You can only evolve Meltan in Go so...

You get a melmetal in home from transferring something from go to home. So just transfer a Meltan and receive a g Max melmetal for free. No need to farm 400 go candy

So, you know how Crown Tundra lets you get legendaries in your trainer ID, and you can do it at any level?

Can someone explain this? How do I get a legendary based on my Trainer ID?

Don't remember where I read it but in my head it's December 11th, so probably Friday, yeah

I am signed up and have the box checked but looking through my email history I never get emails from them so I don't think I'll get this one either

I'm in the same boat as you. I guess we're not important enough.

I'm amazed at the level of attention you guys pay to the story of a Pokemon game. I rarely retain the story/characters because I only want to catch cool things and win battles.

apparently both BDSP and Legends have physical preorder bonuses when you get them from pokemon center, which means I'm contractually obliged to do so. I need the tiny plushies, they sustain me

Thank you for this info. Preordered both because I'm also addicted to free things.

So if I'm reading this right, if I go to Gamestop today and get a code it will do me no good since I only have Sword?

The Pok�mon Sword & Shield Shiny Zacian and Shiny Zamazenta event is live worldwide. This event will allow for you to get a Serial Code to receive a Shiny Zamazenta in Pok�mon Sword or a Shiny Zacian in Pok�mon Shield. This event runs in different times at different locations, with some only offering Zacian at present.

Mega evos, Z-moves, dynamax and the like all suck. If you want to refresh or buff a pokemon line, just give them an evolution (Pinsir, Heracross).

Hey, before y'all move on to the next game, can you please check your copy of SwSh if you happen to have a Arrokuda or Barraskewda with the ability Propeller Tail? If you do please breed a copy for me or let me borrow it to do it myself. And let me know what you'd like in return.

I don't have one but thank you for letting me know about an ability I've never heard of

Honestly, give me main games that have new, interesting ideas and directions with tight, focused rosters, then let Home be the hub for having all your Pokemon in a single place. Give it Anything Goes online battles, Pokemon Stadium style minigames, and an Amie feature, and boom. Now no mon is truly left behind.

That might be more resource intensive than they'd like, though.

What the gently caress is with these avatars?

I always thought of it as ghosts being actually really weak so beings that can fight them outright are super effective. Like a ghost can't hide from another ghost and it's being of dark energy.
(It's actually because they needed game play balance)

It's actually because ghosts are scared of the dark.

This is how I remember ghost is weak to dark.

If I wanted a straightforward romhack of FRLG with:

1. The special/physical split
2. All 151 (or more is fine) catchable/no trade evos
3 Increased difficulty
4. Increased speed

What should I be looking for?

I've enjoyed my time with Gaia and it hits your criteria I believe.

I have some kind of defect where I genuinely can't tell when music is good, and it seems completely random whether I like or even remember a song. I've heard "tin ear" before but that's usually for people who can't identify music notes and pitches, whatever i have seems worse than that

I know pokemon has good songs and people talk about them all the time, but literally the only music I can remember is the title screen, battle music, and pokemon center music from RGB

so I 100% agree with the user who says they're good podcast games. pity me.

I agree with everything in this post and likely suffer from the same malady you have.

Twelve by Pies posted:

Since the DBZ Pokemon game didn't work I tried another fan game someone suggested on Discord, Pokemon Gaia, and it's pretty neat so far! Completely original region, a little bit of new music, no fan Pokemon but it does have Pokemon up to at Gen VI.

Lots of Pokemon variety too. Not quite X/Y level but there's a lot. The first route you travel on between the first and second town has Budew, Hoppip, Bunnelby, Taillow, Bidoof and Zigzagoon. There's a small area under the second town where there's Purrloin, Glameow, Marill, Lotad, Pidgey and Buneary. So lots of choices already this early into the game. Good QoL stuff too like having the physical/special split even though it's running on a Gen 3 game, you get Running Shoes immediately at the start and can use them indoors, Mega Evolutions, color coding numbers for nature stat changes, exp when you catch a Pokemon, infinite use TMs, and even an NPC who will put your starter in a Premier Ball for you if you want (but only the starter).

It also gives you a really good idea of what your IVs are. On the stat screen, next to the stat there's a letter grade. For example, my Marill has the following grades: HP (S), Attack (A), Defense (B-), Special Attack (S), Special Defense (B), and Speed (A+). The lowest is probably E- (I base this on the fact my Turtwig has an E+ speed), and I assume S doesn't have a plus or minus. The reason I assume that is because there's 32 possible values for an IV, if S doesn't have a plus or minus each grade could be two possible values. So if I'm right, my Marill's IVs would be either a 30 or 31 in HP and Special Attack, 26 or 27 in Attack, 18 or 19 in Defense, and so on. It seems right, anyway, though if I ever run into something with an S+ or S-, my theory goes out the window. Still, whether I'm exactly right or not, it still gives you a good idea what your EVs are without outright telling you.

Anyway I think it's a pretty neat game. Having a lot of fun with it.

I played all the way through Gaia and really enjoyed it. Excellent fan game.
