Has anyone found side mission 120 yet?
>Alpha Eevee locked to postgameSuffering
>>58466312i do not care what the japanese people have to say.
>>58466321Serebii says it only goes up to 119
>>58466312>troon flagopinion discarded. aren't troons programmed to automatically to love shit characters like this anyway?
>>58466331>listening to that faggotThere are more missions than that.People have found Mewtwo.
What’s the point of taxis
Are the mythicals in the game's files? Does anyone know?
>>58466354yes
useless piece of shit pokemon
>>58466286anyone have that image with the trade codes?
Can you trade Alphas from arceus to za?
>>58466355Huh, look at that, they actually are in the game, that's cool
>>58466378No. ZA has no connection to outside games yet.
>>58466336Just goes to show, that above all else, people hate niggers. Especially ugly ones like Nigcinthe
>>58466340the can quick travel you to locations you have yet to find and they also drop gossip about the game
do we have a randomizer for this game yet
>>58466364I love how the game goes out of its way to give the Kalos mons their time in the limelight in the story/side events and this retard jobs at the one thing he’s supposed to be useful for
>>58466340Good for new people, and a scam otherwise
5'11'' vs 6'0''
>>58466319I was actually horrified by this mission. Good job game freak
Restaurants or Royale Infinite for the 1000 battles? I have like 600 left
haven't found 1 single piece of clothing that doesn't look like horrific retarded gay SHIT.
Gave Beedrill a try online after posting about it in the last thread. It's as stupid of an idea as you'd expect. But getting a string of kills after Swords Dance and mega evolving is the funniest moment I've had playing so far
>>58466455All the outfits look kinda bad in the shop screen. the sweaters and stuff looks a lot better in motion. Alternatively just embrace the gay shit. It is France.
>>58466455I'm wearing the basic tshirt and pants I started with. I took off the team jacket and faggot hat immediately.I found an NPC that lets you borrow clothes but she picks what you wear. I became a tranny temporarily.
>>58466491same here. even the shopping music sounds like a parody trying to sound as gay as possible.
How do you get sidequest 119 and 120?
Are there any unique rewards for battling jacinthe infinite? I have 400 battles to go for the charm, its clearly not faster but if theres a reason to sweep her with excadrill 100 times in a row might as well do it now.
How good are Bug mons in this?

>>58466537After 100 battles with Lady Jacinthe, you will sparkle with her charm.With her jewel-like sparkling eyes, huge pink twin curls and dark skin, Lady Jacinthe might have been designed with Diancie in mind - seriously brilliant.After 500 battles with Lady Jacinthe, you will bathe in her glory.She has grace and nobility, yet innocent cruelty, doing whatever she wants without regard for the circumstances of those below her, which makes her feel exactly like a fairy, in both good and bad ways, and is the best.After 1000 battles with Lady Jacinthe, you will understand her brilliance. She has all the assets she was born with, the overwhelming power of an aristocrat, overflowing with radiant charm, and the ability to rise to the top ranks, and as a result, she has the self-esteem to turn even her own defeat into joy. An indomitable monster like Eternatus, that is Lady Jacinthe.
>>58466585this jacinthe bullshit is so forced she's fucking ugly
>>58466585I fucking love ojousamas
>>58466585Weird ass waifu, ngl
i got the suit, bros. im sorry to say, but this is as straight as it gets.
>>58466561i got her :3

>>58466721post game someone reported they might drop
>>58466721They're occasional infinite royal rewards, I've gotten a friend ball and love ball
>>58466721You get them from buying the DLC? I have the DLC loaded into my game and never encountered them.
>>58466721i got a heavy ball from an infinite royale ticket. caught my zygarde in it.
>>58466715Tarragon = Terra = earthCanaries are yellow, the Japanese Kanari sounds similar to kaminari, lightning.
How do you fart or poop or pee in this game. I almost beat it and my character hasn't even farted one time or peed or pooped. This game is so unrealistic.
>have to do more rogue mega shitgame fucking sucks
>every npc makes a face to match the music on your camera would have blown me away if they had done it for the npc pokemon too
>>58466789the rogue mega bosses are the best part of the game though
>>58466710Pretty sure you have to beat the game for them to show up.
i simply cant get drampa to spawn, he's never there
>>58466798You have to go there as soon as morning starts.
Is Alpha Lopunny the only one that spawns in a zone where there's nothign related in the area dex? because I just noticed it is completely isolated otherwise.
does the rock that stays on the field from rock tomb do anything? Can it block attacks if you position yourself behind it or something.
alpha skarmory is a really cool get. people really sleep on how absurdly good quick balls are for catching stuff.
>>58466811>Can it block attacks if you position yourself behind it or something.Yes
>>58466808got it finally, thanks anon
>>58466319Holy frick this was unironically horrifying and literally so dark, legitimate nightmare fuel...Uhhhh... Gamefreak??? I THOUGHT THIS WAS A KIDS GAME
>>58466809Alpha-only spawns don't count towards the area dex. Zone 20 would have like 50 things in the dex otherwise.
>>58466585Kill yourself
>>58466585Holy based.

Why do I start falling asleep when I start playing and then when I stop playing I don't feel like I'm falling asleep anymore?
I noticed a lot of casuals getting fucked in this game because there's no free switch when you knock out a Pokemon
>>58466971there's a small window to switch right before they send their next poke out, however it doesn't tell you what they're sending so you have to basically guess
>>58466971I haven't watched any playthroughs yet but I can easily see this game destroying a lot of casuals in general. I'm sure some streamers already have several embarrassing moments of not being able to handle the real-time battles.
>>58466864well area 20 is really special. I mean that for the previous 18 zones all the alpha spawns were somehow related to what was native to the area.
