Since Team Skull is probably going to be involved with the Legendary I hope it's unintentional. Like I want the reason you have deal with the bat/lion is because they vandalize a sacred monument or something and then they try to fight it.

No. Mainly that it sticks and tries return to its favorite spot no matter what, even if it means it'll starve to death. They're chucked back into the ocean so they can get some food, and because tourists find them ugly.

I hope there's a second part where I can tell off tourists for insulting my sea cucumber friend.

Yep this is what I resorted to. Got lucky Burn RNG on Geodude, and surprisingly Onix's AI is very scripted (Bide, store, store, Release, Tackle, Screech, Repeat) so I just exploited that for an easy win.

THANK GOD he only gets Bind on Yellow. Sure they reduced Onix's level, but they gave him a beast move.

edit: I forget, R/B/Y have some "must catch X number of Pokemon" gates, can someone list them?

Bulbapedia to the rescue:

Route 2 Gate: 10 to get Flash
Route 11 Gate: 30 to get the Itemfinder

Hey so the Japanese website has been putting up old Pokemon with some new descriptions like for Pinsir it says something about Vikavolt being their rivals in Alola. They just put up Arcanine recently:

http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160826_02.html

I'm posting this because one of the leaks said there would be water type Alolan Arcanine it was also the one that said there would be fighting type Alakazam. So unless they decide to have both, water Arcanine isn't happening possibly along with whatever was in that leak, which makes me sad because I wanted to see it.

Can someone explain what is so bad about it?

From the post in this thread it sounds like the difficulty is busted, someone posted about a part where you have to do continuous battles without any items (don't know if that means in between battles or no items period.) It also sounds like it is optimized poorly with people posting famerate issues.

Pretty sure this only ever worked (and still does of course) if you have more than one game. Put it up from X for something specific and uncommon that you have in AS, switch games, and make the trade. I do it all the time because for real, gently caress trade evos.

Nah there was a way to do it in Gen 4 at least, never tried past that. What you needed to do was put a trade evo mon up for trade, request something impossible because the next part could take some time, then find someone who wasn't also requesting something impossible and complete a trade, next take back the pokemon you put up for trade and once you do it would evolve.

Did XY even have stakes? I remember Lysandre's dumbass loving plan involved the uh, Pokemon powered laser was it? But I don't remember if there was any urgency to it outside of the moment in between the two battles with him

Nah, the evil scientist that controls the laser doesn't even fire the laser until you come along so he can be a dick and give you an option of two buttons that do the same thing of firing the death laser.

"It appears that the Aether Foundation is also conducting research on these Ultra Beasts."

If not straight-up villains, there's no way the foundation will be completely on the straight and narrow. They're very conspiciously white.

The Japanese trailer even showed they have their own grunts. Aether is super suspicious.

With the way the Ultra Beast are being advertised as a new threat it would be cool if the box legendary is something that helps you against them instead of being a tool to help a madman's plot like every game past gen 2.

Holy poo poo, got wonder traded a pikachu with the pokerus. I have never seen it before and I've been playing on and off since the original Blue. Busy infecting my whole team.

I picked Mudkip (AS) and I kind of wish I hadn't because there are water types coming out of everywhere now. I might have to adjust my usual method of 'stick HMs on main party pokemon because who cares' and start actually having HM slaves who get rotated in and out.

Make sure you have it in the PC so it has pokerus forever and can spread to other pokemon whenever you want to.

Maybe it's nostalgia but I have an easier time forgiving the mistakes DPPt made (though the fire type stuff when there's an Elite 4 fire type user is amateur hour poo poo) since the setting, story, music, art style and characters, plus a decent enough level curve, made for a pretty fun generation. Remakes would definitely need work, tho, like actual active changes to some things instead of sprinkling some Megas here and there. Doing a new regional pokedex that goes beyond what Platinum did, introducing regional variants to further beef up the Pokedex, game speed wouldn't be an issue thankfully, but following SM's example and just removing HMs would be excellent.

I think Platinum being such an overhaul helped with that easier to forgive mistakes when they fix them and you can pretend they never happened. Also the player characters got super nifty jackets as a good forgiving bonus.

I don't know if it's the secret, but unique Z-moves is practically a given and will probably require the starters knowing their signature move or those elemental hyper beams to use.
