I feel like the spirit of the rule set is to only allow the Alolan forms of those Pokemon but I haven't seen any rules explicitly state that the original forms are banned so who knows.

I also really want to know the canon names for the trainers... I always play with canon names.

I get what you're saying now. Has it been tested that regular forms won't just switch after evolving in Alola?

sun and moon, i assume lol

Elio and Selene come from a trailer that showed off Battle Royal
Finale Fireworker

It is definitely pointing to that. But I would hate to assume that and then find out it's actually Darien and Mercedes.
Canon name is important to me because my hard-made Pokémon will carry on beyond the version, so I like their OT Trainer to reflect their original, canonical beginnings.
Is this the first time you can catch a non-water type with a fishing rod?

You caught Dratini in R/B/Y with a rod.

I mean, the characters name in the demo was sun, at least for the male. Can't even remember if there was a female option in the demo.

There was not.

Being Sun in the demo a good sign. Sun implies an obvious Moon for the female trainer.
To those citing Elio and Selene in the prerelease footage, I wouldn't bank on those. XY used Xavier and Yvette and Black & White used Blair and Whitney.
For now, I think I have to assume Moon. It would be nice to know before I started, though.

Speaking of names, does anyone know if this game does the whole nickname thing for the player that XY did?
And boy howdy was it annoying

My recommended EV training spots:
-HP: Caterpie in one of the fifty places with Caterpie
-Attack: Spearow on Route 3, Grubbin on Route 1
-Def: Sandygast, Hano Beach
-SpDef: Ledyba on Route 1
-SpA: Psyduck at Brooklet Hills
-Speed: Delibird on Route 3 (Wingull can confuse you, Rombee has Stun Spore)
Defense was the hardest to figure out because fucking everything with Defense has Sturdy I fucking swear

Thank you, saving this for when I beat the game.
Good stuff, thank you

There are a handful of routes where Caterpie can call on a Butterfree for help so I'd actively avoid those. Route 1 is fine, though.
Nothing that a mold beaker can't fix for defense.
Oh god are we gonna have to go back to traditional EV training? I thought the Pokepelago thing was good.

Call for help chaining grants double EVs and Power items have been buffed. With pokerus you can go from 0 to 252 in 7 kills.

Shit Sandygast is a ghost type isn't it so you can't False Swipe it huh
Er... Grab Mold Breaker and go to route 12 with Geodude I guess?

Pokepelago sucks when you can max a stat in like 2 minutes when you get into one of the encounters I listed. lol

Does this gen still let you pick Japanese as a language option when you start it?
Yes and more.

How long does it take to complete two grand trials?
Time of day is set 12 hours apart so in one game the Sun would be out in the other the Moon would be out. Version exclusives...otherwise not really. These aren't really spoilers though.

Don't forget the non-Alolan Ratatta parents giving birth to Alolan Rattata thing as well...which was solved with a simple everstone (though Marowak, Exeggutor and Raichu remain a mystery).
Notice how the last official released trailer showed UB-03 and UB-05? There are two UB-04; Blaster and Blade and like UB-02 they're version exclusives. Post game spoilers
so anything after UB-02 is seen postgame and the international police quest this time is capturing them.
I heard something about some clothes only being available for purchase in one version but there is a way to get random clothes from trainers in festival plaza.
As for the 12 hour difference postgame
at certain times of day you can go into the other versions universe...at least as far as time is concerned encounters remain unchanged
Smeargle with Soak, False Swipe and Aerial Ace? (attacking move can be anything but perfect accuracy should be helpful if there is like sand attack)
Or if going for Geodude just use Pinsir or Axew (& evolutions) as those are the can learn false swipe and have Mold Breaker. Island scan really coming through here in the case of the latter.
That reminds me Mega Pinsir can be used on Sandygast as it is flying type false swipe (IIRC strongest false swipe in the game as well)

This is amazing. This is something I need to exploit for trades. Maybe I'll be able to get a Jangmo-o or Mimikyu by the end of the first or the begining of the Second island threw trade.
Oh. Well ok then lol. As long as it's really fast and it doesn't involve some stupid minigame, I'm good. What about hyper training? I don't see many talking about it.

How is pokepelago's level up training feature? It's ev training is probably worse than just using encounter chains, but I could see it being good for mass leveling pokemon you might consider using later

I think it's impossible to transfer Mega Stones and you buy them with BP I believe. So all.
All of them as items can not be transferred from gen 6.
How did you get the game early?
Get a shiny one and it'll looks like a super saiyan using a spirit bomb.

I mean by this point there are multiple ways. Stores breaking street date, a online shop shipped it's copies early, there's even a ROM already. Honestly, how are you surprised by this when this thread is at almost 100 pages?

dunno if this was said already, but Sucker Punch is nerfed to 70 BP

I'm not totally sure on what this means, but apparently the downloaded copies of the game are incomplete and are coded to not trigger an update the actual carts are set to have on, presumably, release date.

Hmm that would be weird right?
Huh? Wonder what this is about.

Does this mean the data might change in the retail version?

I think they meant illegally downloaded ROMs, rather than the digital version.

That's what I mean. Is it possible the data obtained from the illegally download copies might differ from the retail version?
