Can somebody clarify if it's possible to trade from gen 6 to gen 7? i mean I know new pokemon ain't gonna work but if I can't use pokebank to transfer I'd like to know my options.

Not right away. You'll be able to do a one way transfer through the bank in January, much like how Gen VI had that brief period of exclusivity before you could transfer up from Gen V.

Is the idea that this pretty wings would transfer to the main game later? Because otherwise what's the point in bothering?

Yeah there's gonna be some mechanic where you talk to Prof. Kakui and he'll transfer your poo poo (plus Greninja) to the full game

My understanding is that Pokebank will still work with gen vii pokemon, just that once a gen vi Pokémon has gotten some Alola stank on it you can't send it back to Gen VI but the bank will continue to be standard from here out.

Sooo trading is out of the question then I take it.


I'd like to transfer a crogunk to my moon game and a ralts to my sun game. I've bred them in advance for my teams.

Yeah, definitely no backwards compatible trading.

Pokemon website posted:

Once Pokémon Bank has been updated, you'll be able to use it to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Pokémon from Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y can also be brought into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon in the same way.

You will be able to use your existing Pokémon Bank account to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow to Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Due to certain limitations, it is recommended that you install Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow on the same Nintendo 3DS system as Pokémon Bank.

Note that Pokémon cannot be moved directly from Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow to Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, or Pokémon Y via Pokémon Bank.

Same. I had no issue getting the wings.

It seems most of the items are vendor trash to help line your pockets. Not that I care, because more clothes for me.

It may also be related to when you talk to them. I finished the demo yesterday I can't remember what time. But I know I did not talk to any of the event people until today for the first time.

What qualifies as "finishing" the demo, anyway? I barely managed to suffer through it long enough to take four pictures and fight some trash and a piece of giant trash and got a "Saving..." message and a big splash screen. Can I go talk to the NPCs now or are they going to throw more "plot" at me?

e: oh thank god I might just not touch it again until it comes out, then, why did everything feel so clunky?!

The starter final forms
The version mascots
some combo of 2 of Marshadow/Magearna/Zygarde/Greninja

I was thinking Grass/Ground, but from the post I found I think Fire/Ground or Rock/Ground is more likely.

RIP Alola Dugtrio, surrounded by the thing that can kill you.

Remember that one time you totally botched that snap?
I beat the demo at about 5:30 yesterday but haven't been able to get the 10 wings from the Pokemon Center guy today. I tried at lunch and the game was at nighttime, tried again a minute ago and it still wouldn't let me. Gonna try again in a little bit, playing VC Red right now, but hopefully it'll let me get all of these dumb useless items.

I still think it's crazy that Ash-Greninja can use items. Not only does it get what is essentially a free Life Orb boost, but you can throw another Life Orb on top of that! You would think that Game Freak might cool it after Primal Reversion and other goofy Gen 6 crap, but nope.

Still, Ash-Greninja is so cool, so I'm okay with it. :3:

To be fair you've got to KO a Pokemon with it first for the transformation, which in competitive play likely won't be something you see very often.

It's not on-command like Mega or Primal.

Yeah, non-Protean Greninja is decent. Not great.

Water/Dark as a permanent typing also leaves it vulnerable to a ton of really common stuff and priority.

I don't know why it isn't just a Mega evolution without the need for something so specific for the frog. He'll, they could have made these bond forms for all the Kalos starters so we could get special stuff for everyone.

Thankfully it will be in the Forbidden Zone along with the catchable Ultra Beasts and all Mega Evolutions.

Give Unown a Magneton or Dugtrio-style evolution, where it just evolves into more Unown (either random letters filtered to avoid Unown gently caress, or just a selection of predetermined words). Give it more moves and Technician, too :v:
