Pokémon GO, the augmented-reality game for iOS and Android by developer Niantic, is about to get a lot more exciting this week with the release of 50 Pokémon and weather coniditons – both which originally appeared in Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire!
“Starting later this week, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, and several more Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region in the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire video games will start appearing in Pokémon GO for the first time ever—with even more to be discovered over the next several weeks! We’ll also be introducing a new dynamic weather system in Pokémon GO that will change the way you and the millions of Trainers around the world discover, catch, and interact with Pokémon.
You’ll want to start paying even closer attention to your local weather patterns, Trainers. In addition to the in-game map being updated with cool new weather visuals, weather near you will impact Pokémon in a variety of ways. For example, you’ll find your odds of discovering Mudkip splashing around will greatly improve on rainy days, as certain Pokémon types will be more commonly found during various weather conditions. Additionally, attacks of certain types will be more effective during some weather conditions, so a Charizard’s Fire Spin will perform better on sunny days, for example. Rain or shine, winter or spring, your gameplay experience will remain fresh, making your time outdoors even more exciting.”
The weather conditions in Pokémon GO come with following effects:
- Sunny (default) – Grass, Ground, & Fire-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Rainy – Water, Electric, & Bug-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Snowy – Ice & Steel-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Foggy – Ghost & Dark-types get increased damage and spawn rates
- Windy – Dragon, Flying, & Psychic-types get increased damage and spawn rates
In addition to the Gen III excitement, Ho-Oh’s reign as a Legendary Raid Boss has been extended an extra 48 hours and will now be available until December 14th, 1pm PST!
What Gen III buddy are you hoping to catch? For me it’s gotta be SEEDOT!
THIS IS A PINK ROBIN. MAKE THIS A POKÉMON

OH MY GOD I LOVE IT
SUCH FLUFF
FAIRY/FLYING
It’s cute yet also looks like it has a dead look in its eyes
Like a Natu
Alolan Natu confirmed
Want it to be my Regional Bird (I will gladly use this puff ball)
It’s gonna be another Bewear. aka something that looks nothing its source material cuz GF likes playing games with us
Oh god is it going to have fart communication like stufful does?
Hopefully
Well don’t get too excited, plenty of animals communicate by olfactory reception aka odors and excretions, dogs, cats, insects some deer and mammals
SHUSH
Say that to GF when this eventually happens
*Grabs it and devours it*

I need this bird to be a Pokemon
The bird of paradise has already slightly inspired a pokemon design….
of all things…. apparently its oricorio
Makes sense
Damn I member seeing those at the Bronx Zoo
oops
https://twitter.com/Maximus_Honkmus/status/938255477246345223
I can’t see it cause lol school chromebook
What does it say
US lawmaker who called out Star Wars battlefront 2 lay out plans for anti-box law
*wheeze*
Finally, loot boxing was a lame practice imo
When the game industry can’t contain its bullshit it shouldn’t be suprised when government intervention happens
Ok seriously, I never know, but do you all consider Alola forms gen 7 pokemon or gen 1 pokemon?
Personally I consider them gen 7 because they came out in gen 7 and they basically are new pokemon, most have stats change type change some even have size change
Gen 1
I just feel more adapted to doing so
Gen 7
Both they are hybrids of sorts to me
Sorta both? I have them in the gen 1 section of my live dex tho
Gen 7
Gen 7. Introduced in that Generation and they’re not available in the 1st. That’d be like calling Weavile a 2nd generation pkm
So would you consider megas as gen 6?
Pretty much really
If I didn’t I wouldn’t know how to come to terms with the incredibly small dexes that they introduced in Gen 6 and Gen 7.
Gen 7, while not entirely new, you can’t find these specific pokemon in Kanto
These trailers are always awesome but the game just doesn’t do it for me. I still go back to Pocket Camp and Super Mario Run daily though…
How time consuming is pocket camp?
