But 'ey, look on the bright side. People can now play pokemon while staring at their TV in all its whatever hi-res glory with no need to get fancy third-party extension cables, etc. or choose to go old school and play it portable as of Gen 8. Can't complain.

Well shit... Apparently Gamestop can't just print more codes on receipts anymore, so no Marshadow for me. :/

Don't suppose anyone here has an extra code?

Could anyone save an extra code for me?

I think the thing with the codes may just vary with location. I went in for some Silvally codes today and all they had at the GameStop I went to were the printed out receipt codes.

looks like the Ultra versions will be legendary.

Oooh big story stuff in there too. Confirms all those leaks/rumors basically about what the story's going to be.

Kinda wish I hadn't read them heh. But does have me more excited now too.

Odd that they went with Maxie and Archie's old designs.

Dimensional fuckery. Plus Mega evolution hate I guess

I'm just surprised they actually made new models for them instead of taking the easy route and just porting over the ORAS models lol!

I don't think it's Mega Evolution hate. They showed both Mega Mewtwo's in the trailer and it wouldn't surprise me if Giovanni used them depending on the version you're playing. They could even give the other bosses a Legendary to use since Giovanni has Mewtwo.

Archie - Kyogre
Maxie - Groudon
Cyrus - Giratina
Ghetsis - Kyurem
Lysandre - Xerneas/Yveltal depending on the version

So is the Rainbow Rocket stuff actual story or some sort of Battle Frontier style thing? I haven’t been paying a whole lot of attention to this release but this bit of news has caught my interest.

It's story, most likely post game like the Looker stuff from XY and Delta Emerald in ORAS.

I was kidding

Ehhh Giratina pretty much stopped Cyrus so I think his mon depends in the version

This poster is awesome.

Somebody pointed out (and his actions in the trailer do seem to support this) that it seems Guzma's a full good guy during this Rainbow Rocket bit. No chain, straight glasses, no tattoo. Cleaned up his act. Which is cool since he's pretty much the best SM character.

Oh sweet, that’s good to hear :D

So is that all post game stuff?

I still want to know if they made the online less shit.
Seriously, running around a plaza and hoping your friend shows up in the list of online players?

The Plaza is still in, they confirmed that in an interview. Hopefully they just made it less of a pain to search through.

Just saw Pokemon I choose you I have say I love movie mius some stuff near the end but it was fun fresh take on ash. Also love this film ash charizard more then the original. Plus code for movie pikachu hat is a QR code what only works for Ultra syn and ultra moon only

Saw the movie today as well and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I think the fact it was an AU worked in its favour, since it made it feel different even it was basically following the same Pokemon movie tropes at its core.

Sorrel and Verity are still basically just budget Misty and Brock, but I didn't hate them.

Biggest highlight of the film for me was the way they handled Charmander's arc. Really good for something that was crammed into a one-off movie.

Loves that plus I loved it that charmander personality stayed in each stage and not just become like it did in the tv show

Did I mention that ash movie hat pikachu is QR code and does not work for sun and moon and is for Ultra syn and ultra moon

A reviewer has detailed roughly the first hour of Ultra Sun/Moon to highlight changes-

Of particular note, it takes MUCH less time to get the starter now. Already a massive improvement.

Do not click link if you don't want to be spoiled!

That's tame going by the stuff I'm seeing lol

That's because that was long before the dam busted open:lol That was just the crack that started it.

I just want Zygarde and all the Gen VII Legendaries available Shiny from the start!

1: They probably shiny locked the legendaries again
2: As in the beginning of the game? Lmao we know you're going to hack the game to get them anyway

Zygarde is still Shiny locked.

The following are Shiny Locked

-Zygarde
-Cosmog
-Cosmoem
-Solgaleo
-Lunala
-Necrozma
-Tapu Koko
-Tapu Bulu
-Tapu Fini
-Tapu Lele

All the UBs are able to be shiny now. I don't know why they'd keep Zygarde Shiny locked, but it's probably story related.

So I spoiled myself. ...The champion is not what I expected it to be

I REALLY hate shiny locks...

I hate nickname locks on Mythicals more.

So I’m still pissed at Nintendo then.

Also Tapu Koko isn’t Shiny locked because of the event.

So i just read most if not all the leaks. Holy s**t this game is going to be awesome.

The Shaymin I caught in Pokemon Platinum named Sonic is a prized possession of mine, shame they don't do those anymore

Didn't want to at first, then read all the leaks anyway.

Ugh.

No new Alolan forms?! Fucking why...

That's not what Shiny Lock means... Koko is Shiny Locked, it's Shiny just isn't unobtainable.

Adam/Abraham the Mew
Serebii the Celebi
Judgement/HAIL 2 U the Jirachi
Chaos 0 the Manaphy
The Shadow/Death 13 the Darkrai
El Shaddai the Arceus
Tiggywinkle the Shaymin
Ringo Starr the Victini
D’Artagnan the Keldeo
The Song the Meloetta
Metal Gear/Bohrok Swarm (Tahnok if Shiny) the Genesect
Madoka the Diancie
TheSteamPunk the Volcanion
The Shadow/Set the Marshadow

All impossible.

Pretty sure Shiny locked just means it isn't obtainable via legit means in the game.

Also really don't understand your obsession with Shinies.

My thoughts on the leaks
Lycanrok Dusk literally has Midday stats but 2 less sleed points in return for 2 attack points. Tough Claws helps I guess?

Blacephalon/Burst:53/127/53/151/79/107


Naganedle (Poiple/Adhesive's evolution) is pretty cool, Poison Dragon type with 73/73/73/127/73/121 as BST and it looks like Mega Beedrill

Stakataka/Assembly: 61/131/211/53/101/13. If this thing gets Trick Room it'd be damn good if it wasn't for multiple quadweaknesses

Zeraora, the new mythical pokemon would be cool but I fucking loathe mythical pokemon. Electric type with Volt Absorb, 88/112/75/102/80/143. Has a signature move which turns normal type moves into electric type moves

Ultra Necrozma is cool in motion and is absolutely insane. 97/167/97/167/129 as BST which makes it the strongest non-transformed pokemon period (neat Athos reference), Psychic Dragon, a new ability which gives it a free Expert Belt (makes it stronger if it lands super effective hits), a signature move, Photon Geyser, which uses the strongest offensive stat and a powerful Z-Move

The leaks are interesting but always take things with a pinch of salt since not everything comes out right. But good to know.

You're absolutely right but this is datamined stuff from the same source of the last datamined leaks. Plus, we have moving models.
