Countblanc posted:man just playing this game feels awful. i was ready for the Big bugs like characters t-posing in cutscenes or stretching like Luffy. that stuff makes me laugh. or like that gif of the trainer whose arm bends the wrong way during the photo mode as a flying mon just phases through her dome, basically anything that makes a funny gif is cool by me! Same here. I only got to play for an hour and half last night but everything just felt incredibly sluggish and unfun. The frame rate was garbage the whole time and it made even simple traversal on foot feel stuttery and unpleasant. I had multiple other issues including a black screen in the loving starting house while trying to walk down the stairs, and I had to mash buttons to get out. I hope Gamefreak finally gets significant enough backlash that the people in charge start to care, because this is insane. Like, I knew it would have issues but this is kinda bumming me out. Maybe I should try handheld because people itt seem to be having better luck that way. Wile E. Toyota fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Sesq posted:lol I haven't made it to the school yet but I caught a Dreepy by finding a route up a cliff behind the western path to Mesagoza where there were a bunch of Pokemon on another cliff. I targetted one, threw the Pokeball, and it teleported me to the other side, jumping to Area 4 I just did the exact same thing. Chucked a ball across that gap and popped over to area 4. Tried to catch Maschiff but it kept killing all my Pokemon with a single bite lol.

The second battle with Nemona just made me realize that I vastly prefer the cinematic battles with all the fun camera angles over the usual free camera. In most battles, the view is boring and static, your only option to swivel around at one distance. That's obviously fine for wild mons, but I kinda wish all trainer battles had it. I didn't notice a lot of cute details in my critters' animations until now. Would be a cool setting to enable.

Mesadoram posted:It is seriously amazing, it is honestly just making the experience just that much more magical. Can't remember what the area below is called, but the music here is my favorite so far. It made me go "oh poo poo!" as soon as it started. Those country rear end beats were bangin, especially during battles. That said, I've found that I generally enjoy the music more when I'm not on Koraidon. The bombastic nature of his themes makes all the music sound more samey, so sometimes I go on foot just to hear the regular theme of an area. I like all the music though (except the tera gym theme; screw that SwSh chanting bullshit imo.)

I wonder what determines which Pokemon get a floatie in the water and which ones swim. You would think only water types swim, but my Pawmo happily treads water during battles while everyone else gets a float.

FoolyCharged posted:Man, this game was kind of the opposite of sword and shield in that its presentation and initial impression was complete dogshit but when I gave it a second chance after that first night it really grew on me. Same, I was sad the first night because it seemed lovely at the beginning, but once the world opened up I started having fun. I like this game a lot more than SwSh. SwSh loving sucked; it was a long, unfinished hallway and the CONSTANT cutscenes after you came out of each building in the game drove me crazy. Now you can do whatever you want and people leave you alone for the most part! Yay! My only major gameplay complaint is that I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't catch everything and battle everyone because I'm getting way too overleveled. It kind of discourages exploration in that way. I don't want to switch up teams all the time. I like my little friends and want to stick with them. Wish you could turn off exp share.

I found two items in a cave and couldn't pick them up. Saved and reset the game, and they're gone. I wonder if they went into my inventory or if they're just gone forever. Anyone figured that out? Edit: I ran away from the cave and came back and they respawned... still can't pick them up.

Cattail Prophet posted:Is this in the mines north of Levincia? If so, I think I know which cave you're talking about. Try dealing with the titan in the area if you haven't already and then look again, that worked for me. I like how you all knew exactly what cave I was talking about. Coming back after defeating the titan worked.  Thanks.Btw, I'm having trouble finding any new special attackers this gen. Using only new mons and my entire team is physical. It seems like gen 9's Pokemon in general are heavily weighted towards being physical, unless the special attackers are all hiding at the top of the map.

I'm thinking about finally learning more about competitive this gen, especially since people are saying it's easier to do with items and such. I'm confused about how IVs and natures affect stat growth. If you changed all of those on a level 100 Pokemon, would it be as good as a Pokemon that had perfect IVs and a good nature from the start? Also, is there a good thorough guide for getting into this that you guys recommend? I've been doing some reading on Smogon but all of the intro articles on there are from the Black and White days (not sure if it's different enough now to matter.) I also need a guide to what items to use to fix stats, if possible.

I really love the pictures the game gives you after you earn a badge. It adds to characterization and also makes your character feel a little more alive and part of the world. I've screenshotted every single one so far.Dr. Stab posted:With cheap items to max IVs and change nature, ability, EVs and terra type, the only actual hard parts of building a competitive pokemon are hidden abilities and getting 0 attack IVs if you're a grognard. Ohh, okay. That language caused me to have the perception that either IVs or previously accumulated EVs would determine how much they gain each level thereafter. Good to know. Edit: So there are berries that lower EVs so that you can use vitamins, correct? Can you tell how many berries you need to use by looking at the Pokemon's summary, or do you need to talk to someone who checks that info, or what?

So when a Pokemon teras, it becomes defensively that type. But if an electric Pokemon teras to a different type, can it now be paralyzed? Or do they retain certain benefits of their original type?

Practically on top of each other when I started the battle.  I couldn't believe it lol. If anyone in here is good with math, could you estimate what the odds of this happening is?

Finally hit credits at 110 hours. Wow! Everything about this game and its story blow SwSh out of the water. The campaign endings as well as the crater story were very satisfying. I'll have to go back and read the spoilered posts to see what everyone's thoughts are. Finished the game with 361 caught so it should be pretty smooth sailing towards the shiny charm. I think the CG cutscenes really did a lot for the story's charm. The part where everyone hops on Koraidon's back and Arven grabs your hand as you guys fly down was pretty sweet for example. I'm just happy because I hated SwSh so much that I thought the series was doomed. Really pleasantly surprised this time around despite the game's problems.
