When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I still can't even use Home from my Galaxy phone. This sucks.

I tried emailing the support about it a while back. And they eventually gave me a stock reply that ignored the fact that I already told them I tried the troubleshooting they sent me back. And Google just says some phones just don't work. Having it available on PC would solve everything. :saddowns:

Breeding is a tedious TEDIOUS endeavor folks. However you reap incredibly rich rewards from the work. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have the patience for combing through details but wonder trading breedjects nets you some top shelf shinies sometimes. I now have a matching shiny Solgaleo to go with the shiny Lunala Kurieg so generously gave me.

Well I'm halfway to my living dex. I've completed the dex for Sw/Sh and LGE/P, and with a few others I've got kicking around I'm at about 500/890. Now I'm into gens I've never played before, so this is about to get interesting. Wish me luck!

So I'm done with everything but the battle tower and I don't care about breeding to try for perfect guys.

I've been doing raids so I can level to the 40 odd creatures I like but I want to make that more productive, so I got wishing pieces. Is the best use of that to search for gigantamax? Or should I be using them for something else?

I have made changes to my trick room sun team

Clefable out indeedee in. The terrain is so useful, so many fake outs, prankster Pokémon and priority moves. The thing is an absolute tank when it comes to special attackers

Grimmsnarl out Lapras in. Lapras is a great mix of attack and support potential and my team needed it, fits very well. Actually gives the team a 3rd mode - it can be TR, Sun, Lapras + weakness policy, or a mix

Jellicent out Dusclops in. Just trying out different trick roomers. Ally swap + snorlax is hilarious when it works, they try to hit your one weakness and end up trying to punch a ghost. Brick break triggers Lapras weakness policy

Anyway some small tweaks but I’m doing pretty well now in master ball with it!! Slowly climbing. I think this is a decent team now.

I bounced off those ones before the third gym for exactly that reason. It's just way too much.

I can't remember when they brought in objectives on your map, but before that you'd kind of be forced to read through all of that garbage so you wouldn't be stranded.

The map markers are the best QOL feature of Sword and Shield cause they let me mash wordy nonsense and gave me the ability to actually play the game while having a job and at least one other hobby.

I played the PMD demo and it’s definitely a huge improvement over the original in every way. I see there are moves from past Gen III (like Scald) but are there any post-Gen III Pokemon? Or is it faithful to the original in that way?

I still won’t pay full price for it so maybe if it goes on sale some day I’ll pick it up and start from where I left off in the demo.

It's not a one-shot, but Festival of Champions is a drat fine Pokemon fan-manga that turns the Indigo League from RBY into a full-fledged tournament with all manner of easter eggs, character cameos, and fanon woven throughout it

Oh cool, I somehow accidentally released my masuda method Ditto the other day. I legit have no idea how since I was planning on leaving that sucker banked at the Breeder's, but he's gone now. I'm going to see if my crazy pokemon breeder friend has a spare, and if not I'm going to just play one of these games in French I guess. Unless I get wonder traded another one randomly before I get to it (that's how I got the first one).

You know, I've been letting my anxiety get the better of me for things like that (one on one chats for some reason have been freaking me out lately) but I really need to push past that poo poo. It's hilarious that stupid pokemon trading is going to be the thing to get me out of my own head, but if it works it works. That's the Pokégoons Discord and not the Nintengoons one, right?

One thing I noticed with my new shiny Zekrom (courtesy of a kind goon in the Discord) is that they fixed the glowy parts of shiny Pokemon! I checked, and other things like Gigalith's blue gem bits don't light up in red (ie the regular version) anymore.

Any Pokemon that's in the same line as a Gen I to III Pokemon is in (for example, Budew and Roserade are in since they're connected to Roselia). Pokemon with no connection to Gen I to III mons (except maybe Lucario) are not in.
