Hype.

Meanwhile I caught an Eevee wearing a flower crown on PoGo.

I'm assuming this is getting the usual November release, so I guess I'll have to get a Switch for my birthday this year.
Might switch my usual starter to water after the trailer.

Now that's a map
Hadn't seen that before, it is indeed very British.
Shopto is doing pre-orders for 39.85. I've gone for sword because sword beats shield.
New video has been released showing the mascots & some other new pokes. Also a new battle thing that just looks like normal/raid battling but with every pokemon made enormous.

Release date of November 15th.
I need to buy myself a Switch.
Yeah, my birthday is just before that so I guess I might actually have something I want for the first time in years. That gimmicky Dynamax shit is almost enough to ruin it though.
Here's the video, by the way. I was on my phone earlier:
There's a whole Nintendo Direct, actually:

Yep, don't get the giant Pokemon thing at all. The rest looks amazing.
Dynamax seems alright, basically just Mega Evolution + Z moves, but it only lasts 3 turns. I'm fine with it, in theory. Of course when I do a blind Nuzlocke and some cunt uses it to sweep my team, I'll change my mind.
My lad has got massively into Pokemon recently, which has resulted in endless questions and Googling of Bulbapedia! That in turn has seen me catch the bug again! Decided to get something going on Moon.
Just hit Route five with a team of:
Meowth - Level 19
Growlithe - Level 19
Slowpoke - Level 19
Misdreavus - Level 20
Makuhita - Level 21
Dartrix - Level 21
Going along nicely and seem to have most bases covered at this point, but Meowth appears to be the weak link and is expendable. Not sure who/what to replace it with though...
I went to Download last week & made the terrible decision to reinstall Pokemon Go, so of course I'm now looking at it all the time. Anyone else still playing?
EDIT: Befriend me - 5674 3800 8319

