They had starter plushies at the midnight release... I couldn't resist!

Too bad I have to work in the morning instead of staying up all night to play.  :wha:

I've been vibrating all week, so much intensifying

There's never any midnight releases here. :| But eh, like you Silver, I work in the morning anyway so it's not like I could enjoy it.

Gonna pick up my copies tomorrow night after work! uvu

Those are SO adorable, Silver! <3

After checking online, two of my three local Gamestops are already totally sold out of the Litten plush. :c
Still, I might try to get one for Havok and I to share. (Because... any plush that is "mine," is still regularly kidnapped and put on his bed. Lol. My Pichu spends most nights among his toys.)

I'm definitely excited for the release, but I'm still not sure when I'll be getting my copy (or which one of the two I will be getting), since it'll be a gift from the husband. So, it might be a random gift, or I may have to wait until closer to Christmas. Aaah.

There's nothing wrong with having a different opinion. Those that like it, can like it, those that dislike it, can dislike it. Neither party is wrong, it's just a matter of personal taste. Same as simply choosing which starter you prefer. I think Litten is the cutest of the three starters, but I like Decidueye best, out of the final evolutions.I doubt everyone has those exact same opinions.


It's still pretty rude to say "poor male Primarina," as if they should all be pitied for not conforming to human gender roles.

"The owl is neat, I'll give it that, but the poor amount of male water ballerinas/clowns will be disheartening."

Are you referring to this statement? Because this is clearly using 'poor' to define quantity - i.e. not a lot of players are going to play Primarinas, and that's sad - as opposed to clarifying an emotional state, like you seem to be taking offense to. You're taking what Cita said out of context.

I've literally never heard the word "poor" used like that, so what other context was I supposed to take it in?

Calming down might be a cool idea my dudes. I don't think it was meant to be mean-spirited at all.

I'm so impatient to get this game though argh I'm gonna try to pick up my pre-ordered copy tomorrow. :'0 Here's hoping they might have a plush or two left! Also I really didn't like ultra beasts at first but I've warmed up to them so much. I honestly feel like, with the amount of effort and love that was obviously poured into Sun and Moon, it might just be my favorite generation so far. Even if I don't love every new Pokemon, I think their unified inspiration is just awesome. ovo

Looking up the definition online, you will find one meaning of the word to be: "less than adequate :  meager." Another way to word Cita's statement, would be something like, "The owl is neat, I'll give it that, but the meager amount of male water ballerinas/clowns will be disheartening." Or, even more clearly, "The owl is neat, I'll give it that, but the lack of male water ballerinas/clowns will be disheartening."

I'd like to leave things at that, since there really isn't anything else to say on the matter. It seems as though it was mostly a misunderstanding, from the beginning. Going any further is just going to get things too far off track and bring down the mood of the thread.

Now, to get the thread back on track, I'm SUPER curious, what starters did you guys (those of you that have gotten your hands on the game already) actually end up with? I know some of you had said what you were most interested in, but I'm wondering about the final results.

Aaaand, as I was typing this, my husband just sneaks up and whispers to me, "What one do you want, Sun or Moon?" So... I guess he's letting me choose, since he doesn't have a preference this time, even though it was his turn to pick first. I told him that I prefer Sun's legendary just a liiiitle bit more~

Team Popplio!

I've been on team Popplio since the first forms were revealed, and I stuck with it! I named him Pupper.

I got a copy of each (so did my partner), but I started with Sun. Even though I like Lunala more, there's an exclusive I couldn't turn down in Sun. I won't spoil it. :P

I'll go through Moon next as a Nuzlocke, I reckon.

Team Litten here!

Yes, I'm a little disappointed that we go from kitten to kitty to biped looks-like-a-fighting-type-but-isn't, but I'm gonna find a way to get the other two in my game somehow, since I kind of already started.  First try, my Litten was a female, and since I was wanting a female, I decided to roll with it!

I'm already on my way to my second Grand Trial. >w<

I got Rowlet, and the fact it ended up female from the start (man wouldn't some people die for that luck) thwarted my plan to name her Robinhoot. Can't pass up a girl starter though since those are pretty uncommon, so I stuck with her and named her Pinna - Latin for feathered arrow.

I got both Sun and Moon while I can still afford to do that before I have to pay that mortgage hahahahahahahahahhaah ;u; and for now I've started with Sun!

Fear is my trainer in that one, and I picked Popplio for her! He's a male I named Ramiro. c: So far my team has a Pikepik and a Rattata!

For Moon, I'll be using Negative as my trainer, but I don't know which starter to get... Although I'm heavily leaning towards Rowlet.

I wasn't big on the starters at first, but ugh, this game is just.... it's so... nice??? Does anyone else just get this... relaxed, happy feel/theme from this game?? I get it's inspired by Hawaii, which is a pretty popular spot for going on vacation and stuff, but IDK it's all just so... nice?? Ugh it's hard to explain but playing this game makes me feel happy. Even the people are nice in the game?? Like they're not entirely generic NPCs they all have this happy demeanor to them?

Also did anyone else squeal at that starter scene?? Holy crap. Holy. Crap.

Also how you can groom your Pokemon after battle because they can get dirty or get status conditions???

Ugh this game i can't handle it already ;u;
