The latest Pokemon fakes out at least took the time to check some grammar. It seems there is agreement in the fan community that even if they are fake that the artist got the right idea of what a Pokemon is. The English translation was an edit made to the original pictures.

If these are real I'm going to have a very hard time choosing between the platypus and the bunny.

Oh dude I feel ya. Usually I lean towards fire starters but that platypus is cute as gently caress. Probably fake, but it would be a nice surprise like last time if they weren't. Gen VII was actually the only instance I loved every single starter unabashedly. They have been getting better over the years.

Let's say I planted some berries in the Pelago and don't check back on them for a long time, do they disappear or will they stay in there forever until I check on 'em?

I ask 'cause I'm pretty much "done" with US right now for the foreseeable future, but I just planted some berries that I only had 1 of. I know it's not a big deal, but just curious if I'm going to need to turn the game on and harvest those berries lest I have to search them out all over again.

It probably is since the 3DS games provide a number of ways that make EV allocation a breeze. I haven't purposely bought a vitamin in a really long time.

There's actually going to be an Ultra Beast exclusive to Ultra Sun. Otherwise you're getting the exclusives for the other version.

The Pokemon can be transferred between games no problem.

The exceptions are anything that didn't exist back in Sun, like the new Ultra Beasts. This also applies to totem-size Pokemon(you can get them as in-game gifts as part of a sidequest) that weren't totems in the original Sun/Moon.

Trying to decide on what team to use, I am torn between using Pokes I've never used before and Pokes exclusive to Ultra Moon. I think I'm settling with these



Yes, I am the one guy who has never used Metagross.

And technically on Sun I used Rowlett and never evolved him, so Decidueye counts as "new".

While building the team I realised how lackluster some of the old starters are for lacking a secondary type.

I wish they'd retroactively made Feraligatr Water/Fighting, Meganium Grass/Fairy and Typhlosion uuuuuh Fire/Steel? Fire/Dark? When including any of these into my team I find myself either lacking type coverage or resistance. At least Feraligatr has a decent ability though.

Well I went and tested it anyways since cloning pokemon is so easy in Crystal- turns out maximizing the stats is a complete waste of time as they're re-rolled when you transfer them to the 3DS games

I have so many Pokemon from previous generations that I wanted to use but never got around to that this might be the first Pokemon game where my party ends up not including any of the new ones. Right now I have a Salazzle, but my "starter" was a Venipede I bred back in Pokemon Y, and I think I'd rather keep the one that isn't going to be obliterated by a Diglett.

Now I'm thinking about about adding something kind of esoteric like an Unfezant or a Throh. I remember being all about the Johto Pokemon back in Gen 4, and I think it might just be that something has to be two generations old before I really appreciate it.
