    I'm using Mew in the Cuteness contest right now. Crushing it, naturally.

    Thread title should say something about being sure to get your mew this month (for the us and canada at least)

    I should go get mine later today probably, gotta finish my stupid work first

    I tried, but apparently 10 AM on a Sunday is just too early for GameStop.

    10 AM on a Sunday is too early for anything, what are you even doing

    Get back to bed

    Get back to bed

    I literally can't! The Man has ground me down and now if I'm not up by 7:30 at the latest my entire day is ruined. I forced myself to stay in bed until about 9 AM one day last weekend and felt like absolute garbage all day.

    I've never played an AR game before and so that all sounds like weird future shit to me that I probably won't be able to take part in

    Like, I'll have to be outside pointing my phone at stuff to see the Pokemon on-screen? If I'm getting the gist of it right? And then battle them using on-screen commands to catch them?

    What do you do when you catch them? Just battle them against other trainers? If so, would they have to be local, would they have to be next to you in person also with their phone out?

    That game still doesn't sound real to me

    I don't think they'll actually do much with the AR, or at least it will be largely optional

    it will be like ingress but instead of points you got pkmn

    we don't really know what that game will be!

    Niantic's other game, Ingress, uses map data to basically create a big giant game of Graffiti from Tony Hawk

    you connect lines between landmarks you're passing by in the real world and use them to create zones that generate points for your faction

    you can attack, upgrade and defend those points of interest but there's not a lot of systems beyond that

    so we'll see what they take from Ingress and apply to the pokemon formula

    Slowly working my way through X again. Which game has the better post-game content? X or OR? Just wondering so I know where to move all my pokes and begin work on a living Dex

    It's been a while since i beat AS but I don't really remember it having much post game stuff, I mean it could have but I don't remember it so I guess it didn't really grab me

    I remember the post game stuff in Y really well on the other hand so I'd say do X over OR

    Pokemon X has the Battle Chateau, Being A Detective, and all the clothing stuff. The advantage to OR is that you have access to all the Mega-Stones in one game.

    What's all this about a new Pokémon being revealed?

    Apparently it's linked to Volcanion in an upcoming movie, so I'm guessing it's going to be connected to Pokemon Z2 or whatever the third game of this Gen is called and will be made available in the previous games via update.

    Didn't they never update X and Y with ORAS's new mega evolutions? I feel like a brand new pokemon has got to be part of gen 7.

    Oh shit I just remembered that OR/AS has all the move tutors as well. Basically X/Y has a better postgame if you want to get cash money (chateau) and bulk spend it on Evolutionary stones, nice clothes, and Premier Balls (The superior Pokeball) , but OR/AS has the daycare, move tutors, and battle maison all on the same island, and you can go in circles forever just by holding 'up'. ORAS is also better for EV training because you can use Sweet Scent in the rain. But X/Y has the Friend Safari, and ORAS has a billion fucking legendaries. Maybe catch everything you can in X and then jam them into OR for training and breeding?

    Well

    What's awesome about Pokemon is that you can play it your way

    Just roll with it, have fun, catch what you like, play casual

    Or

    Be a crazy obsessive and catch all the Pokeymans

    Or

    Be an even crazier obsessive and get into the whole "I only want Pokemon with the best hidden stats"

    Nah, there's still at least one Pokemon in the code of the existing games that hasn't been released (incidentally the one that is associated with this one). I could see them leaving this one out either because they hadn't decided if they were going to use it yet, or intentionally to prevent it from getting leaked by dataminers.

    I enjoy breeding Pokemon. Although I don't try to assemble teams that are specifically competitive in the multiplayer, if I'm gonna have a team of turtles I want them to be the best damn turtles they can be. Also, having good stats makes fighting in the Battle Noun a lot less frustrating.

    So hey, the JRPG Thread reminded me,

    Who would want to do a Mystery Egg Swap?

    The idea is you play the game through until you can trade, then you get an egg traded. This becomes your new starter. You box your initial starter for the rest of the game.

    You won't know what you'll get!

    Last time we did this, people gave out some rather neat pokemon based on their own theme or what they thought the other person would like and it was a lot of fun.

    I'd be into it, but I've already committed to at least one Pokemon run that I'm not sure when I'll have time for. I can totally provide someone an egg though.

    Likewise! I'd be happy to try that for Pokemon Z (if there is a Z, with the same starter options as X or Y) though!

    I definitely want to do this for Z.

    Hmm, I wonder. Either Game Freak went "Look, this time we want to surprise you with a Mythical" or it's a teaser for Gen 7.

    I don't begrudge the ocean for existing. I begrudge the game designers for forcing me to spend a bunch of time in it.
