yup, somewhere between Gen 6 and Gen 7 Game Freak figured out how to do realistically portioned models for characters. Alola as a whole is really great to travel around. the price? makes the 3DS chug like an old Honda

That mostly happens in battle though, and that's because it has one too many models and particle effects. In the overworld, everything works decently and it's visually stunning, definitely the greatest the franchise has looked.

I've only run into problems in when a third pokemon enters the fray. So double and SOS battles end up chugging.

When does the game get chuggy? Does playing on a new 3DS help? I’m only 3 hours or so in but so far the game runs pretty smooth.

I'm on a N3DS and it's basically as iospace says; when three or more Pokemon are on screen. So not too often, but when the game tries to do something fancy it falters.

The 3DS can handle 2 pokemon on screen no problem but the framerate noticeably drops when there's more than that. Having a new 3DS does help but it's not enough to eliminate it

If I had any complaints about the USUM so far, coming straight from ORAS is no nav dex, and no 3D in the Pokédex.

The DexNav is the best ingame peripheral this franchise has ever come up with. I hope there's something like in in Gen 8.

I do like that the Pokedex is an actual Pokémon with a personality and like the way it displays information overall. But yea, a dex nav would be awesome.

The Dexnav was never going to come back because GameFreak's MO is to have good ideas then never use them again. It's really sad.

I've also noticed it chug a little bit during 1v1 when it does the split screen effect while waiting for you to select a move.

the ultimate development in the entire pokemon franchise is Ultra S/M's option to press Y to save from the menu. like, that seems like such an obvious tweak in hindsight, I can't believe it took so long to implement

I'm just confused they felt hold items and abilities were to complex but EVs and IVs? Let's keep those

Those aren’t really complex mechanics though? Like, they’re both referenced ingame as “a Pokémon you’ve had for a while will be stronger than another one of the same type you pick up later” and “no two Pokémon will have the same exact stats”. You can min max them for competitive gain, but the actual idea has always existed for kids to grow more attached to their bits of data.

Cats cure all ills. Post more of them.

I'm going to grab the Korean Metagross distribution tomorrow, and if possible, grab it on both my US copy and my Korean copy of the games--should be, since I just have to connect to the wifi at the department store. If all goes to plan, I'll have an extra one of these:

"The distribution is identical to the Metagross used by the winner of the master division of the Korean National Championships 2018. Metagross is Level 50 with the Ability Clear Body. It has the moves Iron Head, Ice Punch, Bullet Punch, and Stomping Tantrum. Metagross also comes in a Cherish Ball."

If I do get the extra, I'll try and think of a neat giveaway thing for any interested parties, to say thanks for helping me get the year of legendary codes for my US copy of the games. :3:

It really looks eerily similar to Ditto, and if that's the case I don't think anyone really predicted that the new mon would be related to it. A new Eeveelution, sure. Maybe "Mewthree". But a Ditto cousin or evolution? What an odd choice for a preview.
