It doesn’t. If you have a Dark Gardevoir and a Fire Gallade for example, the baby Ralts will have a 50% chance of being Psychic or Fairy.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to go back to your house later in the game and does your mom give you anything if you talk to her (also can you visit Nemona’s house since you fight a little bit outside of it early on)?

I've been watching the new Netflix series with my kid and I had no idea that there was like three series with four seasons each. That's a lot of mons.

Anyways I hope that Ash and Goh enjoy their domestic partnership going forward in the new series as bickering old guys reminiscing about the time they caught a God with a pokeball.

For the actual games, I wanted to try and make a living dex of the pokemon in the game, but this is physically impossible with the box system. How do people pull this off? Do you have to transfer to Home and back?

I’m nearly done with my living dex and I appear to have plenty of space, even organised by type!

Yes that was me, I'm not expecting Shakespeare but goddamn am I glad they're finally letting him go out to pasture. I was resigned to another season being all about him again.

I think your mom gives you some sandwich recipes or something? I forget.

You can and should visit Nemona's house if only to learn how old money her family is.

You just get more without any in-game fanfare; it doubles twice so you end with 32

Muscle Tracer

Medals only weigh one down.

Specifically, the trigger to get more boxes is having at least one pokemon in each box. So if you want to skip it, just put one in all eight, then one more in the eight more you get, and you'll unlock all 32.

I normally don't care about the human characters in Pokemon games much, but now that I've finally completed all the routes routes I can safely say that I care about arven, penny, and nemona (especially Arven)

I just started Area Zero and the cutscene where you all fly down to the bottom together got me all "yay! Journey with all my friends together at the same time!"

This is the first pokemon game since Red that I remember the companion names. They are all delightful and have personalities. I love the baby's first Ocean's Eleven of getting them together for Area Zero.

This is the first game that the friend group all feels vital to the story and like they have something to contribute. The closest competitors I can come up with are the gang from Unova and Alola, but even those made a plot point that at least some of the crew really wasn't suited to be involved in these events. I guess it helps that they all have their own separate sub-quests and interact before joining in on the last leg of the journey.

GF didn't make the mistake this time of forcing you to spend loads of time with them from the start. Instead you get through a few scrapes with them, learn a bit about them, and by the time it comes to go into the crater with them you have come to care about them organically. It's much better writing than say, the friend gang from gen 6 where you're saddled with them from the get go and you spend the whole time you're around them thinking "well why do I care about these losers anyway"

Oh God you hit the nail on the head. Looking back I remember feeling horrified when I originally thought we would all be traveling together as group and all I could think was I don't like any of you people. I found our opposite gendered rival to be one of the worst because their mental state breaks down the more we beat them. I almost wished there was an option to turn them down for fights because I didn't even want to deal with them any more.

Yeah they finally realized that the number one way to turn someone off an NPC is to make them annoying. But apart from the opening scenes every time you interact with the friend squad here it's because something that benefits you mechanically just happened. Whether it's beating a Star base, getting a new movement ability, or defeating a Gym, they're always involved in moving your forward towards your goals instead of bogging you down. And then at the end they come together and they're in conflict *with each other*, with you as the center of the group, which humanizes them more. Especially between the two Not-Nemona characters. They grow to like each other more in a short period of time, but because there it isn't completely perfect from step one it feels more natural and less forced.

I actually disliked Arven in the first scene with him, because he came across to me as some kind of edgelord. And by the end he was my Friend who I really wanted to help out.

Saying their "mental state breaks down" is way too serious a way to describe someone being sad about losing and getting more serious about winning next time
