Appearance, or?

I don't know he's my favorite of the starters, he wasn't very strong in SuMo either

To evolve goomy all the way can you just have a sligoo at level 41 and be in the rain for it to trigger or do you need to level up sligoo in the rain?
you do not need to level up once you satisfy the evolution conditions in this game. you can walk to the moss/ice rock with a freshly caught eevee and instantly evolve it right there.

This is Canada. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three.

Today I learned you can both spawn and fight two alphas at once if you get lucky (or unlucky if you don't have anything to face them with)

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?

The professor has little habitats for the starters in his office. A little tree for Rowlet, a tank for Oshawott, and Cyndaquil is chilling in a little hearth. So cute.

Honestly I'm so glad Prof. Laventon is just what he appears to be and acts like a sweet dorky dad to your character. If he was some double reverse secret agent poo poo I was going to be pissed. Actual secret villain of the game is excellent though. And his behavior, while I'm sure it's meant to be endearing it's actually subtly creepy enough that you pick up there's something really wrong with this guy long before what's he's up to comes out.

I snuck up on an alpha tangrowth in the grass at night, waited for the perfect opportunity for at least 1 full minute, then beaned it in the back of its head with a heavy ball and caught it on the very first go.

Yup. He gets creepier as the game goes on and I just kept getting this vibe that he wants something from me and is just barely managing a facade of pleasantness until he gets it. Fun thing is the reverse happens with Cyllene becoming more protective and doting of you to point she actively worries about you dying. Some characters in the game have big parent energy and Volo ain't one of them. It's like he's forcing it so he can get you alone at an inopportune time.

I tried to stun then use a heavy ball on the alpha blissy and apparently they did not like being pelted with rotten acorns as all ten of my heavy balls didn't work. This game is so stupid and I love it. It's everything I've ever wanted from a pokemon game, except good graphics.

It's pretty funny when you're trying to snipe a flying pokemon and they go from 30fps to 15fps to clash of the titans fps to 15fps then 30fps as they circle around their domain.

Oh look it's my review in nutshell. I mean yeah the graphics are wanting but in comparison to the previous game it's absolutely beautiful. They're still finding their feet for an open world but by God they are getting there at least.

Pokemon legends is several little steps forward but no steps back and that to me is huge.

This with some city and gym progression like mainline game, and the graphics of BOTW: the best game of all time. Hopefully they take the hint

Out of curiosity is it because you didn't like the game you feel it's necessary to pull the passive aggressive schtick with everyone here?

i wasnt being passive aggressive. i was very directly agreeing with the premise in the post i quoted. i would very much enjoy that game and i think it would probably be something everyone with an interest in pokemon games would enjoy regardless of their feelings on arceus. now, stop being a weird little freak.

they should make this game but instead of having combat tacked on and catching ralts 40 times it's just free roam pokemon snap. and tighten up the graphics

I like the catching but I do hope a sequel would have it so that you can fill research levels largely from sidequests involving specific pokemon or unique interactions. Especially for rarer pokemon.

Some of the pokemon AI in game isn't too shabby. I mean it's not pre-set Pokemon snap levels of good but it's definitely better than what you get in most mainline games. I really liked the fact that Pokemon in game were not having my poo poo when I failed sneaking up on them. Even if I ducked behind a rock they'd still be glowering at me until I awkwardly shuffled away.

There's no perfect way to do it, but some basic "do this to make a Pokemon dance" or "when these two Pokemon meet on the field they fight" animations could be possible
