Finishing up the Dex in 7 is just a matter of catching the exclusive pokemon from that gen after moving over my living dex. Which then becomes an original hunt for 150 again which is fairly manageable.

One thing I think would be neat is, while it would break tradition (and probably lose them money since people like to get both versions to this day despite online) so it would never happen. If they just had one pokemon game and have the pokemon encounters be based on which region your game is from. So European, Japan, or the Americas. Granted this is probably because I haven't locally traded since Silver/Gold and mostly do GTS/Online trading

I have a query: so I've got this (level 57) Chansey that the friendship checker NPC said was at maximum friendship, but it's not evolving when it levels up.

This Chansey has had a slightly buggy history, as it happens: it started out as a Happiny in OR that I Pokebanked back to Y in my mad quest to fill the national dex there (up to 699 now!). But when it got to Y, I realised I didn't have any Oval Stones, so I slapped my forehead and sent it back to OR. But then, when I tried to give the Happiny an oval stone, the NOT ABLE red text was showing next to it (even though it's an "evolve by levelling up while holding" item rather than a "evolve by giving it the item" item). Saying that, I still tried to give it the stone, somehow it accepted it and I managed to evolve it into a Chansey and send it back to Y. But now I'm getting this thing where it's not evolving despite maxed friendship.

Any thoughts?

e: daytime. Goddamn it.

e2: wait no hold on, that's for Happiny to Chansey. Aaaaaaa.

Happiness resets every time a Pokemon is traded, even if you trade and trade back iirc. Did you max its happiness in the most recent period in its game of residence?

Gates to Infinity is considered by far the worst one so if you liked it you will absolutely like PSMD

The only way I could see this working is if nothing was truly exclusive to any one region. See the bullshit rare Vivillon forms to see why it'd be a bad idea otherwise.

Version exclusive mons are a dumb idea in the first place, but that ship's already sailed.

Approximately 1 in 20 will take more than 150 hearts to encounter Camerupt.

I fought Gigalith about 8-9 times too, which is the part I find strangest. 3% chance guy was no problem, 2% chance guy was an rear end in a top hat. Oh well, can't wait to get his mega stone eventually

Well the idea is to promote trading. Putting pokemon that are exclusive to your region on the GTS in exchange for a pokemon that is exclusive to another region is that simple. It would also help if some trainers had some cool pokemon you couldn't get in game. It's not that hard to trade with people. The hardest part is trading for pokemon that require trade items that you traded yourself since, it's easy to just take the pokemon and "disconnect".

I'd mostly just rather be able to buy the game that has the exclusive mons I want, instead of having to futz around with the GTS for them. It's partially sloth, partially an aversion to using traded mons during the story. They level up faster than your other guys & are subject to badge level caps, especially early on. And most importantly, you can't pick your own nickname for them. :colbert:

It'd also gently caress people over if/when that game's wi-fi features were ended. Sorry, never getting any of those region exclusive Pokemon ever again without cheating! (Not that GF does or should design with that in mind, but hey, we're already discussing poo poo that'll never happen :v:)

As far as I can tell, yes: as well as the evidence from the friendship checker, I've done a ton of cycling round/massaging etc.

Aww, that means no new Ranger game. Bah.

And only a couple of the distributions will be at Gamestop, the rest you get over Nintendo Network. Mew, Darkrai, Arceus and Genesect are Gamestop.

PokeMMO is kinda like this, but just two regions, Kanto and Hoenn. I enjoy the heck out of it, but only because I basically completely missed gen 3-6. All of the pokemon have their movesets from Gen 6 though, which is awesome because those movesets kick rear end. They've even added an auction house recently

Sure, I'll transcribe the details for you. This applies to the US. I dunno about other regions.

February: Mew at Gamestop
March: Celebi over WiFi
April: Jirachi over WiFi
May: Darkrai at Gamestop
June: Manaphy over WiFi
July: Shaymin over WiFi
August: Arceus at Gamestop
September: Victini over WiFi

The timeline on the 20th anniversary website lists a lot of the Pokemon spin-offs but doesn't mention Pokemon Picross. Interesting (or not).

Speaking of Pokemon Picross it turns out you can cheese some Picrites by setting the 3DS clock back to 0:00 a little after completing the training challenge. It's a grind but you should be able to get all the Picrites you need by renewing the challenge over and over.
