I know this is predominantly an american forum, but did anyone else here get the EU/AUS/NZ versions and choose someone other than weed cat?

I got myself a ditto and have secured some weed cat eggs i'm up for trading for access to fabulous duck and fire croc.

Would love a weed cat egg but I've already made a deal to exchange a cassoulet recipe for one and I don't want to renege on that. Honestly though I have no where near access at the moment to make you some top tier quaxly eggs. I need to transfer my breeding stable to start making proper battle beasts.

They also created the most insane move ever this gen

Population Bomb, 30 base power Multi-Hit move that hits between 1-10 times. And there's a held item that skews it to the upper end. And the Pokemon who gets it has Technician and a version of Dragon Dance that clears entry hazards.

I did some calculations on it and if you high-roll you can just delete literally anything that doesn't have an immunity or 4x resist.


Guess it mitigates them low stats with sheer skill alone.

So doing a little homework I found the main cause of this poo poo is memory leak and the worst of it can be alleviated by restarting the game. Still they absolutely need to make a patch for this.

That's certainly not the only thing making the performance bad. It's frequently bad right after starting up the game.

From what I heard that's the main issue going in but I'm hoping they wouldn't half rear end the second patch considering how poo poo this all is.

the Home app said in unambiguous terms there was a banwave for "altered data" but as best as anybody can figure out they actually meant weird url spammers and particularly egregious hacks. and I still havent heard of somebody getting banned

Yeah that scared the poo poo out me so I mass deleted all the shiny url wonder trash I had. Really they were kinda useless as I could no longer use them to get the rare exchanges I wanted and a lot of them were just hideous. So far as I can tell they haven't noticed poo poo and I have access to everything so it's fine?

And another thing - in Brilliant Diamond I would box my entire party after every gym to make the game more difficult.

However, here because of the weird tristory system and the fact the game keeps throwing strong and varied pokemon at you this doesn't seem like that's a good method.

Anyone else has their own methods for increasing difficulty?

This has been a surprisingly difficult trek for me. Not quite on Legends par but it's up there. Mela was a loving slaughter machine I spammed my way through. It's also slowly begun to dawn on me that team Star is actually stronger than the gym leaders so that's pretty wild. Also Clavell is becoming one of my favorite characters and I did not see that coming. I thought he was going to be the secret villain or something but it turns out he's literally the embodiment of of "How do you do fellow kids!". He's a massive nerd and it's kind of adorable.

I literally cannot decide between Sprigatito and Fuecoco. I dislike Sprig stage one but their evo’s are very good whereas Fuecoco is perfect throughout. Problem is I like ghost Pokémon and wanna catch the new ones but knowing Fuecoco eventually goes ghost is turning me off it. Also I have always picked grass up to this point. I have a serious brain problem. Someone help me. This is a game for babies.

They got you young just like the rest of us. Just accept you're in the brain rot pit but you're in good company. Also you can just ask somebody for an egg and do both, it's working splendidly on my end.

Been playing a physical copy on handheld and I feel like i've dodged a bullet with the worst of the jank. Aside from occasional slowdown of npcs in the distance, phasing through doors once or twice, and the camera slightly dipping into a the ground once during a battle I haven't gotten anything really and I'm grateful.

Just got through the desert zone to the west town. I appreciate them putting mazes back in the game, after all the routes in sword/shield that were barely disguised corridors. I like a good maze.

Me and Arven are apparently a pretty decent team. We finished off the Titan in only two turns.

Saw a Klawf hanging from a wall. Only problem was, it was two or three feet clear of the wall, hanging in the air.

My team now has 5 mons in it, I added Barbecute the Charcadet.

Finding a charcadet is an absolute motherfucker in this game. For presumably being everywhere they're extremely hard to find. Kinda had to give up my dreams of using a ceruledge because the one I caught has a modest nature. She's too well suited (heh) to being an armarouge.

I honestly do appreciate that this game has some simpler Pokémon designs. Kinda nice to have "just a flamingo" and "just some mice, but more" again. Feels like a return to Gen 1 designs.

Also Clodsire is one of my new favorite Pokémon ever. It's perfect.

I named mine Sploot because his natural position is like one of my cats dragging themselves across the carpet.

I'm going to be posting my review once I've finished the game. But for those upset thinking the games are forcing you into a set pattern just raid battle and pick up some exp. candies. I did Katy first just because she seemed the easiest but if you want to improvise from there the path is open.

Okay it's probably explained in one of the terrible terrible dialogue boxes I've been mashing through, but I do not understand the area numbers. The left side of the island it seemed obvious like oh okay so area twos seem to be like level 20+. But then this desert has mobs that are like 30+, but the trainers are all around my lower 20s level? So okay maybe i'll try exploring the right side. Oh area two is on the other side of area three, I guess I'm gonna to be needing to avoid really tough encounters for area three while I make my way to area two! Oh wait no, this Pokemon I just ran into in area 3 is level 14. What on earth?

I know people hate this kind of thing cause I guess it ruins the mystery of the open worldness, but I would love for it to just show a Pokemon level range on the map in each spot so I can get a better sense of things.