Is it possible at all to get trade evos on emulator? Im uaing ryujinx and the update just crashes the game

Got my first shiny today, i haven’t finished the story yet but yesterday i got the greninja mega stone so now i can relax and just enjoy the game
Top Tier quest waifus>Odette (perfume designer)>Gauche (Dragon nfe trainer that’s a member of the SBC)>Tesse (rookie cab driver)
>>58466541Our nigga Bois the heracross is God tier. Brick break+megahorn (pin missile raped everything in one hit till level ~30) +shadow claw and swords dance is good against 90% of major fights in the game. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up as an optimal mom for speedrunning >>58467149Finished the post game today and I have 2. Scraggy and Weedle
>>58466971The amount of streamers&co getting raped by that first Alpha Houndoom, hmmm
>>58466286So what's the best pokemon party to level up to Rank K in this season? I just started and found out the hard way they don't scale what pokemon you have with whom you're matched up with.
>>58467220I used mega slowbro with ice beam, surf and calm mind, my mega gardevoir helped with light screen and dazzling gleamJust get something good with surf and it should be easy there’s a lot of kids with emboars and charizards out there that are easy wins
has anyone tried using safeguard/lightscreen/reflect on mega shards and then going into a trainer battle? i cant check it right now.
>>58467220Gyarados A steel type (Excadrill is good)Last is your choice, I used Meganium but any strong mon works here
>>58467220A triangle, and avoid glass cannons
>>58467220Bulk is good. Maganium is actually super good for this reason
>>58467228Why bother? Trainer battles are piss easy. The goal should be finishing them faster not spending time using screens.
>>58467254This makes me wonder, does time freeze when you battle? I'm pretty sure it does since no night seems consistent. And I have been started a battle right when it said dawn was coming and it didnt change, obviously. So I feel like it doesn't matter how fast you actually take out the trainers but I could be wrong. Nta btw, just wanted to ask this and see if anyone knew for sure.
>>58467254it doesn't matter how fast you finish them, time doesn't count down during fights or cutscenes
>>58467244>>58467231I read a lot of people are using Gyarados, what would be a good counter against that?Also I chose totodile so I'm locked out of Meganium unless there's another way to get one.>>58467242A triangle? >>58467227I'll see what I can do there. thanks.
>>58467228Just tested it, yes it does
I am so bad at sneaking in the royale. FUCK all these sneak-up-to-enemy cards.
>>58467279>it doesn't matter how fast you finish themSpending 10 seconds to set up screens is a waste of time in the one shot fest that is normal trainer battles. I really dispose the mindless grind of getting challenge tickets
>>58467301should've played more metal gear solid
>>58467280Tbolt Starmie probably gets the job done, it’s really not that hard though, no one knows what they’re doing. Just farm kills by sitting on the perimeter of the action and spamming big AoEs or super effective hits
>>58467280You can get any mon in post game. If you aren't in post game I would highly advise against doing PvP
I saw some Japs getting seriously mad about the protagonist being a tourist lol
>>58467311Why would they be mad at the protag being a tourist? This isn't even the first time the protagonist isn't a native to the area
>>58467301>Been playing with wife>Running around like a retard dodging line of sight and still getting 80% first strikes>Wife gets caught 60% of the time being sneakyIt's really dumb. You need to be incredibly aggressive while they aren't looking and target around corners to consistently get first hits
>>58467280>triangleWater>Fire>Grass and the like
>>58467315tbf the game also does question you on multiple occasions why some random tourist cares so much about lumiose
I've seen people say the battle system would be better if you directly controlled the Pokemon and yeah it probably would be but... I don't think I'd like that? The whole point is you're a trainer issuing orders so I think I like the current way more even with it's issues.
>>58467421based, tell these animal fags to get a grip.
>>58467421It's the path finding. You dodge stuff yourself but your Pokemon moves with delay, so while you can dodge a Hyperbeam, your mon still takes the hit.I think it's fine as is unless it bugs out and your mon gets stuck
>>58467461tfw my meganium got stuck in one of the stalls at zone 8 and almost got gangbanged by the krookodiles and drillburs
The overworld theme won't leave my brain
>>58467421i don't mind the concept but the way its implemented is so clunkythere is no toggle lockon, you have to keep holdingyour trainer constantly tells the pokemon to reposition itself for non-melee moves which makes them take even longer than they already dothe ai doesn't even have rudimentary line of sight confirmation and will happily fire long range attacks while standing in front of obstacles
>>58467421Theoretically you would have more direct control, but that would miss the point. The point of this system is for you to feel like you're giving commands to a creature.Saying you should.just control the Pokemon is like complaining about Katamaris controls. There's a slight awkwardness to them but they exist for a reason, to deliver a feeling that wouldn't be the same if the intuitiveness of the controls was prioritized instead
>>58467310There's actually a few Mons you can't get in the post game. I think you can't find Scizor in the wild.
>>58467518Scizor and the two gen 6 fairy evolutions.
>>58467326Damn you're lucky you have a wife who's into the series anon
Emulation question: Has anyone gotten v1.0.1 working on Ryubing yet?And how do you use cheats to get the Kalos starter Mega Stones on Ryubing?Thank you in advance.
>Strategy meeting fatigue>Day/Night cutscene fatigue>Battle trainers higher level than you fatigueBrehs
i feel like steelix has hidden endure ability.
>finally got metagross>find out there's no meteor mash in the gameBOO
>>58467559? I know endure is a move but that’s it
>>58466286
>eelektross without levitateWhat's the point?
>>58467589i made a mistake calling it endure when it's sturdy. i seen some npcs and been positive im 1 shotting them, but i seem to recall my last 2 living with 1 hp
>>58467598He cute.
the best (and worst) part of the game are the mega boss fights. they would be so much better if the camera wasn't fucking you over at every opportunity as mega mawile chases your ass around the arena and you cant stop running but you also can't see where it is because if you rotate the camera it will eat you
It’s really funny how you can tell random people haven’t got very far in the game and probably don’t play many games when stuff like this blows up
>>58467676They don't know true hell until they want to hunt for Alpha Skarmory.
