Sand staryu EditionF.A.QComplete list of Pokémon herehttps://www.serebii.net/pokemonpokopia/availablepokemon.shtml>Can I have more than one world in the same console?Yes. You can have different saves for each profile. It's not like AC.>What about cloud saves?Yes. Unlike every other Pokémon game, this one does support cloud saves.>Does it feature a real time clock? 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. If you've played DQ Builders 2, you know what you're getting into.>Combat? Breakable tools?No combat, no breakable tools. There's a stamina system in place, but it's very easy to manage.>Should I start building a mega project or finish the story?FINISH THE STORY! Or, at the very least, complete Beach and Ridges.>Expansion Pass DLC infohttps://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/dive-deep-with-the-pokemon-pokopia-expansion-pass-dlc>6DXL PD6FIsland made by a random Japanese person with one of every item and habitat.

Ever since the update I've been getting a weird glitch where pokemon are too tired to follow me even though I haven't interacted with them at all yet that day
What is this area here supposed to be? Some kind of open air stage?
>>59507772Probably. Maybe the area is supposed to be a park and concert stage, it just looks tiny because EVERYTHING looks too small in this game.
Oh shit I didn't know that the Sand Bed was an actual bed. I thought it was a pun.
>>59507772Yeah, I assumed it was a little concert area and placed my Primarina and Brionne habitats there.
>>59507840cute
>buried relics can still explode under waterWhat the fuck
Are the whirpool spots supposed to take several minutes to spawn in every day or is it just more of the same inept coding from GF?
Is everyone getting over 100 scales per day or is it just spawning a ton on the new dream island?
>>59509969New island only. I had to visit one of the old islands for gold ore the first 2 days of the event and only got about 30 to 40 scales each time.
>>59509607That pissed me off so much. They couldn't even like, change your breath to bubbles like they did for crops
Honest question, anyone else feel like the DLC was lackluster?Almost nothing to do in Bubbly Basin. You just build the temple and thats it. Only a single quest that required you to "explore", which was just finding Popplio's 3 friends. Then you just build the temple right away. Nothing at in the dark deepsea area outside of getting the habitat data on Wugtrio. Same with Misty's Gym solely being there to tell you about Starmie's habitat. You get Manaphy to spawn, and thats it, there's nothing tied to her, no real scene unlike the main story legendaries. You can essentially "beat" the DLC in less than 30 minutes if the game didn't force you to wait to build the Sharpedo house and the temple. Not a single pokemon gives you a quest outside of Popplio, Corphish and the Professor.
>>59510520The deepsea areas are a nice idea but needing to have a lampion or other light source every few steps kills any potential. Maybe if they gave off light when you held them instead of having to place them down, or if Lanturn was just "Peakychu but wet" and could light it all for like an hour or something.Unrelated note, I didn't realize the wrecked chests could drop Pokemetal when you break them.
>>59510520I like it, but I didn’t think the story in the base game was particularly notable either. I just like building stuff and finding new mons, and the DLC is more of that.
My Switch 2 and copy of Pokopia should arrive in a few days. I'm very excited to play this game!
THE SHEERFUCKINGAUDACITY
Swampert and Feraligatr’s special conversation about growing more and describing their Megas.[!spoiler] one of them is in for disappointment.
This photo was a pain to get, and when they were all up here Leafeon ran off yet again as I was getting into position. Just like real cats.
>>59510520Yes, the DLC was lackluster just for not having a pokemon variant desu. If there was one or two more small story beats to bubbly basin, it would feel a little better. I liked the gym hunt with the treasure maps. I like having a place to explore all the new diving mechanics. Love the music and furniture.
I finally started the game this weekend and I've been enjoying it a lot. Idk if I have the patience to build anything crazy but just tidying things up a bit is fun.
>>59510520I wish the story was one or two quests longer.
>>59513309nice anon
I'm going to for 100% item completion. I decided to get all the RNG cancer out of the way first, and I've registered all the human records, smalls relics, and large sunken relics. Still grinding out original large relics since you actually have to appraise them for them to count in the menu. One thing I'm curious about: CDs. I don't really care about having them them in my possession, but I will need them registered in the collection. If I traveled to someone's island or town and temporarily picked them up (since they can't be copied), would that register them in my collection? I would love to do anything other than continue to mindlessly farm glowing spots after this relic hunt, so getting cheesy with CD completion sounds awesome.
