I love it how I make a beeline towards a Pokémon thread.

Soooo Team Rocket in Ultra Sun and Moon? I am not expecting much from the role other than a small cameo. Also worriedly there seems to be confirmation that we won't get new Alola form, kinda disappointing and heavily bias towards the gen 1 Pokémon if that's the case, but strangely I am okay with this?

Darn it Joe, it was supposed to be a Unova subtitle.

Ha ha true, though at the very least we skipped over Kalos. ;p

It looks like the Rocket building on the box is extremely similar to the one you face against Lusamine on Aether Paradise

I'm using this post to teach myself what I can and can't do on this forum from my iPhone. Pictures continues to be a pain in the butt.

My avatar sucks on this site though.

Edit: possible to change the theme? Dark theme?

Is this where the first Gen War begins?

It would be nice if you ran into UBs throughout the story instead of locking them all away in the postgame. Half the fun is using the Pokemon during the playthrough.

Still disappointing there are no Johto Alolans.
Malie is such a tease.

Ha ha damn it, I wasn't trying to start a gen war. >_<;

Honestly though Alolan form was a great way to celebrate the gen 1 games celebrating its 20 anniversary and I hope that the door for regional form isn't firmly closed.

I agree with you, don't worry. I'd imagine in the future, that remakes will serve to expand on the idea with Sinnoh variants, etc, for a broader range of Pokemon from Gen 1 onwards.

Ah, a Pokémon thread. I'm just breathing it all in. It's good to be home.

Looks like the Rainbow Rocket rumors got a lot more weight to them while I was disenfranchised. That opens up some exciting possibilities.

The possibilities have opened widely that's for sure. I'd love to see Cyrus make an appearance of sorts; the last time we saw him, he was trapped in a pocket dimension after all.

Hello, I was a lurker on the old board, but I try to de-lurk myself here often. Also, I'm thankful I was able to sign up as the best Pokemon. I'm not sure if I'm going to bite the bullet day one on US/UM. I'm just going to wait for impressions first.

Still disappointing there are no Johto Alolans.
Malie is such a tease.

Bellossom was robbed.

I'd like to know just how likely the rumor of all the former Execs/Bosses, but from alternate realities where they won out, is.

Are people thinking they're part of Rainbow Rocket?

I thought people liked Rocket because they wanted to profit off Pokémon and not take over the world and stuff.
(In the RPG trappings kind of way)

I just realized I don't know offhand what the release date for US/UM is.

That's what I enjoyed about Rocket. They could still act in that capacity in US/UM. We don't know the extent of their role, unless there are rumours I haven't read that have suggested otherwise?

Poor Unova and Kalos, got snubbed by Alola. Haha... guess people just want to get up to speed so fast, huh?

Anyway, nice to meet you all here. It'll be a while before I get an avatar uploaded (hopefully tonight). The sign-in process isn't exactly Asia-friendly due to time zones...

According to the rumors:
Rainbow Rocket is a conglomerate of every pre-gen 7 evil team from alternate realities where they didn't get thrashed by ten year olds and achieved their respective goals.

Only lurked in the previous community threads but I'm happy to be back. I guess I'll be more active here now, though not until after USUM. I have no idea about any of this stuff being mentioned here and don't want spoilers.

Weird, waited an hour not getting an email through Yahoo, changed email addresses, got confirmation instantly.

I just wonder how that's going to work with Archie and Maxie, who had literally opposing goals, and Cyrus, whose goal of rebooting the universe without spirit doesn't necessarily seem compatible with any other team leader's ambitions. Unless they don't care what happens in other universes I guess.

A true Legion of Doom. Without knowing the context, it'd be hard to guess their motives beyond assuming power across all dimensions/realities. It'd be great to see some in-fighting and scheming amongst Rainbow Rocket members if the rumour proves true, however.

OK OK, it's not that great (this is my current Battle Spot Special ranking), especially since I actually won the first one (and almost won the last one but I messed up hard at the end rofl). That being said, I think this is the first time I've ever used Nidoqueen or Decidueye competitvely. I've been using Nidoqueen as a stall breaker (It has Horn Drill from an RBY transfer, and I love blasting Chansey that think they're safe!), and Decidueye is pretty much just a Grass-type that can blast Celesteela and Cresselia thanks to its Z move. However, its pretty frail (it's currently Jolly because I wanted to outspeed Adamant Dragonite when TR wasn't up), but I might try a bulkier Adamant spread later.
Wow, I thought I was the only one. BSS/p is a lot tougher than people realize, especially if you like having unique teams, there's so much Blaziken and Salamence spam.

There's a set I've been wanting to try, can do similar things to the bulk Decidueye but a little better:
Delphox @ Leftovers
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Mystical Fire
- Will-o-wisp
- Wish
- Protect
Just lay on the debuffs and heal up in the meantime. It's probably not going to win or get you past 1700, but it's hilarious that something can actually do this.

Hmm, definitely interesting if true. Really curious how they'll make that work though. Like, I can perhaps see some of them being on the same page, like say maybe Cyrus and Lysandere (then again, Lysandre might see Cyrus's ambitions as just another form of greed and selfishness, with the whole making himself a god thing, and be rather concerned by that). But how will they make sense of say Lysandre and Giovanni working together? Giovanni seems to be exactly the type of person and problem with the world that Lysandre was trying to "fix" with his plan. Doesn't really make sense for them to be on the same team. Same with Lysandre and Ghetsis. Going to be real interesting to see how they end up handling that if it ends up being true.

I'm into the rumored plot point. It actually sounds more fitting for an anniversary game (last year) than a third version. Even if it's not true, it's cool to see Rocket again.

I wouldn't mind if they just went full fanfic for third versions in the future. It would be a good way of differentiating them at least.
