[viscid adder]

are these sprites, or are they artwork?

[patent rivet]

Icon artwork?

[viscid adder]

...yeah that seems right

[patent rivet]

Like they're drawings, but for the icons

[viscid adder]

they do look nice though

he can boing

[hazy scarab]

4 titans down

[tawny willow]

is it possible to get a own tempo rockruff in these games?

[hazy scarab]

Coil is stuipid

Boosts power defence accuracy

20 pp

Thematic

[shell grail]

this help?

[tawny willow]

no. not at all

i was asking if i can get it in this game

not that it existed

[shrewd bolt]

hwat

[shell grail]

idk what it means

[shrewd bolt]

how does that help

[hazy scarab]

Wait I thought I needed to use defenceman curle directly before using rollout

[quiet tulip]

Anyone have rotom to touch trade

[hazy scarab]

It'd in your phone

[quiet tulip]

Or want to trade Koraidon for miraidon

[tawny willow]

wait. if you traded the box legendary, could you still ride it?

[hazy scarab]

I was always curling again after rollout got stopped and I needed to start a new chaun

[shell grail]

idk

[tawny willow]

or you could stop using defence curl and have it learn a better move

[hazy scarab]

Rollout funny

Spin woo

[tawny willow]

it isnt

[hazy scarab]

It is

[shell grail]

it is

[hazy scarab]

It's the equivalent of falling down family guy stairs but for the opponent

[tawny willow]

that was never funny

[hazy scarab]

But it is dumb

And if something is dumb sometimes it circles around to being funny

[shrewd bolt]

not funny to you

[shell grail]

yes

[shrewd bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/the-isle-adapt-git-gud-skill-issue-gif-23598192

[hazy scarab]

960 power is very funny

[tawny willow]

your math is way off

[hazy scarab]

Defencecurl

[tawny willow]

stiil way off

[hazy scarab]

Idk man that's what the wiki said

[tawny willow]

you will not hit 5 times every time, and by then you would of won

[hazy scarab]

99% accuracy

Also

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-15852024

[tawny willow]

90*

[hazy scarab]

Wide lens

99

[tawny willow]

and money has nothing to do with it

[hazy scarab]

Lmao

[shell grail]

someone having fun in a pokemon game!??!?!?!?

[hazy scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-team-fortress2-scout-laugh-schadenfreude-gif-20337287

Welp ima sleep

[shrewd bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-no-meme-gif-25174214

pokemon isnt about fun, its about optimal numbers

[meager oasis]

I’m only at the part where you catch the tutorial lechonk and already accidentally did a bug

I threw my sprigatito inside a wall on accident

[quiet frost]

OK, I am obviously not ready for Iron treads

[meager oasis]

I’ve seen heaps of the bugs people have found and wow

SV looks like a Roblox game wheeze

If you looked at those clips only

[patent rivet]

If you don’t look at them, it looks like a GC game with a generic and forgettable artstyle

[placid otter]

eh i like the artstyle honestly

i wouldn't call the artstyle generic, its got good character

the real issue is the fact the models are all like. Playstation 1, other than humans.

[patent rivet]

I gotta say, I hate how Ursaring’s arm hair looks

The 3D model just makes it cardboard sticking out

[viscid adder]

did another

[bronze pawn]

I've been told that I can catch another Miraidon but it doesn't seem to be there

[compact sequoia]

anyone European players wanna swap dittos?

[wanton idol]

333 registered

almost

there

[patent rivet]

My assumption is that whoever told you that meant that you catch a Miraidon that isn't the one you ride

[bronze pawn]

Yes I know

They said that

[patent rivet]

Why are you asking about catching a second one then

[bronze pawn]

It's not there

It's not where it's supposed to be

You're supposed to be able to find the second one in front of the lab in area zero after you beat the paradise protection protocol

But it's not there

[lament glen]

how many are there?

[wanton idol]

400

like swsh

[bronze pawn]

Turns out I misunderstood

I found it

Anyone on Scarlet want to trade Koraidon for Miraidon

[white jungle]

Revavroom should have gotten more coverage moves if nothing else

Steel and Poison isn't bad offensively but it's blocked by ground types and other steel types

You'd think it would at least get a decent fire move for the former but it only gets overheat

[quiet frost]

I fully believe that pokemon scarlet violet is the best main pokemon game

this is actually the only pokemon game where i like "I want more"

despite the game being long as it is I still wanted to spend more time with the characters

[patent rivet]

The game has only been out for several days

[white jungle]

Also no reason for Revavroom not to get noxious torque

Once again I could really see them releasing a Team Star event Revavroom with speed boost and noxious torque

[meager oasis]

I miss the box art legendaries being in the start screen thing :(

It ended when swsh came out

How early do you get the kiraidon mount thinng?

I’m on the first route and I see heaps of items on top of little hills and it’s driving me crazy

I’ve been trying to glitch myself up for like 20 minutes

AHA I DID IT

IVE NOW OBTAINED 1 POKEBALL

WOOOOOOO

[vestal aurora]

Sure when i get home later today i'll do it

[bronze pawn]

Epic

[vestal aurora]

I get home about 18h gmt

A little earlier maybe

[bronze pawn]

I have no idea what time that is for me

[vestal aurora]

It's almost 11h for me so in about 7h

[bronze pawn]

That would be like

Uhm

My brain no work

But 7 hours

I'll probably be asleep honestly

[vestal aurora]

Tomorrow morning then i guess

It's easier

About the same time were on right now

[sterile garnet]

Does anyone know where to find ditto?

