To add on to this, the shiny Ponyta also has a functional purpose: to show you the indicators for shiny Pokemon being near you, guaranteed.

Well, I completed all 242 Pokedex entries and got the Shiny Charm. I’m already seeing the charm’s effects but it’s not applying where I expected it to. I’ve seen seven Shiny Pokemon since I got the charm and only one was from a mass outbreak (Qwilfish), the other six I’ve encountered (a third Geodude, an Alpha Golduck, Buneary, Chatot, a male Combee, an East Sea Shellos, and a second Aipom) have been “normal” encounters.
Did you get the Shiny Charm after catching Arceus and reporting to Laventon? I’ve been hearing mixed reports about Shaymin and Darkrai being required for Shiny Charm eligibility.

Yeah I got the Shiny Charm, no need to buy or borrow SwSh or BDSP for it.

Well, grinded up to Full Rank, still a handful of Pokémon I haven’t gotten yet, got all the wisps, got all but one of the Old Verses, and found out that the Plates you get from Pokémon also have writing on them.
So there’s that.
So there’s that.

Wait, are there Pokémon tied to save data? Shit, I only have one of those games. Which one is tied to which?

Well, I do prefer Shaymin, so I guess that’s fine.
Christ, why does the camera start fucking up when you’re running on Wyeder? I swear, it’ll just swing wildly in one direction all on its own.

Welp. I gone and soft-locked myself with the Cresselia glitch like an idiot, but I'm taking it in stride because:
A) I put enough time into the game and should focus on more important matters.
B) I was contemplating restarting the game at a later date anyway.
In any case, I'll wait until the next patch before I pick it up again.
(EDIT: I just realized I could create a second user on my Switch to create another save file if I want to so I can leave the other one alone until HOME compatibility arrives. I'm really striking out today.)

Unsurprisingly the “PLA is a colonizer simulator that is disrespectful to Ainu culture” take is very common on Twitter. Also unsurprisingly it’s all from Westerners who probably knew fuck all about Ainu culture or even their existence before this game dropped.

They’re also pretty damn late to the party, I remember people starting to talk about this (and trying to start shit) when the game was announced.

Man, fuck Kamada. Knew there was a reason I didn’t like that guy…constantly bring up how people distrust me, have some balls and admit it was you, jackass!
So I’m at the choice of who to team up with, and I’m assuming this decides who the final boss of the story stuff is, so question to everyone:
Who looks cooler as a boss: Dialga or Palkia? Because I’m leaning toward Dialga, meaning I need to have Irida help me.

Fuck. I knew I should have switched to another Pokemon, but I decided to risk keeping out my Jolteon, and killed the Alpha Piplup that spawned.

so i've finally made it to cobalt coastlands after procrastinating doing the main quest. my star rank is now 6, so pokemon level 80 and below obey me. naturally, none of my actual party pokemon are anywhere close to level 80, with the highest level being level 56, but i'm still overleveled anyway so lol.
i seriously regret delaying the main quest, though, because getting basculegion is a fucking godsend. literally as soon as i got it i went back to the first area and swam my ass to that previously inaccessible island so i could catch an alpha infernape. and oh my god traversing the crimson mirelands is so much easier now, since i can just ride wyrdeer and then throw myself into a body of water and automatically switch to basculegion, so i don't have to find those shitty fucking narrow bridges anymore.
also i'm trying to figure out if i want my scyther to be a scizor or a kleavor. right now my party is alakazam, scyther, floatzel, staraptor, luxray, and typhlosion. i'm probably going to replace floatzel with something that has dual-typing. eventually i'll probably have to do that with luxray and alakazam as well, but whatever.

The worst part is when the alphas use Double Edge to kill themselves.

So I'm flying through Obsidian Fieldlands on Braviary and I see a Gyrados flying hundreds of feet up in the air - is that normal or is it some kind of glitch? I mean I know it's half flying-type but still

It is not a glitch. Gyarados has, on rare occasions, been shown to fly in various media. In Pokemon X and Y, it was even allowed to be used in Sky Battles.

Not to mention, that Gyarados is a dragon (well a dragon in the sense that Charizard is a dragon).

lol you JUST saw that? on a whim I threw a feather ball at it from the ground and actually caught it first try, and yes I'm bragging because it was pretty fucking awesome. the actual gyrados was kinda shit, though.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it's not even like you can avoid it, either, since the AI aren't actually retarded and should you send out a ghost type to prevent it from using Double Edge, it will just use a different, probably super effective, move against your ghost type and knock it out. so frustrating.

Man, I was having a real bitch of a time stunning those tornado Pokémon quick enough to start a battle until I realized Jet Balls can stun them. Hell of a lot easier.
Also it’s good to know the distrust I had of Kamado, that potato mochi guy, and Volvo at the beginning was justified. All three of them had it out for me in one way or another, so it wasn’t just my imagination.
If they’re not in Spacetime, just save right before battling them and they should respawn if you need to soft-reset.
