I maintain it's a stealth difficulty option. Hard Mode is when you buy the $30,000 Arcanine shirt (which I still have not changed out of for anything but the mandatory uniform sections) and Easy Mode is when you spend it on real items.

It was mentioned earlier for Flapple/Appletun evos that you can "grab the apple from the Wild Area" again if you want more evos, but I wanted to ask:
1) Is that really true or was that person getting it confused with the curry ingredient
2) If it's a drop, is the flavor always going to be version-specific (I assume it is)

Is there a way to gently caress with weather or do I just have to mess with my system clock

A handful of the last mons I need are "pray it's raining or foggy or overcast here" and it's such a massive bummer. I really was hoping to use Corsola in my playthrough as its a favorite but gently caress if it's going to be one of the last things I catch now :/

The following dates will mass override the weather in the Wild Area to all be the same weather patterns:

You can do these at any point in the story (dates are in US format):

Clear: 5/1/2020

Thunderstorm: 11/1/2020

For Sandstorm and Snowstorm you will need to be at least midway through the game. To unlock Fog, you will need to complete the story!

i'm already starting to develop a living pokedex in Sw/Sh since i won't be able to transfer all of my current living dex (which, granted is down about 10 guys, mostly event mons)

i think i have an illness. on the bright side, PokeJobs are going to make it significantly easier. I've pretty much non-stop been sending out as many pokemon as I can for either whole/half day jobs, and some of the EXP numbers you get are absurd. I think the highest I've seen so far is around 35k for one 24 hour job, which was enough to launch my level 5 gift Eevee/Meowth over level 30 without a single battle. I'm sure if I really wanted to I could actually train them, but this way they don't get any EVs, I don't have to spend any active time doing anything, and now that I'm done with the story, those jobs can be up to 30 at a time, which is definitely way more than I could do on my own.

Has anyone else had trouble determining the requirements for some of the more esoteric jobs? if they have a type it's pretty obvious, but when it asks for "cute" or "fierce" or "intimidating" or "solid and well grounded" i just kinda toss some up and hope for the best. Not to mention the weird one I just got that was just "kEeP tHiS tOp SeCrEt aNd YoU WiLl bE ReWaRdEd HaNdSoMeLy" in that really annoying typing pattern

will Pokemon in the box evolve if they hit the evolution level from a job? I hit one of those 35k jackpots too but I'm pretty sure it was with a ton of randos and I wasn't sure if one of them was near leveling up, and I've been gunshy with jobs ever since until I'm able to confirm

My game already stars Nessa. :p

I made my trainer number 666 when my husband pointed out I could do that. Number of the beast, baby!

I also got a shiny female Wobuffet fairly early on. I nearly didn’t catch her. Named her Lady Wa.

Trainer cards are great, but I wish we could put Pokémon in them too, like the photobooth from USUM. I had so much fun taking photos every time I won a trial or a friend evolved.

At the beginning of the game I was like, “Why did my mom give me so much money?!” Then I got to the boutique and I realized, “Ahhhh.... because of fashion!”

I also chose 666, because I didn't want to be generic with 69 or 420, but also hail satan

Breeding pokemon caught in different countries used to increase shiny chance. I dont know if it still does. Was called the masuda method

Speaking of shiny chance, I saw on Serebii today that there are now two unique shiny entrance "sparkles", one being stars and one being squares. One is 1/16, the other are 15/16 chance of the shiny having. So... yeah. Interesting stuff

Admittedly, I have not literally done it twice myself, but serebii says that the one under the tree on Axew's Eye respawns. I've only gotten one from that spot but I haven't been actively looking.

Ironically, the squares are supposed to be 1/16 but Serebii lists a "programming quirk" as reversing the odds, causing our normal shiny sparkles to be the 1/16 rarity instead.

It's an interesting addition, but more than two patterns would have been more fun instead of "the common one" and "the rare one", just give us a bunch of equal-odds patterns just for fun. I dunno, maybe something is going on with shines. Your League card tracks how many you've caught which is... interesting?

Well, cool. I'm guessing it's still your version-specific apple but that means I'll be able to get them from friends. I ask about the curry thing because before I knew the evolution method (I was trying to stay unspoiled) I had an Applin at around level 50 or 60 and had tried feeding it variations of apple curry, letting it level up in bright sun, etc. Ha.
