Sword and Shield’s endgame just depresses me. I just don’t like raids enough to get into whatever is going on here. Which Pokémon game would you say is SwSh’s opposite when it comes to endgame content. Which one had you playing for tens of hours beyond the championship fight?

I'm still pretty sour about them not making a Ribombee plushie at some point. It even managed to be a Totem and they gave it nothing. I need Ribombee in my life

Kite Pride Worldwide posted:Yaaay my duck Pokémon centre not shipping to Canada is a drat shame, but it’s probably saved me a bunch of money. Though I did buy a special Chandelure line teacup and saucer for $50 back in Gen 5 because it was limited edition Halloween merch that I got shipped from Japan. The best part is the tiny Joltik hanging from a thread on the saucer.

I also loved the Gym Leader bar in the post game and would go there every day to level up mons. Black and White 2’s World Tournament. I went through the Elite 4 with every mono-typed team and tried the world tourney’s with each type too. I also got so many medals. Loved that post-game.

I just looked up the Emerald Battle Frontier and this looks awesome. Absolutely the kind of poo poo I want out of a Pokémon endgame. How hard is it? Can I reasonably compete with Pokémon found in Emerald or am I gonna need to being monsters from other games into the mix?

What the hell is with these NPC teams, Game Freak. A Hawlucha that feather dances(doesn't work on shields!), A Wobuffet, and an Eevee that spammed Helping Hand, including once on Wobuffet. If these things just broke shields these raids would be a cakewalk but I guess that's too hard to program.

For example who the gently caress puts a togepi out onto high level raid? Let alone a wobbuffet? No, they arranged these NPC teams to punish the player for not going online.

I really wonder if their online system even works in Japan. Like is the Japanese audience complaining about it as much as we are?

There's a Solrock that will spend 1/3 of it's turns using Rock Polish, another 1/3 of their turns using Cosmic Power, and the last 1/3 actually attacking. Heck the Wobbufett doesn't even have Mirror Coat, meaning it's completely helpless against raids with Pokemon that only have Special Attacks. e: and the worst part is that you are not even allowed to leave the raid to reset the NPCs. I've gotten in a raid with said Solrock, Wobbuffet and the Magikarp and I had to sit there waiting for the inevitable wipe lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Nov 29, 2019 |

And when they're next to a den making a calling motion does the game reasonably allow you to join their raid? Oh hell no, you have the press the Y button and play and fast and loose with it. And 9 times out of 10 unless that raid is near the very top of the queue it's a no go.

HGSS tends to push me into the triple digits in terms of playtime, and it's mostly around leveling up my pokemon for the gym and Elite Four rematches before kicking Red's teeth in BW2 has me grinding money at the Nimbasa Stadiums and making the most grind-friendly Join Avenue imaginable on top of going through Pokestar's movies and becoming a millionaire while cursing the PWT's RNG nature because what is making a competitively-viable pokemon - I made it harder on myself by only using my story team for themetic purposes and I unlocked the Champion League once, and never again, because World Leaders x10 is complete BS

The Wobb does have Mirror Coat it just prefers to use Counter most of the time. The only good thing about Wobb is I've never seen it actually die.

I found a shiny Lampent in a raid and the AI Salazzle and Heatmor tried their darnedest to ruin it for me by both immediately activating it's Flash Fire. Fortunately Inteleon was able to take it out before it roasted everyone.

I REALLY wish there was an option to turn solo raids into a double or triple battle against the thing. I get that they want to push multiplayer features, but sometimes it's 3am and no one wants to fight a 5 star bewear for exp candies

you know, it occurs to me that Rose's dumb as poo poo plan would've seemed less dumb, (like, say, gen 3 villain dumb) if there was more foreshadowing. As it is, it's like if most of the game happened, and then Archie showed up and went "yarrg matey, I'm gonna flood this place." Archie and Maxie were dumb, but seemed slightly less so because they at least had some buildup. e: what i'm trying to say is - plot twist stuff only works if the villain isn't a total dipshit. if they're a dipshit, then you need to let them chew the scenery for a bit, y'know?

It's a wealth of content in almost every way, and the post-game feels just as expansive as the campaign. Kinda making me want to replay it...

Nothing is as dumb as the gen6 villain.  Like the villains in this game are idiots but at least you can say their plan had good intentions? Making it slightly better than most crazy poke plans.
