Can I change the console's date to progress faster?Yes. There's no downside to moving forward or backward. Other than doing events early>Is my favorite Pokemon in?https://www.serebii.net/pokemonpokopia/availablepokemon.shtml>I didn't like ACNH, will I like this one?Similarities with ACNH end at the UI; game is a lot faster, with more activities and a proper ~40h long story mode.

Japanese magazine Famitsu recently had an early preview of the Pokémon Pokopia Bubbly Basin expansion. In this, they got a look at the new area and its elementsThere is a new Pokédex in the game for the new areasEven though Bubbly Basin is mostly underwater, there's some areas that are above waterMore Pokémon including Wiglett and Mareanie have been confirmedWhen underwater, you can use Rollout, Rototiller, Rock Smash and Leafage with no issuesThere is a new item available in the free update of a shared storage unit, which allows items placed inside to be shared across all similar units no matter which town or location they are placed. This is a unique item that can be crafted and, in the preview, could store up to 140 items .Frameless glass is available as a new item available in the free update allowing for you to place glass without a frameA new item will be available for electricity generation under water Source:https://www.serebii.net/ and here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtLcMpKDwR0
This board can't keep this thread alive at all, the kids would rather spam genwar bullshit to bump the good stuff off the board.Anyways, seen the outfits added, shame it wasn't the OG May, but the remake May is fine to have
Why isn’t it updating yet?
>>59480947I'm always irritated how we never get OG Red in anything eitherIt always has to be the inferior Fire Red design
>>59480883>Wiglett underwaterWe'll see its legs?
>>59481077lolDo you honestly think so?
>>59481077It will be just like Diglett and Dugtrio.And when does it fucking drop?
>>59481057>>59481163It doesn't come out until tomorrow
>>59481160it would be weird if it can't follow you while swimming...
>>59481246They will float up with their rockCome on, you can't be so dense as to think they'll show a diglett or wiglett body.Then again this is /vp/...
>>59481250That wouldn't make sense. Then again neither does vid related...
I still haven't finished Sparkling Skylands. I just hate it there so much
>>59481281Really? I like it aesthetically and flying around is neat. Ain't no way I'm rebuilding that mess though.
>>59480947>Japan reaction to Bubbly Basin>all freaking out about various decorations, the new Pokémon, hairstyles, outfits, and every other feature the DLC adds>Westoid reaction>Ugh, FINALLY, they fixed the game with shared storage! I guess the game is finally playable now.Westerners just don't like the game as much as Japs do. They'll buy it and play it a bit but they're unreliable, soulless, uncreative and won't stick around.
>>59481432Do w*stoids even like anything at all?
>>59481432i might be the only person who didnt really want connected storage since it makes the game feel more like an actual video game instead of minecraft creative mode lol
>>59481281I'm the oppositeIt was the first place I renovatedHaving everything on separate sky islands helped me focus on smaller ideasRocky Ridge on the other hand is my absolute least favorite place(I still removed the ash and placed grass all along the surface though)
>get incredible urge to play pokopia again because i miss it>already 100%'d the game though so nothing to do>check thread out of curiosity>dlc tomorrowHuh, that worked out nicelyCompletely forgot dlc got announced desu
is the DLC out now?
IT'S OUT
>>59482251Yes
Might actually try to restore the entire town for once since it'll be easy to focus on just one new one.
Did they add any new utilities?
I'm in
>Wireless Power Transmitter polesHoly frick
So what does it look like with the Dive update but no DLC? Is it just flat ground or is it there with a prompt to buy the DLC.
Let's Go is the doomed timeline.
Can you get the legendary bells from cloud islands or can you only craft them? I just need those 2 to complete the pokedex but my dumbass used all the feathers not realizing and now I don't have the patience to wait for them to spawn but I can't find an island with the bells to scan
I found Misty's outfit at her gym
Cursed
Is this $35 for the WHOLE expansion pass, including pt2 + pt3, or just Basin?
