It's not a joke, though iirc it was just one guy who kicked it off and the rest of it was the internet telling him he was dumb and wrong.

No memes outside of the meme threads is a good global rule, but it still makes me very sad that I would get probated if I posted the shocked Pikachu picture as a response to this.

Hey guys - I am a happy new owner of a Nintendo Switch due to an earlly holiday gift....

What I'm sorta curious about is the degree to which that Pokeball controller is actually... worthwhile or worth getting. I admit the idea strikes me as very cool and I am SERIOUSLY impressed with the controller(s). I would rather not spend like ~$50 on an additional accessory if it doesn't really add all THAT much to the game, however, so I am reluctant to purchase it, and would be very curious whether this is the correct decision

The Pokéball is not required and only adds a small level of immersion and a Mew for your game. I'd honestly say it's for serious Pokémon fans or just moderate ones with a little cash to burn.

I am the latter, and I love putting Eevee in it and taking her to the park.

Basically:

Gives you a Mew

A different controller (I really don't like it as a controller) + catching mechanic kind of sort of is slightly less horrible in docked mode.

Really easy way to level up a Pokemon

Also acts as a Go Plus for the Pokemon Go phone game

If these are worth $50 to you (or $40 if you can still find the game + ball bundle at $100), then get it

But it is not at all necessary to enjoy the game.

Really the game plays best in handheld mode and it was clearly made to be a 3DS game.

I got my guy evolved but I'll be happy to help you! You have to buy an online subscription from Nintendo and then you go to trade and enter a series of Pokemon as the "passcode" to trade with people. Once you've got online set up let me know!

A real hellraiser


The pokeball plus loving rules in Pokemon Go. If you have a Pokemon in it it automatically spins stops and gyms.

I turn in Pokemon go and sync it to the bank before leaving work, minimise it and turn my phone screen off, and when I get home I have about 20 pokestops worth of stuff. If you're going under 20mph(which I'm basically stuck going lower than that due to downtown traffic), you'll hit every stop.

Are you still in need of more Eevee exclusives? I have a bunch saved up for trading, and some of the Pikachu exclusives wouldn't hurt, either. :)

We have a goon trading thread here on the Private Games Servers forum, and I do pretty well on the active reddits for pokemontrades, too.

I like the idea of the Tamagotchi Eevee turning into its ghost evolution when you neglect it and let it starve to death in its own poop.

E: Eevee evolutions typically evolve using evolution methods that were introduced in the generation they debuted in, so clearly the G8 games will involve a Pokémon pooping and hunger mechanic.

The gotta poop screen notification will be like the old poisoned walking mechanic, until, well, they poo poo themselves. I presume that makes them worse in battle

Sorry but clearly the newest generation Pokemon game will be battle royale style.

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
Got 3 shinies in 3 days after reaching a 31+ chain. Took me about an hour to build to 31 and an hour to get the shiny to show up. I now have a shiny Magnemite, Lickitung, and Machoke. I have the shiny charm. I’m running low on money though I guess it’s time to run a train through the elite four a few times.
