Oh, that's nice
You can transfer stuff from Scarlet/Violet, back to other games like Sword/Shield.
Didn't think they'd make that possible.
Y'know it's weird, but is there a reason as to why Carbink can be brought over to Scarlet/Violet?
Best reason I can think of is that Diancie can, and it would be a little off if Diancie can, but Carbink can't

already posted in here, yes
spice rivet
Def excited, been working on my living OT dex just for this
Unfortunately, it also means I may have to playthrough Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for the version exclusive UBs because I refuse to buy the SwSh DLC
Playing through Shield again has honestly been the worst part of this project tbh. So many pokemon (especially Gen 8 ones) have baffling spawn conditions and just low spawn rates in general
kind vortex
so do we know yet how to get hisuan evolutions out of base non-hisuians in sv? or is it just gonna be 'transfer them to pla and evolve them there'
bleak pine
So what I'm thinking, is that there likely will be Raid events
spice rivet
Probs that, then an area in one of the DLC will let you cheat out Regional variant evos
bleak pine
Where we might either get the items necessary to evolve them, or just do raids against these Hisuian mons
Thing is, you can evolve Stantler into Wyrdeer. It's just, Stantler can't learn Psyshield Bash, except as an egg move
spice rivet
Oh ya, those too. 1 raid for each with the mightiest mark
kind vortex
i think we'll see raids, but i don't think it'll be too soon
bleak pine
So what I'm guessing is there may also be a possibility that raids could just give a Stantler that knows the move
kind vortex
hopefully i'm wrong

Sprigatito is capricious and attention-seeking, and it tends to sulk if ignored by people. Sprigatito can rub its paws together to unleash a sweet, therapeutic aroma that mesmerizes anyone near it and causes its foes to stop battling. The scent becomes more potent when Sprigatito is exposed to sunlight. Sprigatito can absorb moisture into its fur by grooming it, which helps it to perform photosynthesis. It washes its face regularly to avoid drying out.

What do I do after I catch/defeat Palkia/Dialga?
mighty storm
go to sunyshore
slate marlin
My game’s in Japanese translated to Chinese, what is Sunshore in Japanese?
slate marlin
Ok. The one near the bottom right, right?
mighty storm
yes
slate marlin
The weird thing is my Empoleon was the only mon in my team to survive the Palkia.
Was I doing something wrong then?
mighty storm
that route leads you to sunyshore city, go to the lighthouse there and find Volkner. He will then return to the sunyshore gym for you to beat him up
slate marlin
Ok.
slate marlin
I’m kinda worried, since almost my entire team got sweeped by Palkia.
Like, they didn’t even get a hit in.
In the end, it was only Empoleon who beat it,
mighty storm
this isnt all the mons, but a decent chunk of the ones I still need
plenty of these I most likely have on sword

Are you for real
I mean, I appreciate them letting us know sooner than later, but jeez
sharp kernel
They can't get anything right this gen
This is just false. This has actually been an extremely enjoyable Gen
Sucks about home though, I have dittos I need to transfer
kind vortex
something had to have happened internally imo
the announcement took a day or so to retract
so clearly they intended to post the original announcement, it got approval and everything
but the timing with that and the paradox raid fucking up and having to be postponed
like yes, this has been an extremely enjoyable gen; it's probably the most fun i've had playing a standard pokemon game, and i've been playing since 2001
but there's a point where all the technical difficulties and other issues start to get too intrusive
like, i would have expected the issue causing the paradox raid postponement to be fixed with just a bit of simple playtesting
crimson moat
https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1659627928223662104
Wow.
kind vortex
so while i'd disagree with the notion that they can't get anything right this gen (they certainly hit the right notes for making it fun to play), it's totally reasonable to criticize these issues that keep popping up
crimson moat
Yeah the only other game that took this long or had significant issues with this was BDSP
snow oasis

spreading misinformation
hexed valley
i didnt know bro
vagrant steppe
I think this gen is fun enough, but it just feels so empty and soulless even without the technical issues
There's no reason to explore, no side quests, you can't even go in buildings
I can't even remember any notable places outside the city that crashed my switch and the lighthouse?
kind vortex
there's plenty of places to explore, but it boils down to 'hunt items and do raids'
i'd agree that the game could use more side missions and stuff
this is my hopium speaking but i think gen 10's games might improve on this
they have this and pla to draw from for those games
you take the best of both games and get something truly great with gen 10
just don't fuck up the technical stuff
vagrant steppe
That and the sheer technical issues are fucking insane yeah
Like this is probably the worst running first party switch gane
I think it's the base for the start of a good game, but I shouldn't have to pay $60 for "oh this will be a good game in a gen or two"
kind vortex
it'd be great if they could actually have a meaningful amount of time to develop the games
kind vortex
totk took what, 6 years?
pokemon games are lucky to get 3 iirc
like i'd take even one extra year's worth of wait if it gets us a more polished game and doesn't kill the development team
sharp kernel
Totk also has 0 online features
vagrant steppe
The online part of pokemon isnt the main focus tho
It's kind of an afterthought
And yeah, it really is an issue of them rushing these games out
silver vigil
SV are really fun, awful games
sharp kernel
It’s like me saying why is totk just a worse god of war/elden ring in every way despite getting twice the amount of development time
silver vigil
this has always been my take
vagrant steppe
Yeah they're fun games that are kinda terrible
kind vortex
It’s like me saying why is totk just a worse god of war/elden ring in every way ...
i've seen some people actually doing this and it's really braindead shit
vagrant steppe
They're massively unfinished and have tons of issues
I'm still stunned there's basically no interiors
snow oasis
i've seen some people actually doing this and it's really braindead shit
someone was unironically saying that totk was a worse garry’s mod on reddit earlier

It’s the same feel though. Comparing the pressure and deadlines gamefreak has vs Zelda getting all the time in the world to pump out new games is night and day. Even arceus was great despite also having a 3 year development cycle
kind vortex
get a room
vagrant steppe
At the end of the day tho, Zelda is competent, finished and runs
The same can't be said for SV
silver vigil
it's annoying that I love hisuian growlithe
vagrant steppe
If nothing else, the technicial issues are super unacceptable
silver vigil
but hate hisuian arcanine
warm sky
SV are really fun, awful games
Yeah that's how I felt at the end.
kind vortex
It’s the same feel though. Comparing the pressure and deadlines gamefreak has vs...
my point was that giving them more time to develop the games before release would be great, using totk's 6 years as a reference point
i think even one more year in the oven would have helped
sharp kernel
Yeah, but I’m saying comparing Pokémon to Zelda is worthless because we already saw what happens when gamefreak gets actual time in arceus
mighty storm
Inb4 it actually does release on the 24th
kind vortex
wasn't pla also like 3 years?
sharp kernel
Yes, but it was gamefreak’s sole game since another team was doing bdsp
vagrant steppe
1 more year means it probably wouldn't have as many perfomance issues
kind vortex
pla felt fresh and gave a good base to work off of, imo
jagged linden
but there's a point where all the technical difficulties and other issues start ...
agreeded
Scarlet/Violet are definitely steps in the right direction
kind vortex
i really enjoyed playing it, and even return to it every now and again
vagrant steppe
Before this, I hadn't seen a switch game crash except one time in hades
silver vigil
how are LGPE the best looking mainseries games on the switch
kind vortex
but that doesn't really change a lot of my critique of sv
jagged linden
but I can't help but feel some of the polishing issues are 1-2 step fixes that really could have been fixed in minutes
vagrant steppe
LGPE are also the best running ones, it's funny
Also, for as boring as SwSh are, they're way more polished than SV
kind vortex
i don't think it's so simple that these are fixes that could be made in minutes; otherwise, i feel like they'd already be fixed
jagged linden
like how laggy the game gets in water areas simply because spawning isn't restricted(even underwater mons) during battles
vagrant steppe
Some of the stuff is definitely super obivious shit missed in play testing
But there's just a ton of performance issues
sharp kernel
SV in general has the best ideas, the best challenge and a top 2 story,
kind vortex
my biggest current gripe is the stuff that got the paradox raids postponed
sharp kernel
The only mistake was giving us accesss to Flamigo so early
vagrant steppe
Ehh the challenge wasn't really there imo
sharp kernel
Flamigo trivialized the game
kind vortex
flamigo was a huge game design mistake and i will stand by that to this day
vagrant steppe
And that's a big issue with the lack of level scaling or any indication of the correct way to explore
jagged linden
raids in general were super broken on release
kind vortex
it's to the point i'm shocked it took speedrunners as long as it did to use it
jagged linden
I'd be surprised if the issues were genuinly missed
vagrant steppe
The correct way to do the gyms is randomly zig-zagging across the map
And there's no indication of where to go next in game
jagged linden
The correct way to do the gyms is randomly zig-zagging across the map
yeah that's one of the most annoying things about the deisng
silver vigil
thats bc they pretend the game is non linear
vagrant steppe
With level scaling, it wouldn't be an issue
jagged linden
doesn't help the nurses only point you towards the nearest objective
silver vigil
I think the intent was to do actual scaling
jagged linden
regardless of scaling
vagrant steppe
(Hell, just make 8 teams for each gym leader)
silver vigil
but they had a pokemon moment
vagrant steppe
Like you don't have to do radred scaling
You just have to have a check for "how many badges does the player have"
silver vigil
salt cure working on the titans is also ????
vagrant steppe
If none, use their shitmon team. If 8, use their good team
jagged linden
(Hell, just make 8 teams for each gym leader)
feel like that's easier said than done tbh
the funniest thing is
kind vortex
sturdy salt cure cheese is how i did the titans early
jagged linden
the framework is technically already there
vagrant steppe
There's also still a lack of trainers who use more than like 3 pokemon or even any hold items tbh
jagged linden
(because of the rematch teams)
crimson moat
Even if you don’t go in order, you level up well quick enough to do them slightly out of order without any issue. This leads to anything not done in order being pathetically easy afterwards

vagrant steppe
I don't think these kind of things are hard to implement considering gba rom hacks have been doing it for 15 years
kind vortex
it probably won't, but i can hope
jagged linden
I got stonewalled by the water gym
kind vortex
I don't think these kind of things are hard to implement considering gba rom hac...
gba rom hacks also don't have development deadlines and shit to deal with
vagrant steppe
That's true. But it should be way easier to implement this stuff in the switch, surely
crimson moat
I highly doubt getting stonewalled by a gym is common tbh
silver vigil
I feel like we're way overstating how hard making 64 teams of half the same pokemon is
vagrant steppe
True. Half the time, their mons won't vary much
Just evolve things based on level and add a new mon
crimson moat
You could always do 8 teams and scale them in pairs of events
vagrant steppe
Also, I just really feel like it's worth repeating that there's just not much to do in the world
There's no reason to explore other than finding mons. There's hardly any side quests
You can't even go indoors
silver vigil
also the gym puzzles are broken
vagrant steppe
There's like 5 interiors in the whole game (and the gym interior is the same one reused for all 8 gyms)
crimson moat
Frontiers, while it has its share of problems, downtime isn’t one of them, but that’s because it avoids that issue by making your character really fast
vagrant steppe
Which can lead to funny glitches. Like if you get a Tauros stuck in the doors of a gym, you're locked out of all 8 gyms until it's fixed
crimson moat
And will absolutely say TotK alleviates anyone’s concerns over pacing if they had them in botw, because vehicles really help with transportation and getting where wanted on the map. Not to mention is accessible anywhere
kind vortex
one thing they won't bring back in the dlc, but i wish they did, is the bunch of removed options that used to be core in pokemon games
the two big ones being animation settings and shift/set mode
crimson moat
Remember, they made sound options an earned item in SwSh
kind vortex
i had actually forgotten about that lol
crimson moat
There’s no limit to how dumb their decisions are or can be
silver vigil
I just realised
Iron Moth's existence brings back the dubious existence of animals in the pokemon universe question
kind vortex
didn't meat do that
silver vigil
true
vagrant steppe
Isn't it just canon that you eat pokemon now
placid junco
Pretty much
kind vortex
possibly? but i don't think that changes much
gen 8 had such generic meat items as sausages, and gen 9 gets things like ham
neither of them hint at being made from pokemon
placid junco
Ham in the same region lechonk exists

ham that's not specified to be from lechonk or oinkologne

ham that's not specified to be from lechonk or oinkologne
Iirc back in the day the implication was the pokemon was so advanced/science fantasy that all meat in the "modern day" was synthesized
They seemed to have thrown this piece of lore out/nobody reads thier lore bible anymore
Early pokemon lore also implies animals also do exist, but they just dont acknowledge it.

According to the dedicated support page, this means if your subscription lapses, you'll only be able to access the 30 most recently deposited Pokémon. The others will be hidden from your sight as if they never existed. They'll re-appear once you re-subscribe.

In Master EX canon, Hop, Marnie and Bede beat Leon Gloria and Victor to become champs

They should give Weepinbell a Sun Stone evolution
Given Oddish and Bellsprout were version equivalents iirc?

Do you guys like Sudowoodo?

Vileplume just looks like friend
You want forgetable
Look at Chimecho
Unless someone kept up with Advance Battle, they seriously wouldn’t remember Chimecho in most cases
The worst part is, Chimecho is hekkin’ adorable
Aaaaa
As far as Vileplume being notable
Uh
…It has the Chlorophyll ability and has a pretty nice Sp. Atk stat
Compared to Venusaur, you can do more attacking strategies with it compared to Venusaur being more defense-oriented
Really, though, this tends to just be something a lot of grass types introduced in RBY have going for them: they almost all have Chlorophyll, and nearly all of them learn the exact same friggin’ moves
Exeggcute at least does things differently, and Tangela is only slightly different
Oh right, Paras exists. But really, eh.

Honestly, they might as well
tacit sphinx
Like, Power of Unown stuff
bleak pine
You keep hearing about all this 'power' the Unown possess, but never get to see it in the games
Only times stuff happens is in the anime. Case in point, a lot of the third movie was based around Unown.
It would also be a funny way to actually have the task of catching all 27 unown actually mean something if this could be the end goal
tacit sphinx

You wanna hear my take about Unown?
They’re depicted as somehow related to Arceus, right
And the language they represent doesn’t exist in the Pokemon world
bleak pine
Eeyep
tacit sphinx
This is cheesy but I like to think Unown is the source code lmao
tacit sphinx
It’s the language the world is written in
bleak pine
It does sound plausible
tacit sphinx
Arceus rewriting the universe in the Sinjoh Ruins is just
making an edit to the code
That’s why the Unown all show up
bleak pine
...So, Arseus really is just a C+ coder
I just realized I made a typo in its name but it's funny so I'm not editting that

Yea, it's mostly exacerbated this gen since you can't enter 90% of buildings tho
