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?

Here’s what my trainer looks like so far
Are there more options earlier on in terms of Trainer customization?
I think there are more hairstyles for Males. You also get Dexio’s shirt from the get-go for some reason (Idk if that also applies to Ultra Moon). Anyways, yeah, I think there are more.
Hmm. That is a nice shirt.
Indeed
I checked Serebii and all clothes are available in both games
Wow I just realized as all you guys are showing your characters… Because my family is super strict at night about playing games (because of “family time”) I still don’t have the Z-Power Ring and haven’t played since my last update
Why are people so f*cking stupid?

What the hell?
This was just in my articles I might like. I do not like
Da f*ck?
I think it’s stupid too
I’ve been documenting my journey so far thanks to the photo club, so here it is so far!!! 😀
https://imgur.com/gallery/Qli2J
it’s sad that in 3ds there is no better way to share them in internet 🙁
Holy balls a Wimpod smacked right into me in the tunnel to northern akala
It’s a sign
Lmao my mareanie just badly poisoned a totem to death ? that’s one way to win
I won’t lie, the Pikachu Shirt and Cap don’t look too bad
When do you get the Rockruff that evolves into Dusk Form?
Any time you want using mystery gift
Is it via Internet then?
Yes
Oh my god, Totem Lurantis is hell without a Fire Type.
Thank god I had hawlucha
I couldn’t even beat it with the Event Rockruff cuz apparently Grass Type moves are super effective against Rock.
M 8
W A T
??
It was even hell with a modest salandit and a freaking adamant torracat! TGhis totem is straight hell and I love it!
Yeee
Marowak was the one that schlonged me
Agreed
Hey, in SM, does the pokepelago only ev train while the game is in? I forgot to train my shiny rowlet, so I tried to start that last night, and went back to USUM, but it hasn’t made any progress. I guess this is normal, but isn’t there some easier way? :/
I don’t think so. It should train them if you take it out as long as you don’t screw with the clock on the 3DS
Which I haven’t so I don’t know why it hasn’t. Ugh, I guess I’ll try again and then just move him over and wait until I get pelago there.
Are you sure you’re looking at the EV spread and not the stat spread? You’re pressing Y on summary and everything? I’ve done that before
Help
My Event Rockruff is level 24 and it’s 5:12 PM but nothing happens when I give it a Rare Candy
I mean, it’s Evelated to lv 25 but it’s not evolving
Just try leveling it again without a Rare Candy
ITS NOT WORKING HELP
Hold on, what’s your time zone?
CET
You’re playing Ultra Moon. It’ll be using in game time.
Oh. Then he’ll have to level it up between 5:00 AM and 5:59 AM his time
Lol that sucks
Well F*ck me
Thanks, I got scared for a moment lol
Wait, does that mean changing the system clock will work?
So I traded 3 pokemon over at the first pokemon center and none of them are disobeying me…Did they change the obedience thing or am I just really lucky right now?
Ok WHY IS EVERY ELECTRONIC I OWN GIVE ME BATTERY ISSUES
First it was my laptop then my iPad mini, then my phone AND NOW MY 3DS, it was fully charged I unplugged it to sit in the living room for maybe an hour maybe even less and it started to go red, then I closed it, turns blue and shows 3/4ths charge but quickly dropped down
I mean I’ve used this 3DS so very very very much ever since I got it but of all times for something to happen it chooses now
So it’s old and you’ve worn the battery. Good thing these are probably the last games most of us will buy on the 3DS
Kirby Battle Royal tho?
Nah, I’ll just buy Switch Kirby
But… Mirror Kirby
I actually plan on buying my Switch for Star Allies
I had that problem too
I know how to keep the battery from draining like that on an old DS
Replace the battery (Amazon for like 20 bucks) but research the right screwdriver to unscrew with (the set I got gave me a Screwdriver that doesn’t fit any type of screw had even my dad has ever seen) then to make extra sure. Keep it from other electrical appliances for a bit and don’t let it get knocked around in places like a car
Trust me I have complained about this for a while till I did it and now it works fine
Well Totem Lurantis was a bust, Inferno Overdrive and down in one blow, didn’t even get a chance to summon anything
Well, I’m still struggling to beat it, the closest thing to a Fire type I have is Hidden Power on my Rockruff. All Totems (except Raticate) have been hard for me.
> Uses Z-Moves on a totem
Disgusting.
>>> complains that it was easy
>>>>>>>>used a z move on it

