I'm so happy that it seems like scaling EXP gain is back. The pokemon you temporarily catch in the catching trial gain EXP even though your Greninja doesn't, and my level 31 Rockruff just gained more than my level 34 Yungoos in the same battle. (I'm bored as hell, seeing if i can level up this Rockruff for the hell of it) Sorry if that was a revelation made pages ago!

Nope don't think anyone mentioned it, and it's pretty great news!

So the scaling exp now takes into account the pokemon's current level?

i'm just about done with my nuzlocke of the demo (current team: ash-greninja), and is there any way to get the pokemon catching nugget without breaking the "one pokemon per area" rule. even if you count the top and bottom grass patches separately that's only two :(

Did you catch a pokemon in the both the top AND the bottom patch of grass in the catching event?

Dont think there is any restriction like that, I just caught stuff at random till out of balls and got it first try.

It's an UB all right. Reminds me of Etrian sorta design.

Oh god I hope Zy isn't a UB. It'll be your mom or something.

Yeah the regional dex seems to be a bit of a step back from X/Y. 300 vs 450.

And really heavily weighted against Gens IV and VI overall.

Just another sign of the Gen 4 remake.

Also the Town does have different music depending on whether it's day or night hope the other towns follow suit.

One more thing the free space in the bag is great it seems like you can move anything into it even key items.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

So I got tired of training my catcher Gallade* in Platinum and decided it was finally time to go hunting for those roaming legendaries. Turned out that the last one of them, Zapdos, was still too fast and was able to flee. A Quick Claw and a dozen attempts later I was finally to get a Mean Look off and I got a battle that took twice as long as the others. I guess insisting on having the entire trio be caught in an ultra ball was not helping. Bless those Leppa berries.

After finally catching Zapdos I looked up it's speed stat and it was just 2 points higher than my Gallade... :suicide:

*Thanks to the goon(s) who recommended that to me a while back BTW

For your awful taste in fictional monsters for children.

I will fight you for that.

Anyway, goodbye and good riddance HMs. May you rot forever.Also, the UB ball looks tight. I assume this means that either the Ultra Beasts are not human, or we will be separating them from their human hosts in-story to avoid adding even more moral issues to making monsters fight.