Can you find the fossils in the wild?
>try to leave the city>it dumps you back on a bench with a "haha that was weird"Why would they even put that to the game
>>58467679No, but you can still get them as alphas and/or shiny. Hope you don't mind resetting like 30 times for a tyrantrum that doesn't look like a monlet.
How long the game is?
>>58467700Pretty good length, like 20 hours casual with a few side quests and things. 100+ side missions
>>58466312I’ve seen some not hateful Japanese people like her
So, I finished the game and WHAT DO YOU MEAN AZ DIED? I THOUGHT THAT GUY WAS IMMORTAL. I really was hoping he'd turn out to be the postgame super boss trainer or something.
>>58466312Was watching Korone's playthrough and when Jacinthe appeared on screen she was quiet for a whole minute, almost as if she was trying her best to self-censor.
>>58467745>he didnt fight the post game double bossesYou didn’t finish the game
>>58467749okay, not the game but the story.
>>58467688I just got a regular Tyrantrum and you're right, it's small as hell. What the fuck?
>>58467746Get out.
>>58467756Debatable, but you did see credits
Uhh why was Icy Wind super effective on my Absol? Emulating couldn't possibly bug it like that, right?
>>58467766Some mons should just be Alphas from the start
Mega Alpha T-tar is fucking huge
>>58467766One of the mons that got nerfed in size because of how this game works, similar to Onix and Steelix. You pretty much NEED an Alpha for it to feel right.
>>58467802>>58467812I got an Alpha Tyrunt in about 7 resets thankfully.
How are rare spawns handled? Do they have a chance of spawning every day/night change or is it whenever you trigger a loading screen?
>>58467819Too bad the shiny is full odds. A shiny Alpha Tyrantrum would be really cool.
My main complaint with the battle system is your pokemon running back to you after doing a moveFor some of the mega battles those retards will jump in the way of attacks targeting the player when it would be better if they just stayed put
>>58467794Did you fight a Trevenant that used Forest's Curse on you
where do you get a metal coat?
>>58466286Here's a question for you, why the hell is that hag Claddia constantly trying to make we wear schoolboy uniforms?
This better be the greatest TM of all time
>>58467887missions and there is a guy where canari streams that sells them. But I don’t know when he is unlocked
>>58467878Ahh that was it.
>quest 119 unlocks after 20 reward matches>it's another tournament by jacinthe but she's the only opponent>it's literally just four consecutive, identical matches against jacinthe>your reward is the ability to fight her again whenever you want
>>58467957kek what a battle autist
The placement of wild pokemon outside wild zones is so much soulful and well executed than those inside the wild zones themselves.>Bird pokemon perched on top of poles and roofs>Trubbish hiding in alleys near the trashcans, sometimes with a Garbodor>Patrats on top of crates sleeping or on the lookout>Elemental monkeys chilling in the tress>Spritzee/Swirlix on top of food stallsMeanwhile in wild zone 16 for example they just said fuck it, lets dump a bunch of Falinks spawn points in this fountain/plaza area and they walk around awkwardly in a straight line and look so out of place.
>>58468030the wild zones are such a massive step down from the wild in PLA its unreal. going into zone 15 and its just a cramped hallway filled with random ghosts and bugs just standing in one spot
Has PKHex updated yet?
anyone wanna trade monkes or starters, I need a pansage and bulbasaur
>>58468044Yeah, and for some reason the cafe inside that wild zone is still open, they probably have to hire a new staff member to stand outside every other week since they get mauled to death by alphas.
>>58468055why's blud sideways
>>58468064the weird thing is there is a single wild zone (2) that is really well designed, but then the rest are complete ??? tier
>>58468030Wild zones just exist so that you can have high encounter density and find pokemon that wouldn't fit well in the city environment, rather than actually being ecosystems.If they had made pokemon exclusive to outside wild zones, it would have been more soulful but also a pain in the ass to farm encounters due to their lower density.Pokemon games on general have to struggle with balancing immersive/soulful pokemon placement with accommodating how the games are actually played, since some elements of encounter design are actually far worse now that random encounters are gone.
>>58468067no idea
>>58468072I think that's kind of the point, the wild zones are being made to handle the influx of wild pokemon attracted by the plot energy, so as time goes on they get increasingly hastily established in whatever space the city can afford to yield
>>58468073they perfected it with legends arceus imo. they designed those maps so skillfully and placed pokemon so thoughtfully. it also encouraged backtracking because you would be able to access new areas with new pokemon once you had more ride pokemon. being able to go back to the first map and surf and find a level 50 alpha infernape is peak soul
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
>>58468072I think 4 (graveyard) and 11 (riverside with claunchers) are kinda okay too.>>58468073>>58468091Makes sense I guess, I just wish they put a bit more thought into making them feel like they're adapting to that particular zone. Like having wild Binacles attached to rocks or the walls of waterways and then only detaching and bouncing around when you come close. Or maybe Excadrills carving out tunnels underground in some areas so it makes more sense to find cave dwelling mons like sableye/carbink.
how long would it take me to get a shiny alpha onix. would i want to kill myself doing this?
>>58468104Too small, find another one.
>>58468110I'm not doing that over again, bro. I'll be fine with my small shiny.
>>58468104What was your method? I kind of want a shiny Amaura for my team
>>58468120Just buy a billion fossils bro
>>58468120Save in front of the fossil restore guy and reset. Is it me or does this guy's stats kinda suck?
>>58468107You're more likely to get hit by lightning than roll a shiny alpha
>>58468107Just use PKHex whenever it gets updated. It should be soon?
Mega Pokemon that change massively when they Mega are obnoxious in this game where it's not just a one and done transformation as soon as you send it out. How do you build shit like Dragonite? It loses attack when it megas and it's special attack sky rockets.
