GOOFUS dismisses Venusaur as mere fiction and returns to more serious video games such as XCOM, Doom or Crusader Kings, while GALLANT believes in Venusaur and seeks its wisdom and protection to become the greatest Pokémon Champion of them all.

Zuzie posted:Given the trend since like Gen 7, I don't think we'll be getting the starters of the current set of games in anything other then regular Pokeballs until the next generation of games. Sadly you're probably right. I built up a huge stash of moon balls in sword and shield for essentially nothing.

I don't understand why Gamefreak hides so many fashion balls from us and also why every region doesn't have one or two of their own. it's fine I promise

Zuzie posted:Now if only the Pokemon company recognized the same and put them somewhere in every game. Venusaur is my favorite Pokémon, but I'm glad it's missing from this game. Chlorophyll + sleep is such a broken and obnoxious mechanic that dominated the VGC meta last generation. I don't look forward to it coming back.

Either that or they get off to the hosed up in game economy built up around them which is even weirder frankly.

Real reason is probably saving a little bit of devtime on modeling, animating, and testing stuff that the vast majority of the playerbase doesn't care about.

the balls are already in the game. you already get them as pokedex rewards. the dev time was already done, it's over

Beast Balls are also very rarely an Ace Tournament award as well, at exactly the rate you'd expect because screw your desire for fashion balls

Technically the Safari ball was introduced as a 'fashion ball' in Gen 8 as a very rare Cram-o-matic reward, so you could actually put non-Safari-Zone 'mons in one. I will forever cherish the line of Safari ball Bulbasaurs I created from that one hacked Venusaur i got in a wonder trade in Shield It looks like fart gas when the ball opens

Come to think of it I've got like a wealth of rare balls in Sword and Shield I never got around to using. If anybody ever wants one I'd be alright with handing em' out or catching something they like with them. Better this way than sitting in a bag for eternity at least.

I was grinding out for a safari ball with the cram-o-matic but gave up when after weeks I finally hit the 0.1% chance and it was the sport ball.

Yeah just let me buy Dream Balls for $100k, hell, even $1m, I don't care. I gather that I could HYPOTHETICALLY grind for the fashion balls I care about by... resetting my system clock over and over again? but those are depths I am not going to descend to.

Sport Balls are the biggest pain in the rear end because you have to send ‘em up from HGSS (I thought I could import from VC Crystal but I’m stupid) or luck into them in Isle of Armor

You and I are brothers in arms now. I did the same for a Roaring Moon with a lure ball.

there was a graphic explaining how to make tailored sandwiches for shiny hunting, can someone repost it? also does letting your pokemon fight in let's go mode count towards the increased shiny rate in outbreaks? also can you leave an outbreak and come back and keep your increased shiny rate?

I would care a lot more if it was something I could deal with post-catch or post-breed, but as-is? Yeah idgaf. I'm sure someone will post some dumbfuck take about how this makes fashion balling ~too easy~ or some poo poo but the world would be a better place if the particular brand of brainworms that make people think exclusivity is valuable would perish.
