That sandcastle rules and will be my friend. Though it will be difficult to fit him in my team since I already plan on using like 10 pokemon, but I will accomplish it anyway!

Then all is right and Alola has the one true Marowak just as it does the true Vulpix and Exeggutor.

On an related note, I want that sub Pokemon for adventures.

Alolan Marowak learned to channel and commune with the spirits of their ancestors through the use of indigenous fire dancing.

Apparently the baby sandcastle was once a pure Ground-type until it scared a kid who then stabbed it with a shovel.

It deconfirms the Pokedex leak from a couple of days ago. Doesn't really have any bearing on the other ones.

A solid point. The Team Plasma theme is one of my favorite tracks from the series.

My pitch:

Island-specific eccentrics interested in nefarious Poké-deeds. Color coated, but not uniformed.

The fire punks who want to beat up some big flower. Ice gang who want to illegally sell tropical mons.

I don't know...I have a hunch that each island is going to have very localized drama. Maybe some trench coat Goobers show up after the final boss or some poo poo to lead you to the cover art monster.

Okay, I'm stumped. How the hell do you get Uxie to show up in the Nameless Cave? I have the other two and I've followed every thing I've found online regarding making Uxie appear such as visiting between 20:00-21:00 and having three Pokémon with you who have max affection. But it's been almost a month of visiting near daily and he still won't show up. Him and Palkia/Dialga (whichever) are the last legendaries I need in OR so I can start an AS game.

This got buried in the CoroCoro stuff, but does it specify happiness or Pokemon Amie affection? Which one did you do? Try the other one?

Now then, re: the new stuff:

FIRE MAROWAAAAAAK! :swoon: I was just saying the other day that I hope, if fire Marowak is a thing, that it uses a flaming baton. And gently caress YEAH IT DOES! Get on the team, now!

I'm going to have to use a rotating team at this point. There just aren't enough team slots for all the cool monsters I want to use!

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Oh hey, Meowth finally gets some love.

From what I've noticed, Vulpix, Sandshrew and Meowth are all exclusive to one version of Gen I (either Blue or Green depending on language). I wonder what this means for Ekans, Growlithe and Mankey though...

Also I'm kinda glad that the Pokedex leak was deconfirmed. Hopefully it means that the Alolan From leak is also fake.

A lot of people seem to be treating Alolan forms like Mega evolutions in that their supposed to be inherently better then the base form. Which is silly. It appears to be that they're just giving types that were under-represented or didn't exist in Gen I to Gen I monsters that haven't had many changes over the years (or simply haven't made an appearance).

This is a good point. I think that it's the regular happiness/friendship, since I rolled around OR postgame with my team I had carried with me through the whole thing and never considered the need in Nameless Cavern for friendship, despite never having opened Pokemon-Amie.

The other thing to check is if your 3DS is set to your current local time. Weirdly, *DS doesn't appear to automatically adjust for DST.

I think messing with your 3DS clock prevents any time related things from happening for at least 24 hours, including legendary appearances.

Well, Sandshrew has been said to have different stats, so it's possible the others will get some rearrangements to that could really improve them without changing their totals.
