well I have like 20 spare legendaries so probably not easier, and then I would also need a new spritzee. it is funny though people don't even ask for bottom-tier legendaries like the lake fairies or dogs it's all box legendaries or MAYBE the legendary birds

It's probably because you only get one box/bird legendary per game reset, but you get the whole set of dogs/fairies/whatever the fighting trio is in ORAS.

Isn't there a way to do trade evos on your own? Something like putting it up on the GTS and then taking it back off? Or does that not work anymore?

If you have two gen 6 games, you can GTS between them. You can also shuffle items over this way. I had to do this with my Y and OR because I just couldn't get that dumb destiny knot in OR.

Pretty sure this only ever worked (and still does of course) if you have more than one game. Put it up from X for something specific and uncommon that you have in AS, switch games, and make the trade. I do it all the time because for real, gently caress trade evos.

It made me sad to discover that the Pokemon Center only ships to the US and not to Canada. :(

I wish the Garchomp had more removable pieces. I would love to shuffle them up to make horrible Cynthia/Shark-Dragon abominations.

Nah there was a way to do it in Gen 4 at least, never tried past that. What you needed to do was put a trade evo mon up for trade, request something impossible because the next part could take some time, then find someone who wasn't also requesting something impossible and complete a trade, next take back the pokemon you put up for trade and once you do it would evolve.

After 1221 hatches I finally got my shiny Shroomish. Those Masuda+charm stats really hurt when you realize that probability won't magically work in your favor.

Or maybe I'll hatch a second shiny immediately and make it 2 / 1224 just to get that 1 / 512 back down.

Unlike Alder who played a big role in the first game's plot, Iris is only the champion battle and never does anything outside of it, so it's understandable

Iris is cool because she has a scrolling space battle background like final bosses on the SNES.

Unleashing my best...

LUMINARY UPPERCUT!!

I still like Hugh, if only because he totally represents the kid who tries REALLY HARD to be cool. He has his own edgy backstory where he's on his journey to rescue his little sister's Purrloin, he has his own action pose in battle, and treats the MC as if they were just his sidekick.

However, the game goes out of its way to prove that Hugh's... Very much misguided. Down to the point where the people who HAVE been keeping the Purrloin he's been looking for, actually never gave that much of a poo poo about it. The poor kid is basically, well, a very passionate boy.

Hugh's theme owns so he's cool in my book. And him being really mad about his sister's cat getting stolen 2 years ago is also good, he's just not that great as an actual rival imo. He doesn't really have any beef with you and he doesn't actually want to compete with you either since your goals don't conflict or anything. It's not like Barry where you're both aiming to be champ, he just really wants to beat up a criminal organisation and is happy you're helping him out with that.


Raserys posted:

Colress as a crazy mad scientist who disagrees with Team Plasma's doctrine but helps them anyway because Ghetsis is funding his science, and then just leaves to keep doing what he's doing without them once they're beat is actually a really great characterisation and does not need to be changed.

Colress might be my favourite Evil Team Leader, even if he's only like co-leader. Also, he has my favourite theme.

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

I never thought of using my X and OR to get trade evolutions done. Thank you so much for that idea! That simplifies finishing my living dex so much. I only need like 50 more 'mons and about half of those are loving trade evos. Porygon is going to be a pain in the rear end still though.
