I am extremely interested. I only just beat the game so I have jack and poo poo to offer in trade. :( I'll hop into the Discord when I get home.
I mean, I finished off my pokedex two days ago so I could get the Shiny Charm to get hunting, you don't have to offer anything in return! (other than I'll keep whatever garbage mon you Quick Ball and then give me, so that I have a 1-in-100000 better shot at the Loto-ID I guess)

HECK yes. Used that den resetting trick, got myself a 4iv Ditto and got one of the twitter Japanese folks to trade over one of theirs. Now the actual game can begin!
Oh god I think I'm double posting but tell me about these friendly Japanese folks on Twitter, I have two English 4IV dittos and would love a Japanese one in return.

Literally just put in "foreign ditto" into the search bar and you'll see tweets from them all the time. They almost all have a similar formatting in their post where they'll be like "give 4iv, want 4iv" and they'll usually have a screenshot as well. They also are really nice and are like "X means BEST" so they translate it for you too. They post pretty frequently. You wanna be quick about though cause everyone is looking for one.

Is Ditto tied into which region you're in like before every game came with language options, or is it just what language you start in? Because I was going to be starting a different file on a different profile anyway, since it's honestly easier that way to get a Grookey for us (no one in the house picked grass starter this time), and well....if just playing in a different language works, I might just jump a Ditto to someone else's game and then back to my own.

I'm very thankful for the random Frenchman I surprise traded with for yeeting a ditto into the void, explicitly searching one out sounds annoying.

canonically pokeballs explode if they don't catch, that's why you don't get them back. voltorb are pokeballs that came to life which is why they explode. the dog is actually running to the store to get another pokeball for you

ok I don't like it. Played it for ~30 hours now and it's way too easy. The design of most of the Pokemon sucks and those "dynamax" evolutions look like they are just a cheap way to introduce something new. "Uhh lets just make them bigger and let em glow. Also add longcat. "

Gamefreak still sucks and I hope they choke on the money.

Language options do work, actual region doesn't. (Grookey will be faster if you just jump on the discord and ask, breeding a starter is free compared to foreign Dittos)

honestly the 4 digit code is best for people like us here, who would ideally want to trade with someone specific without adding going through the rigmarole of adding someone new to their friends list like you needed for the 3DS games

it's still dumb you can't ping people on your friends list though

agreed on the friend list thing, but I just feel like 4 digits (which are not reserved in any way) is a hilariously low number when considering how big Pokémon is and how many millions of people are playing it across the world

you'd think they would at least go with like... 6 digits

Shaped like a friend

I want the patch that fixes online battles. I'm no good at them but I like watching them and after the 20 minute debacle got exposed yesterday on Shofu's stream I'm super bummed out.

Get this, in order to play 6v6 no matter what you're set to 20 minutes. You cannot change this and it counts down while your picking your move, and while animations for moves plays out. If the timer hits 0 whoever has the most pokemon wins.

Each turn you're given 60 seconds to pick a move, so that's one minute shaved off the clock. Then there's long animations you can force like Dynamaxing and whatnot. This means if someone wants to be a real piece of poo poo they can pick a full stall team with a bunch of walls that know protect/toxic/whatever and just.... waste everyones time for the w.

If you're switching pokemon in and out to counter someone you blow through those 20 minutes in a blink of a eye, and even when facing someone that didn't have a competitive team in a few fights he had he'd always go down to literally 40-30 seconds remaining before things auto-ended.

Spent close to a hour trying to find settings to fix this and there just isn't a way to make 6v6 have more time. The only one that raises the cap/gets rid of it is a 3v3 ruleset you have to get online and download for some reason.

Just bring back what was in x/y where you can look at your system friends and tap them to start a trade or whatever. The code thing sucksss

The codes are "good intentions, bad execution". It allows you to trade with a specific person without having to back out and add them to your friends list, saving both time, but as mentioned, 4 digits isn't enough. Six would have been fine.

Then I could do 069420 :v:

then you've just been lucky, I've intentionally stayed away from any meme or "easy" code and still a majority of my trades have taken multiple attempts to get connected with the right person even when we are coordinating on discord :(

It's nice in theory, but I've been on the same wifi as someone, sitting across the table from them - and somehow with both of us on the same code, it still won't connect us. There's something screwy in the netcode.

When this happens, connect to the internet and then disconnect back into local wifi, that seems to reset it and then it works immediately.

I've been playing locally with friends a savescumming raids and yeah, it can be a pain to get them to connect but resetting the connection this way seems to do the trick.

Show related, I poke at Netflix now and then to see what they have either natively in the languages I study, or dubbed into them, and I somehow never noticed Indigo League (and probably others, I didn't dig too deep) have the Spanish, French, German, and Italian dubs, on top of the English. Guess I'm watching Pokemon in German sometime soon!
