Thanks to Nala Valor for giving us permission to continue Pokémon X/Y topics here :)

Originally the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire thread, this is now the place to discuss just about everything Pokémon! That being said, I should mention what is and isn't allowed here to keep things organized:


And of course, everything still has to follow LoE's forum rules (http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=2470.0). Anyway, I think that just about covers everything for now, but if I missed something, I'll add it later. Now... on to discussions!

Note: Just like earlier, the games are sorted by importance (main, spin-off, or free-to-play spin-off) then by their release dates. Also, X & Y don't have their own section because there's no more giveaways for them other than those from Battle Competitions unless stated otherwise.

If, for some reason, you never got the demo, it's available without needing a download code now.

<Last update: January 30, 2015>
Spoiler: Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Super-Secret Base guidelines and QR Codes (click to show/hide) • show
Some things I should point out:
[list][li]You're free to design your Base however you like, but please don't be mean and completely block off your Trainer (Base owner) location/Flag. Making it look like they're blocked but there's still a way to interact with them is fine.[/li]
[li]Adding to the above, don't force others to recruit you just so they can gain access to your Flag.[/li]
[li]The first three Pokémon on your team at the time of the QR Code creation will be the team that shows up for others. As for your Base Pals (if any), they're given preset teams depending on their Trainer type.[/li]
[li]If your computer doesn't have a SD card slot or you don't have an adapter, you can go to your Pokémon Global Link account (http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/) to grab your Base's QR Code there (you MUST have used Game Sync beforehand). If you haven't set up your account/connected your game yet, go ahead and do so now.[/li]
[li]When you scan a Code, you won't be able to battle anyone in that Base and get the Flag until the next day. Streetpassing/Passing By others, on the other hand, will allow you to battle with them and get their Flag immediately.[/li]
[li]If you update your Base, PLEASE tell me so I can put a notification beside your name. (Also, and obviously, you'll need to post the updated QR Code as well.)[/li]
[li](Optional) Placing a Comfortable Bed in your Base will allow you and others to heal your Pokémon (though after each battle you're automatically healed anyway).[/li]
[li](Optional) There's an item called Proclamation where you can change the battle rules for your Base.[/li]
[li](Recommended) There's a post-story item called Level Release which can remove the level limit placed on your whole Base's Pokémon. Get it if you really want to set a challenge.[/li]
[li](Recommended) Connecting to PSS twice a day (once around morning, once around evening) will get others' Bases to show up in your game. Be careful though, as whatever layout yours has might update on their side (i.e. they scanned a QR Code for your Base > you change the layout later > both of you connect to PSS > your Base on their game might have the new layout instead).[/li]
[li]
Spoiler: Spoiler (click to show/hide) • show
(Optional) Switching your Base Pals with those you Streetpassed/Passed By can possibly net you more Flags; the amount given is the same they picked up beforehand.

Spoiler: Off-site Blissey Bases (click to show/hide) • show
Notes: All of these Bases are at Secret Meadow; you find it after Diving up at a certain water Route. All Trainers have Level 50 (100 if you turn on the Level Release item) Blissey with only Healing Wish, and they all hold Toxic Orb. Battle format is Triple Battle (which unfortunately makes Healing Wish useless), but at the very least you don't have to worry about them hurting your Pokémon.

Disclaimer: I claim no responsibility if you actually fight any of them, especially if you have underleveled Pokémon. Blissey gives the most EXP out of all the current Pokémon (roughly 1/3 more than Audino and even Chansey, which are next).

I'm curious and a bit excited: I fondly remember the original Ruby and Sapphire from when I was younger.  Some of my Pokemon currently in X are from those games (nothing I use on a team, stuff like the Legendaries).  I've been hoping for this remake since X and Y were released...however this "trailer" and the info surrounding it are dubious at best.  I want to see more about this, but I'm withholding judgement until I have more intel.

Gonna admit. I'm going to get that Ruby again, but honestly I really hope this one's story is fine tuned some. Out of all the games, Ruby and Sapphire were pretty much my least favorite.

Then again, that could -possibly- be some residual bitterness since that was the first and only generation where your Pokemon couldn't be traded from the previous generations.

Those poor 251... forever stuck back in GBC limbo, while the rest of my lil guys have moved on...

The question is... which one to get?

I didn't have the money for both X and Y and I don't think I'll have the money for both of these.

I don't know which one to get!!

Since they would both have all 700 something odd pokemon as a capability to hold, and I'm sure the new 2 will be in 3d as well, I would advise something simple: Look up to see if there are any known download events planned, when the time comes to purchase one. Usually it's the newest game that gets the download events, but since the Ruby/Sapphire are a "remake", they may get the short end of the stick.
X and Y would definitely have more of the "newer, so more than likely rarer" legendaries. Since there haven't been as many games with them for people to collect from. My two cents, at least. If nothing else, you could always wait a bit to see if they announce if it actually is a remake, or a sequel to those games, then go from there. At that point they would reveal at least a good chunk of the features, then you could decide which game has the features you desire more. :)

If what they did with Fire Red and Leaf Green (Blue equivalent) is any indications they're probably gonna add loads of extra stuff. And it'll be with them fancy 3DDDS GFX. Wooooo so shiny and expensive! :P

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

Following its reveal yesterday, there has been some question as to the actual content of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as to whether they're remakes or new versions due to the wording of the announcement. During the Investor Briefing today, Satoru Iwata confirmed that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are full-remakes of the 2002 releases, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. We'll bring more on these games as it comes

I guess that answers that.

Having played every generation except the current one (3DS too expensive for me to buy on my own, no more parents to ask for money >.< ) I really think the only thing that these remakes will do is introduce the 3rd generation to a new generation of kids.

I hope they vastly expand the map (not necessarily add new places). The current gen makes narrow routes seem like antiquated gaming history. Wouldn't it be fun to explore an ACTUAL desert instead of a some# X somebigger# square-ish area?

Emerald wasn't much of a sequel, honestly. It just changed the storyline a bit, not continue where Ruby/Sapphire left off.

Speaking of which, they're probably gonna put Emerald elements in these remakes like bringing back Battle Frontier or something (kinda like how HeartGold/SoulSilver had Crystal elements in it). /deja vu

Let's not forget those dreadful moments in clearing the pokemon contest. Last time I couldn't clear smart and cute contest categories, but I don't like to be going through that in legit way except cool, beauty, and tough contest categories.

The Contests didn't bother me, actually; I managed to get everything from them.

That being said, I wonder how they'll be brought back (and if Feebas will need Dry (Beauty) PokéBlocks again to evolve).

So now I can finally say it for real...


HOENN REMAKES CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!



Anyway, yeah, super excited! I want Alpha Sapphire, and my brother wants Omega Ruby!
And this was the generation that had Mudkip as a starter, so I'll have my favorite Pokémon!
And Secret Bases are the ABSOLUTE PERFECT thing for StreetPass to be used for, am I right?
And I sincerely hope they bring back things from X and Y like outfits and Pokémon Amie. Actually, they HAVE to bring back Pokémon Amie because of Sylveon. I will be SO angry if they turn Sylveon into another freakin' "give it an item and trade it" evolver, because I really don't like those, because of not having anyone to trade with.
But on that note, my brother's getting it too, so that won't be a problem, will it?
And yeah, outfits, the guy in Ruby and Sapphire always has the weirdest hat, so I do hope to be able to change it! And I hope haircuts come back too! I eventually got to making my character look a lot like me in X, hope to be able to do the same here. I also liked giving him blonde hair and wearing an outfit to look like a Pokémon trainer version of Link!
Contests, didn't really do them in Emerald when I played it, but I loved them in Diamond! I hope they return! When there were Pokémon Musicals in B&W, I was excited, thinking they'd be more like Contests, and was pretty disappointed at what it was like.
And if they actually go so far as to remake Diamond and Pearl someday, I hope to see the Underground return! It was the best thing ever!

I eventually got to making my character look a lot like me in X, hope to be able to do the same here. I also liked giving him blonde hair and wearing an outfit to look like a Pokémon trainer version of Link!
Contests, didn't really do them in Emerald when I played it, but I loved them in Diamond! I hope they return! When there were Pokémon Musicals in B&W, I was excited, thinking they'd be more like Contests, and was pretty disappointed at what it was like.
And if they actually go so far as to remake Diamond and Pearl someday, I hope to see the Underground return! It was the best thing ever!

Bro, Blaziken is the obvious choice. ;)
I don't really know about who's the best choice in terms of stats, but as for the obvious choice in terms of awesomeness and cutness and favoritism it's Swampert for me, because reasons.

It has been confirmed through a trailer on TV that Japanese variety show, Pokémon Get☆TV is to showcase world exclusive first footage of the upcoming games Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire this weekend in the episode airing on Sunday May 11th at 07:30 JST.

YAY, FOOTAGE! :D (I think that's 4:30 PM for anyone in central USA / GMT -6. I don't know about other regions, sorry >.<)

Yeah, my brother and I were just talking about it today.
Maybe the Red and Blue Orbs are the mega stone. To
Mega evolve a pokemon you have to have a strong bond
with that pokemon and the stone. Well, in Sapphire you
got the Red Orb and in Ruby you got the Blue Orb.
So maybe the Orbs are their mega stones but we could
never use them because we never got the orb for that
legendary of that version.

Post by: Rikaria on 2014 May 10, 06:47:52
Wasn't it the other way around? Because I'm pretty sure you get the opposite one depending on which team you're going against (Team Magma got the Blue Orb for Groudon, Team Aqua got the Red Orb for Kyogre).

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon - Trademarks

A new trademark has been discovered as being registered by Nintendo, GameFreak and Creatures Inc. in Japan. This trademark is for デルタエメラルド Delta Emerald. In addition to this, in the US, at the same time as the Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire domains were registered, one was registered for Pokémon Delta Emerald. This trademark registration is not likely to be indicative of a game release, but rather covering bases in a similar manner to the registration of Pokémon Water Blue back in 2004 and numerous other Pokémon names over the past 10 years including Pokémon Grey. We'll bring more as it comes


Also, this video brings up an interesting point (assuming Delta Emerald won't actually be a game):

Please keep in mind that Mega Evolutions would mean rebalancing. If EVERY Pokémon started getting them, this would make things that much more frustrating for Trainers. (And, again, I'm pretty sure there are fans who'd hate that.)

Personally, I'd rather see only a few more in OR/AS get added (other than the Eon duo): the other two starters + some other Pokémon we'd LEAST expect, not every region starter getting one.

Or they can just not use the Mega Evolutions. Some people assume that because something exists in a game they have to use it, but that's not neccisarily true. They think "Oh I hate this game now because they added this" so if this happened and those fans thought that, just tell them what I said.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire- CoroCoro Reveals

The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming games. This reveals Mega Sceptile, Swampert and Diancie. Mega Sceptile is Grass/Dragon-type while the others maintain their type. Mega Diancie's ability is currently listed as ??? while Mega Sceptile has Lightning Rod and Mega Swampert has the ability Swift Swim. Groudon & Kyogre's new "Mega Evolutions" are known as Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Groudon & Primal/Prehistoric/Primeval Kyogre and are said to be a regression called Ancient Devolution. Steven Stone returns and also appears to have a Mega Charizard X and is after the secret for Mega Evolution
Both the Mach and Acro Bike make a return in this game and Team Aqua & Team Magma both return as well. Team Magma is lead once again by Maxie, and his Admins: Tabitha & Courtney. Team Aqua is lead by Archie and his admins Matt and Shelley, all of whom have been redesigned. Like the originals the team you face varies depending upon the game. The Mega Evolution activating item in this game is the Mega Bangle.

I'm just wondering exactly what stats are going to be increased by these Mega Evolutions.  My Swampert Aquanaut already hits like a tank, and I can only guess that his attack will go up even higher!  I'm not sure how much I like the design, but it'll probably grow on me.

Sceptile's new typing and ability looks to make it a real serious problem for electric types.  That's a quad resistance underneath that Lightning Rod!

See, that's the problem: Lightningrod completely negates Electric attacks and boosts the owner's Special Attack, so Mega Sceptile's 4x resistance to it is completely useless... Furthermore, it's now 4x weak to Ice attacks...

Ah, I forgot about that change.  I don't keep up with updated abilities, since I only play single player.  And that quad weakness is a pain, but Swampert's always had a quad weakness to Grass; it's why I have Ice Punch on mine for a bit of defense.

Further details have been revealed about the Pokémon, Mega Sableye. It is confirmed that Mega Sableye retains its Dark/Ghost-type, but rather than keep any of the abilities, it gets the ability Magic Bounce. It has increased Defense and Special Attack stats, but decreased Speed. During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed.

Guess that answers that.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

It has been confirmed that Secret Bases have returned to Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, now known as Super-Secret Bases. As before, Secret Bases are created by using the move Secret Power on various parts of the Hoenn region including on walls and in trees. You can even set battle rules in your Secret Base. Players will be able to share their Secret Base with other Trainers around the world using StreetPass functionality, or they can create a QR Code for their unique Secret Base, enabling friends to visit it with ease. When visiting other Secret Bases, players can meet other Trainers in the same base and invite them back to their own Secret Base as Secret Pals. Players can interact and battle with Secret Pals, who have special skills that can support players in their adventures, such as sharing new Decorations, making a Pokémon Egg hatch faster, or raising the level of a select Pokémon by one. The more Secret Pals players have in their Secret Base, the more special skills will be available to help them in their adventures. Players can also capture flags while visiting other players' Secret Bases. Flags are located beside the Secret PC in each Secret Base. The more flags a player collects, the higher the rank earned, which brings rewards like improving the skills of a player's Secret Pals. A new character called Aarune has been revealed for this, and he is the Secret Base Expert. He currently resides in Hoenn, but is a world traveler, and has a Flygon

Secret Bases pics can be found here (http://serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/pics.shtml) (scroll down to July 8th 2014).

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Details

The Pokémon Company International has sent out a release detailing more about the news that has come this past week. In this release, it shows footage of Mega Metagross confirmed to have Tough Claws, as well as the reveal of the Pikachu appearences: Pikachu Belle, Pikachu Rock Star, Pikachu Pop Star, Pikachu Ph. D, Pikachu Libre.
Edit @ 15:15: More details on Mega Evolutions. Mega Diancie receives a big boost to its Speed, as well as boosts to its Attack and Sp. Atk, while experiencing a reduction in its Defense and Sp. Def. Mega Metagross also has a greatly increased Speed stat, with additional increases in its Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def, making Mega Metagross primed for both offense and defense.
Edit @ 15:30: Following amiguity with the Canadian release date last month, where it was listed solely as November, we now have confirmation that the games will arrive in Canada on November 21st

In all honesty...

It was probably only a matter of time before Metagross got a Mega Evolution regardless.

Better sooner than later. I guess?

They don't have plans on adding new (pre)evolutions. That would probably be saved for Gen VII (if it ever comes to be).

Something's bothering me: will we be able to save different Super Secret Base layouts/teams and have multiple QR codes, or will we only be allowed one per game/system? If it's the former, I have a great idea for one of my teams that people can fight against (though I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one who thought of it), but if it's the latter... I don't think I'll be getting both games anytime around the release.

Meanwhile, more news!

As we started seeing art for Maxie and Archie I was more receptive to the idea of Megas Camerupt and Sharpedo.  Gallade caught me by surprise, but that cape...I want one!  Funny thing is I was already setting up to breed a Gallade to match my Gardevoir.  Here's hoping my breeding plan still works with his Mega Evo!

As for the new upgraded weather...I suppose it's fitting that we get stronger weather conditions out of the two original weather 'mon.  I wonder if the new conditions affect any other types, like melting Ice moves or something like that.

It has a new ability called Delta Stream which creates a new weather effect that removes weather and makes moves of a type that Flying-type Pokémon are usually weak to will only deal normal damage to any Flying-type Pokémon in the battle.

- Edit @ 16:16: The reason why Mega Rayquaza is a Mega Evolution and not a Primal Reversion is to be explained in the story. It will also Mega Evolve through a way different to other Pokémon
- Edit @ 16:45: The official site posted some of the lore behind Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre and Mega Rayquaza:

"It was a primal age, early in the world's history... The natural world was overflowing with energy. That energy granted Groudon and Kyogre an overwhelming power. Seeking ever more of that energy for themselves, the two clashed again and again, and their battles cast the people and Pokémon of Hoenn into great danger. Brimming with the overwhelming power granted by the energy of nature, this transformation was named by later people "Primal Reversion." And the people called their tormentors Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.

One Pokémon looked down upon this battle from the sky above. The Pokémon that dances in the heavens: Rayquaza. Rayquaza is venerated by the people of Hoenn as their protector and savior. When Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had battled for 20 dawns and 20 nights, the world began to lose its natural balance and tilt toward destruction. The people, unable to endure any more, cried out to their mighty savior Rayquaza before a great stone that shone with rainbow brilliance. And a change came upon Rayquaza, weaving in the sky above Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Suffused in brilliant light, its body began to transform visibly. And then..."

Quote from: SerebiiThe next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the upcoming game Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. While pictures have yet to be posted, the information that has come out is set to reveal Mega Latios, Mega Latias as well as two brand new Megas, Mega Pidgeot and Beedrill. Images of these specific parts of CoroCoro are yet to come, so it's technically unconfirmed, but the leakers have shown other parts of CoroCoro giving credence to this. We'll bring more, and pics, as they come so keep checking back.
- Edit @ 09:45: Mega Pidgeot is Normal/Flying-type with the ability No Guard and Mega Beedrill is Bug/Poison-type with the ability Adaptability. You can fly on Mega Latios & Latias in the overworld and find Pokémon such as Reshiram, Zekrom, Dialga & Palkia in the sky. Latios is exclusive to Omega Ruby and Latias is exclusive to Alpha Sapphire.
- Edit @ 10:00: The Eon Ticket is said to return through a special distribution. This makes Latias available in Omega Ruby and Latios available in Alpha Sapphire.
- Edit @ 10:15: This ticket will be distributed via Serial Code in an upcoming issue
- Edit @ 10:04: The Legendary Pokémon are found on islands that can only be found through areas on the sky and is said to make it so all non-event Legendary Pokémon will be obtainable in Generation VI. You access the sky through the Eon Flute item
- Edit @ 10:14: You can also encounter various other Pokémon in the wild within the clouds over Hoenn.
- Edit @ 01:45: Two more images have surfaced. One showcasing the first Mega Rayquaza, showcasing all the information we got on it last week. The second introduces the new PokéNav called the MultiNavi. It has four settings: MapNavi, TVNavi, PlayNavi which includes features like Pokémon Amie and the GTS and DexNavi which helps you find Pokémon in the wild and register them in your Pokédex. You can sneak up on Pokémon, or you can register Pokémon that you encounter in the overworld into your Pokédex. We'll bring more as it comes.

I agree that Pidgeot deserves a Mega Evolution, but it just looks kinda...boring.   It didn't change much during evolution, and now it's not doing much with a Mega.  Still, it's probably worth messing around with.

On the other hand, I really like Mega Beedrill's design.  Something about it's normal look always bugged me, but this new look seems to fix it: maybe it's the eyes, I dunno.

And finally, flying around on the back of a Latios...excuse me while I die and go to heaven!  :3

Kinda a bit off-topic: you already could do that in the third Pokémon Ranger game. In fact, I wonder if that's where they got the idea from, because you also could find wild Pokémon in the air on that game.

Kinda a bit off-topic: you already could do that in the third Pokémon Ranger game. In fact, I wonder if that's where they got the idea from, because you also could find wild Pokémon in the air on that game.


You know, that's the only Ranger game I ever played.  I can't believe I forgot about that bit of the story...I guess it's something about how it's a "mainstream" game.  X3

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Trailer & English Details

- The Pokémon Company has uploaded a new trailer which showcases all of the new information and Mega Evolutions from the past week. The US demo will come through the October Trainer Club News Letter.
- The DexNav in the PokéNav Plus has a search level as you find Pokémon. As this Level increases, you can find Pokémon with Hidden Abilities & Rare moves. You can even mark Pokémon in the area that you have seen and haven't seen.
- In the AreaNav, there is also tracking of Pokémon locations, as well as the return of the Trainer's Eyes and the ability to keep track of Secret Bases and Berries.
- Buzz Nav has information such as television shows, and you can even receive information for it with StreetPass.
- The PlayNav retains all features of the PSS, Super Training and Pokémon-Amie.
- Interview at USGamer confirms that Trainer Customisation is not in this game.
- It has also been confirmed in an interview with NTower that, although X & Y are compatible with Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, X & Y will not receive a patch to include the new Mega Evolutions and Primal Reversions.


Quote- The first details from the Pokémon ORAS demo have come in and have revealed Mega Steelix which gets the Sand Force ability.
- Mega Glalie is also in the demo. It is pure Ice-type and gets the Refrigerate ability.

