Can I just say, I feel like I am confused by shiny rates and critical capture in this game. Either they impact across profiles (I have one profile, File A, that has the shiny charm, and File B, which I am discussing), the odds are really different than past games, or I am really lucky. I get a bunch of critical captures in my new file, and within 1 hour (grinding before entering Mesagoza the first time) I found a shiny Magikarp.
prime topaz
I wouldn't put it past the game to have different profiles on the same console impact eachother. very intereting hypothesis

I think Pokémon home comparability needs to be a day 1 priority if they plan to continue cutting the national dex
Like what’s the point if you can’t have a new experience with a transfer
And you can’t start with a normally late game Pokémon at the beginning if you don’t wait months since you probably don’t wanna restart your save , there’s no multiple saves , and you Pokémon home is locked to one Nintendo account

I mean it makes sense in a way
Fixing the performance will take time. Especially considering that (at least in my oppinion) the game should have gotten at least one whole extra year of development to fix the performance
But some small stuff like fixing the elite 4 music and removing the dublication glitches (I assume) can probably be done pretty quickly, so it makes sense to push that out first
frail fox
I hope they actually do fix the performance eventually, and not just hope people forget about it

Ancient Paradox Pokémon are filled with Infinity Energy from back when the world was filled with the stuff, as confirmed in ORAS and X&Y. Pokémon back then were much more powerful normally, which is why Mega Salamence looks like Roaring Moon: that's just what Salamence used to be like when Infinity Energy was everywhere. What we still don't know is how far back in time most of the Ancient-Paradox mons existed though: Are they from the same time period? Multiple periods in history? Did any encounter ancient humans, or did they predate humanity?
Future Paradox Pokémon on the other hand are all robotic entities, and we don't really know if they're 1) normal Pokémon that evolved robotic parts (ala stuff like Metagross), 2) artificially enhanced Pokémon like Mewtwo or Genesect, or 3) entirely artificial organisms, made to resemble real Pokémon by future humans. Whatever they are, it suggests the future of the Pokémon world is pretty dark, and that spark of organic life is missing. Not anything new in terms of Pokemon lore, but still disheartening to know that the future is gonna be less wild and more chrome.
Just a ramble.
shell grail
Ancient Paradox Pokémon are filled with Infinity Energy from back when the world...
have you seen the paradox pokedex entries
quiet frost
Yes:
- Dinosaurs are canonical in the Pokémon world.
- Great Tusk existed during the Dinosaur era.
- Brute Bonnet is the missing-link between Dinosaurs and Amoonguss. (??????????????)
- Scream Tail is an organism that lived a billion years ago.
- Flutter Mane is a "ghostly pterosaur."
Amoonguss is monophyletically a dinosaur and Scream Tail predates multicellular life on Earth.

someone told me salamances disproves the 2 universe theory on megas

It does, since the Pokedex mentions Mega Evolution.
This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the Scarlet Book. It looks similar to Salamence when they undergo a certain phenomenon elsewhere in the world, but it's unclear if there is any connection.

I suppose it's possible that the weapons projectile landed inside the crater and awoke what was inside but that would be incredibly coincidental

I like the IF interpretation though, where there were non-rock type dinosaurs, but only the rock types survived as fossils
also I really like the school parts of this game but I wish it was more like Persona, where you're forced to go to class after a while (but you can skip if you want), and they were more spread out, rather than "get a bunch of classes, go to the front desk and sign up to do them all one by one"
also it's really weird that you never even battle once in battle studies
they should do something like, you don't get any LP until you go back to the academy and cash them in, at which point you rest up, go to class, and then you go back to exploring

That doesn't really square with the fact that a lot of fossil types look like rock types. Some do.l, but neither of the gen 3 ones look like rock, omanyte doesn't, and archen doesnt.

not all pokemon look like their type

also fitting that those were the ones that failed to be reconstructed well, like the rock ones were easier
somber girder
What fits with what we see of the fossil pokemon is that they were changed by the fossilization and revival process, changing their type
frail fox
nah, cause mega aerodactyl's pokedex says that the stone parts make it more like its original form

