oh my god I forgot that it was a 39 level gap between 'tiny cute eel that knows like three moves' and it's second stage.

Why do you hate the humble hagfish/eel, GF?

Because that's sadly Unova's entire gimmick - having way too many pokemon who evolve far too late and learn no good moves until post-game via TM

I'll defend the Unova mons for being fine at their game's level curve. But anywhere else, including breeding, they're garbage.

Given Mimey seems to exclusively do household chores and Delia treats her more like a second child that joke is a bit more uncomfortable than it already is.

Even within the game its pretty garbage and Gamefreak seemed to realize since they threw so many underlevelled evolved pokemon at you through events in B2/W2.

Yeah, they work only at the exact time and places they're found and in Black and white. Past that things get bad.

yea I'll defend Unova as a good gen but taking Unova mons and putting them literally anywhere else makes you realize how jacked up that generation's curve was compared to everything else.

I just know in some games if you don't pick one of the starters you don't see another of that type until like, the end of the game. I think it's D/P/Pl and fire types? Maybe I'm thinking of something else

my girlfriend can't wait to not evolve her eevee and dress it up in hats and bow ties and stuff so it's pretty obvious this is a game for people who don't give a gently caress about eeveelutions

This is literally me because I love Eevee. It's one of my gen 1 favorites and dressing up my character was most of Sun/Moon's appeal. Now I can dress up my player character in cute clothes and style my Eevee's hair/fur and give it hats and it follows me around everywhere and I can pet it and give it treats and we're best buddies?!!! I can't wait until I can play Let's Go tomorrow!

This thread is so awful from the pearl clutching over the "cutesy" attack names to the whining over an overpowered mascot buddy Pokemon to basically everything and doesn't understand why so many people are hype as heck for Let's Go on the most basic levels.

Honestly, I can take it or leave it on the Go-style catching mechanics, which is the least fun part of playing Pokemon Go for me by far, but the rest of the game is hugely appealing and seems lovingly animated and designed.

My Pokeball Plus arrived. It's going to take a while to get used to the controller inputs after playing on joycon for like 6 hours.

It's also sort of noisy? Anytime you throw a ball or something escapes the ball, the noises come through the ball itself. It also has a neat tune when you plug it in to charge.

Also it would be really cool if Game Freak decides to release optional Hard Mode DLC for Let's Go that amps up the levels/AI/moves/etc of trainers and adds back in abilities and held items, but it's never gonna happen. Either way, I'm going to love Let's Go. Can't wait!!!

Bought a copy of Let's Go Pikachu from a local shop. The game is actually pretty fun. It felt weird at first to not battle wild Pokémon, but honestly after the first couple trainer battles I became acclimated. Haven't tried out the co-op yet.

To the guy who asked about Eevee's move coverage earlier on, I'm assuming the question was about how many types it could hit for super effective damage.

No Eevee type will ever be super effective against Normal, Electric or Fairy, so we're looking at 15 types total.

Of those, Poison, Bug, Ghost, Dark, Steel, Fire, Psychic and Ice are only vulnerable to a single Eevee type. Fire and Dark will hit 6 different types combined, with 5 of those not being available to any other type. Fairy, Grass, Ice and Water all add another 3 types to that pool, but Water, Ice and Grass are all effective against ground, while Water and Grass are additionally effective against Rock. Ice and Fairy are also effective against Dragon, both.

An Eevee kitted out with Baddy Bad/Sparkly Swirl/Sizzling Slide/Bouncy Bubble would be super effective against a total of 12 types, as would one where Bouncy Bubble was swapped for Sappy Seed.

E: The latter combo would be Not Very Effective against a theoretical Fairy/Fire type, but the former would also hit everything for at least normal damage.

Mr. Mime is a good parent who took his family on a vacation and is now paying for Ash's tuition abroad. I will not stand for slander that he is anything else than Delia's partner who likes to eat out of a dog bowl.

Hard Mode DLC, but you have to jump through 20 different hoops to download it and 20 more hoops to activate it.

Ever since the DS, the first games Game Freak have made for a new system have been very poorly optimized.

So what I'm saying is, this is on brand.

And to be fair to them, this is almost certainly something they rushed out with a mostly B-team while their heavy-hitters were working on the actual next mainline game.
