do you have to buy the bread in this game?

or can you go into the sandwich shops and say, "can I have some bread? It's for a duck."

By the time I'd finished exploring the first area on foot and made it to the school town I somehow had evolved my starter cat once, caught a shiny Hoppip, and evolved a Happiny I'd caught holding an oval stone at lvl 7 into a Blissey at lvl 9...

Meanwhile a picnic at egg lvl 0 has netted nothing in the basket in close to an hour? Do I need to get the basket explained to me before eggs will appear or something?

Game is definitely underbaked in all kinds of areas.

Shinies make the sparkle and sound when you start a battle with them, not when you spawn them in like in PLA.

Found a Red-flower Floetta (Fairy type that holds a flower) with Tera type Grass, which I thought was really cool because its Ability makes all Grass allies (intended for doubles battles, obviously) immune to status effects, which now include itself while it's Terastylized. Neat!

Tera transformations are gonna be such a strategic explosion, if this hasn't been made clear enough.

Other interesting tera finds: a Jolly Ice-Tera Charcadet, a male Water-Tera Pichu (future surfing Rai-guy?), a Jolly Steel-Tera Falinks (named 'The Horns' and wearing a Rocky Helmet ATM), among too many others, and I noticed that only one of the Tandemaus wears the Normal-tera diamond ring hat (all the single ladies?)!

I should take a pic of the Dragon-tera Finneon I caught it looked like I was fighting a western classic winged dragon with a fish-shaped body! I don't know if it looks good on all pokemon but for a first sighting for me it worked really well.

Is there a better dedicated capture mon than kricketune?

Dreadnaw (chewtle evo) with false swipe and shell armor ability (no getting crit) is a good wall I already used in my first Gen8 capture run. Bring something else for grass and ghost.

Also Scythers learn false swipe and arent Kricketune

E: So does Falinks but mine's wearing a Rocky Helmet atm, so-

Seriously though if you want an all-in-one (whether making a catching set or a gym-tackling set):

Breloom (with Spore, fighting/grass, & can learn False Swipe) is tough to beat, so long as it doesn't, like, look at a bird by mistake.

Shame the best new 'mon seems to be Maushold with Thunder Wave and Hyper Fang, IME.

I found a pack of the dolphin Pokemon but I can't get it yet because I can't swim. :mad:

In the East near to the elec-gym town there you can actually walk quite far into the water "on the sandbars" as it were, on the way to the islands. I tried to catch gyarados and dolphin there, no problem on foot or dragonback.

Kinda weird that they have full moons in this game but no item to evolve Ursaring during one (PLA exclusive evo, I assume). Also no way to skip forward in time in ScarVio so it would be a real PITA to do, anyway

How does this game look run and feel worse than arceus which came out… 10 months ago

pokemon: now with textures! battle system intact again!

sacrifices include: dramatically less clothing options, shadows that flicker and pop-in, a new white bar/line that appears on the left side of the screen when you press A to proceed dialogue while the camera is panning (missingno cousin?)... and so much more!

The fact that the 30, 40, and 50 year old NPCs are also students wearing the same uniform makes me think they just ran out of time

Man I like Pokémon and I liked sword and shield but this feels like it’s not even close to a beta

I think those forever-students are hilarious but I suppose if I stop to think beyond how funny/sad it is I would realize that none of those adult students can be seen on school grounds.

Frankly I miss my OP dodge roll and I wish my dragonbike would just step over the bugs and birds that I can't see on the ground.

It's also really weird to be locked in a fight to catch a Salazzle with all her male paramours watching and panicking in the background, and none of them are attacking me. She's your queen! Losers

Also why did they not bring back the NPC to reset EVs.

This service was Isle of Armor DLC only in SwSh.

That said, with how easy everything else has become breeding/learning/training-wise, this is a very good point to bring up.

On the other hand, this is the first pokemon where there are NPCs in the modern towns who don't have anything to say to you and they look like they're on their smoke break outside the chain restaurant. Laziness or realism?

Did anyone else find a wandering glowing normal-tera Torkoal in regions vaguely to the west of school?

Drought is so handy this generation, as are fire types... is Normal a good tera type for Torkoal, for STAB Rapid Spin and Explosion?
