So do people try and use Happy Hour on the Gastly and then get hit by Mean Look? Cause that's hilarious.

Finally got the game myself and the only other member I know I'm getting is Pikipek, I'll probably get one more Pokemon on Melemele and catch some more later on.

Cool thing: before the festival at the start of the game, any Pokemon you find on Route 1 will be caught by a Poke Ball, 100% of the time. I've thrown Poke Balls at Pokemon at full health and it always works, it's great.

Update: The Gastly started to struggle just after I got everything but hold back down to 0pp, 36pp left in hold back.

Ah, the good old days of Gen I where you could get into a trainer battle that couldn't end because AI mons didn't Struggle.

Yup, owned by my own greed.

And when you try to use metronome to try to do any damage it uses spite to get rid of all it's pp, then chain sleeps you with hypnosis so you can't even spend your remaining pp to get to struggle.

Yep, Popplio has gotten to level 8 by catching things alone, haven't even taken down any Pokemon. If I'm gonna get a Gen 7 living dex, might as well start early.

Just let it shine through
Pretty sure I'm gonna buy Sun soon in addition to my Moon. First time I'll have owned both version simultaneously, but I'm already itching to start a new game and play through with a completely separate team.

Plus I'll be able to trade back and forth easily since I have two 3DSes, so starters and version exclusives for days.

This is actually a nerf from last generation, where it was just "First route+Pokeball=100%" rather than being timelocked :eng101:

(by "last generation" I mean Kalos Route 2 and Hoenn Route 101)

Get a copy of Sun and a copy of Moon and then you can trade with each other.

It's pointless to try to share a single game.

You know, I very well might... I've always scoffed (gently) at the dual Pokémon releases, but (a) Moon was an early Christmas gift from my roommate because I couldn't really think of anything else I wanted in this price range, and (b) she seemed more excited about Pokémon than I did, so Sun sounds like a perfect gift in return.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Picked up a themed 2DS + Moon bundle this morning. One thing I hadn't noticed before is that besides the silver silhouette of Pikachu on the front there are also three belonging to the starters on the back. It's pretty neat.

Played the game for like 2 hours and just picked up my mystery gift Munchlax. It had a relaxed nature. It is almost like it knew that I had named him Buddha.

Not necessarily, you can get 9 different Pokemon on Alola Route 1 in that time, whereas you can only get 6 different Pokemon each on Kalos Route 2 and Hoenn Route 101 throughout the whole game.

If it still applied throughout the whole game, then you would be able to get 20 different Pokemon on Alola Route 1 with the 100% catch rate, including Pokemon like Pikachu, Snorlax and Happiny.

Colress, he was a... villain/rival? of B/W2. Really more of a freelance Scientist who hooked up with Team Plasma to do unspecified SCIENCE!

He helped your dude a bunch and left Plasma to go keep doing science elsewhere? i dunno, B/W2's plot was weird and kinda bad and he was a nonsensical character.

I'm guessing he's here as a cameo for the same reason Grimsley is :shrug:

look, they're getting a league now. no one cares about being a kahuna any more old man.


For real though that is a really weird plot point.

Also I love how the E4 starts off with 2 Kahunas, then they replace the next one with one of the trial captains (because he's the ennui loner) and the last one is... a golfer girl who doesn't even really want to do this poo poo.

The Tapu seem to impose their will on the people when they feel like it. It might not be too bad to be rid of them. The ghost area was created by Tapu Bulu getting pissed they built a walmart on it's land.
