Support NeoGAF

[Finale Fireworker]

If you have prime, make sure to chat with them and tell them you didn't get the delivery they promised. They generally give you +1 month of prime extension free

I remember when Prime was still new I was given a 30-Day free trial. I ordered something on Amazon that I could have gotten nearby because I wanted to test the convenience of release-day delivery. It ended up not coming on release day.

So I started a customer support chat and asked what they would do to compensate me and they said nothing because it was a free trial and I didn't pay anything for the free expedited shipping. I said I may not have paid for it, but I chose Amazon because I was promised a particular level of service and I did not receive it. They said there was nothing to compensate me for.

And I'm not dumb - I know that I didn't pay for it. I wasn't asking for a refund, but I was hoping they would extend my free trial. I was mad and ended up canceling it and didn't get Amazon Prime again for several years. All my stuff has been delivered on time since then, but whenever I hear about people having problems with "guaranteed delivery dates," I remember how mad I was.

It's one thing to not get something when you are expecting it. But it's worse when you could drive thirty minutes and get that same thing yourself. But with how prevalent Amazon has become, it's getting harder to do that, so maybe you just always have to deal with it.

Anyone know when pokepelago opens up?

 

[Forkball]

There is a booth in your default Festival Plaza that will give you three level ups for 12 FC total, which is very easy to get. Now I have a level 17 Rowlett on Route 2. Which also proves that if you can't evolve your Pokemon via this method when in Festival Plaza, so don't do what I just did.

 

[DragonKnight]

You can find a thunderstone on Akala off Route 8

Spoiler

Behind the Fossil Restoration Center trailer

You can also buy them at the end of Akala in Konikoni town for 3k

Thx!. Now just need to know where to get thunderbolt TM

 

[Seil]

Anyone know when pokepelago opens up?

After Kiawe's trial (second trial on Akala)

Thx!. Now just need to know where to get thunderbolt TM

That's not until postgame unfortunately.

 

[Aaronrules380]

After Kiawe's trial (second trial on Akala)

Thanks

 

[Seil]

Thanks

Note that it won't be announced to you, it'll just pop up in your menu. There's an NPC a bit later that can tell you that it's there but lol.

 

[Taco_Human]

Still waiting for amazon to deliver it to me. I just hope before I have work so I can play it there.

 

[Busaiku]

Bah, after 2 hours, only 3 female Popplio, none Modest.
Guess I gotta breed after all...

Yeah I agree, they should have extended the trial -- maybe you got a bad rep.

That being said, Amazon prime is great for video games for the discount (20% i think). And, as I just got emailed, my copy was just delivered to my house. So, that's pretty quick.


Now to just get through the workday....

When can you change your hair color from the first original 3 hairstyles? Hoping I didn't miss a secret button or something to change the hair color.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Uh is this official art

it looks like those PGL art

 

[Seil]

PGL art, yes.

You can change hair color and style in the salon once you reach Hau'oli City.

 

[Boss Doggie]

wow, that's a rather "come hither" look

 

[GoldStarz]

Hey! I've got my copy of Pokemon Moon now, but I still don't have anyone who's willing to trade a female Mimikyu egg for my starter (or another Pokemon). I'd really like to use Mimikyu as my ace, so if anyone is willing to trade, please send me a PM!!

 

[DryvBy]

Those steelbooks have jumped in price I see. Whew. And mine got cancelled last week when applying a credit. Oh well.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Salazzle looks amazing in game.

 

[Loop Fruit]

Help! Do I get the lime green amazon 3ds or the black pokemon one?

 

[Menitta]

Edit:nvm

 

[Forkball]

Is there seriously no in game friends list? Or is it some upgrade later? WHO IS ONLINE

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Albeit a little creepy.


yo wtf!?? I had like a week ahead of launch and y'all are on the second island by launch day!!!

Hardcore man, hardcore

 

[Shadow Broker]

Hey, I sent you a PM. I'm logged on.

 

[Kinsei]

Mudbray is found at the ranch, right?

I've already put in over 10 hours. Someone send help.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Albeit a little creepy.

well she is the first canonical pokemon meant to look seductive, so there's that

 

[bizzarewars]

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD

No, like, seriously. This goes beyond what a Pokemon game typically is. I love Pokemon but I'd never typically consider a Pokemon game for GOTY, but this one is a definite contender.

 

[Sou Da]

Smeargle has a super effective attack on your starter.

Legit shook. AI is actually pretty cool, especially on Set.

 

[Loop Fruit]

Does this game have multiple save files?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Does this game have multiple save files?

No

 

[Loop Fruit]

No

damn

 

[Berordn]

Does this game have multiple save files?

No, and I wouldn't expect that to change for as long as they can get away with it.

 

[mjc]

For those who've got some hours in, how's the difficulty?

 

[supergiz]

After every battle, i see care is possible below. Do I need to care for my pokemon after every single battle? Seems a bit excessive.

 

[Aaronrules380]

No

 

[Seil]

After every battle, i see care is possible below. Do I need to care for my pokemon after every single battle? Seems a bit excessive.

No. It's just there to make it quickly accessible for people who want to. You don't ever have to go into refresh if you don't want to (Unless you want a Sylveon). But you can cure status conditions in it, so some people may want to be able to hit a button to go straight there after a fight.

 

[PadWarrior]

Wow they weren't kidding takes forever to get your starter lol

 

[Forkball]

The teacher KO'd both my Rowlett and Munchlax. I was not prepared for that at all.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

How does the care system work? I can't seem to get it to do anything useful. Do I just drag each icon onto the pokemon? I don't get it...

 

[ViciousDS]

whats the best starter? The grass type was considered crap in the long run correct?

Think everyone chose the water one

 

[Puruzi]

Popplio besto

 

[Wiz]

EXP share on or nah?

I left it on to train up my Grubbin, but I'm turning it off now.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Aesthetics wise the grass starter is the one people usually rate the best. Unfortunately it's stats are pretty garbage for the grass/ghost typing, considering the number of common weaknesses.

I think the water starter has the best stats and move set wise however.

I think you have it a bit backwards.

 

[PadWarrior]

Rowlet male and rash nature. Not bad.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Ingame they're all good.

Comp, too early to say.

 

[Maintenance]

Decided to go full Alola for my Sun run. Team will be: Rowlet, Litten, Stufful, Jangmo-o, Togedemaru, maybe Rockruff again? I can't find 6 gen 7 pokémon that I like, sigh.

 

[ViciousDS]

I think you have it a bit backwards.

we saw the grass finals stats.....it didn't look too good


whatever, I don't play comp.....so I'll just grab grass

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

You just feed 'em and rub em.. After certain battles you can heal status ailments.

However, a happy Pokemon gets a serious boost in EXP.. Care for the ones you want to raise fast.


Thanks to Gridlock, I have all the starters.. Now to get my hands on the Johto starters.

 

[Busaiku]

For some reason, I get kicked offline when playing.

 

[DragonKnight]

Game get!

Sun, btw.

 

[Akoi]

Yay, just picked up my copy from target this morning and they price matched amazons price! Let's do this!
