they did one this year with mcdonalds. hoopa maybe

Which is what I was referencing. It wasn't actually anything physical at the McDonalds that was distributing the Hoopa, it was still on nintendo's server. It's just that Nintendo's servers checked to see if the SSID you were connecting from matched their database of McDonalds before they gave you a Hoopa. If you changed your local Wifi to mach a McDonalds one you could get the Hoopa.

Where as the old-style "Go into the store with your 3ds and download it" distributions had infinite quantity as long as you went there in the usually generous timeframe. The current distributions are both time limited and demand limited, stores only get a certain number of cards and sometimes they run out by the second day, and I'm not going to make a 2 hour round trip on a "maybe".

Yeah, it looks like it.

Along with Zygarde having a cell forme you hunt down the bits for, I have a feeling you get the Legendary prevos fairly early and part of the plot is powering them up to help take out some UBs.

Especially since the island Guardians are getting their rear end kicked in cutscenes by UBs.

Particularly since there's a new pokeball that seems to be related to the UBs that also looks sorta like what might be Solgaleo's pre-evo.

More pokegen feat. the world's cutest Chancey. I like what they've done with the pokemon noises in this series, I really do.

I'm disappointed they didn't go for an easy "Normal isn't affected by Ghost moves" joke. But I agree on the pokemon noises, it's easier to understand the intended emotion when they aren't just saying the same three syllables in different cadences.


SpaceDrake posted:

When people complain about the English VO, part of it is the translation of the script itself. There were a few points I was like "well, it's perhaps not inaccurate to the Japanese, but..." and ofc it also has that age old chestnut of the animation and lip-flaps being built for Japanese and the English VO needs to struggle around that.

ADR has advanced enough that it's relatively simple to modify lip flaps, particularly for dialog scenes. In dynamic scenes it usually doesn't matter.

Where would you put the 100 points on Mega Staraptor though? SPATK would be pointless, and boosting his attack any higher than it is would be pretty ridiculous. As much as I'd love to see something dumb like an Aerialate Return on a mega staraptor.

Remember that mega evolutions lose their item, so if they're not gaining a big offensive ability they need those huge stat gains just to keep their attacks from getting weaker. And Staraptor already has an ability to power up its most common attacks--if you gave it Aerialate you could just straight up dump +100 Attack on it and Return still wouldn't hit as hard as Reckless Choice Band Brave Bird on regular Staraptor.

I like megas that explore new niches, too, so you could do something like +50 Attack/+50 Defense with Intimidate (allowing for double Intimidate shenanigans), play up the tankiness of an Intimidate mon with Roost that still hits hard enough to scare things off.

Eh, Not everything needs to be "but how will this play in doubles." Sometimes it's nice to just have a 'mon that's good for casually playing through the game.

All the neat dudes I decided to use in SuMo are so ludicrously slow and evolve so late, I'm just glad that the berry farm has given me more sitrus berries than I know what to do with.
