Cool! I'm glad we can transfer from XY and ORAS to Sun and Moon when the update releases. It would be cool if Eevee could still use it's Z move after it evolves since it's base stats aren't really that great, but of course that would ruin the point of it. (and the animation)
This looks great! You know, it's interesting how in the new Sun and Moon anime Ash was given a new look. Its pretty similar to Red's style, and now this has been revealed. Is it at all possible that Ash and Red could meet?
Wow, so I guess Lusamine, and (I guess) Gladion are actually Ultra Beasts too? Interesting. I'm also loving that Rockruff day evolution, and the night evo too. I'll also definitely be checking out the anime. Ash going to school sounds awesome!
Oh cool! I'm probably one of the few who actually enjoyed it, but my first game was Other M. I eventually got around to Metroid Fusion and I'm loving that too! Happy Birthday Samus!
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of not having gyms, but I guess it's nice to have something new every once and awhile. Who knows, if the game does allow us to travel back to Kalos maybe we'll get to challenge some new gyms over there?
I'm not sure what else there is to reveal other than mid and final starter evolutions, or of course more Alola form Pokemon. Either way I'm looking forward to it.
@GoombaJMR @Kemo47 Alright! Got you both down for codes. I should have them throughout the week. Do either of you have some sort of email I can send them to?
Those Z-moves look awesome! Though I'm not sure how I feel about the Island Trials, but 2 against 1 does look like a pretty interesting challenge. I guess you really have to make sure you have different Pokemon types to ensure victory.
I can already tell my first priority will be to catch Pikipek! He's probably gonna be the new Talonflame for this gen, especially with that Skill Link ability.
THIS IS SO COOL! I can't wait to get a hold of the Zygarde 10% and 100% formes! I seriously hope they don't just hand it to us through an event, I wanna be able to encounter it and catch it.
This looks cool! I forgot the name of it, but this reminds me of the little quest thing they had at the Great Wolf Lodge. Though I have no idea if it's still there or not.
Greninja? Eh, not a big surprise. He's got a new form in the XYZ anime and the the Japanese opening is pretty hype. In fact I'm pretty sure that's why Zygarde is in that list too. Though I'm sure it'll be another Pokemon next gen.
Never knew the trick about the butterflies turning into bombs. lol I remember seeing a glitch on (I think) G4 where Mario did the long jump backwards (facing the screen) on the endless stairs a couple times, and eventually it glitched to where Mario literally flew up the stairs and could skip to the final stage.
Kinda surprised that Solgaleo is a Psychic/Steel type, but his signature move looks amazing. I also really like the PokeDex Rotom! It'd be cool if they made a different form similar to that for battles.
Well, Runners wasn't that bad, but there were some things wrong with it. The story mode felt repetitive at times, and I also didn't like the way they made it nearly impossible to unlock new characters on that Roulette. It's a shame its gotta be shut down.
@Yoshis95 Yes, exactly something like that! The music for the Final Bosses in those games are amazing and would be perfect for a movie. ...In my opinion at least.
I'm sure they'd do great with Metroid, Zelda, even Star Fox, but If they make a Super Mario movie I seriously hope the plot isn't the usual "Bowser steals Peach" thing. I wanna see them use their creativity and come up with something good!
@lifepsychedelic @Marco_ Um...alright, but like I said for Mew I can't promise a code. I might be able to get some tomorrow since I'll be going to see the Marvel Civil War movie and not too far from the movies is a GameStop so we'll see what happens.
@c1pher_c0mplet Very true, and yeah I had to go to about 4 different GameStops to get extra codes for the Mew event. (I was picking up extras for people here who asked me for some) But yeah maybe in a few years Nintendo will give codes away somewhere else? Or perhaps just make it optional.
I agree with the idea of Pokemon evolving during Mid-battle. As long as we can still stop them from doing so then that's cool. What I'd also like to see is a way for the player to create their own Gym. Of course it would be unlocked only after you complete the game, and it would work kind of like how the secret bases work in ORAS. Though you'd have to select what the typing of the gym is, and you can only use a team of the typing you selected, that way it'll make it more challenging for the player to come up with movesets to the typing's disadvantage. And of course legendaries would be banned completely.
I guess they're giving out Zygarde again since a lot of people probably traded theirs away when X and Y came out thinking it was "useless". Edit: Apparently everyone can get this event, which is kinda strange.
@MajinCubyan True, and those do sound like some really cool Mega Pokemon, but they might also probably focus more on the Pokemon being introduced in the new region.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Highlights the Allure of a Larger Audience and Reaching Kids With Super Mario Run
A sequel to Super Mario Sunshine wouldn't be bad either, but I guess another Galaxy would get more attention. Oh well I can wait.
Re: Different Time Periods, New Pokémon and Snap-style Mode Confirmed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
I don't think they could possibly add anything else to the game to get me more excited than I already am! Hurry up and get here November!

