LODGE NORTH posted:I had tried this, but PKHeX was giving a slew of issues regarding compatibility -- the error itself was explicitly telling me I couldn't do it since the generations didn't add up. Straight dragging from one to the error worked the same as disabling the check (to avoid the error) by just giving me a completely blank profile for the Pokemon. The biggest problem was that while the program itself can open any generation save, the Pokemon within that save are -- as far as I can tell -- devised to only be compatible with that generation's saves. So like, dragging a gen 8 Pokemon to a gen 8 save works well, but dragging a gen 4 Pokemon to a gen 8 save seemingly doesn't work. That's interesting! It could be that I transferred pokemon up (mostly) a single generation at a time. The only totally complete pokemon I've transferred up were specifically from Platinum straight to ORAS/XY, then after getting the ribbons there, onto USUM. I'm still in the process of getting pokemon up from USUM to SwSh, because I don't have a modded Switch and will be doing that with Bank, manually.

I did this move from Leaf Green, and the first 'mon I moved I was like "gently caress this sucks I don't want to have to do this for the rest of the box" but somewhere along the line I really started to somehow enjoy the mini game and actually wished I had more to move by the end of it.

Me: I finally caught a Sneasel, my team is complete. Ok, what's its movepool like? Serebii: Sneasel has one of the worst level up movepools in history. Luckily when it evolves to Weavile you can teach it Ice Shard via Heart Scale. And it learns Night Slash. Me: At what level? Serebii: 60. But in the interim you can use beat up. Me: No I can't. Moves that hit more than twice are the devil. What about Ice Punch/Icicle Crash? Serebii: What are your feelings about chain breeding...

first world problems: i had the codes for shiny celebi and that monkey pokemon in sitting around in my inbox because i didn't feel like pulling out my copy of sw and putting in the code bdsp finally got me into mucking around with that and pokemon home (i'd stopped playing when it came out so i guess i missed out on some special pokemon, which i didn't even realize was a thing?) so i decided that now was the time to use those codes and... it turns out i'd deleted that email at some point in the past three months.  i suppose i'm just out of luck, huh?

The codes only last so many months either way. So you might have run out of time, even if you still had them. I know that's not much of a consolation. But it's something to keep in mind for future events.

Shiroc posted:The Pokemon Center website has been having a line called 'Sitting Cuties' where $12 plush versions of every single Pokemon in a generation. They got up to Sinnoh today and like the previous three, almost everything sells out instantly because these are the only time 99% of the Pokemon will ever get an official plush. Its how I was able to get a cute Onix, which is a Pokemon I absolutely adore in spite of them being in everything. It just highlights how every Pokemon is somebody's favorite. I've never really gone and looked at that website before, but I just went and apparently they have never made a plush of the best pokemon, which is to say Scrafty? not impressed It sounds like the thread official verdict is that the remakes are officially OK, no? I guess I will buy

I am finding Shining Pearl to be extremely cute and fun and not some tiding me over filler. I never played the original Diamond and Pearl so it is also all as new as a mainline Pokemon ever is to me.

I stopped playing Pokemon after Diamond since all of my friends got too cool for it, and everyone online was in it competitively, and I knew nothing about that. I still bought Black and X, but never finished them. I tried playing Moon a few days ago and everything about it was unpleasant. Having to play it on a 3DS, every two seconds being a cutscene when you first start, the professor being like, almost purposefully annoying, and the visuals just seem cramped, but that might just be because it is a 3DS game. Ironically, it made me get into Sword and Shield, which I'm enjoying a whole lot. Maybe I'll get into competitive play later, but there's a lot of stuff to learn.

it’s a very nostalgic game with some modern QoL features (although i wish they had kept TRs). i know some people hate the chibi style, but i feel that they were a iconic look up to bw2 so returning to it in bdsp was a weldon’s change. i know my sister is not that super enthused about the camera in the newer games; she had to stop playing sun because some parts of the game made her motion sick.

The overworld artstyle works well enough when it's in the standard pokemon angle, but they really should never have had scenes where they zoom in on the chibi models, it looks really weird.

I don't dislike the chibi style, but it is a little weird to have this particular remake try to be as true to the original as possible when ORAS was trying to bring Ruby/Sapphire into X/Y-era quality. It's a little jarring in comparison and a little disappointing that there still isn't an edition of the game where every Pokemon (and/or forme thereof) is available all at once and probably won't happen until gen 9 (or at all)... but as a standalone title, in a vacuum, it's been a pretty good game so far. The QoL upgrades are good even if there's some rollback on QoL upgrades from current gens (again, in a vacuum here), and the graphics are exactly what they were trying to achieve, I think. The controls are still wonky as poo poo tho

As far as I'm concerned Legends takes the "remake" spot this gen for bringing back a region with remixed scenarios (in this case they are very very remixed to the point of being indistinguishable), while BDSP is more in the Let's Go category (except actually fun to play). I'm a lot less bothered with BDSP not changing as much thinking this way, and I've come to appreciate the games for what they are. They shouldn't have done individual fingers on the models though, that looks really creepy.
