3DS Pokemon Sun/Moon [3DS]

[kangle4]

So the info on the official site suggests the League might be post game which would be awesome.


"The Pokémon League"

"In the regions that have served as the setting for your adventures in the Pokémon series so far, the ultimate stage for battle has always been a place called the Pokémon League.

The Pokémon League is where the Elite Four—four Pokémon Trainers with powerful Pokémon partners—and the Champion, who reigns as the top of all Trainers, await challengers. A challenger who defeats the Elite Four and the Champion will be hailed as the new Champion of the Pokémon League.

In the Alola region, the setting of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, there is no Pokémon League yet—but it seems that there are plans to construct one on the peak of a certain mountain.

After the growth you achieve through completing the island challenge, will the day come when you also take on the Pokémon League to become the strongest Pokémon Trainer?"

I'm not convinced on the trials etc either, but what excites me with this setup is the story potential. Previous games have always been narratively constrained by the forced implementation of gym battles and the Elite Four (not to mention by the fact that your character's journey is basically the same in each game). We saw some superb storytelling in X/Y but in my view it was still limited by those factors. It should be much easier to create a narrative experience that is gripping in this format.

So deep!

Awesome video. Hyped.

More importantly, fire starter is Fire/Dark so he can stay on my team.

Seeing Red and Green appear only ever makes nervous. They are two characters that in my own weird Pokemon headcannon are almost mythical outside of Kanto/Johto. Not sure on Red's art either. But I guess climbing Mt Silver a bunch will do things to you

 

[Mister Carlton]

Finally a decent trailer.

 

[iBeng]

Well colour me hyped.

 

[Loonerty]

I just want this to hurry up and come out.

Grass/ ghost starter is really interesting.

Grass/ ghost starter is really interesting.

Yeah, hes definitely risen in my interests for starters. Grass/Flying wouldve been a no straight up.

campaigner better be able to learn Fly though or my plans will go to shit.

Spoiler: DataMine spoilers

Don't think HMs are around anymore so it might not matter. Or it'll learn Fly in it's 2nd form

Yeah HMs are done, Fly will be that pokeride with charizard

Spoiler: More Possibly Spoilers

Charizard isn't in the regional dex it seems so it might be all post game

Still existed in TM form, though - I don't think there's confirmation yet on whether Fly exists outside of battles, like Flash/Sweet Scent/etc has previously despite not being a HM.

I don't think the PokeRide will count as an encounter anyway since you would have to encounter the pre evos in the Dex even though you can't catch them

Spoiler

I haven't checked the list of TMs since the data mine first happened but I don't think Fly got moved to an TM

Then why have that Pokemon not in the dex anyway? Just confuses me, that's all.

Spoiler

Had a quick look - it's TM76. Fingers crossed it's not actually used for anything outside of battle.

Looking forward to the inevitable crackpot theories about Rowlets always dying prior to full maturation, hence the switch from Grass/Flying to Grass/Ghost.

Spoiler

I like Fly as a non-competitive move. Solid BP when you have STAB and the turn of not being hit is always nice. It's also useful outside of battle but I'm the kinda guy who loves HMs

 

[kangle4]

Spoiler

Fly, Surf and Waterfall have become TM's I think. Stength hasn't which is a bit dissapointing, it's a decent move to use going through the story.

Grass starter was never in doubt. Ghost typing is a bonus.

Grass starter was never in doubt. Ghost typing is a bonus.

Although type wise all it really does is give you immunity to Fight and Normal, while providing no real additional resistances if my memory serves. Although poison may become neutral, cant remember if thats weak against Ghost.

Still a cool typing though!
