I don't have the game on me now to find the exact name/stars, but there are certain lottery stalls that always give the same reward the first time you use it after it opens; one of them always gives a big nugget, one of them always gives a bottle cap or gold bottle cap. once you find a person who offers to introduce you to that stall, you favorite them, give them the coins to bring the stall to your plaza and use the stall, guaranteeing you get the item you're looking for. then you replace that stall with the other one you want, and repeat until you're out of festival coins or you have enough of whatever you want.


e: here's a guide that may explain it a little clearer, it only has the bottle cap stall and not the big nugget/gold bottle cap one though. I forget what those are called

My favorite part of Incineroar was people of culture immediately noticing he was a heel due to the design sheet and calling out that it'd be Fire/Dark, a neat combination. Then every schmuck out there went "uhh bipedal and muscular?? that's a fighting type" unable to grasp what a heel was no matter how many times it was explained.

Not to mention those who got so ferociously butthurt he was wrestling themed that they refuse to acknowledge he's a dark type and insist he's fire/fighting but with a different label. It's like my dudes I get it, you wanted a sleek quadrupedal tiger. This wasn't it and that is indeed a bummer but it's still a perfectly interesting serviceable pokemon with a fun gimmick. My heart got ripped out when Spritzee's evolution didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but I still bred a good cleric Aromatisse because I eventually got over it. Granted I'm still waiting on a plague doctor-esque pokemon but what can ya do?

In the alternate timeline where Incineroar is a quadruped, people hate it because it's "boring" and also "not cute".

I can tolerate him but he seems just a tad more cartoony in his proportions than most (maybe it's the huge hands?) and that makes him seem off to me

but I always prefer the more animal-like pokemon and Incineroar is basically a guy in a fursuit

He's somewhere between badass and goofy as gently caress I can't help but love him for it.

The way to go is to get a VIP guest who offers you a Level 2 Lottery Stall of the kind that gives you a regular bottle cap (forget what it's called). Every time you level up, take the new stall Sophocles offers you and overwrite the lottery stall with it, then go to your VIP and get the lottery stall back. A Bottle Cap for the cost of 100 FC. You don't really need a way of getting gold ones once you have that set up, you can get regular ones at a decent pace.

It has to be level 2 because the level 1 gives you something else on the first try.

Paras and Venonat will always have a place in my heart as Gen 1 cuties, and there are good bugs from later gens (Shuckle and Dwebble are great), but Joltik is S tier. Really looking forward to the gen 8 bugs.

I hate most G5 Pokemon and think G5 in general did a lot of stupid things but Joltik is the best Pokemon ever. Tiny fuzzy tingly buddy who can fit in the palm of your hand. Unlike Tynamo, the other cute little guy who captured my heart, he even gets cool when he evolves instead of stupid. Galvantula ended up being my favourite friend on my Black run-through where I chose stupid ugly Emboar. (Smugleaf was the superior choice and I went with him on my Black 2 run.)

Remember when people legit thought this thing was getting into Smash because it'd make a feasible echo for Gardevoir (who was "leaked" as getting in) and would be a source of Gen 5 rep?

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Joltik wasn't even the cutest bug in gen V


Gen V had a handful of lines that had three stages needlessly (Reuniclus did not need to be three stages for example) but in general I felt it was one of the strongest gens. I do think some of the names we got are a lot more awkward though. Stuff like Throh and Sawk, while to this day still make me think of different pronunciations than intended, remind me more of the beta names for Gen 1 then something they would normally come up with. Pokemon names shouldn't be one syllable I guess.

Im assuming this will double as a general pokemon thread for now?

In SM, does the Exp share reduces the amount of experience the main pokemon receives?

Does the experience the other ones change based on how many pokemons are in my party?

Both are nos. Your main Pokemon still gets full exp and the others get the same amount of exp regardless of how many Pokemon you have.

Get used to switching pokemon, because every pokemon that participates gets full exp while the Exp Share is active
