Oh no the shiny poipole event is over where I am...I won’t get back out to the mall until I go and buy Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee. That’s almost a month to wait. Sad I missed the event. Sad I can’t preorder the games (all cause I want Mew.) but happy to wait a bit longer.

[Faybell]

i have a few extra NA shiny poipole codes I obtained from gamestop yesterday. Feel free to pm me if you weren't able to get a code. They are free. If you want to give me something though I love getting random eggs (don't tell me what's in it)

Only works on NA consoles. If you have a console from Europe, Japan, etc. it won't work for you.
Edit: I ran out, sorry. >_<

New videos re. Meltan up!

Special Footage of Meltan Has Been Found!
Meltan Footage
Recently discovered video evidence of Meltan shows the Mythical Pokémon to be surprisingly expressive. Meltan loves metal objects and will slowly inch its way toward any that it finds. It's also very curious about its surroundings and seems to enjoy doing whatever it pleases!

This one is really cute, but also has something real interesting at the end...

Professor Oak and Professor Willow have been steadily working on their research, propelled by the reports of Ditto transforming into Meltan in Pokémon GO. It looks like they've also realized that the Mystery Box is somehow tied to the appearance of Meltan!

New Special Research quests will be coming to Pokémon GO that will let you embark on a search for the Mythical Pokémon Meltan. Look forward to this new Special Research this winter, when you can participate in various investigations with Professor Willow and catch Meltan!

There's info as to how Meltan will be obtainable, too!

The Mystery Box Holds the Key to Catching Meltan
We now know that Meltan appears in Pokémon GO. In order to catch Meltan, it is essential to have a Mystery Box, which can be received by sending Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!

Sending Pokémon from Pokémon GO into one of the Nintendo Switch titles will get you certain items in the app, such as Candies for the species of Pokémon you sent. However, the first time you send a Pokémon, you'll also be able to get a very special item: a Mystery Box!

The Mystery Box closes itself after it's used once. The only way to open it again is to wait a set amount of time, and then send another Pokémon to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! You can also get a Mystery Box for sending Pokémon to a friend's Nintendo Switch game, but you can only have one Mystery Box at a time!

Meltan will begin to appear once a Mystery Box is opened in Pokémon GO, but be careful—they'll only appear for the player that opened the Mystery Box. Touch a Meltan you see on the field map, and then try to catch it with a Poké Ball!

You can then bring the Meltan you catch in Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, where it can follow you around during your adventure in the Kanto region. Even if you don't catch Meltan in Pokémon GO yourself, you can ask a friend to send one that they've caught into your Nintendo Switch game.

Also there's a new Japanese trailer for Let's Go with various small bits, mostly a little bit of a look at previously shown locations and some Pokemon interactions

And in case you missed it, Gen 4 Pokemon are coming to Go! And sounds like some other QOL changes are being made re. CP, stats, weather effects, etc. There's a small video for this as well.

Hey guys, I've been hearing an interesting theory about let's go.

Some people think/hope they are going to eventually add other regions to it as DLC later on, kind of like how Pokémon go has been slowly adding other generations.

I don't think they will but it's fun to think about. Pokémon likes making games for the sake of making games. Plus I think that's something they would have advertised by now. I however think if it's popular enough they might make this a new series like Pokémon ranger and mystery dungeon.

Personally I would prefer it as DLC rather than a series.

- People have been wanting a game with every region so I feel this would be the perfect game to do it on if they were to ever do it. I don't think they would ever do it on a main game but let's go is close enough that I would be satisfied with it being on let's go.

- I might be a bit biased since gen 1 was my first games but I think Pikachu and Eevee are the best mascots (pikachu being the literal mascot of Pokémon and Eevee being one of the most popular in the series). Having other mascots for future games would feel weird to me. I guess they could add edition after the new tittles though (pikachu/Eevee lets go johto edition, etc.)

- this game is probably going to be based on the anime like yellow so going to a new region with only your partner (and their level being reset) I feel would tie in really nicely.

- I'd feel better about the 60$ Price tag even if each new DLC was 40+ dollars.

Well I’m freaking out. A few days ago I was at EB games and I preordered both games and the pokeball plus. $170 is a lot. Luckily the games come out after my birthday. I have enough to buy it now so I should have quite a bit after my birthday. I’m not getting anything but money so yeah. I’m trying to get my mom into playing Let’s Go with me. I mean two people can play and my parents have never played video games.

Meltan's evolution has been officially announced!

Meet Melmetal, Meltan’s Evolved Form
We have now discovered that Meltan can evolve. Its Evolution is called Melmetal! This is the first Mythical Pokémon with the ability to evolve.

Name
Melmetal
Category
Hex Nut Pokémon
Type
Steel
Height
8'02"
Weight
1,763.7 lbs.
This is the first time that Melmetal has been seen in 3,000 years! In ancient times, this Pokémon was worshiped for its power to create metal.

When Meltan evolves into Melmetal, it grows vastly stronger than before. Its body hardens as a result of its Evolution, and it becomes incredibly sturdy.

The bulk of its body is made of liquid metal. Its arms in particular are very flexible, and they can whip forward to deliver devastating punches.

Melmetal’s Powerful Double Iron Bash
Melmetal possesses a unique Steel-type physical move called Double Iron Bash. With this powerful move, Melmetal uses the hex nut in its chest like an axle to spin its powerful arms around, dealing a double strike to the opponent. The weight of the heavy hex nuts on its arms combined with this spinning motion give this move extraordinary power. After it hits, it may even make the target flinch!

Evolving Meltan into Melmetal

It has become clear that Meltan will only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO. To evolve it, you will need 400 Meltan Candies.

Just as with the Candies you collect for other Pokémon, you’ll be able to get Meltan Candies by doing things like catching Meltan, sending it to Professor Willow, or having Meltan travel around with you as your Buddy Pokémon.

You’ll also get these Candies when you send Meltan from Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! Plus, you’ll also be able to use some other handy shortcuts to speed up this Evolution, such as getting more Meltan Candies by trading with friends or using Rare Candies to help you along the way.

You can bring Melmetal you’ve evolved in Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! You can also have friends send them to you from their Pokémon GO accounts. Have fun exploring the Kanto region together with Melmetal!

[Ember1989]

Lol I bet it will be impossible for me to get Meltang. Mom plays Pokémon go and I’m gonna play let’s go. And even if I did get one for let’s go, I don’t want to evolve a cute little guy like that.

Happy Halloween guys!

The Pokémon company uploaded a Let's go video show casing lavender town:

Oh happy early birthday.

In your game they do a thing for it in the Pokémon center... lol I know about it and it still catches me off guard sometimes. I thought my game was bugged when it went dark.

[Feral Fangs]

Happy Halloween to all, and to all a good fright!
(Kudos to anyone who gets the reference)

Also, happy early birthday Ember
