That may not be a glitch. In some dialogue in the game, they call the Pokemon by its species name and not its nickname (IIRC, the first time you challenge the Elite 4, Kukui mentions the species name of the Pokemon first in your party).

The whole point of the Switch is to pool their games together onto one console to reduce software droughts, Nintendo had a lot of problems with that with the Wii U. So yeah, it's a pretty safe assumption that the main series will be on Switch in 8th gen. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a...

Eh, I don't really think now's a good time for Sinnoh, not with the Switch looming on the horizon and they could do a lot more with it there. I do want to see some of the things you mentioned though. The Distortion World is just begging for a connection to the Ultra Beasts, and new Sinnoh forms...

So now that the game is out and we've had enough time to play it, we're at a point where we can start to form opinions on the game. So what did you think about the game? Did you like it or did you not like it? What specifically did you like or not like about it? How do you think it compares to...

I do like the amount of strategy employed by some of the Totem Pokemon, it makes for an interesting challenge. Salazzle has Toxic + Venoshock, Lurantis spams Synthesis, and Vikavolt holds an Occa Berry. Definitely not something you can sweep through easily like gym leaders in past games.

Yes it does. You can hear the cries of Pokemon that are catchable in the grass in this game. IIRC, that cry you hear in the demo is Yungoos'.

I have a question myself actually. Where can you find evolution stones in the game? I'm specifically looking for a Thunderstone to evolve my Pikachu.

Well, I have the game now, I just finished up MeleMele Island and here's what my team looks like right now: Brionne (nicknamed Aria) Lv. 17 Trumbeak Lv. 16 Pichu (nicknamed Aunt Jemima) Lv. 15 Magnemite Lv. 15 Alola Persian Lv. 16 Rockruff Lv. 13 Trumbeak, Magnemite, and Alola Persian are...

Well guys, Sun and Moon are finally out! And as you're progressing through the game and making new discoveries, you might get stuck and need help. Use this thread to post any questions that can be answered with a single response, for instance: "Where can I catch a Pichu?" "How do I get to Ten...

Hoo boy, there's a lot of things: -Nearly everything in English class aside from grammar, spelling, and vocab. A lot of my English classes have focused on literature, which is useless to pretty much every career and IMO isn't being taught correctly. I've learned more about literature from 3...

I think I've decided on my team: Primarina Alola Raichu Mimikyu Salandit Midnight Lycanroc Some type of older Ground type (probably Flygon) The first three are definite locks on my team, the rest are mainly for balance. I don't really like any of the Ground types shown, so I'll probably just...

Eh, they'd probably go for popular characters first and foremost, so I don't see a lot of the admins making the cut. I could maybe see Malva showing up, but aside from her, I don't think any of the admins are really that prominent.

Yellow is a manga exclusive character, it's unlikely we'll see her show up in the video games.

Evil team leaders would be interesting, but some of them wouldn't be very feasible candidates to show up. Cyrus and Lysandre suffered unknown fates at the end of their respective games (Cyrus was trapped in the Distortion World at the end of Platinum and Lysandre was caught in the collapse of...

So the most recent news update announced a facility called the Battle Tree, where you can battle against past Champions and other notable trainers in the series and then Multi Battle with them. So far the following characters are confirmed to show up: Red Blue Cynthia Wally Are you excited...

A lot of this has been leaked, so it's really not that exciting a reveal. Also not terribly impressed with the Battle Tree since it's basically Not PWT (is this really the "amazing facility we can't believe"?), but at least we don't have another generic facility again.

I have to agree that Game Freak doesn't seem to be thinking things through with Alola forms and that the execution is subpar. This generation was supposed to be about simplicity, wasn't it? So why do they have the old Megas AND Alola forms? Because that's sure making things a whole lot more...

When I was in first grade, everyone started playing the TCG at school, so I started playing as well. I eventually got into the anime when I saw VHSes in BJ's. The games I got into a little later, not until GS came out, because my parents were reluctant to let me play video games.

The main point of the console is to hybridize home consoles and handhelds and allow you to play the same games in either environment. In other words, it's supposed to be like the 3DS and Wii U combined into one console. The system offers benefits to both environments that separately they...

I also see 8th gen launching on the Switch in 2018/2019, and that'll be a big deal for the series since the 8th gen games would be the first main series games playable on console. Gameplay wise, between the home console environment and the different ways the console can handle multiplayer, I can...
