If you've gotten your hands on a ditto may I request a baby Sprigatito? If you have a shiny you'd like in return I'm sitting on a hoard in SW/SH and Legends. Flopsy fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Nov 14, 2022 |

Scholtz posted:Oh yeah it was a joke based on the Running Shoes key item, introduced in Gen 3, which allows you to run when holding the B button. You used to get them after anywhere from 10-20 minutes of agonizing slow walking everywhere until in Gen 6 where you started getting them immediately Don't tell me I won't need to do some silly quest to get a bike voucher anymore

So for the Tera Raids, if you choose “Battle as a Group” do you need multiplayer for that or can you use computer controlled trainers like in the last game (and if so, are they any smarter than the ones in SwSh)?

An Actual Princess posted:battle as group is multiplayer. if you pick battle alone you get AI buddies So returning to my second question then, is the AI any smarter than it was in Gen 8? Also is there a means of telling what level the Raid Pokemon you’re going up against is beforehand? Finally aside from the gym challenge how do you go about starting the other two stories in the game?

I feel like I'm 11 years old again, but better. For the first time since like GSC, my three best friends and I are all getting S/V on Day 1, and it's one of their birthdays that same day. We're all gonna get together (wives, girlfriends and dogs are invited too) to eat pizza and wings* and play co-op all night. But now we're grown-rear end adults with mortgages and poo poo, so no one can tell us to pipe down. I can't wait.  *I'm trying to convince them to just buy a bunch of deli meats/cheese and baguettes and make a shitton of sandwiches instead, to stay in theme.

An Actual Princess posted:dunno, didn't raid much in gen 8. they don't seem super smart tho Gotcha. So while you can go anywhere right from the start I assume the game at least gives you some sort of recommendation on where to go next (be it a marker of some kind or as a line during a story sequence)?

When I was younger and GEN1 was all that existed, I clued in to the fact that my pokedex-guide told me there was a pair of non-evolving psychic pokemon species that were vaguely humanshaped - one named Mr. Mime and the other looking like a blonde female opera singer. At the time pokemon genders and breeding hadn't been 'discovered' yet, but it was fairly obvious to my kid-brain that this was a dogs = boys, cats = girls situation

It was kind of interesting to see Mr. Mime get a Psychic/Ice variant though, matching Jynx in that way many generations later E: speaking of variants, excited to see how viable Hisuian 'mons will be

Mr Mime's Japanese name isn't gendered at all, nor does the mon look more Male-leaning than your average stick figure. I think it was just a weird localization coincidence

If anyone is still fielding questions who has played the leaked roms, are there any good proper dungeon segments? I didn't like that SwSh especially didn't have any area where it felt like it was a maze or you were trapped in a challenge, it was just a straight run down whatever route.

Jynx wasn't meant to be a Mr. Mime counterpart, she was a counterpart to Electabuzz and Magmar, but whoops the whole blackface controversy stopped her from getting a Gen IV evo like they did.

An Actual Princess posted:titans/herba mystica: there's five of them and each one gives your rideable pokemon a new ability. 99% sure you get the abilities in a set order and doesn't matter which titan you kill. first is swimming, second is dashing, third is high jump, fourth is gliding, fifth is climbing vertical walls. I got dashing as my first ability so I think they are actually connected to the specific titan.

On the titan point order does matter I think I beat the crab first and got dashing

They're also the only Gen I 'mons that learn the elemental punches aside from Hitmonchan, and they also all have 'Boo' in their Japanese names. (Okay Jynx doesn't have it in her name but beta Jynx did so it still counts.) They're also right beside each other in the Pokedex.

Re: Abilities The first titan to the west is Swimming as an ability. Everything advertised so far assumes you start off going to the east from the city, but there's an equally weak gym leader and titan to the west.

I didn't like that SwSh especially didn't have any area where it felt like it was a maze or you were trapped in a challenge, it was just a straight run down whatever route. This and the difficulty were my two big questions so yeah if anyone can weigh in on this, that'd be great. I guess it might be tough for them to make a treacherous mountainous path or spooky forest when you can just up and fly away or whatever. Would be good if they could have caves and stuff though.
