Thank you so much!!! This boy... My nephew is on a quest to create a Pokemon with the most amount of ribbons he can possibly get on it. With no hacking. He's thinking of using a Gardevoir, evolved from a purified Shadow Ralts from XD. He needs to get lots of high quality berries so he can make the best PokeBlocks so he can win every category of contest... Though he plans on cloning the berries with the cloning glitch in Emerald, getting some of the berries are daily events. He also needs a lot of Battle Points so he can teach this Gardevoir Move Tutor moves to use in the contests and... Ugh, the Gen III Battle Frontier is STINGY with the BP. He's been trying to look for a way to possibly replace the battery but couldn't find any services... He's thinking of possibly learning to do it himself but. He's scared to. Haha.
But anyway, yeah. Thanks! This might just come in handy.
My cartridges just got here, they both save again. Super happy now.

My nephew is now playing the beginning of XD Gale of Darkness over and over and over again until it spawns him a Shadow Ralts with a Timid nature and the ability Trace. Sonny pls
It's cool that you can battle and trade wirelessly like in the previous VC titles, but this presents a problem even when you own multiple systems, making it impossible to trade/transfer between the VC Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver. Also, no Crystal?

It's odd they left out Crystal. I guess I'll go with Silver since that's the version I picked as a kid. I still have it. Sadly the battery went dead.
Right now I'm kind of meh about the other news. I own Pokken for the Wii U. It's fun and I will pick up a Switch copy. I got Pokken last black Friday for 35 dollars so at least I didn't pay full price. I'm happy we're getting the latest fighters from the arcade version. I hope they update it if they continue to add to the arcade version.
Ultra Sun and Moon. Eh? It's like BW2, but it sounds like a third version spilt into two? It's very odd.
As a whole I'm indifferent about everything. I want a mainline game on Switch. I hope the next set will be for Switch. It's time to move on Gamefreak. The 3DS line is coming to an end. I just want to play Pokemon on my TV. I wasn't expecting a mainline Switch game this year. I just wanted to hear about one.
Poor Wii U. I swear if we get Smash Bros DX for the Switch, it'll just be a giant middle finger to anyone who bought a Wii U. XD
Gold is definitely the one I'd go with, I've only played a Rom of Crystal a while back and I was okay with it, but I definitely prefer Gold. And I just recently had the battery in my Gold cartridge replaced too.
From what's being said it's an "Alternate story" so I'm guess it's more of a typical third version than a direct sequel. Meanwhile people are raging at the lack of Sinnoh remakes. Probably would have been a better move than repackaging the game that hasn't even been out for a year with new alternate forms.

Eh I got my money's worth with the Wii U. I wasn't salty about Mario Kart 8. I still bought it for the Switch. It's an awesome game.
I'm really curious about this AU story. I find it funny how they're trying to make things canon. Like in the ORAS Delta Episode. There are now two universes one with mega stones and one without mega stones. I'm like um okay???

GOLD AND SILVER HYPE TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
Also, I'm actually kind of interested in US/UM. I have tried numerous times since November to get into S/M, but I have difficulty with it. That first island has so many cutscenes, I always struggle to get past it... And when I lose interest in something, I find it hard to pick up where I left off, so I always end up in a never ending cycle of restarting, getting bored, and restarting over and over and over.
That being said, I decided to try playing Sun again just for the sake of completing it before US/UM come out. So far I made it to Brooklet Hill. That's the furthest I've ever made it. Here's to hoping I don't get bored!!!

I really enjoyed SM despite its flaws. I loved a majority of the gen 7 Pokemon which made the game for me. They all had cool backstories and neat designs.
I hope Ultra SM fixes some of the flaws:
Make SOS chaining less annoying! Have a higher appearance rate for the newer Pokemon! Bigger move pools for the gen 7 Pokemon. There were some I dropped because their move pools were awful! Like the sandcastle (can't remember his name). He's part ghost and learns one ghost move. WTF!!! More clothes options (I know that was a flaw for some people, but not me. But hey! More clothes is awesome). Integrate Festival Plaza better. My god! It's a pain in a butt to deal with!
This is a negative for me: Please GF I BEG YOU no more new Ultra Beasts. I don't like them. They're dumb. They took away actual Pokemon from us like the mega evolutions did.

I doubt we'll get any new Pokemon or Ultra Beasts entirely. Probably just a bunch of new alternate forms used as a cheap marketing ploy to get you to buy another Pokemon game.
"Wanna see Keldeo get uglier while having absolutely no benefit to its stats or move pool? Hurry up and buy this flimsy rehash of a previous game!"
"Diancie's Mega Evolution is exclusive to ORAS! Were you planning on ONLY getting ORAS? Well too bad cause we're only releasing the Diancie Event for XY, so make sure you have that too!"

I have a feeling that there might be some new Alola forms - of Johto Pokemon. My nephew and I were talking about this yesterday, and he reckons that, maybe the reason we only saw new forms for Kanto Pokemon were to boost sales of the R/B/Y ports. So it would make sense if they unveil some new forms for Johto Pokemon...
Oh, also - I really hope they bring back Mega Evolution, and make more of the Mega Stones available in game. And maybe some new Mega Evolutions would be cool too.
This one, called "Burst" has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen. I looks like a fusion between a clown and one of those bird scaring balloons that the main character from Yotsuba&! is afraid of. That or a Madoka Magica witch reject.
This one is called "assembly". I don't even have a snarky comment to make about this thing.
I guess it beats marketing another alternate form as the entire reason to buy a new Pokemon game, but I'd still like to see more reasons why I should shell out $40 for an "alternate version" of the game that just came out last November.

Pokemon is awesome. I play competitive on the showdown website.....not the most typically, though! I like using pokemon that appeal to me most :3 I guess, though, i also like learning how to best use stuff on the Smogon website.
Pokemon battles are good in my book.
Also Korrina <3 Just.....Korrina.
I also like delugerpg. Its a rather relaxing little addictingly cute site lol.
