Another Legendary Pokémon is making its way to Pokémon GO!
Because of the hard work of all Pokémon GO players during the Pokémon GO Global Catch Challenge last week, Niantic is making Ho-Oh available in game! From now until December 12th you’ll be able to encounter and catch the Fire-type Legendary via Legendary Raid Battles!
Excited to add this fire turkey to your Pokédex? Which Pokémon do you have left to catch in GO?
Thanks to all your hard work last week, Ho-Oh will appear in Raid Battles until 12/12! #PokemonGOtravel #GlobalCatchChallenge https://t.co/YfyBGwfTux pic.twitter.com/mdGoFByyQl

Eh, to be honest, I don’t really play Go that much anymore. I picked it up again for a little bit after they put out Johto pokemon but it just doesn’t excite me anymore. So even though it seems really cool to have all these legendaries it’s too little too late for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Same for me to be honest. Played for around a month when the game first came out, and played for another couple of weeks when Gen 2 Pokemon were released, but it’s not something I can commit to especially as I refuse to pay a penny for in-game purchases…
So I had a sort of epiphany out of nowhere today for a really interesting game idea that takes advantage of the Switch exclusively, and I’m seriously considering following through with it. I don’t want to give anything away right now, but I’m calling it “Project Black Friday” because it was inspired by the whole insane shopping season. I don’t really know why I’m so enthusiastic about this but I wanted to say it here because I felt like it 😛 I’ll need to teach myself game design and all of that but I honestly think this could be a hit.
Overcooked but then with trying to produce packaged goods?
Wow, that sounds like so much fun…really it does! I can’t describe it so well yet, it combines elements of a lot of games I’ve played but is also its own thing. It’s a bit like Wall-E combined with Frankenstein, Rhythm Heaven, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. I hope that doesn’t make sense.
Don’t know if anyone has done this already but I made a list of the call rates for the new pokemon added to the alola dex:
Note: if the first stage can be found wild and can call for help, I did not include its evolution/s in the list cause it’s clearly easier to hunt for the first stage.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu I think I may have f’d myself………..So I am half way through the storming of Aether Paradise and decided to got back to get supplies at a Pokemon center just in case (yeah I know it ruins the mood lol) I flew away to a Pokemon center, but now I have no idea how to get back there……….I tried to fly back, but there’s no fly symbol……I tried to go to a dock but they all say that they’re down for maintenance………am I f’d or is there another way back?
PROBLEM AVERTED!! I found Gladion and he can take me back!! Thank god……
Whelp Lusamine wasn’t nearly as challenging as I thought she’d be. Guzma was much tougher. I’m not sure if you battle her later on like in SM, but Aether Paradise Lusamine went down pretty easily.

Is this real? If it’s not I’ll be very disappointed………
It’s real, Kellogs UK confirmed its 100% real, but nothing furthur
supposedly it’s in Target’s system. So now it’s time to go to Target for some Mario cereal and Pokemon cards I guess lol
Is this real?!? I neeed it
FUCKING SOLD
I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST, I’LL MAKE SOMEONE SEND ME THIS EVERY WEEK TO POLAND
Oh just to comment on the actual article I’m surprised it took them so long to introduce Ho-oh. You’d thing they’d have don it with the legendary beasts as they did Lugia with the birbs
I think the Gen 1 legendaries also came fairly late as well.
I made a way to tell shiny male and female apart;
Shiny Male – Sun Bleached
Shiny Female – Army Camouflage
ok i keep seeing it online and nobody seems to want to answer when i ask. Where is everyone getting this idea that Nintendo is pressuring GF or TPCi to make a game in 2018?
I know for sure Pokemon is getting a game in the Switch by 2020, but I don’t know about it being forced for 2018.
I truly hope it’s 2019. I don’t want another X and Y situation on our hands, as good as they were for the time they came out (I think most of the hype was due to the fact that they were the first 3DS Pokémon games), going back to them months later only showed how many flaws it had.
