Pokemon Sun and Moon

The demo was fine. I liked having to experience a trial, the totem Pokémon was nice too. Team Skull was my absolute favorite part of the demo. I love these guys already, they have an Earthbound type quirkiness to them that I just love. Can't wait to see more of these guys. Ash Greninja, the Z move, and the Pokémon catching challenge were all pretty nice too. I wasn't very fond of the battle music with the exception of Team Skull's and the admin battle, only that, their encounter theme, and the town you start out in really stood out to me in the music department. The rest are fine but not very great.

Here's the latest trailer.



I really like all of the starters this time around, Tapu Lele is my favorite of the island Pokemon, Cosmog seems to be Lillie's Pokemon and I do wander how different the league will be this time.

Did you pre-order Sun or Moon on Amazon? While you might have to wait a few more days or even up to a week if your not a prime member.

I'm guessing they ended up getting more pre-orders then stock and I guess it should have been expected from the most pre-ordered Nintendo game to date.

Nope, I pre-ordered my copies buying their tickets at the local Meijer store. Also, yea I can belive that it was the highest pre-order game since GameFreak has been showing Z-moves & pokemon from the game since the very start.

Final trailer before launch!

Mawilite and Beedrillite will be distributed to all players that did 3 battles in the February International Challenge. Registration is from February 16 at 0:00 UTC to February 23 at 23:59 UTC, and the competition will be from February 24 at 0:00 UTC to February 26 at 23:59 UTC.

Also, QR Rental Teams and Friendly Competitions are now available.

Hey guys lets release the mega stones for an event that only lasts 3 days. While I'm happy this means the mega stones are coming it sucks that not every player will be able to get them.

I heard that those two mega stones were going to be distributed. Glad to know it was true. Not really too bad way a to distribute the missing mega stones. Fortunately not behind a paywall and not being saved for the sequels/third version if that happens. I always really liked Mawhile so I'll be participating in this one if possible. My team should be ready by then. Thank you for letting me know.

There are certainly flaws to releasing the mega stones like this, but it could certainly be worse.

Pidgeotite and Steelixite will be distributed to all players that did 3 battles in the Kanto x Alola Regional Rumble. Registration is from March 9 at 0:00 UTC to March 16 at 23:59 UTC, and the competition will be from March 17 at 0:00 UTC to March 19 at 23:59 UTC.

Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y are now available; the code is M2DESCENT.

That's a more interesting code for the Mewtwo mega stone giveaway than something more expected like "Mewtwo2017" or something similar. I like it.

If you took part in the latest International Challenge the Beedrillite & Mawilite are now live.

Nice to have those megas back even if they can't really be used for much in the current meta.

Sceptilite, Blazikenite, and Swampertite will be distributed to all players that did 3 battles in the April International Challenge. Registration is from April 19 at 0:00 UTC to April 27 at 23:59 UTC, and the competition will be from April 28 at 0:00 UTC to April 30 at 23:59 UTC.

You can pick up 4 mega stones right now.

It's nice to see that Mega Audino & Mega Medicham are back and I'm glad everyone is still able to get the mega stones via codes.
