Holla!

Just looking at how many main games there have been for a system, the DS had the most with 9 and the 3DS is just 1 shy of it with 8. Would've gotten a record of 10 had those unused Gen VI games happened (I'm not counting the VC games btw).

As of commit 1782827, the Rosalina menu hotkey has been fixed and the devs themselves said they won't make it optional as stated on the Luma github: "This feature was rejected because several key features and programs now rely on Rosalina to function properly, namely, the Homebrew Menu." I've safely disabled it by doing the following steps: 1. Put the boot.firm of the commit mentioned above or a higher version/stable on your SD Card's root and CTRNAND via GodMode9 or FBI 2. Put your SD Card back in your 3DS and set up your Luma settings if it boots you to the menu 3. Press the default hotkey combo (in this case L+D-Pad down+Select) then go to "Miscellaneous Options" and "Save Settings" 4. Power off your 3DS and put the SD Card back into your computer 5. Download any Hex Editor (such as HxD) if you don't have one and start it. 6. In the hex editing program click File then Open and navigate to SD:/luma/config.bin and open the file 7. Go to offset 1D and edit the byte to FF as shown in this image here: 8. File>Save or just simply Ctrl+S! Done! You can now move the newly changed config.bin to your 3DS SYSNAND via GodMode9 or FBI under CTRNAND/rw/luma and won't be able to boot Rosalina anymore unless you change the byte again or you delete the config file. I needed to disable this for young kids I'm setting this up for next week and this is currently the only way I can confirm works. It won't "hide" your usage of CFW like the Kecleon3DS patch did since there's no way to disable the Luma boot menu that I know of. But hopefully someone can make something like that again, would be nice for the reason I've stated.

If that's the case then I'd like to know if non-Japanese 3DS units and copies can download it. I'm aware that currently all known local distributions have been Region-Free, however, I'd still like to know for the sake of legality issues as I mentioned. So if anyone who lives or is visiting Japan and has an out of region 3DS/Region changed 3DS that is able to get it, let us all know!

I honestly think they'll take a year off.

But will it be bundled in the .wc7 data is my question.

Shocked that they didn't reveal any new info in Corocoro or the Spotlight, and it's just irony that they only now announce a new main game for the Switch that won't be seen until likely Late 2019, possibly did that due to the backlash about no main game for Switch last Direct, but that just really overshadows these games. lol

But what about it is special, is it just the aesthetic or will it have a different Z-Move?

It's not a bad thing if it's local wireless, I mean we have some users who've contributed local event there and the fact it's the debut of a new and currently unobtainable Pokemon, we should get it around release. Just wondering about Marshadium Z being bundled as I mentioned like 10 posts above, though.

Corocoro confirmed via Serebii!

@theSLAYER There was an ORAS leak as well? I've never heard of one, unless you're talking about the Demo datamine?

Leaks have a high chance, especially for a highly anticipated title like Pokemon. And banwaves are 100% happening again, so even if you turn off data sharing to Nintendo, you'll most likely still get banned as long as you used in-game online features before November 17. Since USUM are indeed coming simultaneously worldwide without exceptions, I feel the chance of getting it early is more likely. Here's the code for compatibility with Gen VII 7 GB placeholders RGBYGSC... so I feel like Crystal is coming, but GF decided not to coincide it with GS, mainly because It would overshadow sales of its predecessors, or maybe it has something to do with an in-game event for Celebi exclusive to it? I dunno, probably the former. It was 10-11 days prior to the 18th. I clearly remember the US elections craze going on as well as the Moon leak happening via a vp user who also teased his game screenshots. Sun followed in a few days, dunno when though.

I've been wondering how they'll handle Z-Crystals; specifically event ones. With nearly all of them being released for Japan so far with Marshadium left, I have to wonder if they might have a sync feature where you can get those Crystals you collected in SM, or they could just put them in-game OR maybe just re-release them as events again.

Heh, Lana and the fat Rugrat looking kid aren't getting their Pokemon distributed.

Nah, I honestly never used lumaupdater and this is my first time using the builds just for this issue. Are you or anyone else here able to get it to save and if so what commit are you using? Mine is a16d1eb.

Really? I thought this was it: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/commit/31f4419eec0705a131c98f74ebd23001d2275e1d

Does anyone have trouble with the button config? I even used latest nightlies but it still doesn't save my config.

I have a feeling Gyms may make a return in these games as there are plots of space under construction, and there are 8 as seen here. Another thing is using your cover legendary in Sun/Moon, you were able to travel into the dimension opposite of your game. So maybe we'll be able to travel back to the currently know Alola regions as post game or a Memory Link type event? But I doubt they'd do that.

What's made me curious is how the storyline will work and if Lillie would be the villain as a plot-twist but I doubt that lol. Guess we'll have to wait for the Corocoro leak and Nintendo's E3 presentation on the horizon to see more. Hopefully they don't unintentionally reveal too much that can be easily speculated on so it can be found out in the games ourselves.

Even though I played Sun first I think Lunalacrozma is more nicer, so I might just go with UM this time until further exclusives are announced. I honestly hope there are new Pokemon/formes or let alone new features, Sun/Moon were stale tbh, but that's the first paired games of a gen for ya. Also, doesn't Ash have a Rockruff in the anime that people speculated to evolve into said forme?

@theSLAYER Didn't the recent Mega stone distribution for Manectric, Tyranitar and Abomasnow happen since yesterday?

God the amount of delusional people salty about it not being D/P remakes or it being on Switch I've seen on other forums is absurd, but in the end they'll still play it. I mean if they were to release it (simultaneously) on Switch, it'd be a mess considering it has different specs and GF is hesitant about putting main Pokemon games on it. Even though it's on a system that's hacked to the bone, the 3DS still has a large install base and with the cheaper N2DS, it's gonna get a slight boost. Some people I know still can't find a Switch and even where I live it's $399 with big games being around $80. But anyways I'm excited to hear about if walking Pokemon will be used, and I also hope that they have better PSS like features, Festival Plaza is complete trash in SM. Oh and let's not forget a Frontier/PWT type event!

I'm pretty sure GF will release their trade event Celebi seeing as they did for Mew with locked IVs.

My thoughts exactly. I think they learned from the RGBY VC launch that putting out the enhanced game would overshadow its original pairs.

I honestly question people who claimed that they've never tampered their 3DS and got a ban. I also feel like a PGL banwave is around the corner, too. What CFW settings do you guys have enabled in Luma/whatever you use? And were you banned?