it still exists? It got boring after about 3 days.
I am however Soul Linking Ultra Sun/Moon again. Our last one (a few pages back) was actually going well, but guess we got bored at some point, and stopped playing. Neither me or my brother have ever finished Ultra, so we're both determined to do it this time. Actually enjoying it, which surprises me, because I've always hated these games.
I seem to remember getting big into it the first time round, but I think that only lasted about a month & then I never had any desire to play it after that point until about two weeks ago. We'll see how long I last this time, I guess.
I did think about playing X or Y again recently, as I seem to remember that being my favourite of the last few generations. Should give the Black/White series a revisit too.
I think I should probably play some of the newer ones in preparation for Sword.
I don't think I ever went past Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.
Black/White & the sequels are great, and I feel like i enjoyed X/Y too, but I didn't enjoy either of the Sun/Moon games as much. I seem to remember OR/AS being decent - think that was one of the rare games where there was actual stuff to do after being the elite four.
Fuck it, I'll dig them out if I've got them here.
I still hate ORAS, which hurts because Ruby/Sapphire were my favourites by a mile on my first play through of each game. They just held your hand way too much, which was even worse as Black/White actually presented somewhat of a challenge IIRC.
Just opened a Black ROM.
Why was I not informed that one of the starters is a Fire type Pig?
Nine years I've been missing out.
I lost to Bianca :\
That's the first time I've ever lost the very first battle. She only tail whipped once and got a critical.
I loved Black/White and the sequels and they actually made it worth playing both by having one be all new Pokemon and the other have old Pokemon in.
At some point I should Poke Bank all my stuff from them and replay them, I guess. Maybe I'll try and get a Soul Link going on one of those after we finish (or more likely fail) Ultra.
We just beat the second totem relatively easily thanks to me getting a Charjabug and him having Oricorio, but I forgot quite how much they buffed some of the totem fights. Araquanid has awesome coverage with his move set and a berry that meant I couldn't OHKO it with Spark even after boosting my attack... it was still easy thanks to my type advantage, but I can tell that would be challenging to the wrong team.
Our teams as it stands:
Brionne and Dartrix
Alolan Grimer and Mr Mime
Noibat and Alolan Diglett (though he refuses to train Diglett so I live in fear of him sacrificing it at some point)
Butterfree and Oricorio
Roggenrola and Mawhile (I don't really like Roggenrola thanks to his ability so I need to evolve it ASAP).
Charjabug and Herdier
2 deaths so far, both on me. First my Wingull (paired with his Slowpoke) was killed by a critical hit from Rowlett in the trainer school and then my Zubat (paired with a Gastly he didn't want to use) died to a pursuit from a Murkrow. Funnily enough reading back in the thread to last time we tried this, I think he had a Zubat die in the exact same fight last time.
The fire trial will be easy for me but I'm not sure who he will use for it as none of his mons have a notable advantage. I think long term he'll regret the decision not to use the Mudbray he got from the ranch... that thing is a beast from what I remember.
It was also the first starter battle that saw me attack second.
Yea, Tepig is slow as fuck, but he gets the move Flame Charge which will help with that later on.
I just got a regular one.
I have no idea what Blaze Black is.
Blaze Black is a ROM hack version of the series. I think it’s generally regarded as one of the best remake hacks out there.
I started playing it a while back when I had a brief YouTube phase, and I couldn’t find Black/White in my room, so I might have to go back to my save file if I still have it.
Yeah it makes it so that all the Pokemon (upto that genwration) are in it, among other changes.
Restart your Black save if you’re not too far in and do Blaze Black.
I'm a twit
I'm only on route 3 with one badge.
Fuck it.
Also, it's really weird knowing NOTHING about every single one of these Pokemon.
Why didn't you tell me earlier that you get the bicycle instantly?
Just blacked out
A level 11 fucking rattata just wiped my 4 man team (I'm catching but boxing all previous gen Pokemon until I get the national dex). My 2 hitters in Lillipup and Tepig (both 13) were injured quite a bit and the fucking rat went on a critical hit frenzy. I only needed to hit him twice but after he defeated Lillipup he kept biting everyone first and one hit criting them.
Desmume is pissing me off.
I was using save states and yesterday whenever I Alt-Tab'd it would load the first save state, today it would change the orientation/screen size/screen shit, now it saved a state itself and then loaded that which means I lost a bit of time.
Why are you so shit?
Why is Beldum a massive cunt to catch? 1 HP remaining (thanks to Decidueye's False Swipe) and I've used a mixture of 40 Great and Ultra balls and still can't catch the fucker. I've given up. Raging.
Why does Audino give so much EXP?
It does in the actual games too, I think. It's basically a budget version of Chansey.
Kricketune is a beast in Blaze Black, by the way - gets STAB, technician Bug Bite & Leech Life, as well as Swords Dance Ran wild during the first third of the game.
List some amazing gen V Pokemon (especially those you can catch early doors) as I don't want to use any previous gen Pokemon until i unlock the National deck.
Also, I fucking hate fishing so much. I need a water Pokemon but every fucking cast is a tentacool, poliwag or shellder. Just give me a tympole you pricks.
TYMPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE
Found the little shit outside of Pinwheel forest lurking in grass, weird prick.
I didn’t get much further to be fair - think my team are currently in the 40s. Pretty sure there’s a list available with all the changes somewhere too.
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-whipped-cream
A Pokemon that fires white cream at enemies who love it...Alcremie fires whipped cream as an attack. According to a description from The Pokémon Company, this cream "becomes richer the happier Alcremie is feeling".
"When attacked by an opponent," The Pokémon Company continues, "Alcremie will throw sweet-scented cream to distract them or temporarily blind them, giving itself time to escape."
"The cream pouring out of its body hardens when subjected to impacts-the stronger the impact, the harder it becomes-giving Alcremie an impressive resistance to physical attacks.
"Any Pokémon that touches this cream will be filled with energy and euphoria but at the same time will fall into a state of complete confusion
I’ve woken up to find a game called Pokémon Masters has installed itself on my phone.
Not sure how much I’ll play it yet but feel free to add me as a friend: 4072382401796577

Just trialling it, seems alright so far, though I'm sure like all Mobile Games it'll become Pay to Win fairly soon.
Wish they gave me any fucking Pokemon but Pikachu at the start. I hope I can change him.

We will have to see who comes along then. So far I've only got Snivy girl and Whitney, who I assume everyone gets?
Yeah.
Lots of people are starting, using the 1390 starting gems to do the scouting thing and if they don't get a 5 star/S tier pokemon from their 5 pulls, they restart. Seems pretty easy but I cba so I'm rolling with a Machamp.
Here's a very basic tier list, if you want spoilers:
