This effect does not stack with itself or Flame Body; however, it can be stacked with Hatching Power Pass Power or O-Power. Flopsy posted:Unfortunately the Ampharos was just recently given away.

Calaveron posted:I love the punchline that despite being greedy and wanting Pokemon just for the sake of selling them, Jesse and James are actually fantastic trainers and their pokemons love them to death They're also shown several times to be at the very least competent in normal jobs, sometimes even being shown as really skilled at them. Jessie and James are basically only evil by choice, they could very easily live well if they decided to abandon that path but they won't. And even there, they're more "evil" than evil and are actually pretty nice people which is constantly shown as an imperative to be a good Pokemon Trainer, James especially managed to get IIRC the entirety of his team without ever fighting, only through sheer kindness.

You can't milk nostalgia with Gen 2, only with Gen 1, and that's the only thing Game Freak lately cares about. Also Game Freak never reuses good ideas so we won't get more regional forms despite being a really cool thing.

Diet Poison posted:Can I use my Monkey's Paw wish on the return of good places to grind postgame? I'm trying to raise my new Ninetales to 100 to Hyper Train its lovely speed stat, and the choices are dire in Sun/Moon. At this point I'm just eating level-up meals from the Plaza every day. Bring back the Blissey Islands! I agree with that wish. The best place in USUM to train is Pony Grove because two bushes can have Chansey in it, and they create SOS battles with more Chansey and sometimes Blissey, but it's far too random and slow, especially in comparison to the better methods we had before.

Mr. Nemo posted:God, the last Dungeon has this tutorial that went on forever and a terrible (read: different from before) mechanic for recruiting. Had to put it down shortly after starting. Anyone know if it gets better? Reviews say that it doesn’t actually. Uhh, the last MD was Super Mystery Dungeon which rocked, actually. I also don't remember it having a tutorial that went on forever. Are you thinking of the second to last? I've heard that one was pretty bad. Also the current recruiting method is much better than the old one because it isn't horribly luck-based.

galagazombie posted:Gen IV was the only time Nintendo ever had a good use for the bottom screen (The Poketch and Quickmenu) and it annoys me to no end they never got it right again. I'm not saying Super-Training/Pokemo-amie is bad, just that its the kind of thing that doesn't need to be hogging the screen during normal gameplay. You can't even use some of the stuff on the C-Gear anymore now that the servers are gone. I disagree, Gen VI was pretty much the perfect use of the lower screen for the PSS (and the other fun stuff in ORAS) and I dearly miss it since it allowed them to blend near-perfectly single-player and online.

Bongo Bill posted:Regardless of marketing, without interoperability it's pretty misleading to call it a mainline game. That'll likely change once Sword and Shield are out, Let's Go has data for everything the main games use yet LG itself doesn't, making it more than clear that trading is meant to happen, it just hasn't been activated because of reasons we can't be sure about (but it may simply be because they haven't been able to get Bank working on Switch yet, or because of the whole "only Gen 1" thing)

Alxprit posted:US/UM does have Chansey Chains in the postgame area, as well as Roto Exp. Points to double Exp yield from battles for a while. So it's definitely faster if you wanna grind in that one for postgame stuff. Even that is miserably slow in comparison to older methods though, and I really, really hope we get something faster for Sword and Shield. I don't care about getting to level 100 but I evolve a lot of mons for the whole livingdex thing (which in my case also includes international Pokemon, which means I get quite a bit to evolve) and it'd be nice to not take ages for the ones that need higher levels.

Mizuti posted:I traded to get all SOS exclusive Pokémon because screw that. I hope they dump the SOS mechanic and find a more elegant and straightforward way of hunting for hidden abilities, shinies, and/or rare species. No need to hope for that, SOS is the exact kind of mechanic Game Freak likes to drop after one use. And thankfully in this case, because it's really bad.

We have like a thousand of these dogs, I'm not going to stick with the same every time.

You should be perfectly fine but it's also kind of antithetical to the Gen 5 idea of using the new guys instead of the guys you already used.

Countblanc posted:there were episodes where they were given meals at pokemon centers They are contributing to society. Giant companies (Silph, Devon, etc.) exist whose entire product lines are for Trainers. Bikes are such a gigantic neccesity that they've become absurdly expensive and promoting them is a big enough job to get one for free. Big Pokemon tournaments happen near-constantly, with several people of all ages participating, with them being shown in TVs everywhere. There are several profitable jobs dedicated to Pokemon for Trainers that had their journey but decided to use their knowledge elsewhere. Rich people that are into Pokemon are exceedingly common. While non-Pokemon-related business exists (such as hotels), it's a reality that a big part if not most of society is entirely on the Pokemon business. Travelling Trainers are more than a contribution, they're a neccesity for it to continue, as they not only buy products and services, but also give entertainment (which someone must be getting profit from) and all without expecting payment other than what they get from beating each other up and doing odd jobs here and there. Pokemon Centers being free and even giving food and shelter to travelling Trainers is, therefore, an inversion by the government to keep that up. A logical, obvious one - they're unpaid, unaffiliated workers moving the economy, you want them alive and ready to keep travelling and keep purchasing.

Whalley posted:A Pokemon battle is forcing fully sentient, intelligent beings you pressed into slavery to fight until at least one literally cannot move anymore. Nonsense. We're constantly told Pokemon really, really like beating the poo poo out of each other. There's no forcing, Pokemon are horribly blood-lusty abominations that only find pleasure in the slaughter of their own kind, and love the idea of being helped by humans so they can refine and excel in their murderous ways.

Note Block posted:I ship Guzma with me because he’s my boy and also very handsome. At least with Guzma it's undeniable he's an adult since a core part of his character is that he failed to become a Trial Captain, a job with a cut-off age of 20, meaning our boy Guzma is at least that age, likely somewhat older. Hell, he seems to be the same age as Kukui, who's married (too bad about his rocky marriage due to his wife's unrequited love for the Masked Royal though)
