Benji Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Can I just say how much I love that the fandom has just decided that SuMo is the acceptable shortening and not SM. I like that it's just accepted for obvious reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Pokémon GO has entered beta testing and here's a features list: Quote Features Pokémon GO will feature more than 100 catachable Pokémon. When a player approaches a Pokémon in the wild, their phone will notify them and give them the opportunity to engage and catch the Pokémon using the phone's touch screen to throw a Poké Ball. Some wild Pokémon will appear only in certain places; for example, some Water-type Pokémon may appear only near lakes and oceans. If the player catches the same species of Pokémon enough times, they will acquire enough Evolution Shards to evolve a Pokémon of that same species. In Pokémon GO, the player will gain levels as a Trainer. At higher levels, the player can catch more powerful Pokémon and access more powerful items (such as Great Balls). Poké Balls and other special items can be found at PokéStops, which are located at interesting places such as public art installations, historical markers, and monuments. Additionally, players may find Pokémon Eggs at PokéStops. Eggs hatch after players walk a preset distance, and may hatch into Pokémon the player has never seen before. Incubators can be used to help with the hatching process. Gyms During gameplay, Pokémon GO players will be encouraged to join one of three teams and engage in Gym battles with other teams. After joining a team, players will gain the ability to assign their Pokémon to Gyms. Like PokéStops, Gyms can be found at locations in the real world. Empty Gyms are claimed by a team when a Trainer places a Pokémon there to claim it. Players can place their Pokémon in friendly Gyms, but each player can place only one Pokémon at a particular Gym. When a team has control of a Gym, team members can increase its Prestige and level by training their Pokémon with other defending Pokémon. As the Gym gets to a higher level, the defending team gains the ability to assign more Pokémon to defend it. Rival Gyms can be battled using the Pokémon the the player has caught. Groups of players can work together to challenge rival Gyms. By using their own Pokémon's two attacks and dodging incoming attacks by swiping left and right on the screen, Pokémon GO players can defeat the defending Pokémon to reduce the Gym's Prestige. Once the Gym's Prestige reaches zero, the defending team loses control of the Gym, and the victor's Pokémon can be assigned to defend the Gym. There a variety of challenges available that highlight many different categories, such as catching Pokémon and exploration. By completing these challenges, players unlock achievement medals that appear on their profile. User interface The player's avatar's appearance can be customized by choosing from a variety of different clothes and accessories. The customized Trainer image will appear on the map as the player moves around, on their profile page, as well as in Gyms under their control. A portable device called the Pokémon GO Plus will enable Pokémon GO players to participate in the game even without looking at a smartphone. The device connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and notifies the player about events in the game—such as the appearance of a Pokémon nearby—using an LED and vibration. In addition, players can catch Pokémon or perform other simple actions by pressing the button on the device. Pokémon GO will be free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases that are supposedly optional. Players can spend real money on PokéCoins, the in-game currency of Pokémon GO, which can be exchanged on the App Store and Google Play for power-ups and extra items. I'm not sure I'll be much use at this as I barely go anywhere outside of home and work, but it will be interesting to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuya Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Rotom in the Pokedex is ADORABLE. The slightly cultural appropriation characters are not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Someone on Reddit is theorising that the Rotomdex might indicate a removal of HM slaves, and that instead Rotom will transform/take over the items you need to traverse blocked areas. Could be a pretty cool thing if they did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnar hendershow Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I would definitely enjoy not having to carry a dual-type around that can get 4 HMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It's taken me 20 years and his death, but I just realised that Butterfree and Beedrill are references to Muhammad Ali's famous catchphrase >_> 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenged Probably Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Have they always been a reference? I know there's that bit in X/Y where someone says "float like a Butterfree, sting like a Beedrill" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Are you sure they aren't just named that way because it's a butterfly and a bee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It's probably more coincidence. If it was Butterfloat and Beesting, then well... The origins of Pokemon are rooted in a love of bug catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I mean, the logic would have been butterfly and moth from a pair of caterpillars. It could just be a weird coincidence, but that they are one anothers opposite numbers makes me think it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes, but the big difference is that TNA hasn't built up that kind of goodwill, so when they--wait, what were we talking about? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
