Hop is just Ash without protagonist powers.

Ash never gave up after 6 league losses and a bunch of gym losses, and eventually became champion. Hop gives up after 1 league run.

I'd pay $$ for DLC that just let me run real fast instead of bike so I can wear my snazzy outfit.

Better yet, Pokémon mounts that don’t require riding gear.

I wanna ride a Mudsdale while dressed in tartan, or a Rapidash while wearing pastels.

Pokedex complete wooo! Time to get my usual suspects to 100 because I really enjoy raiding endlessly while I listen to audiobooks or podcasts now that I don't need to worry if it's a 'mon I don't have or not

what are the most desired Shield exclusives I can breed up to help goons out and pay it forward? I'm gonna fill a box with Solosis at the very least

Whoa whoa, Hop realized his passion was in something else entirely and chose a different path to pursue. As all rivals should.

Hop is hamstrung by his anxiety, clearly, because the final fight where he just wanted to have fun and didn't think he'd beat me was the one where he basically nearly whipped my rear end

I suspect a lot of Shield havers experienced the same thing, Zacian really is just a straight up upgrade

Anyone able to help a guy finish the dex by providing a Turtonator and a Gothita? Can offer pretty much anything else if needed.

Finally seeing something you need pop up as a max raid battle and then failing to join the group is pretty brutal. I suppose failing to catch the thing would be even worse though.

very sad that I couldn't really figure out a way to have Falinks in my main team

is there a clear winner between Gardevoir and Hatterene? I went with the latter because it's new and I like the design, but this is also my first game since red/blue so I've never actually ever used Gardevoir in a game

stat-wise it looks like a wash

Gardevoir is way better from a pure gameplay perspective.

Hatterene has a better hidden ability, but Gardevoir's over twice as fast with similar defenses and only slightly worse offense. And while Magic Bounce is broken, Trace can be pretty good too in the single player campaign.

I got a gothita for you if you throw me a shield exclusive. Give me minute. To get my switch. Link code 1704

Edit: got it searching for you

No but Gallade can learn hypnosis and false swipe. Plus sunny day to prevent weather damage killing a wild pokemon.

I trained up a Gallade to be a pokemon catcher but between Quick and Repeat balls there's not really any need

I replaced Hypnosis which almost never worked with Swords Dance to make False Swipe beefier and it was waaaaaaay more viable. Didn't know about Sunny Day tho, would've made all the hail weather pokemon a lot fuckin' easier tho I'll say that

Stop being such goons, you CLODS!

Hey so my brother and I have been spending time together playing through Pokemon fan games. We know about Reborn and even if we looked past the insanity it's too "hardcore" for us. We are about to finish Insurgence which we both absolutely love to death. We plan on playing Infinite Fusion, the newest version of Glazed, and Uranium too. Are there any others that are as good as those and finished or mostly finished? Fakemon are okay as long as they're cute or cool.

This link system is absolutely dreadful. My SO and I have been trying for 10 minutes to connect to each other and our devices refuse to connect, despite having no problem joining each other's max raids. We can't see each other's stamps or anything.

How does technology keep getting better but the trade system in Pokemon continue to get worse?

I just had my first trade interrupted by some random palooka using the same link code. It is seriously mind-boggling. Is there a way to directly trade with friends or is that too complicated for Nintendo?

Because the technology may have changed but the lead people in charge are from 1996

Breloom, but they done my boy dirty with Dexit. Spore, Focus Punch, Substitute, False Swipe Breloom had been my companion for generations.

Gallade has been my Capture mon, with Hypnosis, False Swipe, Life Dew and Mean Look.

This has happened right? Trying to google confirmation of this is a loving trainwreck as all the results is full of detective pikachu, pokemon go and how to find Red in Sun and Moon.

Remakes should take a B/W approach and exclude all non regional pokemon until the post game.
