Niantic has officially announced the Pokémon GO Travel event!
From now until to November 26th, trainers across the globe must work toward the goal of collectively catching 3 billion Pokémon in Pokémon GO! As the week progresses, and more ‘mons are caught, rewards will start to roll out: At 500 million Pokémon caught we’ll get 2x Experience, 6 hour Lure Modules and an increase of worldwide spawns. At 1.5 billion, we’ll get the previosuly mentioned bonuses plus 2x Stardust and even more increased spawns. And if we reach our goal of 3 billion we’ll get all the aforementioned rewards plus Farfetch’d will spawn worldwide for 48 hours (Kangaskhan will spawn in East Asia as compensation)!
If the below infographic isn’t your style you can check out the fun video Niantic put together for the event, or read their official blog post.
In main game news, (much to our surprise) Pokémon Bank is already compatible with Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon! Requiring 516 block, version 1.4 of the application is now available for download via the eShop. Along this, compatibility for transfers from Pokémon Gold & Silver can now be made in Poké Transporter.
What will be the first Pokémon your transfer to your new Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon games? Excited to finally add Farfetch’d to your Pokédex in GO?

Stakataka too OP please ban
It’s really strong despite its many flaws.
I’ve seen it wreck havoc.
It did 80%to Lando T after intimidate!!!!
Great, I just got my phone and my 3DS taken away from me because I haven’t been doing homework. Seriously, homework is just unnecessary and too time consuming
Alex
We both know that isn’t the real reason
;3
??
We ALL know what happens to you when you see a Zeraora
I’m not in the mood for that.
Okayokay
No but seriously I hope you get it back soon
Just learn to time manage a bit better, it helps a TON
I’m trying, but I can never bring myself to focus. Even now, I still can’t
Keep tryin
I know the feels, I have no self control over my focus (I will procrastinate till the end and then rush to finish it off at the last minute)
I just end up not doing it most of the time
Just do it for the grade. It’s the best you can do for now.

Poke trainers welcome my new friend.
Hahaha isn’t his entry amazing. Can you imagine it teasing an exeggutor and then being flung! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5389c7d6f580556008d50df174b417d29d37266b3cf159426cc671fa74631eca.jpg
Probably just happens when Exeggutor turns around to see what is slapping it and Makuhita gets caught by the tail, then Exeggutor sees nothing there and is confused as Makuhita blasts off again.
Haha yeah they are quite clueless. Still quite a comedic scene nonetheless:]
F U CKKKK WHAT DID I JUST DO
STUPID SOPHOCLES ?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f650e67723cdb3ba3f71e3eb2b5172a68ffb1feaf1e7e2bd994b7e75b80d8b9a.jpg
Sophocles is a hideous mutation of a Makuhita.
thought that was Tabitha
Tabitha is a less hideous mutation of Makuhita.
I shoot I just found these little ones, two of my best drawings I ever did (still mad they never happened)

I still now wish Drasweet was the real Bounsweet evolution
I mean instead of making a prissy princess, instead make it a cute Dragon fruit that could have had a lot of potential
They can do that with another ‘mon in future though.
True
Blacephalon is fucking nuts
So I’ve got my team fully assembled I guess. I’ve got a lot of grinding to do to get the lower 4 up to snuff, but in the end I think this team will be great. 3 of them have egg moves and all except Dartrix and Dewpider are eggs traded over. Should be a really cool team after they’re all fully evolved. Still bummed I won’t be using a totem sized Araquanid due to it not being able to go in bank and ultimately transfer up to later gens but I guess I’ll live with this. Either way I’m happy.
Dartrix lvl 25 male
Midnight Lycanroc lvl 25 female
Dewpider lvl 17
Stufful lvl 13 male
Sandile lvl 15 male
Alolan Sandshrew lvl 13 female
whelp I’m an idiot. What am I doing complaining about not getting the lucky egg before post game when I have a perfectly good lucky egg in my Sun sitting being unused? For the record I just want to use the Lucky egg to get my lower mons up to the same level as my Dartrix and Lycanroc. Once that happens I’ll put it away until after I beat the game. I don’t want to make things too easy for myself after all. Just don’t feel like grinding for the sake of grinding…….

