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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Since this is the only real relevant thread, I just want to vent about Niantics nonsense regarding Origin Palkia and Dialga.

What the fuck is with the cost on their Adventure Abilities, and what sane person would even use "Roar of Time" over just buying another lucky/piece/incense?

5 candy of a legendary Pokémon, which mind you, raiding is the only way to consistently get them and if remotes are your only option, they cost cold hard cash to get, same goes for rare candies, and 5k stardust, which isn't a lot but without weather boosts or bonus dust species is effectively 50 fucking catches. If you pinap the legendaries, that's effectively $2 a use, $4 a use without the pinap, then fucking stardust. Why would I spend $2 to get 12 more minuets on any applicable item when it costs less to fucking buy another one?

Spacial Rend is so close to being really fucking awesome, a spawn range boost would be useful as fuck when I'm actively out playing, but again, $2-$4 for 10 fucking minutes of range extension. Make it an hour, bare fucking minimum, or eat my ass you hack frauds.
 
After years of ducking Generation II, I have finally finished Crystal! Playing through it, I began to understand the nostalgia-ridden hype the generation/games have garnered for years, but it still felt like a slog, at times. Most egregiously, the level curves... Man, oh, man. However, I decided to make this first playthrough at least somewhat more memorable by patching in the "Crystal 251 " enhancement.

The patch does as its name suggests and makes it possible to obtain every Pokémon in Gen II. It works in the GS Ball event, changes trade/gift Pokémon events so you can get those elusive trade evos without suffering, and has neat static encounters for some trade evos as well—there is a Machamp in Mt. Mortar close to where you can find the Karate King, for instance; the Ilex Forest and Burned Tower have wild Chikoritas and Cyndaquils, respectively. There are also some changed items in stores, but that's about all. It does not change the trainers' teams or levels, but that's not its purpose, anyway.

All's well that ends well! I'm going to start up SoulSilver and nuzlocke it.
 
That's odd. Can you log in to your old account using another device? To clear up if it's a phone thing or an account thing. I haven't played the game in years so I'm just brainstorming.
So turns out Pokemon Go is one of those annoying apps where it absolutely NEEDS Google Play Services to not only be on'n'active, but also updated to the latest version, which at the time of typing this is 24.07.13.

I had something similar happen to me on the Uber Driver app, and their support couldn't figure it out either. Should have put 2 and 2 together but now I know, and thankfully Pokemon Go is working for me again.
 
You would think it would be any other generation since that has been relatively recent.
No. Kalos is the most undeveloped. And unlike most others the events of the past straight tie into the game of XY.

And really Kalos is not that recent. It’s only one game away from getting remakes.

And XY were the games where they said ‘we planned to do things different’

So getting LegendZ instead of remakes would fit

I’m just glad it’s another Legends game. Mean I won’t suffer with getting trades.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?!

That was the most corpo shit shit I have ever seen, it was like watching a chinpokemon scene IRL. People talk about watching out for Microsoft etc but this was like some dystopian shit. "New ways to enjoy Pokemon whilst you walk and sleep" Bro, it's fake we know. It's like trying to explain to a schoolfriend that wrestling is fake but they are vehement it is real. There is no fun in it anymore even the Z trailer was boring as dirt.

It is all so gougey as well, Unite has one of the most aggressively shit models I have seen and the TCG gets treated like crap once again.

For me personally Legends was "fresh" but nothing amazing but SC/VI they really altered my view of the game.
 
My god. Everything about it was corporate as fuck but never in a billion years did I think they were going to finally give Zygarde the medical healthcare he needed.

Get well soon, Zygarde. You're gonna need it.
The Palworld discourse really made them break the "in case of emergency, release pokemon Z" button
 
Uniggies will at least get a chance on better hardware with the switch 2, it still won't run well, but it's a chance
No there is not. New hardware leads to issues. Every time. And well it’s Unova the games everyone insists are perfect despite them being hated originally. They could release perfect and it would still be the worst thing Pokemon ever did.