>already found several shinies in a casual playthoughThey don't feel special anymore now that GF made it so easy to find one.
>>58468145Everything is a plus move so it doesnt really matter if your attack drops.Just throw draco meteor on it for funny haha big damage when you mega.
>>58468163Seems pointless to use it as a Mega at all then
>>58468149This is a consequence of overworld encounters rather than a significantly upped rate (albeit that happened in XY).Pokemon minecraft mods that have overworld encounters also tend to involve you constantly encountering shinies.If they wanted to make them rarer they could probably bring the odds back to the classic 1/8192 and shinies would STILL feel significantly more common than they did before.They wont though because a lot of people playing nowadays werent there for the days where shinies were so rare they were basically an unobtainable piece of trivia you only saw in pictures online and would never be able to actually encounter in-game. So people have expectations they can have full shiny teams during their actual playthrough and stuff.
>>58468149I haven't seen one shiny and I have just under 30 hours in the game, at the point just before the battle with Canari
Hot take, I actually liked that SV forced you to notice and identify shinies yourself instead of ringing an alarm bell, only problem is it is annoying for the more subtle or small species.
Whats the fastest way to catch dragon-types for the mission? Is it Gibles?
If I’m worried about being underleveled and rotating my team a lot, I can always just endlessly grind the ZA Royale for exp and levels until I’m satisfied, right?
>>58468186Bats in the sewers maybe.
If you have 1,100,000 Pokedollars can you just go full simp and pay Taunie's loan in full?
Yeah, it does look a little weird.
>>58468187Yeah.
>>58468175same except I finally encountered my first one and it was a fucking bunnelbythough it was at that point I realized I had heard the shiny sound before and just didn't know it was the shiny sound at the time, I just thought it was my mega bar getting full or something. so I've missed a shiny and don't even know what mon it was.
>>584681935'11" vs 6'
>>58468204Shinies don't despawn so that shiny is still out there somewhere.
>>58468189Good point
>>58468186theres like 7 bagon spawns at a time in zone 19

Revavroom where?
>>58468222Bagon? I don't think I've seen a bagon in zone 19
>>58468254is it still good even without Fur Coat?
Holy fuck, alpha Aggron is fucking huge
>>58468264>MASTER
>>58468256He means 18
I really liked Taunie initially but as story is progressing she seems to have some sort of baggage and acts weirdly on her own
>sneaking works as long as the other trainer doesnt see your trainer>the alpha gyarados preparing its hydro pump in front of them isnt sus enough though
>>58468247>Be me>Want to pay respect to my dead husband>Go to graveyard>Pokemon steals my ringCan't have shit in Lumiose

>forgot the time>suddenly find myself in the designated rape zone>mfw
>>58468292>can't challenge me if I'm not there
Taunie is the first rival/friend character since Blue that I actually care for. The other 2 are there too I guess
lmao you can lose the last battle
>>58466286Is there a strategy yet to catching Skarmory while avoiding becoming lion-chow?
>>58468382I just climbed on the roof.
>>58468382quick ball or murderize the lions first
>>58468382Just kill all the lions
>>58468374...what happens when you lose in this game? I'm 40 hours in and I haven't taken enough hits from wilds or boss megas or got my entire team fainted yet.
>>58468382Get something with Bulldoze or preferably Earthquake. Even better if it's something that's Flying type so you don't have to worry about it getting Earth Power'd to death.
>>58468391Just a black out/retry option on major battles, except the last. That just changes a bit of dialogue
>>58468391You get to watch your trainer get raped by the nearest Alpha Pokemon
pokemon on pokemon violence
>>58468438You have to respect these wild Pokemon, it is our duty as the human race to give them space, resources and our women. They are future doctors and engineers.
>>58468410sounds like winning to me
>>58468326I wish they weren't so retarded, lucky that loan shit didn't end with them being raped/sold for parts.>I'm just so heckin' grateful to AZ for taking me in I had to take out a loan to shoot promo videos???
Taunie is the typical girl who is hot stuff in high school so she decides to become a model but instead gets snatched by a fake modelling agency in the other side of the world that gets her in a huge debt and she has to start doing porn to get pay it off
>Today I will go into a "Let's play" thread and post my fetish
>>58468527Well? You doin it or not?
Its a shame you can't use moves outside of battle, I wanted to make a Wish cleric so I don't have to go back to Pokemon centers.
>>58468567>get Leftovers >put it on a Pokemon and let them out >stand there like an asshole waiting for it to activate
>>58468567Can you use it to heal when targeting mega crystals or other objects?
Where is the wild Dragonair?
>play ranked once>the least amount of fun I've had in any videogame in years>so miserable afterwards I uninstalled the gameSo no Kalos starter megastones for me ever then.
everyone talks about how easy it is to level pokes because of the abundance of exp items but honestly im not seeing it. unless youre just running in circles farming mega crystals to exchange for candies, the royale trainers are too strong for me to throw new pokes into the mix until theyre like level 70. what's the fastest way to farm up a new team to mess around with?
>>58468679Seriously? It's pretty easy, I got to rank K in six matches, and I wasn't even trying that hard. I got eight kills in my first match. Just make good use of AoEs and kill-stealing moves like Fly, Dragon Rush, Extreme Speed, etc.
>>58468679should've pirated it
>>58468689The fastest ways to grind EXP is either Z-A Royale or finding a strong Alpha you can reliably cheese/take down easily. That way you're getting the experience for the kill and you're also getting candies at the same time. The Alpha Arbok in Zone 10 is a good choice because you can lure it down onto the lower part of the rooftop and then hop back to where it was and it can't reach you, you can just kill it with ranged attacks. Something bulky with Earthquake or Surf also takes care of the Alpha Pyroar and its posse in Zone 17 pretty easily.
