Probably for the best, since it wasn't a very challenging boss fight Interesting concept, perhaps, but lackluster execution

Is it really too much to ask that any pokemon with a jaw with teeth be able to learn all the various biting moves on top of having access to the same moves as other pokemon of the same type?

Any word of the polygon count on the USM models? That was why SM loved to drop into the single digit frame rates during double/Royale battles And now I'm slightly curious as to how the SM Pokémon tournament from several months ago went because of that

Then there's riding your lion/bat through space trying to find different colored holes in which pokémon dwell so you can capture them for the Nth time even though by now there's no excuse not to have a complete Living Pokédex via PokéBank

Curse you Kukui, for destroying my hopes of my pokemon following me around Probably gonna use Litten this time around, since I used Rowlet (utterly useless and outclassed by all of my other pokemon) and Popplio (surprisingly useful) the last time I played SM

I've heard horror stories about the various trials and so far the Totems have all been evaporating before me Doesn't help that the Trials give you an easy way to cheese them right before entering, such as Brick Break, Hawlucha and Noibat (Although Aquaranid and Marowak both fell afoul of my Duskroc's Rock Tomb, so...) I suspect my Torracat is gonna make short work of the Grass Totem, especially if its helper does something stupid like use Sunny Day

People who struggled with the Necrozma fight baffle me, since I was almost level 65 by the time I got to Poni Island - and that with skipping a lot of trainer battles and running from almost half the wild pokemon fights The way they were hyping it up and saying how hard it was made me think its Ultra Aura boosted its stats by two or three stages, but nah, it was only +1 to everything Totem Kommo-o gave me more trouble than Ultra Necrozma did

HeartNotes3 posted:My sister caught me a shiny Eevee which is really cool. I'm undecided which Eeveelution to pick, though--trying to decide which one has the best colors. Get yourself a Limeon (Espeon or Jolteon) Or whatever eeveelution that covers a type the rest of your team doesn't if you wanna be tactical about it Don't bother with Shiny Glaceon or Leafeon though, since the differences are negligible (lighter and darker versions of the base colors respectively) PokéSwitch is probably coming out between November 2018/November 2019 because nobody has ever heard of pacing nowadays Just ask the Sun/Moon anime writers

I made the mistake of picking Rowlet for my Moon playthrough and it got utterly outclassed by Magnemite (who laughs at the difficulty curve and breaks the game in half) and Makuhita (who was my MVP in ORAS and I was happy to see had made it to Alola) Then I picked Incineroar for Ultra Moon and was once again outclassed by everything else on my team (I also had a stupid amount of Dark types because the game loves to throw them at you because they hard-counter the most laughable boss in the entire history of the series) "Behold, Ultra Necrozma! A being capable of devouring an entire world's light, has a higher BST than God, and has one of the most epic Z-moves - aaaaand it dies to a zorua disguised as a poison/fighting type, of course." I didn't even have to use Malamar's Topsy-Turvy to weaken it Heck, the Dragon Totem was more challenging Veteran Brone on Route 14 was also particularly devastating as well since I didn't have a single grass-type on my team to kill his Whiscash As for useless pokémon, I'm quite fond of Skitty thanks to the Mystery Dungeon games, where picking it is basically Hard Mode since you'll never deal Super Effective damage thanks to Normalize Same goes for picking Chikorita in Gen II games since Team Rocket uses poison a fair amount And then you pick up things like Mareep, Growlithe, and Lapras to cover for it

Nth Doctor posted:So I know that Ultra Necrozma kinda comes out of nowhere and can eat teams for breakfast. I just ran into it yesterday and it outsped and OHKO'd 4 of my team members and 2HKO'd everything else. Did everyone just cheese the fight with toxic? To my detriment, I had three different pokemon who could've taken down UN Malamar with Topsy-Turvy to debuff it Zoroark with Illusion to troll it Inciniroar to Z-Move the heck out of it The game gives you a LOT of Dark-types at the start of the game As a result, I struggled more against the Dragon Totem (Used Play Rough to get rid of its Berry, then revived, and Snuggled it to death)

Diet Poison posted:It is GameFreak As gently caress to implement something that poorly and have the only way to change it be by going to some out of the way building on another island that you've already been to and have no real reason to ever go back to until you google "how to change ultra warp ride controls". Couldn't have one of the Ultra Spacemen who lets you swap between SunLion and MoonBat also let you swap controls, could we? No, that would make sense!! Should've also put the Recon people by the Alter wormhole that would both heal your pokemon and let you swap rides so you don't have to go to Ultra Megalopolis again to swap and to a pokemon center to heal

lezard_valeth posted:I considered Golisopod but going through the game with a Wimpod for 30 levels is definitely not gonna be fun. It's not that bad, actually Just keep it in your first slot and keep switching it out, which will result in it getting 100% of the experience points from a battle rather than the usual 50% if it never participated (unless the Exp. Share is turned off, in which case it'll split it with other pokémon like it did in older generations)

Imagine if pokémon either kept their Japanese names or were pronounced literally like their cries, whether it's the anime or game versions If only for Solrock to be named "Blblblbl" Then you'd have to carry around an orchestra if you ever wanted to pronounce Kriketune correctly

Prior to Pelago, I stopped by the pokémon center for my daily beans, since feeding your pokémon can get you several rare candies by the time you leave the first island (unless you blaze through the first island in ~3/4 hours in a single play session) It's great, even if it trivializes the game even more than it already is "Oh look, a level 20 Totem pokémon. Sure would suck if my pokémon weren't level 35."

Coating the competition, I see Good speed, good attack, mediocre defenses and HP, terrible movepool though Interesting effect on Plasma Fists though - any Normal-type moves used during the rest of the turn become Electric-type ...So does a Normal-type Z-move become Electric?
