It's 4chan, don't trust themSorry to bring this here, but I read on 4chan that Chinese got the game a bit earlier. How much can I trust that info?
Chances of someone getting the game 3 weeks earlier is pretty much 0%. Not even review copies have been circulated yet.Sorry to bring this here, but I read on 4chan that Chinese got the game a bit earlier. How much can I trust that info?
I'd take anything going forwards until release with a grain of salt if it does not come from Nintendo. If they do already have the game, then I don't really want it discussed here. Chances are copies have barely even gone out for delivery to stores to sell, and reviewers don't have copies yet (Nintendo are traditionally pretty good at that).Sorry to bring this here, but I read on 4chan that Chinese got the game a bit earlier.

Yeah. Chances are we'll start seeing videos and stream pop up around the 16th, most likely the 17th here in the West since Japan and Australia will have gotten it since it would be the 18th there.I'd take anything going forwards until release with a grain of salt if it does not come from Nintendo.

I wouldn't expect deliveries to stores to start until the week of Launch tbh. Anything before the 14th of Nov is probably crap.

I believe one of the later events gives you a balm mushroomI have unlocked this:
01 x Greninja-A
01 x Nugget
01 x Star Piece
03 x Stardust
10 x Pretty Wings
Is there anything else that can be transferred to the main game that I'm missing?
Yeah, Pikachu Birthday event gives a Balm Mushroom and I believe the event with the Police Officer on the Marina/Dock gives a Comet Shard.I believe one of the later events gives you a balm mushroom
Yes and no. Again: it's only a one time thing, so it might add team balance.my problem with z-moves is the GF's bad attempt to make weak or bad pokemon more viable through the use of z-moves. thing is stronger pokes will simply hit harder when using z-moves then weaker ones. making all the effort of GF pretty futile.
OR, maybe the stronger Pokemon would prefer something like a Life Orb, Scarf, or Mega Evolution if it has it. Meanwhile a weaker Pokemon who doesn't have that many options could opt for a Z-Crystal to be a one-trick pony.my problem with z-moves is the GF's bad attempt to make weak or bad pokemon more viable through the use of z-moves. thing is stronger pokes will simply hit harder when using z-moves then weaker ones. making all the effort of GF pretty futile.
That actually could depend. For example, rarer moves may get better boosts with the Z-Crystal than more common moves and some of them could get special effects. Also, we don't know how many exclusive crystals we will get.my problem with z-moves is the GF's bad attempt to make weak or bad pokemon more viable through the use of z-moves. thing is stronger pokes will simply hit harder when using z-moves then weaker ones. making all the effort of GF pretty futile.
Yeah I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm just hoping too hard, but I have a little faith in gamefreak, and if their intent with z-moves is to make weaker pokes more viable then they would've thought of that. Seems pretty obviousmy problem with z-moves is the GF's bad attempt to make weak or bad pokemon more viable through the use of z-moves. thing is stronger pokes will simply hit harder when using z-moves then weaker ones. making all the effort of GF pretty futile.
Like, sure, I guess any weaker pokemon would appreciate a 170 BP option (depending on the move set)...but would it be worth bringing in that weaker pokemon for your once-a-game super shot? Would they not want another item just as much? Wouldn't a stronger pokemon just as much want that move as a gem-like surprise alternative?OR, maybe the stronger Pokemon would prefer something like a Life Orb, Scarf, or Mega Evolution if it has it.

If you get the dual pack of Sun and Moon, you get two codes for 100 pokéballs.Geez, they REALLY want to make sure you're not going to have to go through a money crunch, aren't they?
Honestly I would rather they varied the items. Like give us different types of Poke Balls, Berries, regional Full Heal foods, Potions/Drinks, Heart Scale, Lucky Egg, Eviolite, Leftovers, Shell Bell, Expert Belt, Wise Glasses, Quick Claw, Focus Band/Sash, Amulet Coin, King's Rock, Razor Claw/Fang, Rocky Helmet, Smoke Ball, some of the type-enhancing items (like the ones you'll encounter early game), Cleanse Tag, Soothe Bell, maybe even something like the Glass Flutes. Now I don't mind getting one or two "vendor trash" items, but how about some items that'll directly help with my journey and I might not get until later in the game?
Well, we have Extreme Evoboost so I think they most likely become status moves as well, or maybe they aren't usable with status moves (Everything would have access to the Poison Z-Move cause Toxic, etc). Maybe they are a superior boost then the one status was based off of if it's a boosting move.However, now that I think about it… how will Z-Crystals interact with status attacks? We saw Nuzzle becoming a stronger physical attack, and Electro Ball and Thunderbolt becoming stronger special attacks, but what about status moves? Will they get an improvement as well, like the rare Shift Gear doubling its effects or something?
They don't trigger Unburden or Acrobatics, though, since they aren't consumed. That's one perk Gems had over themZ-Moves are looking to be a fancier version of Gen 5's gems; stronger, but once per battle. They'll no doubt be powerful in Battle Spot and VGC, but I can see some 6v6 singles teams excluding them.
Check your info. Magikarp can't learn Toxic. Jokes aside I think that status Z-moves will do little damage, but still use their effect.Well, we have Extreme Evoboost so I think they most likely become status moves as well, or maybe they aren't usable with status moves (Everything would have access to the Poison Z-Move cause Toxic, etc).
