The Shiny Xerenas is now available on wi-fi. Next week it'll be Vvetal, so get it while you can.

So now we get confirmation about Zygarde's new forms and I have to say, this one looks kinda cool.

Spoiler:

Pretty much. XD

I really don't care for his forms.

How about Iwanko and Nekkoala, eh?? I think those two are pretty adorable!! I love that Iwanko is a Rock type -- Rock types are usually so lumpy and ugly, but this one is so cute!!

Same, in fact I'm pretty fed up with alternate forms in Pokemon. It's becoming not only too much of a gimmick, but also an excuse to make people buy a new game just so a four legged horse can get a longer horn and some wild hair.

Seriously, Keldeos Resolute form is 100% aesthetic, no functional difference. The worst part is, it's signature move "Secret Sword" can also be learned in the first B/W games, where the hideous alternate form isn't programmed in.

At least ORAS shows that they learned their lesson about version exclusive mega evolutions.

I love them both! I am super hyped for gen 7! The region looks beautiful and I love the pokemon so far. I can't pick a starter yet. lol For sure I am getting Iwanko!

*shrugs* I think the main reason people buy another copy is so they can have a second file. That's what I do. I pretty much own every version and I'm not a shame of it. Most of my copies were gifts. Only time I feel like someone can use an excuse to buy a second copy is the third version. Generally the third version spices things up a bit and has better pokedex.

Yeah, I like having multiple copies so I can have more files... I generally like to have permanent save files that I use for serious post-game stuff, and I like to have a second copy to do playthroughs with. (I'm really fond of monotype challenges!) Actually, because of my tendency to keep permanent files, I've only ever played B2/W2 once. I don't own two copies of that game.

Yeah I started to buying more versions because I used that have a habit of restarting my game when I got to the Elite Four. Now with the Pokebank I can breed in my AS file and send Pokemon to my other gen 6 games and create fun playthroughs.

Monotype challenges are my favorite. The most recent one I did was all Ghost Pokemon through Platinum. I used Gengar, Rotom, Drifblim, Dusknoir, Spiritomb, and Froslass. It was pretty tricky to pull off, since some of those Pokemon are hard to get, but I managed it!

In Y I'm doing a challenge only using wonder traded pokemon.

In OR I'm doing a Miraculous Ladybug theme.

Ahh, I've done Wonder Trade challenges before! It's fun! It's better in X/Y than in OR/AS, though... The whole "traded Pokemon don't listen to you if you don't have enough gym badges" thing is really annoying in OR/AS. It's much more manageable in X/Y.

Yeah I found that out in OR when I brought over a Budew. I was in the middle of the first gym battle and she stopped listening to me. Luckily I won.

Okay, so we have more news about Sun and Moon and I have to say...

Battle Royale mode looks awesome. Kinda surprised they didn't already come up with that earlier, since it seems to be the logical conclusion after multi-battles. Either way, I'm definitely interested in that, and I hope to have some battle royales against people who don't just use Garchomp. : P

I guess it's cool?

I never really cared about battling my friends.

Ah, I'm excited for Battle Royale mode. I'm no good at it, but I actually love competitive Pokemon. It fascinates me, and I actually enjoy IV breeding and EV training. I used to battle online a lot in Gen V, but I didn't really do it much for Gen VI. But I might consider going online again for Battle Royale mode.