>>59482650it for the whole pass you can't buy part separately
>>59482650Whole thing
here is pokopia Ver. 2.0.0 notes https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/71348
What new CDs have you guys found? I found Undella Town (Summer) and I'm curious how many new CDs they added.
Is there a way to get the new chest that shares inventory in a cloud island or is that single player only?
https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/part-1-bubbly-basin-70050000074547-switch-2/I DON'T WANT THE ACCESSORIES SHIT. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
What's with the bizarre mix of schizophrenia and shit taste in some anons on this board.
>>59482500prompt to buy DLC. also Manaphy just disappeared.
Haven't gotten my nigga Totodile yet, but Mudkip has been acquired
Where are you all putting your Sharpedo base?
>>59482915that area with the metal floor to the right of the starting area is the perfect shape for it so i put it there
>>59482903you get totodile when you progress in the Basin story and i found him at Nugget Bridge
the new dream island you can find heat and dry rocks
>you can change the orientation of doors on a blockabsolutely incredible
It's been sitting in my bag for weeks.
Here are all the know pokemon of the basin
>>59483070Plus Feebas line that's coming in the event year this month
>>59482555Moar loar?
>Phione is the new "legendary"
>>59482555>the adventures that led him to become championFormer champion. Don't drop the humiliation ritual narrative halfway through.
Since this is a water DLC, they should have added Mega Toi- I mean Feraligatr.
>>59483087*a Mega Feraligatr toilet item
>>59483070>no Relicantha grand fumble
So how well do land Pokemon deal with the new area? I have a few favorites id like to bring along
>>59483162>So how well do land Pokemon deal with the new area?They hate the water but love the small non-water area and island
where do i get 2 ocean doors
>>59483070>FrillishNice>No Wailordwhu
>>59483070>Starmie>Chinchou>Crawdaunt line>BUIZEL LINE MY GOATS>Stunfisk>Malamar line>All the Gen 7 mons especially Dhelmise>Drednaw>PincurchinI might have to buy this…..
>>59483318starmie is tied to the treasure maps
>>59483333I have no idea what that means
>>59483070Why do they like Luvdisc so much?
>Only 50 new pokemon >No new unique forms This is boring
>>59480881Is it just me or is Bubbly Basin huge? I did some exploring before I got started on building habitats and such and it seems like it's closer to the size of Pallette Town or a Cloud Island than any of the other towns.
>>59483070>JellicentI okay I'll buy it now. Chinchou and Kingdra are great choices too.
>>59483070>dhelmiseuhhh based
Finally got myself a Switch 2, can I play Pokopia without the DLC? Or does the DLC enhance the base game? I'll get it eventually but due to region nonsense payments are troublesome, I have enough in my account for the base game.
>>59483727You'll have plenty to do without the DLC.
>>59483731That's great. I'm just asking because if the DLC adds some base game content too, I'll get it as well right now, just need to order an Eshop card because I'm Asian and our Eshops fucking suck so we use the American Eshop, but we need to use American Eshop cards to top up.
I just started playing the game, so are habitats just for luring a mon to join you, and then you can move it into an actual house?
>>59483070The DLC itself is great but this roster is baffling. I hope they add some egregious Water-type omissions through events or something the way they are doing with Feebas/Milotic.
>>59483757Yes
>>59483070You were too good for this shit game my child...
Did anyone not put the monument you find in the town square right on that square like the game clearly intends for people to do.>>594837822nd DLC town is 100% an ice town so anything vaguely Icy aside from Lapras is being saved for it.
>>59483734I'm not sure when the DLC diving stuff would unlock for a new player, actually.
>>59483849It unlocks after you do all the stuff in Bleak Beach I'm pretty sure.
>>59483849The ability to dive is a free update. The DLC town locks the new buildings, resources, etc. But Bleak Beach and Palette Town will benefit greatly from the dive mechanic IMO.
can you bypass getting the dlc by taking pictures of dlc items in other players worlds then 3d print them yourself?
