- Pokemon Home being a charged service. Yeah, it was expected, but I REALLY hope upon Pokemon Home being released Pokemon Bank becomes a free service, cause otherwise you'd be paying $20 for switch online, $5 for Pokemon Bank, and whatever they decide to charge you for Pokemon Home, to STILL not being able to completely play with all your Pokes.

We still don't know this for sure. It's a likely case, but they have not officially said anything about whether or not Pokemon Home will cost money or how much if they do.

Hmm. It wasn't in the articles I checked before posting and I don't remember seeing it in the Direct, but maybe it was one of the things that got cut off if you saw it live.

Can your player character Pokemon evolve in PMD?

I'm kinda leaning on Meowth, but I'd probably just be boring and be Charmander if it evolves.

Yes, but they restrict any evolution to post-game, and evolving the main characters can't be done until after the entire story is finished. (Meaning if the post-game has a relevant story, you have to complete that first before you evolve.)

In Red and Blue, anyone can evolve once post-game hits since there isn't really a 2nd story in post-game.

There are a couple second stories in postgame in Red and Blue but they're all loose threads that all lead to different places and only very vaguely have to do with the actual main plot.

No one said it, but the Home logo had the caption "This is a paid service". It was really easy to miss, which is really scummy come to think of it.

That said, we still have no idea how it'll work. I keep hope that you have to pay for it only if you don't have Online already.

I try having my Pokemon cover each other so I'm using Torchic/Chikorita but honestly MD isn't hard enough to kill you for choosing the wrong mons. Even less so now that you can freely change your leader and moves seem to be way stronger from the get-go than they were in the original Red/Blue Rescue Team.

Crown Tundra is a snowy area similar to Sinnoh, has ruins with new Regis similar to the Regigigas temple in Snowpoint, and re-adds Garchomp to the game?

Of course, we have no idea if Galarian Slowbro and Galarian Slowking even have the same BSTs as regular Slowbro and Slowking. Then there's the fact that its HA is still Regenorator, and I don't think the Galarian Slowpokes given out have their HAs, just their regular abilities (Gluttony and Own Tempo).

Ok. Great Pokémon day got even better. Hatched a shiny Eevee after like 200 eggs with no shiny charm. My second shiny ever. I was breeding a HA Eevee, but still managed for this to not have its hidden ability.

You know the more I think about it the more I'm bummed G-Cinderace isn't the standard design. It really fixes the major bits I didn't like about it to begin with enough that it could easily compete with inteleon as my favorite starter. Alas it's most likely going to be dropped in a gen.

Do we know if there is any save data transfer from the MD demo to the full game? I am guessing no.

Also I probably should get back I into Sword sooner or later. Didn’t get far but liked what I played.

Honestly at this point I'm just buying time till I can transfer my breeding dittos from HOME. So in the meantime I'm trying to get a full gold currydex and catch a defiant falinks. It's literally the last pokemon I need so if any of you have one I would be very grateful if you could to trade me a breedject. 10% spawn rate at both dens. Godsakes.

So they did have info on Home. Launching next month, and it's a paid service. Wonder if we can import datamined but unavailable Pokémon such as Jirachi, Meltan, and Popplio.

I got to the Wild Area today and spent way too much time catching Pokemon and doing Max Raids.

There are so many mons I want to use that it's tough to keep them all leveled even with the Exp share. Between participation and level scaling, it's really well implemented so things don't get too bonkers. I think I'm aiming to get them all ten of them to lvl 16 then I'll go to the next town. Trying not to get too overleveled but I don't wanna get destroyed either.

I'm playing on Set for the first time and being forced to take a hit to switch Pokemon rather than being able to swap into something that can handle it automatically makes such a difference.

EDIT: Is Pick-Up reliable enough to be worth keeping around? It seems that with the Fisher folk in the wild area being willing to throw $$$ items at you for a pittance of 100 watts, I won't need to keep this Meowth around after all. But it is tough to turn down free items and I sure do want to abuse its G-Max move for Gym leaders at least.

I thought it was quite helpful in the story, but don’t worry about it if you don’t want to use Meowth. Zigzagoon also has it, which I used the entire game.

Espeon has consistently won the award for best eeveelution since 1999 but its shiny is a sorry abomination. Sylveon all the way.
