Pokemon Generation VII: Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon *Leaks/Spoilers ahead!*

[Dr. Wily II]

The previous global mission prize of 5 Rare Candies and 1 Love Ball is currently available on the PGL. Don't forget to claim it before 31st May 2017.

The latest Global Mission is now live, and it's all about collecting Poke Beans from the Poke Pelago, 3,000,000 Poke Beans in fact. Rewards are 2,000 FC (Success), 200 FC (Failure). If the game is tied to a Global Link account, it is instead 4,000 FC (Success), 400 FC (Failure). This Mission runs until May 8th 2017 23:59 UTC.

If you collect 30 or more Poke Beans, then you will earn a Rare Candy and if 6,000,000 Poke Beans are collected, all players with a PGL account will get a Level Ball.

So get collecting!

So we're getting Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon on November 17th, which unusually is a 3rd version but with 2 versions. 

It will have the standard more Pokemon that weren't in the previous versions, as well as Solgaleo and Lunala fused with Necrozma. 

On a side note we also have Pokken Deluxe on Switch and Pokemon Gold and Silver on the VC.  Oddly no Crystal though.

[Dr. Wily II]

Darn, I wasn't expecting a Black2/White2 scenario so soon...

check the unown text in this screencap from the GS VC trailer

On a side note we also have Pokken Deluxe on Switch and Pokemon Gold and Silver on the VC.  Oddly no Crystal though.

I guess they noticed that on 1st gen everyone got Yellow and didn't want to repeat?  That means no Extremespeed Dratini, though.  Oh well, VC transfers are horrid since you can't predict Natures.

Pokken DX is nice since the Wii U wasn't getting the arcade's updates, so there should be some substantial new content there.  I never did get around to the original.

Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon...  It's not that they look bad, it's just that honestly I'm ready for the 3DS to die.  I get that the demand is there and it only makes sense from a business perspective, but once you get your hands on a Switch it's really hard to go back, ESPECIALLY for RPGs which are games that demand long hours (a shame because I really really like the looks of Ever Oasis).  They could have done one 3DS version and one Switch version like they did with the first Mystery Dungeon on GBA/DS.

There is actually a way to manipulate Natures of the VC Gen 1 Pokemon, it's based on the last digit of their EXP oddly enough.

We finally got some new information since the initial trailer, there's gonna be a 3rd Lycanroc form called the Dusk Form.

[Waifu]

Can anyone help me find a Feebas? Feebas is hard to catch in any Pokemon games.

As usual, GameFreak makes sure that the elite can break the game.  I should have guessed.  However it also seems to reroll IVs randomly (They couldn't have just doubled the Gen1 IVs and cloned Special?).  I mean, three perfect guaranteed is nothing to sneeze at, if you want breeding fodder, but to use the actual Pokemon you had originally it's still a small gamble.

Well, whatever, I'm off the Pokemon train until it comes to Switch.  I'm trying to avoid insanely long play times on my 3DS anymore, hoping to not have to carry multiple systems around.

New videos have been uploaded for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, showing the protagonists' new clothes, and a new map of Alola... With a ominous opening above Poni Island.

New locales abound, and looks like Elite Four Kahili, and Champion challenger Ryuki will be a bit more involved in the story.

And it looks like Ash's Rockruff could be the Wifi event for the games' release.

[Reaperoid]

The last few Mega Stones are out, and it's been revealed all the codes will expire by Halloween.

Here's an infographic from Reddit with all the codes

[Sakura Leic]

Noted, I think I got most of them.

[Satoryu]

I hope that they are more easily available in Ultra.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah me too, I mean ugh having to buy all those Mega Stones for 64 BP a pop?

[Dr. Wily II]

New information has been revealed for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Quite a bit actually.

[spoiler]So it's stated that Necrozma captured Solgaleo and Lunala to gain its new formes Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma respectively. Was Necrozma evil all along, or just wanted to be complete like Kyurem?

New version exclusive Ultra Beasts. UB: Burst for Ultra Sun, and UB: Assembly for Ultra Moon. These guys are even more eldritch.

A special Rockruff will be the early bird WiFi gift, and will know either Fire Fang in Ultra Sun, or Thunder Fang in Ultra Moon. This Rockruff will only be able to evolve into the recently revealed Dusk Form Lycanroc. And a new exclusive Z-move is revealed that is shared between the 3 Lycanroc forms: Splintered Stormshards, which besides dealing massive damage, seems to have the secondary effect of removing whether "terrain" has been set up, as seen in the battle with Tapu Koko.

And if you preorder the VC version of Pokemon Gold and Silver, you will be able to get Celebi into Ultra Suna and Ultra Moon. Details likely in the future.

Lastly... Most importantly... SURFBOARDS.[/spoiler]

[Mirby]

Have a nifty poster.

[Sakura Leic]

Now that I have gotten some sleep I have noticed there are 4 figures shadowed over on the top and have outlined them in paint.

[Reaperoid]

Ash's Pikachu is live, through the code PIKACHU20
Though, I'll wait a few weeks for the Unova hat, due to Volt Tackle

[Dr. Wily II]

Yea, I'm not sure why the code is shared for all the Pikachus...
I want all of them, not one of them!!

[Reaperoid]

Not so much the code, as all the mystery gifts being the same ID.
Well... Sacrifice a game card to catch em all!!

[Dr. Wily II]

NEVAR!!

Direct quote from Serebii for something mildly interesting.

In The Games Department
Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

The magazine CoroCoro Ichiban has revealed a new piece of Merchandise, a Deluxe version of the Rotom Pokédex toy. This Pokédex toy doesn't reveal much, but on the screen it shows Dusk Mane Necrozma with the Pokédex Number of 400 rather than the 300 it had in Sun & Moon. This follows on from the alteration of Alola Pokédex number for Rockruff from 103 to 126 indicating a shift in Pokémon available in the Alola Pokédex. We'll provide full details as they come

[Dr. Wily II]

Guess that means the Alola Pokedex has reshuffled and there are new additions since SunMoon.

Matches with the whole alternate storyline.

[Mirby]

I just want a full National Pokedex in USUM.

I NEED TO HEAR WHAT ROTOMDEX SAYS ABOUT HIMSELF DAMMIT

[Dr. Wily II]

New info has been released.

[spoiler]
The Island Challenge is back, with some changes. Like Mina finally having a proper trial, and a Totem Alolan Marowak. Footage shows there are changes to  Sophocles' and Mallow's trial as well.

The Alola Photo Club is shown, where you can choose poses and add accessories.

New Pokemon can be found, including Tropius, Zorua, Larvesta, Larvitar, Houndoom in Ultra Sun and Manectric in Ultra Moon.

Lastly, a new PokeRide called the Mantine Surf. Using this, you can finally surf between the islands on top of Mantine like a surfboard. You can even perform tricks on the rolling waves like a real surfboarder!![/spoiler]