Quote from: Serebii- The official Japanese site has announced that, while you can get the Eon Ticket for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire through an event, if you do receive the Eon Ticket, you have the capability of sharing it through StreetPass, akin to how you could share it by mixing records in the original. You will never lose your Eon Ticket, however.
- Edit @ 09:05: The Pokémon Company has announced the Eon Ticket Relay for the UK. This will begin with Junichi Masuda giving the Eon Ticket out at the launch event on Saturday November 29th. From there, 15 winners will be sent to various GAME stores to spread the Eon Ticket through StreetPass. More details are to be released on November 13th
- Edit @ 16:14: It has also been announced that in the US, Serial Codes for the Eon Ticket will be given to Play! Pokémon Organisers and heads of StreetPass groups from November 21st. From there, the Eon Ticket can be StreetPassed to other players

I really have to question there decision on how they mark the game down as it droped in the ratings for the reasons of "To Much Water"

Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

It's probably because they expected the rest of the HMs (the ones that aren't Fly) to have a Soar equivalent.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Post by: Stardust Dragon on 2014 Nov 20, 17:10:39
What bugs me about this whole HM debacle is that OR/AS are, explicitly, remakes of an older game.  Sure they update and include some new features that have changed the overall experience of the series, the Pokemon Aime, for instance, but if they had changed the whole latter segment of the game to feature less water, then it would be detracting from the original work instead of adding it. Playing through HG/SS I was never reminded of something that they took out of the original Gold/Silver (except the slot corner, but that was a regional change); while it did get on my nerves from time to time, lacking the ocean routes (on an ISLAND region, by the way) would kill my nostalgia for the original Ruby/Sapphire.

Plus a suggestion for you, IGN: HM Slave.  Even when I respect my Pokemon, I still employ at least one...or is using your PC box too complicated?
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Post by: LostSanity on 2014 Nov 20, 17:52:23
So... I'm going to go ahead and start praying that the Exp. Share is the same as it was in X/Y now...

Because if it's not... or back to the old Exp. Share... this game will be harder than Persona 3 FES "The Answer." Just saying.

Grinding is a pain. IMO I guess.

Please?

Speaking of which, Linoone is actually a pretty great Pokémon, HM slave or not. It gets STAB (same type attack boost) from Cut and Strength, too. And although the Pickup Ability is level-based compared to the original Ruby/Sapphire (not Emerald, as that was when the change to that Ability was first introduced), it can help out with getting free items along your journey. If EXP Share ends up being the same as X/Y, you don't even need to have it actively battle, netting you even better items later on.

Anyway, to everyone who has it now: you'll need to update your games in order to play online. I'll post the QR code for it on the first post, but you can still find it yourself in the eShop by searching for "update".

EDIT: Cheap PP-restoring trick for those who can't be bothered going to Pokémon Centers while training/EV training (especially Horde Battles), though this only works if it's the same Move as a TM (HMs are excluded for obvious reasons):

1. Use up a Move till it runs out of PP.
2. Swap that Move with any TM that Pokémon can learn.
3. Make that Pokémon relearn the original Move via TM.
4. Check back to see that the Move has all PP restored.

Please keep in mind that you'll lose any PP Ups/Maxes used for the Moves you do this on, so only do this if it's one that hasn't been raised yet. Also, this works regardless of PP differences. For example, say one Move has 15 PP and you swap it out with a 10 PP one then swap it back to the 15. No matter how many times you do this, the PP will be fully restored.

don't you guys hate it when people put blocks the PC and you can't get their flag? that's pretty much rude of them because if they're blocking their flags, then it's impossible to get their flags to increase the rank.

Don't ask for it in a trade too. I've seen other people have it, and begged for it in a trade with a ridiculous offer.

I'm starting to hate how people block the way to the PC and flag, but not just themselves also they block with objects as well.

Secret Base Tip: never ever block the way to the PC, flag, and yourself with objects.

The only way it'll "stop" is if everyone who had the Ticket restarted their game all at once when the places who actually gave them away stopped distributing them. Otherwise, it literally goes on forever via Streetpassing.

[quote=Serebii]Each day, during the daytime (06:00 to 20:00), if you go under this bridge at the north part of Route 119, you will be able to fish nothing but Feebas. During the night time and in any other place on the route, Feebas has a 5% chance of appearing.

Chaining isn't that bad now, actually. Just the fact that they either disappear or move faster the further the chain is is what's upsetting. Anyway, added your base to the first post.

When you guys share your secret base QR codes, please be sure to tell us the location and the spot of your base so we can delete some of these random people with the same spots as we can scan your QR code. To give out further information, all you have to do is go to your areanav and then go to base(s) and then the one with the house icon is your base so it should tell you the information where your secret base is. if you have a secret base in secret meadow and shore, you can just tell the us the number.

Except all of those on my game are taken up by Blissey teams lol
Spoiler: More specifically... • show
They (the Blissey) all only have one move: Healing Wish. The Bases also have the level unlocker item (which removes the cap placed on Super-Secret Base teams) that you can get post-Delta, making leveling your Pokémon tons faster than Pokémon League Round 2.

EDIT: Updated my QR codes for (possibly) the last time due to Flag count. Most of them are at one spot now. Two particular designs will probably annoy you, so I made two other codes where it was less tedious to get around.

That makes the most sense considering that's what you need to switch to to update your game with the latest info (other Trainers' stories and Super-Secret Bases and Mirage Spots included).

Spoiler: EDIT: Updated details concerning finding Feebas • show
[quote=Serebii]Feebas has always been an odd Pokémon. It has always been rather rare to find and is always seen as a mirror of Magikarp. In the original Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire games, Feebas was incredibly hard to find. To get it, you had to fish in one of up to 6 special tiles in Route 119's waters. These tiles were calculated based upon your ID number as well as the trendy saying you set at Dewford Town. This time, however, things are different.

Now, Feebas has a 5% chance of appearing with any rod in Route 119. This makes Feebas a lot easier to find, but still has a rare aspect to it, but there's something more. There's an easier way to find Feebas. During the daytime, if you go to this bridge under Route 119 and fish underneath it, you will have a 100% chance of finding Feebas. Alternatively, at night time if you fish around this rock in the south of the route, you will also get a 100% chance of finding it. This allows for you to easily chain fish it, or just generally capture it. From there, you can also find it in the waters by searching for it with the DexNav.

Day:

Night:

I was doing the same on pikachu, but it's a lot of walking as well. DexNav shiny chaining doesn't work for fishing. I've seen 1 person got the shiny feebas without it.

I was wondering where I can make money fast cuz There isn't much moneymaking in ORAS compared to X/Y's battle chateau and restaurants. Usually I do single battle mauville food court for nuggets and Master rank Contests for comet shards.

If you guys get (or have) a shiny pokemon, Try doing all the master rank contest on them. It doesn't lose the shiny sparkle effect, but it gives Extra Appearance look when you have the contest star ribbon.

Using the DexNav for chain fishing wasn't something that video said, anyway.

QuoteI was wondering where I can make money fast cuz There isn't much moneymaking in ORAS compared to X/Y's battle chateau and restaurants. Usually I do single battle mauville food court for nuggets and Master rank Contests for comet shards.

Amulet Coin/Luck Incense + Prize Money O-Power (whatever's your highest) + Happy Hour (only certain Pokémon can learn/have this Move) against the Pokémon League beats out Mauville's Food Court and the prizes you get from Contest fans.

EDIT: Updated all my QR Codes. Two of them are completely new layouts.

EDIT 2:
Quote from: SerebiiIt has been announced that there will be several special distributions of the Unova Starters in Japan. These distributions are unique in that they offer these starters with their Hidden Abilities. They will be distributed through Serial Code. On December 28th, a code for Serperior with Contrary will be given on Pokémon Get☆TV and can be redeemed from January 9th to November 30th. This Serperior has the moves Leaf Storm, Hold Back, Wring Out & Giga Drain.
On January 11th 2015, a Emboar with Reckless will also get a code from Pokémon Get☆TV, which can be redeemed from January 16th to November 30th. It has the moves Flare Blitz, Hold Back, Head Smash & Take Down.
Finally, on January 15th 2015, the new issue of CoroCoro will have a serial code for Samurott with its Hidden Ability of Shell Armor and can be redeemed from January 16th to November 30th. It has the moves Razor Shell, Hold Back, Confide & Hydro Pump.

05:13: Another event distribution has also been announced. In Shibuya in Japan, a special Pokémon Café is opening from January 9th to February 28th. Inside, you can receive a special distribution of a Pikachu. This Pikachu comes with the moves Play Nice, Charm, Nuzzle & Sweet Kiss and holds the Sweet Heart item.

To anyone who manages to get the Hidden Ability Pokémon, please spread the love and breed them so we can get them, too!

So I just found out that Lisia (the girl with an Altaria who gives you a Contest Pass in Slateport City) is related to Wallace.

To see this scene for yourself, beat Lisia in any Master Rank Contest once she's available. After that, Wallace has a small chance of showing up in Master Rank Contests from then on. Beat him (Lisia probably shows up as well; I haven't tested this enough) then watch the following scene.

If he doesn't show up, you probably need to at least reach post-story.

  • 1) Two systems of the 3DS family (3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS) to do local trading between your games

  • 2) One system of the 3DS family using Pokémon Bank to transfer Pokémon between your games (you CAN'T transfer held items this way, however)

  • 3) A friend who's willing to trade multiple times (your X/Y Pokémon to their Gen 6 game (X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire), then their game to your Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and so on)

  • 4) Using the GTS (very risky since someone else might get your Pokémon, but you'll be able to transfer held items this way)

Well I used to have original ruby, but not anymore. If you're looking for beginner's tips, all you need is a flyer (mostly talonflame if you're planning to save a slot), and HM slave aside from surf, waterfall, and dive. If you're looking for a good mobility while surfing, i may suggest sharpedo for that, but you won't be able to fish while riding on sharpedo.

anyway the problem with the #3 method is that you wanna have a friend who you can trust on instead of someone or a friend who lie and attempts to scam you. method 4, yeah it's very risky. I would just avoid that if i were you because there's a chance that you won't be able to find your pokemon that way.

Few thing I'd like to say about this game (Mostly good stuff, but I'm sorta a critique on stuff.)
1. It is a remake, but why did they not have the clothing customization?
2. Why are the pokemon centers suddenly being separated from the pokemarts?
3. KYOGRE!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. So sad that Hoenn now only has 1 Mythical Pokemon.
5. KYUREM!!!
6. KELDEO!!!! Wait, Keldeo isn't that exciting.
7. Why do people dis Rayquaza's mega evolution?  >:/
8. Wish there was Dream Link, that was always fun.
9. Best remake.
10. When I said every legendary, I weren't counting Mythical Pokemon, Mythical Pokemon are event pokes, and don't count to completing the Pokedex.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Jan 05, 21:02:04
Well The answers are

1. the original version never had a clothing customization

2. That's how the original version started out with. The Pokemon centers and pokemart were always separate from the start of their original version.

and 3. I have no idea. I never used mega rayquaza myself.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Post by: cloudwilk on 2015 Jan 05, 22:52:02
I think they should've kept the poke center and poke mart separated but clothing customization should've stayed rather than be a gen quirk. (Just like two genders stayed and megas.)

This really is the best remake XD I usually don't care for the remakes.. (though I did like the pokemon following feature in soul silver) but this was fun XD

Character customization was something unique only to Kalos (X/Y); one of the Game Freak developers (or more than one of them) even stated that in an interview. Either way, I don't really mind that it's not in OR/AS; the Super-Secret Bases already keep me occupied enough when it comes to customization *points to all the QR Codes I have under my spoiler on the first post*

Kinda doubt there's gonna be a Delta Emerald (even if Game Freak does have it trademarked for copyright purposes), but we'll see...

If anything, Pokémon Z will probably come out first (Zygarde really needs a buff of some sort since it apparently has the lowest Base Stats out of all Legendaries so far; if that's wrong, then it has the lowest out of the Kalos Legendaries).

EDIT: Contrary Serperior is now officially out in Japan!

Mostly ready. I have a few 5 IV Pokémon now, but they're not Snivy (the Pokémon in question is Whismur, which I'll be using for future breeding giveaways). I will hopefully have them ready by tomorrow at the earliest, but no promises.

Quote from: GlassMirror on 2015 Jan 09, 18:06:39
what do you mean by contrary?? o.O

Contrary is an Ability where moves used by the owner that would normally lower its stats will instead be raised, and vice versa. In the case of Snivy/Servine/Serperior, it's their Hidden Ability that was previously unobtainable till now (thanks to a Japan-only distribution). Why it's such a big deal is because for those three Leaf Storm would originally lower Snivy/Servine/Serperior's Special Attack by two levels; in the case of Contrary, it RAISES Special Attack by two levels, making Leaf Storm a massive threat. That being said, Snivy/Servine/Serperior isn't invincible.

Apparently using modest nature with choice specs or weakness policy (if hit with a weakness) will make leaf storm OP'd.

Funny you should mention that: I actually am breeding Modest Snivy. Getting those items you mentioned, on the other hand... well... I'm not a fan of Battle Maison, so I use the Battle Institute (in Mauville City) to get my BP (even if I don't do well).

EDIT: Ugh... Why does the female ratio for Snivy have to be so horrible... That's the ONLY thing that's keeping me from breeding lots of 4-6 IV Snivy... Hold that thought! So many hours later, I finally have a 5 IV male AND female Contrary Snivy! :D

I'm taking breeding requests for them now. Please remember that I'll only give you one if you actually want it. Also, you can only have one regardless of the gender (this took up a lot of time, y'know x.x). That being said, if you want a female, you'll have to give me more time to prepare one. All the ones I'll be giving have 4-5 perfect IVs.

I already (literally) have every single Pokémon aside from the two unreleased Legendaries, so you can just trade me anything (even if it's a low-leveled Pokémon).

It seems that my brother's japanese AS doesn't have access to PSS. After I saw his progress, he doesn't have his dex and DexNav so probably he's at oldale town right now. I can probably get the reckless emboar on his japanese AS, transfer it over to my X/Y, breed it, and hatch as i can after I ask for his permission to get to petalburg city to get access to PSS.

As for the female starters, you gotta be really lucky to get one. I got a female snivy by luck when I hatched the egg in B/W2 and transferred it over to X/Y without realizing it was a female.

Are you still able to trade with X and Y?  I haven't gotten very far in Alpha Sapphire just yet...I also haven't given out my 3DS friend code yet, but I can fix that as well.  I'm dying for a Contrary Snivy; I wouldn't even care about nature or IVs, since I'm kinda nuts about breeding myself.  I don't even play competitively, but...it's a Contrary Snivy!  That's awesome!  And massive props at being willing to breed multiple of them.

You can trade with X/Y, but several things will be restricted. The Following items can't be transferred over are new mega evo stones (except blazikenite), and the orbs. The following moves that can't be transferred over are Dragon Ascent, Origin Pulse, and Precipice Blades also these restrictions will apply as you battle against someone with X/Y.

If you're not that far in AS just yet, you only need to get to petalburg city to get access to PSS after you help wally get his 1st pokemon.

Well I've actually made it to Slateport City in AS now. About ready to get to Mauville, grab a bike, then go alllll the way back to Dewford and catch the Aron I was looking to add to my team.  I expected to grab one just after Brawly, but someone decided to put the only place they're found on top of a mudslide hill.  Bother.

In other Pokemon news, I'm looking for someone who understands the time machine breeding method well enough to answer a question. I get that if you set it up right, you can figure out what IVs will pass down from parent to child, but at that point are the gender/shiny value locked?  Or is it possible for it to change between resets?  I'd like to breed a shiny female Riolu (yeah I know the gender ratio makes it worse, but I'm crazy for details) and considered trying the time machine method.  Is this a bad idea?
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Jan 14, 08:33:33
Not sure if I fully get what you're saying, but all I know is that once the person outside has an Egg for you/you pick up an Egg, stuff about it is locked.

Time Traveling doesn't work for egg hatching. It only affects the secret bases, and the berries. Shinies are randomized so don't expect to get what you want that easily.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Post by: Stardust Dragon on 2015 Jan 14, 17:31:01
I guess I was asking if anyone knew how much was locked down when the next egg is calculated; everything I've read so far only talks about which IVs will be taken from which parent, and obviously nature if you're using an Everstone.  But it's not worth my time to try and figure out right now, so I think I'll go about it the old fashioned way and hope for some good RNG with the Masuda method.  I mean, how bad can the odds of a 1/512 ratio lining up with a 1/8 ratio be?

...No one answer that, please.  :c

"A password could be found in the 「ポケモンカードゲームBW(ビーダブリュー)「はじめてセット」 Pokémon Card Game BW Starter Set that allows players of Pokémon Black and White to obtain one of the Sinnoh starter Pokémon."

Usually ditto is an exception, but Some people use 6IV ditto (which is hacked of course what my friend told me) for breeding purposes. of course you won't get the IVs you want since they may just troll you by giving the worst stat.

why do i get the feeling that we're talking 2 different versions? (which is X/Y and ORAS of course. maybe we should've just merged all the pokemon games topic into 1 pokemon games topic)

I started with Whismur (seeing as it's involved in tons of breeding), but since Whismur can't be found in Friend Safaris, I caught Loudred instead. The same Friend Safari in question also had Aipom and Eevee which can also breed with the Whismur, Snivy, Oshawott, and Tepig families, so getting 5 perfect IVs actually didn't take that long (another thing: I also previously had DexNav Eevee with 3 perfect IVs, speeding up the process even more). What DID take long was... well... getting both Snivy (now Serperior) parents to have 4-5 perfect IVs, so yeah. Now I have to repeat the process with Oshawott and Tepig ><

At the very least you can use the same parents to start, since all three starters are in the Field egg group?  X3

It seems to me that the X/Y thread is kind of dying out on its own really.  There hasn't been a post in months, and the last few were Rikaria's anyways.  I like the idea of a centralized Pokemon thread, but I think chatting with whoever started the X/Y thread might be a good idea before declaring "this is the thread for all things Pokemon EVAR!" >:O

To be honest, I can't really use the exact same parents since the ones I used were specifically for a Modest Pokémon (perfect IVs in all stats except Attack), and I'm trying to breed for Adamant now for both (which will now need perfect IVs in all stats except Special Attack).

To Kirby: I do realize the Oshawott you gave me was Modest, but I think it's better if it had a Physical moveset instead. If there are those who disagree with me (including you), I'm sorry, but you'll just need to breed for a Modest (or even Jolly) Nature yourself x.x

Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Jan 17, 19:22:54
well my last oshawott didn't have a modest nature. the attack and sp. atk stats are completely close so it doesn't matter if you want to make it a physical or special attacker. My only syncers were adamant espeon and modest gardevoir.

I'll admit I was overwhelmed by all the things breeding entails, but now that I look back at it after all these years, it's actually not that bad. If anything, I learned about each specific part of breeding separately each game set:


Of course, getting into IV breeding is mainly for competitive reasons, but if you're like me and would prefer to have a more ideal Pokémon even if you're not a competitive player, this is the way to go.
Title: Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

Ugh... Though I had luck getting female Contrary Snivy, I'm having worse luck with getting female Shell Armor Oshawott... Oh, the breeding life...

EDIT: Nala Valor, the Pokémon X/Y thread creator, has given us permission (PM'd them about it) to allow X/Y topics to be continued here :) This will now be the centralized Pokémon thread; I've updated the first post as well.

EDIT 2: I don't know if this is considered lucky or not (well... it probably is regardless), but anyway... So I have a female Shell Armor Oshawott who only has 4 perfect IVs, and it was holding a Destiny Knot (remember: it randomly selects 5 IVs from each parent during breeding). I also have a male Shell Armor Oshawott who has 5 perfect IVs (the one that wasn't perfect was Special Attack), and it was holding a Power Band (passes down the Special Defense IV of the parent who's holding it). After horus of breeding today (and only today), I managed to get both a male and female Shell Armor Oshawott... WITH 6 PERFECT IVS! What annoyed me though is that I never even managed to get a female with 5 IVs WITH the right Nature (the two with 6 IVs are a Rash male and Bold female), and I think if I tried breeding with the 6 IV ones, I'll just get bad offspring... So conflicted ><

EDIT 3: Shell Armor Oshawott and Thick Fat (later becomes Reckless) Tepig are now ready to be given away! As before, your options are (for both): 5 IV male or 4 IV female, but not both genders for one particular Pokémon since I didn't have enough room for more.


1: You're not kidding about gender ratios.  I managed to pop out a Shiny Riolu earlier this week, but it was a male and my (overly)-specific needs want it to be female.  Then trying to better my breeding stock for a Bulbasaur I wanted didn't give me a single female Chlorophyll that was better than my current parent.  At least that one eventually worked out.

2: Awesome luck with that item!  I didn't even know that's something that could happen in a Secret Base.  Clearly I need to actually start playing AS more...

3: May I request a Shell Armor Oshawott?  4 IV Female is preferred, but again I can breed one myself given a male.  Whatever you can spare.

Honestly I can't decide, I never really cared for the 5th gen starters besides Serperior. I used them every now and again, I like them some more, but I never chose someone I like more.
If you don't mind, I'd really like a male Oshawott.

What was weird is that it was available to North America BEFORE any sort of announcement.

Well whatever... GO GET IT NOW :D

EDIT: How it differs from the Contrary Snivy I gave away is that it has Hold Back (basically an event version of False Swipe) and comes in a Cherish Ball. I don't know if the gender is fixed though, but if you get a male, just breed him with Ditto.

Natures affect which stats get boosted and dropped  by 10% (if any; there are five "neutral" Natures as well).  It may seem minor early on, but at Lv 100 (especially if you do EV training), there's a significant difference. It's not important for the story, but if you ever decide to do stuff like Battle Maison, you'll really need to keep Natures in mind.

I think it's been a long time that we haven't talked about pokemon mystery dungeon. The series was pretty good to me even though I like explorers better. Gates to Infinity was pretty much tough in terms of the difficulty. I hope we get gen6 pokemon Mystery Dungeon someday.

Time/Darkness/Sky will forever be the most emotional set of Mystery Dungeon games for me, both story- and music-wise. Gates to Infinity lacked in the story side in my opinion, but it had some nice music.

I really hope there will be a Wii U version at one point, especially considering the fact that Japan had WiiWare ones that never came over here (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Mystery_Dungeon_%28WiiWare%29). Actually, I wouldn't mind if they just ported those instead (translated, of course).

I never played Time/Darkness/Sky, but I've watched someone Let's Play it.  Not as impacting if the characters aren't yours.

I did however play through Mystery Dungeon Blue, and that one hit me like a ton of bricks.  I agree that the story for T/D/S was better, but I can't discount Red/Blue's music and the emotional impact it left on my childhood.

Yeah, I started off with Blue I think the same year it came out in the US.  Gathered quite a few games since then, at least one a "set".  I distinctly remember getting my dad to drive us quite a long way to get to the 10 year anniversary tour where I picked up my first Celebi...and that was in 2006!  Technically by that point I'd been a trainer only 8 years, but still...old.

For sure a yay, nice catch!  Ho-oh's one of those Pokémon with the lowest possible catch rate, so it's going to be a trick catching it with anything short of a Master Ball.  I've seen a few lucky guys (read: nutcases) going after Legendaries with really weak balls or at nearly full health and catch them: responses are generally in the realm of disbelief and super excitement at something that crazy working out.

My Platinum cartridge arrived yesterday after my dad mailed it to my dorm room; now I can try and get a Tropius to learn Twister so I can breed it onto the special-attack based Snivy I'm working on.  Problem is I sold all of my shards and need to find 6 red, 2 greens to pay the the tutor.  To the underground I go, I guess!

I'm usually up-to-date about most things, so anything you see on the first post of this thread is usually accurate.

To actually answer your question: the serial codes for all three of the Hidden Ability Gen 5 "starters" will last until November 30, 2015. Also, Samurott's code won't be distributed till Pokémon.com's February newsletter, but I'm pretty sure it'll be the same code as Japan's. Either way, I don't think it's live at the moment.

EDIT: Out of complete boredom, I updated all of my QR Codes.

Hey, Rikaria, I have a question about breeding.
I'm helping a friend fix up a team, I'm starting with getting him a better Zangoose. Manectric and Zangoose are in the same egg group. Could I use the Manectric that I have that has perfect IV's to breed with a female Zangoose to get perfect IV's on a Zangoose offspring?

Yes, though if the Zangoose doesn't have perfect IVs in any stat, it'll require chain breeding (i.e. you start with a 0 IV Zangoose -> breed till you get a 1-2 IV female -> replace the original Zangoose with that one, etc.) unless you're REALLY lucky the first time or so.

Destiny Knot picks 5 IVs from BOTH parents, hence why the Zangoose parent you wanna use needs to have perfect IVs as well or else you'll be doing tons of breeding (again, unless you're really lucky).

I'm hoping they can make some changes to the skills in pokemon mystery dungeon like the stair sensor and deep breathing (PP restore) since both of them are not 100% chance of executing the skill.

Some pokemon games can't be released outside of japan, but we have to see what fate pokken holds for us.

Well, I'd considered rebreeding Volvagia (my Typhlosion) with better IVs anyways.  Better give him his HA as well!

From the official Pokémon news site.  I think we get all three, but only one set per Bank account.  For instance, I can't get one for my X and one for my AS games, because they're using the same bank.  I may be interpreting them wrong, however...

It also revealed that the movie will feature lots of Legendary Pokémon including Lugia, Palkia, Giratina, Dialga, Kyurem and Arceus. In addition to that, it reveals that the Shiny Rayquaza will also be distributed through CoroCoro. You can get it even if you got the one at the World Hobby Fair. Details of this distribution will be announced later.

Also, Pokémon Shuffle will be available on February 18, 2015 on the eShop FOR FREE. Go download Pokémon Shuffle now! Also, as a game launch special, Mew will only be available for three weeks, so be sure to catch it ASAP. You'll gain access to its stage after you get far enough in the game then are able to connect to the internet where you can "check in".

Quote from: SerebiiIf you participated in the Battle of Hoenn Battle Competition last month, the entry gift is now available to redeem in all regions. The gift is a Level 10 Tyrunt with its Hidden Ability of Sturdy, which was previously unavailable before today. To get this event, you need to go to the special page that pops up on the Global Link and, if you are eligible for the Tyrunt, you will receive a serial code that can be redeemed in Mystery Gift on Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. The code works until April 30th 2015.

One of my friends from another forum got one. I'm just waiting for them to breed it.

Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Feb 21, 09:53:28
There's honestly no point in grinding at the moment. I just went with whatever was considered the best matchup each time, because the later Pokémon are more powerful than the ones you "train" early on.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Feb 21, 16:28:16
I don't even know how much exp they yield so far. That's one of the questions i'd like to know and of course the grinding may matter in terms of how tough the pokemon is besides I normally use the highest level pokemon to defeat the pokemon faster. What I know about the levels is that the base power increases by 2 per level.

Sturdy Tyrunt received \o/ Just need to breed it now.

Please keep in mind that due to lack of time, I won't specifically be breeding for females (female Tyrunt have a 12.5% rate). If I end up getting more aside from the parent, I'll give those away. And as far as perfect IVs are concerned, the least each Egg will have will be three (again, due to lack of time). However, to make up for that, they'll have both Dragon Dance and Ice Fang (both of which are Egg-only moves).

Finally I got through mega mawile. Maybe Grinding may be the answer in getting past the mega pokemon in pokemon shuffle. Risk-Taker ability is the only ability that's based on luck I believe, but I don't even like the ability as well because it decreases the damage dealt to the enemy. Probably My progress is slowing down due to grinding, fails, and waiting every 2hrs and 30mins to get 5 hearts.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha - Shiny Arceus Event

In Japan, the special pre-order promotion for the movie has begun and with the purchase of the tickets comes a serial code to allow for the download of Arceus. This is the only distribution of Arceus so far in Generation VI with the Generation VI native mark. At first, it was announced that there are 18 different Arceus being distributed at random, but a 19th version has been received by players. This Arceus is a special Shiny Arceus, marking the first time Arceus has legitimately been available as a Shiny since its reveal and release in 2009. The Arceus players receive when they redeem the code is completely random, with an equal chance between all 19 possibilities.

I wonder if we'll ever get something like this...

Well that event is out of the way due to my brother's trip to japan reasons. I wish it was on wi-fi or on code so I can get it off him again.

It's kind of strange that we stopped talking about pokemon shuffle these days, but I know how slow this thread is going so far and there's not much of a matchmaking, trades, or friend safari seekers out there.

The only latest news is not only shiny arceus event, but also the HA johto starters distribution right now.

Shuffle isn't really worth talking about after a certain point; like for me, I'm practically endgame now (just need to catch two "Main" side Pokémon + two "Expert" ones). Granted, I'm sure there's a secret or two after I catch said Pokémon.

Anyway, puzzle games in general don't really have much going for them.

I hope on the next pokemon mystery dungeon game, they should let us do friend rescues by password and wi-fi instead of doing them DS-to-DS cuz doing friend rescues like that makes the game boring except grinding, treasure hunt, and do missions.

I'm surprised by several low-percent catches I've made so far, but missed a few high-catch rates...man I'm thrown off by this game's mechanics.

well expert lucario has umbreon added while mega lucario has lucario themselves in to the puzzle play so probably level grinding matters for better score although the time makes the difference while you're fighting against lucario and mega lucario.

Mega mawile is a pain even though I had to use mega start and disruption delay to do the job, but I had charizard and lucario in as well.

I was trying out the Expert stages in an effort to catch either Charizard or Lucario as well...but its tricky for me to react that fast, and I start panicking.  I've failed at catching either even when I do beat those stages, but I got lucky on Mega Mawile after using a gem to get 5 extra moves...and barely beating it on the last move via a lucky drop from the skies. My plan is to try and push forward as fast as I can and get the strongest psychic, fairy, or flying types I can in 4 or so days and hope for the best.

Speaking of hope, I hope the Rotom event comes around again.  I've managed to catch all of the special motor forms, save Frost Rotom, which I missed because I didn't know what I was doing.  I'd hate to have lost it forever; I'm that guy who likes having a complete Pokedex... >.<

And then there's those main-series games I'm still way behind on.  Don't worry AS, I'll get back to that third badge...eventually.  X3
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Mar 21, 10:47:32
Using extra 5 moves won't let you get any extra points and catch rate after completing the stages. It's best to use your coins for extra 5 moves, but when it comes to against the mega evo pokemon, then you wanna use mega start, complexity (if you have the coins), and disruption delay.

Expert stages is easy to do so think of those stages like it was pokemon puzzle league and challenge and you have to keep going as well.

mew, kyogre, and competing for lucarionite is drawing to an end soon so it's best to get them while you have the chance. we're not even sure if there's a 2nd chance in getting them. if there are no 2nd chances, they're gone for good.

Nice job on that Lucarionite.  My reactions just aren't quick enough to get me in range...I think I was in the top 44k or something, it wasn't great.  I was trying to do it without any buffs though, which came in handy when I decided to use my free Complexity - against that Mega Glalie I was smashing my face into for the last half-week.  And thank Arceus it worked, even though I only got a B rank on it. Progress!  :3

Tried out Keldeo once for the heck of it and got pretty handily beat.  I'm gonna have to get some new electric or grass types...thinking of shooting for Mega Ampharos before really seriously trying against the legendary.  Anyone had luck with it yet?

I had (Mega) Ampharos, Raikou, Zapdos, and Sceptile when I went against Keldeo. Beat it but failed to catch it the first time (zero moves left), but seeing as it was one of my favorite Pokémon (see starred note below), I ended up using Attack Power Up, (the free) Disruption Delay, and Mega Start during the next attempt. I ended up catching it at 75% without using a Great Ball. And the funny thing is: Attack Power Up and Mega Start costed exactly 5,000 Coins... Guess how much you get for beating Keldeo the first time :P (P.S. It's a great training stage for when you need to raise Grass and Electric types, even if you fail.)

★Other than for obvious reasons *cough*pony*cough*, I really liked Keldeo in Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice but absolutely loved it in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity; I properly raised two of them in the main games as proof (Black (1)/White 2 then transferred to Y/Omega Ruby).

I'm aiming to catch Ampharos right now, but I'm kind of lacking in Ground types: Donphan is the strongest I've got.  I'm using (Mega) Slowbro because of it's barrier break to chip away at the field faster, but I still take up pretty much all my moves before I beat it.

As for the rest...ugh, expert stages.  Gotta get those reflexes going somehow, I guess.

Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread

Not really sure if I should feel accomplished or not. I finally caught Mewtwo (Expert stage), but I used Complexity -1, Disruption Delay, and Mega Start to do so (no Great Ball needed).

My only complaint is that its Mega Evolution's skill is pretty bad in my opinion; it clears out up to 10 Psychic-type Pokémon on the field, selected at random (I can see why participants of the Mega Lucario competition preferred Mega Slowbro instead). On a slightly better note, its non-Mega skill (when triggered) swaps out any disruptions with one of your Pokémon.

It's kind of disappointing when the mega pokemon has the same effect as the other like mega lucario has the same effect as mega lopunny, but It's a good thing that lucario has its use against yveltal in the expert stage thx to lucarionite we got.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Amaura Event

If you participated in the Enter the Dragon Type Battle Competition, the entry gift is now available to redeem in all regions. The gift is a Level 10 Amaura with its Hidden Ability of Snow Warning, which was previously unavailable before. To get this event, you need to go to the special page that pops up on the Global Link and, if you are eligible for the Amaura, you will receive a serial code that can be redeemed in Mystery Gift on Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. The code works until May 31, 2015.

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Shiny Charizard Event

For those of you in the UK, the Shiny Charizard event has begun. This event is distributed through Serial Code obtained in GAME stores with codes being unavailable after April 19, 2015. The code will be redeemable until July 2, 2015. This shiny Charizard mirrors the one that came in Japan last year and comes with the move Hold Hands as well as the Charizardite Y. Do note that you need to have updated your game to the latest version to be able to download it.

So what do you think?

My thoughts below:

Spoiler: show
Just watched the video. I don't watch the Pokemon anime subbed so I can't comment on Mega Evolution Act III until it airs dubbed.

But if that's really what happened in Mega Evolution Act III (which I'll just assume it did until it airs dubbed) then it's possible.

E3 reveal perhaps?


We're pretty much going to have to play the waiting game again...

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Shuffle - Events

A brand new challenge has begun on Pokémon Shuffle. This challenge is a timed one and has the top 10,000 players in Europe, 20,000 players in North America and 50,000 players in Japan earn a Blastoisinite for their Mega Blastoise. If you don't rank in the top amounts, you will earn a Jewel. It runs from today, April 6th 2015 to April 13th at 05:00 UTC. This challenge requires downloading the new patch, Version 1.1.8.

At least this time it'll seem more fair since at the moment Grass and Electric Pokémon don't have an Ability similar to, say, Dancing Dragons (boosts the power of Dragon types in the same combo when triggered).
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Apr 06, 13:23:45
let's just hope that we don't get outranked this time around.

as for the ability, they should've created an ability that Increases damage of electric-type moves in a Combo since paralyze ability does have a chance of procing the ability. Dancing Dragons wouldn't do much for ampharos if there are no dragon types to use.

I don't even know how the invite thing works... I tried using it, but I ended up getting three random people. And you HAVE to save them on the field to get a Diamond (AKA if they take too much damage and run away, say goodbye to that opportunity).

Anyway, I updated/rearranged the first post.

Now that you mention it, it does act like ORAS' secret base (and bravely default's invitation). I think it's the only way we can get more diamonds that way, but it's only once a day we have to do.

Pokémon Rumble World is actually really easy; you move around and attack with A or B (depending on what moves the Pokémon have), and dodging doesn't happen all that often. I'm sure it'll get harder later, but for now it's literally just button spamming unless you set your options to auto-attack.

I may have to agree, but the difficulty of the game increases as you progress just like original pokemon rumble for the wiiware and rumble blast for the 3DS.

No reason to be sorry.  Although to be pedantic, these are all official Pokemon games. 

I'm kinda avoiding Rumble World myself, since I really don't need something else bogging me down for daily attention.  I'm still annoyed with myself for grabbing Shuffle...

The balloon cooldown may vary as you use these balloons, but yeah, it takes a long time for them to be ready. It's not that bad though unless you're gonna use this time to dismiss some of the low powered pokemon.

I'm stuck trying to work on the special Mega Blastoise event in Shuffle...I'm in the mid-24ks rankwise and trying to catch Raikou to try and give me a little more raw numbers, but it's being too elusive.  I was willing to let the Lucarionite slide because it was clear I wasn't up to snuff yet, but now I'm so close that it's not easy for me to say no to.

Except I still need the early balloons which have a cooldown of like 30 mins per (there's always that one Pokémon that I can never seem to catch, and making them Wobble is really annoying). I know the later ones go up in hours, but...

The ranked matchup in "Special".  I can't get a high enough score to put me in the top 20k players.

Or if you're referring to Raikou, it was a mixture of both time and catching it afterwards.  I did shell out some coins to catch it last night, but it hasn't helped me much yet...I didn't know that the special stage didn't offer any EXP, but I guess it's understandable.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Apr 10, 13:11:34
Well if you wanna be in the top20k players, you gotta grind some more of the recommended pokemon. They have to be at least level 5 or higher for more damage and higher scores also you need to use complexity and disruption delay to help you there.

As for pokemon rumble world, there's a way to make them wobble. If you attack the pokemon from behind, it'll be a lot easier for you to capture them, but you have to kill the wobbling pokemon fast before the wobble state wears off. Any moves that has high critical ratio should make the pokemon wobble. That's one thing I learned from pokemon rumble blast.

I feel they are making more and more new Pokémon a little too op. At first it was okay, but I feel like every legendary after Arceus is starting to become rather dull and not as fun as the older legendaries, like, what does Volcanion even do? Most of them seem to be created just so they can make movies where they look stronger than all other Pokémons. Oh well, I hope the new gens (if there will be any) got a more sturctured story and Pokémons that will be fun.

And more main stages I can't get to because Mewtwo.  Also I wasn't able to beat the cap for Mega Blastoise...got in the 27k range, but I just wasn't fast enough to get any better.  Oh well, maybe next time, with stronger 'mon. 

I got a super lucky chain my first attempt at Groudon, cleared out most of the middle 3 rows in one go because of how the pattern was falling.  I replicated it once, but already forgot how I did it  X3 oops.

If you leveled your pokemon, this wouldn't be a problem for you. That's how we and other people got higher scores and more points in that process. Like I said, the pokemon has to be at least level 5 or higher. If competing for blastoisinite, then you need ampharos, sceptile, zapdos, and raikou as recommended. if competing for lucarionite, then you need slowbro, xerneas, togekiess, and other fairy, flying, or psychic type to help you there.

another thing is that if you have enough coins for complexity and disruption delay, then you should be able to get more points and a higher score. I was ranked 7040, but was still good on the rankings though.

The rest of the wacky workshop stages are pretty much a pain right now even mega aerodactyl as well so I had to use mega start and disruption delay for that.

oh yeah, one of the youtubers was doing some videos on pokemon shuffle and rumble world, but during the 1st part of the rumble world playthrough, he bought like around 1750 poke diamonds for $16.

I don't blame him. Ranking up takes so long with limited Balloons, and even then the Balloons themselves get up there in price. Some of the Trees you can plant also get expensive later.
Spoiler: show
On the upside, once you reach the 3,000 Diamonds limit, you get a building that digs up 20 Diamonds a day.

I just wonder what Nintendo/Game Freak will do once you've collected everything. Surely they'll add something... right?

I may have to agree even without the fever mode. Back in Pokemon Rumble Blast (before 6th gen and mega evo pokemon), It just got a lot easier with all those areas and releasing pokemon and getting evolved pokemon by releasing them.

I just hope we can get pokemon mystery dungeon with 6th gen and mega evo pokemon someday.

They should give people a 2nd chance in getting lucarionite and blastoisinite since the competition stages is only made for people who has a lot of coins, but probably they need to make a normal stage for them in pokemon shuffle.

oh speaking of pokemon shuffle, you can get an S-Rank easily in stage 177. After you acquired (or captured) banette, just go back to that stage and use gengar, banette, and a dark or ghost type as your support pokemon and then after that just let the combos go by fast. you'll finish the stage in about 0-3 moves. my highest score is 37597 with a combo of 106. Stage 177 is the fastest way to grind your ghost and dark types as long as you have the pokemon i mentioned, but of course this will make banette get more exp in the process.

As for pokemon world, things have gotten tougher for me because obviously i'm starting to hate the roulette so far and it's hard to get some pokemon with limited floors.

I feel as though the Mega Stones are going to come around again, this was just that "preorder" bonus that always comes out as paid DLC later on.  At least that's what I'm hoping.  X3

I finally gave up and used some coins to get past Shuffle's Mega Mewtwo, so I'm starting to catch up on new stages now.  I'll just try and level up some guys before the next competition and get better with the expert stages, so I can have a better reflex reaction.  TRAINING!  ovO

EDIT 2:
Quote from: SerebiiPokémon - Nintendo Dream Interview

In the latest issue of the Japanese magazine, Nintendo Dream, Ken Sugimori was asked about the lack of the much-requested Mega Evolution, Mega Flygon. In it, he stated that while they had worked on concepts for Mega Flygon in Pokémon X & Y and again in Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, they could never get a good design to come together for it.

By the way, if you're a n3DS/n3DS XL user, the latest system update fixes the occasional locking-up on Pokémon Rumble World. Speaking of which, here's a very helpful tip that I've noticed: if a Pokémon (even boss ones) is all sparkly (not shiny like the main games) and you defeat them, it's a guaranteed capture. I have no idea how often this happens or if Ranks/Trees matter, though.