I like the technical parts of X and Y but even then, those games needed more time to be worked on.
Pokemon on switch is already avalable to pre order in my country the date ( tba ) is roughly 2018
According to a guy on the Easy Allies podcast, which is a popular gaming group that has feet in the gaming community, some of their sources have said that Nintendo is pushing for GF to make a disruptive kind of game the likes of how Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild are very different from their predecessors. The part about 2018 specifically comes from what appears to be the source of the original Rainbow Rocket leaks. According to a user on Bulbagarden named Lavandula(aka Pokesirena/JynxClub), who was the person who first translated the Chinese leaks from last year, the leaker of RR said that the Chinese team has done extensive translations on the new games. Apparently they are just about done with both the naming of the new Pokemon and translating the script of the game. At this point it’s all just rumors, but said rumors are coming from what appear to be reputable sources. Only time will tell, but I’d imagine if the game comes next year we’ll be hearing about it by the end of February. so not too much time is left.
Plus then there’s that other rumor that had a bit of Nintendo info supposedly due for next year that also said Nintendo was pushing GF to make something different. And that was a separate rumor from the Easy Allies one so things are looking very likely for a Pokemon game next year. We’ll just have to see tho.
Why can’t Vikavolt get Quiver Dance :/
Because you touch yourself at night
How dare you slander me
XD

Wonder what the next region will be based off of. Also the starters! I’m so excited!
I’ve been set on the idea of China for a while but India is also a good idea! Both of those would have really cool architecture and be a departure from what we’ve seen so far. As for starters, I’m still rooting for a fire snake, water buffalo and grass elephant!
Ooh the architecture from both of those countries would be so nice to see in the switch game! Also really love those starters! Especially the grass elephant. There’s so much they can do with these games and it’s gonna be so fun to speculate.
I’m really hoping we get a game set in Greece. There’s so much lore and influence that can be explored!
I just watched a what-if video on Greece as a Pokémon region, and there was so much lore to bring in to the story. Also the architecture from Greece is beautiful!
I’m originally from there so it would be a dream come true to see a game set there.
Ooh that’s so cool that you’re from there! I’m sure it’d be nice to see it become a region! I would love a region based on Mexico! But for now I’ll just make a fan-made region based on it! Watching these what-if videos are inspiring me to start working on it again.
Coming up with my own ideas is also fun, even though I know there’s a slim chance they’ll ever come to fruition! The past few generations have had some unique settings, though.
I’m glad they started focusing on different parts of the world, it leads to more creativity and fun ideas! I saw a what-if video about Scandinavia and they had a regional variant for Honedge that was redesigned to look like Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir and it was sooooo cool! I really hope they keep regional variants as a thing, it was such a neat experience getting to see old Pokémon in a different light.
I would be more excited for this if I didn’t live in the middle of freaking nowhere lol I managed to catch a farfetched before it’s distribution ended thankfully. On a random note I am curious of something. What is everyone’s favorite Pokémon when they were kids? And what is your favorite now that you are older? For me pikachu was easily my favorite as a kid thanks to the anime(still have a plush from when I was a kid). Fast forward years later and now it’s the treecko line(my first Pokémon)
Highkey want a UB spinoff game. I absolutely love the idea behind them & the fact they are not ”real” Pokemon gives GF the opportunity to use a totally different set of design standards and still have it justified in-universe.
I’ve been to every Totem sticker location listed on Serebii, and for some reason i still am 1 short of having them all. And yes i have the one below the Sandygast on Hano beach.
Alright I woke up in the dead of the night to finish EV training Snowshrew
Hopefully by tonight I can start my UM journey
Would it be cheesy if I just pulled a Series Sun and Moon and deliver a Sandshrew egg over to the Alola and somehow it hatched as an Alolan form?
Ultra Necrozma almost completely wreaked my team…?
