Keldeo is available for download.

Spoiler: Getting its Resolute Form (click to show/hide)

Go to Mauville City. You would think you would go to the Sword and Song Academy in the SE of Mauville, except the guy is getting drunk at the Crooner's Cafe in the SW of Mauville. He will teach it Secret Sword(apparently a different move from Sacred Sword?). Ditch Leer to learn it, that move is garbage. As long as Keldeo knows Secret Sword, it will remain in Resolute Form. Presumably the same guy will teach Relic Song once Meloetta comes out in December.

Does anyone know the stat differences between Ordinary and Resolute Forms?


Also, avoid going to Bulbapedia, now their advertisements include random redirects to possible malware sites.

It's purely cosmetic.

Also Sacred Sword is 90 power, physical and ignores stat boosts.

Secret Sword is 85 power and does physical damage but is a special move (like psyshock).

This makes it sound like Sacred Sword is so much better (and it kinda is) but Keldeo's special attack is so much higher than its attack so it's better off with Secret Sword.

Got my pre-order in for Sun and Moon yesterday(along with a pre-owned copy of Ocarina of Time DS-remake ). Was cheaper than expected, about $30 each, minus the money down for the pre-order($5 each). The clerk mentioned he's required to ask everyone who pre-orders if they're a Pokemon fan, and say he is too.

I forgot to post the Darkrai event, but a second-chance North America Hoopa event is running with the universal serial code 2016HOOPA, if you missed the Gamestop distribution.  Also, most European countries should be able to pick up Volcanion with a serial code available at whichever local stores Nintendo prefers, so they aren't feeling left-out; North America shall be waiting until the 10th.

Oh hey, pre-order buddy!

I find it ironic that a move called Secret Sword has the side effect of changing Keldeo's appearance, making it completely obvious that you've given it the move literally as soon as you send Keldeo out.

I think it's the opposite that's more concerning. If you see one that doesn't have the move, you're more likely to be cautious about what's going to happen.

Because why wouldn't it have its best STAB? Either you're facing a scrub or some serious mindgames.

Starters First Evolution Stage revealed. Ash Greninja is in the game and can be obtained in the upcoming demo and then later transferred to the main games.

Well... those evolutions are uh... I just can't imagine them turning into those cool "leaked" final evolutions that have been flying around for some time.
I mean Drawfee's guess at Rowlet's evolutions is looking pretty accurate tbh

Which are you thinking of? I can see some decent links between Dartrix and the robin hood design, and Brionne and the siren design. Torracat is more ambiguous, but the [website's description](http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/torracat/) talks a lot about punching, so there's a connection for the wrestler/heel. Still nothing about what secret they're supposed to share with Rockruff.

[Akura]

Don't tell me that this Gen's Fire-type starter evolution is going to be Fighting-type as well...

Brionne looks pretty adorable, while Dartrix's look when you pet it in the wrong spot is going to be a reaction meme - also hooray for the return of the Pokemon-amie.

The Festival Plaza looks exactly like the castle town from the F2P Pokemon Rumble World, only without Nintendo Miis.

The other thing they showed, looks like an alternate way to catch Pokemon? Possibly catching Pokemon not native to Alola? Looks like a substitute to the Day-Care as well, since Pokemon can gain levels in it.

So...

Does payday create counterfeit coins? or are the coins themselves valuable?

What is odd is that the show implies that yes... they are counterfeit coins... but that for some reason they are 100% redeemable.

I am not sure if that says bad things about the Pokémon economy... or that their economy is so great that someone can flood the market with extra coins and everyone will be perfectly fine.

My guess is that Pokemon's universe is mostly post-scarcity and that they're "nominally capitalist". They have machines that can more or less instantly heal injuries, their tech is shown frequently to be advanced enough to read and process dreams into viewable content and also to resurrect long dead pokemon from fossils; team aqua/magma has a unique environment suit much smaller than astronaut suits, which can cope quite easily with space, and many more things besides.

My other guess is "It's just a game/cartoon, shit doesn't really need to make sense".

[Furtuka]

Meowth's pokedex entries seem to imply that in the game verse at least it's just collecting loose change it comes across and hiding them somewhere until it has to use them in battle.

I think you're thinking too hard
