Does changing the system time affect how once-a-day events refresh? I fixed my system time last night and nothing at all has refreshed today. No berries, no Festival Plaza stuff, no battle buffet, etc.

When it comes to Ultra Beasts, how many of each do you catch? I want to know how much thought I should be putting into their natures, I kinda want to actually try battling online this gen.

Gamefreak's continual one-step-forward-two-steps-back school of game design is really annoying. Why do so many cool features have to vanish between gens every time? Would it kill them to just make a game that has all the cool stuff in it or do they actually spend time in each design period brainstorming which usable new feature to take out for the next generation and replace it with garbage?

People care about the Berserk Gene? I mean it was an interesting item in regards to Mewtwo and its backstory but it was basically a self-inflicted swagger in the form of a held item.

I got an Adamant Kartana and a Jolly one, now what should the other two be? Maybe I should catch a duplicate and just trade it away to get a Celesteela, since I'm having no luck trying to give this Pheromosa away for one. I like how the ultra beasts all have crazy stat distributions.

cancerianmoth posted:However that could be an excuse to promote trickroom- BUT then they don't do anything to help trick room along like an item ala heat rock/smooth stone. missed this post earlier but trick room is in the best place it's been for a long time this generation. VGC2017 matches have mons setting and unsetting trick room instead of just playing around it. Porygon2 is insanely prevalent even on teams that don't focus on TR just because it can reliably mess with the opponent's TR. In singles Trick Room is doing insanely well in the 6v6 ladder, probably the best it's done since gen 5 with Reuniclus and Bronzong. Vikavolt and Alolan Marowak are monsters in Trick Room. This would be the best generation for Mega Ampharos, if only Ampharosite existed (also Mawilite). Trick room is such a powerful effect that lasting for 3 more turns would be potentially insanely overpowered, because how well a pokemon performs in trick room can be adjusted for each pokemon on an individual basis, rather than in a preset fashion like synergystic abilities/typings for weather. Also there is an item for trick room - Mental Herb  .spit on my clit posted:they should make giga regigigas and make his ability slow terrain, which is just trick room, while keeping the effects of slow start do not make trick room even less preventable than it already is, looking at basically unpreventable trick room setters like the grumpy ape, the computer duck, a witch, or the cute clockwork girl (this one isn't usable in vgc or battle spot of course) actually do this to make it easier to unset trick room Zoness fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Dec 29, 2016 |

In a game with like two good hold items, it's definitely bad. I think a reason given for not including features in future games is to make each game "unique" so you have a reason to go back to them if you want to use old features. It's a bullshit reason and I think Pokemon games are mired too much in developers that care more about the experience~

I really do miss the Dex Nav being able to make sure you catch decent Pokes with cool egg moves for the story was a lot of fun. It did make the game quite easy though.

Ignite Memories posted:Does NOTHING one-shot oranguru? Tapu Bulu and Vikavolt definitely can, but fake out protection is a thing, and it also depends on the Oranguru's defensive spread for special attackers. Golisopod's First Impression is also a potential ohko but that's not really reliable. That's why Porygon2 is better in a lot of ways, barring taunt vulnerability. Crosspeice posted:It's a bullshit reason and I think Pokemon games are mired too much in developers that care more about the experience~ If "the experience" also includes the reason that the dex is filled with unusable trash that you encounter early in the game I agree. Give us Staraptor again, who has returned to his rightful place as the king of early bird mountain (although he contends with the brave challenger Mega Pidgeot). Also I want the triumphant return of Emerald's Battle Frontier or B2W2's Pokemon World Tournament. Zoness fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 29, 2016 |

I have a perfect, bold Mareanie with merciless, is it worth it to try and catch one with regenerator instead for Super Singles? Regenerator seems to be *the* ability people use on Toxapex, but I really don't switch out much in Battle Tree. Maybe I should be switching out more? Merciless seems fine paired with baneful bunker and maybe toxic spikes.

Maybe I'm the weirdo but I really like their design paradigm of different features appearing only in certain regions. It helps each game feel unique and creates a different experience every time, and also gives old games a lot more nostalgia-replay value.

Merciless seems fine paired with baneful bunker and maybe toxic spikes. merciless is pretty useless on mareanie/toxapex, its direct damage is pitiful. baneful bunker and toxic spikes are also just mostly worse versions of toxic, the overall best set for Toxapex is Scald/Haze/Recover/Toxic. switching out is pretty much required if you get taunted by something that's not afraid of scald burns.
