My instincts were spot-on with Grookey from the beginning, but I really expected more from the Sobble line.

Geostomp posted:So if these leaks are true, looks like my three gen Grass starter streak remains unbroken. Hell same - I didn't realize it til you mentioned it. Snivy was the last grass starter I didn't pick but then all of those starters were horrible. Lucky the rest of the gen was great.

I'm glad someone out there loves Inteleon. I don't. I think he's the worst 3rd form ever by a wide margin. But I'm sure he's a good boy and deserves to be loved. Just not by me.

Rillaboom is an amazing design though, and fully cements my commitment to grass monkey, who has the best first, second, and third form hands down. I want to protect my big muscular son from all the horrifying fan art getting made of him as we speak.

I just tried doing that thing I do every new gen and build a final team of 6 from the revealed new Pokemon up to that point and with this gen I just can't, there's too many I want to use and I absolutely will be switching mons in and out of my party constantly. This is why people keep buying Pokemon games btw - not to buy it full price, catch literally just Ekans, and retire contentedly til you can catch Ekans once more in the next gen.

qnqnx posted:all the promises of a game more aimed at older players Bear with me because I may be wrong, but has GF ever hinted at this for any game in the series, much less this one? The most I've ever heard, and this was back in XY, was "The protags look a couple years older maybe? Dark, mature Pokemon entry confirmed"...I feel like this is definitely something we unfairly assume every time we play as a teenager instead of a literal baby but we're still playing as children at the end of the day. :/

Kyrosiris posted:The fact that (if you turn off auto save) you can save right before you pick and reset if not right helps a lot. You can but you still have to mash through quite a bit of dialogue so you can check them out in your fight with Hop, but yeah it is at least a little better than the past couple gens about this. That said I still only had the patience for one reset - not even looking for optimal nature, just didn't want bold and a degraded attack stat and settled on a naughty Grookey instead. I still feel really bad for folks reseting for female starters.

Okay so, what are my friend and I doing wrong with trading? We're both selecting link trade with passcode, using the same code, and then either never getting a hit or getting hit after hit from other people presumably using the same code. But no matter what, we just can't seem to connect to each other. What are we missing? Surely there is a way to just see that a friend is online and select from a list of actions what you want to do with them? Or is everything literally just shouting out into the ether and seeing who responds? Surely not.

Pylons posted:Are you both online? I don't think it'll work if one person is in local communications mode. Yeah, I saw him making trades and I kept getting them too - just not with each other. I can guarantee I was online, not 100% about him, but I have no clue how he'd be getting trades or how I'd be seeing his stamps if he wasn't. :/ But it must be something, if no one else is encountering this.

thebardyspoon posted:So is there an easy way to trade with someone on your friends list or nah? Me and a friend just tried for half an hour to get matched up and I kept getting put into trades with randos rather than him despite me and him putting the same code in (I guess enough people are playing that a 4 digit code isn't the best way) and if we tried to search for "only friends" in the stamp list it said there were no stamps found. Seems pretty loving shonky even by Nintendo's usual standards for online functionality. Well it's not just me then - I tried the same thing with a friend for like an hour thinking surely we must be doing something wrong, but no the system legit seems to be "input a 4-digit code and hope you and your friend are the only ones using it". Trading locally is the only reliable way I've found to trade with a friend. I don't know what possessed them to make it this way.

My thing about "x game was better" is that Platinum is my x game - enough time has passed from that and enough has changed that I feel comfortable enjoying every new game for what it is and what it brings to the table, instead of comparing it to a high point years in the past.

That said the loss of Volcarona and Scolipede hurts... I'll probably finish this run first though.

I can't comprehend of a difficult AI fight in Pokemon that doesn't have RNG tipped in its favor like Battle Tower.

This is honestly the first Pokémon campaign I've beaten where I've felt "this needs an enhanced edition ASAP", and it has nothing to do with what Pokémon are or are not in the game. It feels like it's missing like 50% of its routes, 30% of its trainer battles, and 70% of its dungeons. And sadly I don't even know how an enhanced edition would fix this - might be best to skip right past it into the next remake or a whole new gen. I had a lot of fun with it but I'm only now seeing a lot of the shortcuts they took now that I've beaten it. I'm starting to wonder how much the inclusion of the wild area actually cost us. While a fun inclusion when taken at face value I wonder if it's not a bigger liability than we think. It's not a suitable replacement for everything that was cut or just didn't get finished.

Yeah the thought came to me as I was going through the routes again from the beginning looking for items I missed with the surf bike. I didn't think about how weird it was when the game shepherded you to the train stations between gym challenges, but on second glance it's really surprising how many of these towns are dead ends - all presumably to save dev resources on routes in between towns. Like, they could have just added a narrow corridor or two with a few trainer battles. It wouldn't have been ideal but it would have made a difference.

Where did that rumor that you could rename traded Pokémon come from? Made the mistake of assuming that was true and waited to rename a perfect IV Sobble until after I ev trained it and now I'm left with a Japanese Inteleon that I don't know what to call lol. Jokes on me.

Dienes posted:This link system is absolutely dreadful. My SO and I have been trying for 10 minutes to connect to each other and our devices refuse to connect, despite having no problem joining each other's max raids. We can't see each other's stamps or anything. I've been having this issue consistently with my friend - neither of us have trouble connecting to others but for whatever reason, whether online or local, our games refuse to communicate. I think we found a remedy for this last night though. Fully restarting both our switches got us in communication somehow. Just closing the software or putting the switch to sleep didn't help.

Genovera posted:Huh, was he named that when he was still a Sobble? It would be a bit strange but maybe his OT nicknamed him "Intelion" in katakana. I haven't tried renaming a non English language Pokemon, but I have nicknamed a couple that my husband sent me. The name rater specifically asked if I was sure about the name, saying I would not be able to change it again later as I was not the OT. Yeah the name rater said the name was perfect as it was so it looks like the OT just named their Sobble Inteleon. :/

Mizuti posted:I was thinking that the conventional routes for SwSh feel shallow and I think I've realized why. In past gens you gradually unlocked some exploration tools that led to new trainer battles, optional areas, treasures, etc. Typically access is unlocked through HMs or Ride Pokémon, more rarely through items like the Mach/Acro Bikes. You'd gradually get reasons to revisit most routes and dungeons for at least one more round of looting or discoveries. Yeah the wild area kind of sabotaged a lot of the traditional routes, and it doesn't feel like a good trade off for me. I was pleasantly surprised to get fly so early until I figured out its because nothing is really connected. You take trains everywhere because there are barely any routes.

Well I have bred a perfect Applin, who is now an Appeltun. Besides playing with him in camp because he's the cutest, how do I use this guy? Looking like the game wants you to leech seed and stall but unsure how much of his moveset I want to devote to this. Leech Seed, Protect, Recycle, ???
