Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Brycen, Clay and the old guy are cool. Everything else was hot garbo, tho.

I didn't know about this until now. Is this still just a rumor?

It's in rumor territory right now. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, though.

Soft resetting for a female Popplio is made much more annoying now that Game Freak discovered unskipable cutscenes.

I finished the first island just now and I'm enjoying it for the most part but boy it sucks that enemy trainers seem to have the "one pokemon allowed" rule going on.

I really like the intro animations and how fluid it all is but... please tell me they get more than one pokemon on the upcoming islands.

Have the games ever had you in a pitched battle of 6v6? I can't even remember an Elite 4 member ever having a full team. It's lame and dumb and let me crush 6 of your pokemon with one of mine, danm!

Question for people that have the game: Is Lillie as adorable in the game as she is in the anime? Because she's the best. :3:


how do you live with yourself

Absolutely not adorable in the game. She is a menace. She almost has you killed by demanding you defend her pokemon with your body, when you've never met either of them before. Then she loving clings on and you can't escape her. She again, has a pokemon, but never uses it and in general just acts like a waify good for nothing. She doesn't even dress herself! I'm not even off the first island yet and every time she pops up I just want to say some mean poo poo to her and be on my way.

This game really dropped the ball on your rival and friends. I don't like talking to the island boy or this helpless bitch. I hope she falls to the wayside and I don't have to hear from her much once I get off tutorial island.

Champions always have a full team. That's pretty much it, though.

I hope there's a trainer in this game who has 1 overleveled pokemon and when you faint it, he switches between his other 5 pokemon alternatively to revive and hyper potion the overleveled pokemon.

I'm also really impressed with the presentation in this game. It makes it feel like a complete game, rather than Pokémon with a story tacked on.

Lillie's pokemon literally only knows splash

She straight up tells you in the second conversation (iirc) that it can't fight worth a drat and is a pathetic space emoji. That's why she has to ask you for help all the danged time.

I can get not liking her at first because I didn't really care for this personality but once she actually starts talking to you she gets better. I also don't really hate Hua or whatever his name is. He's a idiot dork but I'm not like, super mad that he's apparently a self-appointed buddy.

Hau's problem is that he has like 2 pokemon, they're atrocious and would lose to basically every totem 'mon, but he wins all the same. It wouldn't happen.

i like how people talk about your party pokemon (I assume whichever is int he first slot) and not just your starter, but I wish they called them by their nicknames. i mean i get that nintendo doesn't want people posting screenshots of the professor talking about how strong you and [racial slur] are but cmon

I ran into a a veteran trainer with 6 Pokemon in BW2 and it's not that great when you weren't prepared for it. An NPC gave me an egg like 15 minutes before, so I had a party of 5 bruised Pokemon when in a dark cave I ran into veteran Shaun. Still won but I actually had to use a max revive, wowzers!
