A bit late but the anime got boring after johto. Tried alola season a while ago but quit after a few episodes.
The show has always been bad by realistic standards other than "It's Pokemon", but as a kid season 1 was hype. It has it's iconic moments, not gonna lie.
Back these days the anime didn't took itself too serious and had it's wtf moments like the gastly episode where it transforms into a mongoose and Venustoise.
Today everything has to be disgustingly nice and cuddly, Ash has decreased from a hilarious, dumb kid to a boring character. The OG charm is gone.
The Origins/generations special episodes were good tho. They should make more of this stuff as a spinoff, even if it's just a single episode per quarter.

Would this be a good game to get into competitive Pokémon? I’ve always wanted to get into competitive play but the math involved always scared me.

Yes because it's easier to get your mons ready for cp than ever. Other gens may have a more balanced meta but the current gen is always the one thats in charge.
Try random battles in Pokemon Showdown at first to get a feeling for damage ranges, movesets, ev splits, standard situations and the way to efficiently counter things like toxic spikes, setup mons, and so on.
The teams you get are mostly well-rounded with a variety that doesn't leans too much towards stall and the randomness helps you to get keen for possible synergies.
It's learning by doing.

You know you can savescum with shinies now? :biggrin:

fffffffFFFFFFFFFF

i figured that nintendo/gamefreak wouldn't be so kind as to let us savescum shinies, since they certainly didn't want to make shinies easier to find when they took away the shiny noise and overworld glow. i should've known, though. oh, well, shit happens.

First of all, I've sorely missed Kiwi Farms and am glad to be back. :'(

I've been playing Pokémon Violet and I like it way more than Sw/Sh. There's even some Pokémon I ended up liking more than I thought I would such as Veluza and Revavroom. Even Quaquaval has grown on me. Right now I'm trying to collect them damn Gimmighoul coins because I need Golden Cheese Head... *sigh*

I've encountered a few shinies and hatched some too; these are the only 4 that matter to me so far (3 of them were hatched). The Sylveon was actually a Christmas Surprise Trade gift. It's crazy how much easier it is to find shinies in this game like what most people have been saying. I found most of my shinies before I even got my 2nd gym badge, but Surprise Traded most of them for the holidays.

There's also been some hijinks in the picnic feature, like my Tinkaton flying way up into the air! :lit:

I felt the same when I accidentally killed the shiny Murkrow I found, only to be told savescumming is entirely legitimate.

SHINY SINISTEA, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

speaking of sinistea, i decided to be autistic and actually look for both forms of it: phony and antique. this was a challenging task because the only difference between the two is that the antique form has a stamp underneath it, which you'll never see.

also both forms have a unique dex entry, if you're a completionist and into that gay shit.

all this being said, my shiny sinistea is a phony one, sadly. i did savescum but I got lazy.

edit: hahaha, if you go look at the image of sinistea in the pokedex, the one in the background has the stamp.

edit2: oh also both forms have different items they need to evolve: phony form needs the cracked pot, antique form needs the chipped pot

Say what you will about this new gen, but 3D Scizor looks really fucking cool. Too bad they didn't keep the trade evolution items from Arceus.

A lot of the metal Pokemon look great in this game simply because the light reflects off of their bodies. Magnemite and Magneton stand out as excellent examples. Their bodies look like polished steel whereas in previous games, they were just grey. You'll even notice the light reflecting off the spikes on Lucario's paws.

I'd go so far as to say this is why ALL the future paradoxes are robotic, and one of the past paradoxes is Magneton.
 
lol calm down
I've got nowhere else on the Internet I can say this without creating some gay account on some faggy shithole I don't want to be on anyway:

Everyone participating in the cinderace raid who doesn't know type charts should fucking kill yourselves or stop clogging up the Terra raid boards. Get your Pokémon to lvl 100 and get good or don't fucking bother.

I can’t judge too much, I admittedly managed the Cinderace Raid by using Skeledirge and just spamming Torch Song until my Special Attack was maxed. Turns out the Retarded Crocodile becomes a living artillery piece at high levels. Surprisingly tanky too.

I eventually just solo'd it with Armarouge, stored power, clear smog, calm mind, and iron defense. I gave up on doing an online raid. The raids seem to rachet up difficulty if you play with others so at least solo it feels like I can control the battle more.

Online people were just bringing stupid stuff to raid attempts. Steel types against a Terra fighting, dark types, baby Pokémon, etc. As hand holdy as Nintendo has made the series its not translating into the average player understanding the core mechanics of the game.

I tried the Opportunist Espathra with Stored Power and a Mirror Herb strat, and never again, Espathra sucks ass the moment you take its buffs away. I eventually got it through sheer stubbornness since I didn't have candies or cash on hand to switch strategies, but this was the most tilted I have ever been towards a Nintendo game.

Pretty much every raid I tried online had someone showing off their shiny Slowbro while trying to do the Slowbro solo strats. It was always a Japanese player, too. I guess they're looking on 4chan for advice and can't read the "SOLO PLAY ONLY" disclaimer.

Yeah I encountered that a lot. I just started canceling my raid whenever Japanese players joined. Their people made the game and they seem the least capable of playing half the time.

I used Opportunist Espathra too but not with Stored Power. I used Feather Dance -> Calm Mind -> Strength Cheer -> Lumina Crash. Hold item was a Shell Bell. Until the shield came up, I was generally healing most of the damage I took. When the stats were reset, I used Calm Mind and went back to spamming Lumina Crash. I didn't have any issues at all. It's important that you get your damage in before the stats are reset too so by the time Cinderace spams Bulk Up, you're getting those defense increases to keep up with his attack increases.