So what’s Totodile, Croconaw, and Feraligatr’s personalities? And Primarina’s?
>>59483333There are maps for the balls? Are they are all in Basin, or other areas too?
>>59482462Fuck's going on here?
>>59484347Imagine not enjoying the ruined look
Is the Marine Sofa recipe exclusive to RNG from those whirlpool spots? I already have all the decorative balls in place, just missing that one last piece of the habitat.
>>59482915It took some Rock Smashing and Magnet Rising to make it fit, but I nestled it into that little area with the Pokemon Center.
>>59482916Yeah there. I was going to have it floating but I didn't like how the door looked with nothing underneath.>>59482915Was it supposed to have some story attached where you get it from Sharpedo like Corphish said? Because I just found a kit for one in a whirlpool before I even made his habitat.
>Sharpedo is the one that scrubs Pearls.I hallucinated doing Clamperal as a hint and went looking for one.
>>59484522I thought Mareanie gives you the recipe during the pearl questline? Is it bought at the Pokemon Center? I feel like that's the very first one I received.
Returned to first area and warned of something in the ocean. Kyogre is just hanging out now and offers to make it rain whenever.
should I start my game over if I get the DLC or no
>>59484720No, the DLC just adds a new area for now.
>>59484722I haven't played it in a while
I'm disappointed there wasn't another backpack upgrade or PP up in Bubble Basin
>>59484720I restarted after reaching the floating city (completely DLC unrelated) and I've been having fun and progressing quite quickly since I already know what I'm doing and not committing the same mistakes as my first run, so my advice is, if you WANT to restart, it's not that bad.
>>59484753oke
I find it amusing they put a children's playground right next to the entrance to Cerulean CaveI'm sure nothing could possibly have gone wrong
>>59482712>Added an option in Settings to hide the confirmation message shown when canceling Magnet Rise.FINALLY
Hey if they give you repaintable house kits that you are able and literally encouraged to build floating above the ground in an environment where almost every inhabitant can freely swim, surely they'll give us a much needed alternate method to paint, right? And they wouldn't just give Smearguru a bubble helmet and let him merely scuttle about on the sea floor like a lowly cuckold, right? Right?
Is the spawn cap still 24?
>>59482915I put it above the town square. I must watch over my friends.
I haven't been to The Box in a while and I just saw that someone overhauled Curly's house. Damn.
Just need the Ocean Doors to build the big palace. Guess I'm wandering around for that.
>Trace became a championNigga WHAT
>>59485156The recipe is in the space you clear.>need the Dowsing Machine for BasinFuck, I have no clue where mine is.
>my one chance to go into town for the rest of the month>go to the store to see if they have physical "cards" for the pokopia dlc>nothingMaybe next month.
>ability to suck and eat while in Graveller formOh my fuck, its beautiful.Now if only they added the ability to be able to expand Rollouts hitbox to break through 2x2 and 3x3.
>>59484850We can only hope they come to their senses in the sequel and allow us to paint objects without a middleman
>>59484850>could have given us a special Inkay or Malamar that can eat paint and just shoot whatever colors you want>NOPE GET FUCKED
>>59485194Splatoon is 3 doors down buddy.
The Portal Pod has 4 screens of space. That’s massive. Stick meals in it, plus the main crafting materials. I love it.
>>59485182Thanks. Everything gathered, just gotta wait for tomorrow for my existing construction to end.
>>59484850>>59485189Yeah this is probably the biggest remaining issue. I wish it didn't render one of these special Pokemon useless because I think it will be what's keeping them from making this process easier. I would be very shocked if they made it that simple which sucks because there's a gorzillion combinations possible behind an annoying process. Crush should also be an instant process.
>Have enough resources for the floating pre placed kit, the Pokemon Center, and the fuck huge building.>Too lazy to bring in Pokemon from other areas for construction.Guess I'm playing for 5 minutes a day for the next 3 days as shit builds.
