Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Radical Bones]

I'm so hyped about the customisation features.

Also I'm actually glad the wolves are both pure Rock. I didn't like the idea of a Dark/Rock werewolf.

And I dont think the Orangutan is a gimmick. Maybe just a great Doubles partner. Imagine using 2 Earthquakes in one turn while your partner is immune to it.

On another note... perhaps HM's are coming back? Surf was used in the trailer.

Oh God, please no! Not anymore!

 

[Aetheri]

Possible they could get relegated to TM's...Surf, Waterfall, Strength and Fly for example are actually really decent attacking moves...

Maybe it's just a normal move now.

I mean HMs that were ditched in some games were still moves like Flash.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm probably not gonna customize my character... It never interested me, not even in X and Y.

 

[---]

Trainer Customization looks better than ever, especially if you want to play as the Male Trainer. I love that you can take off the trainer hat too.

Pure Rock is kind of boring. Am preferring Sun version at the moment though.

It makes sense forto have it's own Z-Move, but having a lack of access to a Light Ball and stealing the Z-Crystal team spot already undermines the obvious goal to make it decent competitively. LMAO Raichu

Eevee's Z-Move definitely reminds me of 's Final Smash. It's kind of underwhelming, but to Game Freak's credit Eevee does learn Baton Pass as a potential niche.

That potential U-Beast Battle Theme is awesome.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I love Moons pokemon. words can not describe how much I love them. I want Moon, I need moon

 

[Chrono.]

Oh yeah

I guess Baton Pass Eevee will be the new meta.

 

[Radical Bones]

Oh yeah

I guess Baton Pass Eevee will be the new meta.

If Z-Moves are even legal. At the moment I kinda hope they're not. Theyre all looking like OHKO moves at the price of an item slot.

 

[AreJay25]

Also.

Can we talk about how Pikachu's Z-Move involves tossing it 30 feet into the air.

 

[Aetheri]

I love Passimian's animations actually...like how it tosses the ball onto it's tail as it attacks and trips on the ball when it faints...Actually pretty neat it takes it's ally's ability when they faint...could make for some interesting set-ups in double battles, but seems a bit too situational depending on the ability...

Appears to be based on the Colobus Monkey...which is cool...

Spoiler

Oranguru looks neat as well...don't like it as much as our Rugby Monkey but still pretty cool...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

To be fair the item slot itself is pretty OP. Look how broken M-Rayquaza is by giving up a move slot instead of an item.

except we have seen a z move hit and not kill

 

[Chrono.]

You can only do it them once per battle and they replace one of your moves, some which have to be a specific move like Snorlax's.

I doubt they'll get banned.

I forgot this gif existed, I need it as my signature

 

[Aetheri]

It's likely Z-Moves will be one time use like Megas...which makes them more of a trump card than anything and since every pokemon has access to Z-moves (even if they are not exclusive to the pokemon) so I'm thinking it's likely they will be legal...

I'm actually curious if moves like Protect will out-prioritise Z-moves...or if Z-Moves hit without fail...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Seems that Clothes have a separate currency from the regular currency. I hope they're not as hard to get as the old game centre coins where otherwise I may as well walk out in a barrel.

 

[Mythra]

*grabs Pikachu*
"Destroy my enemies fam"
*Throws mouse*
*Pick a Shoe transforms into Electric Sanic and smashes the opponent*

This game is pure hype.

Wasn't it called a festival coin or something? I'm thinking it'll be this games version of contests. And an incentive to play that part of the game.

 

[Chrono.]

So turns out you can change the color of your clothes.

That's great news.

 

[Chandeelure]

Pikachu's new Final Smash confirmed.

 

[Aetheri]

Looked up Eevee's base stats...It's actually pretty decent after getting the boost...

HP: 55
Attack: 55 (x2)-110
Defense: 50 (x2)-100
Sp. Atk: 45 (x2)-90
Sp. Def: 65 (x2)-130
Speed: 55 (x2)-110
Total 595 after the boost...it's almost a Psuedo now...

I can actually see a Last Resort set for Eevee being used, as that will hit hard...(even harder with an Adaptability boost, which would make it a 280 base power attack)
Stored Power looks like it'll be useful as well as it increases in Power after positive stat changes, it'll have a 220 base power after the changes it seems...

With the right set-ups Eevee can be a great late game sweeper...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So, we've got our "Rugby Monkey" all the rumors have been talking about

 

[Curious Villager]

Pikachu's new Final Smash confirmed.

Isn't that kind of like what his current one already does? Minus the dancing part but I suppose they can probably turn his blue ball of electricity yellow and have him charge towards one opponent, maybe....

 

[Deleted member]

*FINALLY gets to the seafloor cavern*
*Finds out Rock Smash and Strength are required for navigation*

 

[Chrono.]

Meanwhile the official website is trying to play Midnight forme's Counter off as a super cool move.

Someone needs to tell the guy who writes those descriptions to lay off the Smash Bros.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

quick, what was Tarzans mothers name? Imma name the moon monkey after her

 

[Champ Gold]

I'm naming the Sun monkey either Rafiki or

 

[Chrono.]

If it weren't Gamefaqs I'd almost feel bad for this guy.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ok so I got three names, Terk, Kala and Forever from jojo. Imma have fun with moon if I name it Forever

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

quick, what was Tarzans mothers name? Imma name the moon monkey after her

Kala?

EDIT: 'd.

 

[Coricus]

. . .

Well I was worried that the rugby monkey would look a lot worse than it actually does. I think this looks the best out of any monkey we've had in Pokemon so far. Granted I'm not the monkey type in the first place, but. . .yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised.

*checks Pokemon website*

. . .The grooming feature allows you to heal status effects outside of battle without using items? That's interesting.

 

[Ivander]

Really loving the customization in the game. Really loving the variety.

That orangutan has big potential with Instruct. Not just the double Earthquake/Surf/etc, but imagine double Sword Dance, double Quiver Dance, etc. Also, I saw someone post something rather interesting. What if it's possible to "Instruct" Z-moves and use them twice? Could you imagine +4 All Stats Eevee and than Baton Passing that, especially to a Mega Evolved Pokemon?

 

[Aetheri]

Passimian-King Julian

Oranguru-King Louie

Get it right folks...
(yes I know Julien is a Lemur and not a monkey, it still fits)

 

[Chrono.]

I'm seeing people argue that Passimissan IS a lemur.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Kala?

EDIT: 'd.

I may end up naming it Forever after Jojo. Because Forever was the best

 

[Champ Gold]

Wait a minute

>you can change eye color
Oh my, this is a game changer.

Although lipstick on 12 year olds seems really awkward and bad unless they're older ala the Gen 5 trainers

You could change eye color with contacts in X & Y.

You can im x and y as well...

I'm seeing people argue that Passimissan IS a lemur.

As I mentioned before Im pretty sure its based off a Colobus Monkey...but it does look like a lemur...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

X and Y had that
