I certainly hope that Meltan and Melmetal become available in the main series games at some point. I don’t like the idea of certain pokemon being exclusive to certain games. Particularly if the games they are exclusive to are the ones I don’t play.

They will, Pokemon have never been locked to a single game, only forms have. That said, how they will be obtainable is a lot more questionable, they may need you to connect directly to Let's Go just for Game Freak and Nintendo to get more money. But even if that happens, someone will cheat them in eventually, so whatever.

THERE'S NO TIME!!!
Would it be too greedy of me to ask for some pokemon in exchange for codes? I would really like a shiny poipole (from a redeemed code, so I can have a shiny Poipole and Naganadel.) Other than that not really looking for anything in specific just some cool stuff for my budding collection. Looking for things like perfect IV stuff for breeding, pokemon that are hard to catch, starters (at the moment especially Piplup and Chimchar) or pokemon with cool moves you cant get anymore. I'm trying to build a collection before the next mainline games on the switch.


I have 2 Poipole codes, 2 Zekrom/Reshiram codes, and 12 Latias/Latios codes.

Eh, Arceus/Mew/Celebi and a few others were de facto unobtainable for at least a generation after their release unless you lived in some very specific parts of Japan.

Or ones that you can't get outside of events. I just only finally got shaymin and arceus, still pissed that I missed that fighting ghost dude.

Not to mention evolving it! Needing 400 candy in a bad AR game, which expects you to grind a ton, is a terrible way to obtain an exclusive pokemon.

E.g. being 3,000 years old yet having an electric wire for a tail.

It's either a time traveler or planted by an advanced alien civilization back in the day.

Kalos built an immortality device and then turned it into a giant death ray 3,000 years ago, I don't think electric wires are that far-fetched.

I'm fully onboard the Meltan/Melmetal train. Not enough to buy these games and download PGO again, but enough to prove steel type is best type.

Apparently Meltan was designed to fit in with the Gen 1 designs which is why he's so simple.

I guess that choice did not apply to Melmetal though, that guy is a beast and he's the best

So, is the poke pelago the only way to get a round stone? I wanted to use happiny, and evolve it but dang... that's quite awhile to wait. Would I be able to trade for one?

Bulbapedia says that 50% of wild happiny hold one. So get a pokemon with thief, or just keep catching them until you get one.

We thought you could get togepi by using strength on the wall in that part before victory road where you have to surf while showing he guards your badges

I occasionally pick one up from those ambush encounters of Chansey in the Poni Wilds. When the battle ends there's a small chance that they're left behind.

Oak considers "apples" to be one of his discoveries because he saw them at the grocery store. Basically, anything that enters his field of vision becomes a "discovery". I blame it on Alzheimer's, I hear he can't even remember his own grandson's name anymore :smith:.

Remember that Elm supposedly gave you the first ever Pokemon egg discovered in history. I'm pretty sure researchers in that world consider things discoveries if they themselves have never seen them before.