EDIT 3: Patches for X/Y (1.5) and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (1.4) are now out.

yeah, but like I said not many of us are that rich as well. I only use timing stop when necessary and have enough poke diamonds to do the job, but as for the other stuff, I only buy the extras for upgrades. I do agree how bad they set up the poke diamond earnings right now though. I only get about 1 poke diamond for each 5 mii visits and get one randomly from rescuing the miis. They should've made the poke diamonds farm more easily and fast without paying them with our money just like Getting coins in pokemon shuffle.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Apr 23, 17:56:08
Actually, getting Coins on Shuffle is nowhere near as bad. The free Jewels you get from beating Mega Pokémon the first time + those given from events (even if you didn't win a competition) can easily give you enough to buy the highest amount of Coins in the shop, which I did... and very slightly regret it since I've been keeping my Coin range to around 60-70k.

Anyway, to correct something you said: I'm not rich; that was only because I had the money at the time. I probably won't ever be buying Diamonds on Rumble World again.

For Shuffle: The only way you'd be behind is if competitions were happening. Otherwise, event Pokémon that you've missed will probably come back around sometime later.

For Rumble World: As far as I know there aren't any limited-time events, so there's no rush here.

Another minor update: we can now go against Mega Banette on Shuffle (which is unusually early for any event). As before, it's a competition to place high enough to get its Mega Stone.  You get a Jewel regardless for participating.

Oh, and today's the last day to redeem the 2 Mega Start items. Again, the Passcode is: 20150007

Mega Banette, you say?  You mean something weak to the dark types I've been trying desperately to raise?  :/

I shouldn't get my hopes up yet though, I've still got lots of issues with the expert stages, so I probably won't place super high in a competition.

Not only dark types, but also ghost types as well. Been leveling my banette in pokemon shuffle like crazy.

Like I said they have to be at least level 5 or higher in order to get through the stages including EX.

Speaking of pokemon shuffle, someone I know said that level 10 is the max level for the pokemon, but Exp wise, well he may be saying that ampharos is the only stage that can let you grind your pokemon fast. It's probably based on the moves, but not moves +5 which it doesn't affect the exp I believe.

A new event has been announced for the US. From June 22nd to July 12th you can go to Gamestop to get a serial code to receive a special Dragonite. It knows the move Dragon Dance, Outrage, Hurricane and Extremespeed, which is a difficult move to get on Dragonite, and has its Hidden Ability of Multiscale and holds a Lum Berry, all to coincide with today's release of the Roaring Skies TCG set. We'll bring more as it comes.

Actually, I think that info might be wrong. Nintendo Everything is saying it's also available for X/Y as well.

But even disregarding that Dragonite, it's understanable that there aren't any more X/Y distributions outside competitions, as Game Freak/Nintendo usually favored the newest games.

Good grief, Pinsir is being really stubborn on Shuffle... Even at 33% (66% with Great Ball) which is the max you can catch it at (possible if you can get a high-enough Combo within one Move), it still breaks out...

Mind you, after today there are only two more days you can catch it before the event is over for now.

I resorted to using Complexity -1... three times (Great Ball each attempt included) ._.

Well... I still have over 40k Coins left over, so I guess it wasn't a total waste.

EDIT 3: 1.1.13 is out! Though you can no longer face Celebi, more Daily Pokémon are available. Also, the Mega Lucario competition returns but with some changes:
  • It's now Move-based instead of Time-based.

  • You need to be in the top 15,000 in Europe, 30,000 in North America, or 65,000 in Japan (it was less than this last time).

  • To those who already have a Lucarionite, you'll get two Jewels instead if you place. (Everyone else, regardless of placement, will still get one.)



Curse you Regirock...
It was the hardest thing to capture thus far.

Also, this competition is quite different. I only played it until I got a score above 9000.

Maybe my score will be beat. Maybe not. I hope my score doesn't stay within the top 30,000.

Currently (at the time of this post), getting above 9000 points gets you near the top 5000.

I'm mostly in it for the free jewel. I'd be surprised if I'm still in the top 30000 when this competition ends.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 May 18, 22:29:44
I already have the Lucarionite, so it's the two Jewels for me. Catching some event Pokémon takes a toll on my Coins (I'm looking at you, Pinsir), so I need some backup just in case.

Rumble World, like Shuffle, is fine to play in short bursts (even moreso with the cooldown timers), because the gameplay is highly repetitive... even moreso compared to the main games.

They probably changed the complexity since the disruptions are pretty much hard to clear and it takes about 7 or more moves to clear the blocks unless you're using a pokemon that can use block bash. They should've added barriers as well, but hopefully later on we can still get a mega evo pokemon that can clear barriers just like mega aerodactyl's effect which is clearing 10 blocks.

i think you gotta be more specific with your trade information although I do get a feeling that a shiny eevee is not gonna be easy to get off from trade. What I know so far is that most people just get these shiny pokemon for a battle ready (BR) pokemon that's it.

what your trade information needs is that not only a shiny pokemon, but also the starting level you want, stats, moves, gender, nature, and IVs.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 May 25, 19:04:16
Or... y'know... they're probably just asking for a shiny Eevee...

Anyway, if someone's Friend Safari has them, you can try your luck in catching one there, as the shiny rate has been reduced to 1/512 (that's eight times more likely from the original rate).

A note: having all three Pokémon available in a Normal-type Safari is required, as Eevee only shows up in the third slot, but even then you're not guaranteed it.

Sorry I got a bug type safari containing volbeat, pinsir, and paras. You may wanna go through the pokemon communities and ask for normal safari with eevee in it. Like I said if it's a shiny pokemon, nature, IV, and egg moves you want, then you need to get one off from a trade.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Shuffle - Version 1.2.0
  • This patch version required a redownload of the game software after attempting to Check In or it could be downloaded through the Nintendo 3DS eShop.

  • It added an extra note for the Hearts to allow for 5 hearts to appear and regenerate in addition to the amount you have over the usual amount of 5 meaning that you have 5 regenerating hearts in addition to any extra.

  • The Level and Experience of Pokémon also appear when you optimise them on the stage selection.

  • There's now a random extra capture feature called Super Catch Mode with a massively increased chance.

  • Each Mega Evolution now has a number by their Mega Effect which can be boosted.

  • You can see a Pokémon's details immediately after capture.

  • Increased cheat detection

  • Home Menu blocked during Time-Based stages

Patch it to 1.2.1 via Check In afterwards; it fixes some bugs. Something else Serebii missed: for the current session, the game now remembers the last Pokémon you were focused on/battled against on both the Main Stage and Extra Stage select screens (try swapping between them after scrolling).

A huge warning to those attempting to redownload the game: in System Settings, be sure you back up your save data and delete JUST the game, NOT both!

Kinda relevant to the recent changes, particularly involving the Hearts split (yes, I was bored):

Here's the first look at Super Mystery Dungeon:

Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Naura on 2015 May 31, 09:42:12
Okay, it looks AMAZING, now to my thought of the trailer.
I see tons of legendaries, the story better be long and good, and not just try to fit them all in and making it seem like "Oooh look, tons of rare things you should buy this game even if the story is horseapples!" No! They must make them all fit the parts!
And that spinny part at 0:33 better be after the questions, I'll be mad if you can just choose! Also, sad that it seems like Pikachu and Riolu will be the only non-starter pokémons you'l be able to be/obtain as a friend.I think Eevee/Shinx/Meowth/Vulpix deserved that one spot better then Riolu.
The town looks exciting, wonder in what way you'll live in/near to it, I really liked the idea of Wiggly Guild from PMD Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky.
Wish I knew Japanese so I could make out more of what is going on. Atleast glad over that you get all starters!

So, until we get more info, I wanna start a discussion:

We've seen Mega Evolution in Shuffle and Rumble World, and it'd be weird if it wasn't included in some way for Super Mystery Dungeon. My question is: how do you think they'll implement it for... well... Super Mystery Dungeon?

I will keep my thoughts to myself for the time being.

Well We all know that mega evo stones are hold items, but they're automatically taken off if the pokemon member is on stand by.

oh btw bulbapedia predicted that ORAS demo would end at may 31st, but It seems they're predicting the date ahead of time. Normally nintendo and the pokemon company decides when to take the ORAS demo off from the eShop. here's the info that I picked it up (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Omega_Ruby_and_Pok%C3%A9mon_Alpha_Sapphire_Special_Demo_Version)

Team attacks not only does damage, but it has secondary effect based on the leading pokemon's type. I normally use Team Attack when necessary such as monster houses and boss fights, but when it comes to having moves that can target the whole room, they're good to have without using team attack so the power of the moves may vary on the upgraded move, the user's sp atk stat, and opponent's sp. def stat and defending type.

What type of Pokeball do you want the Swanna in?

I would think that is why you ask for a female HA Swanna.

The female was mainly to make my own breeding easier, since I was going to fiddle around with names, natures and hopefully shininess (I'm crazy I know, but the character I want to reference makes better use of Swanna's shiny coloring).  I hadn't considered a type of Poke Ball, but if you're seriously offering may I request a Quick or a Great Ball?

I ask this because breeding a female without a ditto can transfer the Pokeball to their offspring.

EDIT:
Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Shuffle - Events

A brand new challenge has begun on Pokémon Shuffle. This challenge provides you access to the Pokémon Giratina. It runs from today, June 8th 2015 to June 22nd at 06:00 UTC. This event is an Escalation Battle which has increase in difficulty and rewards as you beat it more, and also makes it easier to catch Giratina the higher the stage's level. At Level 5 you get 1,000 coins, Level 10 a Disruption Delay, Level 30 a Mega Start and Level 50 a Mega Speedup. You need to download the new patch, Version 1.2.2 to obtain it. To celebrate, they are also distributing a Mega Speedup item.
___

The latest update to Pokémon Shuffle has come and includes 10 new Main Stages and 3 Expert Stages.
___

The second wave of Daily Events has begun again. Over the next two weeks, the Pokémon that were released a couple of months ago, specifically Specifically Pachirisu, Sigilyph, Tropius, Farfetch'd, and Druddigon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday respectively. This is the perfect opportunity to get these Pokémon if they were missed before.

And yes, Mega Speedup is the candy that we give Pokémon with Mega Evolutions.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Jun 08, 14:45:28
Yeah. I noticed the mega speedup. If I'm right, they have to be earned in certain ways, but if it's one of those micro-transactions, then probably it's the price that we have to pay.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Jun 08, 15:54:31
At the moment, it seems Mega Speedups are only via events. The only two so far are via just Checking In as part of a celebration and defeating Level 50 Giratina.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Jun 08, 17:24:20
Giratina gets tougher as you level it higher and it's the same difficulty as you progress through the main stages. Probably the origin form is gonna be the same.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Jun 08, 22:03:59
Pretty sure it's not the same difficulty, because I was able to beat it in a few moves very early on, but starting near (or before) 20, it takes me 10+. Then there's the fact that disruptions start interfering, changing the higher up you are. As Serebii pointed out in an earlier post of theirs, one of the higher-up ones involves FOUR FULL ROWS of frozen blocks. So yeah... getting to 50 will be fun :l

EDIT: Apparently according to Serebii, we get another Mega Speedup at Level 100 (http://serebii.net/shuffle/events.shtml), but that's not all. According to one player, 100 isn't the last (https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAAAtVHhmuKQwvA).
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Jun 08, 23:35:52
Wow, Tyranitar Stage is just too insane for using multiple disruptions. The chains are pretty hard to get through in terms of the blocks and disruptions. Stabilize, Quake, and Vitality (VIT) Drain aren't helping me at all so I may be thinking that proc chances for quake and VIT drain are pretty much low to me.

An extended trailer for Super Mystery Dungeon has been released. Here's the video:



Questions make a return to determine not only which Pokémon you play as but also your partner this time (according to Serebii).

Being honest: I hated the questions. The fact that they're forced for both you AND your partner now... ugh... (You were somewhat able to pick your partner in Red/Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky after the questions.)
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Naura on 2015 Jun 09, 10:01:26
I love the questions, cause none of my friends bother to look up what questions you need to answer what on to become a special pokémon, so I was the only one who got the one they wanted. Plus answering questions made me feel like the game was more important, and really talking to me, I was the special person X3 But I also remember not liking it because it would make it sound like a whole spices of pokémons had the exact same personality, which made me a little stricter when it came to pokémon role playing, which is probably why I quitted with it, thank god I ain't as strict anymore.
Though I really don't like that you need to ask questions for partner pokémon, I can see that get annoying. When you finally answered the right questions that would give you enough points for that one pokémon you wanted to become yourself, and THEN getting the complete wrong ones for your partner, and having to start over again, trying 10 more times. :c

I agree that the personality quiz is annoying because obviously they just randomly pick out the pokemon based on the nature just like R/B rescue teams and explorers of T/D/S. I just like picking out the starter and partner pokemon better than having the personality quiz pick out the starting pokemon based on the nature.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread

Only the questions are random. The answers you give actually have "Nature points" attached to them, and as I said, each Pokémon are attached to certain Natures.

I have a HA vulpix on my X/Y/ORAS, but i always put it on modest nature. IVs may vary though.

As for pokemon shuffle, getting to level 100 on giratina can be too much of a risk and work, but mostly i'm pretty sure it's the risky part.

I mainly want a drought Vulpix or Ninetales and I don't really trust the GTS for legit pokemon. I'd also like to breed them for IV's though which would take more than one. If you or kirby could help that would be cool. I don't really have much to offer in return though.

If I may ask, why attack IV? if you wanted a drought vulpix & ninetales, then you should go with sp. atk IV along with modest or timid natures. My Friend has one and told me the recommended natures. If you're making a physical Ninetales, then you need adamant or Jolly natures.

besides Ninetales is made for sp. atk in terms of the movepools. if with drought, you can use solarbeam on ninetales.

Well, mega evolutions will be interesting, how long will they last, and what do you have to reach to be able to preform one?
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread

Well We can't jump into conclusions just yet. If mega evolutions are available, then you have to reach certain point of the game where you can mega evolve, but for pokemon mystery dungeon mega evolution, yeah it will be the same I believe although I'm not sure how the pokemon will mega evolve. I'm pretty sure it will be on the tactics or on the pokemon's menu when you want to mega evolve, but who knows.

Oh, thanks for telling me that, was a little confused that you could just choose partner no matter what the answers were.
I like the little last question, that change the partners personality one more step (cute or cool). Might not mean much to others, but this is a big step for me X3
Others, I can't really say much, I could go into way more detail with stuff we saw, but I don't have the time or motivation to do so, but this video makes me a little more excited, like every other thing I see about the game.
I also found the box art, and I really like it! Except that Charizard is in the middle, he/she is really overrated

I remember when I played the original Rescue Team Blue I got Charmander three times in a row for my personality, but I really didn't want to be Charmander for whatever reason... (he's always been my least favorite gen 1 starter, weirdly).  I finally either fudged an answer or got the right combo that let me be Mudkip instead, which I think I took as a consolation prize at the time.  But I came to love being him...except one time in Sky Pilliar when my partner Pikachu was confused in a narrow hallway.  I'd been trying to put some distance between us to avoid a confused Thunderbolt wiping me out, only for him to shoot a Shock Wave right down the hall. Instant KO  >.<

I'm getting mixed reports saying that you actually are able to choose who you wanna be and who your partner is despite the questions (AKA the questions help you choose who you really would be and who you'd be partnered with based on your answers, but you can choose not to go with the game), but seeing as we only saw E3 footage, it makes me think they used a tech demo just to avoid spoilers.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what's actually true later.

  • Modest Kyogre with a Ground-type Hidden Power; MUST come from Alpha Sapphire, even if it's not yours

  • Brave Kyogre (disregard the Hidden Power type); MUST come from Alpha Sapphire, even if it's not yours

To check a Pokémon's Hidden Power type, go to:
  • (X/Y) Anistar City: Talk to the Psychic in the house at the absolute south-east of the city.

  • (OR/AS) Fortree City: In the second house from the left on the top row, you will find a house with three old women; talk to the one on the right.

P.S. I still don't trust GTS :l


I can hardly blame you for not trusting GTS: I've gotten burned more than once by a bad trade.  There's reasons I'm very careful with what I'm giving up...in that, and in Wonder trades.

I'm way behind in my AS playthrough...if you don't get lucky with a trade by the time I get to Kyogre I'll try and aim for one of these for you.  But at my current pace it's probably better to take an offer that comes along.

I can try to help, but my gardevoir's level is at max, but won't be able to control it although my brother's AS is not far enough. It's only up to the point where I can get the PlayNav and If I transfer the japanese kyogre to my X/Y or OR, there's no telling what the HP type will be so apparently the translation is gonna be a problem for me.

I've got a bevy of Synchronize Pokemon from back in my Platinum days: I have a Modest Kadabra on standby, but I'm not sure how hard it is to get a Pokemon with a specific Hidden Power type.  Haven't bothered with that before, though given the checker you mentioned it shouldn't be anything more than time consuming.  If you want a Brave Kyogre then I might need to borrow a Synchronize 'mon, or breed one myself.  And no, I don't necessarily want that specific Kyogre: I have my old one from Sapphire and my shiny one from HG.  Legendaries are mainly for show for me anyways (except me suddenly wanting to get a decent Latios and Latias...), so I'd be willing to give up the AS Kyogre.  But I haven't finished Mt. Chimney yet, so I'm waaaay far away right now.  X3  Curse me wanting to write a story about the game as I play it!
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Jun 21, 15:19:41
Getting a specific Hidden Power will be time-consuming, yes (unless you're really lucky). That's why I offered two options. If you don't wanna put up with the Modest one, that's totally fine.

Also, I forgot to mention: I know I could just go back and play the original Sapphire (or even Emerald) to catch Kyogre, but I have my own reasons for wanting one from Alpha Sapphire.

Anyway, just tell me which one you're going after. And of course, I do plan on offering something in return. (P.S. Take your time. I don't necessarily need it ASAP.)
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Jun 21, 23:54:12
You probably forgotten about getting kyogre in HG as well which it will shorten up the time on migrating to B/W 1/2 > X/Y/ORAS. Like I said i can help, but the HP type is gonna be problem due to translation.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Jun 22, 09:21:56
I didn't forget HeartGold; it's just how you get it there is a lot more tedious to get. And migration isn't a problem for me. Not that it matters; I did specifically say the Kyogre I wanted HAD to be from Alpha Sapphire.

Also, just look up the Japanese text for Ground (as well as the text for the Hidden Power NPCs). Maybe that'll help?

The Pokémon Safari event stage has made a return. This stage gives you random Pokémon each time and runs from June 22, 2015 to July 6, 2015 at 06:00 UTC. The Pokémon are: Electrike, Manectric, Darumaka, Darmanitan & Stantler. You need to download the new patch, Version 1.2.4 to obtain it.

It has been announced that the next Mega Stone competition stage is to go live from June 29, 2015 to July 6, 2015. This stage gives you the Mega Stone for Manectric, Manectite. As Manectric is only found in the Pokémon Safari event, it's best to attempt to get it now. Full details will come next week.

For those of you in the US, the latest event has begun. From today until July 12, you can go to Gamestop to get a serial code to receive a special Dragonite for Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. It knows the move Dragon Dance, Outrage, Hurricane and Extremespeed, which is a difficult move to get on Dragonite as it can only be obtained by breeding with an ancestor from HeartGold & SoulSilver. It also has its Hidden Ability of Multiscale and holds a Lum Berry.

Quote from: SerebiiFor five turns, the user prevents the opposing team from using any moves, Abilities, or held items that recover HP.


Quote from: BulbapediaGeneration IV

Heal Block prevents the functioning of the moves Ingrain, Aqua Ring, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Roost, Recover, Heal Order, Rest, Softboiled, Wish, Milk Drink, Slack Off, and Synthesis, while it is under effect. The player can still use items such as Potions to heal the Pokémon.

The moves Absorb, Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Leech Life, Dream Eater, Drain Punch, and Leech Seed will still inflict damage, but will not restore HP when the user is affected by Heal Block.

Pokémon with the Ability Volt Absorb or Water Absorb will take damage, as opposed to healing, from Electric- or Water-type attacks respectively while Heal Block is in effect. A poisoned Pokémon with Poison Heal is neither healed nor damaged.

All other Abilities and items which restore HP during battle will continue to work as normal. Heal Block wears off after 5 turns.

Generation V

Heal Block can now be reflected with Magic Coat. Heal Block now prevents the effect of Heal Pulse, Leftovers and Shell Bell, but not Black Sludge. Horn Leech will still inflict damage, but won't restore HP if user is under effect of Heal Block.

Generation VI

Heal Block now prevents the moves Absorb, Draining Kiss, Drain Punch, Dream Eater, Giga Drain, Horn Leech, Leech Life, Mega Drain, Oblivion Wing, and Parabolic Charge from being used. Leech Seed can still be used and will still inflict damage, but will not restore HP. Heal Block now prevents the effect of Black Sludge.

My Friend told me that manectric is pretty much hard to encounter although it's a good thing that serebii revealed the pokemon in the safari stage so I used lucario, groudon, and stunfisk to help me out.

