The Central Pokemon Topic

It's Hidden Ability isn't that great in my opinion.

 

To get the Diancie code, you had to pre-order the game right? I pre-ordered but didn't get the code. Reasons why I hate GameStop.

You had to specifically ask for the card, not even pre-order.  At least that's how it worked for me.

That was too complicated for my brain, too many steps

Anybody else want a Pokemon Conquest sequel? Doesn't have to be to story, just gameplay. Cause I sure as hell do.

I didn't care for it that much honestly.

I decided to copy the final boss's team from Pokemon Colosseum, update some moves, add items and run it on pokemon showdown.

Here's a PSA for you all:

[kyrt]

there is a central pokemon topic...nice. 

 

I am sad since I didn't pick up the game until after the eon ticket was done being given away.

 

I don't really focus though on EV training...just interesting runs and teams.

[TexasDice]

Someone has to be online at 2 am. Please help me evolve my Scyther, maybe? 0232-9335-2179.

 

EDIT: I guess not. Jerks.

This forum seems pretty dead and chances are you've seen it, but it seems relevant.

I will be quite saddened if we do not get a main game in the series again before the 3DS dies out. I have no intent to buy the next nintendo system (not after all the nintendo of America censorship bullshit) so it would be nice to play one last pokemon game before I quit nintendo. It is the 20th anniversary so they'd be crazy not to release one...I think that's the reason they didn't have a main or remake last year. At least I hope...I'm expecting them to announce something around E3 but will have to wait and see.

[kyrt]

So Pokemon Sun & Moon were announced for the 3DS. 

Been hearing all sorts of rumors but with the titles alone I'm thinking it's likely going to take place in a region based on Japan and also deal with amaterasu and tsukiyomi as far as the overall theme might go. The images we've seen definitely look like an island is possible based on the palm trees so it could also potentially be Hawaii, Australia, or one of the other Pacific islands. 

I will more than likely pick up at least one of the games so hopefully this 20th anniversary game is going to be a good one.

[LiquidShu]

I will be getting Moon 100%, as soon as pre-orders open I'm in. I am becoming a really huge Pokemon fan again and was debating on making a topic for this, but didn't think many Fuwans played it or watched it anymore.

On a side note, does anyone here do VGC? 

[TexasDice]

Dergonu and I do VGC, we recently met in Cybertron's comment section. The current format is pretty ass though and I really hope for something similar to 2014 to come around.

 

About Sun and Moon, I couldn't care less which one I get. It's the same game anyway. I am obviously happy to see something new though.

[Arcadeotic]

Sun & Moon huh?

Might get it, proobably will, all things concidered.

So anyways, I've been out of Pokemon and the compeitive scene for a while, but if someone is needing any help or something along those lines, I can try to get back in it

[LiquidShu]

Well damn, seems we have as many people into VGC as we have in the Fuwa Fight thread 

I was in the middle of making a team for this season when the Moon/Sun announcement came out and I said "fuck it". Don't like the format, new game coming out soon, takes way to much time to make a team for online. All the hoops you have to go through for a viable legendary is fucking stupid. 

[TexasDice]

All that effort of copypasting a template in PKHeX 

The ideal VGC 2017 would be no restricted pokemon and no Genies. So basically VGC 2014, just with more pokemon.

Still not 100% on terminology. No restricted meaning no legendaries like fucking Mega Rayquaza and Primal Kyogre right? Really dislike the teams filled with legendaries, lacks variety and takes way to much time to assemble legitimately. I hope the next game will make getting into competitive easier.

[TexasDice]

Yes, restricted pokemon are the legendaries that aren't allowed in the Battle Maison or on regular Battlespot (all the cover legends and the events basically).

[kingdomcome]

I wasn't aware of this thread. I bought myself the 2DS 20th ed. Pokemon blue console + game. Nostalgia. Though I still have my original gameboy with Pokemon blue.

[Arcadeotic]

I still have my German Pokemon Blue in a box on top of my shelve

Yeah the restricted mons being added into the stale 2015 format just fucked everything up. 

2014 was a good year. The 2015 world championship was literally just the same team for all the top 8 trainers...   

Stupid genies and cresselia + a kang. Thats was basically it. 

 

Hope 2017 will be better. VGC 2016 is boring to me already.

So for anyone interested in some wildly useless speculation on where the next game will take place I've tried to put the evidence together for the Hawaii theory (which has the best bet at the moment for being right).

The evidence for Hawaii as the location the next game will be based off of seems to be stacking up. 

In the few images released thanks to the video we see that the license plate for one of the cars might have a rainbow...which is exactly what one finds on the license plates of Hawaii, the buildings look very similar in architecture to real Hawaiian buildings, the sun and moon could also be representative of Hawaiian mythology with Hina the moon goddess and Maui the sun god representing the upcoming legendary pokemon especially if we take the fact that all previous games have had a basis on one mythology/religion or another. It would not be a huge stretch.

Other evidence for Hawaii comes from the rough drawn sketch of what seems to be either a red crested cardinal or a woodpecker (the first of which can be found on the islands of Hawaii)

The vehicles shown in the preview as well as the format of the pokemon centers (both the hut like buildings and the fact they seemed to have mobile pokemon centers) definitely look similar to what you might find in Hawaii. Hawaii has yellow fire trucks, the lack of back or a roof to the vehicles could be because of the heat, etc... I'm quite curious if prices for everything will be more expensive and whether or not we might see some tourists from other parts of the pokemon world throughout the game as call outs to previous franchises. It would be pretty damn cool to see some characters from previous games pop up while on vacation (nice call out to the 20th anniversary to see some familiar faces). 

In Pokemon XY (or OR/AS) we also had someone give a souvenir from a far off location and this souvenir looked very much like a tiki.

If that were not enough evidence we also have the fact that there is one final pokemon not actually available in the national dex called Volcanion. This pokemon is about to get a movie and while the Azoth kingdom apparently is in Kalos  we've yet to be able to get it legitimately in a game which makes me think that it will probably be available in the next game and have a connection to that region. Usually the pokemon films have been known to preview the next generation of pokemon in the film before the next game's release and so I think the region of Hawaii with all its volcanoes is probably a perfect place to finally find this one. 

If we take the upcoming film as a sneak peak at the overall theme in the next game then we can probably expect man (technology) vs. nature to be a part of the story. With the name for the games being Moon and Sun it is not unreasonable to assume that the enemy team name this time around will be something around the lines of Team Eclipse (lunar vs solar) or Team Halo/Rainbow (in reference to the rings around the sun that look like a halo or rainbow). Of course the enemy and overall themes could be completely different from that of the films. 

Lot of speculation on my part but I'm essentially convinced that the next game will take part at least partially on a polynesian island of some sort and there is a ton they could do with it to make it interesting.