Naga’s entire Sctick is getting a nasty plot up which it needs
Stak runs lonely with 14 def iv
why lonely? wouldn’t minus speed be better for it? or anything that lowers spatk?
No because if you don’t go lonely it doesn’t get Attack boosts
i cannot grasp this… then why not just go Adamant? or Impish
Because it doesn’t get Attack boosts. The things defense is so high that even if you go adamant with 252 Evs and 0 def, it still gets beast boost on its defense
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ok now i get it, i am a’stupid
It’s fine no worries
The mon itself is honestly designed in an extremely idiotic manner and whoever designed it should be removed from statmaking
…..i like how it looks
and its stats aren’t…..too bad……that trick room thing surprised me………
But it’s stats are so baaaad
Like I’m sorry it’s dumb to need to run Lonely to make use of it
Stats are fine. Its main issue is typing. Something like steel ghost would have been better but stats are great. Perfect.
Also for Blacephalon I reccomend Mind Blown, Shadow Ball, psychic/psyshock, and pain split
Well as we were talking of Starters I want to share my thoughts of all starters
Kanto- I love the three of them, but I have to admit Charizard pulls through only because when I was little Charmander was my favorite Pokémon of all time.
Johto- I also like, but on a lesser scale as Meganium could be better. And my favorite is Feraligatr as I loved Totodile for so long
Hoenn- The first region I have a less positive view on. Sceptile definetly is great, but not a fan of Treeko or Grovyle. Torchic is fine, but I dislike the Chicken wing Combusken and mostly for how its so over rated Blaziken I have low likng for. Mudkip line I like all around, but I believe Swampert could be a bit better (It’s hands look weird)
Sinnoh- This region gets a Blue ribbon for some great starters, not one single problem with any of them
Unova- What a wasted opportunity Serperior was, could’ve made a Grass/Poison snake or Grass/Dragon maybe, but no we got a pure grass type with a blander level up move set then meganium, I like Servine and S nivy though based on looks. Tepig is cute and holds high favor for me. Do you have to ask, Oshawott is my favorite starter line ever I have 0 complaints about it at all.
Oshawott is not water fighting
Me no care, it’s my favorite starter
Serperior isn’t wasted at all. Maybe type wise it could’ve been more interesting, but it’s the best out of the starters stat and battle wise.
It got speedy (a typical snake trait) and contrary saves its competitively
But to me it’s bland to use and much less interesting than using Oshawott
Oshawott and Dewott are good, yes. That’s about it for that line :3
I like it’s variety gets Bug moves and Fighting moves which gives it more variety in game than the others
Yeah its movepool ain’t bad
The fact it gets Megahorn via level up makes me so happy
Part 2
Kalos- Chespin is my favorite Grass starter, despite the hate that it turns into a fat lard according to some people, but it’s nice to see a Grass starter that actually can was meant for defensive power that can actually defend. Froakie and Frogadier could have looked less ugly, but Greninja’s pretty cool so no biggie. Fennekin… is just bland to me, Braixen I like for its design, but no Delphox, it looks pretty weird (It’s face doesn’t match its body) could have had hat like fur to look more like mage/witch/wizard, but all in all. Not my favorite
Alola- finishing strong on this, I have no complaints with the final stages, sadly for the first time I don’t like two of the mid stages, Dartrix and Brionne. Dartrix just looks like a pompous pr*ck and I don’t like that fact that it acts so prim with its stupid emo hair. Brionne I think points way to far towards being completely female, at least in some ways Primarina can be saved, but Brionne is has a dress (which most men don’t wear) and its called a Pop star Pokémon (Pop star 90% of the time means female) so yeah, but Torracat is great
Well this is my opinion on starters
Kanto-Starters are basic, but this is Gen 1 we’re talking about.Overall, I like them. My favorite is Charmander
Johto-As much as I dislike Gen 2, it had pretty good starters. My favorite is either Totodile or Cyndaquil
Hoenn-To risk sounding like a broken record, I like all of them except for maybe Torchic, but it’s evos more than make up for it. My favorite is Treecko
Sinnoh-Where I started, so nostalgia warning or something. I love all of them, they all look great in my eyes. This is the one Gen where I’m stuck between all of them as my favorite
Unova-Snivy line is fine, I just feel there’s improvement needed. Same with all of them, actually. I don’t really what I’d fix for Samurott, but I feel Emboar needs a redesign as much as I like it. My favorite is Oshawot.
Kalos-I love this region, it’s really cool. Same for the starters, all the final evos are really good (except for Delpox), with Greninja being my fave. I was actually gonna pick Chespin first before I saw Froakie’s evos. As I stated before, my fave is Froakie.
Alola-I love this region too. I like the starters, some more than others, but Rowlet I just don’t really like until Deciueye. I really like the Litten line, but yeah, Incineroar could’ve been better. I’ve started to warm up to Brionne, so I actually like it now. My favorite is Litten
Earthen’s Obinons on starters

“Hey, Gamefreak, can you make more hairstyles for males in USUM? 6 Really isn’t enough for people to accurately portray themselves.”
“Sure! We can do that!”
>>>>Adds 1 single male hairstyle.
It’s at least a good one
You wanted the Kim Jong Un didn’t you?
Females still don’t have enough cool short hairstyles
They still have almost 4 times the options though :I
A fringe isn’t really a lot more options though.
And non of them look like my hair style >:(
Grow your hair fam 😉
No I’m cute >~<
Hah you admitted it ;3
Fam I’ve accepted it by now
I’m just waiting on you
Well I know you’re cute af already
Nah I’m waiting for you I know that you’re cute too
ghjyhkgng
as much as i really could not care less for customization, I dont understand why they cant just make the same options for both genders. I mean for Miis you can do ANYTHING then choose the sex at the end. I dont see why they couldnt just have a set of options for anyone to choose.
Add crossdressing too, please.
I mean, i implied this as well. but actually now that i think about it in Mii creation the sex also changes the shirt to a dress. so yeah i meant crossdressing too. Its freakin customization, let people do what they want. Imo it would look much better for them
It’s frustrating. I will definitely be talking about this in my review. It’s one thing to make the mistake once, but this is the third (?) time they’ve done this.
I didnt know you review?
I don’t, but I have a lot to say about USUM. I have always wanted to start reviewing things on a blog or something.
as have I tbh.
Let’s both review it :O
Dae’s review: “Good but not worth it.”
cant review what you havent played. well USUM is an exception i guess since they are just sun and moon +
The Masked Royal has to be Kukui… right? Right?
Don’t be stupid
They are nothing alike.
I always thought it was Hau from the future come back to beat us down in our prime… XD
No way, they are two completely different people. Idk how you came up with that, but it’s wrong. The real question is:Will we ever find out who the Masked Royal is?
You never see them in the same room together
I’ve been saying this for a year but you fuckers still want to deny it

weird. i think your kanto and johto are the exact same for me. But im deciding between wartortle and squirtle. I just love the first stages for kanto
I love Wartortles tail and ears and the blues used for it against the shell colours.
yeah the ears are awesome
Wartortle is awesome!
I just got a King’s Rock from one of the bubbling spots…and then immediately ran into a Poliwhirl. I think this is a sign. Anyone want to help me get a Politoed for my team?
I can FC: 0748 – 2744 – 4660 IGN: James
Okay cool! I might already have you, but I’ll check after I finish up in Malie Garden.
OK, I probably need your FC though.
Mine is 2191-7648-0558, name is Kevin.
OK, I’ll get online now.
I don’t think you have me added as it’s not coming up.
Now you’re added!
OK, I’ll be in plaza, request when ready.
You want it to learn swagger?
Works for me! Replace what you think is best 😛
Removed Double Slap as I think it has least merit.
I would’ve done the same, good choice. I might be adding Magmortar later down the line, so maybe I’ll let you know. Thanks a lot!
OK, glad to be of help 🙂
It is a sign!
Catch it
Chop it’s legs off
and huck in the deep fryer!

Do QR mons spawn with random natures or are they fixed??
You mean island scan? Random.
I found a hardy Squirtle.
Should I try resetting for something better?? I think I may just do thanks!
Yeah, might need to scan in again depending when you saved.
Got a modest squirtle on my next try!
In advance, i am sorry…

But Game Freak left me no choice…
Sheen…this is the seventh week in a row that you’ve shown ultra sun in class..
But this one is different, this remake has powerful move tutors and nuclear features, with rare never seen ultra beasts making it highly collectible
Never been seen huh? Well then how do you know it’s even in there?
*Pulls it out* Neh Neh
*Realizes the game is shite*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*makes snarky look with an attitude*
well the mighty Earthen has grown bored…..
Do i really want to send over all my Nature Dittos and my teambuilding pokemon or make all new ones
All i really have is my Shiny 6IV Ditto named Max, but i’ll need at least 9 Everstones
I just spent the last half hour moving my living dex in and out of my Ultra Moon in order to get my Pokedex as close to completion as I can before beating the game. My two regrets are I prolly should have been training my lower level mons and that I wish I could get the shiny charm before beating the game……oh well at least now all I need are the new UBs and a couple others that I had evolved in Sun. Some being Type Null which I evolved into Silvally so I don’t have one for my living dex yet and Cosmog which I evolved into Cosmoem. Both of which I’ll be able to get in these games easily.
How would you rate USUM out of 10?
Still got a long way to go Dae im still on melemele :] but I will post my review/opinions once I’m done!
8.5/10. Very solid games indeed.
3/5
6.5/10
It’s fine.
3 being a good/average game that’s worth playing
Though that’s only if you haven’t played Sun and Moon
7.5-8.5/10
Am I ranking it as its own game or as a remake of SM?
10/10 as their own games 6/10 as remakes of SuMo
A solid 9/10 only due to only having like 3 or 4 hours logged so far
As a standalone game, 9.5/10
As a follow-up to Sun and Moon? 7/10
9/10 as standalone
8.25/10 as a follow up
I’m having trouble choosing between all of the Fossil Pokemon for my team because I love all of them. I guess I’m tied between Kabutops, Archeops and Bastiodon. What should I do?
Archeops if you can cope with Defeatist, otherwise Kabutops.
As you know, I already have a Water type on my team so I’ll go with Archeops.
I didn’t know if you minded that, maybe give it leftovers.
the coins in odyssey are the most tedious part of the game tbh
I usually find them on the way looking for moons
but i found all the moons i can find in seaside, i need 3 coins
Get the bowser amiibo
I did and it helps out so much
I just wanna take time to thank the holy arceus with finding this bad boy on my first try https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/826b04befb021d4144e9614ddbade4808ec351c3fc955fd3513e01419bd2e747.jpg
Nice, was it SOS?
Nope. Ran into the grass and saw an eevee that i killed so i kept looking for another eevee and found a yungoos and then this! I only had 2 great balls and a heal ball. First great ball without damage didnt work so i used my Torracats ember and it got burnt! I was like praise the lord!!
Sadly its just gonna sit in my box but atleast i can say i finally caught a shiny
Why’s that?
Cause ive already used a Mudsdale in my Sun playthrough. My US playthrough will be pokemon i havent used before
Gold Sand….

This is a pretty good opening for a filler arc
Oh yes….

Is that the shiny?
Yes
Oh, well nice find 🙂
This’s wat I called beauty