As for pokemon rumble world, there's a way to catch boss pokemon easily. Someone told me that you can use heal pulse on the pokemon when you can't make them wobbly so to make them wobbly, you have to attack it fast while it's steaming, but not when preparing to attack or something like that.

Knew about that already. As for the fast-attacking moves I used, it's usually either any Claw variant (Dragon, Shadow, Iron, etc.), Close Combat (use at your own risk), or Sacred Sword.

Spoiler: Anyway, here's a bit more info about the mobile version of Pokémon Shuffle • show
[quote=Serebii]The Beta for Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is now currently live in Japan, and has come with several interesting tidbits. As opposed to being a directly straight port, there are a few differences. First, the Beta only goes up to Stage 30. Next, for the Special Stages, it currently has the Mew and Rotom event stages running, as well as the Meowth one. However, the stages can be locked and you may have to spend Jewels to unlock them. In addition to that, the Mew stage costs 2 hearts to play rather than the usual 1. Finally, there's a new Present Box option which shows you the items you receive as gifts when you check in. We'll bring more as it comes, including whether these details are just for the Beta or if there will be less parity between the 3DS and Mobile versions.[/quote]
Seems a bit mean for those who never played the original...

EDIT: Weavile and (Mega) Charizard (X) are confirmed to be playable characters in Pokkén Tournament. Jirachi and Whimsicott have also been confirmed to be Support Pokémon. The game will be out in Japanese arcades on July 16, 2015.

Spoiler: EDIT 2: Shuffle (3DS) updates • show
[list][li]10 new Main Stages have been added.[/li]
[li]New Daily Pokémon have been added.[/li]
[li]You can battle against Tepig on the Special Stages screen.[/li]
[li]You can battle against Jirachi on the Special Stages screen. Similar to Pinsir, you can only battle it once a day; unlike it, Jirachi has a pretty high catch rate, but it doesn't hurt to spend Coins on a Great Ball (especially if Super Catch gets triggered).[/li][/list]

I made a Coins guide for Shuffle on Miiverse. You can read it here (https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkP7VF9OQ). I'll also be adding it to the first post in case you need to look at it again.

EDIT: Arceus is now available, and you don't even need to download a patch to access it.

In non-Shuffle news, Tanabata Jirachi (which isn't shiny this time) will be available for all the Japanese Gen 6 games starting from July 18, 2015 to August 16, 2016. It's Level 100 with the moves Wish, Cosmic Power, and moves it doesn't normally have: Play Rough and Heart Stamp. It holds a Destiny Knot.

@Shuffle Coin limit: I wanna say it's 99,990, but I'm not sure yet. I'm getting close to reaching that, though.

@Kyogre: Only if you're sure. I don't want you wasting so many hours just to get it. Also, keep in mind you're not able to check its HP right away after catching it, even with a Master Ball.

Again, if you're not up to it, you can just catch a Brave one instead.

I was intending to use an online calculator to figure it out immediately after the battle/finding the HP type, before saving.  It's how I got my (mostly) good Latias, which was a grand old chore thanks to so much dialogue before and after encountering her, plus not being able to control her nature.  I'll wager there's quite a bit of dialogue after catching Kyogre, but at least I'll have a much better rate for finding the right nature thanks to my Modest Synchronize Kadabra.

I was intending to use an online calculator to figure it out immediately after the battle/finding the HP type, before saving.  It's how I got my (mostly) good Latias, which was a grand old chore thanks to so much dialogue before and after encountering her, plus not being able to control her nature.  I'll wager there's quite a bit of dialogue after catching Kyogre, but at least I'll have a much better rate for finding the right nature thanks to my Modest Synchronize Kadabra.

I also use stat calculators after catching Legendaries (well... Pokémon you can interact with in general), but sometimes the IVs listed aren't accurate. This obviously isn't a problem if you have tons of Rare Candies, though.

Anyway, good luck! (P.S. If you decide to go after Brave instead, I'll lend you my Gardevoir.)

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon the movie XY

The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the first imagery from the movie trailer for the third Pokémon XY movie which is due for release next year. This imagery comes from a trailer that airs after the newest movie, Hoopa & The Clash of Ages which is set to open in Japan on Saturday and showcases a silhouette of a mysterious Pokémon. Details of this movie remain unclear, but we'll bring more as and when it comes.

EDIT 3: Mega Lucario makes another return on Shuffle, making this the third time it's shown up ever since the game has been first released. Once again, the stage is Moves-based, and the top 15,000 players in Europe, 30,000 players in North America and 65,000 players in Japan will earn a Lucarionite, or 2 Jewels if you have already earned one. If you don't rank in the top amounts, you will earn 1 Jewel instead.

Also, the next competition is said to be Mega Blaziken, so be prepared for that.

EDIT 4: (Mega) Blaziken has been announced for Pokkén Tournament. Here's the official trailer:

So I've begun the hunt for your Kyogre.  After OHKOing it once with Mega Sceptile and nearly suffering a party wipe a second time, I chose to just catch it in the Master Ball.  I'll inform you when I get a Modest, Ground HP type.  Are you interested in a nickname or preference for IVs?  If it starts taking too long IVs are going out the window, but I presume a max-SpAtk IV is preferred?

Also, the music for soaring...oh my Luna I'm so glad I waited to hear it in game.  :')  I'm gonna have so much fun with that mechanic after this is all over!  :D

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon - New Pokémon?

Today in Japan, the latest Pokémon movie, Hoopa & The Clash of Ages, opened and within it, according to our envoy and close friend to the site, Gin who just saw the movie, there was something new appearing in it. She describes it as being bright green with one eye larger than the other. During the trailer for next years movie, its eye looked through the O of the word Pokémon and then it blobbed about. This was then followed by the large new Pokémon silhouette revealed on July 12th. Gin has kindly provided a few possible sketches of this Pokémon, but it is likely to differ greatly. It of course could still be an alternate form, a weird separated part of a new form of an existing Pokémon or something completely new, but it remains to be seen. We'll bring full details of this as and when it comes so keep checking back.

Edit @ 07:51: Gin kindly did another image to demonstrate how it appeared and further show what it may look like.

I agree with rikaria. We can't jump into conclusions about the next gen of pokemon just yet. We have to wait till they're announced from japan first so we can get some more information and not to mention nintendo direct (considering who's doing direct videos from this point on) as well.

EVERY "Generation" of Pokemon got another game.

Kanto: Yellow
Johto: Crystal
Hoenn: Emerald
Sinnoh: Platinum
Unova: Black 2/White 2

Therefore logic dictates that Kalos should get one too.

Even if Z (or whatever they'll use) does eventually come out, it's too soon. I'd expect it sometime next year at earliest. And by next year, I mean the same date as X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire's release: during fall/autumn.

Several Pokémon Shuffle event stages are soon to get a repeat run. These Pokémon are the Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza stages and will run after the Arceus event stage ends. From July 24th to July 31st and again from August 14th to August 21st, the Kyogre stage will run. From July 31st to August 7th and again from August 21st to August 28th, the Groudon Stage will be running and from August 7th to August 14th and again from August 28th to September 4th, the Rayquaza stage will run.

Alright.

I'll try to wait for more info then and just hope it's not Gen 7.

Because if you're going to say it's too early for the next Kalos game, then that means it's way too early for Gen 7.

EDIT:
Quote from: SerebiiFollowing the surprise appearance of what may be a new Pokémon and/or form, more people have been able to see the movie, Hoopa & The Clash of Ages and due to this, thanks to another friend of mine, we have a far more accurate sketch of it now which differs slightly from the original ones we had yesterday. It includes elements that were lost previously on it including a red stomach. Of course, there is still likely to be some discrepencies between the sketch and the actual design but this is a close approximation. Also, the massive Pokémon shown in CoroCoro that's also in the trailer has pulsating hexagons in the trailer around its body. It's not currently known when these Pokémon/forms will be completely revealed with official art and screenshots, but when it is, we'll post it here as soon as it comes.

I heard the reports of hoopa being a hacked pokemon so apparently to tell if hoopa is a hacked pokemon, you can probably tell by the ribbon and the pokeball prototype so be sure to check for those. Well I did hear this stuff from the pokemon trading facebook group if that's proof enough.

Here's a warning from the pokemon global news facebook group

QuoteAs most of you know, the Hoopa event is available in Japan

Any Hoopa received by GTS and Wonder Trade are not Legit since event Pokémon comes with a Ribbon that do not allow that type of trading. Even if the person uses Action Replay and take out the ribbon the Hoopa will not be considered legit

If any person is caught in competition or tournament with a hack Hoopa you can be expelled from future competitions.

Just a little warning


Yeah so do a check on ribbon and pokeball prototype to see if it's legit or not when negotiating with the traders. I love to get my hands on hoopa, but I'll see if I can get my brother to get one for me from japan although I think it can only be obtained once, but not sure if it applies to X/Y too.

(For the record, Diancie is referred to as a princess in one of the Pokémon movies, hence why I was using she/her in the strikeouts earlier. The only problem is that Diancie is actually genderless.)

Quote from: SerebiiThe Pokémon Global Link has put out an update regarding stricter hack checks that are to come to the game. If you have been caught with a modified save file or modified Pokémon, then you will be unable to participate in Rating Battles or in Battle Competitions. If you are caught having done this multiple times, you are to be hit with stronger consequences beyond blocking from Rating Battles, which have not been detailed, without any warning. Those who have already been confirmed to have done this will have consequences enacted soon. This follows recent instances of save data loss for innocent players after they have encounter certain people with modified data.

I will only talk about the last picture since you mentioned the most about the first one.
It looks like Ampharos is the guild leader, or how you put it.
I like most of the guild members (I'll just assume that this is some kind of guild), except that there are three from gen 6 and none from gen 1 and 2.
I wonder what a legendary like Jirachi is doing there, since her ability is granting wishes, I hope that will be something important to this games story line.

My Friend was interested in pokken, but I dunno if i should get it for him or not. My preferred pokemon games goes to pokemon adventure games like the main series, pokepark, and pokemon mystery dungeon, strategy such as pokemon TCG, and puzzles like pokemon puzzle league & challenge, and pokemon shuffle

Speaking of pokemon shuffle, jeez, the new main stages took a toll out of my coins and now i have to re-work up my coins for the competition stages., but mostly scatterbug family gave me a run for my coins.

I don't often go for fighting games, but I do like Soul Calibur, the only 3D fighting game like this I've played. So maybe I'll give it a shot. Luchador Pikachu was amusing and unexpected, but I bet I'll be playing Lucario, Gardevoir, Sneasel, and maybe Suicune.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Chromastone64 on 2015 Aug 22, 13:48:09
I'm so hyped for this game! I want to try playing as Gardevoir and Suicune. Suicune because best legendary dog, and Gardevoir because I want to like that Pokemon.
There's only one thing I'm afraid of: I just have this feeling that they showed us EVERY character in the game, and that there won't be any secret/unlockable ones.

Anyway, there's a tease about flowers being involved in Pokémon's future. (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/41030/pokemon-marketing-director-teases-flowers-in-series-future) My friend thought it'd be something like Pokémon RoseRed and VioletBlue (especially considering the anniversary is coming up), but who knows.

Other than that, really wish Europe and America had the games released during the same time, I always get so sad since I cannot go on any social media because I don't want any spoilers. All I can do is order it and play through old games while waiting for it to arrive, which takes around 2 weeks, and often gets even more delayed. >.<
Oh well, this game better not disappoint, I am way too hyped to get another game like Gates of Infinity. >:O

Well, have fun with that.

Speaking of which, I don't think I ever mentioned how I feel about Pokken Tournament!
It looks neat, but based on what I've seen, it kinda seems to be taking a more... Naruto-ish fighting game than a Tekken Fighting game, which kinda disappointed me a little bit. I mean, It still does look like a ton of fun, and I do definitely see myself getting it and loving it, but I unfortunately can't really see myself seeing this played at a tournament level.
I can see it being a game you'd bring to a party for funsies moreso than a game you'd practice, get good at, and then play it at tournaments. Which is totally fine like I said before, but it's just not what I was expecting it to be.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Stardust Dragon on 2015 Aug 30, 16:41:51
I agree with Itty Bit in saying that it looks cool, but fighting games aren't really my sort of thing.  I've found my interest in Smash Bros. waning with the 3DS version, and I played Soul Calibur 2 only because Link was in it.  Never got interested in the rest of the series.  I think I'll pass on the game, but maybe watch videos of it here and there; I do love to watch people rack up the combo counter!  :D
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Aug 30, 21:41:21
Super Smash bros may be an exception for a fighting game, but if you guys prefer pokemon puzzles like pokemon shuffle adventures like the main series, mystery dungeon, and pokepark, and strategy like TCG then don't get pokken at all besides if pokken goes to the arcades, then probably going to the arcade places might be your best bet. The only exception fighting game in pokemon series is Super Smash Bros.

If pokken is exclusive for that system only like it's exclusive to wii-u, then there's 0% chance that it will not be released in multiple systems. Certain pokemon games are only exclusive to certain systems and some pokemon games can't be released outside of japan.

I always remember this saying: try the game once before you say i don't like this game.

Quote from: SerebiiThe first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed some further details about Zygarde. Zygarde can take many forms. Normal Zygarde is at 50% and is called Zygarde 50% Forme. The dog like form is when it is at 10% and is called Zygarde 10% Forme. It has sharp teeth and speed. The blob is the cell, or Zygarde Core and becomes the brain of every form. The flat form is called Zygarde Cell. The new large form is called Zygarde Perfect Forme and retains its Dragon/Ground-type. It is the Order Pokémon and is 4.5m tall and 610kg and is said to exceed Xerneas and Yveltal in power. The new animé series called Pokémon XY & Z is to come with Mega Evolution Act 4 starting on October 29, 2015. It also reveals a new look for Greninja, labelling it "Ash Greninja". The magazine mentions that it looks sort of like Ash's clothes.

Official details of the recent Zygarde and Ash Greninja stuff:

Quote from: SerebiiMost of the forms keep their name, but Zygarde Perfect Forme is to be called Zygarde Complete Forme in the west. It also describes Ash-Greninja as the form that Greninja takes when the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their bond changes Greninja's appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of Ash's attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several hundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery.

Zygarde Cell: This stage has been identified as the single Cells that make up Zygarde. Cells do not possess any will or thought processes. They're found scattered throughout the region. Since they can't use any moves, researchers question whether they can even be called Pokémon!

Zygarde Core: At this stage, this aspect of Zygarde is little more than a part of the Pokémon's brain. Unlike the Cells, the Cores are self-aware and can communicate with Cells and other Cores via telepathy. When a change occurs in the local region's ecosystem, Cores have been known to take action.

Zygarde 10% Forme: Zygarde 10% is the Forme that the Zygarde Core takes when it gathers 10% of the Cells nearby. Capable of traveling over 60 mph (100 km/h), it defeats enemies with its sharp fangs and its incredible speed.

Zygarde Complete Forme: This is the perfect Forme that Zygarde takes when the Core gathers 100% of the Cells. When the ecosystem is under threat, and the Core concludes that the 50% Forme will be unable to deal with it, the Core takes on the Complete Forme. Its power is said to be greater than that of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal!

I'm starting to think that the new main stages and competition stages are giving a run for our coins. The new main stages are becoming more harder and tricky to clear and as for the competition stages, it's for scoring higher.

Have you guys noticed about other people using ditto, and shiny genesect in pokemon shuffle lately? I noticed them on the leaderboards during the competition stages, but some of us can't use those type of pokemon. I'm just hoping that nintendo and/or pokemon company can do a patch on those unobtainable pokemon and reset those scores.

They've been around for a while, actually. It's just they became more... visible (for lack of a better word) starting with the Mega Charizard Y competition.

Funny story, actually... According to someone I know on Miiverse, 1.2.18 actually did remove unreleased Pokémon (from their party) when players attempted stages, but 1.2.19 somehow removed what 1.2.18 did... I guess it wasn't ready or something? I don't know...

Anyway, don't worry about "those" scores. They get removed even before the prizes get distributed.

Oh wow. I though their scores will get a reset if that happened. I didn't notice that on the last competition stage, but 1 person did notice that during that competition stage. so lemme get this straight, their scores gets removed before the prizes gets distributed for using unreleased pokemon? I just hope that nintendo or either pokemon company can patch the unreleased pokemon to make it fair for other players during the competition stages and compensate us with either a item, jewel, or coins.

According to another Miiverse post, those that got their scores removed are banned from the current competition, but they're not actually banned from playing the game... including future competitions (at least, for now; no idea if they'll ever properly fix this). Everyone else is unaffected and still have to follow the current rules (AKA no compensation).

(To moderators: I'm sorry if what I talked about seems to be a touchy subject, but this has been plaguing Miiverse and Pokémon Shuffle itself for a while that even Nintendo have taken notice.)

So apparently if they're banned from the competition stages, not only the scores will be removed, but the rankings are affected for using unreleased pokemon. Well At least they won't get the mega evo stone or any of the rewards that's a good sign.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Oct 10, 23:31:43
It won't matter; they can just add the rewards themselves. The only reason why they even participate in the first place is to start an uproar and want our attention; they WANT us to get mad/upset.

Anyway, enough about that. Here's some more news:

Quote from: SerebiiThe first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed some details about distributions to coincide with the Pokémon XY & Z animé. These distributions will run weekly and will be obtained by a Serial Code obtained from the show. On October 29th, a shiny Xerneas will be obtainable; it is Level 100 with the moves Geomancy, Moonblast, Aromatherapy, and Focus Blast. On November 5th, a code for a shiny Yveltal will be distributed with the moves Oblivion Wing, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, and Foul Play. And on November 12th, a code for a normal Zygarde will be distributed with the moves Land's Wrath, Extreme Speed, Glare, and Outrage.

(Quote edited a bit to make more sense.)

Well Let's just hope the pokemon company can patch pokemon shuffle up so they can prevent people from using unreleased pokemon in competition stages. I did see a couple of posts you mentioned earlier on the miiverse, but didn't see much. Probably sometime in the later future, they have to do a check if the players are using unreleased pokemon in the competition stages and prevent them from using the unreleased pokemon to make things fair.

Well that mad/upset part is true, but it's more like they're trolling the fair and legit players in the competition stages.

Quote from: SerebiiFor those of you in Germany, the Hoopa event has begun. If you go to Gamestop stores between today and November 7th, you will receive a code for Hoopa. This code can be redeemed in X, Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and needs to be redeemed by January 10th. In addition to this, it has been posted on the official Gamestop site that Gamestop stores in Austria and Switzerland will also be running the event from today.

I'm starting to think that the players who used unreleased pokemon for the competition stages didn't get banned before the rewards were distributed, but rankings were affected by this action as well. Probably a patch and a check should be in a order.

If I do recall, They normally distribute event pokemon on the day of the pokemon movie release or something like that. I would've gotten the japanese hoopa, but I didn't get a chance to ask my brother to get one for me.

There's not much information about the upcoming pokemon games that I know except for pokemon super mystery dungeon, but there are some gameplay videos on pokemon super mystery dungeon. I'm not sure if there's any more information or evidence, but I probably picked up a little information although not even 100% sure about this information.

The information about the upcoming pokemon that I Picked up are from another forums that i came from.

Here's what I picked up

QuoteMasuda is scheduled to appear on Pokemon House (newest Pokemon Sunday morning talk show, after Get TV's run ended) on 15th November
I'm not 100% sure with this information. Needs more information and evidence to confirm.

Quotemain-series game will not come out by December 31st.  Spin-off games will, but not main series.

Quote from: SerebiiFor those of you in the US, the Hoopa event has been announced. Hoopa is to be distributed at McDonald's restaurants across the country from November 27, 2015 to December 23, 2015. This is a local event that requires you to have your 3DS and X, Y, Omega Ruby, and/or Alpha Sapphire. This follows on from the events in Europe currently running in Germany, the UK and Italy, as well as in France from November 2nd.

This doesn't make sense... Wouldn't GameStop be a better choice?

McDonalds?! What in Luna's name happened there?  o.O

I wonder if it has something to do with golden arches and Hoopa's gold rings...but in that case I'd immediately think Target rings.

I just hope they realize I'm still not buying their "food" unless I'm completely starving.

Edit: I really need to check the months on these dates...I just walked out to a nearby McDonalds and tried to download something that isn't going to be around for another month.  At least I got some errands done while I was out.

I do agree that gamestop would be a better choice for pokemon distribution. Usually toys r us may work as well, but I haven't seen toys r us do pokemon distribution before since that shaymin, darkrai, and manaphy events back in D/P/Pl days If I recall.

In this process, hopefully if we can get hoopa in pokemon shuffle as well.

Oh boy. Since Hoopa is made for mixed sweeper, Nature is gonna be tough to decide on. IVs is gonna be another tough one even though I need to get at least 3-5 IVs on it.

Hoopa for pokemon rumble world, Let's hope we can get it by password. In Shuffle, Probably Hoopa is gonna be available through special stage with new extra data or an update or either both.

