Pokémon Sun & Moon |OT| Ultra Beasts and where to find them

I'm picking up both of these games later on today, what's the biggest difference between Sun/Moon and the last pokemon game that I played, I think it might have been HG/SS?

This is the first and only time I will ever level up a Caterpie in the early game. I've always avoided them before, but figured why not this time. Butterfree at level 10 will be worth it, but damn do Caterpie and Metapod suck right now.

I will need a third party member soon though because Rowlet and Butterfree are almost the same types. Rockruff needs to show up soon.
 
Just beat the second Kahuna. This is so far the best Pokemon game ever, easily. It feels so fresh and polished.

Poke ride replacing HM's is the best change the series has ever seen.
 
Wondertrade for me is nothing but Pipikeks and Ledybas so far lol.

I just want one with Pokerus ;-;
I'd give a few days for players to reach postgame and start breeding competitive sets.

Remember that catching Pokerus is rarer than catching a shiny.

Also is it me or why do the dialog selection seems pointless?

Like Kukui talks about Rotom, the choices are "Really?!" and "Rotom?!" I picked the former, but his dialog sounds like I chose Rotom since he explains Rotom immediately. It's also apparent in the choices before that.
There are a few that have some one sentence differences like about the first hour of the game:
What terrible thing did you do to get called to the office so soon?
(options) Nothing! or Well...
(selecting nothing) That’s what you say...
(selected well...) So you did do something?!

France apparently broke street date nationwide? I wish the uk would :(
Great Gamefreak will continue delaying the game a week thinking "doesn't matter 'europe' will just sell it a week early anyways" rather than I don't know get French suppliers to not send them out early anymore.

IIRC France is pretty terrible with street dates in general. I remember both Xenoblade games were sold about a week early there.

It's just disappointing because I know by the time U.K. Release rolls around my international friends will be hitting the endgame and wrapping things up already and the initial hype wave will be over.

Soooo I was thinking of replaying Emerald while I wait for the 23rd... how are you other Europeans dealing with the wait? I'm pretty bored, it'll feel surreal when I actually get to play lol

Nah, you actually get somewhat different dialogue depending on your choice. There's also a point in the game where certain people will say different things depending on the order you see them in.

I'm pressing F5 on the page of my order

Patience is a virtue.
 
Man, today's going to be the longest day at work. My copies should have arrived from Amazon by the time I get home. Out for delivery right now!
 
Is there any point in keeping a pichu a pichu as long as possible? I know with Pikachu you always wanted to keep it as one until it at least learned an attack like at the late 30s if I recall. But pichu seems to be gaining really shitty stats and I can't foresee it learning any attacks that are useful that Pikachu doesn't have a better alternative.

If there isn't a reason, do we know how much time I gotta spend walking around with it while I watch TV or something to raise the happiness to max level?

Protip: Don't use the QR scanner when you get to the Pokemart. I think my hour is gonna pass before I even get to Route 2. I DON'T CARE ABOUT MALASADAS

I think Pichu entirely stops learning moves around 18 or so. As for how long you'd need to walk, I dunno, I'd say just keep it with you while you play and let it level up since that also raises happiness by a solid chunk.

I've been trying to keep on a media blackout but also I'm sort of "Pokemon'd out". Is it true the game's style is different from normal? I heard there weren't any gyms (yay)

What would be a good level to evolve Pikachu to Raichu? I think I may want to use Alolan Raichu as my Alolan form in Moon since no Ninetales.

My copies should hopefully arrive in 2-3 hours :)

Pichu learns Nasty Plot early on, after that yea I'd just evolve it.
 
THANK YOU BASED AMAZON!

My orders that were scheduled for the 22nd are on the way to my house before 8pm today! I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Learns Thunderbolt at Lv42, so unless you get the TM for it early on, that'd be best I suppose. Alternatively, it also learns Discharge at 34.

Oh baby my local post office might have my stuff today. It is there and sorted so I'm guessing it is just waiting to be "out for delivery" and then party time can begin.
 
omg I didn't realise that sexy bug thing was a moon exclusive ultra beast

Festival Plaza is so confusing. I just did a minigame where I ran around and talked to people speaking Japanese. Then I joined some group mission where we did a super effective type quiz. Now I have a Hoenn Tent in my festival plaza.

This is what I was afraid of. Festival Plaza seemed really confusing from what I was gleaning prerelease.

Has anyone received the Amazon dual pack with the steel book?

Amazon has yet again messed up guaranteed release day delivery for my order.

I want to know if the games are totally separate with Y-Fold seal and if they sale "Not for Resale" on the barcode.

I am thinking about buying two copies and then returning the ones from Amazon when they finally come in.

If you have prime, make sure to chat with them and tell them you didn't get the delivery they promised. They generally give you +1 month of prime extension free
