If they have a white background when you try to transfer them to X that means they've been formatted for 7th generation and can't be transferred back.

I was super stoked to find out that my store was on the midnight release list and that I had the opportunity to go.
I get to my store, no midnight release.
Fine whatever, they're a Gamestop they don't deserve my money anyway I'll digitally download.
My SD card is too small.
Fine, whatever. I'll buy it in the morning.

Probably asking way too soon, but, does anyone know when you can get Tyrunt/the Jaw Fossil in USUM?
Basically, I just wanna know if it's gated behind postgame content or not.

I now have a largely OP team of Giratina (level 1 from the sinjoh ruins), Celebi (level 10 from the bank event), charmander, porygon, and gible all prepared in Bank and ready for hopefully transferring into Ultra Sun if I can get it tomorrow. Starter will of course be popplio this time around

Petting random NPC pokemon is a game mechanic now.

I've been able to do it to a Rockruff on the early route and Tauros right after the Trainer School.

The important mechanics.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to curse this thread, where I first read about resetting for starter nature.

Or just get one from the GTS. Version exclusives always go pretty fast for their opposite exclusive.

I feel part of my problems with previous games since Black/White is I spent too much time trying to plan out a "perfect" run with figuring out which pokemon come where and what. Well, that and B/W2's story felt rather uninspired and X/Y was a mixture of Team Flare feeling hilariously non-threatening mixed with how much I could not care less about the group of "friends" that welded themselves onto the player character.

Sun/Moon had a much better story but I fell into the trap of over-analyzing the game and getting bored. So I'm avoiding as much as I can. I only have one real question: is Rockruff decently early again? Please say yes: I need to level him up into my favorite adorable psycho werewolf puppy!

Dusk Rockruff is the current Mystery Gift, so it's literally available as soon as you reach a Pokemon Center.

You can breed the special Rockruff to get more so you can do both if you want.

That's the point where you restart the game and pick the proper starter: Rowlet.

While I don't deny that Rowlet is the proper starter, using the same thing twice is boring, so I won't blame anyone who picks Litten this time around, as I myself intend to.

Unrelated: can anyone lend me a Timid Ditto? I want to get a good Vulpix for USUM but all my Vulpix/Ninetales and Ditto are of the wrong nature. IVs are unimportant, I have Gold Caps and I also don't particularly care, it's just to play in-game.

First of them are on the first island, and you now can evolve magnetic pokemon at the power plant on the third island.

Can you trade yourself your own Pokemon from the regular ole Sun/Moon games somehow? Or like, is that not possible? I have a team of 6 level 1 dudes bred just for Ultra Sun and now I can't use em :/

I'm assuming you can, granted you have a copy of both games and a spare system to trade them on.