>>59485216the middle ground ive imagined is at least make it so theres a pokemon in every area that knows how to paint so you at least dont have to constantly area hop to where smearguru is then bring him along, i imagined it as a questline where you find students for smearguru to mentor and bring them all to him and he teaches them all how to paint. just that would be infinitely less annoying to me, without rendering smearguru useless either
>>59485189>>59485216My OC smearguru too important, please understand
>>59485230I was hoping that Bruxish would be a paint pokemon
>>59484842Thank FUCKIt also seems to misfire less. I always used to get the magnet rise cancel prompt popping up ages after I'd let go of the run button when I didn't actually press it but after this I've never once accidentally quit out of magnet form.
I love that they added a rest place in the mouth, so good
>>59485221The big thing only takes an hour.
The Ocean Temple music when you go talk to Manaphy is so Zelda coded. Not the first time I’ve swore this game sampled Zelda music either.
>>59485384I get a lot of Donkey Kong Country vibes from the night theme for the town.
Love the night music for Bubbly Basin
I was about to go into this thread and ask, "Wait, how am I supposed to get Smeargle into Bubbly Basin?" but then I just talked to him and the game gave me the answer. I love this game so much.
>>59485488it's weird how Tinkmaster is also cool with sinking like a rock to the bottom of the ocean.
>Trash Can is functional nowFinally, no more dumping items off of Sparkling Skylands
Is there a cloud island that has gold teeth? Just wanna take a photo and print it.
>>59485793yes >Official /vp/ islandTQDJ D9RMWF2TQJ
>>59485799Thanks anon
>>59485799Can’t believe we’re still using my island, and that 4chan hasn’t had a random person destroy it.
>>59484643>I thought Mareanie gives you the recipe during the pearl questline?Can confirm, that is what happened. I just hadn't gotten to that point yet. Starmie has moved in now.
>>59484738Yeah, a backpack update in particular is sorely needed. It's still way too easy to fill it up. And let's be real, this is not a hard game that requires ballbusting inventory management.
where do i get the bottled ship and sparkling jewelry recipes
>>59486403They seem to be random dropsYou're better off just printing extras to make habitats
No new pokopian forms? really?
>>59486451For as much as they were marketed, they were really underused.
The last few weeks have been really shitty for me and I could use a comfy, relaxed game. Should I just bite the bullet and get Pokopia or wait to see if it goes on sale?
>there's deep sea bits with no lightNOOOO, my thalassaphobia....It's not that bad actually but it did spook me a little
>>59486556
>>59486567That's from Subnautica right? I could probably stomach it but it would make me uncomfortable. However I would absolutely shit my pants if I played it in VR. No chance in hell.Anyway, holy fuck they finally added horizontal window panes. The game is fucking saved.
>>59486590Yeah, but that guy won't bug you unless you bug him. The more aggressive big guy is just out for blood and can glitch into living in your starting zone so everyone remember him instead. It's not too bad once you know what to expect but your first few encounters will be spooky. Fun game. Dunno how VR is, I played it when full release came out.
Paypiggies, how’s the DLC so far? Is it worth biting the bullet for? I’m probably buying the expansion pass anyways, but I was thinking if waiting until the rest of the waves were added so I have something to sink my autism into and not get dripfed updates for a year like how Capcom handled MH Wilds
>>59486631I’m really enjoying it. Only issue I’ve had so far is that it added no room to dream islands, so can’t do anything underwater on an established one.
>>59486631Did you like the game? Would you like to play it more? Then buy the DLC
>>59486451>pokopian formskys
>>59486631id say its worth it if you want another town to build up and exclusively that (or if theres a pokemon you want from it) if youre buying it expecting a bunch of storyline or whatever youll be very disappointed. the basin is a cool town though, and has some cool new blocks/furniture, but its not any bigger than any other town in the game, so take it at that, but there are 2 more parts to the dlc coming anyway
>>59486672Basin feels bigger than the others. It might be because there is more depth and more to do with the depth.