>>58468670I found one on a rooftop, it’s accessible by taking a regular ladder near Restaurant Le Nah and gliding across (there’s 2 such ladders, you want the one closer to the restaurant that overlooks a rooftop with 2 fletchling and one raised section, which has either dratini or a dragonair as a rare spawn)
>>58468712the best is taking a strong quaker into the pyroar zone i feel
>>58468679It's not that hard desu, bring a balanced team and watch your positioningSkill issue, ngl
Is it possible to get Dream Balls and Beast Balls in this game? Or Sport Balls other than the ranked battles season rewards?
>>58468692>>58468737I guess if I wanted to metafag and sweat and all I could do it, but it's the antithesis of what I want out of the game.
>>58468775Like I said, I wasn't even trying. I used my in-game team with no changes to movesets or anything. Dragonite, Gardevoir, Aerodactyl. I really don't think you need to metafag at all beyond using Pokemon that aren't totally outclassed. I expect the Kalos starter Mega Stones to be given away eventually anyway but if that's all you care about it really wouldn't take that much effort. I did it in an hour with zero prep.
What are the rewards, if any, for:>getting all Canari plushes?>completing the pokedex?>completing all side quests?
>>58466364One of the best gags in this game.
>>58468792>>getting all Canari plushes?none, but getting all the colorful screws gives you a giant Canari plush
>>58466364good chuckle
Why aren’t more people talking about the little details like how every returning landmark from XY’s Lumiose City; every cafe and restaurant, the Stone Emporium, the Poke Ball Boutique, the Looker Bureau are all located in the exact same places relative to their locations in XY? I noticed that instantly and found it cool, but nobody seems to care
>>58468801Please tell me there's some kind of radar for checking which screws I missed?I really don't feel like scouring the map for 3000 years.
>>58468816I mean, that's kind of to be expected, isn't it? Would be a little odd for them to scramble the entire city around.
>>58468816>why aren't more people talking about GameFreak reusing a map from over a dozen years ago?
>>58468821There are already a dozen interactive maps available online, I'm sure at least one of them has all of the screw locations.
>>58468782I guess I'm freaking out over the time limit, I don't have stage 3 evolutions yet. I don't do well with forced FOMO, it makes me super stressed and agitated, and I normally don't touch online games.
>>58468821>Please tell me there's some kind of radarheh
>>58468816because thats stuff that should be expected, and the bar is so low that those are impressive details
>>58468825There are, but it's not like you can directly compare and check which ones you've already collected
>>58467601It would be really funny if the game had hidden abilities the entire time and just actually had them hidden. It could also be that they had focus sash or something. I'm not sure if random npc's have held items or not, but if they can sometimes mega-evolve. its possible.
>>58468827What, like the time limit to get the Greninjite? Anon, you have two weeks. That's plenty of time unless you're a hardcore wagie. I was feeling just as stressed as you were about this before I decided to give it a try and an hour later I had the Mega Stone. Just get some decent fully evolved Pokemon with some good movepools, use at least one Mega, and just let yourself get into the groove.
>>58466364well surely it wouldn't be that hard to just burn off the lock theni mean it's not like there's an entire type dedicated to lighting things on fire
Is there a reference to this anywhere?
When do I unlock more hair styles?
>>58468836Yeah, I wish you could put custom markers on the map. Very annoying. Still, it's a bragging rights reward like most completionist shit these days, so it only matters as much as you think it does. If you're the kind of autistic that cares about this then you won't mind combing the map for every screw location.
>>58468853>I'm sorry. This Holovator is currently undergoing maintenance. You can't go any higher until it's fixed.
>>58468855never, but you can unlock more hair colors
>>58468849I'll give it another go, I guess. Everyone online seems to be so much further in while I still have Bayleef and Kirlia and the like.
I know it's a Pokemon game but I feel short-changed that 95% of the side missions are battling.
>>58468866lel
>>58468874Don't rush it, take your time. You have way more time than you think. And again, I really do feel like they're gonna give these Mega Stones away at some point anyway, they're just using FOMO to get people to pay for the online. You don't even have to do super well in ranked to rank up, as long as you get a few kills under your belt you can end up gaining points even if you get third place.
>>58468853Reminder that this is only for (You), NPCs can come and go without any issues.
>>58468877battling is the focus of this game, at the cost of almost everything else
>>58468877>Monster Hunter Sidequest>Look inside>Hunting Monsters
>>58468877I don't mind them being mostly battling, I do find it a little weird that most of them are essentially just tutorials. Feels like a lot of them are just there to teach you about Protect, about rain, about status effects, etc. Which I guess is fine, better to do it this way than just have a bunch of shit to read, it's just odd how late in the game I'm being taught about some of this stuff. It does make the few side quests that aren't about battling stand out, at least. I liked the one with the Trubbish.
>10 hours into the game>it finally rainsWoah...
Thank fuck I was inside me house then https://imgur.com/a/UgeLrOp
so you have to complete all of Mable's research tasks for the shiny charm?I hate the Go idea of "catch 50 of X type" shit just to rot in the box
>>58468946catching is the easiest request
>>58468925whoa lucky
>>58468946Mass releasing is pretty easy, at least. The real problem is beating 1000 trainers.
>>58468946It's a bit more complicated than that, if you do all tasks except the one for doing a thousand battles, which is going to be a common situation considering how long this one takes, then yes you'll have to do them all because you'll be short a few points. If you do this task first then you'll have enough points to ignore a few others.
>first non side mission shiny is an electrikeits over
>>58468827I got to D rank with a level 30 Gengar, Ampharos and Meganium, no megas
>>58468679I'm really liking it ngl. I even got to rank A and am still playing it once in a while since it's just fun. Made me appreciate the games battle system a bit more
Whats your guys team looking like? Only team members I'm really attached to are my Feraligatr, Excadrill and my Fletchinder (idk why I just prefer it over Talonflame so I don't evolve it)Remaining 3 slots are open though. I might use Mega Scolipede at some point. Maybe Mega Clefable. Not sure. What about you bros?
