It’s time to get out and GO!
The latest update for Pokémon GO has gone live and introduces a few new (but previously reported on) features to the game:
- Added 50 Pokémon native to the Hoenn region
- Added new weather conditions and their associated benefits and disadvantages
- Added the ability to create Battle Parties – allowing you to create set teams for specific raids
We’ll update this post with a full list of the newly added Pokémon, moves and everything in between – stay tuned!
Just finished my breakfast of Trix
“Silly Buneary Trix are for trainers”
I’m gonna make a omelette
I ate Scrambled Eggs with meat
I’m pretty sure this is new, but if you go talk to Sidon and King Donephan, they’re going to talk about how Mipha loved Link and wished they could’ve been married. Pretty cute!
Heyo so update on my two most recent Go goals for getting Vileplume and Kingdra
I’m only 20 from Vileplume with a 940CP Gloom. And only 23 from Kingdra with a 1170CP Seadra
I also am Buddying with Omanyte for the final 3 candies till Omastar (Unless a wild one appears and I catch it)
Geez, even in his diary, Revali is egotistical as heck.
Well this was unexpected I beat a Hiker’s Eevee and she evolved! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b9554dfee2d21f2809183fa9a96f61dc319a04a8fb4010483750e3a0d0720327.jpg
My team now is
Furball (Torracat) lvl.26
Lola (Lopunny) lvl.24
Dusty (Dusk Lycanroc) lvl.25
Minty (Seel) lvl.24
Luna (Shiinotic) lvl.24
Update on those puppies i found: one sadly died, it was already very weak when i found it and it didnt want to eat anything.
The other three are already lookinh a lot better and i just fed them puppy food and some milk. Im probably keeping them for at least 3 weeks before i’ll take them to a shelter https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/13ff5a7594eca9319f998396b78d981865bead2ffb02b241c61fa68b95dae10b.jpg
Sorry to hear one died, poor little thing, if you hadn’t come along no doubt none would’ve made it. Well done for being kind enough to take them in and care for them.
Omg……….those puppies are adorable…..how anyone can abandon animals is beyond me……I’m so sad that one of them died………..you are a great person for taking them in and helping them get better.
Although i’m not too big of a fan of dogs (think Daruk, if you got his cutscene in DLC 2), I still think it’s really really sweet and kind of you to have rescued them and it’s great that they’re able to recover, it’s inhumane, err….incanine to abandon these babies!
Aw </3 It's awesome you gave them a home for the time being. And at least you'll get to spend time with puppies during Christmas
Hope the person who ditched them gets what’s coming to them, bless you for looking after these poor babies
You are very good people
Wow…you are doing something really great. Death, even that of a stranger, can be a difficult thing to handle while still being able to show compassion and not falling prey to desensitization. Best of luck to you and those puppies and I hope the rest are able to pull through.
Game recently deleted a tweet saying that Crystal will be released soon on the VGC. Hopefully it’s true cause that was one game that I never got to play on the GBC/GBA.
Already got my team planned out if it is true!
Does anyone love me enough to quickly trade back and forth the four new ultra beasts in a few minutes so I can get the shiny charm and start hunting them?
You mean Stakataka, Blasphepalhon and Poipole right?
Yeah and poipoles evo if anyone has that as well
Ah ok.
I hat you but I can help.

You’re the best, thank you so much! Now to get that shiny Blacephalon *o*
https://media.giphy.com/media/PXM7c0MMoJve8/giphy.gif
GL with your hunt 🙂

My favorite part of the winter months! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/56f5286c739beeafa28238002064a07762e83910701b5e25d86bdc76664b117f.png
I love the new weather
You know how it has been going around that Gamefreak is changing up the next Pokemon games that is coming for the Nintendo Switch. Well I think they just revealed how Pokémon battles are going to change in Generation 8. I have to say the graphics looks quite realistic.
https://youtu.be/6w3Nn8J2q_Y
Best ball for shiny Blacephalon? Master?
Or just beast?
Yes. Use the master ball
Okay!
Wait did you get a shiny blacephalon?
Not yet. I just started my hunt.
Ah. Good luck though! I’m still on my hunt for a shiny Pheramosa.
Good luck to you too! You have the shiny charm?
Thanks and no, I don’t want to try to finish the Pokedex atm, it’d take forever.
Beast unless suicide is a chance
Most likely is with “Mind-Blown” on the table.
OH yeah. I forgot about mind blown.
My mind is blown because you forgot about that.
The recoil is insane
It’s like Flare Blitz.
Except when it fails it still damages you
Oh.
Learned that the hard way
Why does nobody ever talk about the fact that Ghetsis tries to murder you in B2W2
I do
He also tries to murder Lellie
yeah but when he tried to kill Lillie I was just laughing because his 3D model is so poorly animated
I was laughing too because of what happened after
TBF it’s harder to make 3D animations than 2D.