[bronze pawn]

I'll just try finding someone else to trade

[hazy scarab]

Gamin

[bronze pawn]

I got a ditto

It has a bug tera type though

I think

Nvm

[vestal aurora]

How does terra type work with breeding

[bronze pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/good-question-meme-shrek-gif-16886109

I feel it picks one of the two parents tera type

But it might just choose a normal one

[bronze pawn]

I caught mine in West Province Area Three

[sterile garnet]

Ah thanks

[bronze pawn]

I have no idea the exact area

[timid tulip]

Strangest teratype you have caught?

[vestal aurora]

dragon rabsca

was a rellor at the time

[timid tulip]

Tf is rabsca

[vestal aurora]

this

[clear crest]

flying bramblin

[shell grail]

does it even know any flying moves?

[clear crest]

nope

but it feels thematic for wind rider

[hazy scarab]

You catch Terra types?

I have caught a flying meowth and a poison dunsparce and no other terratypes

[shell grail]

are all of your dunsparces poison?

[hazy scarab]

No

Non of them are lol

I just realized terras were a set spawn yesterday so I went trying to see if there was a dunsparce one

[shell grail]

oh ok

[night python]

if ya want a poison Dunspork why not change it at the ||place where that normal type gym is||

[hazy scarab]

Cause it's 1 a set spawn 2 costs 50 shards

[night python]

oh yeah

I hope they ether increase the number of sharts or lower the cost of the change

[granite salmon]

My friend brought her switch to school and is playing Pokemon violet

[lament glen]

https://tenor.com/view/digimon-grandlocomon-granlocomon-o1n-t1n-gif-20827547

[hazy scarab]

Good

[wanton idol]

finished the story

despite this games countless issues i really really like it

[lament glen]

Wait you did the pokedex before the story?

damn

[wanton idol]

im not done with the pokedex lmfaoo

i have like 336 mons registered

[lament glen]

All in all I kinda feel the same... tho I wouldn't say that I "really really like it". But is good

[wanton idol]

yeah they made some really stupid decisions lol

but all in all i like it ;)

and now i get to listen to ed sheeran

(pain

[lament glen]

wait really?

oh god

[wanton idol]

LOL

yep its the music in the credits

[lament glen]

can you skip it?

[wanton idol]

nope

[lament glen]

or maybe reset the game

just do

anything

[wanton idol]

LMAO wanna know smth funny

first mod for this game

was to remove the song

entirely

[lament glen]

That's just a chad move

[shell grail]

please send link

(am joking)

[wanton idol]

ah finally

it stopped

now i just get to listen to route 1 music

way better

[shell grail]

yes

[night python]

Is it just me, but I prefer the look of the wheels when the camera is zoomed out that cool hexagonal.

[hazy scarab]

Rollout

[white jungle]

God Garganacl is fun to use

[quiet frost]

i wish nintendo online was free like it used to

[white jungle]

Watching people use super effective moves on it just for it to stand there unphased

[bronze pawn]

Is it worth to mball a shiny Iron Valiant

[white jungle]

I mean if you won't get it otherwise

You can save before battling them also

[tidal solar]

Would anyone be willing to trade a fuecoco for a quaxly if I can breed one

[bronze pawn]

OOOH I GOT AN ABILITY PATCH

What should I use it on

[white jungle]

A Cyclizar would be a good shot

Regenerator shed tail is absurdly strong

[bronze pawn]

Ooh

I was thinking my Meowscarada though

Because Protean

[white jungle]

You could, but tbh the protean nerf makes it kinda weak

Compared to like

[bronze pawn]

Wdym?

[white jungle]

Skeledirge

[bronze pawn]

How is it weak

What did they do

[white jungle]

It only triggers once per send-out now

[bronze pawn]

U-turn

[white jungle]

So if you switch in, and select a fighting move, you turn Fighting and need to switch back out and in again to choose a different move

[bronze pawn]

I could go for Ceruledge for weak armor

[white jungle]

Which is particularly bad because I'm pretty sure it, unlike terastalising, removes the stab from your grass and dark moves while you're transformed

[bronze pawn]

What the hell is Kingambit's hidden ability

[white jungle]

Pressure

[bronze pawn]

Why would you

Hidden ability Kingambit is kinda ass ngl

I gotta farm raids for salty herba mystica

[white jungle]

Yeah defiant is its best ability

Supreme Overlord is honestly underpowered

[bronze pawn]

(I'm shiny hunting Iron Valiant)

[white jungle]

Especially when Last Respects Houndstone is an easy call

[bronze pawn]

So just use a capsule

Instead of a patch

every sandwich for shiny hunting requires salty herba mystica

[white jungle]

Capsule for defiant yeah

[bronze pawn]

Luckily I think spicy give fighting encounter boost and Iron Valiant is the only fighting type in it's area

[white jungle]

Honestly Regen Cyclizar and either Clodsire or Skeledirge are good calls for Ability Patch

[bronze pawn]

I don't have Skeledirge

[white jungle]

Meowscarada isn't bad but I think a lot of its value is in Flower Trick

[bronze pawn]

I went with Sprig

[clear crest]

if I get an ability patch, I'm slapping it on my mouse.

it's the best option IMHO

[bronze pawn]

Which mouse?

[clear crest]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/981590842999451648/1040269755770224650/ezgif-2-9f898e437f.gif

this mouse

[tawny willow]

😱

[bronze pawn]

Let's hope my sandwich works

Welp

What is Humungo Power?

But anyway title and sparkling power level 3 fairy

Lets go

I'll try some different herb combos

[tawny willow]

increased chance at finding larger pokemon

[shell grail]

mons you find are big

[bronze pawn]

How... useful

(It's not)

[tawny willow]

not really

if it dictated weight it might be useful for certain moves though

[bronze pawn]

I don't think for any of Iron Valiant moves it would be useful

So I combined the herbs I have

And now it's Teensy Power

Brur

I need new herbs

[hazy scarab]

Big funny

[bronze pawn]

Or small funny

[night python]

Where do I find the charm that increases shiny pokemon to spawn

[bronze pawn]

Probably from Jacq

[wanton idol]

gotta complete the dex first

in the biology class

thing

[bronze pawn]

Yeah

From Jacq

As I said

[wanton idol]

yeah but i was saying where he was in case tanks didnt know

[bronze pawn]

[night python]

tanks for telling mr

anyone have scarlet so I can get the exclusive pokemon in the dex

[bronze pawn]

I could help but I'd need to catch most of them again

And I already traded my miraidon

[night python]

that's aright, I don't have internet atm

[bronze pawn]

Fun

[night python]

yep

[bronze pawn]

I'm farming 5 star raids for salty herba mystica

Need 2 to make a shiny hunting sandwich

[night python]

there are 5 star raids? I've never seen one

[bronze pawn]

You need to have beat the league

There's even 6 star raids after that

[night python]

I'm still trying to get all the badges

and what not

[bronze pawn]

Yeah I'm in the postgame

Post-postgame

[night python]

gant find a way to get to that PSI gym

[bronze pawn]

What

Do you mean psychic?

[night python]

yes

[exotic spade]

Someone trade koraidon ?

[bronze pawn]

Istg nintendo need to fix the raid menu

99% of the time it just says "You weren't able to join"

Tf does that even mean

[night python]

it means people aredy joind and finished it

[bronze pawn]

I need to do 5 star raids but nintender says no

[bronze pawn]

No they haven't lol

[night python]

maybe just joined

[bronze pawn]

Cause sometimes if I just spam it it let's me join and it'll be like 2+ minutes left before it starts

It's just nintendo having shitty servers (no surprise)

It's not smm2 levels of bad

But jeez it is not good

[night python]

true

[bronze pawn]

YO

I got one

Now to farm one more

[stuck python]

what do you need it for?

[night python]

to smoke it

[bronze pawn]

Shiny hunting sandwich

[stuck python]

ooh

Alright, understandable then

[bronze pawn]

I know Iron Valiant has a mid shiny but I want it

Let's see what the sandwich gifts upon me

YES

[exotic spade]

Does anyone trade koraidon ?

[bronze pawn]

Sparkling power, title power, and encounter power fairy all level 3

[hazy scarab]

Koraidon is just better

[bronze pawn]

Heresy

[hazy scarab]

How do you know what level and type and powers and all

[bronze pawn]

It says it

At the corner

[hazy scarab]

When I remove an ingredient it changes completely

[bronze pawn]

GOD DAMN IT

The game autosaved after I had made the sandwich and I reloaded

Now I need to farm another salty herb

[night python]

thats why I don't use autosave

[bronze pawn]

There was a stupid fucking flabebe blocking me and I had to beat it

Can you stop spamming

Nobody cares

[night python]

put them in a separate thread

[bronze pawn]

We get it, a video game has glitches, what a shocker

Who would have thought a fucking video game has bugs

Big news

[night python]

I found a bug

[bronze pawn]

It really pisses me off how people make a big deal over sv having glitches, as if every other video game doesn't

Besides, most will be patched out by Christmas I guarantee you

[night python]

true that

[shell grail]

game is playable just remember to save

[bronze pawn]

Gf is probably tearing their hair out fixing them as fast as they can

[night python]

that and hopefuly the ability to send pokemon from the home

[bronze pawn]

Yeah that will be nice

Shiny Gira my beloved

[shell grail]

thats probably early next year

[bronze pawn]

[shell grail]

based on other games timelines

and some kinda reputable leaks

[night python]

I hope to god ill be able to transfer my X and moon pokemon game to the new one

[bronze pawn]

Bro what

The only thing that is disgustingly glitched in my opion is tera raids

I just outraged a tera dragon dragonite and it literally took 0 damage

But I'm willing to bet 99% of that is Nintendo's dogshit servers

[shell grail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgG4yt_sh-Y based on leaks these are the unannounced pokemon you can transfer

[vestal aurora]

it's official that in early 2023 you'll be able to transfer shit from home

[bronze pawn]

If I've learned anything from the disaster that is Smm2 online, Nintendo has absolutely trash servers.

