The only thing that evolves from affection is Eevee. And it also needs a Fairy move on top of that.

Dumb question, but do the later salons have more hair color options? The first island one just has a lot of various of blonde or brown hair.

It learns Psybeam at the next level, so keep it for a bit longer.

Everything I've read says those are it. Kind of miffed that I can't get real red hair.

At first I hated rotomdex, but I'm kind of enjoying him now. Still having difficulty rationalizing a pokemon that talks. Are there any non-anime precedents for this?

The Rotom in the professor's lab doesn't talk until it enters the pokedex, so I assume it integrates human language that's been programmed into the pokedex and that's how it talks.

Same. There are multiple shades of blonde and brown, but no red! As someone with coppery/strawberry blonde hair, my best choice is the "caramel blonde."

cutiefly is stronk. Mine's gone from a silly 'haha what a cute pokemon' addition to probably a permanent part of my team once it evolves.

I'm confused about Pokémon Stars. Is it only coming to Switch? If so and if it has new pokemon to catch like some articles mused over that will be lame.

So what's the point of buying drinks from the cafe. As far as I can see my character is actually drinking them instead of stuffing them into her bag to use as healing items

Is it just the beans that the guy sometimes gives you

Yeah, it's the beans and the "tea biscuit" (a random consumable item) they give you once a day. Buying any beyond that doesn't give you anything other than "advice" which I assume as an adult you don't need.

It turns out the reason Kadabra doesn't learn Confusion upon evolving is because of a bug.

Basically what happens is if a Pokemon has less than 4 moves, and is supposed to learn a move upon evolving, the game prioritizes a level 0 move instead, which ends up doing stuff like screwing Kadabra out of Confusion.

Me too! I wasn't planning on ever using one, but I sure as hell won't now.

Also, I love that you can tell that annoying blonde girl that you don't really want to help her. I mean, I know they are going to force me to help her again but I loved being able to tell her to fix her own problems. Weak rear end do nothing.

I love the scale of this now that they ditched the grid system. It's so weird in a Pokemon game to be wandering down huge wide roads and going into big houses and buildings that look like people could actually live and work in. You hear Pokemon all the time, you see people hanging out with their Pokemon all the time, it's all very colorful and vibrant. The battles look great too, especially with the trainers giving orders. Did they upgrade a lot of the Pokemon animations? The other 3DS games just seem so stiff and bland in comparison now.

They doubled it in Gen VI. No other changes have been made to it in Sun and Moon.

The TM person's there at night. Not sure about any cave, though.

Yeah, except it's presently night, and the TM person isn't there, so either I'm encountering a very specific bug, or more likely, I'm missing something. Where in the graveyard is she supposed to show up? It's a pretty small area, but if I missed some side path, this will at least tell me where it is.

Wow! Okay just so I'm not completely off my rocker: this Aloja Rattata is reddish brown, appeared with a little sparkle animation, and has a little red star next to his markings. This isn't scripted and there aren't any different colors by gender or anything like that? This is a legit randomly encountered shiny? I guess I have no choice but to love this stupid terrible pokemon.

Hm, maybe they should have fixed this bug.

Or maybe

Maybe they shouldn't have Pokemon evolution stages that are functionally useless.
