these traditional dances are so rich and cultural

I love how the first one lures you into a false sense of seriousness and then they just get silly.

Also I like that you can apparently change Oricorio around by giving it nectar, that's better than my old plan of 'catch all of them'.

Just a shirt. The first shop's hats are exclusively trilbys.

The cafe dude gave me a handful of em when I first ordered a drink but he's not handing me any more. Is there a store I could go to?

A bit later in the game, after the third trial, you get access to poke pelago, which gives you lots and lots of beans.

Until then, they're rather lean.

They just raise affection as far as I can tell in Refresh. Just like the pokepuffs or whatever they were called in X/Y

I *think* also that having higher fullness allows you to gain more affection from petting a pokemon before it starts getting "enjoyment" but I'm not totally sure about that.

Also they're used as currency in Poke Pelago.

glad I just finished Island one then, because I've had Alolan Grimer in my party since the start and I gotta show my Literal Garbage Pride.

Also hey anyone know the rarity of finding a Crabrawler when you go through berries? I've been rooting through every pile I pass but no luck. Is it rare enough where I should just wait until it shows up as a more normal pokemon or am I just unlucky?

I'm on the fence about getting SuMo. Based on what my friends have been telling me,the story blows,your companions suck and it has the worst villain team since Team Filler Flare,apparently. Should I get this,wait for (hopefully) a third version,or just skip it?

Is it still lopsided that the girl protagonist has way better options? I haven't started yet because the boy options in X and Y kinda sucked and was wondering if there was any sort of guide as to what's available yet.

There is a 3rd version coming out for the Switch, so you should probably skip these games. I don't know how much of an improvement that will be though.

If you're playing a Pokemon game for the story, you're going to be thoroughly disappointed since they're never good.

Just remember it's Pokemon, the story is always going to be bad, the companions are always annoying and the team is always bad. You go in it for the fun battling and the cute creatures, so never kid yourself.

I think B/W was probably the high point of the franchise for story. That's the exception rather than the rule, though. Generally Pokemon games don't have much in the way of story and make up for it in atmosphere and I think SuMo does a great job of that.

The atmosphere, environments and whatnot is so good in SuMo. I also don't mind any of the characters in this game (yet?) and think they're all pretty nice :shobon:
