blueraven1999 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yep I'm looking forward to it. I downloaded and played the demo. I'm still not sure which one I want to buy Sun or Moon. I originally planned on buying Moon, but now I'm leaning toward buying Sun instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm actually holding off on this gen for a while. XY and Alpha Omega were a bit of a let down. If sun and moon turn out like those I'll not even bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueraven1999 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I ended up buying both Sun and Moon. Pokemon games were on sale and I got one 40% off plus I got a Pokemon pouch for free. I ended up saving $28.99. Just started playing Moon tonight. I caught three pokemon so far. Named one of them Toupee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granzchesta Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm having a lot of fun so far. I even took Friday off from work to play it. I made it past the first trial. I've caught a fair amount of Pokemon but so far I have Cutiefly, Growlithe, Pichu, Oricorio, Trumbeak and Brionne on my team. I'm finding it very difficult to swap out anybody. I was traded a Petilil (one of my favorites) so I'm trying to figure out how to place it on my team. I may just try to use as many new Pokemon as I can and go for my favorites in Moon later!

blueraven1999 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 granzchesta: I have Pichu on my team too. Just got Munchlax and Snorlium Z through Mystery Gift. Right now I have level 7 Grubbin, Yungoos, Pikipek, level 8 Pichu, and a level 9 Litten. Haven't started the island challenges yet. Currently battling the trainers at the school.

blueraven1999 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm still having fun with Moon. I passed the second trial tonight and I'm training for the third with a bunch of water pokemon I caught earlier in the game and one ground type that's pretty strong. It will probably do pretty well in the fire trial once it's leveled up. I'm also only one level away from getting a Gyarados. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochi Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 considering the colors of the Team Skull Grunt's hair, it'll be a surprise if the sun and moon anime doesn't somehow have Jessie and James quit Team Rocket and join Team Skull also side note I no longer hate the female trainer's default design, I still get a Kick out of the fact that she's wearing a "chicken glove" hat though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Having alot of fun with Moon so far and really love Alola and some of the changes that spice things up like the ride feature and the trials. So far, I've got a team of Brionne, Wingull, Pichu, Growlithe, Yungoos, and the Munchlax gift. I haven't gotten adjusted to the Z feature though so I had to go through a couple pokemon before I could beat Hau's grandpa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 been playing it a little bit this past week. just beat the big kahuna and got tauros. i thought this was gonna be a thing in gen 6 but i'll still take it. riding a tauros is awesome but i want to ride on the donkey better. right now im trying to avoid having any steel types on my team since they really make the game very easy. gonna get more playing time the next few days so i should be able to pass it.

blueraven1999 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I'm currently on the third island. I have a Mudsdale, Alolan Grimer, Steenee (messed up earlier so it can't evolve sadly), Incineroar, Charjabug, and Crabrawler. There's also a few I'm training on the side like Alolan Dugtrio, Trumbeak, Salandit, and Wishiwashi. Probably won't use them much though.

blueraven1999 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm currently fighting the Aether people now. My Grimer evolved into a Muk over the weekend. Pretty much still have the same pokemon. I've had a lot of fun catching pokemon so Poke Pelago is pretty well developed. Just started Isle Evelup tonight so that was fun. I've been working on my pokedex while playing so my progress has been slow. Plus I've spent a lot of time working on my Pokemon's affection levels. They love me.

Raptorpat Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I just beat the grass challenge and met the Prof's wife. I am unsure about how I should proceed in the game in terms of a team - while I'm not interesting in stats and competitive stuff, I get a bit anal about trying to 'maximize' my pokemon gameplay, in terms of which pokemon I carry and train and the XP they get and things like that. The past few gens I kind of defaulted on using a lot of the same pokemon multiple games over, and then a little in X but primarily in Alpha Sapphire I tried to rotate as many pokemon through my team in the most efficient way possible - like an evolution factory mill for the pokedex. I've noticed I'm definitely doing the factory mill thing again; the new pokeride system makes it a whole lot easier to free up team slots so it's easy to have three or four slots rotating out relatively frequently, or to in theory switch out a bunch of pokemon based on the area or challenge type without fear of getting stuck without an HM. Though I've never taken advantage of it, I really like the concept that you can spontaneously switch in a pokemon you've just caught on the spot when you already have a full team; it really finally gives the heal ball an actual purpose. So in my head I'm anal but also there's the voice telling me that being anal kind of ruins the fun of casual gameplay, kind of like perfectionist singplayer playthroughs or a multiplayer games with tryhards. I think when I played Alpha Sapphire I had the same "dilemma" wherein I felt like I didn't want to use pokemon I always use at the expense of the 95% of the 900 pokemon I've never really used beyond catching/evolving for the pokedex and the game gifted me a solid pokemon from the start (shiny metagross/snorlax) that is too convenient not to use through the whole game, but I can never just catch and use a bunch of random pokemon for variety's sake. So I think, like in AS, I will just default into continuing to factory mill evolve pokemon on a few slots, snorelax will still tank everything in the first slot (Happy Hour for battles, Hold Back for catching) the whole game, and my starter will stay on the team but be underused. Which means it will more or less be the same experience on my end as the last game, and the one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 eh just play with what you like. this gen removed hm slaves altogether which lets you put on more balanced teams. hell you dont really need much balance since most random trainers only carry 2 pokemon.

