So, even if you trade yourself some mega stones, actually being able to mega evolve is still post-game, right?

farmable in the way they were in hgss where you had to hope for a rare chansey spawn, then hope it was holding the egg?

that wasn't fun. did make subsequent playthroughs way better tho since I could trade 6 back to my new file

What I hear is you have to SOS chain chanseys until a blissey appears, and then hope the blissey has one you can steal.

Still better than only getting one.

I might take you up on that, but I haven't started UM yet. I've just been looking at who I want to use this time. I'm looking at Litten/Jangmo-O/Roselia/Zubat/Cutiefly/maybe Rockruff.

You get access to the Fire punch tutor on the 2nd island, So Litten's actually a pretty good choice this time around.

Oh my god Rotom wanted to give me a nickname and it was a terrible nickname but I couldn't say no to my little pokedex buddy! It was so proud of it!

I'm really enjoying the expanded rotomdex writing, if you couldn't tell. In SuMo despite having a voice it didn't really feel like much of a character.

An Own Tempo Rockruff is supposed to evolve into Dusk Lycanroc if it reaches level 25 between 5:00 and 6:00 PM, but is that time the in-game time or the system time? Am I gonna have to get up at gently caress-you o'clock to make it evolve in Ultra Moon?

Use pichu to find other pichu faster.

Mine has a neutral nature but bizarrely one less sp atk than atk. Not sure if amazing atk ivs or awful sp atk ivs.

Nope. The sidequest is pretty cute too.

They added a ton of small vignettes/sidequests to this version. Its kinda weird how many there are.

Togedemaru is the Pikachu Knockoff that can actually stand up for itself. Decent stats, decent typing since it's part steel, decent ability that punishes physical attackers. Also it's an adorable mouse-orb. Though I feel the superior steel-ball rodent in Gen VII is Ice-Shrew: the living curling stone. Shame Ice-Slash loses the cuteness though it still is a solid pokemon.

Agree with you 100% on Raichu though. Ever since Gen 1, Pikachu has been the star of the show. From Ash's Pikachu beating up Lt. Surge's Raichu, to losing your buddy on the map if you ever dare evolve Pikachu in Yellow, to Pikachu getting a special snowflake hold item to make it nice and strong to all sorts of costume Pikachus. It's about damned time Raichu got something.