No salty herb

Please sir game, just a single salty herb

I need my shiny sandwich

Oh btw if anyone is wondering the ingredients for the best shiny hunting sandwich for a specific type

[sour lynx]

I wonder if it's even possible to beat the game without coming across a single bug

Probably not

[bronze pawn]

Similar to that one other game

[shell grail]

ha i got the same table

[bronze pawn]

I learned on fairy one of the salty can be substituted for spicy

I just need one damn salty to make another sandwich

[sour lynx]

Idk if I can say it because spoilers but are certain pokemon that exist at the center of the map Shiny locked

[bronze pawn]

Only the legends

All the rest can be shiny

[sour lynx]

👍

[bronze pawn]

I'm hunting Iron Valiant

[sour lynx]

I have scarlet so I'll probably try to get 1 of each shiny

[bronze pawn]

I could also do figthing sandwich but either way I need a salty herb

[sour lynx]

Honestly they just feel like much cooler ultra beasts and I love them

[bronze pawn]

But the game won't let me join any damn raids

Finally found a raid

5 star raids are the only ones that give herbs

Maybe 6 stars do but

[night python]

wait... you can make sandwiches? also There's fucking sandwiches?

[bronze pawn]

Yeah

It's this gakes version of curry

[night python]

the fuck is a curry

[bronze pawn]

Swsh

Damn it

Only a bottle cap

[night python]

Found any of those Blue star bottle caps

[bronze pawn]

What

[night python]

a collector named Malcom holmes wanders the dessert and will trade ya for a Verry good item

[bronze pawn]

Uh ok

What about normal bottle caps

Omfg it is literally impossible to get into a tera raid

[night python]

you need to fly to Montenevera find a dude near the pile of snow

[bronze pawn]

It always says "You weren't able to join" No Nintendo, you just have absolutely dogshit servers held together with duct tape and string

[night python]

then begin somthing called HYPER TRAIN

also they cost 20,000 coins each

[bronze pawn]

And occasionally it says "Something is wrong with the pokemon in your party" wtf is wrong with them

Literally all of them are legit

Istg

I'm going to fucking smite Nintendo

I can't join a raid unless I hit random, and then it's almost never 5 star

And I only get herbs from 5 stars

[white jungle]

Garganacl is how a Pokémon's stats should be done. Next to nothing is wasted. 45 special attack is miniscule and it gives so much room to boost the stats it actually uses

[night python]

I fucking found it

finaly

[bronze pawn]

Finally got into a fucking raid

Jesus fuck

And of course I won't get a salty herb because fuck me

[sour lynx]

Garganacl has a cool design as well, too bad 90% of the other new pokemon are hideous

[hazy scarab]

Pokerus?

[bronze pawn]

No

They were all caught in sv

How the hell would they have it

[hazy scarab]

It's random

Or spreads

[bronze pawn]

Pokerus doesn't exist

In gen 9

[hazy scarab]

Oh it doesnt

[bronze pawn]

Yeah

GOD DAMN IT

Two spicy

I need a single fucking salty

Please game

[night python]

rip

hey where tf is abra

nvm

he's not in the game

[bronze pawn]

God I wish pokemon could hold picnic items

So someone could just trade me a fucking salty herb

[hazy scarab]

Why do some foods boost a lot of different things but the sandwich doesn't give all those buffs

[night python]

that would be cool

[bronze pawn]

I would honestly trade my firstborn for a salty herb at this point

[hazy scarab]

That could be arranged

[bronze pawn]

If you can get me a damn salty herb the fucker is yours

[hazy scarab]

Aight bet

[shell grail]

i heard herbs are really common in 6 star raids

[bronze pawn]

I thought they were only in 5 stars

Istg 6 stars are easier than 5 stars

5 stars are so bs

This altaria has crit me 3 times in a row

[night python]

here is a question why tf is metal not supper effective to flying

[hazy scarab]

Wind

[bronze pawn]

Because flying is already weak enough

[hazy scarab]

Why is bug strong against dark

[night python]

lighting bugs

[hazy scarab]

Very specific but aure

[night python]

and most bugs are able to see in the dark

[hazy scarab]

Why is normal immune to ghost

[night python]

cause fuck them thats why

[bronze pawn]

Because a normal mortal can't interact with spirits

Also normal would be even more dogshit if it didn't at least have one immunity

[hazy scarab]

Why is psi weak to ghost

[shell grail]

psychic weaknesses are common fears

[night python]

true

[shell grail]

bugs the dark and ghosts

[hazy scarab]

Oh never thought about that

Why is steel weak to fighting

[shell grail]

punching metal is effective 👍

[night python]

Why tf is elecric not Super effective against Steel

[shell grail]

idk

[night python]

the shit conducts through most metals

[sour lynx]

Steel defensive typing idk

[bronze pawn]

Because, steel isn't that conductive

Metal in general might be, but some are much better than others

Steel is among those with low conductivity

[hazy scarab]

Why is normal weak to fighting

[night python]

thats a easy one

[bronze pawn]

Because the average person isn't built to take a punch from a pro fighter

[hazy scarab]

Why not fire then

[bronze pawn]

Because no

[night python]

balance resons

[bronze pawn]

I like my reason more

"Because no"

[night python]

tru

[hazy scarab]

1 weaknesses and 0 resistances?

[vestal aurora]

normal is op everyone knows that

[bronze pawn]

1 weakness and an immunity

[sour lynx]

As disappointing as these new games are the paradox pokemon are very neat I wish they did more with them

[bronze pawn]

Nothing special

[bronze pawn]

The shiny future ones are all just silver

[vestal aurora]

disappointing? i didn't find them that at all

[night python]

in the future evrything is chrome

[bronze pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/future-squidward-gif-11759299

[sour lynx]

I would of been fine with waiting another 3 years if they would of just took the time and made a good product

[bronze pawn]

It wouldn't have taken that long

Maybe a couple months more

But they'll have patches released in that time

[night python]

maybe we are just beta testing it

[abstract mirage]

honestly i dont mind S/V being buggy, i love the games as is

[sour lynx]

The game should of released with the patches

[bronze pawn]

You do know what a patch is, right?

