I just realized that as of USUM there are 403 Pokémon in the Alola Dex, out of 807 total. So in Alola, of all Pokémon, there are 404 not found.

Its kinda subjective, the plot is mostly the same with some expanded ultra-space/necrozma stuff mixed in, a couple new pokemon. The postgame Episode RR is fun.

The Japanese don't get it until the Summer 2018 movie. Gamestop will probably have a distribution in the fall barring a rush to Generation 8 (or a surprise Diamond and Pearl remake for the 3DS to hold over Switch plans.)

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm a very casual Pokemon player (usually just slowly go through the game over the course of a year) and at first I felt kind of cheated by Ultra Moon because it is so similar. But I dunno the quality of life improvements are really solid and I'm playing on a New 3DS so it runs a lot better so that combined has left me ultimately enjoying it and even I'm not really playing these games for the story.

Being able to save by pressing X then Y immediately is the best QoL improvement I've ever encountered.

I'm in the UK and tried on 25th April to get Entei for Ultra Sun via Mystery Gift, but all I got was a message that the gift wasn't there. Are the US Target codes region locked or would I be able to get Entei that way (assuming I can even get hold of a code)? If not, could someone here from the US possibly use a code on their game and gift me Entei? I've never traded Pokemon so don't know how it works. I'll happily donate money to a charity of the person's choosing if someone's able to help me out.

Game codes and online giveaways are region coded, though it may change with the switch. Trading Pokemon is a matter of getting a friend code from another player, adding them as a friend, then going to the festival plaza and selecting trade while both players are online.

Missives from the Crystalverse return:

I think one of the reasons why I have such a soft spot for Johto is because of all the cool things you're doing all the way through that aren't really related to the gyms.

Getting to the top of Sprout Tower, finding the beasts, saving Ampharos, capturing Gyarados, swinging back to Union Cave and Ruins of Alph.

There's a lot like that in the newer games, but holy moly is there a lot of talking about every little thing. It's a lot easier to get in the zone in Johto than G6 or 7.

Just my $0.02, but it's nice to go back and realize why you're so fond for something instead of just having the feeling.

Time to team up with my boy Lance and wreck some house.

Ultra Sun has a pretty great pace to it if you slow down to find the Totem Stickers, sidequests, etc. I just evolved Rockruff at 5:35!

Next playthrough I'm going to make a team of Ride Pokemon; I'm thinking Charizard/Mantine/Machamp/Stoutland/Mudsdale/Solgaleo

The most important new feature added since those ones is wonder trading, which is where you do a blind trade with someone else in the world chosen randomly. The online features are accessed through something called "Festival Plaza."

I mean that definitely happens but tons of people put up breeding project rejects too. Which sounds bad but keep in mind "rejects" in this instance is usually things like "I was trying to breed a shiny Bulbasaur with the perfect stats and moves and it took 200 eggs to get one so now I'll wondertrade away a bunch of these non-shiny ones who still have perfect stats and moves".
