Well, either I got super lucky or the odds aren't all that bad - found a Corsola on my first bubbling rock off Melemele, and the second thing it called up was a Mareanie.

My only question now is where is Sableye? The Pokedex shows it up at Ten Carat Hill, but I can't find it, and PokemonDB doesn't show it in the spawn table. Is it also an SOS-only catch?

yea, it's SOS only and hilariously it seems to prioritize attacking the pokemon that called it before yours. I love that lil poo poo

I think they were making a "joke" about its final evolution looking masculine, but it can still be female.

if an avatar's name is in red you can talk to them and they'll ask you questions which can get you FC and also you can start up missions by talking to either the lady npc outside the castle or one of the npcs in the castle

I expected Rotomdex to be incredibly annoying but he's unironically hilarious. His line about how there's even government offices in paradise is my favourite so far.

Also, Rowlet using Astonish is the best attack animation of all time.

Question about Technician - I know it fails to power up 60 or under moves if said move gets a boost in damage ala Pursuit, but how does it interact with moves that get STAB?

STAB does not matter for Technician. It only cares about the move's base power.

Technician stacks with STAB perfectly fine. Pursuit and other variable attacks cause it to fail because they actually change the power of the attack. STAB is a straight damage multiplier after the attack's power is set.

some random kid in the first Pokemon center on the third island mentions getting a Mewtwo from Wonder Trade

so that means someone not only canonically caught Mewtwo in universe they threw it into the void and gave it to some random child without any concern

this is canon now

Okay, thanks. I haven't really paid attention to any of the news for Sun and Moon since they announced the starters and the whole "some classic pokemon have different type combinations in Alola" twist, so I was worried they were talking about a legitimate gameplay bug.

I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight, knowing that Yoshikage and Killer Queen can finally begin their quiet life in Alola without any gameplay issues.

Or he's like the "My Raichu evolved!" guy from Red/Blue, who I assume was just screwing with you. (I think it was actually a bug where they changed what he traded you and forgot to update the dialog)

I, frankly, want this smug Jagen to be my avatar on all forms of social media immediately.
So, I got Moon, how early do Oranguru and Drampa show up? I want to take my Wizard Ape and Granddad for the main plot, but if they're like, final area Pokemon, I could grab one of the others, there are so many good Pokemon this gen.

it wasn't a bug, it was them using a different script from the version of the game they'd actually adapted into that particular version, where the traded Pokemon was one of the trade evolutions and not a Raichu.

This line at least is fully intentional.

I have a different interpretation: that kid, and others that talk about trading and have 3DSes, are playing Pokemon games since they're too young to be trainers. So it's like if Nintendogs was way more in-depth.

If you don't want it to break the game, just turn it off whenever you start to get a little bit overleveled.