Source for this is Ultra Moon:
Mega Evolution awakened some dormant genes, bringing back the sharp rocks that once covered Aerodactyl's entire body. ```You seem to be implying that the other fossil pokemon we got complete skeletons of, but most we only had a head, or with one of the gen 3 fossils, we only had a claw
frail fox
the idea is that they're cloning them from their DNA and rock types' DNA would have survived more because they're already rocks, but non-rock type DNA would have broken down so they might have tried to fill it in like puzzle pieces with other fossils

Some references to fossil mons being rock type before restoration:
Kabutops (Ultra Sun):
Its body had begun to change so it could function on land. But it didn't adapt in time and went extinct.
Lileep (Ruby):
Lileep became extinct approximately a hundred million years ago. This ancient Pokémon attaches itself to a rock on the seafloor and catches approaching prey using tentacles shaped like flower petals.
And some counter-evidence:
Tyrantrum (Ultra Sun):
Complete restoration is impossible, allowing room for theories that its entire body was once covered in a feather-like coat. ```None of those sound like rock type

nope, all monotype
electric, dragon, ice, water
solar tiger
the combined ones have either dragon or ice, water or electric
lament glen
But since they are all fusions, their "3rd" type that always got lost because of the 2-type limit could have always been rock technically
patent rivet
electric, dragon, ice, water
I think they would be half rock type if they had their proper halves
solar tiger
technically, yes, but mega aerodactyl's pokedex entry gives way to the possibility that fossilization is what turns revived fossil mons rock type
patent rivet
But that entry says it was rock type basically
solar tiger
as the restoration is never perfect, according to the pokedex
patent rivet
It says he used to have rocky spikes, and the mega evolution brought those back
solar tiger
yeah, so restoration isn't perfect

Something to keep in mind is that Tyrantrun is in the crown tundra
Which, according to its lore, all the fossil pokemon there were saved from extinction, and thus have never been revived by science
All of the fossil dudes there are still rock type
patent rivet
But that could just be because of game mechanics
Not wanting to make a new design just for that
Also now that I think about it, it's weird that the game story says ||it's bad to take paradox Pokemon from the past and let them live in the present, but reviving dead Pokemon from the past to live in present time is fine||

pokedex says otherwise
it calls Tyrantrun a restoration
forest egret
I know but he's right there just chilling out
frail fox
probably restored ones released into the wild
solar tiger
Or just a way for gamefreak to give us fossil pokemon without their fossils
forest egret
Well yeah, that's the reason
But they're trying to justify why that is. Shadow Rider Calyrex's dex says it saved a bunch of ancient mons from a meteorite and safeguarded them in the Tundra
patent rivet
Basically, they make up everything on the spot and don't care about having consistent lore
And they just say "multiverse lol" to fix it
forest egret
That's the pokemon way
frail fox
it could also be that it is a perfect restoration and the people who wrote the dex entry dont know about the tundra, so the "theories" about them having feathers were either just wrong, or a regional variant
scarlet would have been the perfect game to have such a regional variant show up, too
forest egret
||Paradox versions of the fossils would've been pretty sick||

Orthworm being higher than Quaquaval really shocks me. Maushold too. Maushold seems really gimmicky and Orthworm isn't bad but feels like a worse wall than Quaquaval is a sweeper if that makes sense?

And purifying salt means status stalls are meaningless

Is it physical? Special? Is it a Support Dragapult? Is it scarfed, meaning you have no chance of outspeeding? Or is has it invested in bulk, which is surprisingly good?
All that wasted on another dragon pseudo
They could have dumped it's attack or special attack, made it a non-mixed non-pseudo and it'd still be a busted Mon
And they could have given the pseudo title to ANYTHING ELSE

you can buy food or make your own sandwiches
each restaurant meal has predetermined effects, while making sandwiches allows you to customize what kind of effects you want to have
regardless, the effects of these foods all last 30 minutes.

