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.
Oh good! I haven't found a Zigzagoon yet but I would definitely use one over Meowth. Although it seems to lose it after evolving into Obstagoon unfortunately. But that's still a good replacement. Thanks!

There's something wild about Game Freaks 'we're cutting pokemon for balance reasons' excuse and then they go and add Lando-T back.

Sylveon cares almost as much. Can't screw over Substitute abusers without Pixilate Hyper Voice. I second the Umbreon suggestion.

I'm tragically indecisive so I usually reset PMD game three or four times before I figure out a starter-partner set I like. And there's always at least one round of "I love Treecko I should be a Treecko/oh poo poo grass is weak to l i t e r a l l y e v e r y t h i n g."

Weaknesses and resistances are toned down a ton in the Mystery Dungeon games. In Super Mystery Dungeon I not only played as snivy, I used four grass moves because the utility from them was better than what I'd get by branching out for better coverage.

I took balance to mean “we want to have an equal representation of types and gens if we can’t put them all in” rather than a competitive thing.

Maybe I'll box my team and roll with a new team using Kubfu as my starter in Isle of Armor.

And now that I used a full Galarian-only team for the main story, I can run with any combination of Pokes for the DLC portion. This is a real good decision.

Glad we got Klara in Sword.

I don’t think you can get Obstagoon until near the end of the story. The time of day is dictated by the story, and pretty much nothing happens at night until then. There’s a scene at a hotel earlier on that takes place during the evening. I wonder if you could leave and evolve him then.

Oh, and my friend convinced me to evolve the Eevee into Umbreon. Espeon is far and away my favorite Eevee evolution, but I already have a non shiny Espeon I’m pretty attached. Plus, I’d rather have the HA. Even then, I’d probably go with shiny Sylveon.

It does, that's how I evolved mine. I realized he was past due, flew to the wild area, gave him some candy, and bam! Obstagoon!

It was along the lines of '400 pokemon are easier to balance and work with'

I'm unable to look up anything right now as I'm on the road, but I fully admit I might be confusing it with what the masses were repeating forever. I just swear that I've seen that floating around forever as one of the given reasons for the cut and why people were arguing back and forth on "cutting doesn't actually matter, it'll just be a new selection of guys showing up forever. It doesn't fix anything!!"

E: Am I the only one that likes Avery more out of the two Rivals? Dudes a total goof and I love his silly pokeball hat gimmick. Haven't seen Klara but all the art I've seen for her leads me to think her personality is "I am cute" and not much else.

Nope, and as a Sword-haver I'm sad about it. :(

Maybe Klara will grow on me like Gordie did, though.

Any indication the PMD DX demo's save is going to be playable in the full game when it releases?
Mostly just to determine how much thought to put into naming the team.

I was certain Eldegoss was a middle evolution that would turn into something more interesting. But nope; mono grass with nothing really interesting about it. :shrug:

This gen was kind of lousy with mono-types now that I think about it.