It could take around 30 minutes to complete all your tasks, and they reset every 3 hours or so, so you could play the game for multiple hours per day if you’re really dedicated. I’m level 31 which means I’ve spent quite a while so far.
So for people who still play GO what Pokémon are you most excited to catch?
I will resume playing it when they release the new Pokémon, stopped after Halloween. I think I am excited to catch me some Ralts, although I am not sure if it will be part of the first 50 Pokemon to be released.
Knowing its on the cover for it I bet it will
I think the first 50 will be
The starters
Aron line
Load line
Tallow line
Zigzagoon line
Poochyena line
Bagon line
Absol
Ralts line
Wurmple line
Gulpin line
Plus and Minun
Slakoth line
Zangoos and Seviper
Mawile
Skitty line
And 5 others So most likely Whismur line and Shroomish line
I would agree with the Shroomish line, this game needs more shrooms to make it enjoyable.
I am mainly happy about treecko coming lol will defiently look for an aron and absol as well
I hope my first encounter is a Mudkip or Aron
I wouldn’t mind getting a mudkip. I can already say I will most likely get torchic last. That’s how it’s gone every time lol for some reason fire types are rare where I live which sucks because I want a torkoal
On a note unrelated to the article, does anyone read Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)? I just want to say that I have seen the most recent chapter, chapter 100, and it completely blew me away. Sorry that this isn’t really topical but I don’t really know where to express my feelings about the recent chapter since they disabled the comments section for the chapter. If anyone else has read it, let me know how you feel. Remember to use spoiler tags for the finer details.
Used to read it, I think I stopped at chapter 80 or maybe 90 or something, I’d probably try to finish it after I finish reading SBR
???
(I am blanking on the acronym if it is manga-related).
Steel Ball run is the acronym if that’s what you mean 😛
Ah. I am still stuck on reading DIU. Hopefully I’ll get back to it eventually.
My first UM Shiny MUCH BETTER https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/16ce839796c05bd848a8e73fe9231573e145121259862513d4572e3140b236b8.jpg
I hope it gets wet and dies
Well it has Shell Armor so that’s a very real possibility
But nonetheless this only took me 3 warps
HOT DAMN ITS JOLLY, but has Shell Armor but that’s ok I just need a ability capsule
I desire
D E A T H
3868 Srs…
How do you keep track of them
I type em down
I simply lack the ability to keep track of my SOSs or SRs
I usually am watching something or sinning and I just miss one or forget
hmmm
Nice you’re almost halfway there 😀
It’s lowered to like 1 in 4080 something in this game
Aykcyialllly it’s 1/4096. But who’s counting?
Me
Lol feel bad for you
Yepp
Use this as motivation. 25,000 encounters…

This shiny find video is one the best. This kid is so jazzed up it’s incredible hahaha
Since Seraph is desiring death, I will try my best to do it by giving diabetes to Seraph. And it will only cost $1.00. This is also for everyone else and only lasts for today in the U.S. I believe. Correct me if I am wrong.

You are considerate my dude
Guess what? Officially reached 3900 srs
I’ll continue in a bit
Will you give up at 5000?
>Implying Seraph gives up ?
The new YouTube Rewind has many cool ytbers, a whole segment with the popular Animation YouTubers (Jaiden, Odd1stout etc) at the end and has few pretty creative ideas. Outside of that, IT F*CKING SUCKED BALLSSSSSSSS
Does it have Jake Paul?
Sadly Yes. Not someone pretending to be Jake Paul, just him (and his brother)
Of course he’s goona be on there. The level of growth his channel has gotten this year is insane
Call me when these rewinds aren’t 80% of people that I’ve never heard of
Nani?
YFW theres a new portal game and its coming to switch aswell, also YFW its just a spin off bridge builder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O-hLjRiBoY
*Dying Pikachu noises*
….
Man Portal 3 sure looks weird
Air slash just triple flinched me
I have a grudge against Air Slash
Too OP for a Bug with eye wings
This would’ve been great news….if Pokemon Go was still a fun game to play.