Doesn’t make it any better though? It’s still a bad scene because the animators failed to capture any actual stakes.
Honestly like… did anyone ever think Lillie was ACTUALLY in any danger?
Meh, I felt some sort of tension. But, it got 100 times better when Colress “Nothin personnel, kid”s his way in
Did you? Did you seriously think there would be any actual harm done? Did you really think Game Freak had the balls to do that?
Yes.
You are delusional lol
Hey I liked these games 😛
Liking a game and thinking GF would actually take a risk in their story are two VERRYY different things
Maybe
I mean it’s better than just looking at some emotionless icons walking around and moving, making us only assume they’re bad or someone’s in trouble.
No actually because in 2D, you can get away with more. You don’t have to specify. You piece it together in your mind. When you put it in 3D, you have more you have to stipulate on.
What? Everyone I knew pretty much knew that he tried to kill you. If you’re talking about the Lillie scene in RR, I pretty sure the only reason they didn’t show him directly hitting her is to keep the E rating.
I never hear anyone bring that up idk.
And the scene in Rainbow Rocket is a failure in every way. It isn’t that he didn’t hit her on screen, it’s that you have no reason to believe this guy would actually do something to her. There are no stakes because the threat isn’t real.
I’m a bit iffy on this point. On one point, I don’t take any of the Pokemon villians in the main series seriously (which I think is more of a problem with how Gamefreak writes it’s villains–meaning they stink at it) Most of the time, they’re just comic relief and most of the time they’re not funny. The only exception I found with this is team skull because somehow, Gamerfreak is pretty aware that they’re villians aren’t taken seriously and sometimes ( note sometimes) the execution of team skull being a joke worked.(which is a problem of it’s own–I mean why have them there if you aren’t going to give them conflict for your story?).
On the other hand, Ghetsis is the same guy who threatened to kill you with a Pokemon. I’m guessing to some people that gives him some more credibility to be more of a dick, but the scene fails (in my opinion) for more of the fact that Colress comes out gets rid of him in the next scene, removing any tension whatsoever.
So in writing this “Pokemon USUM review not really a USUM review but more of a modern pokemon review”, I’m laying out my points. One of my topics is the role of the player character and each game after gen 2 gets progressively longer until Gen 6 is an entire paragraph… .-.
If you’re going to review it as a whole, you might want to seperate you’re sections more clearly. It helps
… i am?
No, I mean if some parts of the review are going to be more about the series itself than it’s better to puts those at the beginning of the review and then go into the game itself. I’ve just found that to be much easier to do.
Other than that, I can’t wait to read your review!
I mean, shows how much complex the Pokemon plot has gotten over the years ( even tho some of them still sucks)
Exactly. And that’s my major criticism honestly
Gen 8 teaser in February?
We can only hope.
Well I finally saw Coco….
It was the Best Movie of the year, I laughed I cried and made a meme of it too, but one single complaint
The guy who completely faded’s guitar, when Miguel fell in the pool he dropped his guitar the guy’s prized possession and then they left it there! Didn’t even retrieve it later, this just irked me the wrong way. Oh and here’s the meme https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/751c8589c8818f936fe1b361a0117d6c9ac93fdea2cabf8f4622cf2aa5fe5bea.jpg
Does anyone have a compilation of the interviews game freak has done?
Just searched up Gamefreak interview and found one regarding the story aspects if you need it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgTUuEG96K4
I’m back baby, what’s the haps
I finished Champion’s Ballad and am addicted to the boss’s music. It’s so catchy and funky!
I learnt you can refight
Mulduking and Igneo Talus Titan
Me too I forgot to take their pics and I can’t buy their pics :/
Nupe I tried, but in the end the hyrule compendium is for psychotics (which I very much am)
pokemon is terrible lol
Eh we’re just past it’s prime
It’s genetically unfit to remain fresh throughout the years unlike Father Mario and Mother Zelda.
bullshit
Well yeah, Gens 5-7 have been fairly divisive.
No. No no no what?
Pokemon is the same game now that it was 21 years ago. It has plenty of ways of innovating but instead Game Freak just wants to up the graphics and pokedex count while telling stories that stop you from playing the game
oh
Mario no (if you referring to last year of crap)
Zelda only had one major push in the right direction
I meant Super Mario Odyssey but yeah Mario has occasional large milestones and then years worth of meh-ok-bad games, whereas Zelda is pretty consistent but only a few are gems (BOTW for example)
mmm no? Look at the jump from 2D zelda to 3D zelda. Alot changed
I wasn’t referring to that it’s already been a good transition
I was referring to like Triforce heroes and not too many liked Skyward Sword but I liked it plenty
BOTW really raises the bar but I would like to see another 3D Zelda with a traditional dungeon, dungeon item the good stuff
I’m about to murder my neighbour.
Good to hear
How does one do the spoiler tags?
Dude spoiler tags
I have no idea how to do that.
but with no spaces
Okie dokie, thanks.
without the period
Okie thanks!
