Can I not just have my Pokemon follow me? I absolutely blazed through the tutorial boxes because this game vomits so much text at you when I just want to get going so I may have missed it. But R does have the Pokemon come out of the ball, but apparently he'll get into fights on his own? I'd rather they... not do that, but I'd like to still have them follow me. But also if you get to far he just auto goes back into the pokeball. Can they not keep up?

Also wow this game runs like crap. This and the second Rabbids game are really bumming me out by how bad they run

if you paid attention you would have seen that the game told you to press ZR to put the pokemon back in the ball :)

I accidentally explored too much and didn't guess right on the level progression of some areas and completely stomped some activities because I was at least ten levels higher than them. I was fine being under leveled for some other areas because it added some challenge and I couldn't just tell garchomp to earthquake everything to death.

Something cool would be that when you activate a flight point it'll tell you the level range around it.

Oh and you should all explore as much as you can and fight every trainer as there's some good rewards from the dude at the poke centers. Also there's some cool tera pokemon littered around that seem to be there on purpose as the types make some sense to them instead of being completely random.

Just explore. Stop asking for directions and explore.

I wish it had the mechanic in swsh where the map screen (or was it the Pokédex itself? It’s been a while) would tell you there were Pokémon you needed for the Pokédex somewhere as a suggested destination.

Eh, kind of. It doesn’t tell you if those Pokémon are actually spawning in those areas right now though like swsh did.

I’m pretty sure swsh would also highlight if there were active Pokémon you hadn’t even seen yet out there to be caught so you didn’t have to look up anything externally.

They spawn there but you have to go explore, that's what's fun about it

Last night I completed my team after some kind soul wonder-traded a Fuecoco to me. (I have like 5 weed cats, so weed cat owners are the most generous wonder-traders)
I also finally got my second badge.

The area grayed out on my map in the north east: That's postgame stuff right? Miridon can't climb up it but also the ocean is grayed out so I assume I can swim there. IDK I'm just exploring and catching not really bothering with the gyms. Or team Star. Team star isn't hurting anybody so I feel no need to wreck their bases other than they're bad students.

So are we allowed to talk about major story spoilers yet? Because I'd love to get into whatever the hell is dwelling at the bottom of area Zero.

I think it's probably an expansion fodder. But it's cool you can catch another one of the box art legendaries down there. It's a very cool area that reminds me of the cave Mewtwo was in at gen1 and one of the few proper dungeons in the 3d era. There are a few cool caves in the foothills of the big snow mountain but this is an entirely proper jrpg dungeon

However, I'm having fun trying not to use a guide to search up all of black stakes that I presume are needed for the Chinese legends. I found one of the seals but don't know where the other two are. It's fun to not spoil myself and try to find it on my own.

Like nature is slowly overtaking all these old research outposts but it's clear something went horribly loving wrong here.

I was going to wait til after the Charizard raid but gently caress it, I'm impatient, I want to play through the game again with an entirely different team and at a more leisurely pace. And we don't have access to Home yet, correct? Can anybody hang onto my legendaries and starter and one or two other guys, and then trade them back to me a couple hours later when I've unlocked trading?
In return, if you're a scarlet player, I can send you over some of the version exclusive/ paradox mons. Keep in mind that they're rare and I haven't even seen half of them spawn, but I can make an effort. PM if interested.

Apricorn balls can also be bought in infinite supply at the auction but they’re also by a wide margin the most expensive items in the game, probably running you around 400,000 each. So you’ll have to work for your aesthetics.
