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

[Celebrate Nite]

by the time Emerald came out I’d think they made it so Gen 3 followed on from the remakes of Gen 1 rather than the origanals.

Even if you want to make that assertion, you view the Gen2 Pokemon in FR/LG AFTER you get the NationalDex, which is a post-game feature, meaning not part of the main series. It's why your golbat will stay a golbat until you beat the elite four. It's why I don't have a problem with it being in Black and White because it's after you've seen the credits and completed the main game, so it counts as bonus material.

The Sevi Islands is also only in FR/LG, unless you count Naval Rock and Birth Island, but even then those two have event exclusive pokemon, so it's not official canon content.

Niantic and the tranny community manager are doubling down on the avatar change by saying players can now change their eye color (even though you could have done that with the older models). I think Ak knows the Tranny CM is the reason why Pokemon Go turned to shit, but he's trying to choose his words carefully. People are still pissed.

I spent more time with some biomes (mostly gasslands and lakes), and out of seasonal and weather appearances they're meh for the most part. I will say that I like the map and graphic updates when you catch Pokemon, but I'm not seeing anything drastic Pokemon changes unless incenses are used. I'm still seeing the same old shit and the same old Pidgeys and Yangoos, and I still struggle with getting pokemon on certain parts of my routes (like nothing shows up). I didn't do the stupid egg hatching event because fuck that.

On my demake of SV, I already said that my Pokédex was packed, but I found a way I could clear some space: I simply switched the Scolipede line (whic had a Future Paradox forme) with a Future Paradox forme of a Bug-typed Betamon. I think I switched which Bug-typed Betamon, too. Because of this, I can fi the beta versions of the Burn Tower Trio.

I miss the Sugimori watercolor art so much it's unreal. It made things seem more authentic.

The watercolors are nice but I started getting fatigued over the style after seeing fans of the monster taming genre community lazily ape it to make their own original, non Pokemon creatures. And these artists who love this style don’t even do anything unique or put their own spin on it, they just draw the same bug or bird or kaijumon with triangle eyes and sharp fangs and teeth. You almost never see a gen one style object mon or a gen one style cute Pokemon not based off of Pikachu or Eevee. The monster tamer community always complains about how Pokemon has such a hold on the genre yet they won’t stop drawing their own creations in its style.

Have we heard anything at all about Pokemon ZA? I'm so hyped to how GF is going to fucking ruin Kalos with their fucking bullshit.

No, why would we? it’s only been 2 months since it was announced and it’s coming out sometimes next year.

We are like half a year away from learning anything.

And anything GF does to Kalos would be an improvement.

Have any of you been playing Pokerogue? It’s a few weeks old now but I found out about it a couple days ago. It’s a great implementation of Pokemon as a roguelite (better than Emerald Rogue, which I also really liked) and it immediately earns my praise for using a bunch of Mystery Dungeon music.

Didn't even know it existed. I'll have to give it a try.

A lot of people do; and it's not because it made things authentic but rather distinguished; pokemon's artstyle has become more and more generic overtime; I don't even think Sugimori's artsyle is the goat, just look at old card artworks from gen 1-2 and you'll find both cards that gives you that classic nostalgic vibe as if they were drawn by Sugimori but also absolute gems; umbreon cards from all gen 2 sets for examples; none of them has been made by Ken, but they are simply gorgeous.
There are other aspects that contributes negatively with that, beyond the artstyle itself, a few times you can blame the background, other times the new pokemon themselves being overlydesigned, the the ugly logos present inside the pictures or placed over the offical art itself; game and the frame of the trading card around the art itself, which a lot of times contributes with the whole blandness thing. The fact that the design of human characters are complete ass doesn't help either, and when they are in 3d I would argue that they're even uglier.

Give it another year before they send the hype train into full gear again.

Everyone forgets the Gen 3 cards when they did shiny pokemon right. No idea when they started backsliding on them but "radiant" pokemon just sounds retarded compared to just putting a shiny star next to their name with art of the shiny version and giving them the same treatment as the current UR alternate art trainer cards like they used to.

Gen 2 Shinies were more of a collectable rarity than practical, some had almost decent attacks but were also poorly unbalanced by their insane energy cost since you were able to play them at any point.
Still, the only card worse than them that comes in my mind is Neo genesis Lugia, that one was absolutely unplayable, with the need of 3 specific energies and to discard them to deal not even 100 damage.
Speaking of which, why the fuck is a psy/flying and not water/flying?

What's this site for?

relic castle used to be a site for hosting pokemon fangames/romhacks before ninty brought the hammer down on it

Pokerogue is pretty fun.

It does learn Light of Ruin, I noticed the game said "Floette is now available as a starter" and I feel like I shouldn't have access to this thing after just my first run.

Edit: Yep, it's a starter.

Everything becomes a starter once you’ve obtained it at least once. As for me, I hatched a Hoopa which became my new main. Great starting moves, and its ability that lets you steal a Pokemon’s held item upon attacking it is hilarious when you realize there’s no limit to how many items a single Pokemon can hold. Unfortunately, I lost to the final boss, and I was just one or two hits away. If you want a piece of advice…

Spoiler: Vague-ish spoilers

You can find a Tinkatink/Tinkaton/Tinkatuff in the Ruins biome. Catch it by any means necessary. Just trust me.

You didn't even have to tell me to catch the hammer fairy. It's location is more than enough. I fucking love Tinkaton. It's the single best designed Pokemon of the most recent generation.

Also, I know that IVs are aggregated. How about natures? How does that work with starters? Never mind. Figured it out. It's under the picture frame of the Pokemon itself.

PokeRogue is pretty fun, but I think every single loss has been to a sudden massive difficulty spike. Even the Minecraft splash text jokes about them. My last one was against the Floor 30 boss. All of her Pokemon were just 6-7 levels higher than mine and none of them evolved so I had absolutely no avenue of victory. I had even gotten SUPER lucky with bonus EXP charms and everything. Most of the time my item luck is absolute dogshit and I get Pokeballs and worthless berries every drop.

This feels kind of like Vampire Survivors where I'm going to play it a lot for like 3 days and then never touch it again.

My first run, I made it to floor 120? before finally falling. My last run last night ended at I believe 140 losing out to a poison type gym leader. All of my other attempts in between ranged from floors 20-50 but I had focused more on catching Pokemon than pushing to higher floors. I haven't experienced the bad luck you've described.

I think the early progression strategy for an account revolves more around catching Pokemon to fill out your starter choices and fishing for good natures for those Pokemon. Eternal Floette has been putting in work for me thanks to its fully evolved BST and I've caught/hatched enough Pawmi to start a run with a near perfect IV Adamant Pawmi with Parting Shot. Later when Revival Blessing is implemented, that little bastard is gonna be my medic.

My last run, I picked up a Masterball on floors 10-20. I was worried about losing the thing but I did find that Tinkaton to use it on. I also got my first shiny Pokemon. It was a Combee... a male... Combee....