After watching the Rewind…….bad. Yet again a Rewind with most of the stuff unrecognizable. Plus, I think YT Rewind is fairly American centric, with that eclipse showing and all. So yeah, both the fact it’s literally targeted only to Americans and that majority of them are people I have no idea (I only know the disasters; the Mexican Earthquake, the Las Vegas shooting, Logan and Jake Paul). I give this a 0/10.
I’m overcome with excitement https://media.giphy.com/media/PVOP4DQJZ4Of6/giphy.gif
Pokemon GO is just trying to keep itself popular, it should accept that it’s the worst Pokemon game ever and even the CDI games of Mario and LoZ were better than it.
CDI? If you mean Mario Run, then we disagree
GO doesn’t cost $10 just to pass the tutorial (and in Go you don’t need to spend a penny, you just gotta git good unlike me who still is bad)
Google Hotel Mario and Link the Faces of Evil
As much as I’m not a fan of Link, no the worst game ever to me was
The Chaotic Game (Remember that show? Well its game was trash on all levels)
What are you on about?
No fam like…
Ok so Nintendo was goona make a disc based system with Sony. But Nintendo backed out and partnered with Philips to create the Philips CDi
Because they had access to use Mario and Zelda characters, they created games based on them and they are absolutely terrible. Bad controls, bad cutscenes, bad art bad everything
You can’t even play Pokemon Go at home or during intense weather periods, it’s literally just a game meant only during travelling times.
That’s the point. The point is to go outside and explore
I know, but it’s not accustomed to different countries, for example, Egypt, as most of it is boiling desert, whereas many South American countries like Brazil are mainly Amazon, and Chile is a big mountainous country.
I find enjoyment in it all the time
I check it frequently to make sure nothing rare is poking about my yard.
I enjoy it too but when I only find Rattata and other useless rodents, it kills the fun.
That’s naive and wrong. If you compare Pokémon Go to the mainseries then you’re missing the point
All I know is that Pokemon-Go missed the perfect opportunity to put Gen 3.
Worst Pkm game ever? Lol no. The game is fun but the problem is that it can’t stay popular forever so they just keep trying to add new stuff and hope new players come up resulting in midling results
Currently listening to old school Pokémon songs on Amazon Music until my headphones die.
OMG EXTRA CREDITS GOT ON YOUTUBE REWIND YAY
AND TABBES AYYY
I actually kinda liked YouTube Rewind? I think a lot of people forget that YouTube is such a big platform that you’re never goona recognize a lot of the people there because you aren’t their audience.
These vlogger type people get millions of subs and views. I don’t know what you people were expecting really.
Overall it was pretty well put together and well edited like every year. The sudden tone change from shooting stars memes to tragedy and death and disaster was very forced
The animation channel segment at the end was where it truly shined though. I think these are some of the most creative users on the site. I’m especially happy that Extra Credits got in. If you do not watch them you are doing yourself a disservice. If you love games you will love their channel.
I was also really happy to see Tabbes, Odd1sOut and Jaiden Animations.
But next year I just need one thing…
Captain Disillusion. Make it happen Youtube
Extra Credits on Rewind?! That’s odd and awesome :O
Damn Kuppo
Not only do you watch Vinesause but you also watch Extra Credits!?
You have good taste lol
Tbh I haven’t watched from EC, but I remember really liking some of the vids, like the Cthulhu one FE
I can’t believe I got the name cthulhu right in my first tryI just found it too cringeworthy with the fidget spinner and rap scene, and the Pauls, as well as Seth Rogen’s scenes. Plus, I only understood the disasters that happened and that’s pretty bad, when you only recognize the negative events.
>Fidgets spinners on a YT rewind
You can’t make this shiit up
I’m not joking there was a scene where the fidget spinner was used as a main “plot” point.
The use of Fidget Spinners in this Rewind was actually creative
I’ve been trying to eliminate cringe from my vocabulary because it’s overused.
