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?
Ugh I’m done waiting for my brother to get home to play with me (he kept getting distracted yesterday so hasn’t even got to catching Pokémon and is at a stupid college tour now which he already went on)
He’ll just have to catch up cause I’m getting fed up with having sit in hiatus fir every second he isn’t playing
I keep seeing people mention how difficult these games are, which makes me REALLY happy. That was actually my biggest complaint of all for Sun and Moon: great games, but I could beat them without even paying attention. Very soon I’ll see it for myself!
About to challenge Olivia
My Team and Look rn:
The Araquanid is a Totem
https://imgur.com/G6asf9I
https://imgur.com/Q2RrTz8
This probably isn’t it, but is that Araquanid supposed to be named after Tethys from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones?
Not really, it’s after the Greek Titaness of Seas
Which a Moon of Saturn is also Named After.
Step up your game dude I’ve got a full Greek God squad ?
Did someone turn off Exp Share to see if it really is more difficult?
I Switch between on and off depending on the situation, and yeah I am kinda underleveled
Yes because you’re not overlevelled and you actually follow the level curve as the game was designed
With it on or with it off?
Off. Although on second thought the Aether Poni jump has me second guessing
Dang is the Teacher hard! Her Popplio smashed my Litten to piecies in one hit and needed three hits to take down Buneary!
Gotta go train
Is that really a spoiler?
It was a change in team, just in case someone hasn’t made it there yet
I’ll be doing some looking around for myself, but has anyone seen any hints about Gen 8 in these games? Beyond Ryuki of course, which is an even stronger indication that we’ll be going to not-China.
Would that mean Gen 8’s regional variants will all be slight changes to make the original creature crappier?
yea at one point somebody says he remembers seeing a bunch of assembly in a makeshift of a long walkway like wall in a far region
Mexico?
You mean UB Assembly/Stakatak? That’s a bit strange, but definitely a hint.
Nah i made it up. Idk anything. most likely something very small
Thanksa for tha name spoilera my friend!
the games are out now so basically its anyones game
What? As it wasn’t revealed in any promotional stuff and it’s revealed late in the game it’s a spoiler
its not a spoiler.
I mean… I just explained why it is
has any of the other UB’s names been used in promotions for sun and moon? no ok I thought so
I’m gonna be honest, it’s nothing to be upset over because you literally know everything else about it already
Kinda true
But neither was the Teacher getting The stronger starter to you either 😛
Or back to Not-Japan because Ryuki is Japanese, not Chinese(the word, not him specifically)
Doubt it. You can’t really predict where they’ll take us. No one predicted Hawaii. Everyone thought we were going to Germany since Kalos always talked about “neighboring region.”
Strange Souvenir had some people guessing a tropical region tbh
Hey guys is anyone free to help me evolve my Kadabra?
I can.
Hey thanks for offering. What time and date suits you? Maybe to avoid timezone confusion tell me in how many hours from when you reply will you be free next? Assuming I’m not free then cause I’ll probably be sleeping. (I’m from India btw)
Is anyone’s DS time close to 5pm? Needing to evolve my DuskDog so I can beat the fire totem :<
Tip:
The totem knows Brick break, Lycan will probably be KO’d before it can attacked
I know this, it’s bet me three times. If I can Accelerock it or it’s ally, it’ll be a massive help.
I guess that makes sense. I Lost to it few times too, but in the end I got there without evolving anyone.
I don’t use Rotom powers or Z-Moves because I’m a real man ? ? ?
I would use one for the final hit in the fight
That’s how a normal trainer can do it ?
Can you temporarily change your clock? It’ll mess up the plaza for a few days and also pelago a bit but it’ll rectify after a while.
I tried it and it didn’t work ?
I would help but we are the same time.
Hey guys how do I get the rockruff event again?
also, Idk if something is wrong but my Pokemon Bank says I need to get a Pokedex before I can transfer all of my pokemon to the game…
Pokebank isnt out yet for USUM
oh I thought you’re able to transfer pokemon from Sun and Moon to USUM….
You can by trading but not bank yet.
nvrmind got the rockruff
Side note does anyone just catch rare Pokémon or ones they find and just box them for use later (like maybe Post game training)?
