Bought Let's Go on a whim after the Sword/Shield announcement and I'm having a grand old time even if it does feel weird and different. I assume there's still version exclusive mons and trade-only evos? Or can I solve those with fancy enough chains or something?

So it's 2019 and gamefaqs is totally not a thing anymore, is there like, a "guide" for Let's Go? I want to know how shiny chaining mechanics work, and any mons that I'm likely to miss if I just slackjaw stare at my pokedex and talk to every NPC but nothing else, and stuff like that.

Oh sick, I knew serebii had legendary locations for ORAS (the fuckin' Soar stuff) but then I totally forgot it existed in the last years somehow, thank you! edit: ugh, I wasn't wrong, Headbutt is really the best STAB option Eevee gets? Since you can't Veevee Volley at will and the other options are Take Down, Double Edge, and Facade. Why didn't they give it Body Slam or something? Not asking for Thrash even, I know the gen 1 movesets are limited even with the random later-gen move additions  Game Freak shoulda just shrugged their shoulders and given Eevee Boomburst because gently caress you that's why take a million DACK FAYDEN fucked around with this message at 12:04 on Apr 3, 2019 |

Zuzie posted:They really want Eevee to use its other signature moves like Buzzy Buzz and Baddy Bad. What I'm actually surprised by is that you can't just get Veevee Volley, since it's literally just Return and that not being in this game would make it stand out even more.

Can you really not chain for the fossil pokes in LGPE, boo (the real "boo" is the lack of a GTS so I can't get version exclusives/trade evos without talking to other people oh god)

Weird how there's always these Pokemon I want to use that seem to always have something stopping me, like Skarmory and Houndoom not being available till the games more or less over in Johto or literally every gen 5 pokemon not evolving until the end times.

Mesadoram posted:Did they officially say that the Pokebank was not going to work? Because if that's the case I am going to remove all my Pokemon from that and just toss them in my Ultra Sun save. Since the Bank to Home path is one-way and only one-way, you can't get anything backwards, and anything not in Galar is stuck in Home until they release something new to transfer those friends to. (I could be wrong about being able to transfer formerly-Banked mons from Home to SS if they are present in Galar, someone sing out if I am)

I got the list of what reddit wants to see but I'm lazy, can someone post the full Galar 400 for me so I can check it against reddit's top 100, I tried serebii but I'm not sure it has them all.

Digamma-F-Wau posted:here's an returning chart that has a pokemon returning that wasn't listed as returning in the chart already posted in the thread Stantler Reddit's top 100 list: https://pastebin.com/MP2BXBAS Of the 100, Rayquaza, Mewtwo, Lugia, Darkrai, Giratina, Suicune, and Articuno are legendary, so we're down to 93 (plus Mew, which I am going to count even though it's #401+) possible. Of those 93, 22 are non-Charmander starters, eliminated right out of the gate for whatever reason Game Freak had. So we're down to 71 possibles total, keeping Mew, Charizard, and Charmander to be as generous as possible here (Nobody loves Charmeleon, evidently. Shoutout to Quilava for making the drat list somehow? Also to Flareon for being the only missing Eeveelution for reasons that make perfect sense.) Collapsing the evolution lines - multiple Eeveelutions, Pikachu and Raichu, etc, we get this list, ordered by popularity, first species in the line: Charizard, Charmander Gengar, Haunter Arcanine, Growlithe Umbreon, Eevee, Espeon, Jolteon, Sylveon, Vaporeon, Glaceon Lucario Gardevoir, Gallade Dragonite, Dragonair Absol Ampharos Flygon Ninetales, Vulpix Tyranitar Snorlax Luxray Scizor, Scyther Garchomp Metagross Alakazam Cubone Aggron Pikachu, Raichu Volcarona Mimikyu Psyduck Heracross Mew Nidoking Gyarados Mawile Sableye Lapras Crobat Breloom Milotic Chandelure Salamence Dunsparce Sandshrew, Sandslash Weavile Ditto Houndoom Shuckle Aegislash Hydreigon Togekiss Jigglypuff Zoroark Porygon-Z Ludicolo Froslass Staraptor Whimsicott Altaria Skarmory Furret Gliscor ...for a total of 55 evolution lines and 71 unique pokemon that people would really like to see in Galar. Now it's spoiler time, let's use that chart:  Charizard/Charmander - yes Gengar, Haunter - yes Arcanine, Growlithe - yes Umbreon, Eevee, Espeon, Jolteon, Sylveon, Vaporeon, Glaceon - yes Lucario - yes Gardevoir / Gallade - yes Dragonite, Dragonair - no Absol - no Ampharos - no Flygon - yes Ninetales, Vulpix - yes Tyranitar - yes Snorlax - yes Luxray - no Scizor, Scyther - no Garchomp - no Metagross - no Alakazam - no Cubone - no Aggron - no Pikachu, Raichu - yes Volcarona - no Mimikyu - yes Psyduck - no Heracross - no Mew - yes Nidoking - no Gyarados - no Mawile - yes Sableye - yes Lapras - yes Crobat - no Breloom - no Milotic - yes Chandelure - yes Salamence - no Dunsparce - no Sandshrew, Sandslash - no Weavile - yes Ditto - yes Houndoom - no Shuckle - yes Aegislash - yes Hydreigon - yes Togekiss - yes Jigglypuff - no Zoroark - no Porygon-Z - no, although I had thought yes? Ludicolo - yes Froslass - yes Staraptor - no Whimsicott - yes Altaria - no Skarmory - no Furret - no Gliscor - no So of a possible 56 unique evolution lines (including Mew and Charmander), 27 are in Galar. I'm surprised it's so low. I mean, that's low.
