Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

I thought I was going to be on elite 4 but no, the before elite 4 there is victory road that seems pretty long. I am stuck by two older fucks that have those special fields with each having a Fire + Grass pokemon with mega Charizard and mega venossaur and a very hard battle. If I use a pokemon against other type he gets covered by another.

So I decide to grind levels and guess what happened. A shiny in a full odds game. Quite rare stuff. 1000031490.webp

I tried making Lumineon work in SM meta. This thing is just way too mediocre, it should have at least gotten a Flying typing so that it would have some sort of niche. Water/Flying mon are rather rare.
 
I worry abou the ones who are barely recolored.
I don't mind the colors, I'm a sucker for shinies that completely change the Pokemon's color. It's just a shame that Lumineon is so weak.
Also, the shiny would be better if it were a reddish brown and had blue on the eyes and tail dot. Anyone else see it?

"Mediocre Pokemon" describes, like, 1000 Pokemon at this point.
Lumineon specifically was never that good, but the power creep has definitely gotten out of hand. You know something's up when former powerhouses like Gengar, Gyarados, Salamence or Metagross are now seen as above average at best.

Fellow Kiwis!
I was considering repeating a reoccurring mistake I make and buying a console for a single game, the Switch and either Scarlet or Violet.
I've not played since Moon (which I bought a 3DS for and got within spitting distance of a living dex). Is the game actually worth it? Will I find some further mileage in other Nintendo games? Should I get the OLED version or regular, or just wait for the next gen Switch (which I didn't know existed until looking into this)?
For the curious, I also got a PS4 for Kingdom Hearts 3. I waited 14 years for that fucker. Maybe I should just stick to PC and give up on consoles entirely. Everything non-Nintendo makes it here eventually

Is playing online or on-the-go an important factor? If not, you could save the money by just emulating it if you have no issue with pirating games.
If you do want to buy a console and you think there may be future Nintendo games you'll want to play, then you might as well spend extra for a Switch 2 coming out soon. It's backwards compatible with 99% of Switch games and may have framerate improvements when playing them.

As for the quality of Scarlet/Violet itself, I mean, it's Pokemon. Battles are still slow and easy, but maybe that's fine so long as you get to do Pokemon stuff. SV has an open world, which was ambitious for Game Freak but it's pretty empty. Some people like the story, but that's by Pokemon standards. The biggest negative talking point is that the game is really buggy, but people's tolerance levels for that with Pokemon varies a lot from some people not caring to others thinking the glitches are funny to others finding the game nearly unplayable. The most spectacular glitches seem to mostly only happen when you're playing multiplayer and have other people in the game world with you.

Yeah, I have zero desire to carry it around. If there's good Switch emulation, I might go that route, but I've been trying to pirate less because I don't really have the excuse of "I'm broke and wouldn't buy it anyway" to go with.
I'll probably tell myself I'll get the Switch 2 when demands die down and then just forget it entirely for a while. I've never done the Nintendo home console thing, so I don't have a burning desire to play any of the Mario or Smash or whatever is on there, but the newer Pokémon (Which have been out for what? 2 years?) and Legend of Zelda games are the first things that've actually caught my eye in a long while.
 
Pokemmo is pretty kino for those of you who aren't mentally ill and only like up to gen 5 lets be real gen 6 and the onwards are dog shit and almost all of the mons are slop and 3d games look like shit. Pokemmo is kino fun I'm almost finished kanto. it's my first time using charzard and that nigga is pretty strong.

i also have a level 8 zigzagoon named zigzagC00N that is my HM slave. hes been with me in gen five and gen two and hes in their hall of fame, he's my favorite mon but he will never gain levels.

edit - adding stuff

I am just catching up to the Super Mariomon drama. People here mostly just covered the tracing stuff, and yeah it's pretty bad(especially for a project that was PAID FOR) but I am more disgusted with the technical aspect of the romhack. Emerald is a pretty solid base, the only major glitch I can think of it has is Glitzer Popping(which you have to go out of your way for as it is an ACE exploit), so seeing all these bugs and glitches just made me facepalm. What a group of incompetent monkeys this dude gave money to, I can see why there is skibidi toilet jokes and traced sprites up the ass as this is the least of the mod's problems.
Shame, the idea is actually pretty interesting, execution is another story. Was this ever fixed in any way, or is it abandoned and permanently broken now that AlphaRad made his video on it?