Just wanted to see if anyone is like me in that sense as I caught Pichu and Zorua and have boxed them for later in the game
Yeah, I usually get them for Pokedex first and then see if I want to use them for anything later.
Yeah adding Pokémon for the Dex too
Like if I came across Passimian or Comfey, I’d catch it due to rarity in the game
The gang’s all here! 😀 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f522a0186411c684e6e795beef7cdcfebb4aee40e7402e03b1b3e466f519ac2e.jpg
Nice! I regret selling my older ds games when I was younger lol
so you salt yet that youll have open space forever
I know right? We really could use a Pokémon Rainbow to round it all off. I think I’m going to move Super Mystery Dungeon into that place for the sake of completeness.
well technically with all those games every region is in that case
That’s totally true. It seems I’m finally set for life…my case and I have been waiting for this moment!
Adrive already got it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j9ShQZMSyU
I thought Poipole was shiny locked? Hm.
No in-game gift ‘mon are. Only Cosmog line, Necrozma, Tapus and Zygarde are I believe.
I can’t wait to have terrible luck and spend months trying to get this.
Well if we’re sharing our trainers, https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/06f345e94f47ab5e9183d453469e81181a28f72ee7624ddc506ed743768bf99d.jpg
What starter best suits Hau?
Definitely Popplio (who he chose in my game moments ago).
I gave him Deci just because he doesn’t deserve the greatness of Primarina but he doesn’t deserve the trash that is Incineroar
Oh so that’s why you picked Litten this playthrough
Yep. Litten is the cute one in the evo line anyways
There were so much good retorts to that line and you chose to deliberately interpret it wrong.
Star you get a C- in your banter exam
;~;
I should’ve studied
It’s fine, you can resit the exam next year with the next unpopular starter
I’m predicting it will be the water starter this time
Litten is also the best pick if you plan on dropping the starter after trading becomes available. It’s the easiest to kill his Pichu with before the ceremony because you won’t run the risk of being paralyzed and charm doesn’t affect you 😛
I always found Popplio more disposable because it has better Sp. Attack then Litten and Thundershock won’t do much to you
After that Rowlet’s the most disposable because Leafage murders Popplio
Yeah, that’s true. I’ve actually never chosen Popplio and I’ve played the beginning of Gen 7 like 8 times
Pikachu resetting? Pikachu resetting.
Unfortunately.
What a terrible thing to do! Nobody deserves Incineroar…
I agree! Which is why I traded it for the Riptide the Totodile egg
Exactly, it’s just that good.
He’s meant to have Popplio since Kukui needs Incineroar.
Current thoughts on Ultra Sun and Moon after the first grand trial: Similar to Sun and Moon to the point of boredom until the first trial. Bad pacing. Great difficulty even with the EXP share though I’ll probably turn it off for a while because Croconaw is getting overleveled
Current Thoughts on Lego Marvel Superheros 2 because my brother got that while I got Ultra Moon: YOU CAN LISTEN TO STARLORD’S WALKMAN AND DO THE SHOOT DANCE THINGY HE DOES AND ENEMIES ALSO DANCE
My VERY initial impressions before reaching Iki Town: every time a battle starts I get scared because it reminds me of that music that plays for roaming legendaries. Also, everything is super pretty.
Not a fan of the battle remix theme. Nor the recon squad theme.
But most of Sun and Moon’s fantastic soundtrack is still there so I’m ok
Can you get Hitmonkey?
https://cdn.flickeringmyth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/LEGO-Marvel-Super-Heroes-2-new-characters-342-4.jpg
Yes, I hope James Gunn gets to make a movie of him.
Tbh I don’t know anything about him lol
He’s a monkey and a hit-man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit-Monkey
Yeah I figured that part out 😛
Oh well I guess he is. I only played a bit with my little brother
What
Lego Marvel is good, but I’m super upset Ultron isn’t playable…out of the like 200+ spots for D-list characters and you can’t put one of Marvel’s best villains in? Whatever.
He’s not in it? That’s really weird
Exactly…he was so good to play as in Lego Marvel’s Avengers…but I really wanted to play as a comic version of him. Stupid.
Maybe he’s future DLC?
Nah, they already revealed all DLC packs if I’m not mistaken.