>>58468966Make her your main
Just caught delibird finally. Its kinda wierd they include delibird at all but cut out present.
is there any sort of tournament or elite 4 in the post game? is it really just infinite battle royale?
Does the "Goodbye, Gengar" quest just end like that? That's really damn sad...>>58468988Charizard, Metagross, Gengar, and my other 3 slots fluctuate but right now I have Blastoise, Chesnaught, and Tyrantrum. Probably gonna replace Chesnaught with someone else until I get it's Mega Stone.
>>58468988mega starmie and mega falinks. the duo of dudes who just look like regular guys.
>>58468997>is it really just infinite battle royale?Afraid so
>>58469007I wanna use mega starmie too but its unlocked so late. I've got an alpha starmie ready to use with the stone
>>58469018Computer, replace the Spewpa with a giant Canari. Now give her an intense urge to shove me in her mask, and increase my sense of smell by 5000%. Disable safety protocols and run program.
>>58468642Yes, as long as you are targeting something you can perform an attack>>58468988My story team ended up being Meganium, Altaria, Absol, Meowstic-F, Garbodor and a shiny Floette.Post-game I'm trying to decide what to do long term. For years I've had a "main team" that I carry across games, what's in it can change if I want to or because of dex cuts, but some of them have been in it for years (and my ace has for two decades). But literally the only one that didn't get cut is my ace this time, so I need to decide what I'll do about that long term. Guess I need to decide if there's any old buddies I might want to rejoin, maybe, as well as new stuff I want to try.No abilities changes dynamic a bit, means stuff like Tyranitar is easier to consider
>>58467149I got the Greninja stone today. Fuck Mid-Rank battles. Just one big Mega Gyarados slug fest. Really hoping there aren't any more online-only rewards after Chesnaught.
>>58468988Scrafty and Victreebel are mainstays for me. I've got Camerupt, Feraligatr, Mawile, and Ampharos in team right now, but might play around a bit as I get further into the game (I only just unlocked Mega Evolution).
>>58466286>teammates in that Rogue Mega gauntlet in the climax are fucking useless 90% of the time if they don't outright have bad matchups into what you're fighting so you're basically dealing with 2-3 Megas at once with your oneThat shit was unironically harder than the Ange fight right after
>>58468989>herHow did you know?!
I love Taunie
Do you think Unova Legends will have a good postgame?
>>58469232>Postgame set in a Region based on America No.
>>58466666>but this is as straight as it gets.Is your mawile female tho
Thoughts on the dialogues? I gather that they can sound pretty weird sometimes, or maybe it doesn't apply to actual characters.
>lose to superboss since I was 10 levels lower than his mons but still got him down to the last mon>Dump candy into TTar to get him ~3 levels under him>TTar now sweepsWell... Yeah I should have expected that. Would have won the first time if I bothered to use items Games 6/10 it's fun but man does it have major problems. Music fucking sucks too. Time to grind out side quests.
>>58469300For the core 4 it fucking sucks way too many gen alpha isms. Everyone else? It's fine>>58469302>Music fucking sucks tooThat's what happens when you hire a YouTuber. The only good melody are remixes from base XY
>>58469302>Music fucking sucks too.???I thought the music was awesome throughout. Would've been nice to have more variety in city themes, maybe more variance between districts (visually too of course)
>>58469300Side quest NPCs are great, main story writing is Oof
>>58469300Some of the vocab comes from terminally online people but distinct and memorable characterization for the named characters, I like it.The random NPCs are some of the worst and forgettable in any Pokemon game though, very repetitive and a lot of the lines feel like AI rewrites of dialogue from old games.
>>58466666based stragithman git.
Ok, does ultimo Coffee actually do anything? I assume it raises friendship and heals like the other coffees, but like. surely they wouldn't put 100,000 coffee in the game with no real effect?
>>58469351It's not worth itt. wasted $100,000 on that thing
>>58469351I used a max money cheat, you have to buy 10 of them to trigger the cutscene.
>>58469388What cutscene?
>>58469300I hate it
I can save her...
>>58466331Oh God... 9/11... lest we forget...
>>58468030>dratinis, eevees, riolus and larvitars on random rooftops
>>58469437Sir a second Floette just hit the tower...
>>58469429That's a kid saying it so I don't see an issue with it
>can't get Absol to work online cause it dies from literally anythingFeels bad
>>58469463bulky pokemon are just better in this game
Having a hard time picking Pokemon for my story team. Just not that many that interest me atm.
>>58469129My schizoid theory is that the gender distribution is female skewed across the board.
>Twitter feed and youtube feed is nothing but ZAhow do I stop myself from buying a switch 2 just for ZA...
>>58469615by playing it on PC
>>58467802be real with me, how much cash did it cost you to revive him?
>>58466541I beat the game with a Beedrill on my team. I loved it but lack of bulk can be a problem in this game where opponents can get quick hits in before they faint.
>>58469615by not paying for it
>>58466728He means pre-order bonus for the game itself. Not sure how many stores did it but I got them from Smyths.
>>58469615Hack your Switch 1 and pirate it that way.
>>58466791Kinda ruined the serious atmosphere when I found it works on Lysandre during the Jacinthe tourney.
I really like the gameplay but they should probably add descriptors to moves (Homing, Close Range etc.) that signifies how they work in practice. It's kind of relevant to online to know that Play Rough can basically teleport you across the map and homes in perfectly.
>>58469770I don't mind actually having to familiarize yourself with the game's mechanics in single player before going online, but splitting the moves into categories based on their hitbox behavior would probably be a smart decision.