>>59486631Get subnautica instead :)
Is this fucking new or have I been a retard the whole goddamn time??
>>59486831It's new and it's spectacularSomeone on the dev team finally tried playing the game
>>59486838Oh thank fuck, I would've crucified myself if this option was available the whole time
What's with the weird Chinese looking buildings in Bubbly Basin? Where those also in Cerulean City in Let's Go Pee?
>>59486838Now they just need to remove the confirmation pop up for the handy bag, give us faster destruction for magnemite, and let us paint when creating blocks/items
>>59486871Creative liberties, just like the general layouts of the towns what with extra buildings like the abandoned pool and underground nightclub.
>>59486631If you're the type to fully build up every town and get every Pokemon then yes, as someone who just does the large objectives, it's not worth it.
There is a stone a single tile out of bounds underwater in Withered Wastelands and the game won't let me pick it up. I hate this game.
>>59487101I'd bet that Withered Wasteland's border will expand in the 3rd part of the DLC to add a new town gateYou can get your rock in... January maybe
Are there any marine chests sitting around in Basin? I need one to make Frillish’s habitat. And I’m sure I’m going to realize I have one in my inventory or a chest about 10 minutes after this post is made.
>>59487564I got the recipe to make them after I finished building the shrine.
>>59487564I think you get it after reaching a certain amount of Pokemon.
>>59487568>>59487588Yep, had the recipe. Knew I had seen it in a menu somewhere earlier.
I've managed to get almost every in Basin without time traveling (even phione)The only one I'm missing is female jellicentI am really hoping this doesn't turn into a plusle/minun spawn situation
I tried bringing suicune to the basin and she's stuck walking around on top of the water lol
>>59487703That is hilarious, and kind of lore accurate.Also, fuck Pincurchin. Went to move it across the map, it makes Slowpoke and Torkoal look fast. Push it was so much faster.
I got an idea for a house I want to build for the DLC area but it needs clear blocks. What works best
Are there any new DLC abilities that make building easier?
Early dev video came out, pretty cool.
>>59487791OK, my idea does work. It will probably need a bit more work to not look like shit however. Doesn't help that the glass panes take up the entire square despite being thin
>>59480881weird thing that happened to me that might happen to everyone idk, when you finish the dlc story make sure that popplio didnt randomly move back to bleak beach for some reason lol
/vp/ island now has DLC mon starmie doll is at the doll area
>>59487951>Even the early alpha vertical slice has better graphics than GF's slop
>that hidden Ditto basement near the bikeshopKino...
>>59488581Just found that earlier. I like how much stuff is hidden under big sand piles, it's what Rocky Ridges SHOULD have done with the ash.
WHERE'S THE YELLOW SHELLOS WHERE IS IT!?!?
>>59486631I'm enjoying it, but I'd only recommend it to the hardcore Pokopia fans. The lack of alt design pokemon and story beats mean the best part of it is simply the new town and grass to add to your inventory. That said, I just got the Totodile and Chinchou line discovered and now I'm figuring out what portion of the city I want to have them hang out in. I'm thinking the Totodile line will occupy the old cafe near pic related, and I'll put the Chinchou line underneath the water wheel directly to it's left.
>>59488592Yeah pretty much. Clearing up the sand feels much less tedious than the ash cause you actually unearth some nice stuff
>Pokemon with Polish can clean mirrorsOkay, but what does that actually do?
>>59485189I could tolerate the smeargle paint system more if he had his own inventory where we could have him hold all the paintI hate having to completely micromanage my inventory to hold all the different colors just for one building project
>>59488423Anon, that alpha build is Game Freak. It was developed as a proof of concept before Ohmori asked TPC about what studios could work.
