Oh yeah it was great. The first quiz I actually had to re-watch because I was watching and enjoying the cool dancing animation and forgot the poses so it was semi-serious.

And then out of nowhere: Hiker.

Hiker was really good, but Totem Salazzle got a big laugh out of me

Between this and the Fire trial, I feel like this game is alright as far as gags.

The game's tone is absolutely stupid. Which works because it knows it. Team Skull are not only complete chumps to the player character but also seen as an annoying non-threat by an old grandpa working the poke-berry farm. Your rival is a happy-go-lucky idiot who is called out by your other super-special rival who is such an Edge Lord (so edgy) that even Skull calls him out and goes "seriously dude, you're just a hired hand, you're too dumb to hang out with us."

And everyone's a loving moron besides the girl (who's just a helpless princess) but here's the kicker: you can call them out on their stupidity in game! And some of the NPCs do it for you.

Yeah, you knew test three was gonna be goofy from the get go when the first pose is one of the Marowaks miming taking a picture of the hiker dancing with the other Marowaks. You're all "where is this going from here?" and you get Suddenly Salazzle photobombing the picture. That entire section was glorious from the get-go.

I was reading in Smogon's forums a bit ago. Diancite is gone from the game? Hope we get an event for it. Does anyone know if it exists in any of the data dumping?

Everything since Gen 3 is still existent in code within the games. It's just that there is no known way to get certain items in Gen 7 right now. Particularly certain Mega Stones. As usual, mystery gift events and more games in the generation will add more to the pool of obtainable objects. It's more a matter of when than if.

But that bit where he's posing after Meowth walks into the battle royal, she kinda thinks of Kukui and overlays his image on Masked Royal and immediately shakes her head and turns away. That has to mean she doesn't know, right?

More ending talk I kind of read it as "oh he's wearing the mask again, that crazy husband of mine ha ha ha". I could of just read the scene wrong though I guess :v:

Straight up, that and the sixth trial are both by far the best ones and justify the concept entirely.

I'm thinking she doesn't know, though my first thought upon seeing that scene was remembering the Phoenix Wright case that happened solely because a wrestler had never told his immediate family about wrestling and the Space Dandy episode with a similar premise. The Mask is sacred!

I just caught a Modest Comfey and I bred it to grab that triage ability. Seems like a decent Pokémon. I'm also in LOVE with Fluffel. Its so adorable and hits like a truck. I grabbed on with a +atk/-spdef nature which is fine for in game. it also has Fluffy? 1/2 dmg from physical moves x2 fire unless its physical. Not bad. Totally helped take down the Totem Lurantis fight with its baby doll eyes. Also its cry is so freaking adorable.

I'm working on my third (counting the leak) playthrough on an O3DS after having played on a New 3DS and really started noticing the loading times. I pulled up a stopwatch app and timed it with results being consistently at 5 seconds from initial battle fade out and then the screen popping back in. If something evolved it shaved off a second from the load times (presumably since the battle system was unloaded)

So is there anyone out there willing to trade off a female Alolan Vulpix for something frigging reasonable? I was hoping we'd get away from people asking for Legendaries and impossible Pokemon this generation, but basically every Vulpix on GTS is only available for rare SOS finds or bloody Milotics. I just want a cuddly ice fox for my team :(

put up a female sandshrew, i got a vulpix in very short order by doing this

we're still early enough that being version exclusive means something

The thing to remember with the gts is that the stuff you see listed is the stuff that's too god drat stupid to have been completed, and might not be, ever

Put up your own listing and you'll have a lot better luck. I traded my Persian for a ditto and have been able to get most anything I want by just listing a newly hatched starter and waiting

For every pokemon that gets SOS summoned, the odds of it being a shiny goes up, and if you let it summon 30+ pokemon then four IVs are guaranteed to be maxed. SOS functions are definitely annoying for a casual playthrough but they're basically a postgame lifesaver
