So Volcanion is confirmed for a Gamestop event in October.

...Considering Gamestop no longer exists where i live could anyone spare a code when the event happens?

October? I guess they want to get Volcanion out in America before Sun/Moon is released, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

I live in Europe and shouldn't have ANY difficulty with Volcanion.

Z-Ring costs 2600-ish yen, with more crystals being sold in sets for 645-ish yen. Alternatively, the whole set can be bought for about 2645 yen

What does the Z ring toy actually do?

Oh and don't forget to go get your Arceus available right now at Gamestop. Got two for my games and one for my wife.

What was the other mythical for October as part of the anniversary celebration? Was it online or another Gamestop code?

Lights up, makes noises when you use a Z-Move ingame

Genesect iirc

I didn't know it responded to the games themselves. That actually makes me somewhat interested...

September is Victini and October is Keldeo. Genesect is November and Meloetta is December.

That's all that's left of the Mythical events aside from Volcanion and Magearna's who should be around Sun and Moon's release.

After Volcanion arrives, I'll have gotten 720 different pokemon. I need a fucking Hoopa

I guess having Alola Forms makes me wonder if there will be no Mega Evolution?

I hope not. Alola forms are nice and all, but it doesn't change that the Pokemon are kind of crap.

The Z-Ring has a slot that perfectly fits for a mega stone. Either we're still getting new ones, or ORAS megas will be available

Also I dun goofed. The Z-Ring special set isn't complete, but it has a third of the Crystals

Got 3 extra Deoxys by trading some legendaries around so I finally accomplished that goal (bless ORAS for making it catchable in game). My living dex is closer than it's ever been to being complete. Now I just need to evolve a Spritzee and to get a Diancie, Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect (And of course Volcanion) and I'll be set.

I do feel like normal evolutions and pre-evolutions for past gen Pokemon are probably dead now. I think G4 is last generation to give out normal forms to other past gen Pokemons. I don't want too many Aloha and Mega Evolutions.

I'm guessing it'll be post game stuff.

Shame because i feel like there are some Pokemon that could do with an evolved form.

Gen 6 gave us Sylveon.

I doubt we'll get as large of an amount that Gen 4 gave, since that was ludicrous, but I think past Pokemon might get a few more evos/pre-evos, but they'll only trickle a few in.

I hope there are some normal evolutions of older Pokemon this time around. There are pokemon where a permanant evolution could do wonders for it, not just a mega.

I don't mind having pre-evolutions because they can add a lot to the Pokemon's designs and evolution. Like a pre-evolution for Heracross, Onix and Absol. For Aloha Pokemon, I hope it's not just G1. I feel like Alola Tropius is possible since he fits the theme of the game. It would also be nice if Lunatone and Solrock get something for Sun and Moon.

I kind of want Alola forms for some Pokemon to be references to scrapped Pokemon from older games, like a Buneary and Loppuny who look like the scrapped Flower bunny from Johto.

I want Alolan Shellder

What would that even look like?

I do really hope Alolan forms go to more than just Gen I mons. We just had XY, which were basically giant Generation I nostalgia trips what with the starters, the legendaries, Snorlax, and like 40% of the Megas going to Kanto mons. If the first games in Generation VII also disproportionately push Kanto it's gonna be rather disappointing. I hope there's a hearty amount of Alolan forms with at least some semblance of using all previous Generations at least a little equally.

So...it'd attach to a Slowpoke?

No the idea is there's a version of Shellder that literally is that one attached to the of Slowbro. It just naturally looks like that without attaching to Slowpoke.

Pre-Evolutions/Normal Evolutions, Mega Evolutions and Alolan forms that I want to see in Sun and Moon.

