Okay, after all this time I have finished most of the game and can now get back to reading the thread and... oh god I've missed so much didn't I? Haven't played with any guides, just going by in-game info. I still have no idea about so many changes  I also see talk of new Pokemon? I didn't even finish catching the Paradox ones! Hell I didn't even get to finish a single shrine, I did find some random stakes tho. Got to the point where the history teacher marked it on my map, so I'll get onto that. So I'm halfway through the post-game, but decided to take a detour to finally finish all my lessons at the academy in case it is needed for the big thing at the end and boy, the music will haunt my loving dreams. What a bizzare choice to never change it.

Flopsy posted:Tera raids for more paradox mons available at the moment if you're interested. Both versions are available for online raids thank god but Scarlet players are eating good today I must say. I love my fluffy water raptor child. Oh, how to find these on the map? Do I need to get lucky with the right type raid or are these special raids marked somehow? AMD what's that about 7 star ones? I've never seen or beaten any 5* ones, any tips on going for them. My good dogs are around lvl 70, but still struggle sometimes...

Ah so the consensus is that Penny is the worst of the 3 rivals in SV. I was wondering what the thread opinion was.

I geniuenly mean that. Nemona is a great rival and her fights are very good and well paced. Arven... he's great. His plot (and the entirety of Area Zero plot) is some of the most brutal and completely unhinged writing I've ever seen in a Pokemon game, and all he wanted was to feed some sandwiches to his sick puppy. Meanwhile Penny contributes virtually nothing as most of the time she's a disembodied undercover voice and her plot is mostly inconsequential to the rest of the game. She's there because we needed an "evil" team and she got to be the leader. I will admit that I'm really happy with her battle team tho, I've always wanted to create one like that and it's great there's someone who can competently pull off that gimmick in the games.

With Difficulty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzdOB5V7UCw This person completed a whole Living Dex in Gen 2 and it was a much bigger trip than everyone anticipated. They also did Gen 1, which was rather easy as it was only two games, so even if there were some difficulties, you just had to play the game a few times. Now they're attempting to make a Gen 3 one and it seems like it'll be a loooooooong endavour.

I somehow always end up with a team that's weak to electric I just can't seem to find any good ground/rock types I like. Gigalith was a workhorse of my Gen V team, but that dude died to a wet rag and most of his use was "send out the Sturdy one, giving me a chance to revive 2". Really should play more with Pooper. Little dude completely no-sold Ionos gym, but alas I benched him afterward.

My main gripe with Violet is still how badly optimized it is. This is worse than pre-Plat gen IV, it's just tiring to play.

Yes, and I would like to keep playing after the story to complete the pokedex, but the performance just pushes me away. It's so tedious. And it's not just rain, it's all weather, like the sandstorm that sweeps over the water town (), that tanks the framerate like no other. Still like it and probably will buy the DLC, but this time I will pay close attention to performance. SwSh managed to improve on that with DLC so I kinda have hopes for Violet.

AlternateNu posted:Then you get the weird shinies that change color palette when they evolve when the non-shiny variants don't? This has something to do with how early shiny data was stored, like they didn't actually want to do 252 sprites recolored. Gameboy images took data from two sources - the sprite (arrangement of pixels) and the palette (what color those pixels should be). So, for a simple trick, when the game declared the Pokemon was shiny, the sprite was read from the same place, but there was a different (I don't know exactly how different, a flipped bit, some sort of equation?) palette loaded. And violla, now you got all the Pokemon in different colors. Except you know, not all palettes are created equal. And the palettes that were being used for shiny weren't only Pokemon ones, as all graphics follows this rule. Since there is a lot of outdoors in Pokemon, there is a lot of green palettes for the changed bit to land on. So it might be because the Palettes for Marril and Azumarril are from two different areas of the cart, and then Azuril was made green to fit the theme? I don't know when did they move from this method of shiny calculation, possibly as late as Gen 4.

Sultan Tarquin posted:I gave it a quick bash, cassette beasts is great too and I loaded up White 2 and instantly started actually having fun. I recommend Coromon, it's what Pokemon would have become if it never moved to 3D. It's on every platform under the sun. Yeah I finished Violet's story, and even wanted to try an attempt to complete the Pokedex, but my god is everything so slow. My eyes just slide off it. I like everything about it except actually playing it. I think I will skip the DLC as well, I've got no hype left for this. Especially since there will be games to play this autumn.

 And on top of that, a Pokemon can be an Alpha in Arceus, meaning they get glowing red eyes and a distortion effect on their cry.

SwSh feels like a lot of misplaced effort - on one hand, the places that they bothered to put some design into, like the big central city, not-London and the fairy grove forest were very pretty with nice vistas. On the other hand, the ones with encounters were loving one screen long corridors with no offshoots. It all felt so empty, like everything you can interact with was moved to the big open area. It also featured some of the most cumbersome navigation in the series (that one desert road with ladders was so bad).

Wait isn't Clover that racist/hate filled romhack from 4chan? Because they had the idea for a solid Pokemon game and a joke one, and only the joke one got made, didn't it? The other one was Sage, still in the making afair.

Yo but for real shoutout to the last well-optimized 3D mailnile title. While undercooked and feeling unfinished at parts, X and Y were a monumental step forward over BW/2 and I enjoyed them immensely. Even though people put more praise in SuMo, I have returned to PokeFrance a lot more than I did to PokeHawai. We didn't know how good we had it. The designs were great and new mechanics and moves did a lot to shake up the formula in a fun way, and X/Y need to be recognized for that. Plus having this banger be the final track in the Team Flare Music Evolution Line was very much worth it.

Muscle Tracer posted:It's particularly egregious when you're trying to do stuff between games. Like, moving an Ursaring from SV to Home to Arceus and then doing anything with it requires three different control schemes to do exactly the same actions. It's like something out of User Inyerface. When I fire up Violet after a break I want to see my team. Without failure, every single time I open, in this order: the Pokedex, the map and then the menu.

Last Celebration posted:Paradox Volcorona having its wings be satellite bits is cool as heck, but it also illustrates the problem where the future paradox mons usually only really shine in motion. Iron Bundle just looks like a shiny Delibird, until it gets attacks and it turns out it’s a toy, for instance. Yeah, I love the animations for Iron Brundle. I just hate the name.
