It just went out, and it has a lot more animations than the previous ones for the 3DS! Talk about Pokémon Sun Moon here without the taint of being the thread about the mobile one.

I haven't played a Pokemon since G/S and whenever I read stuff about the meta game in the newer ones it all seems incredibly overwhelming but I'm gonna peep one of those $99 3DSes on Black Friday and I might just get Moon as well.

There's like 3 people in the world who actually do any of that meta game stuff so i wouldn't worry about it.

ORAS was the first release I skipped since FireRed/LeafGreen, I'm a poke freak and I can't wait for my package to arrive tonight

i was once playing my friend's copy of pokemon red at his house and tossed his gameboy onto his couch in frustration after failing to catch a pokemon and he got a gameboy colour 2 days later and accused me of breaking his game cartridge because the colours changed whenever he walked to a new town

if you mean the OG GBA cartridges you need a ds phat or lite with a gba slot, obviously, a copy of diamond/pearl/plat for that ds, a second ds of any kind ( i think the 3ds will work fine) with a copy of black/white, and all games involved have to have beaten the elite 4. you just use pokebank to go from black/white to gen 6 pokemon, but i don't think you can transfer from gen 6 to gen 7 until january.

Step 1: Buy and beat a Gen IV game. Use the post game transfer system with your gen 3 cart in the GBA slot of your DS.

Step 2: Buy and beat a Gen V game. Use the post game transfer system with your Gen IV cart in a DS or 3DS with DS download play on.

Step 3: Download the Gen V to Pokebank app on your 3ds and perform a one way transfer to Pokebank, 1 PC box at a time.

Step 4: Wait until January for the Sun and Moon Pokebank update.

Pokémon is not kind to those who leave its side.

It was saying that for me until an hour ago, now it says im getting it tomorrow. The moral is to keep obsessively checking your order status every 5 minutes and maybe youll get rewarded.
