Flopsy posted:Awesome giveaway. Thank you very much for the giveaway! I'd like the Shiny Diancie and the Shiny Budew, if they're still available. If you could name the Budew Rosie, I'd really appreciate it, and you would be supporting a proud tradition of my sister and I giving our Pokemon names that are puns on things like our character names. And is one of the Kartanas Jolly, by any chance? It's been painful trying to get one with a good nature. My FC is 4141-7726-8213 and my IGN is Rosa. If you want anything interesting, I have Ideal-Natured Ultra Beasts (Pheromosa, Celesteela, Nihilego and Xurkitree), XL HA 5IV Pumpkaboos, and some regular bottle caps. Otherwise feel free to have all the Crabrawlers you won't be able to wait to throw away!

Flopsy posted:I can getcha all of the above! And yes the kartanas are jolly with 6IVs. If i can make a request as to what I'd personally want the easiest would be a pidove in a dusk ball. If not send over the Crabrawlers! I'll post a message when all's in order. Awesome, I really appreciate it! And yup, a Dusk Ball Pidove is a bit out of what I can do, I only have Pokemon Moon/Ultra Moon finished, and just restarted my game of Pokemon X and stupidly forgot to back up my save file on my Action Replay. This giveaway is really nice, let me see if I can trade for it on r/pokemontrades.

Dehry posted:After Ash got his final badge in Kanto, they began a training arc for the Elite Four based around him being back in Pallet Town. In one of them the circus comes to town and ash dresses like a Mr. Mime for plot reasons. A real one wanders back to his house and Ash's mom thinks it's him. It starts living with her doing chores and has been a recurring character since. You know, when I was 12, I was into Pokemon Red/Blue, and decided to try reading the manga to see if I wanted to watch the TV show, since I could start it from the beginning. I remember getting to the part (please excuse me if this is wrong, it's been 20+ years) seeing Ash steal Misty's bike, trash her bike, and then refuse to pay for it like lol sorry I'm gonna go on adventures now. I remember thinking, "Wow, this guy is an rear end in a top hat, I don't wanna watch a show about him," and proceeded to funnel my money into games, cards, and dolls. It bothers me to think that if I had stuck with it, what might have been.

Flopsy posted:Oh Lord thank you LOL. Welp you're going think I'm insane but the fact I actually went through with this probably means I already am. So the worst thing I've ever had to breed in my life was essentially the jewel of my collection. A single Budew. Now you might ask yourself "What makes this Budew so much more valuable than all these shiny Arceus' and Deoxys' you're giving away Flops?". It's a timid, hidden ability budew with extrasensory and hidden power fire in a moon ball with the highest possible IVs in every category save attack. Ok, this was pages back, but I just realized this was the origin of the shiny Budew you gave me, which metal as heck, for a Pokemon who is Rosie the Roselia, who lives in a flower patch with Dishes the Oddish, and Psylvester the Psyduck, because I always name my shinies like I'm still 12 years old. That's an awesome story, though, and thank you for the Budew!

Also Combee is my actual favorite Pokemon, so seeing that 10% chance for a female one to turn into a Vespiqueen almost physically hurts me. Good luck, goon.

Flopsy posted:Just to warn you the plot of USUM is a serious downgrade, absolutely shits on some enjoyable plot points. I mean if you're playing for the plot anyway. At the very least it's much MUCH easier to grind BP in the surfing game than it is to do the battle tree. Yeah. I always feel weird talking about this with anyone but the most hardcore of fans, because lol, Pokemon plot complexity, but I like Sun/Moon is more interesting plot-wise, while Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon is more fun mechanics wise. Sun and Moon is much darker, and some of motivations characters stem from legit mental illnesses, PTSD, etc, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon erase those scenes and leave you with the impression that they're implying that the characters are acting the way they do in other scenes because they're just zany and wacky! But I'm an adult fan, of course I like the more mature character motivations more, but honestly, I still recommend US/UM to people. In fact that's what my sister is doing right now, playing Ultra Sun without playing Sun. And in her case, she doesn't care about the plot points that much, she's much more interested in the cute slice of life stuff. Really, the only problem I have US/UM changing it that much, except for in the case of Lusamine, because it makes Lillie and Gladion look more like brats for running away from home, instead of having to flee from a tyrannical mother with total control and a totally Brain-Control Pokemon Parasite induced unchecked mental illness. It's not enough to recommend Sun/Moon over US/UM to someone, but it does make me glad I played both.

