I had a Kingler named Cakes who really carried a lot of water in my last Nuzlocke. So I vote Kingler.

I've been poking through Gen IV and V's MIDI tracks and the instruments used have far more of a kick to them than the 3DS and on games do, and that saddens me

Although I do adore Xerneas/Yveltal/Zygarde's theme from XY

The gym leader theme, Marnie's theme, Piers' theme and the battle tower theme are real standouts this gen. I appreciate the style of previous gens but they made some real bangers without the midi constraints.

Because it would require them bringing back something from a previous gen and we all know that's forbidden.

in past gens the answer for not bringing back walking pokemon would generally be "it would be a lot of work to add walking and running animations for every pokemon", but. sword and shield has walking and running animations for every pokemon. it uses them in the wild and in the pokemon camp area, as well as having 'react to thing' animations for talking to them

so i dont know why it's not in this one

Because your small thing is not nearly as small as you think.

And Pokemon following you happened in literally one game 10 years ago.

They can't just plop those into the game and say "done!", it's a lot more work than that. And considering this game was rushed out as it is they probably has more important things to worry about.

So, what's the easiest way to get Roost onto a G-max Corviknight? I haven't had to do any complex breeding this gen since it shits out so many high IV pokes straight out of dens.

i know how game development works, it just seems bizzare that they made all those animations for every single pokemon, both walking and running, and then did nothing with them in sun/moon

that is an enormous amount of work done on something they didn't use for anything

with the huge amount of man hours spent animating 800 pokemon like that it seems like they'd want to actually use those in the game, especially when it's in a way people constantly ask for?

its not like it was something cut for dev time, because if it was they would have brought it into UltraSun/UltraMoon and it's not in there either

With the 3DS games it was probably more of a hardware limitation than dev time. The games chugged real hard in 3v3 battles afterall.

My all time favorite Pokémon track is this triumphant trumpet tune the anime would break out anytime Pikachu used volt tackle at the end of an episode. I’ve never been able to find it and not entirely sure it wasn’t a fever dream.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Perhaps they had plans for something similar to Sword and Shield's Camp for the Pokepelago (dozens of boxed Pokemon running around the place), but that fell through due to the 3DS being unable to handle all those models at once.

A couple other random questions:
-Anyone found any use for Eject Pack? It seems like a great item for a glass cannon that can blast out Overheat/Draco Meteor/Superpower and dip out real quick. Probably more useful than White Herb?
-Do Absorb Bulb/Cell Battery actually absorb their respective attacks and give the boost? Or do you still take full damage and just hope your guy survives?

Just put something else that knows Roost into the nursery with Corviknight (make sure it has a free move slot) and kill time for a bit; it'll learn it eventually.

You can't pass GMax with breeding anyway.

Specifically, you need to put another Corviknight that knows Roost in with the G-Max one, otherwise it won't work.

Track down a male Pidove, they learn Roost at level 36, and breed him with a female Rookidee and that should be all you need.
