I don't, actually. I think they serve being event pokemon very well, and with trading(assuming you have an active community), they're not unobtainable for those that just want the entry.

27 different entries is a lot.

if unowns were as rare as like, bagons are around here (seen 2 total since they were introduced), then sure i guess. instead, unowns are so rare that the last one anywhere in my area was spotted in loving january according to discord. and the discord channel covers an entire region of several towns and cities, not just one. that is not 'work'. that is 'if you want any real chance to actually get one of these come to one of our events'.

Unowns were fairly easy to get with scanners and impossible without. And the first Chicago pokefest I only got a half dozen, didn't even get all the letters available, because of how horrible the event ran. I'm fine with rarity existing for the generation that's being launched but after that poo poo should be common.

We're going to see the true ugliness of the game once gen4 hits. No scanners, horrible chance of getting what you want in eggs, it's gonna be people demanding obscene returns on trades for whatever it in 10km eggs and mega hard to get without running 9x incubators nonstop

Even back when scanners existed an unown only popped up around here once ever and it was still too far away for me to make it in time.

I do agree that they shouldn't be this insanely rare. Maybe on the level of bagon/beldum, stuff like that.

:psyduck: What made the event run horrible to you? Genuinely curious. It wasn't perfect and had its issues but everyone I know who went considered it a success. Were you one of the people who attributed to the statistic that the average amount walked was only 6km(~once round the park)? Did you only play for an hour? I'm confused. I got 55+ during the event(63 seen). These aren't like shinies, which are unique per player; if you played for any amount of time walking around Go Fest you should have gotten way more than a half dozen.

Well, he did say it was the first go fest, which was a disaster, and not the second one which you're presumably talking about

It will never happen because they could never be in eggs in the main series.

it's not just the name. it attaches itself to hosts, something ticks do and spiders do not.

the fact that it evolves into a tarantula doesn't really change things considering both are arachnids and there are pokrmon that evolve into things way less intuitive or closely related, like a pond skater that evolves into a lanternfly (?).

If I wanted to know "What is the cactus-lookin Pokemon called?" I would ask here and DEEP STATE PLOT would give me the complete history of the Pokemon, all it's evolutions, and pretty much anything a Pokedex would tell me. That's why it's good to interact with the community because they often have good (and sometimes funny) information or opinions about Pokemon. If I Google it, it would probably lead me to Bulbapedia, which would answer my question but in a very clinical way and I wouldn't get to read people's opinion of the cactus Pokemon. So. You know. Cactus Pokemon.

I only have one perfect IV Pokemon and it's a Venomoth. I'm fine with that though because I like Venomoths. I am bummed because on trading day, just to test it, I traded my Golbat named Munch Man to my wife and then found out I can't get him back. She promised she'll take care of him. She traded me a Slowpoke and I treat him like a king (gave him a Kings Rock and made him a Slowking).

Joltik is the tits, it's like an inch long and powered entirely by sass. Joltik will try to beat up an Onix if it looks at it the wrong way. I personally am not a big fan of most G5 designs (I have a lot to say on this topic) but Joltik sits up there with Mimikyu as Best Pokemon Friends Ever.

Anyway today I got a golden chicken nugget. Thankfully I'm most of the way towards getting 400 candy for her. I don't remember seeing Evolve A Swablu in the list of Celebi quests released but I'll hold off for a few weeks just in case...

Unless I've missed something, the only list of quests released was the ones at Go Fest, which I believe are different quests to what the rest of us will get when it's released on Monday.