>>58469770>Fairy move is overtunedWoah
>>58468030>>58468044not to defend the game sense, which I do agree, but the point isn't that they are natural residents of the city perfectly placed like the ones outside the wild areas but that they are trapped in those sections of the city because they came attracted to the tower. As the game progresses, more and more pokemon feel attracted to it and that's why even fucking Pyroar prides end up swarming the city. It isn't meant to make sense.
>>58469302lol that happened to me too. I thought I was up to snuff then bam post game suddenly I’m 10+ under
>>58469804>Spend entire game effortlessly 3-5 levels ahead of most things except mega bosses I was even until the last 3rd of the game they had a level or two on meThey really need to just add more aggressive exp scaling to keep the player from being over leveled until they intentionally bloat the fuck out of superbosses.
>>58469839I don’t remember what level stuff like Corbeau or the rematch tournament was, but I never felt really over leveled. The jump in the post game from essentially replaying previous stuff to an level 84 boss was a bit startling when suddenly I get one shot by most stuff
>What's your type?
>>58469892>Just realized there is 5 bug megasNot bad bug bros. Who's your ace and why is it Bois?
FUKIN HELIOPTILE JUST SPAWN YOU... YOU...
>>58469962You are looking for it under an unclouded sky right?
>make it to yveltal>it moves like fucking tigrexWhy
>>58470036It clearly can't fold its wings up like a Pidgey or something, how else was it going to walk?
>>58470036I slapped it once and noticed dusk ball already had 4 arrows and immediately caught it. The legends were extremely disappointing
>>58470094Trying to catch in Premier like I do all legendaries/pokemon I like and it is not staying. Pain in the ass.
>>58470094Seriously, I had a harder time with the fucking Alpha Steelix you have to fight/catch in postgame for Xerneas, for whatever godforsaken reason the bastard was ALWAYS in 1 ^ catch likelihood, even at near-dead red and Drowsy.
>people with spoilers in their profile card in onlinelmao
>>58468853My headcanon is the blackout is the big event that happened five years ago that caused people to leave Lumiose. My memory of XY isn't the greatest but I remember all of the ultimate weapon stuff happening over in Geosenge so I'm not sure why everyone decided Lumiose is a dangerous place to be.
>>58470102Would be about 3* harder so barely a problem. The legends just have way too high of a catch rate. Random fucking alphas are way harder to catch. Hell the random skarm in 17 took me almost an hour to catch thanks to bad luck
>try online battles >everyone is just running mega X zards>pull out rock slides and thunderbolts>place 1st to 2nd every match with 5+ kos>get greninja stone in less than 30 mins
>>58470133>Doing online before post gameLegitimately deserve it
>>58470146Even with the Canari plush at 3 it maxed out at ^^, took like six tries before he stayed in.
>>58470159>Maxed at 2 arrowsThat's extremely high anon it's like 33-50% chance. If you think that's low for a fucking legendary you are showing your age. Modern pokemon having legends outside of the 3 catch rate is dumb
>>58470174I know it used to be worse because I took me 4 days to catch Darkrai a regular ass pokeball way back when. But it's been a very long time since Legendaries were difficult to catch, so I'm not sure why you're pretending this is a new phenomena.
>>58469166Taunie owes me sex for making me do all her chores
>>58470188I'm not pretending it's new I am continuously saying it's fucking stupid. It is just even worse in the 3d games when I can lob a ball and immediately and be favored to catch a legendary.
>>58469166I really hate the rival. This might be my least favorite rival of all time. Hop and hau might be annoying cunts but at least they didn't rope me into being a debt slave
the game literally forces you to catch them to clear the quest it'd be very weird if they made it hard to catch
>>58470215Taunie/Urbain are self serving assholes who literally do not care for anyone else as long as they're seen as a hero. It is actually fucking infuriating that no one really says anything about this either. Lida is also a non-character which doesn't fucking help things.
>>58470215>forces you into debt slavery>forces you to bail from Jacinthe's tournament without explaining WHY you need to leave despite the fact the bitch would not only fully understand the reason, but outright APPROVE of it if it meant she got to see some examples of your prowess outside of traditional battlesNot a good sign at all when I'm being reminded of how fucking stupid the Kieran debacle was solely because I, as protagonist-sama, am not allowed to have real agency.
>>58470223>Have battle to see who gets to be the hero>Win>I'm doing it anyways lol>This isn't portrayed as insanely self serving or making them a twist villain at the dead minimum >The entire story is like this I hate HATE this faggot
>>58470215>they didn't rope me into being a debt slaveThat's victim blaming.
>>58470234>forces you to bail from Jacinthe's tournament without explaining WHY you need to leaveI legitimately thought they were going to do the "oh shits about to happen yeah we will help" since there is 6 other members of the tourney and it would divide out to a nice 4v1 for each mega. What a stupid fucking plot point
>>58470241It's ridiculous that he fucking jobs on the first fucking fight in the tournament and you're expected to believe he got to A rank and that he's even strong at all
>>58470242>Sign contract>Hurr durr how was I suppose to know>Make your fiends deal with it while you are doing... Who the fuck knows what FUCK the rival
>>58470267A contract with abusive fine prints that would be illegal in any civilized country. And Corbeau forced you to deal with it, not your friend.
>>58470287No actually Lida forces you to deal with it because I said no and she cut me off.Bitch.
>>58470258And then it happens AGAIN with Phillipe, because for some godforsaken reason the idea of "Hey, if we're BOTH here to deal with the Rogue Mega for the sake of Lumiose, why don't we make our lives easier and team up to beat it?"Shit's stupid all the damn time here, I hate it.
>play as the ignorant tourist>surprised he got scammed by the friendly localkek
>>58470287>Pulling out a loan for a social media posts>Takes a loan out with fucking monstersWhat did the retard think was going to happen? Legality be damned have some agency what do you think is going to happen even in a "civilized country"?
