You know, I’m kinda impressed with how tough Pokémon are in this. Even when you’re like 20 levels higher than a wild Pokémon, they can still hit pretty hard.

Many times the alpha Pokemon's AI knows exactly what it needs to KO you, often times combining using a rapid-style super-effective move followed by the same move in strong-style with no way for you to act between them.

Can definitely confirm that Mass Outbreak shiny method works. I was accidentally doing it the wrong way at first, saving in Jubilie and going to the area, but the second I switched to the right way, I got both a shiny and an Alpha spawn in the same outbreak.

Edit: Holy shit, do I want a shiny Voltorb badly now.

To Bloom or Not To Bloom is a really stupid sidequest that takes far too long to do for the reward you get from it.

Seriously WHY?

It wasn’t too bad. I evoled one fairly early and then just Agile Petal Dance spam.

But if you haven’t had luck catching one, then yes, it would suck.

I finally gave up and looked it up: the Chers have an extremely high spawn rate on shaking trees in the little grotto next to the second camp in the Highlands. Make sure it's not sunny, otherwise Cherrim become impossible to catch.

Can't believe I waited for the post-game to do it. I can find 5 vivichokes in 5 minutes.
 
Haven’t got my copy of Legends yet but I did get manage to find Shining Pearl. I’m really disappointed so far. From what I can tell it looks like the idea they went with was a 1-1 remake of the original game with three dimensional graphics which incidentally makes the game look really cursed. I mean, if this is all they were going to do for Diamond and Pearl I would have preferred they just did a straight port of the original game with the original graphics.

The only real changes to Diamond and Pearl are the addition of Fairy type, the Grand Underground and adjustments to Pokeradar. Otherwise it's almost the same game that was on the DS but 3D.

Just really hoping GF doesn't drop everything good about Legends like they have with recent good titles. I still would of liked a Let's Go Johto but alas

I mean, on the one hand, many would argue that Let’s go being good is debateable… but a lot of it actually did come through to legends. Catch Pokémon in the over world often without a fight, size differences, stripping back excess mechanics, riding pokemon, bringing out your Pokémon pals with you…

The little groto? That the thing with Parasect in it?

My bad, it's the 4th area, not the 3rd. This one has a few Golduck and a static alpha Carnivine in it, right next to the second camp in the Coronet Highlands. If you're still looking in the first area, you might have to luck out with a mass outbreak.

Legends just incorporates alot of what lets go was trying to do while not feeling like a shitty mobile port, I would be down for a legends johto focusing on celebi though

Fans: We want a 1-1 remake a DP.
GF: OK
Fans: WHY DID YOU GIVE US WHAT WE ASKED FOR?

if it does that just means that they are fully content keeping masuda stuck in mobile port casual fag quarantine after that led legends to be such a success

appealing to the more casual audience is probably a really good idea. Pokemon has added way to much bloat over the years and gotton away from what a casual audiences like.

There's a place of moderation between making diamond and pearl with very little from platinum carried over while using it for nostalgia bating costumes and doing some stupid post game shit like oras but it feels that when they respond to criticism there's like a 90% chance they will go the extreme direction
though to be fair arceus pretty much is a love letter to platinum and all of gen 4 but that's beside the point so I can't shit on them too much

So Arceus is the real Gen 4 remake we had been waiting for all this time then.

okay so i'm also playing pokemon legends and so far things have been alright. kinda monotonous, but what did i really expect.

so right now i'm in the crimson mirelands and it occurred to me shortly after fighting the first wild pokemon i saw that i am disgustingly overleveled. go figure. by the time i got to the mirelands, pokemon level 50 and below already obey me. i actually just ranked up again so level 60 pokemon should obey me once i turn the research in.

so let's talk about shinies. it wasn't until the shiny ponyta quest that i knew what the "shiny noise" in the wild was, and i realized that i probably missed a shiny before i knew what they sounded like. a few days ago i got a shiny staravia, and then, and i shit you not, within one hour, i caught 3 fucking shinies today. the first one was a kricketune and the other two shinies are both croagunks that i caught within 5 fucking minutes of each other. lucky me, i guess.

i like the dimensional rift thing. it's a neat concept. i've caught some neat pokemon, like a few of the eeveelutions (flareon, umbreon, leafeon, sylveon), multiple porygons, 2 porygon2s... oh yeah and the items in the rifts are pretty nice, too. lots of items needed for evolution, for example.

speaking of evolution, i didn't realize they removed the trading requirement for certain evolutions. instead of needing to trade kadabra to get alakazam, there's literally an item called "linking cable" that evolves it.

i also like that they removed breeding because you can increase your pokemons' ivs by using grit items, so there's no reason to breed for ivs.

sure would be nice if i could throw things while riding wyrdeer, but i'm being nitpicky.
