Pokémon Sun & Moon |OT| Ultra Beasts and where to find them

Package is out for delivery.

I am at work for another 90m.

I am willing this package to be at my doorstop when I get home. 2016 fucking owes me this.
 
Oh wow, I only found out after watching a streamer something that I wondered for a long while after finishing the game.

End game SPOILERS:


That one house where the father tells you the son ran away is actually a daughter, and it's the Elite Four flying specialist. I was like "where the hell did this woman came from".
 
Sooo, any ideas of what the shiny rarity is like now?

Because only an hour and a half into the game, just caught a shiny Slowpoke on route 1...

There's someone in the game that tells you there's around a 1 in 4000 chance of getting a Shiny. So, same as the previous gen.
 
It's here!

So far it seems only can brush off dirt on pokemon and stuff like that. Not sure how it helps though. You drag and then rub it on the pokemon
Like Pokémon amie, petting and feeding your Pokémon raises their affection. The higher their affection the more likely they are to do things like dodge moves, shake off status effects, and tough out moves with one HP

in addition, refresh added the ability to use medicine to remove status effects from your Pokémon post battle.
 
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.
Two hearts shown on the switching screen is enough for the (I think 30%) EXP boost (and to evolve Eevee into Sylveon upon level up with fairy move).

Going beyond that starts to give the more crazy boosts like dodging moves.

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...
Yeah it's about dragging the right icon if you're doing it post battle and then rubbing and doing so gains a few hearts of affection.

Have to wait till I'm off work to play =( 5:30 can't come soon enough.

What's up with this Island Scan?
Get 100 points via QR scan (any QR codes can be used). Save game. Do island scan and it is one of 28 species that are not in the Pokedex and the game tells you what route they are on (it is always the island you are currently on). You have an hour to catch it. They can't call for help so no HA. Still the (species found via island scan)
Gen II and Gen V starters are worth catching in non-Pokeballs so when bank does open you can pass the ball down...if you're a ball enthusiast like me :P

If you get one you don't like just soft reset and change islands,

There is also speculation that SoS chains (pokemon keep calling for help) have an increased chance of shiny appearances (they certainly start getting guaranteed perfect IVs and HAs showing up) and unlike previous chaining methods you can get it into a fairly unbreakable state.

But yeah shiny reports are always high at the start of a gen because you have millions of players.

An NPC outright says it increases shiny rates, so it's not speculation.
 
I'm very upset. I go to Target to see if I could get a copy. They have more than enough. So I try to cancel my Amazon order, but I can't because they're "preparing shipment". Amazon fucks up and now they won't let me cancel my order. Fuck off.
 
If I want to reset until I get a female starter, can I just save and reload or do I have to delete my data? When is the gender of the starter set?

Buy the Target copy, save the reciept, play immediately. Return the Amazon copy to Target, retain pre-order pricing overall.

You can save and just reload with L+R+Select

I don't think you see the gender until they ask you if you want to name it.
 
Absolutely in love with this game and I'm only about 40 minutes in :P
Love the setting, characters, music, Popplio... everything.

Anyone know where exactly on Route 1 I can catch a Pikachu?

Steelbook in the box. Not sure what 3 to keep. Amazon needs to alert you when you have things shipping so you can cancel. Might return the steelbook and keep the normal ones not sure. Seems rare I guess.

The patches just to the left and right of the entrance to Iki Town.
 
Wait so if I'm reading this right they nerfed
Gengar
?

In my opinion
Levitate
is more useful than
Cursed Body
.

WTF Game Freak...
 
Two questions regarding Festival Plaza.

1) What's the fastest way to level up facilities? Cause if it's just by using them by myself, that's looks like it's going to take forever. I never messed with Join Avenue in BW2 much, so I don't remember how it worked there.

2) Is there a way to get rid of that green ! on the menu by the Festival Plaza icon. It's bugging me. I think I've talked to everyone in the Plaza, but it's still there.

1)I'm not sure, but if you level up your plaza, sometimes Sophicles will offer you a new building. I've had him introduce Rare Kitchen 2, a straight upgrade to Rare Kitchen 1. There is also another upgrade that lets you buy shops from other guests with Festival Coins. But since today is day one, people probably won't have a lot of options.

2)Yes... but I don't know how I did it.
 
Yes, he got hit with Lucille the nerf bat.
Worst part is that not only is he my favorite Gen I Pokémon but it seems like he's the only one that got hit with a nerf
and maybe the 3 dogs depending on your take of Inner Focus

This sucks!
