Greninja is the Water/Dark frog, right?
I know the starters are designed to be double sucky against their weakness (so Grass/Fighting... turtle...? stomps Water/Dark frog, but loses to Fire/Psychic fox with ALL THE PORN, HOLY CRAP). And that you get a Kanto starter later on (must not choose Charizard, must not choose Charizard). But that's about it.

I really miss the days where when you needed an evolution stone you could just fly to Celadon and buy it. Yeah, or f*** around in the Underground for a little. I remember getting the stones and money pretty easily with it. I dunno, I have really good luck with the treasure hunting thing in Sun and Moon. I'm sitting on 2 or 3 of every stone with really no need for any of them. lol

Omega Ruby Update!
Beat the Elite 4 and the Delta Episode. Now, to try and catch the Spiritomb in Sea Mauville without it pulling a Turn One Momento like the last time. Still waiting on starting X until I can clear the E4 again.

Been trying to breed a shiny of either a Nidoran(either sex, not really like you get to pick which it'd be in the egg, though I would prefer to get a male) or a Misdreavous, but no luck there.
So naturally, I'd get a shiny Abra without even aiming to do that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative. It isn't like I'd turn my nose up at getting any shiny, but it's probably one of the crummier shinies out there. It is just a paler Abra. Less annoying than when I got a shiny Shellos in a previous generation, but it's still underwhelming.

On another note, they've put together an official list of the creepiest Pokemon in existence! www.pokemon.com/us/halloween/countdown/The true face of terror waits below, but be very careful you don't scream when you see it. {Spoiler}

...okay, starting X today. Assuming I don't obsessively spam Super Training in OR for my Swampert, in preparation for Battle Maison shenanigans, anyway. And Super Training is seriously fun. Like, what the actual hell.

I think I'm skipping these things myself. Look like they do absolutely nothing to fix my myriad of problems with SM - and if anything make it worse since they keep talking about how much longer the story is when in Sun and Moon you couldn't take two steps without a pointless cutscene about how much Hau likes malasada as it was - and are just pouring a bunch of nostalgia on top to try and hide it.

Also, its a big "screw you" to continuity, given how each team disbanded (Giovanni gave up, Archie & Maxie learned the error of their ways, Cyrus chose to stay in the Distortion World, Ghetsis was reduced to a babbling vegetable, and by all accounts, Lysander should be dead). I know this game is an "alternate" story, but it has that bad fan fiction feel to it... Only its legit.

I miss the pre-X and Y games. Black and White 2 were perfect Pokemon games. Then they went steps backwards with Generation 6: games got too easy/simple, they threw legendaries at you and they started going overboard with Gen 1 nostalgia.
Sun and Moon were definitely a big improvement over Gen 6, but the nostalgia with Gen 1 was a bit of a problem. Ultra Sun and Moon are again, going steps backwards. An actual sequel to SM had so much potential. We could have seen Lillie become a powerful trainer, Lusamine trying to redeem herself. Nah, we gotta go with an alternate universe to make the series timeline even more confusing!

Simplistic definitely, lacking a post-game absolutely, but the Pokemon selection and potential for team diversity was probably the best it's ever been and the games were a lot more pick up and play than Sun and Moon's pick up and watch cutscenes for an hour before you can actually catch anything.

Going to be honest, I liked X, but Sun and Moon was just a much more interesting experience for me. Characters helped. Lillie, Hau, Gladion, I like. Name like, any of your "friends" from X and Y. Also, Team Flare's got just so much less personality and fun than Team Skull. Guzma and Lusamine are also a lot more interesting than Lysandre, in my opinion.
That's just my personal tastes, though. I'm looking forward to playing US or UM sometime. I would view Z as a chore.

So, uh... if anyone is still playing X/Y or OR/AS, and wouldn't mind playing the "help me evolve some evoles-by-trade and/or get version specifics" game... my friend code is 1822-0821-5757.
(In-game name is CT in X, or Nessa in OR.)
Also, why the heck can you catch wild Politoed/Starmie/Huntail when fishing in X? That's weird.

Yeah X/Y were my favorites since Gold and Silver tbh. Loved just about everything about it. Sun/Moon I still haven't finished. Feels like a chore to get through.

I went into detail on the Nintendo thread, but the 20th Anniversary movie has two weird things at the end. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Ash dies but wills himself back to life & Pikachu speaks like a human.

Video's out of some of the first hour of USUM. {Spoiler}It lets you just go grab your starter immediately after the Lillie cutscene at the start, Lillie talks for less time at the bridge, and you have to actually fight the Spearow. Little stuff but enough to make it look like USUM's a massive improvement.
