You can get shinies but you have to work for it. I got a lot in AS and X after getting the shiny charm for completing the dex and spamming horde battles. Got some from chaining.

They made getting a shiny Feebas almost too easy in ORAS chain fishing under that bridge where they appear 100% of the time. The one year on christmas I caught one and evolved it into shiny Milotic and stuck it on wondertrade because I'm very charitable like that (:

Spoiler: New Trailer

As someone who's somehow not come in any contact with leaks, I definitely can't say I was expecting these two to come back.

Ok So... Final evos are;

Grass Ghost
Fire Dark
Water Fairy.

Grass ghost is not really new...
Thank God it's not Fire Fighting again... But Fire Dark is not new either. Houndoom even has a Mega Evo, so... This thing better be good.
Water Fairy is a nice combination I guess.

They have grown up sexy, damn.

Them child-bearing hips.

Them child-bearing hips.

Sometimes you have to accept Ken Sugimori will never draw (or will rarely draw) good hips on males.

We have a move called Darkest Lariat.

Man, i need a 3ds more than ever.

But not new either... and omg Blue and Red!

I never would have guessed Litten would evolve into Zangief

 

[Hayabusiness]

Is it just me, or Ken Sugimori's artwork for this game looks rough and rushed? The game models look so cute but the artwork seems like fanart at times.

Meanwhile there's already fanart out like this

I'm officially Team Rowlett now. It's final evolution is awesome. I aslo feel Sun and Moon reminds me a bit of LoZ: Majora's Mask

Ah yes. Forgot about the Azumarill line. Not to mention Tapu Fini is a much cooler water/fairy type.

I'm also likely going for Rowlet. I don't really like Litten's final evo as much as Rowlet's... And well, Popplio is not my thing, even though its final evo is elegant.

I really need a 3ds soon enough, can't wait to make my competitive team and suck at it because i don't follow the meta. hurray

It was crazy when that Pokemon Go Spark guy was revealed by Nintendo. Since I didn't follow Pokemon and had no interest in Go I had no clue who that guy was that everyone and their grandma were drawing on Twitter, Tumblr, Deviantart etc. He was everywhere. x__X

An hour on Pokemon Online should give you a good idea of the basic most used Pokemon and their setups. I generally develop unconventional teams that focus on countering the standard setups without using popular pokemon. Back in Gen IV I developed an Ice team that a lot of people had trouble beating, and that's with all of Ice type's weaknesses. I've tried doing the same in later gens, but the fact that weather no longer lasts the whole match really ruins the whole team I built. Although it was a necessary balance change. Weather was extremely powerful.

The same thing needs to happen to something like stealth rocks... It completely destroys Pokemon that are 4x weak to rock. It has counters, but so did weather.

Dear Pokemon players: I'm wondering if one of you would do me a favor that I'm not sure I completely understand to begin with. First, I want to have a Tyrunt for my run in Sun and Moon. That's the easier part. Nothing special, just a normal one. But I don't want the Pokemon itself, I either want it as an egg or the fossil. Now the reason is because I want it to gain experience at a normal rate, not boosted, so I believe the only way to do that is if I hatch it myself, correct?

The next question is whether or not what I'm talking about can even be done...can you just give someone a fossil or an egg? Thanks in advance. I know I don't play these games the normal way since my intent is to get the Tyrunt early on and then pretty much use it through the whole game, but yeah. Just what I enjoy.

 

[Juihau]

I think fossils are considered normal items now, so you can have a Pokemon hold it and trade it like that. I don't know about eggs, though.

 

[Hayabusiness]

Yeah, trade in a Pokèmon with a tyrunt's pre-evo fossil as their held item.

 

[CyberEvil]

Nice. So I need a volunteer haha.