Starmie island has more clay than anyone could ever reasonably use, there are still at least 3 more sources of it on today's /vp/ Starmie.
>>59514096>Starmie island has more clay than anyone could ever reasonably useNOBODY TELL THE COUNTRYBALLS THAT
New announcement at this upcoming event on Friday. Probably the next event Pokemon.
>>59514731What event?
>>59514786Might actually be NEXT Friday instead of this one. Confused if it's happening at the event or this preview stream though.
>>59514909Ah, that's interesting. Perhaps we'll get a solid release date for part 2 of the DLC.
>>59514909It is next Friday before the Pokémon World Present is always after the World Finals
All the game is missing is a blueprint mechanic... I have many builds I want to replicate over the map. It cannot be that hard to create.
I'm making an apartment complex for all the Kanto starters (Pikachu, Eevee, Bulba, Char, Squirtle). All the themes for their interiors are pretty obvious, but I have no idea what to do with Eevee. I thought about mostly pop art furniture and artistic items to demonstrate it's "potential"? Should it be a mish-mash of all types of stuff? Gaming, cooking, plants, crystal ball?
>>59510520I don't mind that the story is lackluster. I pivoted hard and started repairing and building shit for hundreds of hours before I finally did Peakychu's "find my family" quest. I want a loooot more items and recipes, though. I also want them to release more synchronized items. So like, having a bunch of PokeMart recipes release at once is cool. But then you get individual items like "Luxury Jewelry" which don't really go with anything else. An item like that should also have make-up items and perfume bottles to go with the theme of "Fancy Pokemon dressing up" and also have things like fancy watch and necklace in a case to go with the theme of "Making a jewlery store".When I hear "200 NEW ITEMS!" and the Pokeball decor takes up like, six of those slots, I get a little disappointed. I like the variants, but you gotta up that item count, man.
>>59516528I agree.Hopefully part 2 of the DLC gives us loads of items and blocks. It's the least they can do if they aren't adding a town.
>>59516528>Pokémon decorating their houses with PokéballsThat's like black people decorating their houses with chains and whips.
>>59516709Yes
>>59516720I was gonna say that it's like Jews decorating their houses with swastikas but I think that comparison would fit Palworld better.
>>59517006
>>59517127Yeah see Pokémon was never that blatant about it, even though Poké Pelago is clearly a tropical forced labor camp and Pokopia is little better.
Can you redo old events?
>>59517199At least in Pokopia they are doing it for other Pokémon instead of people.
What have people been doing with the trench? I'm thinking of just stripping it entirely and reusing the blocks for stuff that I can actually see.
>>59517525I stuck Luvdisc down there since it doesn’t do anything useful, and I just don’t like it.
Playing frlg.ips right before playing Pokopia made the whole game feel more sinister than it needed to>mfw "was that island always there?"
>>59517127Eww
>>59517525Makes for a pretty cool night vibe housing/store strip since the color lighting comes out the most.
I feel like this is missing something, but I don't know what.Aside from performers, anyway.
>>59518542Stripper poles.
>>59518721I wasn't gonna listen, but I realized it was actually a pretty good idea so I evicted Wugtrio and put some down there instead.
>>59518542>>59519189Bubble machine maybe? Surface lights on the stage part instead of spotlights.
>>59519189Now bring in the most muscular Pokémon you've got to be the strippers, because if it's in Bubbly Basin you can call it Fish and Chippendales.
>extending SilphCo elevator into the basement railway before I start building it up into a "subway">during construction find another hidden chamber down thereI love when this game surprises me with stuff like this.>>59518211Oh that is really cool.

Is there a level of friendship beyond great friends? or is when the heart shows up on the pokedex the max?
There are some wrinkles in the game design, but I think this is the best decorative block building game of all time. I like all the modern blocks and I cannot think of a better alternative. The fact that it also has Pokémon-related things is a pleasant extra.
>>59514909joe merrick said it just friday for World Exclusive thing https://x.com/JoeMerrick/status/2089371440818643390
>>59520089Naw, the heart is the max
>>59519236Surface lights did the trick, thank you.>>59519280You're a sick, sick man.
>>59521763This soothes my fujo soul. Too bad Machoke and Machamp can't breathe underwater.