blueraven1999 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just made it to Poni Island a day or so ago. Haven't made much progress since I'm still working on my Pokedex while playing. My progress so far: Alola Pokedex 35% Melemele Pokedex 44% Akala Pokedex 46% Ula'ula Pokedex 43% Poni Pokedex 41% So I'm getting there. My Rockruff evolved today and two of my eggs hatched today. One of my baby pokemon I got from the ranch and I bred two of my Araquanid (named them Spider-Man names Peter Parker and Jessica Drew) to get a Dewpider (named it Petey after it's dad).

blueraven1999 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm close to the end finally. Just beat Hau for probably the last time. My Crabrawler evolved into Crabominable last night and I have Vikavolt now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueraven1999 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I beat the game. I really wish I could have saved after beating the elite four and champion. It was driving me crazy.

Distortedreasoning Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I'm close to the end finally. Just beat Hau for probably the last time. My Crabrawler evolved into Crabominable last night and I have Vikavolt now too. both pokemon were in my late game party. crabominable has awesome offensive typing and a good move set to go along with it. and vikavolt has great design and not to mention fantastic special attack. both of them felt really strong in game.

blueraven1999 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm still playing the postgame. Only have one more ultra beast to catch. I had a hard time finding the second to last ultra beast. Caught the first one easily but it took me a few days to find the second one. So to pass the time I trained my pokemon by defending my Champion title two times. It's fun seeing who the challengers are and my pokemon are now level 62.

blueraven1999 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Forgot to mention that I beat Blue a week or so ago. I still haven't found the last Ultra Beast yet. I'll find it eventually.

blueraven1999 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I decided to get back into it tonight and found the last ultra beast. It was the hardest one to catch so far. Or maybe I just had really good luck with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueraven1999 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'm having a fun time working on my pokedex. I caught a Golduck tonight and a couple of my pokemon have evolved. My Alolan Meowth finally evolved into Persian so I took it to Oak in the library and got a Love ball. So I'm pretty happy about that. I was leveling up my Meowth for a couple days now so I'm glad it finally evolved. Still working on Growlithe. I'm waiting until it learns flamethrower. Then I'll evolve it. I evolved my Alolan Sandshrew with the Ice Stone. I gave my eevee a thunderstone so now I have Jolteon. I have several eevee plus a ditto which I'll eventually use to get more eevee. Plus I still have several stones I can use if the game lets me. Also my Sandile evolved into Krokorok tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Picked up a used copy of moon the other day. There were still pokemon on it from the last person "I assume his name is Josh". Put those in my pokebank as well as the pokemon that I had caught in r/b/y. I'm not going to use any of those until post game if at all. I'm getting through the game pretty quick it seems. So far I'm at least enjoying it more than I did XY, which I thought was the worst in the series. I went with Popplio as my starter "now a Brionnee". I was going to go with rowlet, but I watched a baby seal video and it made me want to pet a seal. So far I have gone through the Salazzle Trail. Trial 2 and 3 felt way to close together. Pretty much most of the fights have been Brionnee use Bubblebeam (is it still alive) Use aqua jet. I hope the trainers get more than 2 pokemon at some point or at least have some higher levels. Love the poke-ride mechanic. It's close to the idea I have had since gen4. However my idea was make HM's passive skills on pokemon you have in your party. Used stoutlands ability for a while, but most of the items I get are junk and don't seem worth the effort. Way better to just use tauros.

blueraven1999 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hunter: I'm glad I'm not the only one still playing on this forum. I'm still working on my Pokedex. Caught a few new pokemon including two Hypno. Bred them, got a egg, and put the egg in the spa in the Poke Pelago. Used the GTS two times to get a Rowlet and a Elekid. I already leveled up Rowlet to its final evolution and haven't used the Elekid yet. I'll level it up later along with a bunch of other pokemon. I've been working on the happiness level for Igglypuff. It still needs one more heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I play in spurts, maybe once a week. I last stopped just after beating the third kahuna and taking the boat to rescue lily. I don't know if it's due to pokemon shuffle scratching the itch between generations, the game not having the ORAS tracker that lets you know whether you've caught everything in an area, or whether my interest is just waning as I get older and have other things to do, but this is the least-engrossed I've ever been in a pokemon game.

blueraven1999 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Caught a dratini and barboach today in Moon. My goldeen evolved into a seaking.

blueraven1999 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've been leveling up my Pikachu and Growlithe today. Both are currently level 41. Once Growlithe learns flare blitz, I'll evolve it into Arcanine with a fire stone. Pikachu still needs to level up a lot more before it's ready to evolve. I want it to learn thunder first.
