PokePass was like stupid easy to use. I walked outside of a Game Stop, clicked on "skip" for the scan part, and got the code for the shinies.

This is so much better than actual human interaction.

IVs feel kind of redundant with natures, imo. I wouldn't mind if in its place there was some sort of crossbreeding stat value, where a father would give a bonus to their highest stat and penalty to their lowest stat or something along those lines.

Honestly, I would be so happy if they had a way to change natures. The breeding grind burned me out real hard this generation (even though it is arguable the easiest it has ever been).

Also, the ability to change what ball a Pokemon is in would be pretty cool too. Not needed, but it will make my life easier as all of the Pokemon that I PvP with must be in luxury balls.

I am okay with nature changing but for some reason changing balls is absolutely verboten. That requires effort to get them all pretty dammit, you can't just shortcut that.

Holy poo poo the ability to change natures on the fly is a game changer for me. I cannot tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to get perfect IV's for a specific nature.

Speaking of which, did they mention how IV's will work? Is it like Sun and Moon where there are bottle caps only usable at level 100? I cant watch the video do to me being at work :smith:.

Question for everyone building teams for VGC, is Ferrothorn the nightmare it was destined to be this generation? I am looking at counters I will need to make for him, but if he is still not meta I will spare myself that team gymnastics.

Also, on Reddit they data mined that Incineroar will have parting shot

IVs: Individual Values. Think of them as like your Pokemon's genetics, so a Scorbunny with a perfect attack IV of 31 is inherently better at physical attacks than the Scorbunny with a 12 in attack.
EVs: Effort Values. These are the gains from working out, I suppose? Everyone can work out, so both of the Scorbunnies I listed above can achieve perfect EVs in atk, 255, and they will both get an additional 63 points of attack from it. Pokemon can achieve a max total of 510 EVs, and every 4 EVs in a stat translates to 1 point in said stat, so the maximum number of EVs you can get while still benefiting from them is 252.

Hyper Training: I think I'd liken this to gene therapy? Putting a Pokemon through Hyper Training will set a stat's IV to be treated as 31, so Scorbunny B can undergo it and have an atk stat functionally identical to Scorbunny A's perfect one.

Supplements: These add 10 EVs to a stat. There used to be a cap on these but I guess not anymore, so 25 of one supplement will get you pretty close to maxing it out.

Pokemon: It's like chemistry, but somehow worse.

Oh yeah that. I think you have to catch those guys specially from the max raids in the wild area, and they only appear in the purple light beams. And also there's only specific ones at a time, like I think this week is the ground snake and Kaiju drednaw. Yeah it's kinda dumb but whatever

Hmm that is a weird system. I wonder if you can breed them and they still have the special Gigamax form.