I checked the happy meal part there through their site and Those pokemon toys will be on the next happy meal.

edit: Word of warning, if you guys are trying to get hoopa from mcdonalds, you're gonna have to sacrifice one of your internet connections your 2/3DS connection settings (regardless if your connection settings is full or not) in order to get hoopa and use the nintendo zone in exchange for the free wi-fi connection hotspots. It seems I was told that nintendo zones were discontinued and these zone hotspots have been converted to free wi-fi hotspots.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

For those of you in North America, a Zoroark event has randomly begun over the Nintendo Network. It is available through Mystery Gift > Receive Gift > Receive via Internet and is special in that it has the move Sludge Bomb, a move it can't normally learn. The distribution lasts until November 20, 2015.

Definitely random, but I'll take it.

EDIT:
Quote from: SerebiiFollowing the surprise release of the special Sludge Bomb Zoroark over Nintendo Network for North American Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire games, details have been revealed for other places. It has been confirmed that this event is coming to Europe. In the UK, it will be distributed via Serial Codes in GAME stores from November 6, 2015 to November 26, 2015 and can be redeemed in Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, & Alpha Sapphire.

Okay... why not Nintendo Network just like North America?

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was featured on the most recent Nintendo Direct and the stated release date was 20th this month. There is one thing that was not menitoned however: The release date is for North America, the PAL(Europe and Australia) release dates are still unannounced and estimated to be somewhere in the first or second quarter of next year, and that is not exactly very fun to hear as a fan of PMD that lives in Europe, there's not even a single excuse or reason as to why this is either.

Well Seeing the 1st gen pokemon games going to the VC will bring back memories on how we played the games. The Blue version was the only game that I have the most memories with. Back in my school Days like about when I was 6th grade or so, I kept asking for information on how to get mew, but no one knew how to get mew till the new information on how to get mew was revealed.

Although Pokemon Stadium 1 was my 1st pokemon game. I didn't start out with any of the main series of the game till R/S/E/FR/LG, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness.

Looking back at my memories on R/B/Y, well Articuno was my only highest level pokemon. As for the stats, well I don't know what special stat was and how the moves other than support are affected by the stat, but my guess it would be both sp. atk and defense.

Later on, they'll have to release G/S/C to the VC as well.

I hope we get that over here at one point... She's my beloved princess, after all ;_;

Anyway, for those who are playing Nintendo Badge Arcade, the game/app (whichever you prefer to call it) has been adding Pokémon badges all week. I'm sure they'll go away at some point, but at the same time I'm sure they'll come back later. Either way, grab whatever you can now!

Added a section for Super Mystery Dungeon to the first post. From what I've read, you can use codes to rescue those who fainted in a dungeon, so I might make a list if enough players need... well... rescuing. Otherwise, expect passwords and other announcements.

Please remember to use spoiler tags whenever talking about the story, if you're required to do something to unlock whatever, and so on.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Nov 20, 04:37:08
Well there may be dungeon restrictions so if you think that you can't do a friend rescue that has dungeon restrictions, you have to notify in advance so that way we can find some other person or someone pro enough who can do it.

I'm glad the friend rescue passwords are back. I wasn't too sure if friend rescue by wi-fi also works too.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: Rikaria on 2015 Nov 20, 09:28:39
Rescue by Wi-Fi doesn't seem to be a thing, but you can still rescue locally (of course).

Something else I need to mention: even if you get the physical version of the game, you can still redeem a code for the free 3DS HOME Menu Theme. The code is found on the reverse side of the game's cover sleeve.

EDIT: Lol... the quiz gave me Totodile as my Starter and Tepig as my Partner... I chose Riolu and Charmander, though.

Tell me about it. There's not much to make money anyway and things have gotten a lot tougher than the previous games. I spent most of my money on reviver seeds since the game is a lot tougher. Gotta have life insurance though.

Well It's tough as the game progresses as usual, but it's not giving us time to grind and make money like the previous games. We just gotta be more strategic on what we do. Reviver seeds are becoming a pain to buy now and survival is pretty much hard as I know.

[li]Use Wands! They can make a whole world of difference, especially in boss battles![/li]
[li]Emeras are your best friends! Some of them can make it to where boss battles that would normally give you THE hardest time become soooooooooooooo much easier once you have them equipped![/li][/list]

I recently got Regigigas as a teammate... Playing as it (via making it leader) is... kinda annoying... The same probably goes for the rest of the "take up nine grid squares" Pokémon.

Well I had a frustration difficulties with my items and encountering pokemon that barrage-type moves such as fury swipes.

Here's what I know so far

You can hardly make money in the game, but with rikaria's moneymakng tips, you should be fine

Items are hard to stock-up for story mode so what I said about farming in some dungeons that have midpoints can work for farming. You can also use the pelipper's island for your shopping needs.

Difficulty has increased as you progress so be more strategic on what you do and make use of your items

Friend Rescues are back by password now, but the new features comes with QR codes, streetpass, and such.

All of gates to infinity mechanics apply

There are no ribbons, scarves, and bands for now.

The Belly stat is back so you're gonna have to make use of your food this time.

The personality quiz may be back, but If you don't like the starter and partner pokemon that's randomly chosen, you can choose another pokemon of your choice.

Yeah It's a lot harder than the previous games except Explorer of sky if you have Time/Darkness. Another thing that I know and as I mentioned before is that you don't have the time to grind as the story progress. The game will test your strategy, the use of items, and scavenging so if you're at the point where you can't shop in multiple towns, then you have to use pelipper's island to stock up your items in a situation like this.

There are no training facilities like in gates to infinity and your moves will start out weak so refer to the moves stats if you're curious.

On a different yet related note: sometime later in the game, you can talk to a certain Pokémon to either record your own special dungeon adventures or download and watch others' experiences (this isn't a spoiler since it's mentioned in the game's e-Manual). If any of you made a movie already or plan to make one, please share its ID here. I've updated the first post to include a small section for it.

Am I the only one who doesn't find it that hard...? X3

Some of the enemy Pokemon hit hard for sure, but it isn't that bad! And my item bag is always overflowing, as is my money... Then again, I'm barely getting started (I work full time as some of you may know, so I haven't had much time to play) so who knows!

I've only had one dungeon failed so far, and that was because I accidentally stole from a shop in the middle of the dungeon because there were enemies around... lol

It is pretty fun though, Butt. I'm in love with my partner and the rest of the game so far. It's definitely worth it. ^-^

Just wondering, how much does PSMD cost on the E-shop? Just want to know so I can make a decent guess at the local price, that and when I have 128 GB of space on my N3DS, which is possible mind you, it's just way more convenient to download.

The same as physical copies: $40 USD.

Well The physical copies include the tax while the digital copies doesn't include tax. The digital copy may take up room on your SD card depending on its size and how much GBs it has.

I have 128 GB, I could stuff eight more copies of MGS 3 on it and still have space left, I don't think space consumption will be much of an issue.

Tax is included with the digital version, yes, but often times the digital version is a little bit cheaper, you don't really have a middleman that has to make the physical copies, then ship them, and THEN sell them, and all at a profit for all steps involved.

Well you're not gonna find one that easily, but gamefaqs. The game is pretty much hard and challenging difficulty as we said. The game is pretty much straight forward, but Like I said before you won't get the time to grind, farm items, and make money during story mode.

As of rikaria's moneymaking tips, Just sell fresh apples regardless of size. they sell more at their original price

As for my tip

As I mentioned before, If you're low on items, you can always go back to the beginning of the dungeon if they have midpoints to gather up some items. Just be careful with the reviver seeds otherwise you'll be spending them like crazy. If you don't have access to the shops, just use pelipper island for your shopping needs.

If you're concerned about grinding, don't worry about it. The exp share mechanic is the same as gates to infinity except for applying the moves.

How's pokemon super mystery dungeon treating you guys so far? I'm pretty sure it's not an easy game compared to other previous games based on difficulty except for explorers of sky if you have Time and/or Darkness.

It was either risk that traffic and parking or have to go waaaaay far out of my way when I go back up to school tomorrow.  Besides, the one I went to was pretty much up against a residential neighborhood in a lot with no other stores.  I made it in and out no problems...save having to delete one of my saved wifi connections so I could actually hook up to Mcdonald's network.  Dangit Nintendo!

I remember having a very odd question in Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team.  I found out about this thing called a Silence Orb and really wanted to learn about it more, namely one completely pointless thing.  It inflicts "Muzzled" on a Pokemon, which essentially prevents the mouth from being used at all (moves, eating etc), and I had to wonder: if a partner of mine was Muzzled, could they talk like normal?  I tried experimenting but I never got something to try and use it on my party.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Nov 28, 00:23:18
I don't use orbs except for escape orb. with the exception of super mystery dungeon, I normally use orbs for emergencies or desperate situations.

Oh yeah, here's another way to make money, get a persian and/or meowth and make'em use pay day. pay day's effect will not work if the pokemon is holding something and it has to be the final blow otherwise money will not drop if the ally pokemon without pay day delivers the final blow.

edit: i'm getting mixed reports on getting hoopa, but i'm trying to get more information. someone said that you don't need McD's wifi in the settings to get hoopa, but I asked if she's 100% sure about that and my friend asked if it's obtained from mystery gift's search option.

Just like Latias, I've gotten all Mega Speedups (Level 200) on Latios. I spent a lot, but it was worth it. This has literally been the funnest Escalation Battle for me so far.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2015 Nov 30, 20:53:40
Well I only go to 100 in escalation battles to get mega speed ups, but usually not in turn based escalation battles.

as I said in my last post about grinding fast in pokemon super mystery dungeon, here's what you need to do

1. make sure you have a motivated pokemon, but it has to be at least a pokemon that can use heat wave and/or discharge. Sunny day and Charge are optional, but it helps improve damage. If unown is motivated along with 2 other pokemon, you may wanna use it

2. Go to mysterious geoglyph and reach to the end of the dungeon floor

3. once you reached the end of the dungeon floor, camp by the stairs, and then use discharge or heat wave.

and 4. after you defeated all of the pokemon, You can stand by the stairs and wait for the respawn (by holding A+B) and then repeat

The following items you need are joy looplets, elixirs, and apples. If the accuracy and PP on heat wave and discharge are being a problem, use PP-up and accuracy drinks to do the job also bring reviver seeds (or revive all orbs in case if you're the last pokemon standing).

you can only do this if you're at post-game and have access to the dungeon. Don't stay in the dungeon too long if stronger winds are blowing. Exit the dungeon when that happens.

On your Picross question: you basically get infinite Picrites... as a "tap here to get 1k Picrites" option. I don't get why they did that... (P.S. I bought the remaining 4k.)

On Super Mystery Dungeon: I haven't played the game ever since I beat the main story and part of the post-story. I've been too busy with other stuff including playing other games that I don't really have the time to do "extra" stuff.

My only problem with finding 1 emera in pokemon super mystery dungeon is Trap Proof. I needed that for one of the looplets that I'm planning to use for the rest of the expedition, but most likely it's the destiny tower that i need to get through.

About this mew distribution for Pokemon R/B/Y for 3DS VC, according to serebii
QuoteThe Mew distribution will run from March 19th through May 8th at Pokémon Center, Pokémon Store, Toys R Us, Tsutaya, and Aeon stores. In advance, they recommend that you save the game in front of the Cable Club and put a Pokémon at the head of your party to trade. They also recommend you change your console's username to match that of Pokémon. You need to take the special Mew exchange ticket with you in order to receive the Mew


Is that possible to change your system's username to get mew?

^ I don't know, honestly.

ANYWAY! BIG NEWS!

Spoiler: The new Pokémon • show
(http://serebii.net/corocoro3162.jpg)

[quote=Serebii]The first image of the cover of CoroCoro has been released through a trailer. This cover includes the first silhouette of a brand new Pokémon. This Pokémon is called Magiana (マギアナ). Its classification is Man-Made Pokémon. No type has been revealed. Posses a metalic body, text confirms it was 'made by human hands'. It was made over 500 years ago. Volcanion is chasing Magiana, only it knows Magiana's secret.

The movie it stars in is to be called Volcanion and the Exquisite Mechanical Magiana.[/quote]

I heard about the new pokemon, but ppl are saying it's 7th gen. There's still more information to come though. If it's 6th gen pokemon, then it's most likely to be for Z version if there's any information about that version. The type of the pokemon is unconfirmed though, but I heard ppl saying it could be fairy / steel type and it does look a like a mixture version of klingklang and diancie.

The third Kalos game hasn't even come out yet.

I seriously doubt it's a 7th gen Pokemon.

My guess it's just an "extra" Pokemon they decided to make since 6th gen didn't have a lot of Pokemon to begin with and for something extra to add to "Z" and/or whatever the third Kalos game is called.

It hasn't been long enough for 7th gen yet anyway.

It's still too early to jump into conclusions about the magearna being 6th or 7th gen pokemon, but still need the Z (or the middle of X/Y) version to be released.

Only 1 person was wondering about that and said
QuoteIt's odd that there's no Pokemon Z since in the anime it's XY&Z. Unless it could come in the future. We don't know for sure.


My Friend said and told me that It's likely that we're not gonna get Z version sooner or later.

We don't always need a 3rd game for each region, you know. If anything, I'm glad that we're getting something new instead of something old with updated features. That may have worked in the past, but since we're able to get literally all of the current Pokémon in just X/Y/OR/AS alone, having Z would be pointless at this rate. Yes, there would still be buyers if Z existed, but let's face it: times change, and so do trends.

Anyway, I'll be using that one pic I posted yesterday as this thread's new header now :P

Well The Direct gave us a little information on S/M versions. Judging by the release date, it's most likely on christmas. Summer will be out of the question by the description of the release date. Today's direct is nothing new, but the concept arts so there will be more information on the pokemon, region, and places for S/M on E3 2016.

Rikaria is right though. Like My friend said, it's not likely that we'll get Z Version sooner or later and Delta Emerald is out of the question as well.

note: We can probably use S/M in a short term for Sun/Moon if you guys want.

Well RB, G/S, R/S, and D/P all have 3rd version which are yellow, crystal, emerald, and platinum. I don't think there was any point in getting a remake of crystal to DS / 3DS. If Z version does exist, we would've seen and gotten Zygarde's forms.

I heard that people were asking about the new pokemon, places, region, places will be like, but all that stuff to be answered will be on  E3 2016. They must've jumped into conclusions too early even though the information from direct was too little to go over besides concept arts.

We don't get the pokemon bank update till later on, but it would've been too early if we got the update by the time RBY comes out so it's most likely that they'll do the same for ORAS release.

It can't be helped if we're not getting Z version so it's pretty much understandable what my friend told me and told you guys what he said. We have to wait till another Direct and/or E3 to provide us more information on the upcoming pokemon games so don't complain about the Z version. It's most likely that all other people have complained about the Z version too.

Speaking of upcoming pokemon games, I hope you guys enjoyed and had fun at the pokken early access at the participating stores. I don't know how many of you guys will get pokken, but If my friend wanted me to get pokken, Maybe i'll get it and try it out once and see if I like the game or not.

Since I've seen this fan theory circulating around the net, I'm hoping that Pokemon SuMo is going to be a dual-region type of game. That is, it is a game that takes place in a new region, but allows us to visit an old one, like, say, Kalos for example.

It would explain why Kalos has a train station that we never get to use, and one of the city's land marks is a gigantic Sundial. It is also said that some cities even have Moondials as well!

Not to mention Zygarde is a solar-powered Pokemon that was really under-utilized in Pokemon X & Y. Granted we've had this type of unspoken legendary pop up in games before, but the new movie hyped up its other forms so much, it'd be a shame not to use them in the main-series games.

If they are dual-regions, I hope they have clothing shops like they did in Kalos :3 I really wanna dress up my trainer again!

Well people have been asking what the region in Sun & Moon version will be like, but that kind of question will be answered in E3 2016. Most of the questions that people ask about Sun & moon has to be revealed in E3 2016.

I did notice that people are too excited or hyped up for the sun & moon versions, but even though they shouldn't do that in terms of the version exclusive pokemon they should know about first before buying sun & moon (or both) versions. It's true that we can use GTS or have a friend trustworthy enough to trade for a exclusive pokemon although Wonder Trades will get you the chance of getting that exclusive pokemon since you'll never know what you'll get.

From what I've seen on image boards, there's a handful of people who think that the new region might be Tropical/Sub-Tropical. I would post the relevant imagery, but it includes language that I cannot share here.

Lets just say that there are some snippets from trailer that could allude to that being the case, but it's still too soon to say. Kalos in particular had totally different environments depending on what route or town you're in...

So yeah you're right, it's best to wait for more info :)

My little sister is fan of Sailor Moon (and Full Moon wo Sagash'te) so I'm guessing she'll get Moon. If that's the case, then I'm probably going to get Sun.

The information we need on Sun & Moon versions are New Pokemon, Region, Cities, and Towns, Moves, Abilities, and Mega Evolutions. Most people are expecting new mega evolutions in Sun & Moon, but who knows which new pokemon are chosen for mega evolution. I'm hoping for new dual types for fairy as well.

I'm not 100% sure if we can trust on is TPCi. My friend told me that they use corocoro as their news mag.

The Last nintendo Direct revealed news and information pokken so that's the only thing we know about so far.

Combos aren't everything though, you also have to know how to close the distance or make some as you need it, along with being able to figure out what to use and when, heck you don't even really need to use combos all that much outside the regular button-mash ones if you're good at reading your opponent.

Heh, it might be the levelups, I have 10 points in attack so while you do a lot of damage keeping me at distance I also do a truckload of damage once I close the distance, as demonstrated by the 140+ damage grab I did on you, I hit pretty hard.

Post by: Chibalt on 2016 Mar 18, 18:39:40
Did you not put in enough Defense points? Reduces damage from attacks a bit. Though to be fair that spinning throw was actually a move I can do, must've been pretty shocking to see it take off almost as much as your Synergy Burst by itself.

Edit: Oh and how did it feel to be on the reciever end of my Synergy Burst? It's pretty epic in my opinion.

TBH, I actually find Machamp's to be the weakest (appearance wise). Just punch punch and more punches made out of punches. I'm more of the "blast magic and lasers everywhere" person.

Yeah his attacks are probably some of the most ordinary, but wow do they pack a punch. Have you seen the entrance where he bounces what looks like two cannonballs on his front arms like nothing? When he drops them and they practically crater the ground that pretty much demonstrates how absurdly strong he is.

Oh and did you notice? His Synergy burst literally hits 1000 times.

Haven't seen the intro, haven't played played as him yet. But I did see the combo. Reminds me of a fan-made fighting game with Chuck Norris in it :)
On a side note, does anyone know if there's a way to change your Pokemon's appearance? Like the mirrored enemies?

Haven't encountered a way to do that so I assume it's probably not in the game, for the moment anyways. You'd think Shiny variants would be easy to put in, though then again some shiny colour palettes are... not good to say it lightly.

That's why I usually just call Braixen's burst "Kawaii Bubbles" :)
On a side note, how do you actually pronounce Braixen? I say it like "breaks-en", but I've also heard it said as just "brazen"

I'm getting a little good with Gardevoir now, and even have my own support stratagy with it: use Cubone and then charge up Calm Mind, then when the opponent gets pulled towards you, use the forcefield and basically, they get slammed right into it :)

According to the animé (and whenever Serena calls her Braixen out), they say the former of what you said: breaks-en. Or if you prefer to make a pun out of it: breaks in :P (Y'know... Braixen breaks in? Eh? Eh? *gets pulled off of stage by cane*)

I found a interesting pokken video, but I'm pretty sure you guys may recognize these moves and which character that uses these moves Tekken Inspired moves in pokken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRCUCPg0ciM)

Ok So Basically I have to use other weak pokemon for that mission then. the others that i'm trying to do was make a combo of 100 or more matches, and score at least 35k or more so apparently I know the solution those 2 missions, but it'll take me some luck and have to do it in a 3-pokemon stage.

Quote from: SerebiiPokémon Shuffle - Upcoming Events

Within the Pokémon Daisuki Club newsletter, it has been confirmed that on Tuesday March 29th, two event stages are going to go live. These stages are based on "Angry Pikachu", and more notably, Zygarde 10% Forme. The full details of the stages are not yet known, and these stages are currently only confirmed for Shuffle Mobile, but will likely hit the 3DS version at the same time.


Spoiler: One of my friends confirmed this since the data found for the Angry Pikachu was added already (among other Pokémon), and there's also info regarding Zygarde 50% Forme • show
Note that any Pokémon with a 'dex number of 999 means they're not officially out yet/incomplete.

They look fairly fine to me, though if you mean when playing local multiplayer then yeah, that might happen with all of them since framerate is halved when playing with another person on the same console since it has to render two screens at once, the main and the tablet, mostly due to the assymetric viewpoint of the players.

