More new Pokémon.

Bewear is going in my party.

And that's pretty much half my team at this point.

Also, Hyper Training lets your raise the IVs of level 100 Pokemon. Have to use Bottle Caps handed over to a special NPC to do it.

I sure as hell hope they're farm-able in some way... Because holy shit.

Well, I'm getting a Mudsdale. Naming it Ziggy.

Flower wreath Pokemon, how cute. Really fits the Hawaiian theme (Even if it's more of a tourist thing these days :lol)

Mimikyu still looks hilarious, and I like how the doll head just tilts over when it's disguise breaks.

I hope Hyper Training is more for Pokemon with lower IVs than anything else (I really, really hated IV breeding). Because, if so, I'm glad Pokemon is tackling this particular barrier of entry

They should just get rid of IV’s really. I don’t understand what it’s supposed to add to the game anyways. EV’s I get, you can build a Pokémon’s stats differently depending on what role it needs to play in your team. But IV’s basically just make any team of an inexperienced player a little worse for no reason, since IV breeding is too confusing and takes too long. I know how it’s done and I have bred perfect Pokémon several times but it’s just way too tiresome.

Well, the problem is that it's hard to just...Get rid of them, unless they force every Pokemon imported into Sun/Moon to just randomly gain a possible 31 points in each stat.

I would like to see them gone, too, though. It's tedious and just plain boring to IV breed 1 Pokemon, let alone a full team. It's nice they're taking steps to close the gap, at least.

Meant to add a bit of randomness so every Pokemon's a little different. Of course people found out about it and exploited the feature like mad though.

You know a few of the Pokemon descriptions this generation are really f*cking depressing.

Yeah, make each Pokemon unique and special. But it's just not that well thought out. A Pokemon's quality shouldn't be determined by an RNG, though they have been taking slow steps to make it more manageable, it's just too flawed a system, especially for someone who prefers to battle.

A lot of Pokemon descriptions can be a tad depressing when you really get into them :lol

I feel so sorry for Bewear man, he's so powerful in universe that he kills his trainer by hugging him, he just wants to be loved and give hugs because it likes hugs but can't.

Squag! Dahahaha! Patar unga Squag! *VICE GRIP*

I got Pokemon Go on my new phone. It's not great, but it can be a fun game to play outside. For a real Pokemon game, I will still have Sun and Moon coming out later this year. I admit that it's making everyone talk about Pokemon again. It makes this year feel like 1998 all over again!

It's kind of cute how a mobile app that most people seem to agree is just average (When it works) is basically starting the Pokemon craze of the 90's all over again.
Seems Nintendo has managed to make lightning strike twice~

A lot of people have Iphones and people will download mobile games for them. I do fear the future of Pokemon will be on Mobile Phones. With a 3DS, I don't have to worry about using up data and I have real controls than touch screen controls. I know Nintendo has a new handle in works with the code name of "MH". I just hope it's not a mobile gaming device (Remember what happen with the N-Gadge. Total flop!).

Well, considering Go wasn't developed by Nintendo or Game Freak, I doubt Nintendo will consider the future of Pokemon is in mobile devices.
Also, Nintendo's handhelds sell like hotcakes. Until that market takes a significant drop (Which I don't anticipate), I doubt they'd just unceremoniously leave it.

Wet Doge still strongest. The new Mr. Tweetums is 3rd. Caught Rapidash this morning-

So a live action Detective Pikachu movie is gonna be a thing

I'm down.
Pokemon movie without Ash being the savior of another prophecy? Count me in.

So... Is there any particular reason why people want Detective Pikachu to be played by Danny devito in the movie?

Because Danny Devito has a peculiar voice and people would think it'd be funny.

What I wanna know is...is Pikachu going to be a guy in a mascot suit or mostly CGI? :lol

It'd be hilariously awkward if it was some guy in a suit the whole ride :lol

Ugh what a mistake they made. After the hype Pokemon Go has had and bringing back older fans into the franchise, basing the first live action movie on this is already a disaster.

I think it's the best decision. It's a movie that features the Pokemon as a star, and not some random kid running around ordering them to do this or that.

Then they should've done one based on Mystery Dungeon if they wanted a Pokemon to be the main star, but that wouldn't work since this is supposed to be a live action movie.

A lot of people thought a live action movie would be based on the anime since more people are familiar with the TV show than anything else.

I would've preferred this route, but for a live action picture, I think Detective Pikachu is still the best option since the leads will be a Pokemon and a human.

That would be the surefire way to make sure it fails.

The anime doesn't need live action movies, it already gets movies. Let the games make it to the big screen for once.

Because video game movies are well known for being big hits...

I didn't say they were. Anime ones do just as bad when made in America.

YYYYYYYESSSS!

Just hatched my first 10k egg and it's a freaking Electabuzz!! Finally have (the stage before technically) my favorite Pokemon! :D

And 32 candy with him! Won't have to find another one ever again haha.

Oh damn! Is that how many the 10k eggs come with!?

Bleh, my first 10km egg was an Eevee...

Anyway, we're getting more Sun and Moon Info on August 1st. Hopefully they give us some story details this time.

Went to another park over the weekend* and it turns out it was another nest. This time, Hitmonlee. Which is good because that's pretty much all we were able to find and not even many at that ha! Going to have to do some research and find some more close to us. Found out where a Dratini nest is and of course it's literally next to the Charmander one I don't want to visit...

Did catch one today though! On my wife's phone. :lol We've been having some disappointing inconsistencies with what our respective phones sees (one's been handling both while the other drives whenever we go out) but I thought it paid off in my favor today. Finally had another chance at a Bulbasaur! And I was still catching it as we passed a lured stop with a Dratini in it lol. Got it for her though at least.

*I am a fool. I did not develop an adequate tolerance to heat growing up in the northeast to be going out for walks in exposed Texas summers.

Nests got reset.

Which is good and I'm glad it's a thing they're doing... but it really sucks to find out by looking online to make sure you have the right place aftee walking around for an hour in the afternoon Texas heat in what you thought was a high spawn Dratini nest getting increasingly distraught over finding nothing because it's now a medium spawn Eevee nest.. which I didn't even find any of. :(

So far nobody in Austin has reported a new Dratini nest in the subreddit at least.. all are Eevee now. And the awesome Vulpix one is now male Nidoran. Darn.

That feeling when you're playing a Randomizer and your entire team is weak to one or two types.

My entire team in an Alpha Sapphire Randomizer is almost completely weak to Fire and Fighting. The only Pokemon I have for Fire Types is Fraxure.

so Vulpix and Sandshrew are now Ice-types in Alola??? weird...

When I saw the thumbnail on Youtube I was stunned when I saw an anorexic Exeggutor at first. My mind is blown from seeing those new versions of past Pokemon.

Here's the english trailer:

Interesting. Are Mega Evolutions not a thing in Sun & Moon anymore? Do the Z-Moves take their place?
