I have found wild Ditto, but it has lead to the darkest of lariat situations.

Edit: This route sucks for catching anything. The other things on this route I can catch is something with self destruct and Beldum.

Edit 2: Beldum can call for help. gently caress my life.

you can run from pokemon even if they call for help

also you should really invest in repels

Yeah, but I want to catch all these things. Got a Minior and a Beldum in a pokeball.

Just need to catch 2 Ditto and I can make progress.

The music in this game is pretty great. Team Skull has great music, (other great songs/major spoilers in spoiler tags) but so does the Aether Foundation and Lusamine.

The battles are also pretty good compared to X/Y and OR/AS, although Lusamine 2 can go to hell with her Clefable on steroids.

i was not looking forward to SM OU, but it turns out, it's actually fairly great. a lot of the mons are really cool and have sick niches with notable enough drawbacks so that they're not broken. once they get rid of aegi and gene again and pheramosa it'll be really relaly great i bet

You know, I never really realized it until now, but drat the PC is creepy as gently caress. Constantly smiling, staring, never blinking...

I think your mom wants you out of the house just because you're creepy as gently caress and she doesn't want to deal with that poo poo anymore.

My headcanon is all the mom's from the games want you out so they can bang the professors. Its creepier this time because the professor is her nephew or something but I don't change headcanon rules.

You're meant to play as a girl. That's all there is to it.
Same as having a female Popplio.

Sure, you can not do that, but it's clearly not the intent.

I've been fighting this Wishiwashi for like 20 minutes what the actual hell is going on.

Someone said they can't call for help if you give them a status effect but this thing keeps calling for help even though it's asleep :negative:

Can I just keep soft resetting next to a berry pile to try and get a Crabrawler? Does the pile shake or anything when there is one in there?

If it's the one i'm thinking about, it's like the one pokemon given a 90% SOS rate.

Just kill the encounter and grab a Wishiwashi later.

THINKS CON-AIR WAS A GOOD MOVIE
Ugh Oricorio is soooo disappointing.

It doesn't learn its' cool-rear end mini-judgment until 40. And it learns nothing good or noteworthy until then.

It's basically just a lovely bird pokemon until it learns Revelation Dance. I wanted it to be cool so bad! None of the forms learn anything new!

Aight thanks, took your advice :smith:


Also why does this game (series) have to make every tiny cute pokemon a Grass and/or Fairy type :arghfist::saddowns: I'm gonna end up with a team of just grass and fairy. Cutiefly, Bounsweet, Comfey, Morelull, Fomantis, Petilil.. it's a trend.

Don't know if you can reset. If I recall correctly, the pile looks a bit bigger. Could have imagined it.

You just walk up to the very first pile and there's one in it. Super easy.

I restarted three times to get all three starters, sending the first two to my husband for safekeeping in the meanwhile. I'm gonna see how far I can get using just them! (Also it takes ~40 minutes from title screen to being able to trade, and you have to have at least two pokemon. I felt like I was in Groundhog Day.)

I kind of dig the "Pokémon bounties" you get at Pokémon Centers every once in a while. It'd be cool if they expanded on that a bit, like if you caught a specific mon with a specific gender or ability it would net you a small fortune.

How is Island Scan meant to work? Marill's running around in the bay you fight Wishiwashi at, but I don't see a silhouette or anything. Is it just added to the encounter table til I find it?

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 think I'm almost finished at the first island and my team is Dartrix, Litwick (From Island Scan) and Drifloon and I haven't even caught a Mimikyu yet. Looks like I'm going for an impromptu Ghost run.

It's on your menu in the second screen. You scan any QR codes and it will give you a random Pokemon, or you can scan Specific QR codes to unlock the "Seen" in the Pokedex. After you scan 10 QR codes a rare pokemon will be added to the encounter list to a route somewhere on the island, and after you battle it once it disappears. After scanning the first 10, I think you have to wait 2 hours before you can scan again meaning it takes almost a full day to be able to do another Island Scan.

On Island 1 I've caught Litwick and saw Chikorita, and saw people mention the other 2 Johto starters.

Ohhhh, I did. After spreading it to like, everything I had to make sure I'll always have plenty of things it can keep spreading to in the box.

But, poo poo. A quick google says that it's a 1/21,845 chance of finding it on a wild Pokemon. That's.. Wow. Haha.

I'm I the unluckiest person on the planet or is Oricorio just stupidly hard to catch

3 pokeballs 2 great balls 2 ultra balls and then it calls for help and my guys aren't equipped to grind them up so I run away

I had trouble with Oricorio too, but not as much. Took a heal ball and 4 great balls to catch with it calling for help several times.

Though her move pool isn't so great right now, since she doesn't know an electric move and I already have 2 other birds. I put Pricilla the Oricorio in the box for now.

Also, oh my goodness, Fomantis sounds like a little squeaky toy. It's so adorable. I caught one to take through the water trial and named her Orchid. :3:
