?










So my game arrived at a facility in San Francisco half an hour ago…it’s been almost 24 hours since the last update. What the heck happened, and will they still get it here within 5 hours? Find out next time in the next exciting installment.
Make sure you politely but sufficiently complain if it doesn’t.
My new friends :3 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7992c32b242923127237fb0ce7f723d617c0145f74d8f2be2d656e766437122e.jpg
Are the non-nicknamed ones temporary or did you just not want to nickname them?
The non-nicknamed ones i transferred and cba as of yet to visit the name rater lol
Oh, you’ll have to transfer them back to do it too.
Soooo
My team RN is:
Bowan the Dartrix (like in Bow and arrow) lv 21 (male)
Ginger the Rockruff (cuz Dusk Lycanroc has Orange fur) lv 18 (female)
And
Joey the (Alolan) Meowth (after one of my cats) lv 19 (male)
I’m in the middle of the 2nd Trial
Don’t forget you only have like an hour window to evolve into Duskanroc.
Yeah, I remember. I had to tell my parents that we can’t go anywhere from 5 pm to 5:59pm tommorow lol
You can just change your 3DS clock tho right? Cos atm its 12:50 AM here and my Rockruff is almost lv25
I think so, it will affect certain other things in the game like festival plaza stuff will all be closed for a few days.
Not planning on Plaza until after the E4 unless something story-related happens
I only really use it for the lottery stands.
The fact that the save button on the menu screen isn’t one of the main buttons is so weird! Interesting that they made it’s own little thing with a hot key.

Better with the Chicken Hat.
I still prefer this default hairstyle over the new one.
“YOU CANT GET RID OF ME”
Wow I was just grinding levels on Route 1 and ran into this pink beauty. I didn’t think I would run into a shiny so soon XD

Eww, a Yungoos. Release it. We don’t need a shiny Donald Trumpz
>:c *hugs Yungoos* How dare you, I’ll never release this baby
Now we know how the President got elected into office. Yungoos better not be in the next generation of games or we might have another 4 years of DT.
I hate when people compare the Yungoos line with him just because they happen to have the same hair style XP
I’ll always remember running into a shiny Pidgey about five encounters into my playthrough of HeartGold. I still have it in my Bank!
I found in SS once a Shiny Weedle after CherryGrove on my first encounter after getting Pokeballs
We should always Cherish are special shinies
c: Nice
Is that even possible? You don’t get pokeballs until you get back from getting the meeting with Oak, if I’m not mistaken.
Probably got lucky with having little to no encounters until pokeballs were available
Nice find 🙂
c: Thank you
I hath returned from dinner and about to talk to Anal backwards
Very clever of you lmao
Couldn’t have realized it, if you didn’t point out that there was a deeper meaning to his sentence.
Hahaha yes I should be less obvious 😛
I get it now-a similar case to Ekans. Great job keeping these games PG Earthen. I did not realize that was how it was read if it were read backwards.
Went to the beach today with friends but it was still a rough day. Still won’t be able to play UM until Tomorrow. I want to just sleep until I have to leave for my flight but I have a lot to do before that time. Anyone else in the same boat in not being able to play the games yet? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0647223421a741a48d5448605e347689a01aefcf944440834b568f460a5ad839.png
I have probably used this picture too many times since I have found it but it is quite fitting for both this site and today’s events.
Im not either
How long do you have to wait?
Sorry about that my friend 🙁
I do want to say it’s worth the wait to get
I will probably have a blast playing it. But I will be very busy in the days to come-even though it is a week long break-so I don’t think I will be able to play the game much except for when I am in the car.

Got these earlier today (Yes, I got the poster too)
Cool man!
I’m about to fight Totem Wishiwashi
Me: “I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I’m not afraid”
Gi-Effing-Gantic Araquanid hissing at me “OH FAAAAAAAK!!!!!!”
Man I love the new battle UI it’s so cool looking
Off topic but Delta episode is sooo under rated.
Aside from the ultra cool mission in protecting Hoenn from a falling asteroid during which you battle a friggin Deoxys in space, you also see the renaissance of Team aqua under Matt (in AS), learn about the lore behind Hoenn,the Draconids, Mega evolution, significant past events as well as talk about the great war/ultimate weapon.
You go back and forth around Hoenn, revisit team aquas base who aren’t dead.
Many characters get development or more screen time in Steven, his dad, evil team, Wallace etc
You have challenging battles in Wallace with his Emerald team IIRC, Zinnia and Deoxys.
All this topped off with the meteor show in Mossdeep.
And its as long as main game.
Love it :]
HOLY FUCC. Playing with overworld Pokemon is so FREAKING adorable!!!!! I played with the Rockruff on route 1 and now we’re best buddies!!!!
Looks like you’re having fun!
Awesome. Can’t wait 2 join you!
I have US but finishing up in Hoenn and will get to Alola tommorow.
The wait is killing me!! xD
Hahaha sounds like you have your hands full.
Yes! I was rushing to finish AS coz obviously its all about usum but then it was no fun.
So im doing delta and some legendary catching whilst finishing hoenn anime THEN ill be ready tmoro!
Welp… here we go I guess. 6(?) months of frustration and bad marketing.
Also the GameStop I went to had a bunch of extra preorder posters that they were giving away for free so that was rad

Enjoy yourself!
Just try to enjoy the game for what it is. the general story both SM/USUM sounds good so try not to think about it too much.
You gonna try for a Limber Buneary?
Oooo I should
SOS only calls once without the adrenaline orb so idk how early you get those now. If you like I could trade you a couple.
Necrozma is not evil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUZ42Pkj2TU
Necrozma IS Nebbys’ new bag.
Necrozma IS Nebbys’ Savior
Lelno
????
That’s not true at all? Lol?

Stakatak has really grown on me, which makes me even more happy that I’ll be starting with Ultra Moon. The individual bits changing from blue to red based on its mood is just awesome.
Is this from the new guide book? I’m considering getting it, but not sure. Maybe as an Xmas gift so I don’t have to spend money on it.
Is there any art of Naganadel?
So at this point my steelbook is definitely coming tomorrow, which is a bit sad. Seems like other people have had this problem though for whatever reason, even though it DID ship yesterday like it’s supposed to. I’m actually not upset but I will still request some money back from Amazon…sorry, not sorry.
did u pay for shipping?
It’s Prime release day, so I am actually owed money anyway…
true. but they will probably just give u $10 credit
That sucks, I got mine on time from Amazon :/
My god the introduction to the Ultra Recon Squad is so goofy. It’s like they stick out like a sore thumb and then on top of it the dialog is so expositiony it’s almost hilarious hahaha. All that said I love their theme
I want to know what Soliera and Phycos dialogue is like! I know that Zossie is kind of fun loving and Dulse was serious but do the others have the same dynamic?

I appreciate that there are less cutscenes at the beginning but I still wish I could skip them
Tired…….total game time exactly 10:30 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2e470cf1fbd7463a97c59994c5c196ce968c9417e9e658a0e5a7f23de4a3d843.jpg
I wanna stop but I can’t
You’re gonna burn out
Jesus Christ there’s a lot of trainers in this game. Only just got to Kukui’s house and between route one and the beach where his place is there are like 1000 trainers haha
Did you get to a PC fairly quickly?
Takes at least a hour into gameplay
Well that’s annoying, I want to drop off my starter early as possible.
For future reference does anyone know, how can I get the celebi I’m supposed to get for downloading Pokémon silver? Also can i only get one or one per game?

My current team
Just started my adventure and picked my Litten! Im trying to be more into the whole nature aspect of my pokemon and my Litten has a modest nature… no im not about to restart this so it is what it is lol
