Hyper training is some serious bullshit. Like, it would be annoyingly tedious if it only required the bottlecaps, and didn't need level 100. With the level requirement it's just stupid

Gamefreak reaaaaally should have given the player character more facial expressions.

I feel like I'm playing as some sort of overly cheerful battle crazed doll with only the vaguest idea of how human emotions work...which is actually pretty cool and hilarious, but still.

Why would they not just have Type: Null use the plates to change its type like Arceus

Why did they have to dump a bunch of useless items into my inventory instead

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."
Maybe I missed it, but has anyone pointed out Burn Up yet? It's a new fire-type move that's only available on Moltres and the Cyndaquil line (or Growlithe as an egg move), so I can see why nobody's brought it up yet, but apparently it's a powerful move like Overheat, but rather than dropping the user's stats, it removes their Fire typing. Unlike Roost, which trades out Flying for Normal, Burn Up doesn't replace the Pokemon's type, it just removes it. So, Moltres would become pure flying, while the other possible users become completely typeless. That's pretty cool, though not turning Normal-type means Arcanine can't get STAB Extremespeed after using it.

Is Inciniroar or Primarina viable in end game? I kind of want one of them to be my first breeding project since I like them so much.

By endgame I mean will Smogon spegs want them if I do it right?

You have to evolve it into Silvally, then it can use the drives.
They didn't want to use the plates themselves because :downs:
(seriously, they could've. They could've just said something like "Type:Null was a mostly-failed attempt to create an artificial version of arceus" or something along those lines, but no.)

I can vouch for Primarina being good in the battle tree/battle spot. Here's what I'm running:

Awesome! I'll start looking into what I need to do to breed one of those up. I did soft resets until I got a female Popplio so when I go to bed or school or whatever I'll make an egg each time. Maybe by the time I beat the game I'll have the right nature and a few good IVs. Not that I know how to check IVs yet, but I'll get to it.

Because the memories do not boost damage like the plates do. Making Silvally even worse than Arceus in comparison. :suicide:

Strategy advice needed! Would it be more useful to have an Espeon focus on Reflect and Light Screen with Light Clay? Or would it be better to give it Work Up and Double Team to synergize with the Baton Pass it got as an Eevee?

Wow, I tried going back and playing XY and it was clunkier than I remembered.

There is no doubt in my mind now, Pokémon Sun/Moon are the first modern Pokémon games and there's no going back now. Full character models, full 3D movement, no HMs, environments that aren't grid-based and trainers who actually look around in 3D. The interface is so much better in SuMo (both aesthetically and in user-friendliness) and while some people dislike it there's a proper story and cutscenes. SuMo is such a leap forward in almost every aspect and I love it so much :kimchi:

I also actually liked the story for once. All the characters interacted with each other, there was a lot of humor and the story (as anime as it was) wasn't just the same old "We're Team Bad Guy and we want to take over the world with this convenient Plot Pokémon who just happens to live right here on the cover art" which they seemed stuck in. I actually cared about the cover pokémon for once, and instead of being used to destroy/rule the world we actually used it to save the two main villains, which was pretty neat!

I love the oldschool Pokémon games (I grew up with them after all) but this is on a different scale and I'm actually excited about pokémon again :3:
