Would someone mind letting me know how many new Pokemon there are, not counting Alolan forms? I'm waiting for my copy to arrive and I've avoided all the spoilers I could since I find new generations a lot more fun to play blind. But I'd just like to know how many new designs there are.

So I pulled a 180 on the Cry for Help thing. I love how it can chain encounters and lead to ultra rare goodies. Just wish it wasn't 100% rough on me for its introduction.
I also love the fact that I don't feel the game is going out of its way to hold my hand too much. I feel like I'm the master of my own destiny and love how each route feels like I can address it the way I choose.
Also team update~

Flame Body's still in but that's it.
when you're chaining, does it matter if you kill the original Pokémon or the summoned Pokémon?
No, as long as they're the same species. Mareanie and Kangaskhan won't call reinforcements, so you couldn't rely on them to keep the chain going.

Thank you! I am guessing there is no indication on which Pokémon have hidden abilities or perfect IVs until after catching them, is that right?After beating the first trial wild Pokemon have a chance of summoning reinforcements (increased by throwing an Adrenaline orb, available after the fire trial). The summoned Pokemon can be KO'd and another will be summoned in its place. After ~20 KOs the shiny chance increased significantly. You also have a chance to get the Hidden Ability and up to 4 perfect IVs.

No, it doesn't matter. It's better if you kill the original, so you can preserve PP and not have them use struggle.

My favorite addition to the story experience are the side quests on each route. I actually like doing them as they usually are something I'm already completing, or aren't tedious. Like defeat all trainers, collect a certain Pokemon, or do something fun (like find Stuffuls!).
I especially like the trainer one with the trial guides. Sometimes you get a TM for your trouble, but it encourages exploring the route and finding every NPC.

You can't check IVs until you've caught them, but you can use Skill Swap to check abilities. Sylveon learns it at level 25 and is really easy to get (pretty tanky for those long chains too).
If you want to control nature you can have a Synchronize Pokemon out when the help gets called.
Noooo

Hatch times seem to have been reduced significantly to compensate, at least.

PSA: Don't bother with Abra in the early game. Once evolved into Kadabra, it doesn't learn an attack move until level 21. I evolved mine and it learned Kinesis instead of confusion. Apparently it learns psybeam at level 21, but I might as well be using a different pokemon instead of trying to raise an evolved pokemon to level 21 with it not contributing anything to the team.

You can teach it Charge Beam which is a very early TM. Not ideal but not useless.
It actually appears to be a bug, where the "level 0" i.e. evolution move replaces the move learned via level up on a Pokemon that naturally learns very few moves.

Got a shiny Rowlet on my very first playthrough! I've never been this lucky, so I thought I'd just come in here and brag, haha. No, but seriously, what better way to start a new pokemon generation? So pumped.

Is there place to trade in big/tiny mushrooms, or am I safe to sell it? I think I remember there being a place to trade them in for something in X/Y?

Yeah, I guess it's technically not completely useless, but but a 10pp electric attack on my psychic pokemon is totally not ideal as you said.

That fight has ways to beat all three starters.Seeing all these YouTubers making Nozlocke runs of this blind... I wonder how many will get destroyed by the first Captain fight. Especially if they choose Rowlet.

Is there any particular reason not to use Nuzzle over Thunder Wave for anything that has access to the former, now that the latter has had accuracy nerfed?
I've definitely overleveled by spending a bit of extra time in each route searching for stuff. Seems like it's got a bit of a buffer for it, with the kahuna battles being pretty hardcore either way, but I ended up boxing my main team for a while to get some secondaries up to par. I also refuse to turn off the XP share, just because I like letting new catches in on the fun.
I'm not the only one that constantly feels that they're over-leveled right? Don't feel like turning exp share off though. That seems too much hassle instead to level pokemon with no skillsets.

I've kept exp share off, turned the battle mode to set, and have evenly trained 6 pokemon, and I have been kept on my toes each battle. I'm constantly at or one level below for each main battle (havent done any grinding; trained up new pokemon by battling trainers), with the first grand trial actually making me use like 4 revives to barely clutch it out lol. Highly recommend these setting for people who are looking for a challenge

To be fair there was never any reason to use Nuzzle over Thunder Wave since it also did damage.
I just returned from dinner. Is this offer still open?I can give you one if you want? It's female too.

Yeah, from what I have heard it's a bug so Game Freak will need to patch that.
The question is are they aware of it?

That's what I figured, just making sure there wasn't some weird secondary effect I was forgetting.
