Yeah, you'll be able to use Bank with SuMo in January. Did the same with Gen VI.

They want people to be stuck with the Alola mons for a while and mainly use the new stuff. It's kinda dumb.

I'm a-ok with that! Decidueye, Pallossand, Alolan exeggutor, morelull's evo, Mudsdale, Kommo-o and Drampa, god drat a lot of good mons there.

Oh and loving Wimpod's evo! Its going to be hard to choose a team...

I'd be astonished if there wasn't something similar to the friend safari to expand the pokedex postgame. Though waiting until other people have beaten the game so you can have your preferred team sounds like my definition of a personal hell.

Sounds like the European release date...

So yeah, I expect all of you NA folk to poopsock the game so I have access to some of those new Alolan pals early on.

I just Pre-ordered/Pre-downloaded Sun because I liked the Sun exclusives better.

I want the game to be a little hard by the end so I'm just not going to evolve my pokemon until after beating the game. Going with this team:



Hopefully there's a place in-game we can get Everstones easily. Mashing the B button after every fight is annoying.

Thank you for reminding me about Morelull.

Thats because they stupidly decided to have a Ghost-expert and Dragon-expert in a gen with 1 ghost line and 1 dragon line. There are more than enough Bugs, Flying and Normal types to have full teams and no one specializes in them until Gen II.

People talk about Sinnoh being bad with Fire types but it was miles better than Gen I or II were with Ghost, Dragon, Ghost and Steel types in total.

Maybe he shouldn't say this then :colbert:

We will battle to determine who is the stronger of the two of us. As the most powerful trainer and as the Pokémon League Champion… I, Lance the dragon master, accept your challenge!"

Gen II was fine for Steel, especially as an introductory gen and anno 1999. Steelix, Forretress, Magneton, Scizor, Skarmory. All very cool and almost a full team on one type alone.

Total Dark types before the Elite Four: Umbreon.

My least favourite type is Fighting, so I would probably roll with Lucario, Mienshao, Pangoro and Bewear.

Also, some people seem to have forgotten that Sharpedo is a fish.

If we're still doing the least favorite type gym thing, I'd go for Dark. Fifth or sixth gym.

Crookodile, Scrafty, Pangoro, and Zoroark. Possibly Greninja.


Edit: Scratch that. I like Poison slightly less than Dark. Let's go Poison.

Venusaur, Toxicroak, Crobat, and Venipede.

That wouldn't make sense since fairies are nature spirits, so they (e.g. Florges and Tapu Bulu) live in harmony with Grass-types and not in an averserial relationship like how they're weak to Poison or how Dragons can't touch them.

It makes perfect sense if you believe it to be something along the lines of "fairies (Fairy) would never harm nature (Grass)."

Eugh Rock-type gym leader I'm probably the first one so probably a loving Geodude, a Rockruff, and Onix are some poo poo.
