It's to the left of the Pokemon lab beyond the patch of grass that looked like it was leading into a cliff.

At least it's not as bad as those trainers who would do stuff like trade you a haunter holding an everstone.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I'm trying out the new Carnival hub for online. The first player I talk to is a soul-less looking girl with bright blue eyes from Japan. After I finish talking to her, her departing message is "I like bad things"

So I decided to use the release of Sun/Moon to finally try the Nuzlocke rule set.

Which ended shortly after the intro by a lucky crit on my starter by an electric type pokemon at the pokemon trainer school, leaving me with a single flying type to be obliterated one turn later.

:sigh:

Well hey, now I know better for attempt #2.

Out of curiosity, for anyone else doing one, how are people handling the routes being split apart into multiple "zones" on the map? Do you consider each zone a separate area, allowing yourself one capture per zone, or are you limiting yourself to the usual one catch per route rule?

You got hilariously bad luck with her.

Meanwhile I hit her with three mud-slaps and she refused to miss.



Also, I would like these characters so much more if they would just let me play the game! Other than that I have nothing against them. They're far better than the entire X/Y cast by far.

Is it really that good? I knew it's ability was friggin' ridiculous, but I planned on getting Golisopod instead. If it's really that fantastic, I might change my mind.

Z-Conversion Porygon-Z (lol) is super scary.

Z-conversion gives +1 to all stats and then changes your type to the first move in your moveset, and you have Adaptability so you basically start throwing out +1 double-STAB Thunderbolts or Ice Beams, and gain a bunch of speed and bulk. You could run 3 attacks, or 2 attacks + Recover.

The Stunfisk subreddit is sweeping whole teams with just Porygon-z with just bolt beam, conversion, and recover.

Man this game is slow. I don't mean it runs slow, but the game itself is just slow. All the cutscenes and interactions take forever. I'm only like an hour in but so far I'm kinda meh about the game itself. The pokedex is good and the new pokemon/alolan forms are cool but I don't know how i feel about the trials and poo poo yet

Buying anything at a Pokemon Cafe in Pokecenters includes a free sack of a randomly-chosen color of bean, plus once a day you also get a free region-exclusive status heal item (Lava Cookie, Lumiose Galette, etc.).

By the way Team Skull is the best. :allears: I was getting a little tired of bad guy teams that were all serious and melodramatic, so now we're back to goofy, ineffectual dopes like back in Gen 1 and 2.

I wasn't really ever blown away by the graphics in the trailers but having it in-hand I am absolutely amazed that gamefreak managed to pull this off on 3DS hardware. It really resembles some of the hayday PS2 games which, while not overtly impressive these days, is a pretty amazing leap for this series to make coming from where it was.

Guess what, it doesn't stop until the very end. Most of the cutscenes don't even add anything to the "story" and is just a bunch of tutorials and meaningless padding.

I like that there's an increased emphasis on story. Especially after XY when none of the Kalos gym leaders had much going for them.

The anime managed to make them kinda cool. They made Ramos of all characters entertaining. Ramos.
