The hacked Pokemon trade is well-known as being the prime money-maker for the yakuza so the dude is lucky that a crazy one-eyed guy with a tanto didn't show up at his house to kick his rear end.

how is there even a market for illegal pokémon Aren't there like three different websites where you can just plug in what you want and they'll hack you one up within 15 minutes?

Strikes me as weird because I got gobs of hacked shinies just by wonder trading for free. Granted most had stupid nicknames which relegated them to being pokedex fodder on GTS but I digress.

Okay speaking of I get constant obviously hacked Pokemon from Surprise Trade but today I got one I'm not sure about? It's a shiny Thundurus but it has two hyper trained IVs. It's from Unova and has Hidden Power. It's in a Pokeball though.

It could be legit, I would imagine it's been duplicated in an older game perhaps. Also there are probably lots of people who just wonder trade out perfectly good pokemon just for fun, maybe on a stream or something. Possibly some sort of challenge run too.

Always be suspicious of shiny Legendaries, particularly roamers, but hyper trained IVs and nothing else actually sounds legit.

I went on an adventure week thing in secondary school and managed to run out of spending money on the third day, so I manufactured a bunch of Mews with legit distribution OT names and numbers with this bad boy, and made a small fortune* selling them to kids from other schools. Come and get me, pigs.  * Something like £8

Oaks lab has started sometimes marking perfect IVs as hyper trained instead so it's not a surefire indicator of legitimacy

You can also get breedjects. People dump a lot of breedjects en-masse. My Golisopod on my Ultra Moon team came as a level 1 wimpod with aqua jet and 5 perfect IV's. I not a breeder but even I've dumped a dozen hatchlings with nifty egg moves or HA's after I picked the one that had what I wanted.

Is there anything worthwhile for completing the DLC pokedexes? I just finished the Dynamax adventures, collected all the digletts, and am looking for something else to do. Also-- how quickly from the beginning of the game can I access the Crown Tundra? I'll need to do it again for Glastrier and Regieleki.

I believe both DLC areas can be accessed the moment you reach the first Wild Area (though I’m not sure if Crown Tundra scales to your current level the way the Isle of Armor does).

From what I've heard, Crown Tundra's Pokemon aren't scaled and they're all at 60 and above. Peony challenges you and his team is also similarly strong. Luckly you don't need to win to progress and you can access the Max Lair as soon as possible after battling him.

Playing Crown Tundra finally and goddamn I forgot how much I hate that repels basically don't do anything now. No (lower level than your lead pokemon) encounters should mean no encounters, not 'oops you ran into the pokemon before it could get out of your way so gently caress you, you have to deal with it anyway.' It was managable through most of the game because of how the routes are constructed, but the Tundra makes trying to avoid Pokemon incredibly aggrevating because of the twisty layouts & how hard it is to avoid the areas Pokemon pop up in. The Sharpedos in Isle of Armor were annoying too, but at least those were restricted to the water. I don't give a flying gently caress if Pokemon show up on the overworld or not, but I hope that the next gen makes repels useful again. I spent gens 1-7 having them on basically 24/7 after the first badge & I doubt I'd have enjoyed any of them as much if I had to gently caress around with wild enounters all the time. Busywork random encounters are why I could never get into most JRPGs.

You can go to the Crown Tundra as soon as trains open up, but everything is level 60+ regardless of game progress. You can, however, lose the first Peony battle and carry on, and the Max Lair lets you catch level 65-70 pokémon using rentals. Yes, you can catch Kyogre or whatever before challenging the first gym.

It’s been said before but thanks to the Raid Battles (and even more so now with the Max Raids), SwSh is probably the easiest Pokémon game to break over your knee since the original Game Boy games (and from pretty early on too).

I assume that the main campaign is very easy this time because they wanted players to get fully ready for the pvp section. Also since you've paid an additional $30 for the DLC, they probably wanted to make it worth your while, hence the ability to create Gigantamax Pokemon yourself, the ability to find and craft Battle Tower items like Bottle Caps and Mints, and all the Legendary Pokemon in the Crown Tundra.

Wide guard is pretty funny in raids against these flygons with Swift / Boomburst / Breaking Swipe / Earthquake. Well, it's about as funny as sitting through 50+ individual "wide guard protected ____'s ____." dialogues.

What's been the most replayable Pokemon? I rarely replay Pokemon games after I'm 'done' with them, but lately I've actually gotten the urge to replay either HGSS or ORAS. The former because I enjoyed it, the latter because I wanted to give it a second go since my first run through it was 'okay, but I'm not hooked despite loving Team Aqua's redesign'. I'd replay Platinum but I think I gave my cartridge away forever ago.

the newer games have way better pokemon variety and the desperately-needed quality of life that we never had back in the day, but the sheer quantity of cutscenes and overall linearity kinda hurts their replayability. hg/ss has the issue of being in the worst pokemon region, which is kind of a death sentence to their replay potential despite how great a lot of the other stuff in them is. oras kind of does a reverse-hgss where they take a really well-designed and structured region that had some teething issues and absolutely clubbed it to death trying to make it linear and plot-focused.

ApplesandOranges posted:What's been the most replayable Pokemon? I've replayed every game at least once, with the exception of Ultra Sun and Moon. The originals, for me, were the most replayable. I had a scruffy yellow legal pad where I mapped out the 25 potential teams I could have that used every Pokemon at least once. I'd say I got more than halfway there. And almost failed eighth grade because the game had huge hooks in me. I played so much that I once triggered a strange arbitrary code execution completely by accident. I distinctly remember fighting one of the gamblers in the fields east of Saffron City and at the end of the battle my Pikachu (who had not participated in the battle at all) evolved into Raichu. I didn't even have a Thunderstone in my inventory. I scoured the internet for an explanation but it wasn't until years later that I saw the Mew glitch done for the first time that I realized the sort of backdoor shenanigans that can happen with those old gameboy games. e: backdoor shenanigans is, incidentally, the reason I would almost fail Junior year

In anime news I guess the dub of the current series is getting cancelled prematurely: https://www.cbr.com/pokemon-journeys-final-episodes-release-date-announced/ As far as I’m aware the only version of this season that’s on Netflix in the US is the dub and that’s still a decent ways behind the Japanese original, not sure what else this could mean since there hasn’t been any major new game announced yet and it seems too soon for the series to be ending.
