There’s apparently a vocal ending theme at least Also for those that played the game early via the leak was your experience this buggy? Because I don’t realły remember hearing about any of this stuff until now

So what’s the requisite generic bird and rodent of this game and are they worth using at all? Also how does the whole Tera system work and how soon in the game can you start using it/doing raids (also can your starter use it as well)?

Also if Pokémon can fight on their own does that mean you can also catch them on your own without having to battle ala Legends?

Like I said, I’m not gonna be able to play this myself until tomorrow but I’ve already got the beginnings of a team in mind based on the posts I’ve seen here: -Quaxly (I’ve gone with water every time and haven’t regretted it so far) -Flamigo -Wattrel -Nymble (I’m aware its first form isn’t great but Kamen Rider Pokemon is too good to pass up) -Klawf Any recommendations/substitutions (for example, is there a decent wild fire type you can find early on)? I also have no shame in using legendaries since I don’t play competitively that much so at least one of those guys is probably getting swapped out later in the game anyway Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Nov 19, 2022 |

CatstropheWaitress posted:what's up with the effective/supereffective being visible in the attack menu? It seems to turn on/off at random. That’s been a thing in the franchise since at least SuMo (but only against Pokémon you’ve encountered already). It’s pretty handy to be honest Anyway finally got to actually play this and it’s fun so far (the story and characters are also much more enjoyable than SwSh). I kind of wish they’d kept the feature from Arceus where you could just chuck balls at Pokémon from the overworld without having to initiate a battle first but it’s not a dealbreaker or anything

I haven’t encountered much in the way of major glitches yet but I will say the game does drain the Switch’s battery supply pretty quickly while in handheld mode (I’ve gone from 100% to 81% in the span of a couple minutes of play) Edit: I’ve been informed this is apparently not the game’s fault so nevermind I guess That aside, I will say that Nemona is a really likable rival character so far Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Nov 20, 2022 |

I kind of like that Team Star is basically just a group of juvenile delinquents, also I think this might be the longest period you’ve gone in a Pokémon game prior to meeting the requisite professor. I like that Terastallization gives Pokémon little visual changes as well (like a giant lightbulb for Pawmi and a waterspout for Quaxly) You guys weren’t kidding, Flamigo is a loving beast stat wise (especially early on) Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Nov 21, 2022 |

On my way to the first Titan, I assume they’re like Totem Pokemon and can’t be caught right? I also assume you get to fight Nemona at her full power late in the game as hinted at early on They really could have made the Pokemon in the overworld a little bigger though, I keep running into wild encounters by accident (especially when in tall grassy areas)

I don’t have the map locations memorized but was thinking of tackling the Earth Titan, Fire base, and Grass gym first. What’s the minimum level recommendation for those (I can always grind off some Tera raids if need be)?

The Bee posted:I don't recall specifics, but the fire base is definitely spicier than the other two. Heck, Team Star in general is the harder content, which may be why the game seems to push for going east or west for the gym and titan content first. Ah, the PokeCenter I talked to recommended the Grass gym first and I figured I’d tackle those since they were on their way and I had a couple Water types on hand, though it’s possible the recommendations are based on location rather than level

Eiba posted:Oh it's 100% proximity. I read someone say it told you what was next level appropriate and that was a lie because it told us to do the titan of the lake and that was loving hard. We did it though and the reward was great, but yeah... don't listen to the pokecenter advice! Ah, that's not as helpful a feature as I assumed it was then. Well, my starter's already in the 20's with a few attack upgrades thanks to raids so for the moment i guess I'll just stay the course and see what happens. Also I kind of like that walking past a trainer doesn't automatically initiate a battle anymore (speaking of, how long does it take before you encounter someone with more than 2 Pokemon on hand?)

So on Tera raids, is it possible for the Pokémon to break out of the ball like they could in the Dynamax raids or is it a guaranteed catch? Also when do harder raids start appearing? All I’ve been getting are 1 and occasionally 2 star rated ones so far Framboise posted:Also also this game absolutely sucks older Switch batteries dry so fast. My girlfriend, who plays exclusively handheld, was complaining about how fast hers drained, then I showed her how my battery was lower than hers after playing handheld for about half as long. She's got the newer version with the better battery lol Oh good so it’s not just me then, if you get a new Switch you can transfer everything over just by logging into your profile right?