[sour lynx]

Bug fixes

[bronze pawn]

Specifically uodates after a game releases

[sour lynx]

There is no reason they couldn't have fixed it

[bronze pawn]

They can't release it with patches

[sour lynx]

They can release it with fewer bugs

[bronze pawn]

The definition of a patch is a bug fix after the game release it

[bronze pawn]

And you could be less of a whiney player but here we are

[inner kernel]

I mean, no one is forcing you to buy it. The game has some bugs and performance issues. It's still fun tho.

[bronze pawn]

Exactly

[sour lynx]

I spent $60 and I didn't get a $60 product I'm going to whine

[bronze pawn]

Every game has bugs when it's released man

[sour lynx]

Not to this extent

[bronze pawn]

Botw still has bugs

[sour lynx]

This is a little silly

Botw doesn't run at like 10 fps

[night python]

Cap

[bronze pawn]

You're right! Most are worse

[bronze pawn]

It's also like, what, 5 years old?

[sour lynx]

So games being buggy on release is just the norm now

[bronze pawn]

It always has been lmao

[night python]

it always has been

[sour lynx]

What about games on the n64, you can't just update them

They had bugs

[shell grail]

you sound like your quoting that clip from moistctritikal lol

[inner kernel]

You can get a refund if you want

[bronze pawn]

Yeah and they have bugs dont they?

Lmao

[sour lynx]

Not this bad man

[bronze pawn]

N64 games could literally brick and become unplayable

Are you ok fam?

[hazy scarab]

I haven't found any negative bugs

[sour lynx]

The game has crashed a couple of times for me

[abstract mirage]

the only thing ive seen is bad frames

[sour lynx]

And I would like to play over 10 fps

[hazy scarab]

L

[bronze pawn]

Only "bugs" I've encountered are shitty servers in tera raids

[shell grail]

as long as your not looking for them they are few and far between

[hazy scarab]

Update your game

[bronze pawn]

Yeah really

[night python]

+Ratio

[sour lynx]

They are not few and far between

[bronze pawn]

Other than the occasional model taking a bit too long to load or like something being a bit slow

There's really no bugs that you find unless you're looking for them

[sour lynx]

Every aspect of the game has bugs

[bronze pawn]

I think you're the one that has bugs

[abstract mirage]

when

[bronze pawn]

Everyone we should debug Volcanic

[sour lynx]

There is some cool ideas in the game I love the concepts

[bronze pawn]

They seem to have a faulty personality

[abstract mirage]

agreed

[bronze pawn]

(Kidding)

[sour lynx]

Paradox pokemon are cool and the gimmick is neat

I wish they took more time

[bronze pawn]

But seriously the game was really ambitious for a pokemon game

You can't immediately expect perfection

[sour lynx]

And they should of took another year or two to really flesh it out

[bronze pawn]

And they will

Over patches

Like with swsh

[night python]

and paid dlc

[sour lynx]

The game shouldn't release and then be patched

[bronze pawn]

Everyone complained about swsh when it released

[sour lynx]

The game should release with the fixes

Swsh was bad

[abstract mirage]

that happens to alot of games..

[bronze pawn]

Bro, that means it would literally never release

Lmfao

There's always fucking bugs

That's just coding

[sour lynx]

I had more fun with this game than swsh but thus game is much buggier than swsh

Swsh had good tcg sets though

[bronze pawn]

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you

You just want to hop on the bandwagon and complain don't you

[sour lynx]

I am complaining because there are issues with the game

I think they should of took another 2 years

To make a better product

[bronze pawn]

You really don't get it do you

This. Is. Why. Updates. Exist.

Jesus

No game will ever be perfect, much less upon release

Look at fucking fnaf security breach

[night python]

I wish there was a difficulty setting

[bronze pawn]

That game is so glitchy its hilarious

[shell grail]

that game was rushed a lot more

[bronze pawn]

True

But you still get my point

[shell grail]

yeah

[bronze pawn]

You can find a game that's been patched to hell and back and you'll still find bugs

No amount of time spent in development or patches will ever make a bug free game

Literally not possible

[night python]

game and watch

[bronze pawn]

Humans as imperfect creatures, will always create imperfect creations

[shell grail]

also this type of game is pretty new for gamefreak

[bronze pawn]

I realize that's like weirdly philosophical but it gets the point accross

[bronze pawn]

Exactly

Pla was the closest to open world before this and it was basically like 5 wild areas

[night python]

they are just seeing what works for a Even bigger game

just look at swsh

[sour lynx]

The game shouldn't be a tech demo

It should be a game

[shell grail]

im excited for the dlc based on the leaks

[bronze pawn]

I guarantee you almost all of the most aggregious bugs will be patched

[sour lynx]

They will be but why are they there in the first place

[bronze pawn]

Jesus christ you are making me lose braincells

Some people just absolutely love to complain

[sour lynx]

I'm complaining because this game is unfinished and shouldn't be $60

[shell grail]

||paradox verizion and suicune|| look great (spoiler for dlc)

[bronze pawn]

If you hate the game that much refund it

Like seriously just stfu already

[shell grail]

is there a refund?

[abstract mirage]

yeah

[bronze pawn]

Idfk

Depends where you bought it

[sour lynx]

I have a right to voice my complaints, I don't hate the games, I just wish they took their time

[night python]

thats understandable

[shell grail]

go voice your complaints somewhere else then

[night python]

or make a thread

[sour lynx]

Yearly releases worked with the early pokemom games

But now idk man

[night python]

so that a healthy argument can exist

[bronze pawn]

The games are getting too ambitious for yearly releases

I agree with that

[sour lynx]

I want to see a polished pokemon game on release

Let's go looked good on release and had few bugs

[bronze pawn]

From my experience the only glitches I see are in tera raids

[night python]

cause let's go was developed by a different team

[bronze pawn]

What

[shell grail]

lets go was good except about how the shiny odds released were wrong

[bronze pawn]

Oh yeah

[sour lynx]

Im not here to hate man I love pokemon and I just want to see a game with a little more time put into it

[bronze pawn]

The next pokemon that showed up had the increased odds

Not all of them

[shell grail]

yep

[bronze pawn]

Alright we get it, you've made your point

Now let us enjoy our game in peace

[sour lynx]

I thought this was for game discussion

[night python]

he does have a point

[bronze pawn]

Sure but some people are trying to actually enjoy the game

[night python]

that as well

[sour lynx]

I'm probably going to enjoy the s/v tcg

Hoping the meta is fun

[night python]

ah hell naw, why they put the kidnapper pokemon here

[sour lynx]

Kidnapper pokemon?

[night python]

hypno

[sour lynx]

OH

[bronze pawn]

5 star raids are so bs

How are 6 star raids easier

[hazy scarab]

Not hypno

[night python]

and another thing Why the fuck are they found close to the school

[hazy scarab]

Oh no

[bronze pawn]

[vestal aurora]

people are not allowed to make threads outside of spritework

[shell grail]

multiple pokemon are already banned on smogon if that gives you an idea

[night python]

ah I didn't know

[bronze pawn]

Flutter Mane

[shell grail]

and greavard

[bronze pawn]

Greavard? Not Houndstone?

[shell grail]

so many op pokemon this gen

oops i meant hounstone

[sour lynx]

Oh I meant the tcg but I was looking forward to trying some competitive battling

Misdreavus is one of my favorite pokemon so I love the new form

[bronze pawn]

Same

[shell grail]

its the strongest pokemon in this gen

[night python]

a new form?

[bronze pawn]

I would have loved if it evolved to a past Mismagius though

I love mismagius

[night python]

but long voltorb

[bronze pawn]

But Flutter Mane is already aggregious so I don't think it really needs an evo

[shell grail]

that would be the end of pokemon

[sour lynx]

Anyone plan on buying the scarlet and violet tcg sets?

[night python]

naw

[bronze pawn]

Regieleko + Mismagius + that one electric ub

[vestal aurora]

spoilers for the names guys

[bronze pawn]

I forgor the name

[vestal aurora]

||specially the paradoxes||

[sour lynx]

The multi-player in this game is fun, i love running around with friends

[bronze pawn]

What the scallop is a ||Goldhengo?||

I forgor the other set

I am very intelligent

[shell grail]

chest evo

[sour lynx]

I found out you can have a picnic right in front of the team star boss after you beat it so your friend will see you just having a picnic in the middle of their battle with the boss

It's kinda funny

[bronze pawn]

Amazing

[sour lynx]

Easily my favorite part of the game

Multi-player is a blast

[night python]

its just ugly what they did with the chest mimik

[shell grail]

yes

[bronze pawn]

The dolphin is cute

[shell grail]

it looks like a yogurt mascot to me for some reason

[shy spoke]

🗑️

[sour lynx]

I was disappointed when I evolved it and then I realized there was a gimmik ability

[bronze pawn]

I think it looks like a wacky inflatable arm tube man

[night python]

apple jacks cinnamonstick mascot lookin ass

that what it looks like

[shell grail]

yes

thats what i was thinking off

thank you

[sour lynx]

Most of the new pokemon are disappointing

[night python]

this

[bronze pawn]

I don't think so

Most are better than Klefki

Fuckin klefki

Literally a keychain

[night python]

key top tier

[sour lynx]

I'd say most are on par with klefki

[bronze pawn]

Eh

[sour lynx]

If klefki evolved

[bronze pawn]

I can see it with some

But others I like

[night python]

the Skelton key

[bronze pawn]

I really like the paradoxes

[sour lynx]

Tinkaton is good

Paradox pokemon are all amazing

Not a fan of the magneton though

I haven't seen violets

[bronze pawn]

I like the future teras

[night python]

God damn I fucking hate the physic pokemon gym bs

[bronze pawn]

I have found the most bs tera pokemon

Psychic Talonflame

[night python]

why

[bronze pawn]

Outspeeds my pokemon and just happens to have tera blast

(I have low defenses and am fighting type)

I'm literally 20+ levels above it and it outspeeds

I'm calling some tomfoolery

[shell grail]

ha

it is very fast

[bronze pawn]

And no I am not using a slow pokemon

[sour lynx]

What pokemon

[bronze pawn]

I literally had 10 base speed less

||Iron Valiant||

[shell grail]

its ability

[sour lynx]

Does it have a speed reducing nature

[bronze pawn]

It was using tera blast (psychic type)

[bronze pawn]

No

It's adamant

[shell grail]

it has a base of 126 speed so its pretty fast

[bronze pawn]

And mine had base 116

[wanton idol]

less than 25 left

so close

[bronze pawn]

25 what left?

[wanton idol]

in my dex

to be registered

[night python]

of what?

[bronze pawn]

Oh my god

I got a salty herb and didn't notice

I hate myself

[night python]

XD

that's fucking hilarious rip

[bronze pawn]

Alright autosave off, save dropped, sandwich time

[night python]

what will it do?

[shell grail]

shiny odds ^^^^

[bronze pawn]

Sandwich has been sandwiched

[night python]

for how long?

[bronze pawn]

30 minutes to encounter a shiny ||Iron Valiant||

[night python]

ah, good luck

[bronze pawn]

If I don't, reset to before I made the sandwich

Wish me luck

[night python]

👍

[stiff venture]

for the people that are aware, does anyone have any ideas what is up with the weird legendary beasts fusion in the scarlet book or the swords of justice fusion n the violet book?

are they like there for potential dlc hints or

[night python]

no they are in the game

[shell grail]

||there are going to be at least 1 new paradox mon per game in the dlc though||

[stiff venture]

damn

[bronze pawn]

Alright I had to do something

So the hunt actually starts now

[quiet frost]

Wow, I feel under leveled. Tf

[night python]

that happens

Ether Grind or move to a better location to get gud

[hazy scarab]

For what

[bronze pawn]

I set myself a timer

So I know when my sandwich is over

[quiet frost]

I am encountering level 50s with level 28s

[hazy scarab]

Well don't be there

[night python]

or run like hell

[hazy scarab]

Also feed exp candy

Do raids get candy profit

[quiet frost]

I only seem to find level 1 raids

[night python]

it still aplies

[wanton idol]

anybody got a slowking that they can trade and i can trade back lol

[night python]

slowing requires crown when training to evolve right?

[shell grail]

yes

kings rock

[night python]

where are ya

[quiet frost]

Well now I'm trying to do the team star base, but I was by the normal type gym

[night python]

since you are at the fire types place use some water types or somthing

I don't know i just steam rolled them

[quiet frost]

I moreso meant that I feel under leveled for the stuff I actually wanna do, like the titans

[night python]

oh

you might want to beat some gyms and whatnot before you face the titan

[quiet frost]

Since the games don't tell you what levels the titans are

[hazy scarab]

The cliff titan is a pushover

Fight em whwnever

[quiet frost]

Only titan I haven't beaten is the fake dragon as you can see

[hazy scarab]

Same

[night python]

The Fuck? ||why tf did they let a damn baby in the elite four||

[hazy scarab]

Idk where it went in the water

[hazy scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/dababy-convertable-gif-20206040

[night python]

XD

[quiet frost]

Question, what do Tera shards do?

[hazy scarab]

Change Terra type

You need 50

[night python]

its hell

[hazy scarab]

It's a thing you can do in the medli town

[hazy scarab]

Yes

I have like 3 shards

And 50 normal shards but my team is already normap

[quiet frost]

I will say, I am disappointed by Miraidon's glide. I thought it would be more like soaring in ORAS

[hazy scarab]

Yea

I assume koridon is the same

You just fall after a bit

[night python]

true

[hazy scarab]

It's not even fast to begin with my did it get nerfed even more

[night python]

problaby to stop dlc exploration

[quiet frost]

It's legit the worst form of travel. It's like a Minecraft Elytra without the ability to rocket boost

[night python]

one more gym remaning

What freezeed the dinosaurs

[quiet frost]

Is it weird that Team Star is my favorite "evil" team?

[night python]

nah

[hazy scarab]

Yes

[night python]

compared to... whatever the fuck swsh

[hazy scarab]

They aren't an evil team

[night python]

was

[hazy scarab]

Wait in arceus aren't you the evil team

[night python]

its good to be bad

[quiet frost]

My evil team top 5

5. Rocket
6. Magma/Aqua
7. Team Skull
8. Team Star
9. Team Galactic from Pokemon Platinum

[hazy scarab]

Aqua is the best

[quiet frost]

Hasta la Vistar is the best pun ever

[bronze pawn]

Is shiny Iron Valiant even obtainable

[night python]

yes

[bronze pawn]

So I just have shit tier luck

Epic

[night python]

do you have the charm of shiny somting

or other

[quiet frost]

I think I accidentally lost my iron treads. Tried to catch it and died.

[bronze pawn]

Encounter rate level 3 and shiny rate level 3

[night python]

the shiny Charm

[quiet frost]

...
How old is Mela?

[tawny willow]

not old enough

[bronze pawn]

[hazy scarab]

I have never found a shiny

[shell grail]

no info on the website on her age

[quiet frost]

She needs to cover up more then

[night python]

they all in high-school.

[quiet frost]

Is this a high school? I always thought it was an elementary school

[night python]

it may be a all shool

[hazy scarab]

There are like 60 year Olds that go to this school

[bronze pawn]

Welp

[night python]

its a colleg?

