korusan posted:It's actually really cool going to a new region and having another 8 gyms to train new team members in. Too bad the only game that had a chance to do this failed miserably by not giving you a single good source for exp. Gen 2 is a mess. Also I don't remember BW ever needing Surf, but my memories might be wrong there. You do have one forced use of Cut after the first Gym, but afterwards I don't think you need any HMs. Then again, I might've forgotten Surf simply because I don't think I've ever gone a game without a core member of my team with Surf.

I got a shiny Venonat in Crystal, and then failed to find any until Y, where I found a Smeargle in the Friend Safari then got a Druddigon from a (Masuda method) egg. I then tried to breed for other shinies, failed even stacking the Shiny Charm and Masuda Method, got bored and stopped.

Zuzie posted:Anyway, has anyone made a tally of all the old Pokémon that appeared in Sun and Moon trailers yet? They might be clues to who isn't getting Alolan forms. While I haven't done this, the Japanese Sun/Moon site has pages for several Kanto Pokemon, and I think those are the ones that appeared in the trailers. As such, we can expect these Pokemon to not get Alola forms: -Dragonite -Zubat -Gyarados -Spearow -Pinsir -Lapras -Arcanine -Psyduck All of these show their full evolution lines too, so I wouldn't expect Golbat, Crobat, Fearow or Golduck, either.

The Great Burrito posted:I'm just pissed that when it came time to finally battle Tierno after all his dancing Pokemon talk there was no Spinda, Ludicolo or anything really that seemed to fit. Like I love Corphish and Hawlucha but COME ON His choices are not quite as random as they look, all of them know a Dance move: Corphish/Crawdaunt and Talonflame know Swords Dance, Roserade knows Petal Dance and Hawlucha knows Feather Dance, and they know these in every single team he has. He's still underwhelming and pointless, but it's a neat detail.

Calaveron posted:In this case it was actually the twin brothers who were dark and light elements because thematic reasoning (one was like light-element Garurumon and the other was dark-element I forget, I think a lion mon Koji with Wolfmon/Garmmon/Beowolfmon/MagnaGarurumon and Koichi with Loweemon/KaiserLeomon. The former is one of the two that keeps importance, the latter loses his powers so the former can fight in better forms and is ultimately killed because, as you can read, his second form was a Leomon and that's a death sentence. It's Takuya with Agnimon/Vritramon/Aldamon/KaiserGreymon that takes the other spotlight-stealing spot. Internet Kraken posted:Weren't all the kids in every series overshadowed by the designated protagonist being the one that does the most important poo poo? Not quite. Adventure actually gives a lot of importance to the entire team even as Taichi and Yamato hit one level higher than the rest (hell, it's Takeru that is critical in taking down the most powerful Dark Master, Taichi and Yamato lose). Tamers has all four protagonists hit Mega and, while Guilmon gets a super mode, it ends up being mostly unimportant and it's Ruki and Ryo that give the finishing blow to the D-Reaper, with Jenrya devolving it to a primal state; Savers also has all four protagonists hit Mega although Masaru and Touma ultimately hog the spotlight, and Tri is divided into movies which follow two Children each, thus evading that problem entirely. Also the time moving is very much an Adventure thing, since no other series got a sequel. Taichi goes from 11, to 14, to 17; with the other characters following suit. Xros Wars also has a one-year timeskip, but we don't talk about that, ever.

Blue, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, FireRed, Diamond, Platinum, HeartGold, Black, Black 2, Y, OmegaRuby. Leaning towards Sun because I like Solgaleo because it reminds me of GaoGaiGar, but I'm still not completely defined simply because there isn't anything version-exclusive I particularly care about. If UBs were catchable then I'd definitely get Sun though, because Absorption is super cool.

Internet Kraken posted:Actual overdesigned Pokemon I wouldn't say that's overdesigned. It's a horrible design, it looks terrible and whoever decided it should be included needs to get fired immediately if they haven't gotten fired yet, but it isn't because it's overdesigned, just because it's bad and it saddens me that something as great as Rhydon becomes that.

Countblanc posted:It means Rhydon can use Eviolite, so consider it a buff to a mon you like On the other hand, it means that if it ever gets a Mega, it goes to Rhyperior instead of a cooler Rhydon, and it almost definitely means we aren't getting Alolan variations of the Rhyhorn line since those are for Gen 1 only and now there's a pesky Gen 4 design at the end. And it isn't even good! Also all the Electabuzz line is awesome. Wish I could say the same for Magmar.

Raditz didn't kill Goku, Piccolo killed Goku, finally fulfilling his promise to his dead father, and then proceeded to kidnap Goku's son and become a better dad for him than Goku ever was. Yamcha also didn't beat Goku, he had to run away the moment he saw a girl, and Goku was starving at the time. The moment Goku ate, Yamcha took his rightful place as someone who gets beaten up repeatedly.

Since I live in a country Nintendo does not give a poo poo about, if anyone can get me a code, I'd be super thankful! I have a full livingdex (except for that one), so I can breed down anything that can be bred if that works for a trade, and I have a few spare legendaries because...I obsessively collect poo poo. It's me, I'm the guy who pays for Pokemon Bank.

oddium posted:z moves can only be used once per battle. if you don't use it, you're wasting an item slot. if you do use it, you're down to three moves and have a good chance of hitting a protect or a follow me. they are going to be blocked by protect and protect is not going to be negated by any priority negating abilities. dattebayo Why would you be down to three moves? It's not like Z-Moves overwrite one of your moves permanently. So long as you don't have one move only to serve for your Z-Move, you still have four, you only lost your item slot (which is big in and of itself).

About the Shiny Charm: I know you only need the Alolan dexes now instead of the full national Pokedex, but is it "seen everything" or "caught everything"? Also, do the Alolan Pokemon that aren't in the Pokedex (like the UBs and Type: Null) count towards that?

Neo_Crimson posted:Did they not remove Missingno from the VC versions? You'd think that'd be one of the first things to do. As far as I know, the VC versions are identical to the originals in every way except changing trading from using Link Cable to the 3DS' own wireless for obvious reasons. This means that MissingNo. is still in, although I seriously doubt Bank won't block all glitches.

Alxprit posted:They probably weren't removed because nobody liked them, but because the game can barely handle Double Battles as is; how would it work with six Pokemon out in the field? Exactly. Yeah, I think so too. The 3DS can barely handle Sun and Moon as-is, forcing even more models on-screen would probably end badly. Triple and Rotation Battles are the Ice Climbers of Pokemon.

Cbear posted:Is there a point to playing gold/silver, ruby/sapphire, or just skip them and play the newer versions? I want to play through the series again but looking for advice. HeartGold/SoulSilver are a straight upgrade over GSC so there's no point in playing the older ones. Gen 3 is a bit harder to say, since ORAS are upgraded RS...but not Emerald. Emerald is still the better game there, but the mechanics will feel very outdated if you're accustomed to the current games, especially since it's pre-Gen 4.

I only use old Pokemon if they have something new and interesting (Azumarill and Blaziken in Y due to the Fairy-type and Mega Evolution respectively, Alola Forms in Sun) or if I'm doing a gimmick run (mono-Grass in OR, Nuzlockes in general). Otherwise I prefer to stick with new stuff, who knows, I could find a new favourite! Like Wishiwashi, Wishiwashi is super cool and good.

Steven probably would've been better if his games hadn't been poo poo, and Iris was a better swap out than Wallace. But they still don't compare. Everyone else was complete poo poo; yes, even Red. I don't get saying Steven would be better if his games weren't poo poo after saying Cynthia is the best. That makes no sense.

Reinanigans posted:Trading for literally anything you want is trivial in this game. There's no need to have everything on one cart besides placating a small subset of children who refuse to accept the core concept of a 20+ year old series. The legendaries can be kind of hard. My livingdex is still incomplete entirely because I lack legendaries (Lunala, either Cosmog or Cosmoem, either Type: Null or Silvally). I hope Ultra Sun/Moon lets me fill those spots so my livingdex can be 100% complete. SyntheticPolygon posted:That seemed pretty clear from the trailer I thought. I'm not sure how anything could be clear from the few seconds of "trailer" we got beyond Mimikyu having a new Z-Move and Nebby having new forms. Also I hope the exact opposite. The game wastes the Ultra Beasts subplot with only Nihilego having a role and even there not a great one. While I loved the Looker postgame (as I often do), I really hope that they properly utilize what they have this time. Sun and Moon had a great storyline by Pokemon standards but it also had some very clear missed opportunities.

Momomo posted:Also I didn't like that he convinced two of the kahunas to give up the role a god gave them to stand in a room waiting for people all day. Acerola was fine, but Olivia and Hala really should've been new characters, like Kahili. They didn't though. They're still Kahunas, it's just that they have a second job now as Elite Four as well. The Alolan traditions are still what they are, but with the addition of a Pokemon League. I don't think at any point Kukui wanted to just smash every tradition of Alola and turn the most original Pokemon region into the same poo poo we've played for 20 years. Guzma was the extreme one who hated the past, Kukui just wanted to properly move forward, add to what's already there. And while Guzma is my boy and the best, we aren't meant to sympathize with him on that.
