Pokémon GO, the mobile Pokémon app sensation, will be getting a few new features on the iOS platform thanks to its work with Apple’s ARKit Framework.
The three major additions to the new system are:
- Scale: With AR+, Pokémon are now fixed to a point in space, meaning you can walk up close to a Pokémon to see to how they’ll look in the real world. Imagine looking up at a massive Onix or walking around a gigantic Snorlax blocking your path! This feature brings us one step closer to truly realizing Pokémon the way they are supposed to be represented in the real world. Pokémon GO AR photos will never be the same again!
- Awareness: Pokémon will run away if they become aware of the Trainers getting close, so be careful. You can sneak up close to earn an Expert Handler bonus, but think twice before running right up to that Charizard! You’ll need to be extra cautious so you don’t scare it away. An awareness meter will appear next to the Pokémon, and if the meter fills up, the Pokémon will flee. If it does, you can try tapping on the tall grass nearby, which may cause the Pokémon to reappear and give you an additional chance to catch it.
- Expert Handler Bonus: Think you have what it takes to be an expert Pokémon handler? While in AR+ mode, you’ll finally have the chance to prove it! If you’re able to catch a Pokémon while in close proximity, you’ll have a better chance at earning Great and Excellent Throw bonuses, as well as an all-new Expert Handler bonus that awards even more XP and Stardust.
Players using Android and iPhone models older than the 6s are out of luck for now, but Niantic may be able to expand the availability of AR+ in the future.
This is actually very interesting. I guess I am lucky in that I do have an IPhone 7. I wonder if these AR changes are limited to when you are catching Pokémon or if it expands to the overworld map.
Ugh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d453db8d9e1446ffbaf131f7c4c33aa62bfa3f84c861c53510d89763cf599309.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/788d47c564aba73b73633a26a62f5131f8800c8cff47f56368d010725f74abf6.png
This place is so dead man almost nothing new can be found here
Ok that’s pretty cool
Like
Really cool, makes me wish to have an Iphone lol
These sound pretty good. Still can’t/won’t play it.
Same. I just don’t want to get caught doing it.. or invest so much time into it
I just don’t have a phone capable of it and am not bothered about it anyway tbh.
They can run away? Does this make shitt harder to catch?!
They’ve always been able to run away tho. So that makes no difference
Hopefully
Gotta add challenge
Pokedex Number: 85
Castmos (Forecast-atmosphere)
Classification: The Weather Pokemon
Height: 1’5” /6’07”
Weight: 2.6 Lbs/10.7 Lbs
Typing: Normal/Flying (Normal can be Fire, Water, Ice, Rock, Cosmic, or Nonexistent(Mono Flying) depending on the weather)
Ability: Climatic
Stats:
HP: 75
Attack: 75/150/150/150
Defense: 75/150/150/150
Special Attack: 75/150/150/150
Special Defense: 75/150
Speed: 75/150/150
Base Stat Total: 450/600
Pokedex Entry: Similarly to its previous form, its body is highly reactive to the weather and it will change form in order to match it. Although it isn’t that strong normally, it becomes incredibly powerful in its weather forms. Trainer who witness a Castmos in a weather form for the first time may even mistake it for a legendary Pokemon due to the sheer power exuding from it.
Pokedex Entry Weather Form: Upon unleashing its true form, its power skyrockets beyond any expectations expected of it. A Castmos in a weather form is able to level an entire city within a span of mere minutes, given that it actually wanted to. Interestingly enough, its mood and temperament also seem to change with the weather as well.
Cosmic? Ew
Ew you wanted Light
No. I wanted Sound.
That’s worse.
Take a look at your fanmons if you want “Ew”
But I thought you were better than me
I am
Cosmic=psychic fam
I have a 5s… F*ck!

Just got bloodwork yesterday too
Remember that popularity poll from before SuMo? Where Greninja won? Order of the filly evolved starters according to their popularity
Greninja > Charizard > Blaziken > Sceptile > Infernape > Blastoise > Swampert > Empoleon > Samurott > Delphox > Typhlosion > Serperior > Venusaur > Torterra > Feraligatr > Emboar > Meganium > Chesnaught
Keep in mind this is japan only but it’s super interesting
And super bad.
???????
Can you not read
– Charizard in Second
– Emboar One of the lowest
– Delphox before Typhlosion
I hate Japan ??
Venusaur and Feraligatr so low, especially considering what’s above them 🙁
Yeah Delphox easily should have been topped by Typhlosion, Seperior and Feraligatr
Okay so why the helling hell is Empoleon so low
And better yet why the hecksauce is all of gen 2 so low
Chestnaught is last 🙁
How did Delphox beat Chesnaught? How did Swampert beat Empoleon and Samurott?
Most of these are spot on but Sceptile should be #1
At least it’s #1 for you.
I am quite happy with the announcement of this update. I have taken several extended breaks from this game, yet as of this morning I have caught 251 of the available Pokémon species. Thus I would have argued for them to roll out an update with more Pokémon. However, the quicker these updates rollout the shorter the longevity of these games will be: the time when they will have released all Pokémon that are currently available as of the current generation. I think that big updates like these not concerned with adding more Pokémon would be able to mitigate this. That and I need a way to get Stardust more efficiently. I have a lot of Pokémon to use stardust for. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c35382919422436706b7cd2e4beea97f11c600322f44f422e74e0881f3194133.png
Decided to change my mascot legends a lot
Svarestyc
Grass/Fire
The Summer Pokemon
As it runs through the Slavy Region in intense heat, it gives everyone the will to come outside and have fun. When it howls, Summer nights get warmer.
Signature Ability: Summer Harvest
All of the members of its team get more HP (when using Healing or HP draining moves) even if it isn’t in the battle.
Signature Move: The Howl of Heat
Fire
Special
Power: 90
Accuracy: 80
Sets up Harsh Sunlight
Marzimna
Ice/Rock
The Winter Pokemon
It’s always observing the people of Slavy. Some people think it has a Heart of ice, but sometimes it can make people care for each other more.
Signature Ability: Mountain Shards
When it or a member of its team enters the battle, Stealth Rock is set up
Signature Move: The Ramming of Cold
Ice
Physical
Power: 90
Accuracy: 80
Sets up a Hail
Why is the ice one crap compared to the fire one?
It has an OP ability.
The signature moves sound more like Z-Moves and the abilities are either OP or just odd 😡

