Pokemon has a lot of problems to deal with- they caused most of them anyways

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
The demo only allowing movement via the circle pad, not the d-pad, still throws me. No doubt I'll confuse myself with it multiple times playing the full game.
Tomorrow can't come soon enough. Mom is making me go Thanksgiving-grocery shopping with her in exchange for driving me to GameStop, so I don't get to play it until into the afternoon.

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
I haven't even played the demo yet and I'm already disappointed about this.Junior Tycon wrote:Spoiler:
Yes, it's great for players who needed help with type advantages, but it's a downfall for those who don't need or want it.
I really hope there's an option to turn that feature off because it's just going to make me a lazy battler and I won't find that enjoyable. I personally take a lot of pride in remembering what is effective and what is not, plus what type each Pokemon is. The reason why I'm so proud of myself is because when I was a kid, I used to just pick whatever move looked really cool and did a lot of damage (basically "Earthquake and Muddy Water everything!"). When I was older and wanted to try to figure out how to increase my chances of winning a battle, I started to learn more about type advantages and this won me more battles than I used to when I was like 6: Wreck everything and hope it hits them. I like thinking and trying to strategize what works and what doesn't because it helps me learn. :/

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
My post is spoiler heavy, but I guess if your reading this thread it's to be expected.
My thoughts so far:
I'm impressed with the animation of the game. Gamefreak has really upped its style. The walking paths are really cool. I love some of the new features even though they are small, such as being able to pause a Pokémon in the Pokedex. The beginning of the game is really interesting, and they actually give the player a normal house and mom has a room, and Pokémon have beds. I love that.
I think rotom is a cool addition, however I wish it didn't talk so much. Like I don't mind it speaking in the game because sometimes it reflects my own thoughts, but it says the same thing after every time I capture a Pokémon which is kinda irritating to me.
I haven't decided if I like the route where the new journey is going, I do miss the gyms, but maybe it will improve as I go on... I only just left the first island.
XD I got to this part last night and I'm having such a hard time capturing eevee because of it. I was really surprised when eevee called an espeon for help. I guess it can all all of its evolutions then??Vixena wrote: Wild Eevee called for help!
Eevee appeared!
OH GOD IT NEVER ENDS

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
Anyone else starting to think the Z-moves look more like Final Fantasy summons than Pokemon attacks? I just got Primarina's exclusive Z-move, and jeez it's an impressive animation. Kinda long to see over and over again tho.

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
The first hit will always be negated because of Mimi's ability, so don't lead with your best move.RaptorBlu3 wrote:I caught the Eevee with a Pokeball. Now it's sitting in my box. I NEED HELP ON TOTEM MIMIKYU!!
It's ghost/fairy and it's strongest move is a fairy attack. It's also a physical attacker.
I ended up basically just hitting it as hard as I could with my starter's Z-move. Ghost/Fairy means it doesn't have many weaknesses.
...Type and ability also make Mimi an excellent lead in later battles. Took like half an hour to find one, but she is awesome. I love this weird little thing.

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
Thx. I will try to use a Z-Move, and believe me, I HAVE NOT USED A SINGLE Z-MOVE IN POKEMON SUN AND MOON! I used one in the demo. I am thinking of taking some Alpha Sapphire Pokemon and using them with the type advantages. It's good that we have a Thanksgiving break so I can wipe off my frustration and punch that doll in the face.
Where did u find ur Mimikyu? When it was revealed I personally found it as a "must have" for my team.

After you beat Totem Mimikyu, go back into the trial site and it's one of the random encounters there. Only a 5% chance of showing up tho.

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
Has anybody heard of the Z-SPLASH?!?!?! If u use a Normalium Z and power up the move Splash, then it will say the usual "But nothing happened!" but the Pokemon that just used Z-Splash gets three times the current attack power that they have!

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
stufful just might be the cutest pokemon alive. it's animation is freakin' adorable, and just when i thought it couldn't get any cuter, i look in it's pokedex entry and notice it has a tag under it's butt. like a little tiny toy tag. my heart is melting.
i want it on my team but i rlly don't like it's evo.

I noticed the little tag too. Like, is that your tail, or are you literally a magic teddy bear? Its cry is adorable too.
We got some really good designs this time around, minus Persian. *glares at the fat-face, which glares back*

Re: Pokemon Alola Sun & Moon
My parents are basically not allowing my sister and I to have either Sun or Moon because neither of them are on sale.
I'm so angry. I'm apparently allowed to have the Project Diva games on the day they come out at full price, but we're not allowed to have Pokemon games until Black Friday. But guess what? All of the shops screwed us over and made sure both games are full price with no promotions if you want both. THANKS- Basically have to wait another month or year before either of us have Sun or Moon. Now I have to sit here and avoid my twitter feed because people are spoiling the game already.
