May the sacred flame guide me... Or something like that.

something I noticed while making this(and a few times earlier) is that in some artwork, Mightyena's nose is black, like the one used here. But most of the time it's red, including the original gen 3 sprites.
what's up with that, where does this black-nosed mightyena art come from

Late reply but a decent chunk of gen 3 mons went through some colour changes, like Mightyena having a black nose early on, or Zangoose having purple claws to match seviper's purple scars in early art before being replaced with black ones, or Kecleon having different shades of green, etc.

Is there a place to spend BP for poo poo in the game since there's no battle tower? I've got hundreds and hundreds of points of that poo poo sitting in bank waiting for a new game to dump them into.

Yes absolutely. The towns all have shops specifically for it and thankfully a lot of rare stuff like mints for example is a lot more accessible this time around.

Finished main story.

Out of curiosity can you transfer mons between games using home or is trade strictly required? I'd like to use two starters in my first playthrough and am willing to buy two games to do it.

how do you acquire it in this game? like you can spend it but with no Battle Tower, what, is it a reward for the postgame tournaments?

I think they mean is there a thing like for Sword/Shield where you can send BP to the game from Home and then use it to buy stuff.

They won't implement Home connectivity for several months. They always wait a few months before adding it.

Not what I meant at all, the answered my question right on!

I was wondering if there was BP in game at all since there's no battle tower, because I've got a lot spare and sitting around.

Seen screenshots of shops selling mints, ability capsules, bottle caps and so on.

They weren't super expensive either (iirc mints were 20,000, ability capsules 100,000), although I haven't played the game so for all I know money is less plentiful than it was in previous games

In that case could I kindly ask someone who got an early copy to breed a sprigatito for me? I don't care about stats or nature or anything really I just want that for a grass type.

I'm leaning towards Scarlet and my one complaint is that Koraidon's type coverage overlaps one of the starters, and Miraidon's doesn't!

Yeah I noticed the trick that's cross-versions get paradoxes of normal lines that are in the other versions.

Does the game do that thing they sometimes do where the third starter is given to you at some point late on? I want to play with the grass and the water starter, so I need to get someone to trade to me whichever of those I don't choose. If you get the third starter, then I guess in order for the third to be the fire starter I need to choose grass and have someone trade me the duck?

I'm not really too bothered about version exclusives now that online trading makes it super easy to get the ones you need from the opposite version so I was going to get Violet since I just like purple better than red. But then they bamboozled me with version exclusive professors where I like the Scarlet one better so idk. I guess I'll learn to make do with daddy Turo.
