I usually won't start until I get the guidebook. >.>

To anyone that has started, how long into the game before I can trade with myself?

Reaperoid · **Reply #551 on:** November 18, 2016, 12:20:15 PM

I'm assuming first trial. It's not something I'm sure on.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #552 on:** November 18, 2016, 12:32:17 PM

Well, I managed to find the answer on Serebii's forum.

It's in Iki Town after you win the Festival by beating Hau that has a Pichu and the starter weak to ours. Basically the E3 Nintendo Treehouse demo. Kukui will give the RotomDex, and that's when you get Festival Plaza for all my self-trade needs. After that, is the first trial.

According to Serebii, that's within the first hour or so.

Reaperoid · **Reply #553 on:** November 18, 2016, 01:45:40 PM

Oh, right, I didn't open Festival Plaza yet.

A new Japanese trailer is shown, revealing the 2 Ultra Beasts that were in the latest CoroCoro scans.

Origami is UB04 Slash, and bamboo is UB04 Blaster.
Based on the vid, Slash looks to be Sun-exclusive, and Blaster is Moon-exclusive.

I don't get my games until next week. The anticipation is getting to me. I spoiled myself on how the new Pokemon evolve. Thankfully they're all pretty standard methods. No Sylveon type stuff or anything.

Seems we have some good news in that Sun and Moon will not be too [acid burst] easy. It has the Gen 5 EXP system now.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #557 on:** November 19, 2016, 03:04:21 AM

That's... Something.

Rare sighting of me at the grocery store.

I caught a level 10 Salamence. Send help.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #561 on:** November 20, 2016, 07:50:24 AM

Wha.....WAS THAT IN AN SOS BATTLE OR SOMETHING, WHAT?!

Reaperoid · **Reply #562 on:** November 20, 2016, 07:58:43 AM

Bagon called for help, and yea... That happened.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #563 on:** November 20, 2016, 08:20:20 AM

Damn that's nuts.

FUCKYEA

So, just to be sure, you still have to knock out the Bagon before you can catch that Salamence right?

Reaperoid · **Reply #565 on:** November 20, 2016, 09:52:19 AM

Yea, as long as the Salamence itself doesn't call, which it did...

There's another cool encounter, too, with Eevee calling the appropriate day/night evolution. The Umbreon got knocked out, but after that, I looked on Serebii, a lot of the good ones are 5% or less, so I might just be lucky.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #566 on:** November 20, 2016, 10:10:01 AM

I guess this SOS Battle feature is to help players fill up the PokeDex more easily, without the grinding some will need.

Mirby · **Reply #567 on:** November 20, 2016, 10:16:54 AM

It also helps with EV grinding and shiny hunting.

Reaperoid · **Reply #568 on:** November 20, 2016, 10:21:07 AM

From what I'm reading, it's the new chain method, as well. If you keep the same species being called, they will eventually have higher IVs or have the HA

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #569 on:** November 22, 2016, 04:38:36 AM

Just leaving this post here so I can keep an eye on this topic easier.

Mirby · **Reply #570 on:** November 22, 2016, 07:10:35 AM

There's also some Pokemon that only appear in an SOS battle wild. I think Salamence is one, but I got Clefairy and Chansey via that too.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #571 on:** November 22, 2016, 07:17:51 AM

Yeah there is, and there's even ones that only show up in specific weather conditions.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #572 on:** November 22, 2016, 07:47:29 AM

Has there been ANY news on the official names for the player characters? >.>

Sapphire Knight · **Reply #573 on:** November 22, 2016, 08:04:59 AM

Well, it may be a safe bet to assume the male player character is called 'Sun', since that's what he's called in the special demo.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #574 on:** November 22, 2016, 09:15:33 AM

Well, Brendan was named Orlando in the ORAS demo, so I'm doubtful. Though I can use it for my plans later...
