Super excited for this. I could not give less of a poo poo about Let’s Go but I will always, always be down for a new core Pokémon game.

I soft-reset for a shiny Poipole and then gamefreak played a cruel joke on me and released it for everyone :shepface:

Now I probably won’t be able to transfer it over for the foreseeable future :negative:

doublepost, but this is unrelated to previous discussion

my brain is currently being extra dumb and wants to play through johto again
is there any benefit to playing Crystal nowadays, or should I just go look for my copy of Heartgold?

Crystal on 3DS is great for getting hidden abilities but other than that HeartGold is the way to go.

feraligatr, the physical water type, only learns aqua tail well after the elite four.
you can move-tutor it on there, but only from the battle frontier in the postgame. for 40BP.

(yes you can also just stick waterfall on there, but again, that's not until the eighth gym, what the gently caress)

And yet for some reason, like every gen 1 pokemon can learn fire blast

IVs are dumb as poo poo and should be removed entirely and that's a hill I'd die on. Find a more sane way to have hidden power change type.

Just let an NPC change your HP type at will. It’s so weak that it’s only really useful for hitting 4x weaknesses anyway.

I have all kinds of random shinies but the only one I’ve actively hunted for was Poipole because shiny Naganadel being a giant bee is cool as hell.

Yeah, making Gallade male-only was a mistake, IMO. I like sexually dimorphic Pokemon when they're inspired by animal sexual dimorphism, but not when they're inspired by human gender roles.

Edit: Well, I also dislike the lack of an evolution for male Combee. I understand the biological logic of it, but having 87.5% of all Combee eternally stuck at 244 BST was a mistake, IMO. Maybe they should get an ability and form similar to Wishiwashi's Schooling. Or maybe an item called Royal Jelly that turns them female.

A pokemon that’s just a massive pile of bees would be pretty awesome

What I want to know is why a national dex of approximately 1,000 Pokémon was the straw that broke the camel's back and not 386 or 721? They even added in four new Pokémon just for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

I think it’s cause they future-proofed the models and then immediately made a mechanic where they made a separate model.

Though I don’t think anyone would give a poo poo if non-galardex pokemon and megas simply couldn’t dynamax.
