So I guess to evolve Primeape you have to get it so angry it literally loving dies? I renamed mine to Twitter as soon as that happened.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Larry buddy you need to play the games you were doing this in the sonic thread too The multiplayer is actually super great, weirdly. The only jank is that if someone disconnects or you want another person to join in you gotta remake the entire thing. Once everyone is in the world though you can quite literally do whatever you want. I played all night last night with some buds and we were all just wandering around doing our own thing. One person was in a Team Star base, another was doing a gym, and I was wandering off way up north just exploring the world all at the same time with no hitches or problems. Each person has their own raid dens on the map (you can tell which ones are yours because they will have the proper map icon) and if you initiate one it sends a notification to everyone else in the world to join in. Even if they miss it they can just go into the tera raid menu and it will only show the postings of your squad. Same deal with trading you can just throw up an open link trade with no passcode and it is only transmitting to the people in the world with you so it's quick and easy to do some trades. Like no joke for all the jank of the game the multiplayer is astonishingly fluid and good.

Pretty sure I had a toy as a kid that did exactly this. It has taken me multiple hours to reach the treasure hunt. But I finally made it. My only regret is the Pachirisu that ran up a tree when I started a battle with a trainer, and me not knowing how to catch it up there. I still haven't seen another one. My completion. My 1% spawn probably.  And so on.

Shinies make the sparkle and sound when you start a battle with them, not when you spawn them in like in PLA. Source: "is that the lighting or is that a blue Shuppet staring at me?"

It's still generally quite a bit easier to find shinies in this game compared to earlier (normal)pokemon games just because you're seeing so many of them without actually needing to battle them.

When did SwSh or Arceus get their first patches, not counting the launch day patch? I hear mostly good things but also a lot of things that say to wait until some of it is fixed.

So I'm playing Scarlet and can't seem to beat the second gym leader (the water one) yet. I have a grass type Pokemon in my party (Capsakid) but it's a lower level than the gym leader's party. Is there like somewhere I can go to grind its level? Trainer battles seem few and far between in this game. I was gonna ask if there was somewhere I could go to catch a higher-level grass type, but if I caught one it probably wouldn't obey me. I've caught a couple level 30 Pokemon and they haven't obeyed me when I've had them in my party because I haven't gotten the gym badge to allow that yet. I started with Fuecoco btw, which is currently a level 34 Crocalor but is kinda useless against the water gym leader.

Scholtz posted:Spawns are a lot easier to game out now that you can eat food that makes certain types appear Oh, right. I read something about that when I was looking at the new shiny manip stuff. I'll probably unintentionally run into another one somewhere before needing that. But that'll be nice when I eventually get down to the last few things in the dex. Dhelmise took me forever to get to show up in Sword.

You can literally ask the pokecenter about where to go next, they'll even mark it on the map for you. I did the bug gym, then they recommended I do the flying titan and then the dark star base.

If I'm looking at it right, the grass gym is completely on the other side of the map from where I was  I was just exploring the area I was in and ended up at the water gym so that's why I assumed I was supposed to beat that one next. Why would they put the actual next one I was supposed to beat all the way in a different direction from where I was going?

Something I didn't realise because I was catching loads of pokemon but ignoring the pokedex - go in there and press x and you get a load of items for adding mons to the dex

IronicDongz posted:tbh I think the more significant thing than that is how it's an open world game where you are expected to explore, if you want to power through harder content earlier you can but for most players it wants them to feel things out and leave if it's too difficult I mean they were asking about how the game gives you any hints about that and they...do. and you can manually get more hints at any poke center with a option that appears in the menu you have to see to heal your pokes.

Now I'm on my way to the actual gym I was supposed to go to and I'm battling trainers along the way and crushing them because I'm overleveled. I miss the linear-ish path of the older games. I'm not into open world Pokemon I guess.

The game really does a good job of evoking that childhood feeling of wonderment when you explore. I saw a little cave like area in the zone just after the Bug gym and decided to follow that and boom, found a Charcadet The game would truly be at that next level if there was scaling for the areas as you go through challenges. You should be able to go after the gyms in whatever order you want if that’s what you want to do. Dynamic music also includes different tunes when riding on the dragon and walking

The game tries to make a big deal about "you can do these objectives in any order you want!" and that's kind of true, but there's no level scaling, so if you don't do things in the "intended" order you're gonna end up overleveling a lot of major battles. From the promotional material talking about how you can do the challenges in any order you want, I think everyone just assumed there would be some kind of level scaling , at least for major battles, but nope. That seems like kind of a no-brainer for the design philosophy they wanted to go with, I don't get why they aren't doing it.

Like anyone keeps a rotating stable of "type-advantage against the next gym" mons, as opposed to feeding everything wood-chipper style to their starter and just OHKO-ing their way through life, as Arceus intended. Also I love Steve (my Fuecoco)'s chunky little growl he does when he comes out to snap necks and cash checks.
