My man Alola Oak.

Wonder if any other characters will get Alolan variants.

Hopefully Eevee can use it too along with a leaf stone now so Gamefreak doesn't have to keep putting in those ice and moss rock areas.

Go the whole way. Dusk stone for Umbreon, Dawn Stone for Espeon, Shiny Stone for Sylveon.

I'm still bummed out with Game Freak having the perfect set up with Porygon Z and squandering it in Gen 6 by having no Porygon X and Porygon Y.

This is the single most easy option, but if you don't have access to ORAS, the three star cafe in Lumiose is the best place in Kalos.

Grab a decent Lv 100 dude, enter the rotation battle with Exp power and go from there.

Alternatively, implement a hard mode, but have any starter you get in hard mode have it's Hidden Ability.

Hmm. Looks like I need to track down a reckless starly/avia/aptor.

I wish there was an easier way to track it down than horde battles.

After breeding some pokemon with potentially decent shinies like Froakie, Machop and Beldum and getting nothing, a shiny Starly popped out.

It was modest with the wrong ability and trash IVs.

I'm super bummed they made yet another Grass starter sort of poo poo.

I don't get why they'd write about how fast it is in it's info blurb on the official site and then give it lackluster speed ingame. Game Freak continues to make no sense.

Will probably still use it in the campaign though.

What do you mean?

Along with the stats and the moves and stuff, the entirety of the games dialog has been dumped.

It is of course stupid long, so no one in their right mind would read all of it, but if you search with words you can find some interesting stuff.

Also, I was wrong.

Crobat got +10 Attack, +10 HP and Merciless as a HA.

Crobat is uh, pretty good now!

Man, combined with it's ridiculous speed and Leech Life buff, Friendship Bat is powerful as gently caress now.

Oh I meant what was interesting cause I am too lazy to go through all of it.

It's taking a while to get through it, so not a whole lot as of yet.

Seems you can trade shards for bottle caps, and maybe rarely fish them up somehow?

Strange Souvenir is in the game, but seems to be as useless as ever from what i've read.

Saw how the Zygarde Cube works too, it's kind of strange.

Wow. They've got quite the story for Looker and why there wasn't a battle frontier in ORAS. womholes

So they are doubling down on the stuff they put forth in Delta Episode then, cool.

Dancing birds can change between the forms with use of certain items. I assumed they stayed the specific form you catch them in, so that's cool.

Edit: It doesn't seem that that Unova E4 member cameo is related to whatever is up with Looker.

Honestly, between this and literally throwing the mouse for great damage, Pikachu did well this generation. Raichu even got thrown a nice bone this time.

Good times all around for the mascot line.

I feel like the low pokemon count on the trainers is some sort of countermeasure against the fact that if you try to catch almost anything it will do the best it can to call its entire extended family and its long arse list of friends into battle before it will give you a chance to throw a ball at it.

# ¿ Nov 18, 2016 14:49

Crawfish: Dec 11, 2012

I have found wild Ditto, but it has lead to the darkest of lariat situations.

Edit: This route sucks for catching anything. The other things on this route I can catch is something with self destruct and Beldum.

Edit 2: Beldum can call for help. gently caress my life.

Yeah, but I want to catch all these things. Got a Minior and a Beldum in a pokeball.

Just need to catch 2 Ditto and I can make progress.

I've been fighting this Wishiwashi for like 20 minutes what the actual hell is going on.

Someone said they can't call for help if you give them a status effect but this thing keeps calling for help even though it's asleep

If it's the one i'm thinking about, it's like the one pokemon given a 90% SOS rate.

Just kill the encounter and grab a Wishiwashi later.

Geez that Clefable.

If I hadn't got a lucky friendship crit with Decidueye it could have easily walled my team to death.

# ¿ Nov 20, 2016 12:23

Crawfish: Dec 11, 2012

Yeah, that battle was fairly harsh. I got Metronome Blue Flare'd on, then in the turn it took to figure out that special attacks weren't going to work on it it threw up a cosmic power.

Threw up another in the switch and at that point it could moonlight away more damage than I could put on it. If I hadn't have gotten a lucky crit with Decidueye, that fight's first pokemon would have effectively shut down my whole team.

Slapping mons is definitely still in SuMo.

If the slapping motion doesn't trigger it any more, poking definitely does.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:

To be fair you can literally have 10 Zygardes so it's not that big of a deal to trade him out, especially since most people will not bother to collect all 100 cores to make him the final form. Are you even allowed to use him online/in battle tree?

As for UBs you get 4 copies of some of them as part of the story so nobody's gonna miss their lowest stat lovely nature pheromosa

Edit: Wait when pokebank opens can we transfer the old "50%" zygarde and get a complete one with only 50 cores? Because I'm never collecting 100

You can breed some castforms now, GTS them for Zygarde and convert whatever isn't already an amalgamation of 100 cells into the spare cells you need to make your own 100 cell Zygarde.

Like, I collected the 100 cells in my copy of Sun, and then did the GTS thing to get a second 100 cell one to get a Dog form one.

Just make sure you track down the 5 or 6 cores that act as move tutors for Zygarde.

Oh cool. Shaymin and Hoopa don't revert when placed in PC's anymore.

Also Furfrou doesn't either. Which finally makes the hair cuts not 100% useless.

False alarm on the Shaymin/Hoopa/Furfrou thing. They stay in that form in the box, but revert back when you bank them.

I didn't bother trying Battle Royal until now and good lord is it some bull poo poo.

My Max IV, Max EV Adamant Infernape using a Iron Fist boosted Thunder Punch could not even do 1/3rd of an opposing Vaporeon, which had no hold item that would affect it, had no ability holding it back, and having Infernape be the first move of the turn.

Like it has all the normal bullshit you'd expect from a battle facility, but i'm not sure how it's calculating things to so heavily gently caress me over like this case.

God drat they better cut out the dynamic camera angle bullshit for battles next game.

After ending a fruitless 400+ chain of Rockruffs, I decided to start chaining Bagon to try and get a low level Salamence. About 30 Bagon in i'm doing internet stuff and checking in on FE Heroes. I check back in on the chain, and give it a good 30 seconds to make sure I'm not going to kill anything shiny and make an attack.

Camera angle shifts to an actually useful view of the battle as it shows me killing off a shiny Bagon. So it spent 30 seconds giving me stupid zooms and swirls on my trainer, my pokemon and the left opposing pokemon, never showing me the one on the right.

Thankfully shiny Bagon is not anything I really care about, so it isn't as big a loss as if it were a Rockruff or a Mimikyu or anything else i've put decent time into, but it annoys me that it could have been avoided if the camera just stayed focused on the important parts of the battle instead of the stupid other fluff it homes in on.
