I just slow walked from the first town back to my house and then fed it a candy. It took 5-10 minutes and was not difficult

Nemona is the best rival ever. first time I thought they were fun the whole way through and their reaction to losing the post-champion battle wasn't a bummer. Awesome.

Nemona is probably my favorite rival character to be honest (as has been said before she’s basically Pokemon Trainer Goku), I hope she gets a decent role in the new anime as it feels like you could have a lot of fun with her

I swear I took my tier-2 Palmachu to the front of the party the moment it evolved from tier 1 in the starter area and I think I then pressed "throw pokeball" to let it out (instead of sending out an order to attack/charge forward).

Then, I pressed the attack button a bunch to kill stuff (both of us on foot) and explored the starter zone for items until it leveled up from killing stuff and evolved. This might not have worked for me on the first levelup via slaughtering the local wildlife at this low level.

The pika-clone is supposed to be your 'Pikachu' in act1, if you aren't 100% about your starter for some reason. Just keep it out of the ball and don't be rude by outspeeding it.

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
If people are going nuts trying to find Palafin groups, hit up Reddit and there will be people posting link codes. I know, I know it's Reddit but it was painless for me, just hopped in, we waved at each other, evolved our silly dolphins, and bounced.

My favourite thing about Palafin is his little 'up up and away' air-punch gesture he does.

Related, I like the implication that Pawmi was Nemona’s actual first Pokémon (Pawmot is the only one out of its ball when you visit her dorm room during the postgame)

Speaking of rooms, I also like that the Eevees have basically completely taken over Penny’s
when i went into arven's room and it was all neat and tidy and he was like "of course i keep things clean!! mabostiff sheds all the time, so I clean every week!" i thought that was cute

when i went into penny's room immediately afterwards and it was a massive disaster zone covered in takeout containers, pet hair, anime merch, and all of her veevees, i had to put the controller down because i was loving cackling

Hell yes! I've been waiting on when they're going to release the newer starters in the raids! I just hope they actually put this gens starters in too, I Iike having all my ducks nice and in a row. On that note I'm breeding for a shiny Pawniard in Sw/Sh right now so if there's anybody who wants some 6IV adamant breedjects just let me know.

Speaking of shiny pawniard I just had a very strange experience. Flew to fury falls to fight some trainers there to get the earthquake TM, but as soon as i started moving I saw a group of pawniard around a bisharp, and one of them was shiny. Caught it right away and evolved it into a bisharp and then started to look for more packs to get it to evolve. Once I finish a battle with one I notice a shiny spidops in the background, which I also went to immediately catch.

These are the first shinies I've seen out in the wild in this game.

I almost have to think there's gonna be a way to get Hisuian Pokemon in the game when DLC eventually comes out. Some Area Zero energy or something as an item

the way that the DLC for this game specifically points in two directions (Kalos and Area Zero) makes me think we're getting a curveball on something

Brinkmanship

My daughter is excited because Scorbunny/Cinderace is her favorite Pokemon.

I'm not sure she knows "Cinderace" is the name of the Pokemon because she nicknamed her Scorbunny "Zanoff" for some reason and now if she sees me playing Pokemon Unite or something she'll ask "Ooo, is that Zanoff?"

EDIT: She played Pokemon Shield but she didn't know how to read so I would watch with her and do voices for all the characters. Now she's reading up a storm in Violet. :3:

With outbreaks you beat em' up in the hopes of getting a shiny spawn. In the normal overworld if you've eaten a shiny sandwich it should increase your encounter rate for a specific typing so just keep moving carefully throughout the area that pokemon would spawn in and check throughly. When I was hunting shiny scream tail the highest spawn rates were underground on the rocky outcroppings for example.

I got a Spriggy in my first wonder trade and just before I went to the Pokémon league I realized I had a grass/dark shaped hole on my team so candies her up and took her along, saved my rear end vs Nemona.