>>59522269fujos don't have souls.
>>59522272Don't talk about my wife like that.
>>59522272>>59522275GRRR
>>59522281was gonna say something like "25% female btw" but I'm not feeling it so I'm just gonna put on Dota and fall asleep.
>>59522292What does that even mean? You got some man boobies? Leg transplant from a woman?
>>59522325
>>59522292let's go BB they're gonna get swept
>>59522333That shouldn't be possible. AAAAA
>>59522341LITTEN, SAVE ME AAAAAAA I'M GOING INSAAAANE
>>59521763>You're a sick, sick man.You have to admit that it's a solid pun.
>You need paid online to use dream islands Frick off
Should i restart my game? I started during launch but dropped it around the second area, vermillion city.Will something special hapoen if i return now or am i better off just doing a new game?
Can I move Feebas into a habitat now or do I have to wait until the event is over?
>>59517432>Can you redo old events?yes check op
>>59522910You can't even access the DLC area until you complete vermillion city, so it's fine.
>>59522959I can't be bothered to muck around with the system clock, I'll just wait.>>59522967And you have to reach environment level 5 to make Manaphy show up and teach you Dive.
>>59523039Also have a free reaction image.
I swear that more than 50% of the sunken relics I appraise end up being the ocean pals rug
The overworld limit is a real bummer. As you expand your towns you watch them go from thriving to dead zone because too many of the Pokemon are being culled. I wonder if there's any chance at all of that being improved in a patch later.
>>59523226You can always put some of them in houses.
>>59523116lol
>>59523202I just keep getting the Windup Inkay.
>>59523248NTA but I want my overworld to be bustling. I've slowly been turning Palette Town into this multi-biome region with a jungle area with an Aztec structure, seatown area, desert area with Great Pyramid, a city with multiple apartments and restaurants, and so forth. Every time I practice building in the other areas, I come back to Palette and work on a big structure. I'm designing individual buildings and areas with specific Pokemon in mind, so it'd be nice if I could at least see them sitting there when I walk over. I'm just wondering why they can't do what PLA did where Pokemon seemed to be pre-loaded and would have the models sit there, disappear when you left a certain distance but keep the memory of the NPC, then load them back in when you were within a certain distance. They don't need to be actively doing stuff all the time when they're off my screen, but I'd like the area to be full in relation to where my character model is.
>>59523323Yeah same. Really unsure why the game can't cull by view distance and instead has a hard limit of like 20ish on very very large maps is kinda crazy. I haven't even expanded into sections of the maps yet because I'm worried about my towns becoming more dead.
>>59523323Look at it this way: it would be weird if all of the NPCs in a Pokémon city are outside and the buildings are all empty, right? And you can still design rooms for specific Pokémon that way.
>>59523408Some of us don't build prefab houses for pokemon.Their homes are still empty under this system.
Finally got around to moving the trapinch line to Palette Town, and Cacnea immediately decided to play with Trapinch.
>>59521648ty
>>59523541Cute...I hope Sandshrew is in the third DLC. Maybe the ice version if it's a snowy area like people are speculating.
>>59523471>Some of us don't build prefab houses for pokemon.There's a stopgap solution right there and you choose not to take it?
>>59523595That's not a solution at all.wtf are you talking about?
>>59523617Let my homies Merriam and Webster take your question.https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stopgap>stopgap>noun>something that serves as a temporary expedient
>>59522916Anyone?
>>59523655Anytime I tell feebas to close up shop he completely disappears and no flying or teleporting pokemon can find him.I think we just have to wait until the even is over.
>>59523655>>59523658When Jirachi was around, I just set my system time like 3 weeks forward, moved it into a home, then corrected the time.It won't fuck up your event, the Pokemon just has a line about helping them out again "like last time"
>>59514909here it is https://x.com/pokemon/status/2090895061475065894
>>59524038That's so underwhelming I'm not sure why they would even bother announcing it
make sure to treat your gators well
>>59524126Because Game Freak has a fetish for disappointing people.
>>59514096actually whereI've been there several times now and never seen a single piece of clay on the ground anywhere, and i need clay
>>59524799Look for the spotted brown block layer under sand, white rock, and star-spotted rock.Sorry for the shitty Youtube shorts screenshot, I already visited a different island today.
>>59524384ok
