Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[FalKoopa]

Did any plot details get leaked?

Hopefully not. Don't care much for movepools and stats.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Summary

Spoiler

Decidudeye is actually the fastest of the starters, with 70 as base speed, Incineroar and Primarina have a base speed of 60.

Spoiler

This is great. I bet people who were ready to abandon #TeamRowlet might have second thoughs now.

WHY AM I LOOKING AT PLOT SPOILERS
I AM WEAK

 

[RamOne]

It's election day and Decidueye is actually the fastest starter. I just woke up but the day went off with a good start already.

 

[Knight Dude]

Wait a second. EDIT: That's better. Don't know why I forgot you can't make the word spoiler plural.

Spoiler

I'm liking a lot of the moves that Incineroar can learn. Darkest Lariat is even 85 power, a bit more than I expected. Makes up for Crunch being an Egg move. I'll probably give him Low Sweep or something. I know he's the bulky fire starter, but speed control over the opponent is still pretty important. Gonna have Flamethrower as always. I still need to think what I want for his Physical Fire STAB though. [\SPOILER]

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I saw some if the balance changes
NOT HAPPY

Spoiler

First of all, Dark Void being lowered to 50%. It's an extremely powerful status move, sure, but the only pokemon that can learn it is very frail. A signature move shouldn't have THAT much chance to miss if the user is frail.
And what did they do to Gengar? Cursed Body and Infiltrator replacing Levitate? What were they thinking? Cursed Body only works for bulky mons, and although Infiltrator is by no means bad, ESPECIALLY if that Aurora Veil thing becomes common, it doesn't make up for gaining an extra weakness, especially to Earthquake

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Spoiler

I want to get tagged the instant anyone can confirm that Levitate is gone and what new ability has replaced it.

 

[Deleted member]

I think I'll cancel my Pre-order and pre-load the game instead
I can't avoid spoilers for 4 weeks

 

[n8han11]

And in other news, I got banned from a Wiki because I kept deleting a piece of trivia which required a source it did not have. I got banned for asking for a source regarding an unsubstantiated fact. Wikis, man. I have no idea why I'm telling you all this, but here.

See my previous post. Two people confirmed it in a pastbin and with the game itself

What Wiki did you get banned from?

 

[RamOne]

Spoiler: HUGE story spoilers

Spoiler: You've been warned

Kukui is the champion.
UB-01 is Rock/Poison. Actually checks out with Grass being normal and Flying being NFE.

Spoiler: Names

Anchor is Dhelmise (Ghost/Grass), Dewpider's evo is Araquanid.

 

[Deleted member]

Well, I'll be gone until the 18th of November. Buh-bye!

 

[n8han11]

What Wiki did you get banned from?

The LEGO Dimensions wiki. There's a story behind that, but I'll only tell if you wish to hear. And you will most likely end up confused unless you're knowledgeable in Dimensions.

 

[ChikoLad]

I just found out Dissidia is getting a mobile spin-off that has Vivi and Steiner from FFIX, and Hope and Sazh from FFXIII, and I kinda need that in my life.

only reason im intrested in this is that it could be an indicator of whos joining the arcade game

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Well, after doing paperwork this morning I discovered no theft took place, just a case of someone entering stuff wrong into the register. So that's awesome.

Also awesome that Pokémon Sun and Moon is leaking I guess. Not really looking at plot spoilers however.

That Dissida game looks nice though. I'm all about that.

 

[Aetheri]

*Slowly floats my cursor towards Spoiler tag....sees HUGE PLOT SPOILERS in Spoiler tag*

Honestly I'm not worried about stats and balance changes for pokemon and such (I actually kinda want to see those tbh) but plot spoilers are something I really really don't want to see for this game yet...

 

[Deleted member]

Spoiler

Apricorn balls are back.

I know this is late but

Spoiler

**** YES MY APRICORNS ARE BACK
Or just the Pokeballs but still
Do we get Alola!Kurt?

It begins, again.

Summary

Spoiler

Dark Void severly nerfed, only 50% accuracy now. https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/795899618148032512
Leech Life buffed to 80 attack points.
Decidudeye is actually the fastest of the starters, with 70 as base speed, Incineroar and Primarina have a base speed of 60.

Spoiler

Primarina's Sp.Atk is 1 point higher than Hydreihon's... just let that sink in for a moment
Its Def is somewhat disappointing but it makes up for it with that Sp.Def
Sparkling Aria is 90 BP, unless it's AOE, there's not much reason to use it over Surf
HA is nice, though, again, there isn't much reason to use a Water!Hyper Voice
>Shadow Ball
>Energy Ball
>Psychic
>Moonblast
>Sparkling Aria
Hope you have your Light Screens ready
Also, what is the "learned at Lv.0" mean? Does it try to learn the move automatically no matter the level it evolves or?

Decidueye's Long Reach can be useful since it learns Leaf Blade, Sucker Punch and Brave Bird to get past Rocky Helmet+Rough Skin combos but not much besides that

Incineroar gets Intimidate, simple but practical

Rip X-Scissor

Also, important to note is that the base starters can learn the Elemental Beams now

 

[Champ Gold]

Spoiler: Incineroar's moveset

 

[RamOne]

There we are, the rom is out for the Homebrew users. Expect literally everything to be leaked in the upcoming hours/days.

 

[Aurane]

People are defending Incineroar's stats as good, regardless of speed

Calling it basically a slightly weaker Tyranitar with better ability and typing

I dunno enough about it to verify if they are in denial or if Incineroar is still good

Spoiler

Incineroar is more or less Houndoom x Landorus T. Its stats are similar and has Intimidate. Honestly, its looking like its going to kick ass in UU.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

See my previous post. Two people confirmed it in a pastbin and with the game itself

Spoiler

Cursed Body... really? I mean Infiltrator isn't great either, but Cursed Body is awful on a Pokémon like Gengar. Froslass is a great example of how bad it is on a frail Pokémon.
Infiltrator is good at what it was made for but sadly is situational. Could've been a decent HA I suppose.
... Now that I think about it Intimidate would've been a decent replacement for Levitate. It doesn't quite make up for it, but it does help make physical attackers in general less of a threat.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Incinroar's HA is probably my favorite ability in the series and it has a great movepool for the way I play (badly).

nice.
been strong enough not to open story spoilers. must stay that way

 

[Deleted member]

Spoiler: Incineroar's moveset

Spoiler

Yeah, Flare Blitz/Darkest Lariat/Earthquake/Leech Life is making it look pretty intimidating(pun intended)

Move changes I noticed:
-Snarl now has 95 accuracy(from 100%)
-Swagger now has 85 accuracy(from 90%)

New moves:
-Throat Chop(guess it's his secondary signature move like Greninja's Mat Block, can be a good counter for Primarina.)
-Brutal Swing(one of the 4 new TMs, kinda weak but I guess it's the first Dark AOE move(besides Night Daze but that's a signature move)

 

[Erureido]

Some more story-related stuff regarding S/M

Spoiler: S/M Story Spoilers

You've been warned

Spoiler: Story-related info

Cosmog is confirmed to be an Ultra Beast that is capable of opening the Ultra Wormhole. Team Skull is working with the Aether Foundation because Lusamine wants to open the Ultra Wormhole and release the Ultra Beasts because she loves them. However, if Cosmog open the Ultra Wormhole, it'll die. That's why Lillie steals Cosmog at the beginning of the game: because she wants to protect it.

You stop Lusamine in time in order to prevent Cosmog's death (I'm assuming this is where you have your first battle with her), and Cosmog evolves and stops moving (definitely that small orb-like Pokemon from the leaks), and Lusamine & Guzma manage to escape through the Ultra Wormhole before it closes. You and Lillie then travel to the fourth island and obtain Sun/Moon flutes, then play them at the altar in order to "awaken" Cosmog, who then transforms into Solgaleo/Lunala and takes you to the Ultra Wormhole to reach the Ultra Space, where you will confront Beast Lusamine.

Beast Lusamine's team is Clefable, Mismagius, Bewear, Lilligant, and Milotic (this one is no surprise). Like Mandala already mentioned, all her Pokemon receive the power-ups equivalent to a Totem Pokemon.

Leaker notes the Lusamine battle music is 10/10, and after beating her, she and UB-01 unmerge and you all leave the Ultra Wormhole.

Also, Gladion is confirmed to be Lillie's brother. Looks like the theories were true!

The Elite Four in this game consists of Hala, Olivia, Nanu, and Kahili (the latter two are the yet-to-be-revealed kahunas).

Also, pouting Lillie is the most adorable sight ever!

Also, another shot of Lusamine looking evil.

Spoiler: Big confirmation from an earlier post

Colress is indeed in Sun and Moon!

I'm surprised he doesn't feel overheated with such clothing.

 

[Aurane]

*FANGIRLISH SCREECH*

Spoiler: Story Spoilers Bruh

COLRESS! COLREEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!

I'm so ****ing pumped to see him again. If you can fight him HE BETTER HAVE THST SWEET ASS TUNE oh god oh god... *breathes*

 

[Burruni]

....
Mimikyu's stats
And the TCG Anenome's typing.
The two things I want

Anemone's typings were found

Spoiler

water poison

also Incineroar's got a good movepull but not 2 of the best Dark Type moves it GREATLY benefits from jfc

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This just in

All the starters finals are slow

Now everone can yell

 

[Soul.]

Oh **** Incineroar's bulk is actually pretty solid

95 HP / 90 Def / 90 SpD with Intimidate with decent resistances and great typing offensively means it will be able to switch in more than once (I guess, more than Houndoom ever will). Also it gets access to Fake Out which is great for Doubles.

Sucks about no Sucker Punch/Knock Off tho. Also Tapu Koko has base 130 Speed

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Spoiler: Leaked Poké's type and name

Crabrawler's evo is Fighting/Ice and called Crabominable

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Also Tapu Koko has base 130 Speed

Topu Keko
Seems Decidueye is the least viable starter, and Primarina looks to be Slyveon but better

Cursed Body and Infiltrator are Gengar's new abilities? Meh...

Wasn't planning to use Gengar on my Moon team anyway, but it's still a shame...

Hairstyles and clothing options.
