how can i use the steel z-move when no one taught me how to do the steel z-move dance

huge loving blunder on gamefreak's part

When you get the Bugnium Z from the Team Skull Mansion, there really needed to be just some random grunt show up, do the pose, and leave. Same for all of the Z-Crystals.

Also, is it just me, or did they nerf the Pokemon-Amie/Refresh bonuses? Because my entire team is at max affection except for Zydog, and they aren't constantly landing critical hits like in X/Y. It's a good change, don't get me wrong, X/Y's endgame was an exercise in pointing my team at any trainer and then winning.

The trials and gyms systems aren't especially far removed from each other. Definitely didn't change the entire game up for me. I'd probably rather have gyms if they give them interesting team comps and AI though, rather than what ultimately boils down to an artificially tougher Pokemon and a lovely little helper.

The settings for the trials are pretty good, especially the Ghost one.

I don't really feel Alola as a setting, nor Hawaiian themed things which is probably partly because I'm not from the US. Kalos and Unova were better "not Japan" settings to me.

So is there anyone out there willing to trade off a female Alolan Vulpix for something frigging reasonable? I was hoping we'd get away from people asking for Legendaries and impossible Pokemon this generation, but basically every Vulpix on GTS is only available for rare SOS finds or bloody Milotics. I just want a cuddly ice fox for my team :(

I can breed one for you for the low, low price of your firstborn child and a Lunala.

This stuff gives me life since i replayed Y a bit ago. Nope, those two are in XY the entire game. You meet them in Sycamore's lab, you see them in almost every Flare location, they're involved in many, many of the cutscenes. Their costumes are pure white with striking blue and red masks and scarfs and they managed to be the most forgettable characters ever!

Wait, are you saying that the Masked Defenders of Kalos are Sina and Dexio? That's ridiculous! Next thing you're going to tell me that Kukui is the Masked Royal...

^^^ I didn't even notice it til I saw a Youtuber crawl inside! By then I had Tauros, Lapras, and Stoutland so I was able to clear out much more of it on my first go.

Araquanid is cool and good and my new friend.

Refresh is basically the same thing as Amie but I love it so much more. Giving my dudes a rainbow bean so they jump 2 levels of Affection is a bonus. But having Lycanroc get proud or Araquanid (aforementioned new best friend) shaking off paralysis immediately after Thunder Wave lands, and then hanging on with 1 HP so he doesn't disappoint me is the absolute best.

I love my water spider best friend.

I made it to the postgame, where in order to get access to the battle tree, you have to beat either Red or Blue. I had all of two pokemon not fainted, and then my Tsareena managed to hang on with 1 HP remaining against Red's Charizard like 5 times in a row. I threw the rest of the fight because I couldn't gain any headway against the rest of Red's team, but that was amazing.

Thanks for the heads up

I actually had a follow-up question about Rockruff - I kinda want the Midnight one, even if my Pokémon expert friend keeps insisting that he sucks

I was told Rockruff evolves at night for Moon and during the day for Sun - but if I level up my new doggo (:3:) until he's near evolving, then trade him to a friend with Moon, will he become the Midnight version?

Also I'm still on the first island, I've been in Ten Carat Hill for a long time, and my Dartrix is now level 32, and I feel like this is grossly overleveled - should I just chuck him in a box for a while? Will his affection go down? Can I put my EXP Share in a box?

You'll be overlevelled until the third island at that rate.

Good job.

Has anybody figured out where the other nectars are for Oricorio? I found the pink nectar in front of the Royal Dome, and I'm assuming the yellow nectar is in the big dumb yellow field, but I haven't seen any others yet.

Red Nectar is next to the Lake of the Sunne/Moone, depending on which game you're playing, and Purple is postgame on Poni Island.

By the way, does anyone know if there's an Ice-type trainer, well anywhere in the cast? Just feels weird that the other seventeen types have cool, fresh NPCs representing them (even if a couple only appear/get battled in the post-game), but Ice is left in the cold.

Game Freak hates Ice-types.

During day in moon, you can go to the Altar of the Moone and travel to the Alternate Dimension. If you have a Solgaleo you can do it at night too.

The only tall socks I've seen are the ones from konikoni, that end just below the knee. No thigh-highs or tights anywhere in sight. :(

At least for the girl protagonist, you can get thigh-highs in the first or second boutique.

I know this because I wore them for the entire game.

Yeah, I noticed that when my Bewear kept using the Fighting Z-move, like, 25% of the time the outlines would be turned off.

The rest of the time it was the regular models though. Weird.

who do you think Lillie is going to choose as her starter over in Kanto?

I think I'm going to bench everyone but Stilts the Decidueye and Peek the Mimikyu for the postgame. Not sure who else to use yet, though.

She'll stumble across a Mew, then Mewtwo, then a literal mountain of Mewtwonite, in that order. She'll travel with them and not choose any of them as a starter.
