Well you see. Different backpack manufacturers have different pockets. Alolamom couldn't afford the backpack with ball pockets and the extra free space.
She also couldn't afford one that her child can ever take off in a fashion shop :sigh:

(yes I get that it saved them modeling without a backpack)

There is one but only shows up during battles.

Gen 3 had the best designs, no contest.

Bullcrap dude, that's where a ton of people skipped out on Pokemon until X or Y came out, there were some real clunkers in that generation.

That was also the generation where you weren't allowed to transfer any of the good pokes from your old games, so you were stuck with the B-team rejects so forgettable they got beat out by loving Yu-Gi-Oh! at that time

That generation was a dark one for Nintendo

Gen 3 also was timed for right around when the people that played Gen 1 & 2 were in high school, and would have been mortified to play a game for babies.

I played Gen 3, it was fun, but I don't think it had anything on Gen 1 or Gen 2.

I'm probably going to swing by my GameStop after Christmas and pick up a used SoulSilver (no walker), because Gen2 is probably the one that tickles my nostalgia the most.

Gen 3 means a lot to me since it's where I really got going despite starting with Gold. I played those games religiously when I was young and I loved the interplay between the Gen 1 remakes, Emerald, and my copy of XD to maybe someday finish the Pokedex. It was an incredible time of my life and I can never downplay the effect it has had on me.

Gen 2 inarguably has the worst new Pokemon. Gen 3 had issues but they were no worse than gen 2 or gen 4's, it got skipped by people because the initial wave of pokemon craze had grown up but not enough to just play the games they like

Kinda dumb question, but does Pokemon Sun have a particular Pokemon that I should be saving my Master Ball for? Maybe Solgaleo or is there something harder or more inconvenient to catch?

Necrozma is kind of a pain in the rear end, I just saved it for that because it's the last legendary and they tend to be the biggest pain.

Alternately, Tapu Fini just because it's obnoxious to deal with Aqua Ring.

Necrozma's got a much lower catch rate than Solgaleo.

Pretty sure there's a couple mons Necrozma can't even touch, so it's just as easy to go wild on him with Dusk balls and a little patience. Save your Master ball, never know when like a fuckin shiny Abra will show up.

Or yeah, if you plan on soft-resetting for good Tapus, fuckin just use it on Fini. It's a bitch to catch compared to the other three, and the Master ball color-matches with it somewhat.

Save it in case you run into a shiny that escapes or explodes