I finally got it!!1!! I love this pokemon so much. top 5 fire types
Nice, congratulations on your shiny Disco Clown, Disghost.
THAT NAME 😀
Awesome!
Started work on my mascot legends
Only just seeing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_hGITmNuo&feature=youtu.be
Anyone getting anything Pokémon related Christmas? Know any of your other presents?
I sure hope so. All I know is that I’m gifting Pokémon stuff to people lol
Nothing Pokemon related afaik. I only know I asked for Zoro and Franky One Piece Funko Pop! which aren’t out until at least the end of January.
Super

With these 2 I will have half the crew as I already have Luffy and Chopper.
Nice
I actually opted out of getting White 2 for Kamen Rider Climax Fighters.
Not pokemon, but I’m getting a Switch
Eh, that’ll eventually be Pokémon related :p
I asked for the Buzzwole GX box set, Pokémon Y, some of the new Mega Connect stuff like Charizard
Lol yall getting wholesome gift and me and my mum bought each other the exact same bottle of Smirnoff
I live another year in order to eventually pay off my loans and such that it won’t fall on the shoulders of my other family members. It is a long-term present.
Getting a bunch of Pokemon card boxes including some Shining legends and a Shiny Silvally box. Also the USUM guide book because why not?
Plushes, Ultra Sun, Odessey, and a possibly Waifulicious poster
Tell not a soul ;3
Not that I know of but I am planning to get my nieces ultra sun and ultra moon for Christmas. Will be closer to January though because of money and they both understand that they aren’t getting the gift until then. They obviously don’t know what they are getting yet but I am sure they will love it lol
Pokemon Mega Construx

Ok this is cool actually. I might go try this out…. if it isn’t like.. freezing cold
But that is the best time. If it is snowing then Ice and Steel types will be much more common.
It’s not snowing it’s just cold

