Alright. Two questions. When breeding genderless pokemon aka metagross will they keep the pokeball they were in? And can somebody powersave me up some moon balls in the future because single apricorn ball thing gamefreak has going on is some hot horseshit.

The little "doink" noise Mimikyu makes when it's disguise falls is just so cute to me, I dunno why.

Unrelated note + 3rd island spoilers: The general state of Po Town, the fact that all the grunts are basically homeless, and the constant storminess makes me feel genuinely bad about fighting the Team Skull Grunts. I just want to wrap them in blankets and feed them cookies, darnit.

The whole team is like that actually. Even Guzma and Plumeria are actually poor and have pretty sad backstories. Their desire for money stems from the fact a lot of them literally can't afford basic necessities. Weirdly they're like the anti-team flare, no world domination plans they just want to get through day to day and be acknowledged as worthwhile. The grunts have blatant self esteem issues too.

Worst is after you beat the story you can return to Po Town and... it's the same. These kids only have an abandoned city to live in and they can't afford any better. I really hope Stars is a sequel so I can see all these teens grow into young adults that can take care for themselves and are leading happy lives with good self-esteem. :ohdear:

Good news is if you walk around enough post game there are signs some of them are getting their lives together. Plumeria becomes a star trainer, good enough to challenge your throne. Guzma gets taken under Hala's wing to become a better person. And Hau and the trial captains are reforming grunts by teaching them basic job skills and how to look after themselves. So it's not entirely a bummer. But yeah some of them are still squatting in a broken town and it stinks. And gently caress me even Lusamine is pitiable once you realize she was motivated by grief and her brains were almost completely scrambled by neurotoxins.

You know, after the garbage that was XY's plot, this game is such a breath of fresh air. It's got characters! And atmosphere! And pacing! Not to mention, the islands all feel really well designed, the new pokemon look cool, and the enemies don't feel like such complete pushovers. It's starting to surpass Platinum as my favorite one in the series.

The story and characters are leagues better than X&Y. I actually liked every character and that's rare. However game mechanics took a dive. Finding pokemon with hidden abilities is poo poo and handing out only one each of the apricorn balls is just loving cruel. What happened to the dex nav? Why remove that? And maybe this is just me. But finding the new pokemon has been a loving chore. The encounter rates for a lot of them are low and it gets old fast.

That said the game is gorgeous, battles move smoothly, and I love almost every new pokemon including the ultra beasts. Celesteela is loving amazing.

I don't much like that you have to torture a corasola to get a mareanie either. It feels kinda loving awful if I'm being honest. Like I get it's her natural predator but...can't we just fish one up? Do we have to leave the poor thing on the brink of death crying for help until it's worst nightmare comes along? Jesus.

You wouldn't happen to have one of these HA vulpixs in a dive ball would you? If not could you specify how you caught the first so i can do it on my own run through? When pokebank comes through I can make it up to you, I got a lot of shinys saved up.

This is correct with the caveat that if breeding with a ditto, the males WILL pass down their ball type now.

Does this apply to genderless mons? I'd like to pass down the ball my metagross is in for instance.

Also is the game going to have a national dex? Like after we transfer our pokemon via the bank is that going to pop up because I'm reading some confusing poo poo about it.

I deeply enjoyed X/Y and am sad that it never got a Z.

Hey Smogon nerds: what are some breedable Alolan Pokémon that are clearly worth using in OU and/or Ubers? I know who the last few gen's best murder monsters were and want to prioritize breeding Alolan ones. (UBs don't count since they can't lay eggs)

The worst aspect of X&Y was team flare and the lack of development for half the characters because there were too drat many. The rest of it was pretty good. Good visuals, quick clean battles, loving excellent music oh my God the loving best, and I loved almost every pokemon design, like only one or two were "meh" to me. New type and game mechanics were interesting. But it was also disappointing there wasn't a really good creepy place in game especially bad when it seems like they're setting up for one only for it to be a lame joke and some dude asking for a hand out. Difficulty curve was much better this time around and they've improved the writing dramatically.

I also hate Lysandre's guts. Like yeah there've been some pretty reprehensible dudes in pokemon but something about his nonchalant fascism and self righteousness is obnoxious to me.

Wow...so catching HA pokemon is even more horseshit than I thought. Found a female cubone with rock head got her with a false swipe and every time I tried to throw the ball she called for help. It took me twenty loving turns to throw a ball. Jesus Christ did they think anything through? Also couldn't manage jackshit with a sandshrew the HA literally never showed up. It's like they got their storytelling in order and then forgot about all the other goddamned game features. Still I've managed to grind on through to the point all I need is to transfer my 6 IV dittos to get this show on the road.

BTW Anybody got an adamant ditto? I got a pile of shinies I'll let you pick from for it.

Welp I didn't realize how broken this could get. Only paralyzing move I had was electric and no sleep moves in the party. Honestly this shouldn't be an issue. Easy fix? Have call for help fail after four turns. I can deal with that. Going through loving twenty before that happened is nuts.