My first picture :0 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e46a32d3381fb2b36d1ed5c333865f08a0f5814332e7826105303bc07e87921d.jpg
I like the feature more than I thought I would but I’m a bit let down they spent their time on this instead of fixing the pacing
Idk I think the very start of the game is more bearable because you actually get a Pokémon within the first half hour
Yeah but it still takes an hour to get to a Pokémon center
They should’ve had Kukui introduce it before the festival imo
hau destroyed me
Whaaaat up Byotches!!!
I finally made it to Ula Ula and Mudbray evolved during my fight against Hau’s Tauros
Hau has a Tauros i wouldn’t know because he destroyed my whoel team
Maybe next time you should be better 😀
Later Suckah!
*Spins like a drill and burrows away*
Still better then you :3
*My voice echoing out of the hole*
Says the guy who lost to Hau
Hau’s Raichu is meant to be strong tho?
if you don’t have a Mudbray it might be
Yea i used it already. in Moon
Well that’s your fault
You had to wimp out and use Inferno Overdrive on Totem Lurantis
Get better
I won against Totem Lurantis with Buneary lol
And he calls you weak lol
Just because your teambuilding skills are actually worse than some 6 year olds doesn’t mean you have the rights to act like one
Should I try and evolve my Togepi into Togetic before level 14 so that I can get fairy wind? Because if I miss that, I’ll be without a decent STAB move, or move in general, for a long ass time. Though my other option is to let it evolve whenever and just trade it back to SM and move reminder fairy wind onto it. I guess I’m more worried that I’ll be making Melemele too easy if I’ve got a togetic with me.
Also, it’s bullsh*t that they didn’t move the move reminder from its horrid location in SM.
Get to walking in circles my dude
Yeahhh….it’s level 13 so I’ll have to be extra sure I get those like 38000 steps in. I miss the step counter app..
Give it items like berries.
They moved the reminder because they upgraded it with the ability to teach Pokémon moves they haven’t learnt yet. Personally I thought they should’ve split that into two
Yeah see, that makes too much sense
They should have and had them either be related, married or part of a special group of tutors with the various others like they do with other stuff. Though move reminder can still give very powerful moves early since some Lv 1 moves are actually ones you’d expect them to learn later.
Why do the berry fields only have one berry tree
The intent was to provide berry pickers with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Look at this happy guy. He’s just so happy. Not a care in the world
Even though he’s an office worker? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6445dfa9a891e0fa1b430e878b103bd3aa57e9a38bb22f7b508528ef610d0acb.jpg
Welp https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/619c09b48bc84a2327dac4c927ad89cf3103a9519bdb4da9599f3241093f6303.jpg
So we’ll know if Gen VIII is next year or not depending on whether Zeraora is treated as one of the stars of the movie right off the bat, or if it’s kept a secret until like April next year
The idea of having a new Gen to hype next year would be lit but like I hope it doesn’t come out so soon because it’d effect quality a lot
What is the spoiler for?
Unrevealed ‘mon/feature/character.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
It’s not officially announced thus far some still might not know what it is or want to know yet
I want it to be on the Switch next, that way I can get both together.
Discord is always breaking
Well I beat the teach and finally got new clothes
No Green sadly so I’ll go with Orange motif instead (I’ll post later)
And team is still the same I just need to get a little farther and Dusty will join me in my quest to find the new light in Alola (I will make sure though it’s a boy, I just want a Male team member is that too much to ask?!)
Did you watch/What did you think of the few SU episodes that were released lately? I thought they were great storywise, tho in few moments the foreground animation looked pretty bad. And the song from ”Sadie Killer” was actually pretty neat!
I haven’t seen them because I stopped caring but I’ve seen some screen caps and my god. The animation has driven off a cliff into the abyss
That is kinda true, it was kinda ugly and distracting in some parts. Everything else about the new episodes is great (except ”Dewey Wins”) so I can live with it.
Saw the first mayor Dewie one, thought it was one of the worst episodes the show put out, and haven’t seen the rest.
It’s the worst one out of the new ones, the other ones are worth checking out
I’ll get around to it
I enjoyed them all, but was confused how earlier Emerald and Space Lars were confirmed but they were non existent in this mini set
But I liked Back to the Kindergarten the most and hope it doesn’t take another few months to get 6 more
They’ll probably show up in the few next eps
