I finally get a female Salandit and its of relaxed nature.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

The 4th pokemon I caught on route 1 was a level 5 Metapod. Is it common to find pokemon in the wild that evolve much earlier?

 

[Seil]

I would say it's based a stereotypical queen you would see in fiction rather than a dominatrix.

Its long, striking legs aren’t just for show but to be used to kick with skill. In victory, it shows off by kicking the defeated, laughing boisterously.

I can't help but imagine an ojou-sama "ohohohohoho" laugh.

 

[psyfi]

The game won't let me name my Mankey Kiki >:-(

 

[Loco4Coco]

A wild Eevee just called an Umbreon...what?!

 

[MacGurcules]

Is there a reliable source of Premier Balls in this game? Or am I relegated again to slowly buying regular balls ten at a time?

Bagon can call in a like level 10 Salamence lol.

Pokeballs 10 at a time.

When you get to Royal Avenue you can at least do that for half price lol.

Spoiler

As a user of the much superior Luxury Ball this is not an issue for me.

 

[nickgia]

WHAT?!?! (On route 8)

Spoiler

Colress

is in this game?? The story just got interesting.

 

[Tacorona72]

I'm 21+ hours in and still haven't reached the 3rd island. Wtf am I even doing?

 

[Roto13]

Managed to get a Popplio, Litten, and Pancham from the GTS. (Wasn't sure Pancham was in this game. Happy to see that it is.)

This is why I wanted a female Rowlet. I got them all for Rowlets I just bred at the daycare.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Even rotomdex is gay for ilima.

 

[DNAbro]

Jeez the first trainer on the 4th island was 8 levels higher than my weakest team member. Guess it's time to do a bit of grinding and turn on exp share cause that's ridiculous.

 

[Seil]

Even rotomdex is gay for ilima.

Rotom are genderless =p

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Just finished the Team Skull raid... And I'm feeling meh. It was cool but I'm too overleveld to have a challenge. Thinking about switching lycanroc for stufful for a bit, try to evolve it to bewear and give that a spin.

I need to try out that island scan. Let me do that now before moving on.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Am I the only one that keeps my Pokémon unevolved for a very very long time? I feel like we as players spend so much time with the fully evolved forms we barely get to see and spend time with the first few stages.

My team consists of:
Rowlet
Litten
Popplio
Crabrawler

 

[Wanderer5]

Oh sweet different hairstyles and colors alongside clothing and all. Went to get one of the shorter haircuts and dark brown color to better reflect mine.

Also lol the two last comments in this pic.

 

[trixx]

this game is quite good, much better than X and Y

Anyone able to get

Spoiler

TM27 Return? Oranguru isn't in the Malasada shop for me.

Thanks for this!

 

[Crayolan]

Trial 6 down, my favorite one yet.

MIMIKYU GET YESSSSSSSS

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.

If you have exp share on you will always be overleveled.

So yeah, nice little early wake-up call boss fight you got there, GameFreak.

You got me. Well played.

My first black out. Definitely not my last.

it seems like it has a move for whatever starter you picked. It is the "I hope you trained other pokemon, because I'm going in" fight.

I was solo Litten at that point so I was worried it'd take me a while. Managed to beat it on my 2nd try though.

This is the last thing the NPCs see before they die

I knew Wishiwashi was gonna be a badass the moment I saw it. Was happy to have my suspicions confirmed only a few minutes later.

 

[lupinko]

I am currently breeding Littens with egg moves (the last move planned is dependent on when my meowth has reached level 38). And I'm just wondering just how good the Masuda Method is in this game. Because this is without the shiny charm too!

https://imgur.com/a/KWwa2

These Littens with egg moves are letting me fill up my dex. Lol

Dang. I guess I got spoiled by XY.

 

[Velcro Fly]

So have we really found out how easy/hard it is to get bottle caps and how to do that exactly?

 

[Bladenic]

Is Geodude on the third island? Still on island 2, just wondering.

 

[SpiceMelange]

Wishiwashi is better than a lot of legendaries. That monster has 600+ total base stats.

 

[Teknoman]

How is it that I actually like Rattata now?

