The Damned

Yeah, all the events have been datamined, picked apart and checked by multiple sources, so we know (SPOLERS) everything that happens (SPOILERS) in the demo. Mainly, you get some items that you can send to your Sun and Moon games when they come out. That's it. No big reveals, no surprises, no events. Just some items. Well, at least this demo isn't pulling that limited number of plays bullshit that all the other demos do...

If you mean Lillie, nope. That's just her being introduced in the demo.

Yes?

Hey, Red and Blue make appearances as guest battlers. Kind of like how gen 5 had the Pokémon World Tournament. That's cool.

Just a reminder that on October 31st, three event downloads will be ending. Volcanion and Darkrai from GameSteop/EB Games and the three Regis from accessing Pokémon Bank all expire at the end of the month. That's only four more days. The Registeel, Regirock and Regice all have a special Ability that you can't get from any other source, so those will be pretty rare. Volcanion hasn't been given out before, so this is the last time you may be able to get it. Unless there's another chance to get one sometime after Sun and Moon come out. But that may not be for several years. Darkrai is a pretty cool guy, kinda emo sometimes, but that's only because he's Dark type. But he does learn Cut... so... way to live down that cliche, Darkrai.

I'm technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Mega Evos were confirmed weeks ago in a video. Mega Lucario as shown in a battle.

I would want to test-drive it a bit. Like, not just in a store. Sitting there at home is one thing, because you can put the controller on the table. But now I've got a tablet with big controllers that slide on the sides. How heavy is it? How is the battery life? What about overall performance? Is it worth using as a portable(ish?) device? No one will know until they get their hands on it.

No, you're right. I was going by a rather nicely put together list of components taken from Nintendo's own info. Several hours later, and people have pointed out compatibility issues, power drain concerns, and no one else has been able to find this exact list on the page.

1: They call it Nintendoium for a reason. I once dropped a GBA SP down a flight of concrete fire stairs. It still works. GameCubes could be dropped from ten feet and still hold together. They're the best at making durable, reliable hardware. 2. Just... look up a few messages. 3. The specs are known now, just go look them up. And every new console has a minority of fanboys bitching about something they haven't seen themselves. This is nothing new, and nothing to worry about.

Bank (and to a lesser extent, Wonder Trade) uses a check system to make sure that certain flags are or are not present when it tries to upload/download to a game. Most of the times it's things like "is this pokémon attached to a Cherish Ball?" or "what's the regional origin?" and the like. It's not perfect, but it does help keep blatant cheats from being tossed around. I see no reason why they can't just edit that to say "this pokémon now has this move" and let it pass the check.

Got to play the demo at work. The first day of stuff is actually kind of limited, yes. But in a few days some new stuff will open up, so that's cool. I like the guy at the store in the pokécenter store. "My boss will be back in a month", because that's when Sun and Moon are released. Subtle, Game Freak. Subtle.

The eShop was "updated" to open access to the demo, so that different parts of the world could get it at certain times. But all that really did was make everyone connect to the eShop over and over to see if it was up yet. Now that it is, everyone is downloading the demo.

According to the info dumps of the demo, there are timed events, so after so many days, new content opens and you can do more. It's like the ORAS demo, where after so many playthroughs, it would give you new areas and quests.

Bam. Bleck'd. EDIT: Demo is now out! Go get it now!

Agreed. The demo will be out in a few days, in case you didn't hear about it. In it, you get a Greninja, that happens to alter its appearance like the one tht Ash from the cartoons series has. It may also have some surprises that haven't been announced yet. We'll see soon enough.

For all the flack Pokémon gets for "being the same game every time", they've been mixing it up a lot since Black and White. Not massive shifts, but significant ones for each generation.

I wonder if there is any way to make my Muk (who hails from my Sapphire cart and has been transferred to each new generation) into the Alolan form. I suspect that with the compatibility Pokémon Bank will get with the Virtual Console versions of RBY in January, only Gen 1 pokémon from those games will be able to convert (somehow) to their new Alolan forms. Otherwise... I guess my Muk is still going to be weak to Psychic attacks. But yeah, Type: Null gets a much better look and name with its evo. And it's speculated that it's somehow a clone or recreation of our Lord and Creator, Arceus (Blessed Be His Current Type). Similar looks, same kind of Ability (it's even called RKS, which sounds like Ar-Key-Us, which is the official pronunciation of Arceus), all that jazz. Could be fun. Also... Olivia. Fuck damn, girl. I mean, just... daaaaayyyyum.

Ahhh, just been informed that the current Hoopa event ends today and midnight. So if you haven't grabbed one yet, you got about 12 hours as of this post to do so now. https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemontrades/wiki/events That code again is 2016HOOPA and must be used before the clock rolls over to the 10th.

Well, after a week or so, it magically started working again. I'll take the credit for this one.

Just remembered that the Regi event ends on the 31st, so if you never got them, Regice, Registeel and Regirock can all be obtained by accessing your Pokémon Bank account. Each one will have its special Ability instead of the the regular one, and because it's an event pokémon, at least three of six stats will be maxed out, so they aren't exactly useless, either. Also, I can edit the first page again! Yay!

Blame Firefox's autocorrect. Also, the game's file size is out. For reference, XY is 1.7 GB/14 000 blocks, and ORAS is 1.8GB/14 500.

I've been trying to update the first post and title to reflect that, but the server keeps kicking it back with an error code. I put a post about it in Help, but a few days later, no replies. I've been trying to update the topic since Saturday, but it won't let me. I can't even change the title anymore. (EDIT: Yeah, just tried again right now, and it's still not letting me save any changes.) So, in case anyone is wondering: Keledo, from WiFi until October 31st Volcanion, from a GameStop/EBGames card with a code, from October 10th to October 31st Hoopa, by entering the code 2016HOOPA, until October 31st Darkrai, by entering the code DARKRAI20, until October 31st (If you got Darkrai from the previous event, this one is the same, so you can't get it again) I've had my Keledos and Hoopas since the 1st, and hope to score a few extra cards once the event is unlocked.
