Do they take it as far as saying "even within the same generation there are different timelines?"

Like I knew there is a mega timeline and others, and that there is a multiverse thing going on, but I didn't think it went as far as saying the two versions in one gen are both their own timeline too.

But I guess that would have to be the case for this gen to work, a timeline/universe where Arven has a dead dad, and one with a dead mom.

Though, this was probably true in other gens too, I didn't play them all and I don't remember the plot differences between sun and moon at all. Things like different legendaries, you can explain that happening in the same universe, but not really this.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
I’m a little miffed I missed all the duping fun but I finally started Scarlet and like an hour later, I run into my first shiny, a Lechonk. Adorable.

You can click in the right stick to lock it to north and it'll persist through closing and reopening. No luck for the minimap though.

I caught a 5iv HA Cyclizar (with Knock Off and Dark tera type to stop Prankster shenanigans) and got an Ability Patch from the raid yesterday.

Feeling pretty chuffed still.

I need a good nickname, though. Right now it’s named Unlicensed after my boy Licenseless Rider but I don’t love it

If you're attached to the theme you could name him Satoru or Mumen. Licenseless rider is Mumen Rider in Japanese, first name Satoru. I like the Akira suggestion too.

Oh for sure someone here will breed you one. Post when you're free to accept a trade and I bet somebody has one. I am deep in breeding for shiny Azurills but if nobody else gets you soon I'll breed you a few up.

I got tired of not knowing where to get the evo item for Charcadet so I looked it up and it's... some NPC I remember talking to that said something like "bring me 10 Bronzor hides and I will give you something good"

wtf? I just thought "ok I'll do that some time after I beat the game" and forgot about it. If he'd actually said what I would get from him I'd have stirred myself to bring him the Bronzor teeth he wanted.

Game continues to be good, reached the "end" screen for the Titan and Team Star storylines. Have one gym to do. It's the one that's really high up in the south west. I think I'm going to massively outlevel it and it'll be an anticlimax. I thought you had to get the climbing power and climb up the big mountain, so that's what I did, but I guess there's a back way you're actually supposed to use. lol.

You've probably seen a ditto in the wild. They look like other pokemon nearby but act weird and if you lock on to them the name is different.

That NPC wants Sinistea chips, they’re annoying to get but Charcadet’s evolutions are insanely good.

Ditto is in the game disguised as other Pokemon but once you've caught one you can lock on and tell it's a ditto. Also I think they're supposed to disguise themselves as Pokemon that don't spawn in the area

Yeah, and they have opposite behaviors. So if they're pretending to be Chansey they'll be aggressive, if they're pretending to be Tauros they'll run away etc.
