I had to wait till 4:30 today. Deliveries never take this long, there must have been lots of people getting deliveries today. This is the last time I trust launch day deliveries from amazon.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

There's putting the game on Set in the options menu and not playing with the EXP share and not using items in battle. It'll probably be sufficient for a decent challenge on the first run without going for a full nuzlocke.

Might consider that. I'm definitely not quite feeling invested enough for a full Nuzlocke.

What's the best nature for Decidueye? I'm planning to get Rowlet as my starter.

Seems like it learns better physical moves than special, though you could go mixed if you really want. Jolly is probably ideal.

 

[Milijango]

What's the best nature for Decidueye? I'm planning to get Rowlet as my starter.

Definitely Adamant, maybe Jolly, but personally I'd be okay with anything that increased attack or decreased special attack in exchange for something else.

 

[ryan13ts]

Does anyone know the trainers default names? I ALWAYS use the trainers default names, starting with Gen III when they started giving them real names. I've even held off playing until I find out the names for sure.

I really, really hope it's not 'Sun' and 'Moon', as that's so meh and I thought they did away with naming them after the game starting with Gen III.

 

[Cipher Peon]

Just out of curiosity, what kind of public transportation do you take that only allows one hand to be free? Or is it so packed that you always have to stand and hold a rail?

The rail, yes!
The subway gets ULTRA packed always and sometimes I like playing Pokemon on the go!

 

[Sigismundo]

Adamant or Jolly. Its level up movepool is primarily physical moves.

They don't have ones, not yet at least. Bulbapedia just lists them as ???.

No proper official names yet to my knowledge

 

[Totakeke]

...anyone know how to reset the game to start anew?

 

[Busaiku]

Name Rater's in Heahea City, the first city on Akala, the second island.

Darn it, too far.

 

[MrCookiepants]

The bugs this gen are godlike from a design perspective.

All of them.

 

[Carl7]

Impish Munchlax, I think I got lucky.

 

[Seil]

UP + B + X on the title screen I believe.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Modest Rowlett, feels bad man.

 

[papertoonz]

holy shit i just found a shiny lillipup

Oh, on the title screen, that works, thanks.

 

[Neoleo2143]

why so lucky?

 

[Matt Attack]

Took me like 20 resets, but I finally got a female Popplio- and it's Modest! Wasn't sure if I was going to reset for nature or not, but looks like I don't need to worry about it.

 

[Empty Space]

Modest Rowlett, feels bad man.

Is Decidueye more of a physical attacker then?

 

[papertoonz]

why so lucky?

this is like my first ever shiny like omg

mixed last i checked

 

[Delio]

So what would be a good nature for Grubbin? I dont have the game yet lol but I almost leaned Modest but considering it's going physical for most of the game im thinking maybe Quiet?

 

[pariah164]

this is like my first every shiny like omg

So, like... are shinies just easier to find this gen?

 

[Teknoman]

New regions knock it out of the park with night time town variations. Man so nice!

 

[Milijango]

The bugs this gen are godlike from a design perspective.

All of them.

Bug type had a Renaissance in Gen V with incredible Pokemon like Galvantula and Volcarona and has been awesome since.

Is Decidueye more of a physical attacker then?

Mixed stats, but so few useful special moves that it's worth dumping Special attack.

 

[ryan13ts]

Gah, lame. Now I have to make random name, which I absolutely hate.

Not being able to use a character's proper name, especially in a game like this when it's used a lot, annoys the living fuck out of me and kind of takes me out of a game. I look at it being their adventure and not mine (Which is also why I NEVER use my own name when character naming is available). I've been this way since I was a little kid.

Yeah, I'm fucking weird.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Is Spinarak only at night and Ladyba only during the day on route 1? It switched to night time and I feel like I can't seem to find a Ledyba.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Ah 10 more minutes in the cold :x

 

[TheOGB]

There's only one or two other encounter songs in the rest of the game. Sorry to break it to you, it kinda sucks :/

What.

 

[Seil]

Mixed stats but a clearly better physical movepool

 

[Delio]

All of them.

Bugs have been amazing design wise for a while. Galvantula and Scolipede have been my favorites for a while but the bugs from this gen have really caught up.

Good to know! Thanks!

 

[MrJohnSherry]

Okay guys, I need help. I haven't played a Pokemon game since HGSS, so I am completely feeling overwhelmed right now. I want to get into the meta game but have no idea about "shiny" Pokemon or IVs. I am from the EU though so I have some free time before Ninty grant us worthy! Can someone point me in the way of a guide?

Thanks!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Remind me affection in Pokemon amie/brushing thing does not equal happiness right? I got a low level pichu and Im hoping that by just leveling him up and walking around with him that he'll eventually turn into a Pikachu.

Right. The only evolution that uses Affection (From Amie and Refresh) is Sylveon.

 

[Beats]

Well, managed to catch a Chikorita early on thanks to the Island Scan.

 

[Lemrik]

Sorry if already asked, but is it compatible with the Poke-bank? Thanks!

 

[Type2]

Getting my copy of Moon from Amazon tomorrow. I havent been keeping up with coverage so im extra excited about going in blind for this one.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Sorry if already asked, but is it compatible with the Poke-bank? Thanks!

not until next year

 

[pariah164]

Not till January, IIRC.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Dammit.

 

[Owari]

Dudes. I traded in Okami-Den, Chrono Trigger (RIP), Kingdom Hearts DS and Sonic Lost World, got like $60 toward S&M. Now I dunno what starter to pick!

I was not expecting to run into a wild Abra in the first city. Of course it managed to break out of the ultra ball and teleport away.

I mean, both of these things have existed in Pokemon for a looooooooong tie.

Shiny Pokemon are purely aesthetically different and extremely rare.

IVs are hidden values that influence stats and the type of Hidden Power your pokemon uses. But this Gen introduced Hyper Training which changes your Pokemons stats to match having perfect IVs so you only really need to worry about the Hidden Power type if you're running it.

I've been in that spot for ages trying to get a Modest Abra w/ Synchronize. It'll make getting good natures a cinch.

You could just breed a set of synchro Abras on the second island.

 

[RomanceDawn]

So I sent my Poplio to a friend now I'm going to restart for Litten. How in the world do I erase my old file?!

 

[Totakeke]

Is a quiet Popplio good enough? I know it's slow but then everything this gen seems slow so maybe not that slow?