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Is Geodude on the third island? Still on island 2, just wondering.

Yup on the far right side of the island.


I just did this damn island scan and got a rhyhorn T_T

 

[Kiro]

This game is okay at best. It's a pokemon game, so its fun but I seriously think it is the worst pokemon to date.

• Bad World Design. feels divided and small
• New pokemon list is small, and not too many "cool" pokemon
• A lot of pokemon seem to be the same 3 or 4 types, while a lot of other types are very sparse.
• Game is so happy-go-lucky all the time.
• The cut scenes. Holy, it is like walking from one cut scene to another sometimes, but for 6 in a row.
• Way too easy. Most pokemon games are easy but this one is just silly. Even the island leaders are a joke.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Is anyone else using Komala? That thing is a monster.

I mean its normal STAB is weaker than Bewear and Toucannon's, but Komala is way cuter. I'm actually glad it doesn't evolve. Perfect design.

So have we really found out how easy/hard it is to get bottle caps and how to do that exactly?

Saw a sign in the overworld saying you get them from Festival Plaza.

 

[Maintenance]

In a world that Diamond & Pearl / Black and White exist, Sun & Moon will never be the worst pokemon game to me.

 

[Type2]

Just making my way to the first island challenge and taking my time to enjoy the game. I decided to catch a boat load of Pichu for no apparent reason. I still cant decide who I want to keep on my team which currently consists of Pichu, Trumbeak, Grimer and my starter (went with rowlet).
Should I start scanning QR codes yet?

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Pretty much. BW will always be the worst out of the games. Sun and Moon was never gonna change that.

 

[MannyToons]

Got my ass handed to me on my initial attempt at Mallow's challenge.

Spoiler

The Lurantis's automatic Solar Blade on the first turn was just horrifying for my Rock, Water, and Ground team.

Ended up having to ditch the challenge, grind my Rockruff and Cubone until they evolved, caught a Fletchling just to use for the totem battle to take hits, and ended up running into a Stufful that called for help like 3 times. I caught one! Her name is Cuddles. :3

Spoiler

Oh, and I BODIED that Lurantis.

 

[Kiro]

Pretty much. BW will always be the worst out of the games. Sun and Moon was never gonna change that.

Okay, I can agree. B/W was terrible. But still, Sun & Moon really missed their mark. I don't even want to keep playing if this is what the whole game is like.

Can't disagree more, sorry

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Stuff.

Dont spoil the surprise :/

 

[Kiro]

That's cool, to each their own. But you seriously disagree with the disgusting volume of cut scenes?

 

[MatthewB92]

I like them.

 

[Seil]

That's cool, to each their own. But you seriously disagree with the disgusting volume of cut scenes?

I do. I felt the pacing of story beats and game progress was fine. Especially after XY which had a garbage story and really weird pacing of progress.

It only becomes a problem to me on subsequent playthroughs, but for the initial run I thoroughly enjoyed it as it was.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Can't disagree more, sorry

yeah, that guy has some very disagreeable opinions. I'll chalk it up to him still being early in the game.

 

[Crayolan]

I got

Spoiler

Zygarde.

That was...unexpected.

That's cool, to each their own. But you seriously disagree with the disgusting volume of cut scenes?

The back to back stops annoyed me for the first 2 hours of the game or so. After that, they were infrequent enough that they didn't bother me.

 

[Dad]

As long as they include Team Skull

 

[Kiro]

Yeah, I am still early. You have given me hope for tomorrow that this game turns out to change my opinions.

I have been a little prejudice on my opinion, I will cleanse my bias and continue on tomorrow.

 

[MannyToons]

Dont spoil the surprise :/

Edited.

 

[Ashby]

I just caught a Pichu and a Grimer across from the Pokecenter in Hau'oli City!

 

[Milijango]

.

That encounter is really clever. I did it first try, purely through the power of Toxic. Though no one got EXP from the Totem Pokemon because everyone who participated got KO'd...

 

[Dad]

Yeah, I am still early. You have given me hope for tomorrow that this game turns out to change my opinions.

Which island are you on?

 

[FireBeaver]

I can never decide which Pokemon I should put on my team, I just have too many really.