>You can finally make your own comfort level higherHell fucking yeahAlways bothered me how you couldn't influence that
>>59489020No, you always could, it's just weird and works differently than other Pokemon
>>59489020lol that's been in since the startIt just takes a ton of furniture
>>59489035>>59489168Really? I've literally never seen that popup with comfort level changing, and I made tons of different houses for me. I feel like it was always on average too where ever I was. Weird
>>59489259Only prefab houses are big enough to fit all the furniture you need to increase Ditto's comfort level
Sent Manaphy to work in the Pokemon Center and he decided to be a supervisor.
>>59489293Oooh that explains it. I fucking hate prefabs, fuck loading screens, plus they look out of place next to block structures, pisses me off
I bought the lab kit in the basin and have no idea where to place it that doesn't involve knocking down one of half built structures.
>>59489509The map extends pretty farJust dig out an area on the outskirts of town
>>59489546Found out it can be in the "air" so building it next to nugget bridge.
Getting high to play vidya.
>>59482555Pokopia seems to just be an amalgamation, similar to Pokemon Masters, since while the locations and gym leader outfits are all based on Let's Go, Red, Blue and Leaf's are FRLG, also the fact Leaf exist at all, HGSS' Ethan, Lyra and Silver are here, but the records also show Crystal's Kris exist alsoPokopia takes the most from Let's Go, but it doesn't seem to be 1 to 1 the Let's Go universe but it would be extremely funny if it was singled out as the universe that got fucking destroyed
>>59489850>DUDE, WEEZ LOLPathetic, get it together man.Also I hate that the submarine is just one of the smaller prefabs instead of something more interesting.
Finally started playing the DLC. It's fine, didn't expect it to be Chinese is all.
I discovered Feraligatr on the /vp/ cloud island!! Now he will always say he's a friend of Poop :)
>>59490923It's a reference to the myth of the Dragon Palace, which is basically the Japanese version of AtlantisThe palace is usually depicted in a more imperial style, which looks more Chinese than later Japanese architecture
>>59490930How do you get the /vp/ Cloud Island?
>>59491033go to the pc and select link play. Codes are on the sticky>>59480881
Where's the marine sofa?
Does anyone want to visit each other for the gym/e4 emotes? I've got all the pokes lined up in my pallet town.
Only legendary bird who's den I'm close to affording is Articuno's but I need 50 Ice blocks. I assume the last DLC area is Ice focused so that should help if I don't get lucky with dream dens.
>>59491653There's a whole cave of ice behind the waterfall on the first island in Pallet
>>59491653If you've got pokemetal, take a photo of the ice stalactite things on the island with everything in the OP and 3D print them. I think they drop a few ice blocks each when broken.
>>59489509I built it on the metal platform near the start of the town/gymIt seemed like a fitting place for it.
Haven't played the DLC myself yet so I could be wrong, but I was pretty disappointed to learn they didn't give Primarina a single new animation and it just spams the "fin on mouth" emote while Gardevoir got 75 trillion different bespoke animations in the base gameI hope I'm wrong
Holy shit, you can actually throw things away now instead of tossing them in the Skylands voidGood riddance to all my beach sand
>>59491733>>59491841Thanks boys, Articuno will be my only legendary DLC mandates aside.
>>59491871I just use Beach Sand for trades.
Can you freely take stuff from Cloud Islands without taking it away from other players or is it photos only?
>>59491935*Without being a thief.
I don't think Brionne has has a single thought in its life.https://files.catbox.moe/51sy0t.mp4
>>59491935Photos only, if you take items from cloud islands they either goes into lost and found or the player's "backpack" that is specific to that island.
>Jap island requires the second code that isn't in OPGay
Does Malamar have the same "Auntie" personality type as Venusaur? It calls you sweetie and dear and such in the footage I've seen.
Bwos how do I download a sense of aesthetic and style, I'm a creativelet artcel.
I just started playing this game, and I feel overwhelmed trying to make houses for all my Pokémon, especially when I want to lump all the ones with the same ability together.