Flopsy posted:I'm so glad Regimind isn't a giant wet brain. Yeah. USUM has a lot of scenes that are just swapped with lighter stuff. Stuff that stands on it's on, but it is kinda sad what's cut is good stuff, too. Say, when you're catching the Ultra Beasts in the endgame, Sun and Moon goes through a lot of story that makes the Ultra Beasts more dangerous and horrific. They've very alien and dangerous due to them accidentally Wormholes thousands of light years away, and being toxic against Earth (Pokeearth?) life forms by nature. They attack because they're insane from being in an alien environment, and they're seeking out anything or anyone that's been a Wormhole because it feels faintly like the only world they know, but when they realize it's not going to get them home, they go with mad with rage and attack them. Your character is hunting them down with the Pokemon Interpol, with Looker and Nanu (the Dark-type Kahuna), and as the story slowly comes out that, yeah, they asked you to help not just because you were strong, but because you were strong and made excellent bait. They had been ordered to try it before with a person who wasn't strong, and she had been killed and eaten by a Guzzlord; which is most of the Nanu's motivation for being the way he is: suffering from PTSD that came from from people above him totally disregarding the life of him and his comrades. To compare, in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, that scene has the Ultra Recon squad capture Stakataka/Blacephalon with Hau, and then the rest of the Ultra Beasts you can get by wormhole surfing. Looker and his boss lady show up later and are like, "Let's go to the Battle Tree!", and I guess you could just interpret Nanu as a lazy guy who is living his dream of living in a police station as a crazy cat man. In return, you get Hau getting more character development, and pretty much guilt free access to catching Ultra Beasts with good natures to cream the Battle Tree with, which hey, I'm a big fan of. I would not be surprised at all if someone higher up looked at Sun/Moon at some point and told them to knock it off because this is a game that's supposed to be sold to kids, in literally the most lucrative multimedia franchise in the world.

SpaceCadetBob posted:So is there any way yet to get a mon to lvl 100 without just battling the elite 4? I only have SM but would get USUM if they added something to fix how horrible grinding it is. You can put it on the training course on Poke Pelago and give it the exp juice, to have up to 18 training passively. I think there are also restaurants in Festival Plaza that have exp food too. I miss the Battle Chateau so much.

Vegetable posted:I went to the largest Pokémon Center in Tokyo last week and it was pretty pathetic. They don’t even have plushes of every mon. No cool events or in-game gifts either — brought my Switch for nothing. I brought a dollop of yen to spend and genuinely struggled to find interesting things to buy.   Seriously though, sorry you didn't have a good time. I get the plush thing, I get mine from Etsy, because a lot of the early gen plushes are one off and are..questionable. compared to how good the newer ones look.

Lately, I've been wanting to get into Battle Tree, and maybe eventually competitive battling, and I'm at an intermediate level of understanding, and am not sure where to go from here. I understand Natures/IV's/EV's, and how to breed them onto a Pokemon when applicable, but I'm not aware of what constitutes a good battling team. Like, I've read that Sassy Celesteela and Jolly Kartana are good for Battle Tree, but I'm not sure what I would do with them, and I'm confused when I see words like "Sweeper" or "STAB". Where's the best place to go from here? I'd like to know how to make a good team, and the mechanics of why.

When the online features shut down for the DS era games, did that happen after all DS services shut down, or after the release of X/Y? I’m hoping to have time to try all the online features in Gen 7 before they disappear.

I rented Let’s Go Eevee from GameFly and finished it with a complete Pokédex in less than a month, so it only cost me $17. For some reason, I felt like it was fun, but kind of a disappointment, but since it’s been dropping to $30 in sales, I’ve suddenly started feeling like it was really just great.

Zuzie posted:Also yeah that sort of poo poo wouldn't fly today but it was Japan in the mid-90s when the ideas were first hashed out. Heck, even Brock's characterization of hitting on any pretty woman they group comes across would be considered creepy or downright offensive today, but it gets a pass because that's become one of his most defining character traits in the anime. I’ll get you, Pokémon! Even if it’s in the fire, in the water, in the grass, in the forests, In the ground, in the clouds, In that girl’s skirt (sound of girl screaming)

"Man, the discussions about Pokemon Sword and Shield have been a total shitshow, I don't mind if people are unhappy, but I just wanna sit back and chill with people and talk about the new starters and stuff, people who can be disappointed without being overemotional about it and writing 10 paragraph essays that boil down to 'please market your game to me, and not to 5-10 year olds'" Oh yeah, Something Awful! That always had a pretty good community, I should check what's going on - "

I think it was because they killed off Robo from Chrono Trigger. God knows what I would have been like had I access to a Twitter or Reddit echo chamber.

Funky Valentine posted:That was a much more reasonable and understandable thing to be furious about. Oh man, it's all coming back to me now. They killed Robo and the three main characters from Chrono Trigger, and then explained it as something like "The AI that was created by Dinosaurs from another dimension did it". When I beat the game, I snapped the discs in half because I was angry I had wasted 40 hours, and I would never be tempted to play it again. If Reddit had existed at the time, there is at least a 100% chance my 14-year-old self would have written a 10-paragraph diatribe about it.

Yesssss, I get the preorder bonuses for the Nintendo shop double pack of Sword and Shield, because it passed my much more casual player sister’s test of Does it have Oddish > Yes > Then preorder it. She, me, and my longtime best friend even have different starters that we’re going to pick, so I guess everybody’s gonna get a keychain of their favorite starter, too. It’s so fun to be still have this in my life as an adult.