The fidget spinner stuff should be there because it was a crazy trend in 2017. Same with the shooting stars and all star memes
Also the Paul brothers had insane growth in their channels this year. Of course they were goona be on YouTube Rewind. It doesn’t matter if you like them, they deserve to be here.
This isn’t a video for the youtuber you individually like
Eh, at least there wasn’t dabbing.
They don’t deserve to have grown so much
But Jake Paul
Yeah. He is a massive YouTubers who grew in popularity at an insane rate this year
He’s also a neighbourhood disruptor and went through a similar PewDiePie-esque scandal with Disney.
Lol it was not a pewdiepie-esque scandal
Yes. By appealing to some tweens. He’s not a content creator, he shouldn’t be on Rewind. They could have just make someone parody It’s everyday bro, that would be enough.
Fam, grow up please? Half of these people appeal to tweens too. That’s because it’s their audience.
He’s now a huge face of YouTube. Like it or not.
Just because you don’t like the guy doesn’t mean he hasn’t gotten more subs in a year than some people get in 7.
Have you actually seen what his videos are? It’s just… he might be popular, but YouTube shouldn’t support people like him
What are his videos like? (I honestly just want to know, even though I most likely will never watch them)
Yes. They’re bad but that’s just my opinion. Apparently a lot of people like his content so he’s going to be on there. I don’t understand what you don’t get about this.
Philip DeFranco surged in popularity throughout 2016 and 2017. He is on there
Jacksfilms became more popular this year. He is in there
Animation channels have become a thing, they’re on there.
What is hard to understand?
PSA:
Turns out that they were only giving away the first 10,000 slices. So now everyone is going to have to pay more for death by diabetes because they ran out.
I hath returned with a different haircut…and subway
I’m watching Scorpion and I have No idea why I laughed so hard at this
”-You have superiority complex
-I am superior”
Word of warning: new advent article coming at you soon ;p
Is there going to be one for everyday like an Advent Calendar or is it just time to time?
Every day
Okie good, I was a bit confused because of the last Advent post being only for one day.
Everyday leading to Christmas! haha
OK thanks for clarifying!
When you see people talking about how Slaking is going to, “shake up the meta” of Pokemon Go.
…
…
…
WHAT DO YOU MEAN. THERE IS NO “META” IN POKEMON GO. THERE’S NOT EVEN ANY LOCAL PLAYER VS PLAYER LET ALONE ONLINE BATTLING! THERE’S JUST BATTLING LEGENDS FFS
Well with Gyms they say it will be a hard one because so many people think it will be the first to pass 4000 CP, Remember not even Mewtwo, Ho-Oh or Lugia passed that bar how tf would Slaking?!
Slaking is extremely strong. The reason it isn’t used more is because of its in game ability
So? Your Saying this giant Ape will surpass the Pseudo’s, Blissey and every Legendary so to date
It’s strong, but not as strong as a Legend
He has the 10th highest BST in the game
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/46bb21197511f7f64b70093d2b8e39c0b1c6c219adf1be36300d38602efb44ca.png
Pretty sure that’s only due to Dex numbers being higher than Kyogre and Groudon
He is tied with them
https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/stat/all.shtml
Nah it has a BST of 670. Higher than a lot of legends. And 70 higher than any pseudo.
They need to up the chance to find fighting types then if they’re dumb enough to make it harder to take down than Blissey…and make Hariyama, Blaziken, and Breloom powerful
I believe Hariyama will get super buff here and Blaziken too
Breloom I feel will get all super quick attacks and can dish out tons of damage quick
I hope. I still don’t even have Machoke or Machamp because they never f*cking spawn.
I think them making Fighting types more likely near sporting areas only is dumb honestly Machop should become super common in mountains and cities and uncommon in suburbs
And I know the feels, Geodude never spawns in my area excluding the Rock event
Also Sandshrew are very uncommon as well all Fighting types and almost all ground (except I find a few Rhyhorn here and there)