Re: Rumour: Concept Art Reveals the Final Evolutions of the Alola Starters
If these are real I think Popplio's final evo looks great! Litten's final reminds me too much of Emboar though, and Rowlet's is kinda "meh" to me.
Re: Your Next Batch of Pokémon Sun and Moon Details Isn't Too Far Away
I'm not sure what else there is to reveal other than mid and final starter evolutions, or of course more Alola form Pokemon. Either way I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Mythical Pokémon Arceus is Now Up for Grabs From Store Distributions
Well...looks like it's that time again. I'm willing to pick up 1 code per person for 3 US players.
Re: Weirdness: Shadow the Hedgehog is Rather Foul-Mouthed in Mario & Sonic at the Rio Olympics
Well that's Shadow for you, but still that's pretty hilarious.
Re: Random: There Are Pokémon GO Players That Have Caught 'em All
I wonder if those who fill out their PokeDex before trading is available get something special? Lol I certainly won't be one of those people.

Now THAT was impressive!
Re: Pokémon GO Global Rollout To Resume In The Next Few Days, Trading Element Coming Later

Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon 'Fan Editions' and Limited Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL Confirmed for Europe
Gonna have to pass on the SteelBook case. (If it was even coming to NA anyways) The game cartridge is gonna be in my N3DS for a pretty long time.
Re: E3 2016: Fresh Pokémon Sun And Moon Details Include New 'Mon And Battle Format

Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Could Use QR Codes in Interesting Ways
Hmm... I can't really think of a reason for why they'd have us scanning Pokemon with QR codes, but it oughta be a good surprise for when we see why.

Re: Sonic Runners, SEGA's Mobile Release by the Sonic Team, is Getting Shut Down
Well, Runners wasn't that bad, but there were some things wrong with it. The story mode felt repetitive at times, and I also didn't like the way they made it nearly impossible to unlock new characters on that Roulette. It's a shame its gotta be shut down.
Re: Reminder: Distribution is Underway for Mythical Pokémon Darkrai
@Marco_ I got you man, I bought you a code online and it should still work even though the time to get the event card is over.
Re: Reminder: The Shiny Yveltal Distribution is Now Available in North America
Already got all 3, I have to say my favorite shiny versions out of the two would be Yveltal, but Xerneas looks nice too.
Re: Reminder: Distribution is Underway for Mythical Pokémon Darkrai
@Marco_ Hey, I apologize for the extremely long wait, but do you still need codes for Darkrai?
Re: Nintendo is Getting Into the Movie Business

Awesome!! I'm probably gonna have a hard time choosing between the Water and Fire starters, but overall the game looks great so far!

Re: Distribution Details Emerge for Mythical Pokémon Darkrai
Well, it was nice receiving the previous two Pokemon from home while it lasted.
Re: Rumour: The Pokémon Company Plans to Make a Big-Budget Live-Action Pokémon Movie
