Mega when? Can it even be saved?
p.s. Amoongus is a loser
>>26747184
it'll get new relevance when it's changed to fungus/bug in gen 8.
>>26747184
>PS
Come back when you're 18, or even better, don't.
>>26747197
Fuck off Amoongus you aren't fooling anybody.
Just what kind of a fucking novel is the guide book supposed to be? I have a poster for every region by buying these (really the only incentive) but for what purpose is it this expensive for? This is Aus price, but it'll be something close to this in other countries.
>>26747141
you also get 120-150 sticker and a poster with all local pokemon
how else can you boast with your full pokedex at school?
This shit used to cost $30 back in the day. Usually I get strategy guides for $10 extra with the purchase of a game at EB so you might have to be lucky to get it cheap
>>26747141
Looks good on shelves, and it's nice to red when you're done with the game, when the guide is well done (like BW B2W2, not XY that was utter shit, don't know about ORAS) you learn lots of things, and you can see what you missed. Of course you can go to the internet for this but it has that pre-internet era feel which is pretty nice.
But shit's expensive damn.
Was this an objective improvement over RB or did it lose some of the original charm?
It's hardly different, but most changes were improvements. The only missing "charm" might be not being able to choose wonky color palettes when booting up R/B on a GBC.
>>26747017
Clearly it's an objective downgrade because you can't fucking evolve Pikachu.
It's not as clear of an upgrade as, say, Crystal was to Gold and Silver, or any other third version, but it improves a couple things. It does change a few things that weren't broken to match better with the anime, but most of those things don't matter at all, so it's just personal preference.
If by "original charm" you mean nostalgia, that obviously depends on which you played first, or if you played all of Gen 1 in close enough succession for it all to be about the same for you.
I got this info from a Hawaiin site.
Kane - provider of nature, the sun and water.
Ku - the God of war.
Kanaloa - the God of the ocean
Lono - the God of agriculture, fertility, peace and natural phenomena.
These are the four major gods of Hawaii. I think they will be the inspirations for the 4 guardian pokemon of Alola. I believe one of them is Marshadow, Kane, keeping Solgaleo and Lunala in check. Mar=Ocean so that works too I guess. What are your thoughts? How can we improve or disprove the theory?
>Ku - the God of war.
THATS NOT KRATOS!
What if Lono is Zygarde Complete. There are corelations. Or maybe a rival to Lono is zygarde. idk
Firstly, I don't think Solgaleo nor Lunaala are one of the guardians.
I think the guardians are more like the lake trio.
Marshadow might be one of the guardians, but for some reason I feel it won't be.
100 POKEBALLS

HOLY SHIT PRE FUKKEN ORDERED
is this real
...Are they seriously doing the retarded pack in thing again with shitty items?
60 POTIONS!
I'm sill waiting for the part when someone explains to me what the fuck is ACTUALLY wrong with having a trashbag pokemon, a ice cream cone pokemon, a keychain pokemon, a sword pokemon, and the entirety of rotom.
I know I know. I'm gonna get scoffs and looks of disgust and confusion, and no actual answers, but that's just a fucking cop out and you all know it. Now one has ever bothered to explain what the fuck is wrong with having those pokemon to begin with. When in pokemon has it ever been explicitly states or made clear that pokemon would be anything...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>26746912
Nothing. They're just bad designs.
>>26746912
I would like them to be part ghost to explain how they work, and even the ones that are ghosts can be fucking born from eggs, that will always trigger my autism
rotom and the honedge/magnemite line looks great, vanillite/voltorb line and klefki are meh, trubbish/garbodor looks like shit
>>26746912
Trashbag is cute, its evo not so much, ice cream shouldnt be a pokemon, rotom forms are meh, sword is ok i guess. All in all they are either meh or bad, trashbag was cute tho.
>ice trainer
>hot as fuck region
Where is she from, /vp/?
