    Personally, I'd hope for a bit more than just an enhanced port if they do put it on the Switch. The Switch is a lot more powerful than the 3DS is, so they could do so much more with the games on the Switch. And really, it's not the 3DS successor. Sure it's a console/handheld hybrid, but it is Nintendo's next console replacing the WiiU first and foremost, not the 3DS/2DS.

    ...luckily DAKIMAKURA evolve into rapidash on the trip to lake acuity because, D*** IT WAS COLD!!! unfortunately a huge group of galacti-nerds were blocky the way, so he healed up in the snowpoint city pokecenter and challenged the gym, with a REALLY close call on HURNK HONK's expense, clear it yet again. candice gave him her number, as well as the other gym leaders (not sure if she was friendly or flirty) and WE G 64 took his leave....

    checking the entrance, and yup, they froze to death. WA WE G was apparently defeated by the purple haired nerd, who ran away quickly. assuming that the spirit here was taken as well they tried calling dawn but she didn't pick up. WA WE G mentions that there main HQ is that cool building with the spikes on it, so WE G 64, deciding that they were too nerdy to have a building that cool, left to clear out the building which was going perfectly until after he reached the leader's office...

    there was a painting of the guy with blue hair from his nightmares. he began freaking out, which revealed a master ball and an active computer. it mentioned "the dragon gods", "the spirits of the lakes" and something called "the red chain". VELVET pointed out a warp pad at the end of the room, which led to the captured lake spirits. right after he set them free, he got a call from dawn's phone....but it wasn't her....

    it was the nightmare guy...."WE G 64. you are wrong. this world is wrong. once i'm done, it won't matter-" at this point, WE G 64 heard dawn yelling in the background, something about a speared pillar. he then hung up. freaking out like never before, he began calling everyone he knows that might know something about a speared pillar. cynthia said that it is located at the highest part of mt. coronet, and she'll help gather everyone to assist him there in case if what she read in the books are correct....


    so i'm beginning to think i've been doing nuzlockes wrong, because teamfourstar was worried about capturing gloom when they already caught oddish....is it individual pokemon slots that you can only catch or the entire evolution chain? because i've been doing the chain...meaning i only catch a machop, and i can't catch a machoke if i didn't evolve it....

    That's up to your personal preference. I don't catch the evos of critters I've already caught but some people do. Heck, some people even catch multiples of the same pokemon if it's their first encounter on multiple routes.

    It's a successor to both, frankly. There's a reason they advertise the main feature of it to be a handheld on-the-go gaming device as powerful as a console, and why most games run better/are optimized for handheld mode.

    Except Nintendo just announced the New 2DS XL a few weeks ago to be released in July. With another new version of the 2DS coming out soon, it doesn't appear Nintendo is planning on leaving them behind any time soon. The Switch may be another on-the-go gaming device, but it doesn't look like it's superseding the 3DS/2DS. The Switch is meant to be a console you can take with you, while the 3DS/2DS is still Nintendo's exclusive hand-held device.

    ah. thanks! i think i prefer my way, althought it makes the diamond lock extremely hard, since almost every 3 locations is the same place....
    he remembered.

    diamond nuzlocke

    so WE G 64 met up with everyone he met up with so far to help him reach the spear pillar. they all split into groups of three (WA WE G and Cheryl went with WE G 64) to try and find the correct way to the spear pillar. it took a long time, but cheryl noticed a trail of galacti-nerds so they followed it. cheryl got stuck battling a few, but she told them that she'll catch up.

    finally reaching the top, the nightmare guy could be seen in the near distance, with dawn at the center of (what he could only assume from his nightmares) a sacrificial ritual ring. before the team could get there, the two female galacti-nerds blocked the way and challenged them. the nightmare guy started shouting to WE G 64 during the battle.

    "this world shouldn't be like this! there are no mega stones, no z-crystals, HMs still exist, and dawn is still alive. that night in veilstone city. she took the bullet. something snapped in me. i began killing everyone. i did anything for more potions! then when i heard about the pokemon that can travel dimensions, i lured WA WE G here, killed his pokemon, then him...palkia was supposed to bring me to the potion world, but instead dropped me here! don't you see? the nightmares? i see you, being happy, being potionless, it makes me sick!"

    it was at this point the purple haired lady lost all her pokemon and WA WE G told WE G 64 to save dawn. he got close when WE G 64 started to yell at the nightmare guy,
    "i don't care who you are! i won't let anyone hurt dawn!"
    "but you should care! don't you see it? I'M YOU!!! just from a different road! and now i'll get wh-"
    "SHUT UP, EMO G!!!!!! IF YOU NEED YOUR SACRIFICE, BATTLE ME! IF I LOSE, YOU KILL ME BUT LEAVE DAWN ALONE! IF I WIN, YOU CRAWL UNDER A ROCK AND DIE!!!"
    "why should i-"
    "super secret potion...."

    thus the extreme battle between WE G 64 and EMO G began. he was extremely tough. HM OR DETH and HURNK HONK died, ROSHITOSHI, Mr.TIPPS, and DAKIMAKURA were seriously injured....essentially it came down to a full healthed VELVET against his GARDIS (gyarados) and GUEZUDEIT (weavile). WE G 64 can't explain it, but it looked like VELVET was glowing in rainbow colors. she took down both of his pokemon with a single hit.

    EMO G began to freak out and tried to shoot the group, but a sniper shot took him down. cheryl was at the entrance and around the corner, WA WE G was making out with the weird skirt lady. dawn was untied and unharmed. it looked like everything was over until the portal opened up. while everyone was expecting the huge legendary pokemon palkia, instead came out.....a two foot tall dialga. it was too cute! it ran up to WE G 64, and was playful! he caught it with that master ball he found and named her TOWA.

    as of right now, everyone is resting up, adjusting to what happened....WE G 64 was worried if he'd still become that sick, but dawn convinced him otherwise...

    ok shall get it. I hope it tweaks the battle tree to make it at least close to fair.

    Edit: No such luck

    patch notes

    Version 1.2 includes fixing these issues:

    • Pokémon being unable to attack and switch when Sky Drop is used and when knocked out by damage done by Spiky Shield.

    • A glitch in Poké Pelago when entering a new month.

    • A rare case where the game ends after using an Evolution item as the last item in your Bag.

    • Scatterbug sometimes not learning Egg Moves.

    • Eggs sometimes being able to be given items.

    • A glitch ending the tournament when pre-registered for an online Friendly Competition (e.g. entry gets canceled or the Battle Teams get unlocked).

    You need to update your 3DS manually. Go to other settings in data management and click system update, that will do it.

    no, i meant when i tried to get my plaza points from the last mission, as well as downloading the rare candy through the mystery gift, i got the "we are doing maintenance" warning pop up. as i said, i already downloaded the updates.

    Hello fellow pokéfans! It has been a while since I posted here. Really that I pushed myself to complete the two copies of Sun and moon. Gen 7 are really good pokémon games but I was getting all poké out and wanted to play other games like Killer Instinct and of course Zelda on the Switch. Not saying I'm bored with pokémon, it's just that there are other great games and I got a couple hundred games I never played before. Mostly old school games and I have put my foot on completing my collection of N64 games. Only 12 more to go.

    Anyone who has Pokémon stadium and Pokémon stadium 2 (my favorite of the 2) and the Transfer Pak, has the Transfer Pak ever failed to read the gen 1 and gen 2 games?
    Has the Transfer Pak ever damaged the slot of the N64 controller that it causes data in the controller Pak to be erased?

    I really wish I registered my best teams in the main games to PS1 and 2 back then.
