I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Now to be clear, are we talking about Possums or Opossums? The ones that are found in the Americas and specifically the one species that's famous for playing dead is the Opossums.

It is a bit odd that there's only 2 Pokémon based on marsupials.

Clearly there needs to be a whole new region based on Australia and it's friendly fauna!

I wonder if the lack of any updates on USUM despite it being released like a month from now is either:

a) because GF is salty of the massive leaks forum SuMo and this is it's childish revenge; no information at all till the game is released (which is very bad for their sales)

b) it's the exact same game but with tutors

Its most probably b), but GF has been shown to be that childish in the past with the delayed Europe release for ORAS

Every Pokemon has Poison as secondary type and they can all learn Bite by level up. Even the obligatory early coccoon bug type.

I mean it's got to be a bit different than that, since the Poni Island on the map implies an expanded plot, but...

It's probably mostly the same but with tutors.

That's honestly all I've ever expected from them, if we get something meaty with lots of great extras like BW2 then I'll be over the moon, but I'm not upset or going to pretend like I'm not gonna buy it just because we don't have info yet. Most extra games are just 'same but with tutors/extra Pokemon,' aren't they?

From the get-go I saw early leaks and thought "this is probably fake, Goomy probably won't evolve into some weird slimy dick dragon", was wondering if it was just me and apparently it is :shrug:

Okay I can kinda see the dick thing (just in tapered shaft with the two round legs) but it's not really a thing most people would ever notice, no.

it's also the proportions of things like Pete's Dragon and cartoon dinosaurs, so I'd chalk that up to an unintentional resemblance.

Neither is happening, those are Necrozma forms, not Solgaleo or Lunala.

that makes sense devoid of context. the lion succumbing to the death prism and becoming twilight is neat. i guess it's just the bat being a herald of dawn that's weird

I can't believe that I have to be the one to tell you this well into your late 40's but buddy

Everything that has ever existed and will exist will be made into weird porn. Everything. No exceptions. The Eiffel Tower? Done. Alcatraz? Long since made. Hurricane Irma? Unfortunately so.

The only way to avoid this is to sacrifice your existence for the sake of a friend. All traces of you having existed will be wiped away from the universe. But at least you won't exist so someone can't make weird Shrek porn of you.

All I need to know is which version to buy. Is it more of a B2W2 situation where you're supposed to buy the sequel to the game you already own to catch your opposite version legendaries and stuff, or are they just enhanced versions of the current games? If the latter it would be better to get Ultra Moon instead of Sun. I need to know these things, Gamefreak!

I'm more concerned with what new Pokémon are available. Most people are wishing for new Alolan forms, but at most I'm expecting an expanded Pokédex that makes some species more available and easier to get hidden abilities for (thus more options). As far as I'm aware, there are still a few species that can't easily be obtained with a Hidden ability (due to not being found in hordes, Friend Safari, the ORAS games (thus can't be dexnav-ed) or S.O.S chained in Sun and Moon.

In Gen 6 it was possible to obtain all Pokémon between X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, plus events. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon might do the same thing for Gen 7, but it probably won't since Gen 6 is still being somewhat supported.

I hope prism-mon makes the bat not worthless because of bad typing. I sure would like my Lunala that I got good nature and IV luck on to be something I could potentially use ever and not have it be a waste. Also Necrozama. But I literally never used it after catching because who even cares? It might as well have not existed. And that sucked, because I wanted it to be a bigger thing in the meta. :saddowns:

It was pretty much tied with Magearna and Espeon as the best baton pass receiver if you're into doing the same things in the same order every battle
