  2. So to Amend my previous Post, I’m looking to replace my Arbok in Ultra Moon, so I need a Pokemon that is IN THE NEW ALOLA POKEDEX(Because This is an In-Game Team) to replace it with. My other Members are(when fully evolved) Primarina Lycanroc-Dusk Crabominable Noivern and Malamar.

  6. Hey Fairy you asked about dream games for Pokémon well finally finished mine

    Pokémon
    Vernal Diamond
    Summer Pearl

    -Rotom Poketch, with Dex nav features and PSS

    -Updated Pokédex, 210 appear in Platinum, while in these 350 Pokémon appear.

    -Mega’s for Weavile, Tropius, Noctowl, Darmanitan, Cryogonal, Floatzle and more

    -Sinnoh forms for a few Pokémon including Heatmor, Durant, Bunnelby line and more

    – The Adamant and Lustrous orbs, are used and Mega evolve Dialga and Palkia respectively

    -Girtina gets also Mega evolves in a delta episode estique style (But way better than ORAS’s way)

    -Special side quest that adds Darkrai as an in game encounter

    -Battle Frontier Post game adds all previous E4, Champion, Gym Leaders and evil team leaders and other big characters join it as various battleable characters

    -Seasons are added that make certain areas encounters differ

    -Roark joins his father to become a Double Battle gym and a new gym in Jubilife City is opened being a Normal gym, but you still now must stop and defeat team Galactic and get Rock Smash in Oreburgh City

    -Honey trees still exist, but are shortened time restraints to only waiting two hours apart from each other

    -Bertha retires and resides in the Resort area kinda like a semi gym post game

    -Lucius (Psychic guy) steps down as E4 member and plays a more prominent role in-game

    -Volkner takes Lucius’s place and a new Fairy specialist joins the E4 in Bertha’s place

    -Bertha’s new kid takes SunnyShore Gym and makes it Ground type

    What so you guys think?

    • As long as rotom isnt as annoying as it is in USUM and no Loto Roto
      I dont like the idea of Sinnoh Forms in general Sinnoh isnt a tropical Island like Alola
      MEhhhhh I like Darkrai idea, but they should just bring back in game events for mythical pokemon
      Adamant and Lustrrious orbs and giratina thing sound fine to me
      The megas sound pretty cool
      Mehhh I prefer a Frontier AND a place to rematch, dont combine (it just lessens the greatness of rematchable trainers)
      Seasons are cool
      The gym idea sounds pretty cool
      Good! Lower Honey tree times
      Bertha retiring is fine with me
      Meh I dont think Lucian should step down he was an amazing Elite 4 member, maybe Flint if one had to go
      Personally it sounds better if both Flint and Volkner were both E4 members.
      Bertha’s new kid? Idk sounds kinda random to me? and Bertha already has a gym place in post game wouldnt that be ground too?

      • You do realise that tropical areas aren’t the only place Darwinian evolution can take place, right? :p

        Husky Rockruff > Arctic Wolf Lycanroc (Ice or Ice/Normal > Ice/Dark, Ice> Ice, Ice/Rock > Ice/Rock, etc)

        King Crab Crabrawler > Kickboxing King Crab Crabominable (Fighting/Water, Fighting/Steel)

        Would say more but I’m busy rn

        • I know evolutions happens in but places like Hawaii that had no human interaction for a looong time we got to see amazing and beautiful evolving of animals which makes sense for Alola forms to already be there. But sinnoh (which is based on a place in japan) seemingly had human interaction a long time. So it wouldn’t make as much sense. Another reason they did Alola forms is to surprise fans of the people of the Changes to Gen 1 Pokemon since they been the same for a while. Kanto- Sinnoh Pokemon have already been in Sinnoh. So I wouldn’t make sense for them. Unova-Alola Pokemon are fairly new so it’s not like a big shock if they got new forms and wouldn’t match thatvreason either.

          • Fam, human interaction is what caused half the Alola forms. AloPix and AloPersian happened because humans changing something about the Pokémon, same with AloMuk.

            Animals can evolve with or without humans.

            And by the time we get Sinnoh remakes, anyone calling Unova ‘new’ probably isn’t the brightest because they’ll be a decade old

      • -That may be true, but animals do adapt to colder climates, but this one I was iffy on
        -I wish they would too instead of just a mysterious person going “Oh you got one? Let me give you an item for it”
        – It would be the Frontier still (or whatever exactly Plt. had) just a possibility to battle more old trainers
        -And should have mentioned all trainers will be rebattleable
        -I have always thought Jubilife really had no being other than to be, so I thought add an obvious idea and give Jubilife a good new reason to be
        -Flint could go the only issue is why would… Oh I get it now! His friend Volkner would step up to take his place
        -I had thoughts to make them a Double Battle E4 match, but thought that might get out of hand
        -Bertha wouldn’t really have a gym, but that one resort in the Resort area would be her retirement and she would battle you from there (sorta like Cynthia in BW)

  7. So after playing with the Master Cycle I can deduce (hehehe duce) its capabilities

    -Handles pretty smoothly as you would expect from motorcycle physics
    -has decent top speed I can’t do horse side by side comparison yet but it’s pretty fast
    -the short hops are not too great but it’s a motorbike so I’m not expecting it to leap into the air
    -you can vault yourself into the air for quick time shooting but the mounted combat is relatively the same
    -lastly is the fuel, this thing has a fuel tank that is refilled via ancient materials (screws, springs shafts) and its pretty fuel efficient gets a whole refuel with 10 screws

  8. Ok so mina’s trial is amazing.
    I call it the culmination of all the trials, going around Alola again to places at the beginning of ur adventure to battle all the trial captains is a great addition by GF.
    I think this is a significant upgrade over SM. Lengthening the main game and challenge.
    Totally did not see this coming

    Full USUM review coming soon!