Worth it once you’ve seen its Z-move
Hopefully Muk can beat it, out off all the fights in the game that one is the only one I’m worried about
Good luck, 754 BST+totem boost in all stats. Not even Muk will survive despite its many resistances
I only beat it thanks to my umbreon since I think Muk is a bulkier you should be fine but boy was that a close one!
Everyone’s a gym leader now. They grow up so fast :'(
Time to organize Bank
Same here, I’m determined to get a living dex this time around
And that means serious organization, but I’ll do this after UM
I love when somebody tells me a mon is broken when literally four of their six members are weak to it
Searhing the web for free to use BW style animated sprites of Gen 6-7 mons. I found all mons I need in non-animated sprites, but I have only like a quarter of them animated. Anyone here maybe knows a place I could find more?
Spriters Resource
Thx! Just one question… Where should I look? I’m on the website
The sidebar should have each system. Click on DS, On the top it sorts them by letters. Click the “p” and scroll down until you find Black and White
Oh…
Well I think you didn’t get what I meant, I’m looking for fanmade BW style animated sprites of gen 6 and 7 mons
But Thanks for trying to help me!
Earlier had the most satisfying accomplishment as a battler, beating a solid stall team (chansey, clef, m sableye etc) 6-0. Easy work ?
Image below is a recent battle I had working up to 1800s.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1733645eed757f6804a3859ea3c58c045950cb6ae4ba4134dc3d76eb3fda3ddb.png
Wait what’s your team?
For the stall battle I was using a team based around Lando Tran Bulu core. It was a Naganadel team which I’ve since replaced with a Blacephalon.
I was using a unique team yday but im too high up the ladder 2 be messing around :]
Try winning without legends
Its physically impossible in current OU
Exactly, anything to knock him off his high horse
True, its a noble cause. Even im using four legends at the moment. I prefer gliscor to lando but lando has intimidate sooooo
I’m using a legend and a mythical :0
Everyone is
Not me
You honestly should
You really should. Legendary is just an arbitrary label. They’re in OU for a reason
Just says that my way is wrong and the only way to play is to drop my morals and be like everyone else
I respect that you don’t want to use them but like… you would win more often.
You gotta decide if you want to win more using legends or win less without legends.
That’s just how the meta is. If you don’t like it then you might wanna try VGC
Bullcrap my luck is so bad that even a lame team of all legends and myths would still lose
Luck is bullshit anyways fam. Just use the damn Landorus
No, besides some stupid Keldeo or Kyurem will cause problems
Kyurem isn’t actually all that common
keldeo gets slaughtered by a fair amount of ou
#thankyouzapdos
Naah
I don’t use them either. But then again i don’t get overly upset when i lose
Morals? Tell me about how good Regice is
It beat me because it spammed curse
….m8
how did you let it set up?
IT WAS MY PU TEAM AND ALL I HAD LEFT WAS LYCANROC BUT THE STUPID MESPRIT GOT IN THE WAY
And Hitmonchan is my special wall
Lycanron can break it though
Not this time, not when it had restalk and dealing with Regigigas which just spammed confuse Ray and sub
Just another instance of me BEING A FUXKING FAILURE
I don’t know why people even run regigigas
BECAUSE ITS BULKY AND CAN TAKE HITS AND RUN THE CLOCK VIA SUB AND TWAVE AND CONFUSE RAY
But like it’s kinda eh compared to other mons
Dude it’s PU what is could threaten it
Any fighting type
A taunter
A magic bounce mon
High damage mons
Statuers
And that’s just scratching the surface
That’s like playing soccer except you intentionally broke your leg before hand. You’re not in the same…. footing as everyone else
I see what you did there sis
;3
Did you see my battles yesterday using Kuppo’s team?
Don’t you mean try losing without legends? 😛
I wanna know the whole thing though
I hate you

I might as well link this again since no one (to my knowledge) checked it out on the previous article
Ha, All Might was in there.
All done organizing Bank for now. Categorized per gen, legendaries, mythicals, UBs & shinies. Also made a seperate box for all my synchronize Abras 🙂
This looks super cool, just saying