[bronze pawn]

30 straight minutes of hunting

[night python]

methlab maybe

[bronze pawn]

Not a single shiny

[night python]

F

rip

[quiet frost]

I think I just murdered her car

[night python]

try it again

[tawny willow]

they are supposed to be rare

[bronze pawn]

And I think my smooth brain saved by accident when on autopolot

[night python]

oof

[bronze pawn]

Yes but I have a level 3 encounter boost and a level 3 shiny boost

[night python]

well shit time to hunt for herbs

[bronze pawn]

It was literally only the pokemon I was hunting that spawned

[hazy scarab]

I have never found a shiny

I have played pokemon for a long time

[night python]

I found a squirl that looks like the last president we had that was shiny

[bronze pawn]

I found four in pla

[tawny willow]

ive found 1. back in x and y

[bronze pawn]

Excluding the guaranteed one

[night python]

first shiny i found was a driftblume in pokemon dimond

[hazy scarab]

???

[bronze pawn]

Well shid

Time to hunt more salty herbs

I just need one

[hazy scarab]

You should hunt for max size

[shell grail]

the school has people of all ages

[night python]

this fucking thing

[hazy scarab]

Yea

[bronze pawn]

Oh lol

[shell grail]

majority of team star seems to be adults other than the leaders

[bronze pawn]

She's too hot to touch

[hazy scarab]

I don't think that's a squirtle

[night python]

what

[shell grail]

i think he meant squirell

[night python]

Squirl

[quiet frost]

She's not giving flame charge to me, but to my floatzel. Hmmmmmm

[hazy scarab]

No she is kicking you in the knee

[night python]

yes

[bronze pawn]

Her leg is just sitting there

[hazy scarab]

Flexible

[bronze pawn]

Stretch Armstrong

[night python]

long leg

[quick flicker]

do u guys agree that pokemon community are very....ehh how do i say...
narrow-minded?

[bronze pawn]

Is it just me or is getting in a tera raid literally impossible if you don't press random

[night python]

it should just be select the pokemon and then it connects ya automaticly

[bronze pawn]

Nope

[night python]

damn

[bronze pawn]

Of course nothing is simple

Almost every single time I choose a pokemon it just simply says "You couldn't join."

That is the fucking least informative and most bullshit error message of all time

Or it says "Something is wrong with the pokemon in your party" which is also complete bullshit

[inner kernel]

Yeah I have a hard time getting into Terra raids

[bronze pawn]

And then when you're in a raid every thing is laggy as all hell

Like the delay is insane

Not to mention 5 star raids are total bullshit

Not 6 star

They're tame

But fucking 5 star

I liked it being a turn limit and not a time limit

[quick flicker]

theres a bug on raid i think

Iono? yes or no?

[bronze pawn]

Yes

[quick flicker]

yessssss

finally someoneee

[wanton idol]

8 left for my dex to be done

almost there

[quiet frost]

After a lot of intense discussion, Smogon decided that Dunsparce shall be banned ||from little cup.||

[shell grail]

@hazy scarab read this

[hazy scarab]

Lmao

See he is not weak

[quiet frost]

Where is team yell xd

[shell grail]

💀

no way your serious

[quiet frost]

Team yell was so bad atleast team flare had a goal

[shell grail]

ok good

[quiet frost]

I'm sorry what made team yell evil?

[shell grail]

they were a fanclub of adults for a young girl

[quiet frost]

That's not evil

[arctic haven]

Does anyone wanna do me a favor so I can turn my haunter into gengar with trade?

[shell grail]

[arctic haven]

:|

[shell grail]

there is an npc that will trade you a haunter that will evolve for a pinchurhin

[arctic haven]

[quiet frost]

Thank you fir telling us where the npc was

[shell grail]

1 sec

[quiet frost]

Help. Maushold evolved

I didn't ask this

[shell grail]

[hazy scarab]

Why don't you want maushold to evolve?

Isn't thay the dog

[quiet frost]

I'm kidding.

But I find it funny there isn't an animation

[plush saddle]

They look fun

[tired drum]

Honestly I've only run into occasional graphical issues

And not even bad ones

[shell grail]

just remember to save your game and your fine

[viscid adder]

Hell yeah they are

#pokemon-winds-waves message

[hazy scarab]

Evolution?

I don't evolve pokemon much I wouldn't know

[quiet frost]

Apparently there isn't an animation for maushold. They just pop out of nowhere

[hazy scarab]

What's maushold look like

It's arvens dog right

[fickle birch]

No, that's Mabosstiff. 🙂

Maushold is the household of mice. 😄

The puns this generation are fantastic. 😃

[shell grail]

maushold specifically evolves offscreen due to its.... uniqueness

[white jungle]

It can evolve on screen, I saw a clip

But it's unintended as far as I'm aware

[viscid adder]

They boned

Also

[white jungle]

Fighting Tera Garganacl just singlehandedly shut down an entire team lmaooo

[clear crest]

[white jungle]

Yeah your Breloom's real cute with its spore bullet seed

Have fun with neither doing anything

Nice Palafin, make good use of the four turns you have with it

I can't brag about their ||Great Tusk|| being easy to kill because they were running sunny day instead of booster energy

[prime topaz]

the pokemon

[viscid adder]

It's for the wounds

[prime topaz]

https://youtu.be/aUomVzVcNR0

[white jungle]

Literally only countered by special attackers, to which it isn't even fragile

[prime topaz]

and to an extent, the air is salt

[lament glen]

Did the ice gym with my secondary team that was 10 levels underleveled and that had 4 mons that are weak to ice today

Only managed to win because my cryogonal leveled up during the fight and learned light screen, which made tanking the moves of her ace possible

The difficulty level of this game feels really great to me all in all, which is suprising. Tho idk if people who only play with one team and arent constantly underleveled experienced a gym like this
