So I'm just playing through Pokemon Sun now (I got Moon at launch but only just got the second game) and have reached Exeggutor Island. The Chief of the sea folk states that it "used to be a trial site," so perhaps in the alternate story line of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, we will see a trial...

I'd love to see a re-imagining or sequel to the original games. 20 years has passed, new Pokemon have been discovered and so on, so these are just my thoughts on what the games could include: A new playable character, possibly starting in a new town (much like B2W2) The original 3 starters with...

I once caught all 3 legendary birds in one play through in a sum total of 4 Ultra Balls. It was amazing, no time spent resetting or painfully waiting for them to stay in the ball!

I'd like a re-imagining of the first games. By that I mean the same region with the same sort of Pokemon, but updated for today. I don't know if what I want is a game set 20 years after RBY, with map and Pokedex updates to reflect that, or if I'd rather have a game that basically pretends RBY...

I'm curious to see what other people think on this topic. How many Pokemon should the ideal Pokedex contain, and how many of these should be from each generation and how many new? Did Gen V introduce too many, with its brand new dex? I don't mind it too much, because I limit myself to using new...

I've been wanting to do something like this for ages! Although all of my games are at a point at which I don't really want to reset any of them (apart from maybe FR) so I'll have to put it off for now :(

This is a question that has been bugging me for a while - I'd have never worked out that to get a Malamar I'd have to evolve Inkay while holding the DS upside down. I'm just curious as to how this was worked out; did someone accidentally stumble upon it, was information released giving us clues...

Well, thanks for the explanation. I suppose they do kind of make sense but they still overall feel a bit arbitrary and contrived, as if the designers almost tried to create Pokemon to fit what they wanted, rather than come up with the design and then base the story around that. It also ties in...

I kind of think that, yeah... I mean, by any measure I can think of, the UBs are barely Pokemon, yet are treated exactly like they are. My point about giving them the same weight as a Caterpie explains it to me at least, but I'm not very good at conveying my feelings about this!

Well, a whole bunch of people gave some pretty good responses! There are far too many points for me to go through them all in the depth I'd like to, but I'll give it a go. About the typing - I can see why people would be against the idea of introducing a new type purely for the UBs. On the...

I think it's just finally clicked in my head why I absolutely despise the Ultra Beasts - there's a whole host of reasons, some of which apply to other Pokemon too, but in general I think the UBs go down as one of the worst ideas in Gen 7 - at least in their current form. Firstly, they don't...

This is exactly what I want! I'm sure I must be due a well timed shiny soon enough, but I'm always paranoid that I'm going to encounter one before I get pokeballs, or have another experience with Wally...

Has anyone ever caught and used a shiny during one of their story line playthroughs? I've caught a couple of shinies in my time but only ever in the post game, and was wondering if anyone had been lucky enough to use one through the game - my biggest wish in Pokemon! Interesting side note, the...

Dhelmise, according to the pokedex in Sun can KO a Wailord by swinging its anchor, and in Moon the seaweed became reborn as a pokemon. It maintains itself by adding seaweed and debris, which to me implies that it is both the seaweed and the ship parts... On a related note, I would like to see a...

I can offer you a hidden ability Love Ball Mareanie? Not sure on IV's, I'll check now and see if I can breed a good one.
