The hardest battle I've fought so far was the Ghost Trial I just beat.
Mimikyuu hits so hard, and Haunter is such a jerk with Hypnosis...
Probably would've fared better if I started out with Decidueye, but sheesh, nearly lost my entire team. It's my favorite one so far though, and that was before the unexpected difficulty with the Totem Pokemon.

Glad I turned off the Exp. Share though, pretty much everything I come across is nearly my level.

I was really lukewarm with Rowlet's line in the beginning of the game. But Decidueye has become a mainstay. Love him and redeemed the line for me.

Same, although for me I only disliked Dartrix. Just looked so ugly to me.

I thought I had my Pokémon team perfectly planned out. Each different pokemon covering the others with unique tapings, strengths, and abilities.

Then I came across Mimikyu in game. Screw team planning and cohesivenessee, this Pokémon is just so adorable! @_@

Finished Sun. The mainline is easily my favorite in the whole series. It's amazing what actual effort in story, characters, and presentation does for the game. It isn't perfect at all, but there just some nitpicks I have for it the story. Team Skull is easily the best evil team the series has had. It isn't even close. Difficulty was just right while on Set and turning off exp share for most of the game. When it got a bit too much I turned it on and got up until I no longer needed it.

I absolutely adore my team. Each member has had their shining moment of being a savior or MVP. So many great new ones. Only complaint is that I can't use a Gallade until Bank gets up.

Music was good. Slowdown in battles didn't bother me. I don't mind being guided or linearity if I'm enjoying what is happening and I was enjoying it extremely.

Also one minor spoiler for credits.
That picture of Hau and Lilllie that was taken at the start of the game made me a tad bit emotional. Didn't expect that at all.
Damn this game was good.

Now it's time for the fun of the post game and catching them all.

Stahp, I don't need Mimikyu in this playthrough. D:

Thunder Wave isn't 100 accuracy anymore?



Yes you do. :)

No I don't! (But you convinced me to have it as a brief placeholder...)

And yea, it's 90 accuracy now. And on another note, screw waiting for Pikachu to learn Thunderbolt; I'm sick of how weak it is defensively. Discharge is good enough, I'll use a Heart Scale or something later on I guess.

Will QA for food.
Mimikyu took me a while to find, but was totally worth it. Having basically a free turn every battle allowing me to Swords Dance, was incredible.
 
What are the odds of getting a shiny using the chain method? Has anything been found out yet? My drunk ass spent way too long trying to get a shiny Stufful last night.
 
Kinda disapointed so far...

Trials are lame, I'd rather have good old gyms.

Fuckin "call for help" garbage is ridiculously frustrating when you're trying to catch them all.

Gen 7 mons are rare or uninteresting(struggling to make a full alola team).
 
Just finished 2nd trial on 2nd island, that fucking Hiker had me busting out laughing; so far these trials are way better than gym battles. Oh and my Pikachu did her relationship/friendship abilities again, this time the same "toughing it out so I won't feel sad" but she had 2 v 1 with Totem Pokemon and his ally to which came up with her "in a bit of a pinch and might start to cry." Felt so bad for her but won through in the end. I have to remember to take screenshots of these things but I keep forgetting because I press buttons too fast.

Bruh...

These are my favorite new Pokemon since GSC.

Stufful is so cute, new Muk is fucking sweet, the bandit thing and it's evolution is dope. And to top it off everyone is still making Meowth their little bitch.

oh and Trials > gyms. Way more interesting, more challenging, and gave way more personality to the characters and region.

Catching some things before moving on to the League and I come across a shiny Spinarak! Rash nature with Insomnia. First gen 7 shiny, WOO!
 
Yeah, I'm not feeling Pokemon fatigue at all for this game.

The trials and general set up of the game so far has been worlds above the normal Pokemon formula.

I'll actually complete this one if it keeps this up which will be a nice change of pace.

Ah yeah, got my Araquanid. Adamant nature to boot, meaning as soon as this baby gets a physical Water type move, he's gonna tear shit apart.

Let's check Serebii and see when he learns something decent.

Oh, he learns Liquidation at level 57. Fan-fucking-tastic. At least he'll learn Leech Life soon I guess.

Just got hypno, dex entry says he's extremely dangerous? How so?

If thats the case, its probably not a good idea for the locals to ignore that hypno laughing to itself mischievously, sitting outside of that store on the second island.

How do you think they get prices that cheap. They just hypnotize their suppliers.
 
Despite the slightly rough and hand-holdy first few hours, I am now officially addicted to this game.

Also, I don't wanna evolve Litten D: he's so CUTE

Man, the Ace Trainers don't fuck around in this game. If not for Machop's Revenge, the Ace Trainer on Route 8 would have wiped my whole party. I need to give one of my pokemon a rock type move.

Doesn't he kidnap kids or something?

Fuck YES, finally beat Elite 4 Olivia after who knows how many tries. No doubt that was most number of attempts on any fight yet for me. Was not prepared for rock types at all and my team was mostly physical so it was really fucking hard for me. I love it though, turning around nigh-impossible situations is the absolute best feeling.

This game is fucking awesome.

Played 21 hours this weekend and just received the
ghost z crystal
. I spent a lot of time hunting for hidden abilities, hatching eggs and trying to level up the poke pelago.

Anyone here got a poplio from wonder trade a few hours ago? I sent dozens, many females.
