How about Ball Capsules and seals, eh? *playing Platinum after a six year hiatus* "Man, why wasn't I using these things. They're pretty neat." PLEASE REMOVE BALL CAPSULE BEFORE DEPOSITING POKEMON "Ah, that's why..."

if they can make contests as fun as they were in gen 3, i'd want them back, but i think maybe that also requires me to be a middle school student with too much time on my hands to be true so invent time travel gamefreak

Walking Pokémon is cool/cute, but I understand why it's cut, i.e. space limitations. Also, it makes no sense with guys like Wailord who would be impossible to maneuver around with in anything but the widest paths. Ball Capsules were cool, yeah, but ultimately superfluous and poorly implemented. DexNav was definitely useful, and is probably the most egregious loss in the series. I got used to SuMo's system pretty quickly though and rarely missed it. Battle Frontier really needed to be in ORAS, no excuse there but time/laziness. Type Gems are a balance issue, I believe. Dynamic music is missed, but again, superfluous. PWT is the type of thing that probably should be reserved for once a generation in whatever the last games of the series end up being. It was a lot of fun, but isn't a priority for good reason. VS Seeker fits with the DexNav loss as being really frustrating because it doesn't seem like it would've been a big time investment, and was so, so useful. Pokéathalon is the only "mini-game" I liked, and I miss it, but it doesn't really need to come back. And a reliable way to rebattle Gym Leaders/Captains/Kahunas is always awesome, and should honestly be a thing in every game. Everything else I couldn't care less about.

Alright seriously, how do I catch Cosmog post game? I've read online that you're supposed to go to the shrine of whatever version you're playing (Moon in my case), at nighttime. Did that, wouldn't let me go in the portal. Then it read it's exactly at 6pm. Changed my 3DS clock. Nothing. Changed it to 6am. Still nothing. Can I ever transverse said portal or is the game going to just continue being a jerk to me?

Box legendary opens a portal that you go through, and once inside the portal, then go to the shrine. If you changed your 3DS clock, all the time-based stuff is put on hold for 24 hours.

But since you changed your clock, you're gently caress for 24 hours. Don't do that.

At max Evelup level, it's just over 1¼ days for a stat to be trained up to 252 with Beans, and you can do 3 stats for 6 pokemon each.

Zoness posted: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. To add onto this, what makes Trick Room so great is that bulky slow attackers in Trick Room are stronger in terms of stats than a fast attacker in normal conditions. And Alola introduced a ton of bulky slow attackers. Internet Kraken posted:Shield dust is a great ability because only garbage pokemon have had it before, causing people to never think about it.

I'm sure this has been covered many times in almost 800 pages but I went back about a dozen and didn't see anything pertinent. I just finished the main story in Sun, and I'm kind of in a limbo period in being able to quickly level up guys. I never did anything with Festival Plaza while I was playing through the story, and in a bunch of online articles I see that Festival Plaza has the fastest way to level with the rare kitchens. Apparently I need 5 star rare kitchens, so my question is A: how high of rank does my Festival Plaza need to be, and B: is the best way to level it just to sit and stare at the screen and wait to jump on missions that pop up?

When you rank up your plaza you're offered a random building to replace one of your current ones. Higher ranked buildings are more rare. I'd recommend grinding for enough points to buy a rare kitchen from a guest. Talk to a guest and ask them if they know any good facilities. You might need to have a plaza rank of a certain level though.

Hammerite posted: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. Yeah it's a cool idea. I guess they just felt like they needed an 'in universe' explanation as to why they have such wildly asymetrical stat distributions. The only pokemon before that that had similar stats was deoxys and it also came from another world. Zoness posted: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. It's dumb that they nerfed brave bird.It's not like talonflame was bulky enough for multiple strong priority attacks to be that big of a balance issue. Also they added additional anti-priority mechanics like psychic terrain and the abilities of the pomegranate and psychic fish pokemon.

They were fast, and real, and my friends.

Not exactly sure how good Talonflame would even be in this meta. It'd be the ideal Pheromosa counter but aside from Bulu all the other Tapus match up well. It could help against Celesteela and Magearna. All the other new OU additions would be too bulky for Talonflame to handle, even more so after the Burn nerf.
