You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.
Here's a dumb post: I'm trying to complete my pokedex before Sun and Moon (I have Y, also I have OCD), but the GTS isn't helping when, for example, half the Bulbasaurs posted want a loving Yveltal or Articuno in return. I've asked in the trade thread already but it seems pretty dead, so: 3454-4682-4181 (Flavio). I mainly need to evolve the pokemans that need trading, get the X pokemons for my Y pokemons and have some more safaris to catch mans in, nothing fancy.

Oh and I'll gladly trade my next shinies for serious mons because I don't give a gently caress about shinies and honestly most of them look terrible to me.

(Sorry about derailing the amazing sumo discussion)

X for Y is actually pretty easy if you just throw an exclusive up on the GTS asking for the comparable exclusive. That got me all of the non-legendary ones.

You get much better results on the GTS by making your own offers rather than searching for the Pokemon you want. If you breed up a few starters you should have no trouble finding anything you need excluding legendaries.

A lot of that could be the increased graphical fidelity.

Compare screenshots of SuMo to X/Y.

It might also be that they have more trainers rendered as models as opposed to just still images.

While those are true (though all trainers do have models, just they're the overworld ones we mostly see our trainer in) I can't imagine those assets increasing the game size that drastically, unless humans have a way higher poly count than Pokemon.

The main thing that takes up space in these games are Pokemon models, they accounted for 1.2GB of space in both XY and ORAS, more or less, with the maps taking up about 200-300MB, due to taking shortcuts and that. And finally there's about 120MB for music in XY and 320MB for music in ORAS. Since we know there's not a larger amount of tracks in SM compared to those games and there's obviously an increase in Pokemon models, we can assume that the improved overworld and maps take up a larger amount of space also.

It does not mean there's going to be another region, unless you want it to be an empty hollow shell, or one really filled out town or so.

The extra space comes from giving an Alolan form to all 721 pokemon that came before

I've had a charmander up for bulbasaur for ages now, but apparently to the GTS the correct trade is Bulbasaur - Yveltal or Bulbasaur - Keldeo. The best deals I got from trading were all in Wonder Trade for some reason.

That makes sense. A nice, big and dense overworld would be aces after what XY gave

I got specifically a female Bulbasaur with chlorophyll for a Marill. There's no shortage of people with like 5 boxes full of breeding rejects of anything you want.

My egg-hatcher of choice is Volcarona, but Talonflame is way cooler so I should probably switch over.

I'd use Volcarona for egg hatching but I don't want to sully its Special moveset with Fly. That's just wrong.

Do you think that Battle Bond will be exclusive to Ash's Greninja from the Sun and Moon demo or will other Pokémon have the ability as well?

Sometimes the ideal hatching route (usually a looong straightaway) isn't close to the daycare.

In X/Y it was biking around the Eiffel Lumoise Tower. Fly is also just a good utility move to have.

the ideal hatching route would be holding up while the camera autorotates and would be on the same route as the daycare + iv checker, plus in a game where fly was replaced with the eon flute.
