I love all Pokemon, but I love Alola Ratatta slightly less than the others.

Wait a second the official website is differentiating "Sleepy Snorlax" from "Pulverizing Snorlax," so they may have just revealed the Z crystals that change the pokemon's form, which is rumored how Greninja acquires its new form as well as how Solgaleo and Lunaala go into their glowing forms

How long are we expecting Z Moves to be? Limit Break length, Summons, Knights of the Round?

Ho-oh Z-Move is Rebirth Flame. It needs to be holding Sacred Ash to use it instead of a Z-Stone

"Unlike ordinary Rattata, urban areas are Alolan Rattata’s main habitat. They are nocturnal and live in nests of several dozen. Alolan Raticate serve as their bosses. As a countermeasure to the exploding Rattata population in the Alola region, Yungoos were imported and released. To better avoid Yungoos, Rattata changed their preferred environments and circadian rhythms. These adaptations to their new environment led to their changed form. They pay no attention to foods that aren’t fresh."

Munchlax is adorable and I reset my game of Pokemon X 10 times so I could get a female Snorlax to be it's mother instead of a Ditto.

Is there a way in XY to get the PSS to stop popping up dialogues about its different features ("This is a Battle Spot", "Click on a face to...", Etc)? It's kind of annoying the poo poo out of me.

So Alola Rattatas are dark types and in their description are compared to a crime mob running amok in cities with Alola Raticates being compared to mob bosses.

Yungoos was brought into Alola to deal with a pest pokemon problem, and Gumshoos is literally a detective mongoose.

We've got rodent crime wars going on in Alola :allears:

it's mirroring an event that actually happened in hawaii. farmers brought in mongoose to help get rid of the rat population that was booming but the rats were nocturnal and the mongoose isn't, so

it didn't really work

Holy poo poo. I didn't know how easy it is to install Homebrew on your 3DS. The last time I looked into it a few years ago, you needed to buy physical hardware.

It's not quite as easy as the GTS system was in Gen 5, but PKHex is still awesome.

Smogon can give you some tips. Look up your favorite pokemon and see what kind of sets they have written up for them.
