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

Pokemon get full experience for participating in battle regardless of the EXP share in Gens 6/7. The only thing the EXP share does is give them 50% if they didn't switch in.

Golisipod is a good boy, but unfortunately runs with a bad crowd. He is banned from the list until he finishes his community service.

Someone redrew the Gen 1 Red/Green sprites to match the official artwork and here's a video comparing them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4UjvvsSbGI

Some are more or less identical but others have...issues.

EDIT: Huh, I never realized the Dragonite family were after the legendary birds in the Pokedex.
EDIT2: Actually they're not all Red/Green sprites(Pikachu, Mewtwo, ect.). Looks like they chose whichever was worse between Red/Green and Red/Blue.

Some of these are impressively close to the official art given the limitations of the console, and others are loving lol forever Charizard.

I believe they sent Gothitelle back to OU after a ton of debate, since the Shadow Tag setup somewhat fell out of vogue in recent meta. They're still a big deal, though!

I know snails aren’t “bugs,” but I adore Magcargo. If you pet his shell he burns your hand and he has a cute dopey smile. He’s also covering my fire and ground attacks while BusBug covers electricity, ground, and bug attacks. BusBug is also adorable.

Technically speaking Gothitelle can be played in OU. But unfortunately Shadow Tag is banned from the tier. iirc it's in PU cuz it's that worthless without its HA.

I still love Gothitelle's design beyond it's busted ability. Really comes off as exuberantly sassy and that is what I adore about that Pokemon



Also my top 3 bugs are Heracross, Volcarona and Pheromosa. i can't wait for early gen 8 OU to enable me to use 'mosa again

Exploration is ill-advised.
I wonder if being on a 'main' console for once will spell some significant differences for a Pokemon game. They've had console spinoffs before (Pokemon XD and all) but not mainline entries. Might be on a bigger scale than previous Pokemon games.

So I bought Let's Go Eevee at launch, played through Vermillion or so, then put the game on hold because I'm easily distracted by other things. I hit Silph Co. and the game's been a really fun time. I'm loving the reinterpretation of the ancient RBY routes with modern graphics and also current design principles. The cutscenes can be very fun and I was cracking up at the Celadon Game Corner lift key bit with Eevee. It's great stuff and I can see the love and passion the staff has put into the game.

The game's been very easy murdering most stuff with my Gyarados, Venusaur, and Eevee most of the time... but man, suddenly the level curve at Silph Co. hit me hard and stuff actually hurts my Pokemon for good damage. Maybe I didn't fight enough trainers or catch enough Pokemon. But it isn't all that challenging and should be okay.
