I'm about to go impulse buy US. I'll trade em back and forth for you. I have a shiny Vulpix that I hatched on Moon that I want to use.

Yeah but I probably need to have at least 6 Pokemon to trade to you in US, haven't even started yet. I'll PM you when I'm ready. So roundabout, sigh, Pokemon.

Mystery gift via internet, no code or anything, just distributed for like a month of the game's launch or something. Amusingly, to evolve it you need to level up during 5-6 pm ingame time, which is 5-6 am real time in moon version. Cool time to be playing pokemon.

That Rockruff gets registered as a Pokemon you own, meaning it will always obey.

Guess I'm not using Rockruff in UM! Unless I can trade it to a US friend to evolve it.

Trade thread is also relatively new and started up while we were all waiting with baited breath for USUM.

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 :/

Put some trade fodder from Ultra Sun on the GTS, requesting the pokemon you want to move to Ultra Sun. Then go into your old game and complete the trade. If you are unlucky, someone already traded, but you only lost some fodder you don't care about anyway.

I made it to the first PC. It looks like Bank hasn't yet been patched to support US/UM, however.

Nintendo, why. Why did you not immediately update bank when the game launched. (Not that it really matters to me, because I need to trade over items and Bank can't do that, but still.)

Gonna be mad disappointed if island scan reveals Rotom at some point and Rotom-Dex is still like "I've never seen that pokemon before!!"

But for real I've only seen very minor graphical and story changes so far but I'm in love all over again.

I'm using Popplio (Used Rowlet last time and I'm still annoyed at incineroar's movepool), Fennekin (I love my magical murder fox), and Turtwig (I sort of skipped Gen 4 and never actually used him) on my team this time.

Of course it took me like. 12 resets to not get an adamant popplio, I settled for a Hasty one because lord knows I'm not getting Modest...

I heard it will evolve at 5-6 am or pm, and that the japanese name could mean either dusk or dawn. Haven't confirmed that yet though.

Call me stupid, but if I get a starter and another pokemon, throw the starter in the bank and then restart the game to select a different starter, does that count as the same game in terms of 'pokemon obeying' or not?

If not, what badge/etc is the point where traded will obey? I must have the best seal friend, but I also want a neat owl buddy.

No, they don't count as the same game since you'll have a different trainer ID.

Also bank isn't currently copatible with USUM.

No it doesn't. What matters is your trainer id and that's randomly seeded when you start a new game. The bank currently doesn't work with USUM, and

Disney bitchsmacked EA and they've disabled lootboxes until they come up with a solution that Disney approves of.

And i think the daycare is on the second island, but people can breed in Sun/Moon and trade forward to USUM.

yea I'm doing the same. Pity that Rowlet was such a dud, I adore the design and concept but S/M probably has some of the best grass and ghost and flying types in at least a couple gens so he's just outclassed almost instantly.

I chained for a shiny Pichu way later in the game than when it first shows up, so I could basically babysit it enough to evolve it without much issue. the shiny A-Raichu is chocolate brown like Dedenne, which is 100% spectacular

Yeah, Pichu is a significantly weaker version of a Pok�mon that was already designed to be caught and used early in the game.

Baby Pok�mon were a mistake.

Pichu >> Ledyba.

Ledyba's just a filler until you find something better to stuff in that slot. Pichu at least had redeeming qualities.