>>26746840
Sinnoh obviously
>>26746840
Sinnoh
She's from Sinjoh if anywhere else
also, Lorelei is from one of the tropical Sevii islands, but she's also an ice-specialist
Will the unused Gen 2 beta-region be post game region for Sun and Moon? It's based on California, and we know the state Hawaii is closest to is Cali.
Did you think nobody on this board would recognize the MOTHER overworld?
Jesus christ not this autist again.
Fuck off.
>>26746853
How have you not heard of this, I even have a photo of the beta Map. Mother's map looks nothing like this.
>Popplio is not Fighting Type.
I know the move alone doesnt confirm, but its stats might. Attack is its worse stat, and unless it has a bad ability, its not gonna be fighting type. It also headbutts. What fighting type headbutts?
Also no fire/ground praise Jesus
I meant nature, not ability...
>>26746795
>no fire/ground
Hail Satan!
it's going to be zidane type
Psychic / Ghost
I can't see the practical use of this thing in a competitive sense at this current time. Unless it has 140+ speed and 110+ HP to work with. This thing is a glass cannon that will die so fast. It also essentially has Multiscale ability that is worthless due to its 4x weaknesses. I don't know. Too early to commit to this but it's not looking good. Anything with Shadow Ball will wreck it. I'll still choose it for fun but not sure if I would ever use it online. Solgaleo is at least Psychic / Steel
>>26746786
>4x weakness makes multiscale useless
>Dragonite is OU
>muh 4 weakness
It's a box legend so it's going to be good, end of
And if you don't play meme rules it's going to be banned by default in competitive regardless
>>26746786
>>26746817
Dragonite is only weak to Stealth Rock, Ice Beam, and Sandstorm. It also has many ways to check these. We also don't know this things stats. Dragonite has been around since the beginning with an established meta to have it in OU. It most likely will have legendary base speed so it will be fast.
>a Pokémon that no one bother to use
>finally got a strong hidden ability
>got its thunder stolen by a faster frog with better stats
Is there anything more suffering than being a Kekleon?
>>26746742
Being Phione.
>literally glalie with a better type and no moody/mega
>banned from all facilities and official play for no reason
>>26746742
The fuck are you on about? They both fill completely different roles.
>>26746742
Being Flygon. Being Raichu.
Let's play a game, /vp/. Take any ONE move from a single line, and give it to another line that shares at least one type. I'll start.
>Take Seismic Toss
>Give to Audino
>Cosmic Power
>Give to Sylveon
>Sing
>Give to Pidgeot
>>26746683
>Softboiled
>give it to Audino
>The battle is over at the end of any turn when all of the Pokémon of one Trainer have fainted. The players are ranked, and a victor is declared based on the number of Pokémon each defeated and the number of Pokémon each has remaining in play.
Battle Royal confirmed to be a flop
>everyone gangs up on the black kid
>>26746660
Looks like bulky attackers and priority will be strongest
How come noone in the gaming press brings stuff up like this to developers? How come noone asked Masuda about the Nidorina/Nidoqueen thing?
I fucking hate everything about this gen so far.
I bet you haven't caught 'em all, either
hate this!
*unsheathes repetitious digits*
>>26746656
That's okay, you'll still give Gamefreak your money.
Here we purpose possible new Pokémon for Alola. The designs don't necessairly have to be native to Hawaii. Otherwise cool possible fakemon and story ideas about SM.
I'll start with this monkey. The capuchin are known to use stones to crush nuts to get inside. So I was thinking a rock-type capuchin.
Next up the Bombardier beetle. The intense chemical weapon from it's gut squirts near boiling water (scald) at enemies. I was thinking Bug/(Poison?/Elec?/Fire?) Maybe an evolution into Bug/Water. I don't know
Next one is ofcourse the Dolphin. This is a bottlenose Dolphin, some of the smartest out there. Advanced fishing techniques. I was feeling a base Water then evolve into Water/Psychic
A komodo dragon pokemon. Dragon/poison (it has venom, used to kill waterbuffalo) It is the largest reptile on land, so maybe make a twist and make it one of the oldest known dragons in pokemon world. Besides "The original" of course
