Image


Alola!

Let's play a Pokémon game together as a forum!


What games are we playing?

The games we will be playing together will be Sun and Moon, or Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon! If you have an extra copy of any of these, or you want to restart yours for a new adventure, join with us together and play!


When is this happening?

We will have sign-ups until April 26th, and starting April 27th, we will all begin our games! After that, we will likely do weekly updates, so every Saturday, try to post where you are in the games! Each week we will post goal for us to attain, which will be in the next post.


How do I join?

Simply reply to this topic and fill out this form to enter:

Code: Select all

Username: 
In-game name:

Willing to do Wi-Fi battles or trades:
Once you post this info, I'll update the post here to include everyone's name that has entered!


What else should we post here?

This thread will be used to post your progress of your game, your team, and any various other things you want to chat about related to the play-through! You can also use this thread for any questions about the games you might have.


Wanna Wi-Fi battle or trade?

If you said that you would like to do Wi-Fi battling or trading in your sign-up form, feel free to ask other users here if they want to trade or battle you! You can edit your Friend Code on your profile by going to your User Control Panel.


One last thing...

As some of you have likely already played these games, you are more than welcome to try out an in-game challenge of any sort (for example, a Nuzlocke or a mono-type team run) to spice up your play-through! The only limit is your imagination!

Let's play!

Thanks you guys! You've been added to the Participants list, and I'll update the progress section once we start on Saturday! I also added my own info there. I don't know yet what kind of challenge I'll do during this game, but I'm open to suggestions! :D

If you happen to want to join after we've started, that's ok too! We will go at a pace that allows us to complete the games over a period of time that is manageable for all varying players. :)

Let's begin!

For week 1: Let's get our starters, and make our way though Captain Ilima's trial! See you once you get through Verdant Cavern! Try to complete this area before Saturday, May 4th!

Feel free to share any updates you have, including what Pokémon you've caught and any struggles you might have along the way!

I'm going to try to make use of the Island Scan feature, as well as limit myself to only using Yellow Pokémon, as listed in the Pokédex! This should allow for a unique set of Pokemon to use!

After some time playing now I have chosen Rowlet as a starter, I do not think I will use him although I have affectionately named him Gerald! I have a few Pokémon in mind to play through with!

A few observations:
-It is apparently normal to wake up casually for a sunrise and just hang out with your cousin.
-I love how your mom tells you to go check who is at the door and before you even got to the door Kukui is just in your house chillin, but I love the continuity when she makes a joke about it the next day.
-I love when Kukui says "Pretend you are a pokémon and use your agility!"
-I wish saving Nebby was more intense, even though I have played Moon I felt this way when I played that too, and I am sure others feel the same way.
-I love the sky transformations of day and night in this game and can not wait to Mantine surf because it is so pretty during the sunrise and sunset.

Since I haven't had a lot of time to play and it looks like you guys haven't either, let's extend this for another week for the same goal!

My updates:
- I caught a Pichu, which I named Banana. It's so cute!
- I've gotten my Pokédex and am currently in the Trainer School.
- I'm planning to catch a Cutiefly when I get to the next route, and I want to catch a Cyndaquil on Sunday using Island Scan!

I wish you luck in y'all's playthroughs! I haven't finished cleaning out the stuff I needed to salvage from Pokemon Ultra Sun but I should be done by the end of the week and I'm a fast player and diligent so I should be able to reach the goal at the end of the week as well.

Hopefully you've all succeeded in Ilima's trial and got your Normalium Z!

Next up, we'll be aiming for the Melemele Island Grand Trial! Update us here as you progress! Let's aim for May 18th!

My updates:
I now have these Pokémon on my team!
  • Banana (Pichu) - Level 14
  • Mighty Mak (Makuhita) - Level 15
  • Theo (Cyndaquil) - Level 13
  • Nectarine (Cutiefly) - Level 10


I unfortunately cannot evolve Makuhita, since Hariyama is in the Brown color group, but the others I can use throughout the game if I want! I also realized I could catch a Wingull and just Exp. Share it until it evolves into Pelipper. Maybe I'll do that until I can catch more Yellows. Drowzee is my next catch to get!
