All Pokemon should be their canon size in the game. If I'm able to see Joltik and Flabebe outside of the Pokedex, then something is wrong.

If you transfer a mint'd pokemon from sw/sh does it retain the mint nature? And if so does it really matter? You don't need natures to run the main story.

You're stuck with a hat in the default outfit but several of the variants don't have one.

well i've finally resigned myself to actually getting BDSP so now the question only remains which exclusives do i like more i've never actually used a honchkrow, i don't think, so i'm leaning diamond right now assuming the exclusives list is the same as the originals?

Serebii has an exclusives list up. It seemed like it's maybe just the fossils, and like, 2 other families outside of the legendaries. It's a surprisingly small list.

You can pretty much copy and paste a diamond and pearl strategy guide and get 95% of the main campaign correct without having to change anything. Just little things like some of the game corner TM prizes being moved to the department store and a few NPCs around giving stickers or items would need to be updated. The Sinnoh Underground is where things get a little messy with statues and such. Dehry fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Nov 17, 2021 |

So I was planning on getting pearl but some of the reviews concerned me. The last Pokemon game I played that I really enjoyed was Let's Go and before that HeartGold. I absolutely hate pointless time wasting features that most Pokemon games have, and I have a memory of enjoying Pearl, but apparently this remake is just kinda meh? So my question is, does Pearl have a bunch of pointless subsystems and mini games or would I be better off playing something like Black for the first time?hope that made sense

BDSP basically only has the same minigames and subsystems of the originals, i.e. the contests and underground. Both are completely optional outside of the first time as a tutorial. Though the underground is pretty great in terms of getting good items, and the Pokémon Hideaways allow you to greatly expand the variety of Pokémon you can catch. Plus the hideaways are just running around areas with items and wild Pokémon, so not really anything you’re not used to. The game streamlines the need for dedicated moveslots for HMs by making the HMs functions on your Pokétch rather than actual moves your Pokémon learn. Apart from that, and the use of the Experience Share, the games are essentially prettier versions of the originals. I’m not sure what you mean by subsystems, but in terms of minigames, I think (outside of tutorials) the only “mandatory” minigames are Pokémon-Amie to allow Eevee to evolve into Sylveon, same with the Sun and Moon equivalent, Pokémon Refresh. Other minigames like contests, super contests, the Pokéathalon, Pokéstar Studios, the Game Corners, curry making, Poké Pelago, Poké Jobs, Berry Blending, the Dream World…those can give you bonuses and items or make it easier to get certain Pokémon, but I can’t think of any that are required.

The game is Pokemon Diamond and Pearl with very minimal changes to gameplay. You get fairy typing and have to buy some game corner items from the department store since that's been removed but otherwise have the exact same campaign. The undergound and contests are both completely optional unless you're looking to catch all 493 Pokémon in game (After finding a feebas you have to max out the beauty contest stat for milotic and then legendary Pokémon appear through finding rare items while digging.)

Occasionally a gym leader or other important trainer might use one, but 95% of battles won’t feature them at all. It’s more of something you can use yourself (or not) and is essentially required for any serious PvP battles. But I’m curious what about holding items bothers you. Also, definitely play Black or White. Still my favorite of the series. Nanigans fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Nov 17, 2021 |

I assumed that poster meant wild/NPC trainer Pokemon holding items, not just item holding in general. I don't know about NPC trainers, but wild Pokemon holding items started in Gen III, so basically immediately after Gen II introduced held items.

Online, on sites, you know, on the internet, it says the pre-order bonus for the digital game is a Manaphy egg, but on Nintendo's own website, it says you get a "early purchaser" bonus of a Manaphy egg if you buy the game before February 22nd. Are these separate things? Is there a possibility of two Manaphy eggs?

The Manaphy Egg isn't a pre-order bonus, it's just a free thing you can get from the Mystery Gift option until February 22nd. There's only the one egg, but you don't need to pre-order the game or anything. Just play before the date that the event is over with.

Get the first badge, then returning to Jubilife City, the TV station will be opened up. One one of the floors a guy will ask a survey and the answer is EVERYBODY HAPPY WI-FI CONNECTION to unlock Mystery Gift. You also get the Platinum outfits for the characters as another mystery gift at the same time. Dehry fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Nov 17, 2021 |

It was the entire idea of held items, it just makes me go into minimax mode and not play the game. Sounding like I need to play Black though. Shame it's so expensive

But some items are pretty basic and helpful. Hate getting paralyzed? Throw a Lum or Cherrim berry on your mon. Don’t like getting hurt by sandstorms or hail? Throw on the Safety Goggles. Doesn’t have to be a min/max thing at all. Also, for B/W, you could just…

I remember for my Sword preorder that it shipped much faster than normal so I'm hoping that happens again. Otherwise it takes as long as fedex ground takes to get to you from Ohio.
