A local game shop offered to let me trade in my Pokemon Heart Gold + Pokewalker for a copy of Pokemon Sun/Moon. Should I be taking this deal? They're a legit shop but I just wanna know whether I'm getting stiffed.

What are some useful websites for catching Pokemon and whatnot?

I'm about to fight my first trial in that cave and I still haven't found any Pokemon that I really want to use yet. Sucks that all the cool stuff often come mid to late game.

I have never been able to find an intuitive way to remember the type advantages/weaknesses of the Fairy type. Like, it just doesn't make sense to me what it's super effective/weak again. Anybody got an idea?

to be fair, Gen IV was the absolute nadir of HMs with 8 you had to work onto your team. That's 2 entire pokemon's movepools.

also it meant you always had to have a water type since surf was so ubiquitous.
Surf is a legit good move though. And the games are packed with water types. It was never a problem.

First Pokemon I met on Route 4 was an Eevee and first thing it called was an Umbreon. :c00l:

Stoutland Search is insanely annoying to use. Will I miss anything important by not using it at all? I don't care for potions and such, thinking more about TMs.

Is there any reason to turn off Exp Share if, say, there's a Pokemon in my party that I don't plan to use? How much EXP am I "wasting"?

You don't lose XP by using Exp Share, it's just extra. I turn it off to preserve some difficulty.
That seems insanely overpowered. They would have done just as well if it reduced the EXP that the active Pokemon got.

Just found Wimpods and was so loving happy to finally have a fast but defensively weak Pokemon to use. Then I checked what it evolved into :cripes:

Just caught an Oranguru. When they were registering its Pokedex entry, there was a blank slot next to it, like where evolved forms usually go. But Oranguru doesn't evolve... right?

Say what you will about the new games but I'm glad there aren't insanely long sections where you face only Zubat or Geodude or Tentacool anymore

Did you know you could tap on the opponent Pokemon in battle to see their type?

How have I not known this until now, I've wasted so many attacks on Pokemon with weird and unusual and unclear types

e: this works only for pokemon already in your pokedex, sucks

It's kinda lame to fight Guzma several times within a not-very-long span of time. They need to learn to save up their Big Bad.

They take two steps away from grinding and one step back. It seems challenging for them to conceive a system where you could get cool and good things without doing an incredible amount of mind-numbing repetitive tasks.

I've been doing a dotting exercise tonight by taking stock art and doing it in the style of Yellow's sprites. Some have turned out well, but others are...grotesque.


Pokemon yellow had the best sprites

They may have sorta done away with the hierarchy of types, but it’s still frustrating that some Pokemon are completely useless. Who can actually use Ariados or Farfetch’d or Dunsparce?

Some of them have gimmicks and that makes things somewhat better. Like Chimecho can use Heal Bell. And Sableye has no weakness. But many are just pointless or irredeemable.

I think it’s lazy design.

Why is Flygon a ground type. Its pre-evos I understand but isn’t the thing basically a giant dragonfly

I’ve played every game but have zero ability to discern the generation of post-4th gen Pokemon. Like you could show me any one of them and I couldn’t tell you which gen it was from.