Actually The pokemon Contest is a lot easier than the original versions. If you migrated your pokemon from R/S/E > D/P/Pl/HG/SS > B/W 1&2 > ORAS, their conditions will stay intact and you finish the rest of the conditions from ORAS by feeding the rest of the pokeblocks without any limits. If you stick to combinations of moves, you'll nail the contest very easily.

Well if you want someone to transfer the item for you, you need someone trustworthy enough to help you with that.

I had a feeling that certain someone disagreed with the information about sun & moon that I provided and said that the information was false, but we'll never know if that's true or not. The picture I posted was sugimori's art style and the unova starters were shown before B/W 1&2 were released.

Not to mention spreading the word too. I hope the information that my friend provided me with the picture (which i posted here) is real and true.

I don't think anyone here has any opinions or take on the picture (which i posted) and provided sun & moon information on the starters, but who knows. The other information that i picked up from my friend is that someone in gamefaqs said that the picture is sugimori's art style and gen 5 starters did get shown before Black & White 1/2 were released.

First of all, WHY DO WE ALWAYS GET IT LATER THAN EVERYONE ELSE?!
Second, those new starters are...interesting. As much as I hate spoiling future Pokemon for myself, I may have to see their evolutions first before I pick.

Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2016 May 10, 20:21:59
I believe Rikaria is right. There's no explanation why there's no pokemon Z just yet, but as rikaria said if it bothers you about the Z version, just e-mail and ask the pokemon company. If they said pokemon Z isn't gonna be made, it can't be helped and you have to accept their opinions and move on to the next version. We don't know when they're gonna release the other forms of zygarde other than it's 50% form and distribute them through event.

It seems that the picture I shown here was just a blind guess, but i'm pretty sure the picture wasn't yet finalized.

Has anyone else noticed about the Legendary pokemon on Sun version that looks a little bit mixed version of reshiram and pyroar?

Well a youtuber named abdallah (which i mentioned before) has that same analysis video. As for the starter, I'm leaning towards over rowlet, but hopefully at some point of the game and able to breed, I can get all the starters through trade.

There's been a lot of talk about which starters they're getting and what legend people want. The information that I need are just exclusive pokemon and new mega evolution pokemon.

I'm guessing that had to be one of those people who were using the pokemon that aren't released like ditto and shiny genesect unless you got a different story to tell.

I agree with Rikaria. There's a customer support and you can contact them by e-mail and like I said if they're not making pokemon Z, it can't be helped and you have to accept what they're telling you and move on. I've contacted a gaming company's customer support by phone and asked what my question was and My problem was solved and we're not joking.

Well Like I said it's a lot harder than the previous mystery dungeon games and there will be at some points of the game where you can't re-stock for items so if you're at dungeons that has midpoints, you can always go back to the beginning of the dungeon and re-stock as you can also not to mention that you won't get the time to grind as well.

Any Idea which starter and partner pokemon you picked? I do suggest Pikachu as a starter and either Charmander or Fennekin or a Water-Type as your partner.

I wanted to go with whatever the personality quiz gave me. Which was Squirtle. It offered me Riolu as partner but I said no and actually did choose Fennekin because that's the starter that I used in X.

What I want to know is why did they up the difficulty? Did they legitimately want to create a new "The Answer"?

You do realize that every pokemon mystery dungeon games gets more difficult than the last game and every new generation of pokemon games will get a lot harder. I did mention this before why the game got more difficult

1. You won't have the time to grind, farm items & money, and rank up.

2. There will be some points at the game where you can't shop and restock your items so you have to use the pelipper island for your shopping needs. if there are dungeons that has a checkpoint (or middle point), you can always go back to the beginning of the dungeon and find the shop and farm money as much as you can.

3. The stars on the dungeon determines the difficulty

4. There are no training gyms like in Gates to Infinity so you'll have to upgrade your moves manually by using them more often and/or drink PP-Up, Power, and accuracy drinks however the drinks will only take affect if it's the move you used last.

5. The Hunger is back so your belly will drain quickly in terms of searching for the stairs and using the alliance moves

6. Friend rescues restrictions will apply in some dungeons.

7. There are no ribbons & bands to help you so you have to use looplets and emeras. When using emeras, plan carefully what you apply on.

and 8. There's no Quick save so you have to use a progress device. Always carry 1 or 2 devices

It's true that the personality quiz is back, but if you don't like the pokemon that was chosen by the quiz, you can change your starting and partner pokemon.

Like what's the difficult part of the game for you? if you remember what I said from my last post, it will get difficult as you progress in the game. Every Pokemon Mystery dungeon game will get harder than the last. I have no problems with Rescue Team, Explorers, Gates to infinity, and Super Mystery Dungeon. It's all about being strategic and restocking your items.

You gotta be careful when picking on tough enemies otherwise you'll gulp up most of your reviver seeds when fighting them so it's best to take advantage of your alliance moves. If you do get blizzard and heat wave, you can set those as an alliance move to improve the chances of wiping the enemies in the whole room including monster houses.

The official Sun/Moon site also had this: "In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, there is a QR Scanner function that allows you to see information about Pokémon when you scan QR Code patterns. With the QR Scanner, you scan in a QR Code and check the information about the Pokémon that corresponds to that QR Code. There are QR Code patterns in various places all around you, so try scanning them."

Serebii also posted this: "It has been confirmed that Pokémon Sun & Moon will be featured on Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 on June 14th 2016 which feature new information and developer stories, while Pokémon GO will have a Q&A on June 15th 2016 and an E3 2016 Pokémon Special on June 16th 2016.

The new moves are very good though, but the secondary effects seems good which it acts like reshiram and zekrom's abilities.

I agree with rikaria about your complaints. If you listened what I said about the game, you're making yourself get frustrated with the game. As I told you before it gets tougher as you progress through the game and at some points of the game, you won't be able to re-supply your items and stick to 1 shop in 1 town at a time so if you need to re-stock at least travel the towns and continents to re-supply yourself. If you entered the dungeon that had midpoints, you can go back to the beginning of the dungeon and farm items and you won't lose items and money if you got back to the beginning of the dungeon. There will be some points of no return so if you need to do your shopping needs, at least go to pelipper island and do some shopping there as long as you have money in the deposit box.

I had a friend who was like that, but he hated status inducing moves like paralyze and confusion and my friend gave me some advice what to do with his rage and frustration and as my friend told me and relayed the message to him
QuoteRaging at the game or other players doesn't change the logic of the game.


So honestly if you're gonna rage at pokemon games, then pokemon games may not be your thing regardless how difficult and challenging the games are. You just need to take your time and enjoy the game and as we all know that it's just a game.

Sure that pokemon super mystery dungeon can get difficult, but if you're underleveled and you're dying that easily, then you have to keep going back at the beginning of the dungeon, grind, money make, and farm items as you can. You can always go back to the point where you last saved so save often otherwise you'll be taking a major rollback where you last saved.

Every Generation of pokemon games can get difficult if you don't plan your team, moves, and re-stock your items more carefully. Rushing through the game can lead you to defeat if your pokemon is underleveled and you haven't stocked up enough items so always go back and grind as you can.

I may have rushed through pokemon super mystery dungeon, but i always go back, resupply my items, and repeat the process. That's it.

You know what? i will speak for everybody in this thread that it's just a game. My friend was right about people who rage at games. She said and told me that raging will not change the logic of the game and will not make the game better. You do realize that if you continue, then gaming including pokemon isn't your thing. That's just a warning from my friend. Rikaria is right. You need to quit complaining, and get things over with. No pokemon games can affect you or other people in real life. You can't judge that pokemon games affect in real life problems.

If you want to get better at pokemon games, you gotta calm yourself down, try again, re-think your strategy, and run it again. I'm pretty sure other people here agree with me on that.

Most of us have played pokemon games for many years and none of us are affected by the pokemon games. I've been playing pokemon games since i was 5th grade and then 6th grade, but mostly it's 6th grade that i started since pokemon stadium 1 then got my interest on pokemon back since 2003 which was the original ruby that I started.

All Pokemon games are meant to be fun. There's no pokemon games that will affect you IRL and I have a question: how does pokemon games affect you like that? there's no side effects or anything like that.

Well apparently I narrowed down his problems, but the 3 I know are complaining, rage, and his mental that's messing him up although I still agree with my friend that he shouldn't be playing pokemon or any other games if this continues. Blaming us isn't gonna make him any feel better and change the logic of the games including pokemon.

My guess is just to ignore his complaints about how pokemon games affect him irl, and blaming us pokemon fans and players till he learns his lesson, gets things over with, and takes my advice. As I said that there are no pokemon games affect people irl. It's all about fun & adventure nothing else. Excitement doesn't affect whatever leads him.

All I can ask him is answer the question that I asked him and take a break from playing pokemon games.

Quote from: SerebiiFor those of you in North America, the Virtual Console games, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team for GameBoy Advance, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team for Nintendo DS and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky for Nintendo DS are to be added to the Nintendo Wii U Virtual Console on June 23rd 2016. Prices have yet to be confirmed for the games. More Pokémon Virtual Console titles have been promised for North America over the Summer so keep checking back for news.

Whew.

Now that I'm finally finished with the new Persona 3 FES "The Answer" that was Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon...

I'm going to try to move on to Sun/Moon now. Even though there still isn't an explanation for what happened to Pokemon Z and I still want an explanation.

Either way...

Let's talk about the Experience Share again.

It needs to remain the same IMO. Because grinding is a pain and annoying.

Keep it the same and give experience to all pokemon in the party please...

^-^

Well you already got your answer about pokemon Z so it's not gonna help speed up the process on the release. If you rush on the release, then the game will be incomplete and unstable till the patch arrives for these bugs & glitches. You already know what happened back in X/Y's Lumiose city which is that most people complained that they saved in the city and got stuck there so they waited for the patch to happen

As for the exp. share, that's the reason why exp. share was in key items. I always keep it off to make it challenging.

Y'all are talking about the new games already...I just picked up Alpha Sapphire, which is the first game i've touched since Emerald.  It's the same....yet so different.  I am looking up moves left and right cause i've never heard of them before.  And finding pokemon with rare moves or abilities is a fun new thing I get to do :D

Well All the mechanics are the same although the new mechanics were added in ORAS, but some were added from X/Y. The Pokemon Contest is easy to do now so apparently you can raise your pokemon's condition without any limit and any pokemon you migrated from R/S/E will have their conditions left the way you want them and then you can finish increasing their condition in ORAS also not only that, but it will reward you a certificate for migrating pokemon from R/S/E. The layouts and areas are different from the original version.

Since ORAS is a lot easier than the original, then you should have no problem at all since the exp. share mechanic is the same as X/Y's, but if you want to make things a challenge, just keep exp. share off.

Well the exp. share mechanic from X/Y was the same as R/S/E's exp. all without any exp penalties, taking up room in item slots, and holding the item to your pokemon. You need pokemon bank to transfer pokemon, but any hold items will be sent to the bag so if you want to transfer both pokemon and items, you just need someone trustworthy enough to help you transfer without being scammed. Try doing the whole pokemon contest with a shiny pokemon.

There's some issues with pokemon go just to let you guys know, but these are the issues I know about

The Battery will drain fast than usual
and It's pretty much buggy although there are server Traffic going on.

also another thing about the app is that it's optimized for smartphones, but not for tablets so read the description of the app more carefully when downloading the app.

edit: there are some pokemon sun & moon fan art, but I found these 2 on EQD's drawfriend stuff

[quote=Serebii]The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Sun & Moon. As always, do note that translations are preliminary while we work on them. The bear is called Kiteruguma and is Normal/Fighting with the abilities Fluffy and Klutz, while the ghost is Mimikkyu and is Ghost/Fairy. It has the ability called Disguise.
People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger.
Mimikkyu hates sunlight, preferring dark places. It is rumoured that the cloth covering its body is a strategy to avoid the sun. Don't try to remove the cloth it is said that those that do become afflicted with an illness.[/quote]

well for starters, The criminals may target victims for robberies and other stuff they do by using the beacon feature and lure ppl to them also My friend told me that there has been car accidents lately when people are playing pokemon go app in the car so I'm guessing it could be reckless and/or bad drivers, but some tend to hold up the traffic.

also the App has an update, but it's for iOS users. if android users, well I don't know when that will come. If you guys are using iOS, please refer to the update notes at the app store.

If you guys hear any news about pokemon go app lately, just spread'em here. We just need to know the warning and danger sides about the app so we can be ensure of our safety.

This Thread has been going slow lately and Pokemon Go has been the biggest talk around right now. We should be talking about pokemon go for now since it's already been released. All I can ask is how's pokemon go treating you guys so far? I did hear a lot of complaints from people that there hasn't been much of a co-op play in their areas, but I do have a advice and suggestion for them, go to places where it's crowded like the mall areas or meet-ups (streetpass meetups work too)

Here's my friend's advice for you those of you guys that are playing pokemon go

QuoteRemember everybody, if you see folks playing Pokemon GO, and they're nice/friendly, make them feel welcome.

This is it. This is our chance to make gaming and Pokemon a perfectly normal and socially acceptable activity, such as watching/playing sports, rollerblading, etc. Seriously, don't screw it up.

Pokemon is for everybody. It doesn't matter if Pokemon GO is their first game, or if they've been playing for years. Embrace new players, and show that they are always welcome to be one of us.

Happy hunting!

It's no big deal anyway. I've been checking back with serebii more often than usual and see what news is coming up for sun/moon versions. As for the videos, i've already subscribed the gamexplain, the official pokemon channel, and nintendo to check out some information and analysis on sun/moon versions.

We already know how slow this thread is going right now and there's not much pokemon games to talk about besides sun/moon and pokemon go right now and the app is the big talk of it. I'm pretty sure that some of us have iPhone 4 which the app can't support as I know about and some of us are just waiting for the opportunity to upgrade the phones into iPhone and/or android just to play pokemon go.

Speaking of the sun & moon version, the pictures I posted from dA (via EQD's drawfriend stuff recently), we can use'em on the 1st post too, but i wish there was a banner version for them.

If you guys are having issues playing pokemon Go on your smartphones, What I know so far is that you're using an iPhone 4 so you need a iPhone 6 or better. If android, I'm not sure, but you need the latest model for android phones

also another advice for pokemon go app. Be sure to check your surroundings and stay alert at all times. I know some places aren't safe to go, play, and hunt and some places are restricted where you can go hunting at like the emergency service places.

I know a lot of people have been risking their lives playing the app, but they haven't been staying alert and checking their surroundings at all times.

As for the new pokemon, When I looked at mimikyu, I was like oh wow A pikachu wannabe pokemon. Comfey caught my attention for the ability, but it seems cool to have one.

For those of you guys that are planning on getting pokemon go, well if you think that there's a problem playing it other than smartphone reasons, well if you guys are staying at home and don't go out often as I do, I would suggest Not getting it although if you go out weekly for shopping and groceries, those will work.

I... I don't know how I feel about this... the Alola Forms part, I mean. I like Vulpix and Ninetales, but what warrants these and other Pokémon to get different looks and typing? Wouldn't it be kinda unfair to the others, or are they treating them the same way as Mega Evolutions in which they're underused?

Also, are we getting Gym Leaders or not?

Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2016 Aug 01, 22:23:30
Well my reactions or opinions on the new pokemon, forms, and moves. 50ft tall Exeggutor. That's gotta be the tallest of grass types next to tropius. I was interested in the new vulpix and ninetales forms although they do look cute though. This is the 1st that we've seen a Ice/Fairy type from ninetales and Ice/Steel Type from sandshrew family.

As for the solar Blade, I believe it's the physical attack version of solar beam, but I do wonder if it will do 1-move execution when sunny day / Drought / Desolate Land are in effect. It's pretty neat though.

For the dancing birds, The ability can only copy dance-like moves such as sword, quiver, fiery, and rain dance although I still like talonflame better among the other flying types.

Fomantis and Lurantis does seem to catch my interest though.

I did hear people saying that they did a phoenix wright reference in sun & moon version which is the gumshoos.

I was impressed by the Z-Move (although it does remind me a lot like soultimate moves in yo-kai watch). The question is that what's gonna happen to the mega evolution?
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [new main games revealed!]
Post by: Stardust Dragon on 2016 Aug 01, 22:50:22
I burst out laughing at Exeggutor: it just looks so dopey, I love it.  I've got to wonder how you change form for all those Pokemon: does it just happen, or do they have to be born in that form?  Going off past experience I'd guess that you can change form more or less at will, which is good because I literally just rebred my Sandslash Dustin and Ninetails Yumi.
And Bellossom would be perfect for the Alola region, now I'M going to be mad if nothing happens with it!

I saw this first on Pokemon's main site, but here's a little more detail on it: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/08/01/pokemon-company-announces-interactive-z-ring-toy
Seems we're going to get a toy version of the Z-Ring that actually can activate when you use an in-game Z-Move.  Kinda gimicky, but I actually kind of like the idea, in the nerdiest way possible: I might actually buy physical Pokemon goods for that one. 
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [new main games revealed!]
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2016 Aug 01, 23:41:17
Well I'm hoping for new mega evolutions like flygon, milotic, and the rest of the starters. I think that some water, grass, and ground types should deserve a mega evolution in alola region.

For those of you guys that are still playing pokemon go, I heard reports that the app will die easily also some of the stores will not take any pre-orders on pokemon go plus device. They'll sell out fast once they're in-stock at the stores. That's what I heard when I got the arceus code card from gamestop so who knows what's gonna happen to these pokemon go plus device.

[quote=Serebii]The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Sun & Moon. The little sandcastle is called Sunabaa while the big one is called Shirodesuna. Both are Ghost/Ground-type. Pre-evolved Bewear is called Nuikoguma and remains Normal/Fighting. And the fish is Yowashi which is a Water-type and appears to have the ability to change its appearance from its Single Form into a larger fish, its School Form. Alolan Meowth & Marowak are also confirmed. Alolan Meowth is Dark-type while Alolan Marowak is Fire/Ghost-type. Alolan Meowth developed after being bred by the royal family of Alola. Alolan Marowak developed in response to its natural predators in order to resist them. We also see the first bits of the antagonist team, Team Skull. Its boss is called Guzma and the girl is Plumeri. Next month's issue will contain a poster featuring Rockruff's "Secret Evolution".

Well Usually the antagonist teams like team flare and skull are meant to be revealed later on in the anime. The Sun & moon the anime series are ways off so we're still on X/Y/Z season right now. It's most likely that japan will reveal it later on because they're a couple of episodes ahead of us in the US and the new episodes in japan are every thursdays in the US.

Grabbed from Serebii (though cleaned a bit):

"During the Gamescom presentation by Battle Director Shigeki Morimoto, we learned some new information about Sun & Moon. First, we saw a new, Normal-type Z-Move used by Pikachu called Hyper Sprintangriff in German (translates to Hyper Sprint Attack).

In addition to this, a new Pokémon was shown: Turtonator. It's a Fire/Dragon-type Pokémon with the Shell Armor Ability and a new move called Shell Trap (which will cause the opponent to get hit by an explosion of damage if it hits Turtonator in the same turn)."

I heard that pokemon go will be enforcing their bans although I'm not really sure how long these bans will last, but the banned players will be given a means to appeal their bans. I don't think these pokemon go players should get a 2nd chance in the game even though one of those cheats is just hacks and the others are bots, 3rd party ads, and such. hopefully they'll learn their lesson someday.

It looks like pokemon go died out too quickly. It lost 15mil active players since last month (july). Looks like I was right about pokemon go dying too fast, but hopefully if the update comes with new pokemon and Pokemon Go Plus, it will regain players back also not to mention the amount of lives people spent when playing pokemon go.

here's the news on pokemon go from facebook

QuoteAxiom Capital Management's metric of the game's daily active users showed the game had a peak of about 45 million on July 17. By Aug. 16, the number of daily active users was just over 30 million.

For those of you guys that are still playing pokemon go, the pokemon go plus device will be released on september 16. I'm pretty sure they'll sell out fast as i told you guys before so it'll be hard to get one if you didn't pre-order the device.

now as for pokemon sun & moon, if raticate gets an alola form, then it's most likely that persian, exeggcute, pichu, pikachu, and cubone will get an alola form as well. The photo mode looks nice even though it's bringing back memories of pokemon snap although with new scoring and comment system as well except for apples and pester balls.

Same here.  I hope it's on the new soundtrack.  I was probably going to buy it anyways, because I admit Pokemon has me glued to the brand, and once again Nintendo music.
Although whatever instrument shows up way late into it made me think I was killing my headphones because there was a sort of crackling in the right earpiece.  But it came out of my laptop's speakers too, so I suspect it's just part of the track...

Also, can we take a second to appreciate the fact that there's a Magikarp houseboat (about 9/10 seconds in)?  That's both hilarious and amazing: I love those kinds of little things in these games.  Gives the world just a hair more personality.

Well, that just happened.

Can anyone tell me real quick of Zekrom is actually shiny locked in AS or not?  I thought it was, but I want to be sure before I know for certain this shiny, 6IV Zekrom I just got of Wonder Trade is hacked.