I actually really like this fanmon. It would be nice to add a bit more description to it because I wanna know more about it but I friggin love it as of now
What sort of description should I add?
Fun fact: Poepoe, although not spelled exactly, (without the es), means butt in some languages.
Seraph you around? Wanted to share how OP one of my legendary trio’s moves are
-Poison Darts
Poison
Special
BP: 35
Acc: —
PP: 5
“The user takes quills seeped in heavy poison and fires them at rapid pace at the target.”
Effects: This attack never misses, hits 2-5 times, 20% chance to Badly Poison, while 50% to Poison
One of my synthetic trio members gets it, a Poison/Flying type one to be exact.
I’m giving an ability to the Pokémon that gets this so it can wreck sh*t up too.
It’s a bit much imo.
The 50% to Poison probably was a bit much
2-5 probably was a tad over board too (maybe it just hits twice only)
It’s largely the fact that it never misses combined with those things.
This is honest to god broken. I have a mon with an ability that combines two of the most broken competitive abilities in the game but managed to make the mon weak enough to balance it out
You can still balance this,but a lot of work is needed
Ughhh, I have to take my Spanish test in a few minutes, I am screwed
Wel, feliz navidad
If only I knew what that meant (I’m kidding, I know what it means)
Buena suerte :p
No esucheslo Alex. ¡Natale miente!
“esucheslo”
10/10 spanish ?
Just remember, no hablo de cataluña.
Any gen 8 rumors floating around?
It will be on the Switch.
Not s rumor but there is speculation the region will be based on Spain because of ash’s new outfit in next years movie
Tfw when you realize your mon that isn’t broken would be banned by smogon because lol shadowtag
The reason why Mega Flygon was scrapped https://twitter.com/GekkougaLarry/status/943342251790520320?s=17
Why didn’t they get the other guy to design it? That American dude
James turner? Flygon is bug like and this stuff is right up his ally…
Why does everyone want to make Flygon suck so bad?
Bug/Dragon- It loses its whole gimmick around sandstorm and basically becomes Cacnea (A desert thriving Pokémon that is injured by its own habitat)
Bug/Ground- Vulnerable to so much more common types than original type
Thats not what I was saying? I’m saying it looks bug like and turner designs those types of mons well
Oh sorry… I thought you were implying it should become Bug type upon Mega evolving, but what Pokémon has he designed that supports this? (I don’t follow who makes what)
Naganadel
He’s also did a lot of UBs, including buzzwole so he’s good at making weird stuff
Ok, then sounds like a good idea to me Then
I never talk of it, but I really like Nagandel
Yeeee
They have more than 20 designers Y the “British” dude though??
James turner is a god with weird designs
I don’t mind him but he’s not the perfect guy for Mega Flygon
I can see him doing so
How he look?
He’s British you Americacentric Yank ?
I was told he’s American -.-
I hope gen 8+Sinnoh Remakes brings back Megas (espically for gen 5,6,7,8) and Sig Z moves.
I agree, Megas were amazing and there needs to be MUCH more.
I agree. This time I want megas for ALL the starters tbh this just needs to be a thing, gives them more viability.
I agree. They also should give Megas/some sort of them to the mascot legendaries and Dialga and Palkia.
I think megas should be used to add viability to pokémon instead of making legendaries look cooler.
So…can he get it together and give it to us now or…
anybody knows any old conceptual art for Mario and Sonic?…..I mean the origin one
IMO, the following Pokemon should get Megas in Generation 8:
– Porygon-Z
– Meganium, Feraligatr, Typhlosion
– Togekiss
– Azumarill
– Slowking
– Ursaring
– Kingdra
– Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon
– Luxray
– Roserade
– Spiritomb
– Drapion
– Mantine
– Tangrowth
– Dialga
– Palkia
– Serperior, Emboar, Samurott
– Musharma
– Unfeasant
– Escadrille
– Lilligant
– Krookodile
– Cofagrigus
– Jellicent
– Pyroar
– Florges
– Malamar
– Aurorus/Tyrantrum
– Noivern
– Volcanion
– Incineroar, Primarina, Decidueye
– Rimbombee
– Lycanroc
– Araquanid
– Tsareena
– Salazzle
– Mimikyu
– Bruxish
– Solgaleo
– Lunala
– Tapus
I doubt anything that gets a Z-Move will get a Mega, and vice versa. Otherwise at least one of Mewtwo and Lucario probably would’ve gotten one..
Youre forgetting
Druddigon
Vespiquen
Beartic
Volcarona
Archeops
Carracosta
Gen 5 has so much mega potential it isnt even funny
> Dragon/Rock with Rough Skin, Solid Rock, or a new defensive ability, lowered speed and sp.attack but its defenses and attack raise, becomes more gargoyle like
>Bug/Rock, with a crystallised crown and a prominent stinger. Much faster to abuse the amazing offensive type of Rock and the pivoting ability of U-Turn. Give it Levitate for defense or Moxie for offense.
> Ice with Swift Swim, or even a Slush Rush/Swift Swim combo ability. General improvements to make it even better, has icy brass knuckles.
>. Keep the type, and make it Mothra and give it Magic Guard. Bye bye sneaky pebbles.
The fossils, like Aerodactyl, revert to their ‘true form’ before the restoration process gave them Rock-typing.
> Dragon/Flying Archeops that finally drops Defeatist, maybe getting Moxie to be a slightly better normal Salamence. Alternatively, give it Rock Head, keep it Rock type, and give it Head Smash and Brave Bird.
> Water/Ground, is now like a soft shelled turtle. Has Swift Swim, becomes much more agile and offensive. Alternatively, make it a snapping turtle with Strong Jaws, but make sure the type isn’t Water/Dark because that’s Sharpedo territory.
Hmm let’s see…
-Maybe
-Yes
-Maybe
-Meh, I don’t know if it could be interesting
-Makes sense
-Meh, how could it make it better?
– Sure why not
-Absolutely yes, yes, yes!
-Absolutely as well
-Its possible, but isn’t it good enough without one?
-Why would it get a Mega? It really has no reason to
-Yes
-Mantine is Gen.2, but yes
-I can’t actually think of a good design for this one
-I think these next two need primal forms rather than Mega’s
-Yes to all (Eeeeee Samurott)
-Maybe
-No
-Yes
-If Lilligant gets one shouldn’t Whimsicott too?
-Yes
-These next 2 I can’t actually see getting Mega’s
-Why Pyroar over Kalos Starters?
-Yes
-yes
-Yes
-Why? One Mythical got a Mega so… Do they really need them?
-Sure why not?
-Meh doesn’t seem to fit
-Only could work if a full fusion of all the forms
-Yes
-No
-No
-Yes
-Make it evolutions first
-Meh do they really need more?
-No!
Yes Roserade pls, shove it more love GF
I really don’t see a reason though, it’s already good without it
If thinking because I don’t like it, well I changed my mind I more respect it for besting me so much (and I had Burmy for my advantage)
