I didn't matchup well against Will and caught an ursaring in victory road. I was wondering why faint attack dealt so little damage when it says super effective.

Well, to be fair. The series wasn't exactly transparent about how the damage formula worked. But this was an hilarious case of an "HP to one" event

New direct came and went and still no new megas. Why are they being such pussies about it?

It's only been a month since the Presents and substantial information on new games is usually saved until the summer to start drumming up hype for the inevitable Q4 release.

Besides, if you believe the bullshit leaks, you can maybe gaslight yourself into believing that the trailer confirmed them with this handy chart.

Confirmed Pokémon in green, "leaked megas" in red, it is hilarious watching people seethe in confusion over why their "totally real" leaks were not immediately confirmed in a Nintendo Direct. :story:

Baffling that they don't even have a release date yet, though. That's the significantly more insane part to me. This game is coming out in 9 months maximum and they can't even settle on a month to release it in? Lmaoooo.

Here is some more fun statistics for you. In order for me to catch Lugia yesterday, it took me:
*About 2 and a half hours of game time
*Whopping 90 Max Repels
*4 Attempts to catch it(that means on average over 20 Max Repels used up between a single encounter)
*Over 60 Pokeballs(yes, Pokeballs) thrown
*One egg fully hatched AND an almost immediate friendship evolution the moment it levels up(Togepi Egg from Water Labyrinth). This means that I had to spend so much time swimming back and forth on a tiny piece of land that in the meantime, I got it up to maximum 250 Friendship before I even killed a single random Tentacool and leveled it up with an EXP Share.

I don't mind legendary hunts, in fact they are often one of my favorite parts of the game. Still, this is a major slowburn, it will take me a week or two just to finish off the last few Legendaries on my list. Sevii Islands are usually the shortest postgame out of all the games, too. Usually, the rarest Pokemon in the game have a 1% to be encountered but I swear the modder set the chance up to be less than that. Legendary encounters took way less time to trigger before the postgame, but I could just have a horrifically bad RNG on my part.

As a kid I was afraid to use the name changer, because I was convinced that he'd eventually decide he liked the name I chose and wouldn't let me change it again.

I think this actually can happen back in the day. Couldn't change a Pokémon's nickname because it was "too good" or something like that, which was baffling. Unless I was trying to change a traded Pokémon's name I dunno lol.

I believe it is a simple Trainer ID check, ie if it belongs to you, nickname can be changed. If the Pokemon doesn't belong to you(trade, event) then you can't change it's nickname.

For the sake of the series that I've loved since my childhood, I pray for its success, but this game is shaping up to be some absolute :trump:.

Looks fine honestly. I jusy want it to come out so all the youtubers stop going ‘guys, this Pokrmon that was in the original Kalis dex is confirmed to be in a game where yoh can get the entire Kalos dex! This is shocking.

Honestly I think it suffers from

It is a second Legends Game so we know all the Pokemon we are getting, we know the Region, we know it’s a Sequel and therefore we know roughly what stuff to expect.

Like ‘at night strong trainers rank up’ should not be a surprise considering you vould do that in Kalos

With Arceus they could do anything. With a second game under the same title they are more teetricted and unlike mainline it is not a new Region so they can’t just do whatever.

Which is probably why they are holding off on the Megas and Forms they have to try and keep marketing going for as long as they can.

@all tell about any time in Pokémon games you played like a moron because you didn't know you were one. Like when I pressed B on mudkip my first time ever in gen 3.
It never learned mud shot. I lost so hard to may multiple times i thought grovyle was a god.
So I restarted the game with treecko and didn't knew it would become the hardest playthrough ever with the bad type matchup of sceptile.

I want to hear your stories, go.

I was a dumb child playing Soulsilver so I was hardstuck on Clair. It didn't help that I autistically used the Pokewalker on my whole team everyday I went to school and levelling up via Pokewalker means they don't learn level up moves. I remember my Feraligatr being stuck with Water Gun because of that. Even though the Waterfall HM is right there and is literally his BiS water move. I googled how to beat Dragon types and it said use Ice. So I spammed Feraligatr's Ice Fang... on Clair's Kingdra...

I vividly remember losing to Clair multiple times trying the same thing over and over and only winning because Ice Fang froze Kingdra after enough attempts. He's chilling in Home now.

Only slightly less sad than all the FE4 fans crying over every direct not announcing their totally real remake. I even heard cope that Engage's poor performance is why they haven't announced it yet.

Speaking of Ekans and Koffing, I still think them evolving into Arbok and Weezing feels like a late thing. Whatever pocketmons Team Rocket has later seem out of left field.

Like I said earlier, I stopped keeping up with the animus when Ash and the gang were stuck in the Orange Islands and Brock was replaced with Tracy. Maybe I was disappointed that Ash made it to the big leagues -- literally -- only to lose and then he ends up in the Orange Islands with that wandering around GS Ball plot that did not go anywhere.

At least James was consistent with that gag with grass types loving him too much.

But everything else felt kind of random, in a way

My favorite James gag was him always kicking a Pokemon and it conveniently evolved then and there. I remember an ancient meme TCG card back then called "James's Boot."

That's wild, but yes, that sounds right for my position. The house was at the bottom of the screen.

I was talking about this with my husband, and he also remembers the running overworld beast...
I'm very tempted to boot up Crystal on the virtual console, and playing up to there. I just got a see.

Buuuut I had this elaborate thing to also get shiny starters in Crystal, and it involved trading to Gold and performing ACE glitches, and it was just a lot of waiting for trades.

Played a lot of Unbound today, I just don't like how I love the mini missions and extra content but absolutely hate the main story.

I realized that since I activated the level caps, I rotate a lot of pokemon in my team. I currently have 20 pokemon at lvl 52 (my level cap).

I just got into the criminal city, I even had to pay to use the pokecenter lol

On pokémon special sun and moon manga:

I read the first 5 volumes, only one left. I dunno if it is because I didn't play the games but it kinda felt... Underwhelmed. But I also didn't play XY and I liked it way better. It isn't bad by any means, it just felt kinda generic, without all that passion from BW, RSE, DPPt.

I will read the final volume later today, but so gar what I liked were the ultra beasts and that ultra world, cool idea but not very well explored. It was the same with Alola overall, we barely see the cities/islands unlike the previous arcs.

I really wonder if we peaked and now is all downhill...
