centrism is a hell of a drug

I was already an adult when gen IV came out so I don't feel any nostalgia for it. They should do something more like black and white 2 instead. I actually think Sun and Moon would be great candidates for a direct sequel.

If they're going for a DP remake I hope they make the male trainer look like not an idiot

I'm really not optimistic, the trainer designs in the remakes usually look worse than the originals

Welp, the unavailable mega stones are banned from Season 2 Battle Spot. Guess we'll have to wait for stars or whatever to get them.

If they're banned, wouldn't that lean towards the fact that we're getting them? Otherwise why would you specifically ban something players couldn't obtain?

They banned the Mega Glove and other key items. I'm guessing it is a "catch-all" to prevent hacked items from being placed on Pokémon.

The data for those items still exists in the game's code, and hackers can put them in.

PokeBank update release confirmed January 32nd.

Also, neat !confirmation on GSC VC ports. I want to say it's for the 20th anniversary of Gold and Silver, but that's not until 2019. Still neat though.

Why would you play the original Gold/Silver with HGSS in existence? Get yourself a Mamoswine, Togekiss, Yanmega, Ambipom, and respect your free time.

I remember liking Pearl when it came out because the GTS loving blew my mind. You're saying I can actually get the three starters by trading with random people online?! :aaaaa:

But yeah, Platinum completely superseded Diamond/Pearl. There's no reason to play either of those if you can get Platinum.

It says that "when you see a weather effect on the field before entering battle, you can find Pokémon from different evolutionary lines in SOS battles (but using a move like Rain Dance to change the weather yourself won't do the trick)." But that's not true. I've used a Drizzle Pelipper to get Goomy and Rain Dance to get a Politoed.

Wonder how that mistake made it onto the official website.

so there's not gonna be anything stopping me from going on battle spot with my choice scarf no guard fissure machamp right? pair it with sigilyph with gravity/tailwind, and magnezone to get rid of Sturdy skarmory. Does Focus Sash leave them at 1 HP after an OHKO move?

I would be surprised if they didn't end up banning imported VC Pokemon from the Battle Spot.

If they're allowed in the Battle Tree, though... :getin:

that's what gravity Sigilyph is there for. Or, maybe a bulky assault vest Machamp would work and you use Smack Down first.