Edit: Guess I'm kinda panicking for nothing here.  It seems like everything falls within legal values for Zekrom, IVs do check out with it's stats (factoring in complete EV training) and since I don't play competitively I probably shouldn't see any issue from this thing showing up in my box.  Does that sound accurate to anyone else here?  It's just the first time I've gotten something that screams "this was hacked", so I'm a little paranoid there's going to be lasting harm to my game, which my research doesn't support.

[quote=Serebii]The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Sun & Moon. The name of the Pokémon Rockruff evolves into is Lugarugan and has a different appearance based on if it evolves during daytime or nighttime. Rockruff becomes the Midday Form when bathed in the rays of the sun and when full of the night's power, it becomes the Midnight Form. No types or further details have been given. There are also two Ultra Beasts called UB02, UB02 Beauty and UB02 Expansion. In the scan, it shows UB02 Expansion appearing in Pokémon Sun, facing off against Tapu Koko and UB02 Beauty facing off against Tapu Koko in Pokémon Moon. It also states that UB01's name is a mystery but may have a deep meaning. It also reveals that it will show the true strength of the new Pokémon, Type: Null, during its next issue.

My friend told me that there's been a problem with this pokemon go update. She said that this update killed it for her and told me that "They put an update that keeps rooted and jailbroken phones from playing the game" so she said that the only possible solution to this problem is to remove the root if that's the possibility of removing it so if you guys are having this same problem, i may be guessing that you can just do the same solution as she did.

As for pokemon sun & moon versions, I heard people are waiting for the starter evolutions and conflicted on who to choose.

I thought the demos like that doesn't take that much space in the SD cards like ORAS demo. My friend told me about it and said that both her and her brother doesn't have room in their SD cards and according to their problem, their SD cards don't have that much space as they started out. I don't know what they have been doing to get their SD cards full that way, but If I had to guess, it could be the DLCs they've been getting (or 3DS themes).

I do wonder if we're gonna get pokemon sun & moon 3DS theme like we got the pokemon super mystery dungeon and other pokemon 3DS themes.

Nothing says you have to use it even if you get it: I never used the Torchic I got in X, just boxed it straight away.
Since the demo is free, if you have the space for it I don't see a reason not to indulge your Pokemon interests a bit before the game's release.

Well You should get and play the demo. The Sun & moon demo treats as ORAS demo except that you get ash-greninja this time. It cost about around 3k blocks to your SD card. It's not cheap and possibly cheating. It helps how you will start sun & moon when they get released to the retail just like ORAS demo.

It depends on the battle rules. If you're using Smogon's rules, they can be strict sometimes with the tiers and banned pokemon so I don't play by those rules. The official pokemon Battle rules, well it all depends on the restrictions. If you play by Anything Goes rules, then it's ok to use ash-greninja by that kind of rule.

It's most likely that most people won't battle against you if you don't play by the rules other than anything goes rules regardless of the battle format. if you're planning on playing FFA battle (the battle royale to be more specific enough), then you should be good.

First off...

I think Team Skull has played too much TWEWY. Speaking of which... where's my The World Ends With You 2?  :l

To be honest... I tried to get into this gen... I really did... but...

I'm not a huge fan of it. I was used to the gyms and all this change is in the wrong direction if you ask me. Some of these 'pokemon' don't even seem like pokemon.

I just don't know....  :s

I've also decided to use Ash-Greninja when I get Pokemon Sun. I'm not a huge fan of this gen and I've decided that it'll be my 'payback' for them not making Pokemon Z.

Seriously. They should have made Pokemon Z. You don't end a pattern. You just don't.  >:/

It doesn't matter how much you complain about it. Pokémon Sun/Moon's demo is the most downloaded demo out of all of Nintendo's library, and the full games are the most pre-ordered/pre-loaded (again, out of Nintendo's library) as well. It was also mentioned that they're interested in making more remakes, thus putting Diamond/Pearl next in line.

In short: unless they think MILLIONS OF PLAYERS will want it, Pokémon Z is NOT happening.

Every new generation of pokemon will get harder from this point on including pokemon mystery dungeon series so you gotta be more careful what you do.

I do have to agree with rikaria and my friend on Pokemon Z release. If we said that if pokemon Z is not happening, it's not happening. You gotta Deal (or wing) with what we got so far and move on to the next version.

Speaking of Sun & moon versions, I probably missed the pretty wings. I haven't thought about getting them and completely missed the chance.

I believe that the game isn't finalized if it's released that early before the release date. If people would get sun & moon that early, then it's most likely that the game will be unstable until the update arrives.

I believe that my suspicions are correct. The sun & moon versions was suppose to be released worldwide at the same date, but not at a early date. To include the part of the information from here, I picked this information up from someone and said
QuoteIt is true, some people have access to the full version of Sun and Moon. They weren't obtained through legal means though, they downloaded the preload and managed to hack the game to be able to play it. Nintendo has already started taking actions about this on places like Youtube and Twitch (yes, someone was actually streaming the game) and getting those people banned or blocked. Be extremely careful of spoilers on social media.


It seems that you guys missed that part of the information and didn't say that people would be able to get access to the full version of sun & moon and downloaded the preload and hack the game.

I think you missed my point.  I was looking for evidence that this was happening, not someone's wild accusations.  I don't doubt that this was possible, not from the outset anyways, but I can't take the point seriously if it doesn't have actual evidence to prove it's truth.  Where did AC3D get their information?  How do we know that this is actually how people have managed it?

I'd link one of them but a) I don't know if you'd be ok with that, and b) Getting the games through that method is illegal, so I'd rather not spread the leaks. A lot of information has already been datamined, such as changes to old Pokémon, abilities, as well as base stats of new Pokémon, their movepools, etc. I've been avoiding plot details as much as possible, but I do know screenshots for that exist.
so apparently we can't spread this around even though the "word filter" part on what he said is part of that forum rule that we can't break so pretty much the info stops there.

What we said about nintendo taking actions in this matter is normal and they do have the right to do so in removing videos off from youtube, twitch, and other social medias and as my friend told me if they do find out who leaked the games, then probably we're guessing that it's not gonna be pretty.

I knew about the Sun/Moon video takedowns from like a week ago, and I heard about the banning thing from news sites this morning. As much as I'd like to go into that topic further, I'd rather not since it can lead to a sensitive topic.

With that being said, which version are you all gonna get, and who will be your starter?

I'm sorely tempted to get both, especially after learning Alolan Ninetails is Sun only, but there's no way I'm not starting at least with Moon.  Probably going to go with Rowlet for that run.  If I get Sun afterwards, it's going to be Popplio.

Well people got a 15-day ban for pirating the sun & moon versions, but if they did something in the past, it's permanent ban for them. A youtuber named PurpleRodri, pokefan International, and a few other youtubers have gotten a ban hammer for this. 15-day ban is nothing, but a permanent will teach those people a lesson.

Here's an article about it just in case if you guys need to know (http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-dishing-out-online-bans-to-pokemon-sunmoon-pirates/)

Looks like I made the right choice in choosing the sun version.

Anyway just to let you guys know that Target is having that pokemon promtional event this saturday (november 19) and providing a poster and a pikachu card at 11AM-2PM PST. It's ok for you guys to go if you guys want the opportunity to streetpass people with pokemon X/Y/ORAS and Sun & moon versions, not to mention meet & greet, trades, and battle as well also toys r us is having that same promotional which is november 20 as well, but not sure on the time though. I may be thinking it's the same time.

We're getting double sided poster for those that pre-ordered pokemon sun & moon at gamestop. The nearby gamestop store I go to opens around at 10-11AM PST so I only go when it opens, but if they don't have the game just yet, then I have to wait a little longer or a day. There's not gonna be many people at the time since people have school and work during that time (even though it's not the best time and day for me to streetpass people).

Darn it! I didn't ask for those pins in the 1st place, but all of a sudden, me and my friend got the poster along with the genesect event card. No one told me about that so All I knew was the poster if you pre-ordered pokemon sun & moon.

Well anyway as for my sun & moon progress, I wasn't expecting to get a pokerus that early in the game right now.

Just box the Pokémon with Pokérus for the time being if you need to.

Well you could've told us that in the 1st place. I was checking out the festival plaza, but I have to go through the tutorials for that. I'm guessing the festival plaza works as spot and streetpass as well?

I probably benched misdreavus in to the PC just to let you know. If it's only a temporary trade till you spread pokerus, I'm ok with that. (not to mention that you have to skype me again in terms of online activity) plus I still have you on my 3DS friend roster.

Wait a min. That's the glitch that my friend mentioned. She warned me about this and said
QuoteDo not save your game in a Pokemon Center or at the Battle Tree. There have been many people who have had their save files corrupted by doing this. Upon loading their game, players' character models have not loaded properly, or they have been placed inside of a wall and are unable to escape. This may be addressed in a future update, but for the time being don't risk destroying your save file


So apparently I don't have any additional information and proof to confirm this. If that glitch is true, then we may need to avoid some areas and where we save.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [Sun & Moon are out!]
Post by: Rikaria on 2016 Nov 23, 00:00:12
That "glitch" is actually due to a... certain program people shouldn't be using. I will NOT say what it is here since I'm highly against what the "method" involved is.

I will say this much, though: if you don't modify your 3DS at all, you're 100% fine and will NOT get this "glitch".
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [Sun & Moon are out!]
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2016 Nov 23, 00:15:49
My Friend said it's a anti-hack thing going on so Apparently he read some of the posts around in gamefaqs. For us legit players and haven't modified the 3DS, We should be fine right? I'm just asking to confirm so I can spread this around

My friend told me that this issue has been happening to legit players so we can't be too sure on this just yet and it would be a good idea to avoid this for now to be on the safe side. If there are videos shown like this on youtube, then probably those videos are the only proof and evidence we need to confirm the issue.

Wow lucky you. I got the poster and pikachu card from target last saturday. Well When I was trying to get the poster and pikachu card at target, I thought it was gonna be at the electronics and game section so when I asked the staff around where the pokemon promotional event is being held at, I was redirected to the seasonal section to get the poster and pikachu card. I also did take some pictures of the starters while I was there, but it's on my 3DS.

If you guys want it now, you guys better let me know right away or contact me in any other way (via discord, skype, or steam).

There's also Pokemon R/B/Y that's available for 3DS eShop so you can get one of the if you have the money on your eShop account. You can get sun & moon demo if you want to try the game out, but you're limited to some activities and you'll get some goodies prepared for the full version of the game.

As of pokemon sun & moon, it's not that tough if you're using exp share and pokemon refresh, but if you want to fully enjoy the game, just don't use exp share and pokemon refresh.

Moneymaking is tough so I don't know any moneymaking tips right now. All I know is selling Star pieces, star dusts, nuggets, comet pieces, and pearls.

I dunno if there's a bundle for both 3DS and pokemon sun & moon. If there was, then it would be digital copy and the price would be expensive for the bundle. I may suggest start searching for the bundle and see if you're ok with the price. If you buy both the game and the system used, then you may wanna check for the system's conditions first such as if the controls work, top screen not broken, able to run the game, and doesn't turn on and off unexpectedly.

Well Apparently I spend my money on supplies depending on the situation I'm in. If 1 amulet coin isn't enough for me, I just use luck incense. I normally buy like about 10 or more potions, full heals, and revives depending on how much money I have. If I want to save money over full heals, I can just produce Lum berries that way.

Another way to make money is poke pelago and you need to have isle aphun at rank 3, but of course it would take a day to get the items.

I wasn't even sure if that's true or not. I mean I got the pokerus that early in the game, but It seems that I wasn't the only one who got it.

The Trade evolutions are always the same as usual. As of legendaries go, Well If you want solgaleo, you gotta get your cosmoem near level 52 which is at level 52 at around 800-1k exp left for next level and then transfer cosmoem to your sun version and level the cosmoem. Same goes for Lunala.

Well It's not that bad. I'm almost done with the pokedex as well. It's just that I need the evolution trades and version exclusive pokemon including the UBs.

I got myself a first shiny pokemon which is the shiny golduck while I was grinding my pokemon for evolution at the poni gauntlet.

I have some tips and advice for sun & moon.

If you guys are looking for HA pokemon, There's a way to tell without using Trace. If the HA is weather-based like snow warning, drought, drizzle, sand stream, and/or cloud nine, that's easy to tell as you chain the pokemon that has the ability through SoS Battle. If HA eevee, well you need a fighting-type pokemon, but I would highly suggest using fighting-type pokemon with a fighting type move although I would suggest using lucario for this job since eevee's use sand-attack and the HA is anticipation so you'll know which eevee has it.

If you're having trouble catching ghost and steel type pokemon, I would suggest bringing one of the tapus. Their nature's madness can ignore pokemon types and defense so I guess they're like your alternative pokemon for false swiping.

The reason I was complaining is I hadn't bred for IV's before, now that I got into the flow of it it's not that bad! ^-^

3/6 Of my Pokémon have been bred!

There's a particular way to get a 6IV ditto in sun & moon now however it takes some preparations to do this. Here's what you need

Smeargle with Recycle. It has to be holding a smoke ball in case if you can't encounter ditto
Pokemon With swicheroo such as hypno with leppa berry - This is highly recommended in case ditto is holding something
a False Swiper
Pokemon that can use memento and memento has to be the only move remaining
and Adrenaline orb(s)

When doing this, Here's what you do when getting 6IV ditto

Put Smeargle in the front and then on the 1st turn, use adrenaline orb and ditto will transform into smeargle. On 2nd turn, switch to hypno and then use switcheroo on the following turn, and then switch to false swiper till ditto's HP is reduced to 1 and then switch to the pokemon with Memento Move and then keep using adrenaline orb till you get 6IV ditto.

The Downside part of this is the cost of the shiny ditto if it has imposter, but if you're aiming for both 6IV and shiny ditto, then the shiny ditto shouldn't have imposter ability.

I did that to get two 4 IV Dittos instead, 6 IV is a 1/1024 chance.

It's pretty much hard to tell if there's a 6IV ditto unless caught. The only way to cover that is to hyper train a 4-5IV ditto with bottle caps.

I heard that lostsanity was waiting on the walkthrough from gamefaqs and I said he doesn't need gamefaqs for pokemon games. They're just straightforward games. Yeah sure, you need it, but not required or needed to clear the game. With the changes in sun & moon, it's a lot easier to tell where you going and where your destination is thanks to the mini-map changes. Serebii is the guide for everything for your pokemon needs. Everybody else doesn't need a walkthrough from gamefaqs and a guidebook

I'm almost done with the pokedex although my friend needs help with the trade evolutions which i'm gonna do and then get the moon exclusives off from her, but the problem is that i need the moon exclusive UBs to finish the dex which are pheromosa, and Celesteela although my friend that was gonna give me the pokemon to cover the dex won't be able to do UBs till she decides to do them. As my other Friend told me that Pokemon Company is strict on hacked pokemon so I rather avoid GTS and wonder trade for now.

Bottle caps and hyper training are worthless, they don't change the IV's so they don't transfer through breeding. Regardless, I am done breeding!

Do you still have Pokerus @KirbyFluttershy ?
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [Sun & Moon are out!]
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2016 Dec 16, 14:54:31
I still have pokerus, but a couple of my pokemon have it now. It's hard to keep the effect though. I can just pass on to one of the pokemon with pokerus to you and then once you spread one to your pokemon, you can give it back to me.

Well you gotta be lucky anyway, but I encountered 2 shiny pokemon which are shiny golduck which i've caught and poliwag through SoS, but didn't contain HA that I want

I hate to ask around, but isn't there any information on the pokemon bank update as of now? I heard that someone else mention that it is being released on the 17th, but I can't be too sure of that unless there's some more information to confirm this.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [Sun & Moon are out!]
Post by: Rikaria on 2017 Jan 03, 22:12:53
All we know for sure is that it'll be available in January, though it wouldn't bother me if it was delayed.

Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2017 Jan 04, 00:25:49
Yeah, but let's not forget the server traffic too as well. If you guys got any further information to confirm that it's the 17th, just provide proof of your information. Rumors, well we'll never know if it's true or not. Right now, my friend said that He hasn't heard anything from TPCi just yet.

Whoops... Forgot to post about this...

The Pokémon Bank and PokéTransporter updates are now live! While handling Pokémon from Gen 6 to 7 is pretty much the same, 1 to 7's a bit different. Obviously other than having to use PokéTransporter for that, the stats (particularly Natures, Abilities, and IV's) given to Gen 1 Pokémon are completely random. Those that use Pokémon Bank within a certain timeframe also get Mew's Z-Crystal.

That explains why my friend has the HA pokemon from R/B/Y.

Not only the pokemon bank and poke transport has been updated, but also pokemon duel is now available to download for iOS and android as well. Pokemon duel isn't that bad, but not only the game tests your strategy also your luck as well.

A very important announcement concerning Sun/Moon (https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/4a33d05d-cd9d-47a4-8eb5-a814771bb64d)

Yeah the ppl who abused power saves will be banned forever. I hope those hacked pokemon will be removed from the GTS and wonder trades. I read the news on nintendoeverything site as well. According to the pokemon-gl news, What they mean by "unauthorized behavior, further restrictive actions may be taken against them without warning.", doesn't that mean the raging quitting stuff like d/c or force shutdown or pressing the home menu and stuff like that? Looks like my friend was right about GTS and wonder trade being restrictive.

Pokemon Duel may be hard than i expected. It's hard to win battles when it comes to playing defensively at the beginning of the game. If anyone here is curious about downloading and playing pokemon duel, my only advice is this, try the game once before you say "i hate it" or any other stuff like that. The energy works the same function as the hearts in pokemon shuffle, but energy usage may vary by match.

No, not ragequitting. Literally modification of the game itself.

I was highly concerned about the other mega stones since the pokemon bank update is out. I was hoping that they would update sun & moon once more for the mega stones other than obtaining them in a online battle competition specifically to buy with BPs.

Admittedly...

This game is more fun than I thought it would be.

Still though. I'm not a huge fan of the new 'Pokemon' and the trials are getting old fast.

Plus my Pokemon are fainting WAY too much.

Team Skull has played to much TWEWY.

The Rotom Dex is giving me deja vu. It's like the support character in the Persona series. I'm almost half expecting it to go like 'There's only one enemy!' or 'The enemy is down! Now's your chance!' Perform All-Out Attack? (A) Yes (B) No.

Spoiler: show
ALSO I FREAKING KNEW THE TRUE VILLAINS WERE THE AETHER FOUNDATION. I WAS SUSPICIOUS OF THEM EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW THEM.


The game isn't bad it's just the new 'Pokemon' aren't great and the trials aren't very exciting.

I'm stuck right after reaching the fourth island.  Not because I'm underleveled or anything, but because I really lost interest in the Pokemon I have for a team.  The new Pokemon this generation I liked just aren't playing how I was hoping for them to play.  It sapped all my motivation to work on it.  I've liked the story so far, but the same thing happened to me in Black2: I just got tired of my team and didn't see enough options or desire to make a new one.

What pokemon were you planning to use on your team? cuz obviously I just change up my team based on the situation and level.

I've been using a Midnight form Lycanroc, Decidueye, Golisopod (which might stick around),  Lurantis, Marowak, Stoutland, Salazzle, and Sandslash in rotation.  But Sandslash, Decidueye and Lycanroc were just huge disappointments.

I am a fan of the Toucannon I picked up, and the Dhelmise, though the latter I have no idea what to do with.  Also considering raising a Pikachu up and using an oldie but goodie for me, Absol.

Well sometimes you gotta switch up your pokemon team if you're not confident with what you have planned so far. If you're gonna use alola raichu, I would suggest breeding one with electric terrain and wish (optional) in a timid nature to outspeed your opponents. I normally use Lurantis for false swiping needs and tapus as my alternative false swiper to ignore defense boost, steel, and ghost-types.

If you want your old team back, you can if you have pokemon bank updated and able to migrate some of your pokemon that you have so far. It may be a good idea to start that from scratch and it will take massive breeding to get the natures and IVs you want.
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [Sun & Moon are out!]
Post by: Stardust Dragon on 2017 Feb 18, 18:27:05
I'm not bothering with breeding until I'm done with the story...and honestly, I'm not sure I care about that either anymore.  I'm never going competitive, why should I spend so much time trying to actually get a team I stole parts from Serebii or Smogon for without even knowing how to use them?  I looked back at my old Pokemon X file and it's 450 hours long...WHY?  I finished the game way early in that timeframe, and all I've been doing is wasting my time making a team of Pokemon that will never see the light of day anywhere but my own mind, and if I can already imagine or write whatever I want, what's the dang point of this?!
Title: Re: General Pokémon Thread [Sun & Moon are out!]
Post by: KirbyFluttershy on 2017 Feb 22, 01:59:01
I'm not a competitive type player either so I just play what i can go with and I normally battle 1 friend and we play anything goes rule just for fun.

If you use a team that serebii and smogon recommended, then most people will know how to counter them easily regardless if they followed the recommended pokemon for the competitive team or not.
