Is the battle AI smarter this time?

Opponents are generally able to predict a supereffective hit and switch in an Immunity or resistance if they can. One of the harder fights in the game is somewhat avid with this.

 

[ironmang]

Going pick this up from GameStop tonight.

Probably doing the same. Haven't bought a new pokemon on release day since Gold 16-17 years ago.

Early next year. ):

Decidueye is gonna squash that shit QUICK.

I heard it was SLOW.

 

[pariah164]

I heard it was SLOW.

Don't talk shit about the best starter. You know better.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Faster than the other two. And most of the new pokemon in general lol

Did Nintendo ever hold up their promise that we could transfer our pokemon from the Red/Blue/Yellow VC games to Pokemon Bank?

 

[Phionoxx]

What is the general consensus on the post game this time around? Better than ORAS?

 

[Maintenance]

Don't talk shit about the best starter. You know better.

I've used Decidueye and I can say that I kinda regret it. I ended up using more Arcanine and Metagross, there are too many dark / ghost type moves that wreck him, especially in the physical side.

Tonight for my Sun playthrough I'm getting Litten for a change (four gens without picking the Fire starter).

 

[Hidden One]

Decidueye best starter.

 

[Chiramii]

Decidueye best starter.

Did I hear someone say Primarina?

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Lame the digital preorder says the time has passed but no dice.

Can you elaborate?

Litten's moveset is worrying but I like the look of the final evo. I love the owl's first evo but not a huge fan of his final, though the moveset looks awesome. And that water one...well, let's just say I wish it didn't exist.

Nvm you did Def still gonna use him

 

[Aaronrules380]

Yep. D:. THough it's happened before, so I'm not surprised

 

[ffdgh]

The time has passed yet it's not playable. Lame

Too many dark physical moves (crunch, knock off, assurance, among others) during the main quest plus his terrible defense.

He is good, he's not "bad". But he needs a good core, and I couldn't find one because I was playing completely blind.

 

[JStein0222]

Anybody going to nickname their starter? What are you thinking?

 

[Hidden One]

Did I hear someone say Primarina?

Primarina for worst Pokemon design ever.

Yes, ever worst than Garbodor.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

I heard from a guy who played the leaked game that Pokemon Moon's time shift isn't there from the beginning of the game, and that it might only be for a short time during the plot like the frozen Unova in Black 2/White 2. For anyone who's actually played it, does the time shift start from the beginning?

Always in effect except during certain segments/cutscenes that are set to take place during a certain time of day.

Also

Spoiler

post-game you'll have the option to go from 12-hour shifted time to regular time.

Mine was Owliver. Owliver Queen if I could fit it all.

My Litten will be Naoto.

Ducidueye will be OvO.

 

[pariah164]

I always nickname my mons. If my Rowlet is male, will probably name it Artemis. If female, Athena.

Spoiler

Yes, I know Artemis is a goddess. I'm a fan of Sailor Moon, back off.

 

[ffdgh]

Azura for popplio.

It's true, it was just funny watching everyone act like the sky was falling in the spoilers thread when the stats were revealed.

 

[ScientificPizza]

is there a specific time in the game when you transfer the greninja from the demo, or can you do it immediately?

 

[DeployThatPizza]

Anybody going to nickname their starter? What are you thinking?

I always nickname my pokemon. I'm not entirely sure what I want to name Incineroar yet.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I've decided to name my team after fate series classes. Only problem is I'm going to have to stretch for my sixth to be saber or lancer

 

[balladofwindfishes]

how has Amazon not shipped this game yet.

How do they plan on getting me my stuff by tomorrow. It's 7pm...

 

[Munch Poke]

Did Nintendo ever hold up their promise that we could transfer our pokemon from the Red/Blue/Yellow VC games to Pokemon Bank?

I'm curious about that too. I know it's still on the site that it's a real thing but I don't think any more details have been given.

My Litten will be named T-bone. After the Swat Katz pilot.

 

[theprodigy]

Azura for popplio.

[LotusHD]

Anybody going to nickname their starter? What are you thinking?

I'm corny as fuck, so probably Owliver.

 

[DecoReturns]

Anybody going to nickname their starter? What are you thinking?

For Litten, I'm Thinking; El Gato or El Tigre

Only now I got his reference, damn.

Does Popplio learn Perish Song or something?

 

[Zomba13]

Decidueye = Robin Hoot
Incineroar = Tiger Mask

I always name for the final form.

You sir are awesome.

Amazon must be sleeping.

It actually does via breeding.

it gets it as an egg move

For Litten, I'm Thinking; El Gato or El Tigre

If you get a female, you could always roll with Hellcat.

What is objectively the best starter gameplay wise? And what's the worst? Want to see how it mixes with my aesthetic taste.

Not sure how you'd determine this? Competitive use? Main game? And if the latter, how would people have any idea? I'd say Incineroar is probably the least competitive though

 

[Maintenance]

I would say Primarina / Popplio will have an easier path if you're one of those that tend to stick with your starter. Water / Fairy + good Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense is just too OP.

*Main story only.

If you're using external rules (no items, level cap, etc) then you might have a problem because it won't have a recovery move like Decidueye (Roost) or Incineroar (Leech Life)

 

[theprodigy]

speedruns, unless the starter gets ditched early ala XY

 

[Neoleo2143]

Primarina's probably the Strongest Starter and Decidueye is the weakest.

Rowlet would probably be the worst competitively.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Rowlet would probably be the worst competitively.

Not Necessarily. Smogon's been determining Rowlet's use as a very interesting user of Defog.
