Trading Vulpix for a Bulbasaur? What are you? MAD?!?

And here I am feeling sorry for Mewtwo getting into the mother of all pokemon orgies--AW NUTS I FORGOT WHAT WEBSITE THIS IS D:

Mewtwo is OP, Nerf nao.

But yeah, freakin' trading a Vulpix for Bulbasaur, that's crazy man. Everyone and their brother has a fire-type. Unless it was a Shiny Vulpix, which it wasn't.

All I'm gonna say is Puerto Rico is going to be THE place to be trading Water-types in.

...the jokes is we're in a drought :V


...also, maybe it's like a...dumb, localized Wonder Trade?

No clue. Maybe. Hopefully Nintendo tells us how it works. I need me an Absol.

Seems like a mostly GPS-driven game like Ingress, but with the Pogeymans instead of glowing dots. The trading and battling probably works by polling local networks for other people near you actively playing at the time, like a number of other mobile games with co-op do.

Of course, the real make-or-break question: How much is going to be tied up in the inevitable cash shop? Because if Nintendo tries to tell me I have to pay 99 cents to get another Pokeball or a healing item, or else wait a full day to play again, then ahhhhnothankyougoodbye.

From my understanding, according to the press conference:

-It is, indeed, inspired heavily by Ingress -- in fact, it's a collab of sorts with its creators.

-The app itself is free with microtransactions, no idea how much the Plus will be yet. Looks to be customizable how you wear it, not unlike how people carry their pokeballs, badges and mega stones in different ways in the games/show/manga

-CONFIRMED TO HAVE COMPATIBILITY WITH FUTURE MAIN GAMES IN SOME WAY, which is both exciting as it confirms they're not giving up on the main games plus those with Go might get a special something or other.

-Go was one of the last Pokemon-themed projects that Iwata was involved in before his passing :<

..... ........ *sneaks away*

Hmm.. This...I dunno what to Think.

My phone shall be mighty! I will hunt nidoran!
