Official Pokémon Sun and Moon (S&M) Thread

[Marquis]

Did you lose the game or did you delete it?

was trying to upgrade to a larger SD card because this game takes up so much space, and some error happened and then incompatible savefile errors.

[animorpherv1]

I masterballed it because I had caught the others and I wasn't spending another forever on Fini when Bulu refused to catch.

[Davsto]

The other three I did first try

Fini took me around 10-15 resets

I keep my Master Balls for something which I can't afford not to catch like a shiny, not something that's difficult to catch but I can reset however many times until I manage it.

[animorpherv1]

I was going to reset anyways, so using a masterball never mattered!

[Felissan]

I'm pretty sure R/S Rayquaza still can't be beaten in difficulty to catch without a Master Ball.

[Annadog40]

I caught them I remember.

I stocked up on 100 ultra, great and Pokéballs

[Psyche]

waiting through the animations for the ORAS elite four was very very annoying

[Annadog40]

Z-Moves are kinda like that.

[Spiffeh]

Wow so I just lost to the 4th trial's totem Pokemon twice in a row

My current team is
Salandit
Mudbray
Brionne

Lurantis OHKO's Mudbray and Brionne,
and Salandit is too frail to survive a 2v1 all by itself when Lurantis' bitch ass spams Synthesis

Hooray for challenge though!!!

[Spiffeh]

I guess I'll take Oricorio out of retirement to help out even though I kinda hate using Pokemon I won't use in the long run

[Annadog40]

Oricorio is the best.

I used it to beat Lurantis after a long long long match.

[AniX]

I FINALLY hatched a shiny Minior and officially have an "Every Form" Living Dex for the new guys. Now once the Bank opens in January all I'll have to do is transfer over and bask in my completeness.

[AniX]

Also everyone who completed the game: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/ ... -magearna/

[Spiffeh]

Dw fam I beat Lurantis on the third attempt

I just had Oricorio use Featherdance on both Pokemon and stalled it out of Synthesis

[Davsto]

First try through paralysing it

Reducing its ability to heal, and if it can't move on either turn of solar blade the whole move fails.

[Parama]

I beat the pokemon league and never blacked out once so I'd say it was an easy game

Like it tho

[Psyche]

really wish my character wouldn't black out when he loses
it just seems kind of melodramatic
let's go back to whiting out

[Davsto]

Yeah, I've only blacked out twice, and that was at the Teacher because I wasn't prepared to fight a Magnemite, and post-game with that battle with Anabel to start catching the Ultra Beasts because fuck me I wasn't expected level 61 Pokémon and my team was underleveled for the League (53-ish) and I went there straight afterwards and got absolutely slaughtered.

On the other hand, they weren't easy fights and I was regularly losing Pokémon during the tougher battles (Totems, Kahunas and League) and getting those "fuck me I only just made it" moments all the time, unlike Y where I rarely had a Pokémon faint the entire game, and then the Elite Four had the nerve to not even level up or gain Pokémon during the rematches.

[animorpherv1]

I had literally 0 problems with the elite four. Save Olivia's Lead getting 2 ancient power boosts in a row.

[McMenno]

fucking incineroar powned me the first time

I soft reset though :^)

[Chevre]

My Team, just got to Paniola town lol

Herdier
Rufflet
Meowth
Growlithe
Magnemite
Gastly

[Garmr]

472 eggs latter got a shiny

[AniX]

Congrats. After finally hatching my shiny Minior I guess it is finally time for me to get my battle team together and unlock all the passport stamps/throwing styles in the Battle Resort. The BP doesn't even matter since I've made a ton of Pokemon accruing interest in Pokebank since day 1 so I have Scrooge McDuck levels of BP saved up ready to transfer in to buy Megastones. I might buy a Kangaskanite though before then.

[Davsto]

Got my first shiny! Was Ditto-hunting (aim is to get one Ditto of each nature to make breeding for natures infinitely quicker through Everstone use), randomly got a shiny Fearow. With Jolly (+Spd -Sp Atk) nature too!

[Spiffeh]

Using this game to procrastinate on studying for my finals and I just beat the Ghost Trial

The water starter final evolution is OP af I am so glad I chose Popplio

I am really hooked to this world/story, plus almost all of the new Pokemon have good designs and are actually viable both in game and competitively

DEFINITELY better than gens 5/6 and probably 3 too
