Is Wonder Trade still gonna be a thing? I like it as a way to dump breeding trash and sometimes can get some funny results.

man only now am I torn between beautiful sea princess and fire wrestler cat. I was always on team Pop but now I'm eyeing a cool rear end fire/dark wrestler cat with a great z-move and being all 'yea, I can get into that'.

I guess people talking strategy haven't realized 8 turn trick room is a reality because that makes Alolan Marowak, Wishiwashi, and a ton of other things a lot scarier.

Yea I don't get why people are obsessed over the speed issue. It's not ideal but it's not like a ton of teams are built around buffing ALL your little shits to be nice and fast anyway.

edit: oh yea, what island is the coward pokemon and the water spider on? As much as I love Popllio I have to many other water and fairy types I wanna try out, but almost no fire ones, think I'm gonna go with the cat wrestler after all.

Awww, your starter follows you home. :3:

they REALLY do a great job of making that whole 'in Alola we live WITH our Pokemon' thing. Other regions have done it but it never really felt right, with this one everyone's just casually battling, talking about new moves and junk they want to try, getting your first pokemon is played as some sacred event where the pokemon has to accept you too, all that.

Theres a Muk hat, shirt and capris right when you get to island 2.

glad I just finished Island one then, because I've had Alolan Grimer in my party since the start and I gotta show my Literal Garbage Pride.

Also hey anyone know the rarity of finding a Crabrawler when you go through berries? I've been rooting through every pile I pass but no luck. Is it rare enough where I should just wait until it shows up as a more normal pokemon or am I just unlucky?

^^^Yea of all the fan sites they actually have had the most brushes with Nintendo over leaks/early copies/etc so I doubt it was them being coy and more like a case of 'no see we said we don't approve of those early games, we're good. Yea we just happened to know the game all the way to endgame within hours of launch, prove we're not wizards'.

if I haven't played a pokemon game since like loving Heart Gold how lost am i going to be

this game rules and probably on the top part of my GOTY list but it's a game for literal babies and if you already know the basics you're plenty fine. The only curveball will be stuff like HMs replaced by poke-pager and even then that stuff is super clearly explained, so no biggie.

First bit of decent luck on Wonder Trade, nothing huge but I got a nice French Mudbray before encountering one proper, so that'll be fun to have around.

Also Mudbray's French name is 'Tiboudet' which is literally just 'tiny mud horse' and that's adorable. I love you tiny mud horse, you are in my team for good.

Well, either I got super lucky or the odds aren't all that bad - found a Corsola on my first bubbling rock off Melemele, and the second thing it called up was a Mareanie.

My only question now is where is Sableye? The Pokedex shows it up at Ten Carat Hill, but I can't find it, and PokemonDB doesn't show it in the spawn table. Is it also an SOS-only catch?

yea, it's SOS only and hilariously it seems to prioritize attacking the pokemon that called it before yours. I love that lil poo poo

an oricorio with feather dance really helped me out on that one, two casts of that and it was doing gently caress-all damage

Really? I just finished it by using my cutiefly's evolved form. I used two of its big rear end puff bomb things and then switched to my emo-owl to murder his friend. Much faster totem fight than wishiwashi was for me and I had type advantage for that one.
