I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Every generation has its good designs and ideas and every generation has bad designs and ideas. It isn't really fair to lump them all by generation.

This "minigame" is about as underwhelming as a real sea cucumber, but 20000 Poke-bucks ain't bad.

It is a bit unusual that you're given that high an amount for something so simple. Does this mean that you're not able to re-battle trainers on routes? Many of the later games that don't have this option have alternate ways of making cash. Gen 5 had all that vendor trash that could be sold for absurd prices to the right NPCs who are willing to buy them. Is this Gen 7's solution?

It'd be better with an animation of you punting the Pyukus into the sea.

Well, given that customization is back, there's probably lots of clothes to buy and such.

Either that or Alola is going through some severe inflation.

Dunno why this had to be showcased in a video and a black screen is really underwhelming. :effort:

Mega Ampharos is extremely good.

my laptop background is still the Mega Ampharos wallpaper that I downloaded in the run-up to X&Y's release. I see no reason to ever change it.

just pretend heatran evolves from magcargo and it changed rock to steel, just like how steelix evolves from onyx.

I still pretend it evolves into Torkoal. It just feels right since it does everything the slag-sail does better.

I would have liked an actual minigame where you slide your finger back to try to aim them into a target. Basically horseshoes.

It could take the role of the Battle Chateau as a quick money maker.

No. Mainly that it sticks and tries return to its favorite spot no matter what, even if it means it'll starve to death. They're chucked back into the ocean so they can get some food, and because tourists find them ugly.

Being almost useless is kind of Farfetch'd's main shtick (or stick as it were).

What will you do with the child that picks the Pikachu toy, and tosses a blanket over it so now you have a Mimikyu toy?

I used my pal Dux for the first 4 gyms in X before I ended up benching him and he did very good for those 4 gyms. And he was cool and I loved him, so I think Farfetch'd is a good powerful friend.

Just make Farfetch'd your designated Flyer. That way he'll always be your friend even all the way through the postgame.