UB Zedla
I feel like hatching my shiny Dewpider is taking ridiculously long.
Same here with getting shiny Pheramosa.
Ugh, I know when I hunt those that’ll take me ages too. GL with your hunt.
Thanks! Although with BOTW’s new update and it refreshing my interest of the game, it’ll be hard :/
Its so hard to stay motivated to make this.. I’m just not passionate about modern pokemon. I’m really not. It isn’t the series I fell in love with. I fell in love with the simple journey of HGSS where I was just a kid catching rad pokemon. The biggest difference now is that I don’t have time to poke around and find rare pokemon because the world is at stake and the gods of Life and Death are captured oh no and there’s a meteor and uh oh Lusamine is opening up space portals.
And yeah, Gen 4 did this with Dialga Palkia and Giratina but the game never slowed you down to tell this to you. You could still explore at your own pace.
Gen 6 and 7 has to constantly stop you. You gotta stop to talk to your dumb friends, stop to learn how to catch a pokemon (some times after already catching pokemon yourself *cough* oras *cough*) you have to stop to get your rotom dex you gotta stop to do boring story tasks that never ask of your skill at the game, but rather your attention span
Think of the positive; Pokemon Switch is going to be amazing.
Battery died before you get to The Pokémon Center
how do we know
how do we god damn know that
I wanna stay optimistic for pokemon switch but damn it we have no reason to.
Gamefreak doesn’t know what theyre doing
i know because statically it’d work. Mario was like that, whereas many of its games were pretty subpar, so I feel like Pokéswitch will be a good one.
That’s incredibly naive
Naive or not it’s best to be optimistic about the future rather than be gloomy about it.
I actually agree with you here
Me or her?
You
Being optimistic isn’t being blind. I hope it’s good too. I’m not even talking about the future. I’m talking about how it is right now
Until I see gameplay, I have no real opinion on it
Oh ok
Exactly they’re too handholdy and obsessed with making the story heard
But alas you gotta remember Gamefreak is always changing and evolving with the times and they did state that they want to keep it targeted for kids (stupid ones who won’t know any better)
And I did read that their younger employees where the majority of the game making so that’s a thing
I don’t like USUM but I don’t hate hate it, I wish the safari zone was back and they didn’t restrict you from areas (they couldn’t at least made them blocked by field hazards but they made all of them morons who basically just wouldn’t let you pass)
Just either put up with the cards we’re being dealt with or just steer away until something resparks hope and optimism because as of right now we’re at the end of the road for a while
Can we more accurately ask for a safari zone that isn’t “get lucky to get this pokemon”
But that’s the point of it,
Random fun fact: I got my first shiny from a Safari Zone (Fletchinder)
Reminder that stuff like chansey gets locked in there with a 1 percent encounter rate and appears NOWHERE besides there
Hunting poiple is honest to god the most monotonous thing I’ve ever experienced
I’m 4600+ encounters in
You cant hunt for a gift pokemon 😛
Sr
In USUM Null and Poiple are not shiny locked
I hate SRing any gift Pokemon. In a sense it is easier, however it is so mind numbing. Hopefully you’ll get it soon.
Agreed….
Do you think the Goat-Man stories (mostly from diffrent parts of US and some from Canada) could potentially be a basis for the Goat Starter’s final evo?
Ahahhahaha|AHAHAAHAAHAHHA
….say another word about the possibility of another bipedal fire starter and your life ends
We all know it’s gonna be bipedal
SHUT SHUT SHUTUP
So Media Molecule just confirmed that Dreams will have PSVR support when it releases in 2018!!! My life is officially over. It was really nice knowing you all, if you need me I’ll be endlessly creating things while wearing a headset.
What is that?
Its an upcoming sandbox title for PS4
OH
I GOT SOMETHING
(About the Raccoon starter)
Apart from the „Raccoon and Bee-Tree” story, a Big Native American tribe that partially lived in Canada believed in a Raccoon trickster deity called ”Azaban” known for wearing a Mask.
This is the best idea you’ve ever said raccoon boi with prankster imagine if it had spore im loving it already omg
Spore+Leech Seed.
Ahhhh it sounds so disgusting >w<
And since it's a tricky raccoon imagine all the other moves it'll have access too! And if it's physical it'll be so obnoxious and ugjh,kuokjkliojm
I think they either wouldn’t give it Prankster or wouldn’t give it the moves to take advantage of it. Or they give it to it but then don’t release it.
One word
Primal Groudon
You can’t tell me they care about balance
I’m thinking it’s more that GF like to mess these things up, usually through oversight.
Fairy is pretty unbalanced as they’re strong against so many types.
*Two words
That would probably imply Grass/Dark. Sounds Dope!
Although a Canadian-themed Pokémon region would be AMAZING, I have pretty mixed, close to negative feelings about the starter ‘leaks’.
