Because they get paid to give it attention obvs.
I'm tellin' you straight up, right now, as soon as sun/moon releases Imma be playin' it non-stop. Gonna do 3 playthroughs in the span of a week, 1st playthrough I'm catching and using every single pokemon, 2nd gonna be a Litten-only playthrough no evos and 3rd is gonna be a Nuzlocke. That's how hyped I am for this game.

No, they're not challenges, only the 3rd one is. When you're a kid you play through the game only using your starter right? So I want to re-live that experience and 1st playthrough obvs gonna catch and use every pokemon so I can see what they're all like.

I should do Nuzlocke for the first time in my life.

However it'll probably take a couple months before I can put my extra money into something like this.

We'll see.

I'm getting SUN via amazon, sometimes later I'll get MOON too.
For starters I'm still not decided :s
I even don't know if I should choose the girl or the boy...

Those Mareanie make for some easy trading. Got all the Moon exclusives minus a few from trading them, and they breed and hatch like crazy.

Catch two, trade for a ditto, and go crazy with em.

Right now I'm doing a full rotational with every new Pokemon and Alola form. On the third island now and all my guys are 7 levels too low. Makes for a nice challenge.

Eep, I've...managed to obtain Moon more than a week early, but still haven't had the time to progress through the game :x It's been released for a few days now, and I've only just made it to the 3rd island... at least I'm still enjoying it much more than I did with Gen 6.

I've wasted spent several hours doing random stuff like coming up with (good) nicknames for every single catch, trying to level up my Festival Plaza, purchasing and trying on different outfits, and trying to breed a shiny Growlithe, not really playing through the story... but I have a copy of Sun coming in from Amazon soon. I've wanted make Sun my main game, but now I'm more than hesitant to start fresh after clocking in nearly 40 hours. Would it be worth it to abandon ship and switch now, or should I just beat Moon first?

Just my opinion, but I'd rather finish a game first instead of leaving it incomplete. Then again, that's probably my OCD talking >.>

EDIT: These are some... rather... interesting glitches:

Serebii Note: Many people are reporting glitches when saving in Pokémon Centers and Battle Tree . Avoid saving there. https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/801132058932379650

Hope they will fix this soon..

It's not a "glitch" you can get if you haven't modified your 3DS at all.

That being said, I will not link the article that talks about that here since it mentions a program I'm highly against using. However, you can find it yourself if you know the right place to search.

So that means normal player shouldn't experience this bug by any chance? That makes me relieve a bit~

Personally, I've saved in PokeCenter for numerous times and never had any issue.

Funny thing some people are reporting that glitch as it was caused by the actual game lol.

Basically, what's been happening is that a broken version of a certain cheat program has been ruining people's save files, and instead of admitting that they have cheated, people have been reporting it as a 'game-breaking bug'. It's kinda silly, really.

Sun and Moon is Gen 6 done right. Kinda disappointed there's still not enough new pokemons though. There's not a lot of speedy pokemons either on the new pokemons. Trick Room meta perhaps?

Trick room meta? Nah more like weather and terrain meta. You got the tapu Pokemon changing the terrain and gaining boosts from it while decreasing the power of certain move types then you got new shit like Alolan ninetales which is a new, more reliable way to get hail up on the field. A good chunk of the new Pokemon, especially the alolan Pokemon have hidden abilities that boost them depending on weather, like alolan sandslash with the hail form of sand rush. A weather setter isn't necessarily going to be a must have but a tapu pokemon is. We're going back to the days of gen v. Also the eeveelutions' Z-move is broken, ban it, get it out. Trick room could never, ever be the go-to meta because if everyone started using slow Pokemons then what was the point of trick room in the first place.

Even if it won't be the meta I still think it would at least be more viable this year. and it's not like you can't combine them anyway. Not sure about your singles but I've never seen Trick Room not get used in vgc. Going back to gen five is nice. Z moves are kinda like gems. Megas are shit. Mega Kang and Salamence can go die in a fire. Such a shame Salamence is in Alola. Holy shit Torkoal and Pelipper got weather. Yeah TR Sun Torkoal maybe.

Been through 2 full boxes of Abras, still none with Adamant nature... Does anyone have a spare Adamant Abra/Ditto/Human-Like egg group Pokemon? Don't care about IVs and stuff, I'm trying to find one to use the Synchronize ability.

Or any synchronize adamant mon, for that matter.

Well... finished the main and post-story. Since I don't really care much for Battle Royal and Battle Tree, all I have left to do is finish the Alola Pokédex.

At any rate, have some dancing Team Skull: https://twitter.com/GumzaDancingTo/status/803087785536192512

I'm pretty sure Alolan Marowak walls around 70% of all the pokemon in sun/moon.

When I saw Anabel in the motel, she reminded me of Kyokou from Danganronpa, her outfit is very similar to the one she has during the 2nd season.

Just found a shiny gastly while I was doing the UB missions. o/

I randomly found a shiny Pikipek and shiny Alolan Raticate while I was trying to fill my Pokédex, lol.

Don't really care for them, but hey, first Gen 7 shinies /o/

There is a community challenge currently going on where we have to catch a ridiculous amount of Pokemons. (100 Million if i remember correctly) If we achieve the goal we get 1000 Festival coins.

Wonder Trade's gonna be complete garbage thanks to that global mission (assuming people are just gonna go to Route 1 and catch their Pokémon there then WT those off) >.>

do some zygarde cells/cores only appear in post game

I just finished Pokemon Moon. Still havent traveled to the rest of Poni Island but the pre elite four part felt rushed. Not much to do there except a semi Victory Road and one trial. Kinda sad there's still only one physical fairy move and the physical Tapus didn't even get them.

Also lol holy shit Tapu Bulu Grassy Terrain + Horn Leech + Leftovers

No, they appear immediately after you get the Zygarde Cube; however, some only appear during either daytime or nighttime.

See for yourself the P.O.W.E.R. that is Choice Specs Tapu Lele + Psychic Terrain + Psychic that 2 shots absolutely everything regardless of 2x resistance.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Celesteela: 68-81 (33.3 - 39.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Slowking: 88-104 (43.5 - 51.4%) -- 7.4% chance to 2HKO
although I doubt anyone would build Celesteela like that lol. still pretty good though. 50% chance to ohko Tapu Bulu even outside Psychic Terrain.

Yeye, you know I don't actually mean absolutely everything when I say absolutely everything. It won't obviously 2 shot fat shit like hippos but switching in a Necrozma or a Skarmory into a Tape Lele thinking they could eat a hit is shockingly wrong as they get 2 shot despite having a resistance and those that don't have a resistance are more than likely to get 1 shot. Point being, once Tape Lele is in the field, something is either dying or going to be receiving a whole lot of damage and if you think it resists, it doesn't. A 43-51% hit to a slowking which has psychic resist is A LOT, that's power, and considering that amount of damage, it two shots everything not as fatty even through resistances, it could even 2 shot slowking too if the spdef drop of psychic actually applies. Tape Lele I'd say is like, the prime counter to all offensive teams. Out of all the Tapu Pokemon, it's Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele that sticks out as being good in any kind of team. The secondary effects of psychic terrain and Misty terrain are just so good. Tapu Bulu and Tapu Koko are more situational.

Also, Choice Specs Tapu Lele + Psychic terrain + Psychic + Z-move + Stealth Rock damage is a near guaranteed ohko against max hp no spdef Celesteela. If there isn't a dark type in the enemy team, why bother predicting what they're going to switch in? Just press Psychic and see the lifebars drop.
