Gen VII: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New info Post #5834)

[Roadagain]

You're kidding right? Kids are among the most adaptable when it comes to the internet and new technology.

While that may be true, this isn't my opinion on the matter. It still stands that CoroCoro stays relevant because it's the primary source for a lot of younger kids in Japan.

What will Sun and Moon be released for? The 3DS. And what is built into the 3DS? A internet browser.

Oh, you mean the thing you may or may not be allowed to use, depending on your parents?

If special moves are definitely a thing, I hope some of them play defensively or supportively :/ You can see this a lot in Megas; often, the only way "up" is to just boost raw power. But that just hurts all the stall-y mons (who are still part of the game, like the playstyle or not) and has next to no effect on the things that are really frail. It'd be nice if there were a mix of offensive/defensive/supportive gimmick SORRY SPECIAL wow that was real Freudian stuff right there, I typed that without thinking... moves.

 

[Kurona]

Yes, but what type is it : Special ? Physical ? Max between both ? Min between both (joke) ? I think it will be Max between both but we can't be sure...

Probably whatever fits the 'mon. Pikachu would get a Special move, Luxray would get a Physical, etc.

 

[MrTharne]

Probably whatever fits the 'mon. Pikachu would get a Special move, Luxray would get a Physical, etc.

And then you have Infernape and other Mixed 'mon that get screwed. :(
And like D_what said I hope there is support/defense moves because if there is only offensive moves...what's the point on Chansey for example ?

You mean Pikachu, the one whose signature move is physical?

 

[Kurona]

You mean Pikachu, the one whose signature move is physical?

You mean the signature move which was made at a time where all Electric moves were special, hence they weren't thinking about whether or not it'd stay special in the event moves were made physical or special based on the attack rather than the type?

Solgaleo and Lunaala figurines are pre-order bonuses at Game in the UK and Spain.

New Solgaleo/Lunaala figurines coming out for Sun/Moon-

 

[HelenTheHero]

Do people really use this ?

I used it a lot playing Ace Attorney and I'd get stuck on something.....
I am a disgrace at AA.


Also those figures are pretty cool looking, although the quality seems a little lost from picture quality.

Yup, those figurines definitely look like the kind the TCG gives out in America. On one hand, we have to pay extra if you really want those figurines. On the other hand, at least their availability will be a LOT higher now as opposed to just being a preorder bonus. So I'm not worried about it at all.

I'm very late but at least I caught up.

Togedemaru: This looks like the Pikaclone without a doubt. Looks like a base form, cute looking, part Electric. It has all the typical aspects of a Pikaclone. It probably won't evolve either which is a shame.

Pikaboo (forgot its actual name): I'm not sure about this but to me it looks like it has a Pikachu cloth to replicate the popularity Pikachu has because it is lonely. If it has multiple cloths then I think I might like this Pokemon, if not then meh.

I don't care I'm hugging that teddy bear Pokemon don't try to stop me.

I don't know enough about this special move thing to be able to make an informed comment right now so I'll probably comment on that later but it better not become a starter exclusive thing.

You act like many parents are aware of the browser or that kids aren't skilled at getting around filters.

 

[Taistelu]

Most parents don't pay attention to what their children do most of the time in my experience in regards to the internet

 

[Mova]

Is the situation with the red tanuki and pikaboo going to be like the one with Rockruff and Komala in June? Their existence is obvious to fans, but The Pokémon Company shows little awareness, even if they already know what's going on around them.

I hope the Power Creep in the new Games will increase so that something like Stall will never be viable again in Gen 7

I hope Stall becomes more viable because it's a legitimate playstyle imo.

 

[aybekay]

Oh my god I did not mean to insult someone haha :)

 

[Meta-Kraid]

It's too early to guess how play styles will fare. We've only seen one, maybe two, fully evolved Pokemon. Even with the ones we've seen design has almost nothing to do with viability. The closest we can get to predict play styles is looking at the new abilities, and they seem to be helping stall, balance, and offense pretty equally. Even then you can never predict. People thought Talonflame would be something like RU at best during XY.

Um you didn't?

Fair enough, although with all these actually good new abilities who knows what will happen?

 

[Siggu]

Don't forget competitive balance is focused on doubles. AFAIK stall is basically not a thing there, so it's not like they care.

Sadly, they go for the show and rule of cool instead of common sense.

 

[Count Bleck]

It's definitely some kind of overworld sparkle and not a Pokemon.

hmm.... idk it has the overall shape down right

And in the anime, Cells are all over the place; on the walls, in the trees, soaking in rivers, etc/ Maybe it becomes fully visible when you click them?

 

[Prof. Almeida]

Weren't we supposed to get news today?

 

[Kurona]

Tomorrow night.

 

[Usernamesarestupid]

Tomorrow night.

What's the news supposed to be about?

Ok, I'm a bit late but I gotta say, Mimichyu (Or Pikaboo as I like to call it) is one of the cutest things I've ever seen! It's a little bit creepy, but it just looks so cute to me for some inexplicable reason. The red panda thing looks a bit bland, but the fanart of it helped me warm up to it. (Should've been Fairy/Fighting though imo)
