The dub trailer for the new anime series has such a completely different tone to the Japanese version it's ridiculous. It's almost polar opposites.

It's kind of nostalgic to see some good old fashioned "trying too hard to look epic advertising" for a kids' anime again.

THINKS CON-AIR WAS A GOOD MOVIE
So thanks to crossed wires, I didn't realize I have to pay off Sun BEFORE 6pm tonight, then come back AFTER 6pm but BEFORE 9 to get my ticket.

A minor annoyance, and it makes sense in retrospect ("pay for the game before 6 so we can print out a list of people who are getting tickets to let back into the closed-mall for Midnight")

Luckily I'm only 10 minutes away, so I'll just head back around 7, grab dinner at Moe's around the corner, then go home and come back at 10:30-11 so I'm not standing in line for 2 hours like the desperate loser I am.

My favorite thing about the Pokemon anime ever is when Ash was going to win the Sinnoh league after all of his possible rivals got knocked out/became his friend/whatever.

So his next opponent was a guy using legendaries that destroyed Ash's team with ease.

Hahaha

Before alternate forms were just different colors, so I didn't care about 'em. Now they've got different types and movepools, so they're different enough to warrant a slot.
I'll probably just put them all at the end of the Alolan Dex, I guess.

All of those can change from one form to any of the other formes, so they're essentially the same pokemon. (Aside from Wormadam, who's choice is locked in @ Burmy)
Things like Alolan-Vulpix or Marowak are set in their Alolan form. You can't flip a switch to swap them to another one.
I understand that's sort of an arbitrary way of looking at things, but I'm still a little annoyed.

There are still battle mechanics and stuff that are still being figured out (Dark types being immune to Prankster just got found out yesterday) so it'll probably be a while longer.

I normally just lurk in this thread, but I've got a pretty important question. I've seen reports of people being banned for playing early due to piracy downloads, which makes perfect sense. However, I came home today to see that Amazon had delivered my copies of Sun and Moon early. Should I hold off on playing them to avoid getting lumped in with thieves and banned for no reason, or is there some way they can tell I'm playing from officials cartridges that I paid for?

Sorry if this has been covered already. I've not been able to keep up with the thread.

edit: I mean, if I've got to wait, it's not like midnight's that far off or anything.

Nintendo was indiscriminate with their bans - It didn't matter how you got a copy early, if you accessed the online tools you got banned. People who purchased it have since contacted them and gotten their bans reduced to 2 week bans (??????????????), but yeah.

I doubt anyone is going to get banned now considering just how many people are getting it today, but if you want to be uber super paranoid just turn off Wifi until tomorrow.

Oh alright. Yeah, if a bunch of others are getting theirs early it'd be a seriously jerkish thing to do. Thanks!

Agreed, it's the second-best winged legendary after Ho-Oh.

Solgaleo looks like Entei cosplaying as a lion.

Seems so. Here's a store page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Consoles/Nintendo-Handheld-Console-Pokemon-Moon/B01LW08Q4J (the color is the same for both Sun and Moon). The price is 110 euros (117 dollars).
