Can someone tell me what the hell Alolan Geodude is supposed to be? It's like mud with wires in it? And Golem has like a taser stuck in it or something? What are their dex entries? Do they give any sort of explanation as to what they're designs are going for?

Your EV training options in Sun and Moon. In short:quote:Vitamins used to get to 100 in each HP and Attack, and 90 in Speed. This'll total 290k as they're 10k a pop. Alternatively, it'll cost 58 BP, as they're 2 BP each. In true Game Freak fashion, one step forward, several steps back. They're dropping the ball on so many things this gen.

Z-Trick Or Treat could be a fun Gourgeist build. It adds +1 to the user's stats.

It's like saying Super Training or whatever was a legitimate way to train for EVs. It wasn't. We can just ignore this Poképelago method and keep doing it the old fashioned (i.e. exponentially faster/easier) way.

BearDrivingTruck posted:Can someone explain how finding rare pokemon with the QR codes works? Every QR scan, you get 10 points towards an island scan. When you reach 100 points, you can do an island scan. The island scan lets a pokemon that doesn't normally spawn in Alola spawn on whatever island you're currently on. After you scan, you have an hour to catch it before it disappears. It tells you what route the rare pokemon can be found on (so doing it before you've unlocked a whole island is a bad idea). They seem to be fairly common on whatever route they appear on, so you won't have to spend too long hunting them. You can bank up to 10 QR scans and they regenerate at a rate of one every 2 hours.

e: ^^^ yep, basicallyBearDrivingTruck posted:Wow, that's cool. Are there specific QR codes you need to scan, or can you scan any code in the real world? The QR codes that count are Pokedex QR scans. They enter the pokemon into your pokedex as "seen" so you can track where they spawn. The idea is you share your QR codes with your friends but you can just use this http://imgur.com/a/EFOqs Rescanning codes for pokemon you already have works, too.

Why are the majority of new pokemon really, really slow this gen? I guess its not a problem now but once people start importing their stuff from XY its going to be pretty bad. Don't get me wrong, I really like a lot of the new designs but does anything besides the UBs (who I guess will be like legendaries) really look like it'll be super viable outside of UU and RU?

You know how some of the evolutions in Gen IV lost speed upon evolving? The person who was in charge of that stuff is now in charge of the entire game. PSS is also completely gone. Festival Plaza replaces it, and it's much more cumbersone.

Yup. Although if your pokedex isn't fully "seen" already you'd be better off scanning QR codes of pokemon you haven't seen yet.

I need to go back and check, but pretty sure everyone last set of release leaks said "wow, Gen 6 is really really slow." Think it's been going on since then. More pokemon with unique abilities, typings and attacks but odd stat distributions.

Okay, that makes more sense, specially since the imgur folder is there and lets you get shinies (?!) and the other version exclusives (?!!) aaand the other starters (??!!!) in shiny form (!!!???) This is gonna be fun.

So since Super Training is out, does that mean the only way to reset EVs is a shitton of -EV berries? Because gently caress that so hard if true.

Slow isn't bad, really. It means more points were distributed toward bulk and the attacking stat, which actually lets you punish fast attackers pretty hard. Slow would only be bad if they were slow due to GF making a ton of mixed attackers. Instead, they hardly made any and one of the ones they did make is going to be an example of a good mixed-attacker, thanks to having a trapping move and probably getting giga drain as a tutor in gen 7.5.

I'm having a weird problem with the demo. The timing of some of the NPC encounters seems to have changed for some reason. Previously, the shady deal on the marina was supposed to be going down on the 14th, but now the cop says it'll be six days. The girl in the ferry terminal seems to have rescheduled six days father out, too. Any idea why that might be? The first three events happened on schedule.

(And because of dalylight savings?) That causes the demo to punish you for doing so.

I'd be fine with speed being randomised from 0.85 to 1x normal each turn like attack damage is.