>>58470298>completely forgot the second half of my post because the sheer retardation peeved me that badlyPretend I said "we instead have to battle for who gets to deal with the Mega" in there.
>>58470223the other girl mentions right after getting to B rank that you're the only one doing all the job. She even apologizes for just being able to like heal your pokemon before and after battling rogues. Taunie yells at her for that.
>>58470215I thought he was fine until the Rust Syndicate stuff>known extremely shady entity>take a 100,000 loan and don't suspect something is weird about it>interest makes it 10x Now I think he's a retardTaunie is still cute though
why the fuck would you even need 100k for a video and why not just do your fucking nightbattles to get the money back
>>58470325>why not just do your fucking nightbattles to get the money backThe same reason Joker in Persona 5 can't use his billions of yen acquired from running over shadows in Mementos to pay off the Kanashiro debt.Because plot.
My best Royale night so far, feels goodBig fucking spoiler in image btw do not open if still doing story
>>58470304>Go to Paris>Get scammedMwaaahhhh the French. At least it's true to life
Anyone have a metalcoat they are willing to part with? I don't wanna wait 15 more missions to get access to it man i just want my scizor.
>>58470318Corbeau wasn't even shady about it, he warned her about her filming skills before giving the money away. She's so full of herself that she thought her sloopy tiktoks would become viral.-Taunie dislikes the Vtuber because she's viral-Taunie dislikes Jacinthe because she was a better everythingIs almost like not being the center of the world causes her to become jealous or something. Serena's arc was waking up to not being the choosen one of Kalos, Taunie's arc is almost as if Serena has never accepted this outcome and pretended to be a hero despite everything. Holy shit.
>>58470318bwfore the rust syndicate storyline you can hand wave it away as oh the rival is just a dumb bimbo/himbo. After that it just gets worse and worse and the faggot turns out to be a complete tool by the end of the game
>>58470339Joker at least can't do it because how would he explain where this money come from? you do shady deals all across the city with shady people, that's part of the narrative. Here the loan and tournament money is clean money. I was expecting to grind those battles to payback the money but I guess they didn't want to force a long segment on players like that.
>two Pokemon games with Lumiose City and Prism Tower>somehow the only time we've ever actually been able to physically be at the top of Prism Tower is in Smash Bros.
>>58470383I thought the entire game the ending would be battling a bunch of mooks to get to the top. I hate how my ideas are much better than gay freaks
>>58470361>VTumor>It's actually a meat tuberCome on now anon
>>58470393Nah, I thought the same as you but then was glad that it was something much wilder. I genuinely didn't expect to be fighting Prism Tower itself or for it to end up looking more like the Eiffel Tower because of its inner structure
New thread doko?
>>58470411They should have made it like dynamax and your mons getting huge to have a massive kaiju fight instead of you just fighting 2 flowers at the base of it. The fight could have been cool but the implementation is awful. At least Zygardes attacks were cool
>>58470403she is a meat tuber but her gramps uses motion capture to act like her in holograms to host the live events. You have to concede a bit.
>>58470445Hmmm. Fair enough. EWhore forma de abuelo is a vtumor
>>58470569>>58470569>>58470569
>>58470570oops, forgot to change the name. it is what it is.
>>58467517Katamari controls great. The problem is the trainer controls like ass. This also goes for the "platforming" sections of the game as well. The idea is good but Gamefreak doesn't know how to do fluid feeling controls so it's just a bad experience. To be fair, I don't think letting us control our Pokemon would be any better because GF just inherently fails at this segment of game design, but it speaks volumes that people unanimously feel like it'd be a better experience because the "control by proxy" idea only adds an additional layer of jank on top of their terrible controls. As said in the thread before - they wanna be Xenoblade. Xenoblade has this kind of "control other units" system working just fine. Nobody complains about not being able to directly control those characters. Why? Because THE CONTROLS AREN'T ASS.
>>58467745He comes back from the grave after you get a living dex of all the shinies. It's a Jesus allegory.
>>58468073You know how they could have solved this?How about you>take the train to Wild Zone 12>It's an actual fucking other location with a wide map to exploreBut small indie developers, please understand.
>>58470628That's all on you desu. I enjoyed the platforming, and I play a lot of platformers. It's not super deep but the Rotom midair jump is satisfying to pull off.>As said in the thread before - they wanna be Xenoblade. Xenoblade has this kind of "control other units" system working just fine. Nobody complains about not being able to directly control those characters. Why? Because THE CONTROLS AREN'T ASS.Mate you're embarrassing yourself. I love Xenoblade and I can tell you that no Xenoblade fan will tell you the game has good controls. It's a series that has never even had a fucking pause button in battle that isn't pulling up the home menu or wasting a chain attack.Your comparison sucks too since ZA is not like Xenoblade at all. Other than the incredibly superficial comparison of commanding Pokémon to blades in XC2 but your blades aren't characters that can get hit like your Pokémon, they're basically weapons you select and attack with.Also hilarious you bring up platforming and Xenoblade together because it makes it obvious you never played one. Xenoblade's platforming is terrible. It's jank at best and glitchy bullshit at worst.
>>58470665Because that wouldn't make any sense. Why leave the city just to hang out in the forest for a while? It's not like LA where you were exploring the region, Kalos is already settled and developed.
>>58470344>visit paris>first thing that happens to you is a dark-type steals your shit>a 'local' that was keeping your attention on her offers to help you catch the pokemon>end up in a fight>by the time you get your shit back it's night>surprise, paris is a fucking PVP zone when night comes>get attacked by 4 different people who don't give a shit that you're "not a participant" as you try to flee to the safety of your hotel 3 of whom are only scared off by a local basically shooting a gun in the airYou have to give Gamefreak props for making the most realistic "Tourist in Paris" experience I've ever played. Also it's still fucking hilarious to me that "Gank a fuckers lead pokemon" is a valid strategy, here have a double edge from a freight train retard.
