If it happens that you can get another Pikachu by simply wiping the save file, then I could potentially provide a "service" obtaining extra Pikachu for people. Gonna have to essentially cancel my Moon playthrough, but it would help me as well as others.

Functionally makes no difference to restarting your game if you're just trading them to someone else. Hell you could even change your OT if people wanted specific OT's. Just don't game sync or you're liable to eat a PGL ban for changing your TID/SID. People wouldn't even be able to tell you did it unless you provided a video of the entire process of you wiping the cart, redeeming the code, and collecting the gift.

But anyway, while I [I]could[/I] use CFW to make the process faster (and fully offline, avoiding potential bans), a lot of people consider injected Wonder Cards to be illegitimate. And call it paranoia, but I don't really want one of my 'legit' Pokemon games touching one of my hacked systems, even if it's offline. If I can claim infinite event Pikachu through legitimate means (and it looks like I should be able to if this event uses a universal code), then I'm going to do it that way.

I would test this hypothesis but I lack a physical SM cart. As an aside, you'd also want to set the location as received in a trade for all but the first one to be released, otherwise it would be pretty trivial to detect that they were injected.

I haven't played Black/White (1 and 2) all the way through yet, but isn't Kyurem a fusion Pokemon with the mascots of the games?
[QUOTE=BrandoJack;52667378]I haven't played Black/White (1 and 2) all the way through yet, but isn't Kyurem a fusion Pokemon with the mascots of the games?[/QUOTE] But that's only 2 fusions, they were talking about the possibility of mix-and-match-any-pokemon-you-want level of freedom.
And you can only have a fused Kyurem per file, and a fuckton of extra steps and bugs and the like. And let's see what kind of mess will the USUM mascots introduce. (And, in any case, remember that we still haven't seen the complete form of Kyurem because of reasons).

It [I]should[/I] be good, but I'll find out for sure on the 19th.
Shiny Silvally will be given away in Japan through a serial code. [media]https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/907180242141413376[/media] I'm 95% sure this is a giveaway to celebrate Awakened Heroes/Transdimensional Beast TCG sets' release, so when Crimson Invasion comes out they'll do a giveaway over here.
And Corocoro leaked and Serebii confirmed: Necrozma is Kyurem 2. Here is hoping both of them end up getting a complete form in the future. (Poor Zygarde and its lack of game)

I've gotten all of DPPt to launch, not personally tested HGSS but plenty of other people have reported them working just fine.
Some more, nothing substantial but nice art none the less. [t]http://i.imgur.com/yfACToJ.jpg[/t]
[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52673811]Some more, nothing substantial but nice art none the less. [/QUOTE] This is about what I expect from USUM, to be fair
Think we'll get anything out of tomorrow's Direct?
Probably the same stuff we are getting with Corocoro, complete with higher resolution, videos, and updates to the official web. Also, Necrozma is a pitch black body, whose edges are bright and emit light. Just like a total solar eclipse (fresh in the mind of plenty of people, while we are at that). Here is hoping they do something with that...
the fusions are... really ugly. And I'm desperately hoping for simply a third Necrozma form but I guess that ain't happening
They were paired games, just like Black 2 and White 2, so a single form seemed to be off the charts. Plus, we've known about these for THREE MONTHS, ever since the games were announced. That's the issue when the original paired versions of a gen try to play themselves as different from each other, we end up with an incomplete third version (while Emerald and Platinum felt like the definitive take on their regions). 100% Zygarde could have been a version mascot for a singular Kalos game, by the looks of it. But the third Kalos game was quite likely scrapped to focus on Gen VII for the 20th anniversary. And well, the games aren't even out, but I'll hope for an Eclipse Necrozma in all its geometric winged lion glory. As well as for a Complete Kyurem with both black and white, yin and yang, fire and thunder. Seriously, gimme a complete Kyurem, if you want to revisit old Pokemon, do that rather than repurposing Kanto designs.
I'm planning on playing BW2 after finishing XY, and challenge mode piqued my interest Buuut then I read that to activate challenge mode in W2, you have to trade an item from somebody who has defeated the champion in B2. I cannot find the words to express how fucking retarded that is. Flavouring the game to my taste shouldn't require assistance from someone else.

I think PKHeX can set it. Fun fact: the 3DS' AGB_FIRM supported 1Mbit/128KB flash saves the whole time, the correct footer flags just weren't known. No more patching Pokemon ROMs in order to make them save after injecting them. Also SMA4 and that JP FZero game work now.
Lycanroc has its own Z move called Radical Edge Storm, which requires Stone Edge. All three forms can use it and it removes field effects (so Terrain and weather? Maybe Trick Room/Wonder Room/Magic Room too?). [t]https://www.serebii.net/corocoro10173.jpg[/t] Also the special Rockruff that evolves into Dusk form has Own Tempo for its Ability. It will need to reach Level 25 or higher between 17:00 and 17:59 in order to evolve.
So they keep the Greninja/Zygarde procedure of hidden formes with different abilities... Cumbersome as fuck. However, mid-gen new 'mons? Neat!
[video=youtube;8rQLqeX_LcQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rQLqeX_LcQ[/video] A clown and a fortress. Looks neat.
Watch as that fortress thing gets a 45/5/255/5/255/5 spread and it becomes a staple of stall metas
A stack of bricks and a lollipop, count me in.
[QUOTE=Jorori;52678773]Watch as that fortress thing gets a 45/5/255/5/255/5 spread and it becomes a staple of stall metas[/QUOTE] 45 and 255 aren't prime numbers :eng101s:
...so Burst and Assembly. they're not going to point out the elephant in the room, in that besides Nihilego (which was plot relevant, in SM) and Guzzlord (vital to backstory in SM), that they're not doing anything with Xurkitree? I had an entire headcanon that Xurkitree is an exclusive to the [sp]Sun/Moon reality[/sp], Ultra Sun/Moon would be more than a retelling like Emerald and should be more in line with ORAS' Delta Episode where it turns out that there's [sp]alternate realities[/sp]. i assumed that most Ultra Beasts would indirectly share appearences between games via some convoluted deal. [sp]Whilst you can travel to a 12-hour+ reality in the aftergame of Sun/Moon, because Solgaleo/Lunala's power were nulled down, you're just going to a reality where said Astral energy retains a similar dominion over said sister reality's Alola as your home game. leading to still only evolving Midday/Midnight Lycanroc and what Pokemon Cosmoem evolves into[/sp]. TLDR spoilers. [sp]Xurkitree should realistically be the only thing that should be shared between Sun/Moon, as it emerges from the Ultra Wormhole in both games. Guzzlord is mainly tied to Looker's backstory. remove the potential that Mohn was kidnapped and trade him with Lusamine, and suddenly you're going to have much different divergences. it's like flipping a coin, and having someone else flip a coin with greasy fingers[/sp]. I'm thinking Burst is going to be Poison/Psychic (or Poison/Fairy? it's some sort of fungal spore/spirochaete/clown...thing), and Assembly will be Steel/Ice. their name would be Mycelichum/Virulaugh and Fortresque/Zigguriot, respectively. though theming Burst after fungi might be stepping on Shiinotic a bit. EDIT: Or Assembly is called Moduleye? (Modular and Eye. it has eyes everywhere, and it could probably imitate structures)