God Gimmighoul's evolution method is so tedious
Collect 999 of these items that drop one at a time OR 50 at a time if you find the special chest version that, as far as I know, doesn't respawn.
meager oasis
Chest gimmighoul are at the top of most of the old tower things
And the little roaming forms can drop between 1-5 or more on rare occasions
I found it pretty easy, I got 999 coins around the last few titans and star bosses to fight
There’s also an npc that gives you like 30 coins or something in the normal gym city

Is charizard in violet

Is charizard in violet
charizard is in neither version
but you can transfer him from Pokemon Home!
....oh wait there's those charizard raids
So... yes he's on both versions, but for a limited time.

Pretty sure the chests do respawn, otherwise you can't catch more gimmighoul?

unpopular opinion, skeledirge shouldve stood up.
now let me explain myself. skeledirge is a good concept but not well executed. plus its a lot longer than other pokemon and just looks out of place. standing it up would not only fix that, but add a chest area for more designs to be visible
sick crest
it looks out of place by being so long, every time i see it it doesnt give me pokemon vibes
again, its an unpopular opinion
sick crest
the first three lean upwards to counteract their length and make themselves fit more into a smaller space. rayquaza twists its body to achive the same effect
white jungle
It's just...
A crocodile
Idk what to say like
They're long
Like Alolan Exeggutor, it's super tall
But not unreasonably tall
Because it's a palm tree.
sick crest
and youre saying alolan exeggutor doesnt look strange?
white jungle
I wouldn't say it needs a design change or doesn't look like a Pokémon lmao

Skeledirge went on all fours and Meowscarada stood up

Anyone know if a Lvl 90 Quaquaval will be okay for the Charizard raid? 😮
wanton idol
prolly not i think running belly drum azumarill will be better
cuz the starters usually cant really do that much damage
fickle birch
You see Katten, not having a Belly Drum Azumarill makes using a Belly Drum Azumarill more difficult. 😛
My highest-levelled Pokémon apart from Quaquaval is Lvl 68.
white jungle
Anyone know if a Lvl 90 Quaquaval will be okay for the Charizard raid? 😮
Everyone seems pretty set on Azumarill but if you wanted to break the mold I've seen people suggesting Misty Terrain Daschbun
fickle birch
I do have a Dachsbun, but a Lvl 66 Dachsbun probably isn't going to be of much use. 😂

Let’s talk about how IF predicted scarlet/violet though it’s just a coincidence
I think the NPC is in victory road, but they talk about a child prodigy
And that’s exactly what Poppy is in SV, right?

thought about what a hypothetical third version would be called, in keeping with the names Scarlet and Violet
it would probably be Amber
quiet frost
We don't get third versions anymore. Because somehow they think it costs them money

No
They would have one for every legend

pokemon yellow didnt have anything to do with a legend though
hazy scarab
God this is hell
What version you got
hazy scarab
pokemon yellow didnt have anything to do with a legend though
That was gen 1
That means nothing
tawny willow
how do you find the tera raid?
quiet frost
Pokémon yellow only exists because they wanted to cash in on the popularity of Pikachu being ashes starter
quiet frost
What version you got
Violet
quiet frost
idk if there is a third legend
Well, there’s the four legendaries with the stakes in the ground, break the seal blah blah blah
frail fox
okay, I wasnt really asking you to tell me
quiet frost
And there’s a mention of a “disc Pokémon” being the main source if the crystals and terastilizing
tawny willow
how do you find the charizard raid?
shell grail
i think you have to finish the story first
tawny willow
i did
fickle birch
I've not found it myself, but if you connect to the internet and enter the Poké Portal, I assume you get some by searching for Tera Raids that way. 🙂
tawny willow
non are there
fickle birch
That's what Jesse's screenshot indicated, anyway. 🙂

how do you find the charizard raid?
If you look on your map, there is a raid symbol, and if there it is pulsing then its a special raid
