Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Pikachu should be able to learn Surf naturally, then I would like it way more.

Someone should do a romhack of that maybe

Though you'd never be allowed to evolve your eevee so maybe not

If Eevee was the actual starter Pokémon, I'd like them to make it evolve once normally, but have its second evolution based on how it's raised Digimon-style.

i mean because the engine can't support changing your following pokemon, it always has to look the same. it'd be possible to edit the sprites and stuff but not add in that functionality

I wanted Sun and Passimian is also in that. :dance:

I wonder what I should do to pass two months, though. I won't be able to get all of my Pokemon bred properly and have good natures until Bank syncs up with it.

I hope I don't restart the game before then and forget to box my Ash-Greninja. Assuming it's not exclusive to Sun/Moon, of course.

Pikachu only really falls down right at the end of the game, it handles itself just fine once it get Thunderbolt. Also you can still get Eevee in Celadon City, it's the only game in the series where you can obtain all starters in a whole gen without trading (unless you get lucky with Friend Safaris).

But if you're using Pikachu then there's no need to use Jolteon and Flareon unfortunately only has Strength and Hyper Beam to use with its high Attack, so Vaporeon is the more consistent choice.

Rath, the best Ben 10 alien. He's a tiger man from beyond the stars who acts like a wrestler and begins sentences with "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING" even when it's a perfectly normal conversation.

No offense, but SA membership tends to run on the older side. It shouldn't really surprise you that most of us don't know Ben 10 besides "Oh, I've seen a commercial or something for it once".

It's a Cartoon Network series about this 10-year-old named Ben Tennyson who gets a watch that contains DNA of a bunch of aliens. He then goes on adventures with his spellcaster cousin and his MIB agent grandfather. It's kinda like 'Dial H for Hero' in some ways.

It was decent enough, but all of the sequel series were ehhhh.

Nodosaur

Yeah, the sequel series are divisive. Rath at least seems to be one of the elements that's regarded well enough though, on account of being amusing.

I DUNNO I just thought the dumb rasslecats being similar was funny.

Does anyone have a link to that redub where they're constantly ragging on one of the older brothers for picking a bad evolution? I don't remember which one was considered the bad one.

Dexie posted:

I hope the guardians can be captured during the story and aren't a post-game thing. :swoon:

I hope I don't have to capture them because I don't want to waste time in the middle of the story soft resetting for a good one.

I wouldn't have a problem with scaling exp if it only scaled up, not down. Especially considering that Game Freak is encouraging people to go up to level 100 with Hyper Training.

Well at least IVs can be somewhat fixed now. But yeah, there's been nothing on how to adjust for Natures. At least a 1 in 25 chance is better than a chance for rolling for a good set of IVs, I suppose.

There's a Join Avenue equivalent in this game, and some of the shops in B2W2's version could level up your Pokemon pretty fast. If there's something like that in Sun and Moon, that shouldn't make the grind to 100 too bad.
