This Week’s Big Stories

Kanto or Sinnoh: Which Will See Switch Remake?

Event Reminder

  • Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon’s first global event is due to end this Wednesday! This distribution gives you a Level 10 Rockruff, holding a Focus Band, with the ability Own Tempo, and the moves Fire Fang (Ultra Sun)/Thunder Fang (Ultra Moon) and Happy Hour. This special Rockruff is the only legitimate way one can obtain Dusk Form Lycanroc in game (Evolve at Level 25 between 5pm and 5:59pm), however it can be bred to give offspring Rockruff the Own Tempo ability. As long as a Rockruff has this ability, it can evolve to Dusk Form Lycanroc.

    • Sonic OC’s are people who play through the game purely to unlock more clothing stores. At least according to sonic forces.

  2. Apparently a spot has opened for a new direct on the Japanese website. It’s always a good signal that something is coming

  7. Okay I actually really like all these animal crossing amiibos I bought. The only thing is that amiibo festival should never have been made :I

    • Lolz if they ported amiibo festival I think I would immediately develop stage 4 cancer and use my last dying breath to smash my switch

  10. Wonderlocke team so far at first trial in USUM:
    -Popplio (Triton) lvl 16
    -Ekans (Abo) lvl 16
    -Roggenrola lvl 16
    -Cubone lvl 16
    -Herdier lvl 16
    -Kadabra lvl 16

    I realize I’m a bit overleveled and I’m just kind of doing a super laid back version of a wonderlocke, but I’m having more fun than I would if I planned a team.

  13. Hi Jump Kick has 90 accuracy? I thought it had less than that. That’s actually not a bad accuracy rate. It’s not perfect obviously, but it’s not nearly as bad as it could be.

Jeebus I am crazy tired, tomorrow my parents are gonna be in Florida to sell my Grandma’s condo and that means it’s just me my siblings and the dogs home alone… hoo ray… normally I’d kill to have the place to myself but it really means me having to be the responsible one and keep the house up and running and keeping the dogs happy and occupied AND I got work tomorrow

  15. Okay everyone I need some help! I am looking into getting a headphone set. The problem it needs the option to be wired and wireless so I can use it with my switch and my iPhone! Any suggestions?

  18. So that Resetera thread that I was following closely for HOURS closed a couple hours ago, with about 634 pages in the end. Crazy stuff. New memes were created which will hopefully spread soon (there were some incredible quality things produced in a very short amount of time). After all of this literal insanity, I can’t help but laugh at how completely opposite this is from last year and 2016. It was “oh, it’s October 26 but we wanted to let you know that on January 12 of NEXT YEAR we’ll be formally announcing the Switch and its games!” Now, it’s basically the day of a rumored Direct in 2018 around the same time as 2017 and we don’t even have a reveal yet, but people STILL believe it’s going to happen tomorrow/today?!?! The world really has gone insane. However, if you weren’t following, the social media stunt (maybe?!?!) pulled today was incredible and unprecedented for Nintendo. I hope the legend of the Weiner Mii and Chibi Robo on fire will live on, and I really hope they actually do something worthwhile from the wake of today’s events.