>>59492248My sense of style and aesthetics I enjoy are inspired by media I loved across my lifetime. Books I've read, movies I've watched, art I admired, games I immersed myself in. Take some time to consider what you like the look of, and then pour over your inventory to see if you can bring it to life.
>>59492128Yep. She also has a special convo with Mudkip that's kinda cute.
>Dream island with no underground cave system 4 days in a row Aaaaaaa
>>59492476yeah it feels like the odds are stacked against me too i hate it lol, havent got a dream island with a human record on it since the first day
>>59492476>>59492480I think there are only like 3 new human records on the Starmie island so maybe that's why.On a somewhat related note, Starmie's habitat is now done on /vp/ island, so I thing the only difficult Pokemon left are ManaPhione and Dhelmise.
Is it possible to bring Tinkmaster to Bubbly Basin for rebuilding the Pokémon Center?
>>59492928Yeah, Tink and Smear get bubble helmets like you do.
I made a house/clinic for Alomomola, Corsola, and Luvdisc in front of the Gym. Unfortunately for me I cleared most of the area the old-fashioned way before accidentally using Surf and finding out Lapras is amazing at Rock Smash.
>>59492970On a related note, this shit is cursed.
>>59492961That's stupid, especially considering that that apparently doesn't work for Prof Tangrowth, but practical. Although I guess his shape makes a bubble helmet pretty awkward. Thanks for the info
Is there a specific part of the game I should reach before getting the DLC?
>>59492997You have to finish story requirements for Bleak Beach (Environmental level 5).May as well finish the game first though, DLC can't really add story or anything so it's just an excuse to decorate more shit so depends how much you love that for value.
I really like how many hidden spaces there are on this map. Just found that lab/submarine with the metal walls, in the trench. Cool shit
Got Tinkaton working on Zapdos's Power Plant then that's probably it until the last town releases.
>>59492979I think it'd be hilarious if instead they trapped Prof Tangrowth in a giant bubble so all he could do was roll around.
Starmie Doll island music is oozing with Pokemon Stadium 2 vibes. What're we thinking, Hajime Wakai as guest composer? Or just coincidence
>>59491862Just found her, she does some other things but when speaking she really does spam that emote
Day 533 of saying that Arcanine in this game is a myth
>>59492971im sry but literally just image related
>>59492970Wait, Lapras can Rock Smash?
>>59494142Yeah, drink a smoothie and you can Surf underwater and use Rock Smash as Lapras. It destroys a 2x2x2 cube by default but can be charged up to 3 levels to do 2x2x3, 2x2x4, and 2x2x5 pillars.
Do NOT mess with sucking up water in underwater houses. I fucked with it in one of the houses I built and it's impossible to unfuck it without demolishing the entire thing.
If I hate Minecraft will I still be able to enjoy this game?
>>59494464I am also a minecraft hater and enjoy this game very much. The pokemon are not ugly blocks and there are many other items that also aren't ugly blocks.
>>59494467That's fair, okay.
>>59494464Yeah they're really not that similar. There's actually stuff to do and it's not an endlessly empty open world.
fuck i missed launch day, busy playing other gamesdid they add anything mechanically new in part 1?
>>59495686Diving is the big thing and allows you to visit underwater areas everywhere.
>>59495686Diving, and lots of QoL updates
>>59494201Just don’t suck up water that is more than two blocks deep, you are likely to permanently fuck up the water levels.
Can Smearguru not move to Basin permanently? I get no prompt when I'm in a house or habitat with him.
I have been trading Sand for Pokemetal In the Pokemon Center so I guess I'll grind Dragonite's doll for a bit each day for awhile as DLC part 2 prep.
>>59496600Why is this prep for DLC 2? Was something more announced other than cosmetics?
>>59496604Bad communication, I meant the second DLC down.
>>59496638Ah okay, thought there might have been a chance we found out what it takes to craft cosmetics already.
