I'm relatively new in this community, and I feel like following along with the championships can be a bit hard for outsiders. Sure, there's a stream, but I have no idea what to look out for, when the finals are and what's at stake for certain people. Having people write about what's going on...

Een fiasco ben ik niet bang voor - het is eerder dat de moeite die ik in een team steek wel eens voor niks kan zijn ivm wijzigingen. Zelf dol op gen 1, vooral omdat ik daarmee ben begonnen! En jij?

Nintendo already confirmed Sun and Moon will support Pokémon Bank, when they said you can use it to transfer Pokémon from the eShop RBY games to the new games. So it seems pretty likely other Pokémon can be transferred as well. Here's the link to that confirmation...

Yeah... Have to say I've started breeding by now (it's a lot less hardcore than I feared!) but I'm not sure what will survive into the next generation. Then again: having some perfect IV/EV-trained Pokémon in storage is probably going to be helpful at times.

Just an inch below Venusaur, Mega Slowbro, Mewtwo and Exeggutor. Though I doubt I can compete with the Alolan form of that last one.

I'm kind of curious: of all the people not liking the idea of Kanto making a return, what generation did you start on? Does Kanto make you feel nostalgic, or did you visit the first games much later? I started on Blue myself, and I feel like my sentiment makes it way too hard to be critical...

I've been hearing a lot of people say the anime's been great lately. I personally lost interest around Johto, because it turned too formulaic for my tastes. The gifs I saw going around seem really cool, though. I'll be sure to message you if I have any questions, thanks!

Oh no, I mean: in RBY, you met a ghost in Pokémon Tower that turned out to be a deceased Marowak's ghost. Having an actual Ghost Marowak seems like a nice reference to that. Guess you could say the same about the new Raichu. Really makes me think back to the surfing Pikachu from Yellow and the...

If this keeps up, my entire team will consist of old pokémon in their Alolan forms. This Raichu seems sweet.

If we are getting Kanto (or another region), I really hope they won't say a word about it. Going there after finishing Johto in Gold is still one of my most vivid video game memories, mostly because I had no idea this was even an option. Then again: it also led to me being disappointed at the...

Having the Alolan type be ghost does feel like a nice callback. Great way to make everyone remember the Pokémon Tower in Lavender.

I'm Urya, a 27 year old freelance journalist and editor from The Netherlands. I've been a big Pokémon fan ever since the first generation. It's what got me to buy a Game Boy as a kid - and what made me buy all of the future handhelds after that. I've mostly been a casual player. I bought the...

I'm a bit scared people will find it through my profile if I do introduce myself though. My account's from 2008 - so introducing myself after all those years might raise questions. I'd totally look into my old posts myself, haha.

Oh don't worry, I'm not that much of a pro. I've read up on all the stuff like IVs, EVs and the like, but I've hardly hat time to put my knowledge to use and fully work out a team worthy of Wi-Fi. Not only that, but I also lack the experience to know what to expect in competitive play.

I've both been EV training as breeding in order to get a good nature, ability and IVs. Though I only limit myself to the little text saying what the highest IV is when it comes to that .
