Well after this success KC will be the standard. I don’t like it but this kinda confirms it

there’s so much loading in this game it would’ve been a nightmare on cartridge, but for most games it seems like it really is just the companies cutting costs. At least Nintendo promised the big first parties will be on cartridge, those will be the only physicals I buy I guess

soundtrack of the year

I did the same
Great combo
FireRed for the OG badge/E4 challenge
Pokopia for the chill vibes

10 million (at least) by the end of the year tbh

beat the game, ending was a little underwhelming but hopefully there’s some cool postgame quests, I notice in the Pokédex I’m missing like 10 legendaries

Hilarious

I MIGHT need to get this game eventually cus this is exactly how I feel

The Pokémon are so silly and interesting and have personality

Playing Pokemon Platinum for the first time, currently in the distortion world and need to solve the puzzle. Probably gonna be battling Giratina soon

Am I tripping or is there no way to get back here without a team of HM slaves? I needed Strength, Surf and Rock Climb to get here. My team weak and I don't have many Pokeballs but I don't want to do this whole trek again unless I have to

brother let me borrow his sword copy i’m enjoying it a lot so far

way better than z-a

my copy of arceus shows up monday

Finally playing Legends of Arceus (never owned a switch) and man

Game is very fun its actually great

Having so much fun exploring and completing every dex entry to level 10

Im like 7 star galaxy rank and have no level obey limit and just barely started the third island

Boutta buy my wife pokopia and force her to become a pokemaniac finally

I love the idea and concept but man I was so f***ing disappointed when I finally played it

I would have liked it more if they kept the normal battle system but even then I was so surprised at it's emptyness....

I still need to find time to go back and complete it for Arceus before champions is out. I still don't have one

Legends Arceus of of the best in the series without a doubt

I get what u mean man. Maybe its because i played it with "pokemon game" expectations but i so far hasnt encountered the world empty. Maybe its because it feels nice catching pokemon here, the pokemon feel like the reward for exploring

I was even surprised to how many pokemon are in each zone, like u can pass thru a zone several times and encounter a new more rare pokemon at the 6th time

Would recommend bibarel, it can learn all of those three plus rock smash, waterfall, cut

In Pokémon crystal you really have to catch Raikou and Entei in order to be allowed to catch Ho-Oh

Good thing you can clone Pokémon in gen 2 to get another masterball cause I was not going to go through this mess again

I caught ho-oh in a fast ball

LOL rare. I forgot about the OG cloning in Gen 2

I just can't get behind this lol. It feels like a pokemon game for people who don't actually like the games

I love the concept and had a lot of fun but idk I was disappointed when I finally got to playing it. Like I finished the games story and just kept thinking "this is it? This is everything everyone wanted out of pokemon all along?" I specifically hated the action based boss fights with a passion...and I personally hated BOTW so I think that's part of it too

Idk I think when I go back to actually finish the Pokedex I might like it more. That's what made SV click for me long after I finished the story+dlc

I do hope to God they make a true sequel with the potential of the switch 2 hardware

They really f***ing killed it with the animal crossing dialogue type stuff. I'm blown away at how much better the conversations are in this game vs animal crossing

Bulbasaurs humid line is gonna live rent free in my head for the rest of my life

Fast ball ho oh is so f***ing baller

I'm scared to start hunting any of the legendaries because I'm going to be extremely picky with what balls I use since I plan on using them for champions... Catch rates in frlg are already so ass to begin with

Anyone have opinions on what's best to use the masterball with? Id just save it and make a pokemon hold it to transfer to home but I'm 99% sure you can't even do that

I would use your masterball on the roaming legendary dogs in frlg. One of them is available in your postgame.

In newer gens I usually try to find them 3 times order to catch them:
1st encounter: False swipe to 1HP
2nd encounter: Spore to put it to sleep
3rd encounter: Quick Ball
