I won't judge her too hard, I've spent more time in the Festival Plaza than actually undertaking my Island Trial Journey.

drat, do I pick A-Rattata or A-Meowth? This is a tough choice.

Edit: Okay just played with Meowth in Refresh and the choice got a lot easier. His smug air is sublime.

You know how there's piles of fruit laying under some palm trees? pick them up and sometimes a Crabrawler will appear.

Just beat the first ultra beast. Really loving the game, though might be because once more i have so many pokemon rotating in and out that i'm usually a few levels under my opponents. Ahhh i think i'm close to getting Mimikyu!

Okay, I'm clearly missing something, I've been told by the internet that someone's supposed to by in the cemetery at night handing out TM56, is there some part of the cemetery I don't have access to yet? Speaking of, the Spooky Plate is supposed to be hidden near a "cave" and there's no caves in this cemetery.

Go left from the professors lab. There are some Tauros boulders.

If you played the demo its where the dragon trial took place though there are no dragons there in the full game.

Sorry, the Hau'oli Cemetery, I'm not aware of any others in Alola. Serebii.net's claiming the existence of some stuff that I'm just not finding. Maybe it's a Poke Ride thing.

So I have a spare Genesect code n the midst of all this Alola play by play. I can't use it to give the Genesect to someone but if you want the code just let me know who in Alola would be Genesect's best friend and why.

Anyways they seem to have put all the collest pokemon right at the start of the game??? gently caress yeah slowpoke 4 lyfe.

On the other hand I am a little dismayed they didn't use any 3D effects despite the raw muscle of the NEW Nintendo 3DS

Maybe I did something wrong, but Slowpoke was underperforming pretty badly for me and got switched out by the 2nd island. I would definitely keep space for a Grimer, Cutiefly and Rockruff (Sun), though.

It's Game Freak. They are technologically inept. The game still has frame drops on a New 3DS.

I'm really liking all the quality of life improvements in this game. There were a couple of features I didn't even know I wanted such as taking items off of wild Pokemon immediately.

How does Pichu evolve again?

I had got one at level 5, gave it the soothe bell, raised all it's hearts in refresh to 5, let it sit front row and fight a large amount of battles and it's now level 24 and still just a idiot useless baby.

Mine popped at 22. I used 2 rare candies along the way and it faced way more battles than it should have. Made sure to keep it full on all the happiness bar things the whole time too and never died. Didn't get soothe bell till it was 18 even.
