Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon

updates exist

Tell that to the people who defended XYORAS's shallow postgames only to realize the harsh truth. "They'll update XY with an actual post-game!" or "They'll add the battle frontier as DLC!"

Those dataminers who dug through the game have zero faith that they'll update it to include the national dex now that its a bank thing. They will update the game to include balance updates of course, but not to include features. From what it seems the base game already works with the updated bank which is why the bank update being held back is artificial padding and nothing more.

I'd love to be proven wrong but right now any expectation/hope for such an update is in the negatives right now. Especially since they didn't bother hiding Marshadow (something that could be done by not making him visible until an update)

Granted, people already saw leaked shiny Marshadow sprites in the datamined demo, so why bother hiding that 'mon anymore?

The build of the game was inevitably finished in October or so since they would need to prepare the physical copies.

And you know as well as I do that when they officially confirm Marshadow they'll be like "OoooooOOOOOOooooOOOO Spooky brand new pokemon"

Does anyone have a Vanillite?

[mikey]

I was going to go catch a vanillish and finish that up

I'm surprised at how easy it is to fill up this pokedex, I'm at like 260 and I have access to the rest of the pokedex, outside of oranguru, which I'll just find on the GTS.  Compared to the Sinnoh region, where I'm still at 400 after a decade.

[Nebbles]

90 percent, oh god, I'm so close...

[SlowPokemon]

Smh using the GTS doesn't even count as a full Pokédex imo you just let others do the work for you

[Dudeman]

Unless of course it's a Pokémon that you can't get naturally in your own game, like Passimian/Oranguru or the version-exclusive legendaries. I believe in trading the equivalent in those cases.

Absolutely, those are exceptions. Also obviously Pokémon that only evolve by trading.

Hey, I just searched the GTS for Popplio and LITERALLY THE FIRST TWO AND A HALF PAGES WERE ALL REQUESTS FOR LEGENDARIES

[Nebbles]

Good ol GTS, or what I like to call it, the Global Trade Shitshow.

yeah that ticks me off.  I was searching for rowlet and I was lucky to find one that was requesting kartanas.  Literally all it is is children who think level 100 legendaries are cool.  If you keep looking you'll find more reasonable offers.  And this is pretty much just for the starters, other pokemon like machoke and stuff are very reasonable

[BlackDragonSlayer]

The best only luck I've had on the GTS is in Gen 4, where someone was trading an Empoleon for an Abomasnow. So I went to Mt. Coronet, caught one, used a few Rare Candies on it (I don't remember what level the request was, but it might have been 40-50 or something), and got an Empoleon!!!!

[mikey]

the fishing mechanics in this game are the worst.  It's starting to really tick me off that all I'm catching are magikarps and wailmers.
PLS BRING BACK THE SUPER ROD UGH