Pre-Evolutions/Normal Evolutions:

Baby Calf Pokemon that can evolve into Miltank, Tauros or Bouffalant similar what they did with Tyrogue for Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop
Heliolisk Evolution (His design always felt a mid evolution to me)
Seviper Evolution
Sudowoodo Evolution (Maybe have his evolution to be a giant old tree to compete his evolution line up. It can look similar to Great Deku Tree from Legend of Zelda: OOT)
Pre-Evolution Absol (A baby Absol would look cute in my opinion)
Pre-Evolution Heracross (Same with Absol)
Pre-Evolution Onix (It would be cool if Onix had a compete evolution line up)

Mega Evolution:

Mega Basculin
Mega Cofagrigus (My idea is to have a mummy that can pop out of the coffin. It can be like a Ghost/Fighting type. I can see it having a design similar to Anakaris from Darkstalkers).
Mega Fearow
Mega Haxorus
Mega Gliscor
Mega Golem
Mega Solrock and Lunatone (I think there is a 90% chance that this will happen)
Mega Spiritomb
Mega Octillery (It can turn into a giant Karken for it's design)
Mega Yanmega (It can be our first Dragon/Bug type Pokemon)

Alolan Forms:

Alolan Arbok (Arbok is in Dragon egg group. Another Poison/Dragon would be cool)
Alolan Delibird (Well tropical penguins do exist in the real world. Maybe Alolan Delibird can be a Water/Flying type)
Aloan Bellossom
Alolan Butterfree (It may happen if the Chainese leak is legit)
Alolan Corsola
Aloan Froslass (We have Fire Types becoming Ice types for Alolan forms so far. Why not have a Ice type become a Fire Type for it's Alolan form? Like Fire/Ghost type)
Alolan Golurk (It would be cool to have it become a giant tiki. Maybe a Ground/Fairy or Ground/Fire type)
Aloan Sunflora (My idea to be a Grass/Fire type. Give it the immunity to Burn, Leech Seed and Powders)
Aloan Staryu and Starmie
Aloan Tropius

OOOOH!!! I thought Matrix was talking about one of the Gen 5 snails...my bad.

Is cool~
Also, got Arceus plush. I is happy Sun Princess.

Concerning Guyver's ideas,
I'm fine with a calf pre-evo for Tauros and Miltank, but I don't want to lump Bouffalant in with them. Onix Pre-evo would be neat, though. Otherwise, I've never been big on pre-evos (Especially when they're babies).
Heliolisk evolution would be weird, since he's a stone evo.

I'm down for pretty much all those Megas, sans Basculin.

As for the Alolan forms, I think the Golurk line, the Starmie line, and Tropius would be pretty cool getting them. Maybe make Starmie more of a sunbathing starfish, so it would be like, Fire/Psychic (Or Fairy) or something. Dunno what to do about Tropius in terms of types, but I've seen some neat alternate designs for it, so I'm game.

As for personal ideas, aside from Alolan Shellder, I'd like to see Alolan Krabby (Make it a Coconut Crab, Rock/Water or Steel/Water), Dragonite (MAKE IT A PRETTY SNAKE AGAIN!), and Hydreigon (King Ghidorah! Dragon/Electric or Electric/Flying)

That's one way to design Alolan Cloyster...

I do like to see what Fossil Pokemon that they can come up with for Sun and Moon. I would like to see a Terror Bird Pokemon and it could be a Rock/Flying type Pokemon.

Back to Platinum.

Cannot beat Maylene.

Some text on the SunMoon website may have revealed the next Alola retyping-


"Kiawe is a captain whose expertise is in Fire-type Pokémon. Together with his Marowak, he studies the traditional dances that have been passed down in the Alola region."

Is that really spoiler material when it's straight off Pokemon's site? :lol

It'll be hilarious if it turns out that Marowak DOESN'T get a new typing. :lol

Plus we've already brought it up before..

Recently with my renewed interest in Pokemon, I've been been feeling like I wasn't nitpicky enough when completing my living Dex. So now I'm trying to get all the Pokemon with minor gender differences from the first four Generations. Unfortunately this is where having more than two boxes of shinies comes back to bite me in the ass. I've got no space for anything anymore. I only got around halfway through the Gen II mons before I had to stop. I have, total, 9 empty spots between my box and party left now...

Gotta remember to renew my bank subscription sometime...also, surprised the Pokemon I left there still are there. I think it's been more than a year since it expired.

...Did... Did Gamefreak just FORGET they never distributed the Azure flute?

Well, they're not wrong...