Judge Judy would never use the OP mechanic and complain about difficulty
Be like Judge Judy
Judge Judy finds the plantiff, earthen, guilty of being a no good cheater
Judge Judy was the Earthen checker we never knew we needed
It’s no more of Cheating then Mega’s tho?
Think, you’ll mega evolve your Lucario or Charizard v.s. a trainer who can’t utilize the tactic at all and has no compatible Pokémon for it
Y tho?
I may have done others stuff but I have done a total of 0 zmoves this playthrough
Z-Moves are a cheap tactic to make weak trainers stronger
Quit embarrassing yourself
Exactly ;3
I have not utilized the move of z’s, nor will I unless another furfrou shows up
The champion is Diantha and she uses six totem Fufrous and one of them has their OHKO Z-Move which boosts its speed and attack to max and heals it fully: Fast and Furfrou-ous
W E LP
Seriously I was not prepared for that furfrou
Chanelling your inner Jasper I see.
I only am going to use them as final blow moves like if I fight Totem Marowak and get it down to red, then I’ll use it to polish it off (kind of how Ash does them)
Out for delivery, wooo! By the looks of it I’ll have a lot of catching up to do…but I also have a LOT of work this weekend so it’ll be a grind for sure.
You really don’t, I just got to the trainer school
I’m going slow to enjoy and to still play with my brother (who hasn’t even gotten to the damn caitching Tutorial, while I have already almost beaten the school)
Team
Furball (Litten) level 10
Lola (Bunneary) level 9
Just gotta say when does Bunneary get a decent attack? Pound is boring as heck to use over and over
Game got delivered today. Booted it up. Played for an hour. Thought ‘these changes are at least nice’, and also ‘actually can’t be bothered to play it anymore’, turned off console, not in the mood to play any further.
You don’t want to continue at all?
I already am way happier with it than most of my other games except that Alola loves giving me Female starters
I’m just in a meh mood. Got Mario to play and XBC2 comes out soon, and I rather want to play Skyrim too. I think it’s just hard for me to play through the Sun story again, since I didn’t really enjoy the main story.
Understandable
I’m actually so far pumped as I plan on using Pokémon I haven’t ever given a chance to fully complete with
Why I believe my team will be
Incineroar
Lopunny
Lycanroc (Dusk)
Dewgong, Mantine or Slowbro
Shiinotic
The last I have no clue what I might use, knowing all (except technically Lycanroc even though I dropped it in Moon) are new to use by me
It’s nice, but also this should’ve been the game from the beginning
This is why I haven’t even bothered to buy it this time round…
I ordered the Dual Edition in september, and I didn’t feel like cancelling it since I wanted the steelbook. Might play it at another time.
I kind to want to play it just cos I haven’t played a Pokemon game since I played Pokemon Moon about a year ago.
But I didn’t bother with pre ordering and now I can’t be asked to spend £30-40 on something I probably won’t enjoy
Ah well. There’s always Showdown. LO TR Stakataka in OU is terrible, but fun….
You know, what really drives me is that I want a Poipole and that there are lots of cool additions, but I think it not being on Switch is a big turnoff for me. I hardly take my 3DS along with me.
I dun found a Larvitar 😀
And after dealing with those Team Skull buttholes its finally time for my Grand Trial with Olivia
Current team https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c9ad4c9cd9d20015631b7d38326b753f1911518b9bdb77853aeb09e078b8687d.jpg

You’re using the same team as your SuMo run?
Maybe he’ll island scan Ryhorn later on
Surprise, surprise
This is what i would have ended up doing considering how few changes there are to availabe pokemon to cath and use. I guess i would have picked up Larvitar in place of Rockruff…
Earthen will have variety when Pokémon becomes a fully fledged open world rpg with a difference battle system and one complete version
So never lol
Or so far into the future we’re all dead assuming the franchise lasts that long
Have you seen the clothes from the Fancy clothes shop in the mall in Melemele? You’ll LOVE a certain set of clothes
He saw them when they were leaked
Oh, Ok. My first thought when I saw them was ”Earthen will want to get that” lol
I think it looks like a WeHo gogo boy myself
Dear god I hate the pokefinder feature and the fact you have to gain points with it to upgrade it
Hey I wonder
Why is Elgyem an island scan, but also is available normally in the wild? It’s the only one who gets this unique trait
So you can have close encounters of two kinds. https://chinesewithasideofchile.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/giphy1.gif?w=349&h=203
What’s one big thing you guys want to see removed from, or added to, Pokémon?
I’m over battle gimmicks. They don’t change the in game battles in a super meaningful way besides changing difficulty, they take resources away from other areas (such as new Pokémon), and I’d rather just have a refined game with no gimmicks than a stake battle system with them.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Megas and Z-Moves from a narrative and competitive standpoint, but in game they screw balance and for marketing they’ll stale faster than new Pokémon reveals hype wise as gens continue to be made.
I feel like they could be balanced far better in an action rpg game or literally anything that isn’t turn based as long as it’s still a jrpg battle style
I’d agree with you on the battle mechanics part
One thing I want added… Nothing except maybe Triple types (I had a scraped mechanic that all fully evolved Pokémon in my region had a secret energy beneath their exterior and when going to this one person you could sort of do a mega evolution thing to one and get a triple typed one, but you could always undo it and switch which one gets the third type
Ex. One was scheduled to be a Electric/Dark/Fighting type)
Honey. The list is too long..but for now until I collect my thoughts, yes, I definitely agree about the battle gimmicks. They need to stop
Mega Evolution is an amazing concept…. It just doesn’t work in Pokémon main games. It’s sad because nearly every spin off with Megas handles them better.
Woohoo! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b59c8315c2c6c7e9a38b24ace7e20bda52007e83a10f9cd4bbf5da46bb581648.jpg

Update on my team and look
Where can I get that look at my character?
Talk the Female Trial Guide in Pikachu Valley and answer all of her quiz questions right
I mean, the Blue background thingy. I can’t remember where I can access that.
Oh, go to your Trainer Passport and press A
Thx
I think it’s from Movie Ash Cap Pikachu only
I don’t think it is
Nice team
Thx
Good god ultra Necrozma was tough…
Took me a good 3-4 tries just to hit the darn thing, let alone beat it.
Ended up trying almost 7 times, my wallet is crying from all that lost cash!
Well at leadt you won
I’m at the school still 😛
But how will i buy my daily flowers to eat, deer?!
I know the best way…
Try getting Mareanie without the bubbles (I got at least 500,000 from 2 hours of just getting Pearls and Necklaces instead of a corsola)
I shall be a happy and less hungry deer again, thankies~
I would spoiler that, people are still playing though and it’s a plot point 😡
Done…
I almost forgot how to spoiler, but i remembered.
Reset?
Why the f*ck is this random dude with a Clamperl so hard to beat?
