No that actually helps thanks all the game doesn’t explain the core loop and that battling Pokémon was replaced by catching them and sending them to the prof. I wasn’t sure if there was like some kind of combining or something instead

Haven't tested it, but considering the exp bonus for catching a Pokemon for the first time, permanent exp share, and the large number of trainers I'm pretty sure that you could get through the game easily without catching a single Pokemon twice or using a single candy. Even without the overpowered starter, especially if you make sure to catch large/small Pokemon. You can get a lot of stuff out of catching Pokemon repeatedly, but it absolutely does not seem to be required or necessary. I think the whole replacing wild battles with a minigame is a great idea and I definitely wouldn't mind if they did it again for the main games, but I'd prefer one that did not use motion controls. Having them on the overworld 100% needs to be carried over no matter what. I honestly wasn't planning on using the starter Eevee, but they put a lot of effort into giving it character and it won me over when I realized the outfits and such you give it persist in battle. Hot tip, if you see a little waggle joycons icon outside of battle it basically has the partner Pokemon react to events in the game. There's a lot of charm in this game that isn't confined entirely to nostalgia. It may be "dumbed down" but that doesn't stop it from being real fun. If they keep releasing these as side games alongside the main ones, I'd definitely buy and play both.

Larryb posted:Yeah, the game is literally just Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow with a new catching mechanic (which is also the primary means of gaining EXP aside from trainer fights) and some minor story alterations. Just play it like you would any other game in the series. Not quite, the catching mechanic changes things slightly. Before you would just battle wild pokemon and only catch a few which were good or you didn't have yet. Now you go around catching everything in sight so you will end up with 50,000 zubats and pidgeys. You then have to go through menus to give them to the professor. This step did not exist in any other game in the series.

Anyone want to trade me a Koffing? I got pikachu version because the exclusives list they released before the game came out did NOT have koffing/weezing on it and goddammit I need one now. It's very unlikely I will get one in pokemon go because I don't live next to a dumpster or a chemical plant.

I wasn't sure if I would, but I've been loving Pokemon Let's Go! Glad I picked it up. Seeing Pokemon in the field so much better than random battles, this should carry over into the main games ASAP.

So I was skeptical but this game is completely adorable (and perfect for getting Go players into actual pokemon games) Also they finally got rid of those horrific screeching gameboy sounds

There was somebody a few pages back who wondered if you can still cancel Pokemon evolution. The answer is yes. The sign just south of Cerulean City said so.

In other news I finally found a Clefairy in Mount Moon after catching three Clefable. All boys, too, so that's some real RNG poo poo going on there. On my final trek through Mount Moon I also found a MOTHERFUCKING CHANSEY just toddling about without a care in the world. As I was about to exit I saw my first Onix (he's real big) but the little cutscene with Team Rocket interrupted my attempt to get him and when I gained control again he was gone

I know they changed EVs around in this game, but are IVs still the same? This game is The Actual Devil and gives you the ability to check your Pokemon's IVs freely from the menu which means you can stare into the abyss and see the garbage you've been showering with love for the past 20 hours in all their glory. But with Candy stats, if IVs are still only 0-31 then it's not a big difference in the end. So someone please tell me it's still 0-31. Not that it makes me sleep any better at night knowing the Squirtle I love is inferior. Note to beginners! You get a free Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur in Cerulean and Vermillion City. (Char+Bulb Cerulean, Squirtle Vermillion) They have great IVs. So don't stress about catching the rare ones if you don't mind waiting a bit. The Magikaro you can buy has good IVs too! (I confirmed with a friend of mine that these stay the same even in different versions/games.) Their natures can change though, but maybe you can reroll that. EDIT: For the record those IVs aren't perfect, just good! For example Charmander is HP Very Good / A+SPA Fantastic / SP+DEF Very Good / SPE Best. Of course I got bad natures on all 3 so they got sent to the Prof but whatevs. Cipher Pol 9 fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Nov 18, 2018 |

i think i accidentally ruined the game for myself me and my cousin were hanging out trading version exclusives and stuff and I started catching some Psyduck north of Vermillion because I needed some Psyduck, and i've been trying to get to chains of 10 for Pokemon so I can have some better stats on my guys, and he starts chaining Oddish on Route 15 to try to bring a Scyther out to play. hours and hours later, I have a 120 chain of Psyduck that mercifully ends when one runs from me, my cousin is bragging about his shiny Oddish that he got after chaining "just" 65, I am without a shiny and now all of my Pokemon are massively, game-breakingly overleveled. We're talking I am going to walk onto the SS Anne for the first time with a Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Pidgeot, and level 40 Eevee with perfect stats. Once you get to about 40 every Tiny/Huge pokemon you get is worth hella EXP and after I ran out of pokemon to evolve for my Pokedex I just kept catching them. and the worst part is, I didn't get a sky blue duckie so all I have to my name is a Psyduck with almost perfect (we're talking 4 perfect with two just a hair short) IVs that has ingested 100 of it's species' candy so it's more powerful than my Eevee that is more that double the level.

I was not enjoying the detached joycon controls as I'm used to handheld mode, and my brain was getting upset by my left hand twiddling the "move around" stick as well as the not-XYAB buttons. But then I started holding the single joycon in both my hands, using my right for the not-XYAB buttons and left twiddling the stick as usual and my brain was happy with that. Motion controls for catching stuff still sucks but now when I'm running around in the overworld Squeak will do cute stuff and find things for me (she just got me a Pretty Wing) which doesn't seem to happen when you're playing in handheld mode. e: I can also confirm that making Bellsprout your friend is a top move. She's so enthusiastic! e2: Squeak will also power up her friends with loud cheering in battle if you are playing with the joycons detached and shake it

I'm seeing screenshots of female Pikachus (not wild ones, the main one). Can you switch its gender somehow or is it a random chance when you start the game? Can it by shiny?