>you recover PP very, VERY slowly when you sitUseless but soulful
So uh.... did they actually think to let Kyogre spawn in the sunken city or is he cucked for being too big
Crawdaubt seems completely mesmerized by the entrance to the tunnel to the Pokémon Center for me. I’ve also apparently bought and misplaced the extra PokéMart kit.
Is ot better to make those "premade" huts/burrows with a tiny area inside or make actual block houses? I don't really like the huts much.
>>59497342Whatever you prefer really. I personally can't stand the den/hut/cottage/house kits, they look too out of place in their blocky environment and the loading screens piss me off. Plus they're annoying to decorate since you need separate items and recipes for walls and shit, and the larger ones have an absurd amount of space you need to fill with random crap.The "pre-fab" kits that make block houses are pretty all right though, albeit some of them are too small. I usually just build them myself and make them bigger. The nice thing about those kits is that you don't need to paint a bunch of blocks if you want to build houses in the exact same style as the ruins of the houses that are already in the area.
>>59497662That's what I thought too, will eventually demolish them and build real houses, thanks!
Neat
Were you always able to do the succ while transformed as Graveler and shit or is that new?
>>59498881New as part of the update.
>>59499130Is it dlc only? I haven't played for a while.
>>59499252Don’t believe it is.
So Jellicent is definitely more of the same hardcoded bullshit like Plusle/Minun, Gastrodon, and Tatsugiri were in the base game, right? Male Jellicent is the only one I'm still missing even with giving Mosslax spicy food every day.
>>59499405Same, I'm only missing the female form for the full dex
>>59499524Missing male form, Starmie (just found the last ball tonight), and I’m assuming Phione is in the DLC as well.
Is the explosive spicy hamburger steak equal to or better than the vibrant steak?
Were you always able to find habitat listings for Pokemon not in the current area you’re in? Just found one for Beldum in the DLC area
Thoughts on Portal Pod?
>>59500033It's basically a doubling of Ditto's storage. Insanely useful but the guys who kept bitching about shared storage probably didn't get what they wanted.
Sorry to ask but I can't test it myself, can jirachi event be played if you change your console's date? I'm pretty afraid of missing next event and jirachi event required to be online once it started, so I'm worried latest events can't be forced through time travel.
Bubbly Basin is bigger than all the other areas, or am I just imagining it?
>>59500498Yes
>>59500530You're imagining it. It just makes excellent use of being fully 3 dimensional so it feels bigger.
>>59500530Imagining it.Skylands are at least twice as big.
How do the event Pokemon work? I did the Hoppip and Feebas family while it was live, and I forwarded my clock and discovered the Sableye one by accident. But now there's a Jirachi one I missed while I took a break and some people saying you can still get it if you just mess with your Switch's time. But is that going to be a permanent thing? Like, can people in 2028 still get the Hoppip line? Or will those mons still spawn in if you go to a Virtual Islands and buy the event items then place them in your world? Do we know if they're going to allow for that at all?
>>59500033Love it, now I don't need that fat fuck Swalot to follow me everywhere and consistently get stuck on some bullshit.
>>59500563Thank you!
If they aren't going to cut the annoying smeargle paint system they should at least give smeargle his own inventory where you can store your paints so you don't have to waste 8 inventory slots each time you're thinking of painting something.
>>59500997You don't just have Gulpin follow you everywhere carrying all the paints?
Mew stamp on /vp/ island today.
>pokemon still have no stairs pathing while indoorsman, i was really hoping they would fix thisso many interior designs i want to make with elevations and stairs, but for some reason indoors pokemon just forget how to path up stairs
>>59501344 You need to have clearance overhead by like 2 or 3 blocks kind of like how some pokemon can't enter building if it's only 1 block wide.
>>59499524Male one showed up for me today, so whatever the bullshit is, it seems to be more forgiving than it was in the base game.>>59499654Phione is on the new Dream Island.
Why does the aqua cottage kit require so much space for how small the actual structure is? Feels like it would make more sense to build it in an open area and then move it brick by brick to where you actually want it.
>>59501066Thanks for the heads up!
