Is there any way to unlock more clothing at shops, or does their stock never change?

The stock doesn't change, but different shops have different clothes. So as you get further in the game there's more variety available in each town.

besides the framerate and the general weirdness of it, it seems like it was introduced too early. I won the first one against hau/emo kid/kukuiTHE MASKED ROYAL but after that when I challenged it again they were all lv. 50 and I'm still in my 20s

Yeah I had the same experience. I thought I could try to have a bit of fun with it but the next fight was against a Staraptor, Meganium, and Decidueye that spent the whole fight ganging up on me. I had level ~20 guys at the time. Guess it's a post-game thing.

Yeah, I've seen all of them and the variety seems much lower than in XY.

I checked out Pokemon Go for the first time in a while and it just occurred to me that it's the first time those pokémon assets have been created in HD, right? Like it's just a phone app but they're crisp 3d models you can rotate and everything.

supposedly GO just uses the 3DS models, which were already HD and downscaled for the games. If that's true then it explains why the 3DS games get so slow with more than 2 pokemon on screen.

no idea why 3DS games would have such high-res models, unless they're just future-proofing those assets so they can re-use them.... like..... in a new HD game :aaa:

Yeah that's unfortunately just how it is. I think X/Y got more variety because it was supposed to be a fashion-focused region, but also because there were a lot of different climates represented. So there were places that it made sense to have like hoodies and heavy pants and stuff. While Sun/Moon is all tropical so they probably thought it made less sense to have that stuff available.

Hopefully in future games they have more variety. Particularly with haircolor and glasses.

What is with female Salandits having a 15% encounter rate and being the only ones that can evolve. Does the dex entry at least warn people about this if they don't use wikis?

That's pretty much why the games have framerate issues yea, the models are already too high quality for the 3ds to handle, apparently they were trying to future proof them.

They're in the mall(opens up by the time you beat the Kahuna) and just teach Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon and the Pledge moves.

The game includes big owl eye circles in the symbols section, and a lowercase v for a beak. I hatched dovens of those fuckers and all of their names are cute little owl faces! OvO

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.

This is actually really cool cause this means you can get Hurricane on Pelipper as soon as it evolves

that works better for the name because arrowl sounds more like errol than arrow, but green arrow has green in his name and is thus a worse joke. this is important when naming your pokemon poorly

This is the best and most correct answer and also what I named mine.

Also, sidenote; when does Cubone evolve?

I've heard 25 at night and 28 at night. But apparently it learns Shadow Bone at 27?

I wanna know if I should bother catching a new Cubone or just say "screw it" and move on with who I got.

yea I find it weird that they have a lot of new pokemon show up very rarely. its a little annoying but the oldies are goodies for the most part- especially with the various buffs moves/abilities pokemon got.
