Lurker > Nanis23

Saw it.
I am glad he admitted that the strong parts of the game are strong, at least
As for his gameplay complaints...some stuff he is right about, some he isn't

I totally agree with Great Bay Temple sucking. This is one of the worst dungeons in the Series. At least it makes up to it by having Stone Tower Temple..
I also totally agree with carrying the explosive barrel being a PITA, I hate this part so much

Everything else...is just nitpicking
I never use the bank. As far as I remember it's just a way to get a heart piece of you deposit a lot or something? don't recall. But really, there is no need.
Time limit is never a problem. 3 hours is a plenty and even if time runs out and you need to do something again, you already know how and what you need to do so the second time is faster
Not to mention how when you get a dungeon item it usually makes repeating it faster and easier as well
Complaining about the giant Stalfos..come on, really? a lot of games ask you to leave the area and enter again to repeat something, it's nothing new

There is also the part with the heart piece after the 4th boss which he is right about. I don't defend it, but to me it always makes the logical sense to pick up something that doesn't advance the story first.
I also do it when talking to characters in games, if you know that talking or doing something will advance the story, but you want to talk to everyone else before doing it, you will just not talk to the character that will cause the story progression

it's a relic from FF games letting you re-name the characters. FFX lets you rename Tidus and only Tidus, and the other characters never say it.

Oh. Cool
What about Kingdom Hearts? Dissidia?

Curry Dex 96% complete, only missing Sword's exclusive and Gigantamix
The ingredient hunting and berry hunting was very simple and easy, even without the exploit. As long as you actually bothered to get berries and purchase ingredients every day since starting playing, you should have everything
At first I thought each curry needs 10 berries...which would be insane, but turns out you only need one berry for each curry so it's really not a problem

The problem is actually the process itself. It takes roughly 90 seconds per curry. It's super repetitive and at some point I just stopped doing anything and let it play itself, but it was still very time consuming and boring
It should take between 4-5 hours to complete the Curry Dex..but if you want to have all 3 sizes, you need to do it twice, which means around 9-10 hours
It's insane and I am glad that it's (almost) over

Got the new trophy on the PS4 version

had no saves near there so just had to do a quick speedrun from the beginning up to the Kendo gun shop

still a good video game!

Wait it's out already?
Is there any way to check if it's active in the Steam version? because it currently has 0% completion rate...

Alcremie, by far
Vivillon was just a matter of 3-4 hours hunting in the GTS
Nowadays it might be close to impossible, though

Oh and getting Vivillon with your own OT might be a bit crazy too as it would require you to have 3 different region editions of 3DS and reset your game at least 16 times so..yeah, if you mean Vivillon with your OT then it's more troublesome than Alcremie (with the exploit)

Finally got at least 9 of each Sweet item! it only took....109 days of skipping...
(I was lucky enough to get a extra Flower Sweet on the 110th day)

Yeah if they think it's somehow logical to wait more than 3 months to get every form of Alcremie...
They totally should have made some Sweet item more common depending on your game, so say if your trainer ID last digit is 0-1 then Strawberry is super common, if it's 2-3 then Love, 4-5 is Berry etc
It would promote trading and make it very possible

We've always had to wait for events to 100% Pokemon games. Is this really anything new?

Of course, but we never had this many unreleased Pokeomn
I am talking about 18 Alcremie forms, 35 old Pokemon, 2 Mythical Pokemon (Probably), 2 event Gigantamax Pokemon and ?? amount of super-rare Gigantamax Pokemon that are available but super rare..

---

wololo

Yeah this game feels more like a "game as a service" more than any other game...when talking about post-game stuff
They expect you to play the game every day for a long time...and wait for special events

It would be fine for a mobile game, but sorry, when a mainline Pokemon game comes out, I am 100% dediciated to it until I finish everything
Just knowing I won't be able to 100% it in the near future (thanks for missing 2 "Sweet" items, for example. And the unreleased Gmax Pokemon..) is disappointing

My record now is 2 years and 3 months. For a single Gmax to show up. This RNG is great.

I AM planning to get every Gigantamax Pokemon so...I thought it might br just a matter of hours (considering how many times I saw GMax Orbeetle when I farmed Watts) but this is super discouraging

Pretty sure it's Hollow Knight

Gotta disagree with Dynamax being negative
I mean, if we are talking competitive...then yeah, maybe, I don't know, I don't play competitive and not going to

But in-game for Gym Battles and the epic battle against Eternatus ...I liked it, a lot
The music pumping up when the opponent is Dynamaxing it's Pokemon, the Switch rumbling (in Handheld mode) and the absurd animations - they all made the battle more epic

---

wololo

Oh and yeah I hope Code Veronica is next
RE4 doesn't need a remake. I trust Capcom to do that game justice if they ever remake it...but I don't think it's needed.
What would it improve? The graphics? RE4 is pretty old, yes, but got updated textures and there are mods that make it look even better. Sure it isn't looking like a next-gen game or anything, but it's decent enough
And I wouldn't be excited for just a graphical improvement

They can add new stufd but the length of RE4 is perfect. They could change stufd but there aren't any things I want changed or removed. RE4 is near perfect

Pokemon go is designed that way, and it works more or less. Pokemon are raised with candy because the game is designed to emphasize catching and real world exploration. Let's go takes elements of the mobile game and creates a chimeric system that doesn't function for the system it is put in. You cant put caramel on steak and say "its designed for people who like ice cream"

Like Oleanna just said Leon and Rose are in an important meeting and suddenly this means there are bad league staff and Rose is up to nefarious deeds and we have to raid Rose Tower to... save the strongest trainer in the region I guess?

It was totally rushed and out of place
It's like they did it just because a Pokemon game MUST have a villain and no other reason
The timing sucked too, it was right before a fight they hyped since the very beginning of the game

Got 2 Antique Sinistea after 53 catches

Used the time travelling trick and after a month still no Chipped Pot. But got 5 Cracked Pot so at leadt those are not rare...

So last post as I wanted to share my goals

Buy every clothing item - Done
Get all clothes - Can't get the event clothes, and still need the clothes from "Ranked Battle" and "Master Ball Tier" in the battle tower
Buy at least 1 of every item from each shop - Done except for the BP shops..
Complete all in-game trades - Done
Catch all Gigantamax Pokemon - Only got Butterfree, Eevee and Meowth.. (Pikachu will stay unobtainable probably forever)
Get all Trainer Cards - Only missing Leon (Rare)
Get all Gift Pokemon - Only missing Pikachu
Get all TMs - Done
Get all TRs - Done
Complete Pokedex - Done
Get all League cards backgrounds and effects - Missing - Let's Go Pikachu background and frame, Curry background, Gigantamax background, Battle Tower Backgrounds
Curry Dex - Completed like...1%
Complete each Pokejob at least once - I only used a Pokejob one time so..
Get all new Pokemon with Hidden Abilities + Weezing - Yeah...I have done nothing yet
Item Dex - also a long way away from completing it. Most items missing are those from BP Shops
Living Dex - Need all sizes of Pumpkaboo, one more Sinistea (Antique), Type Null, Zacian...and 63 Alcremie forms

Yeah, this will take a while
I also wanted to say I really liked how they respected the player's time but seeing bullshit like Sinistea Antique and the 63 Alcremie forms I am not so sure anymore
I mean fuck, you can fight in 3 cafe one time per day and get 3 items per day, which means even if you get a evolution item for Milcery every single time, it would still take 21 days
But in reality you can have days without a single evolution item, and then you can also get more of the same item than you need (more than 8 of each one) so in reality we are looking at...3 months
Also waiting weeks to get the evolution item for Sinistea Antique. Seriously

The only 2019 games I played are-
Pokemon Shield
Bloostained Ritual of the Night
Untitled Goose Game
Resident Evil 2 Remake

-Untitled Goose Game has no OST, it's just random piano notes
-Resident Evil games are not known for their music, mostly because of the genre, and even if there was a very good track that fit in the game ("Collapse" is my favorite from RE2R) it isn't really a music to listen to out-of-context
-Bloodstained Ritual of the Night OST is great, but nothing really stood out

As for Pokemon-

Farfetch'd is way easier to evolve than it sounds. They have a Leek 50% of the time in the wild, grab one, give it to your Farfetch'd, then go Rock Smash the Wobbuffets on Route 5. I got my Farfetch'd there and evolved it within like five minutes.

Runerigus is truly dumb though. Milcery is fine, you're spinning the cream to turn it into a whipped dessert, I think it's kind of funny.

I mean in terms of figuring it out by yourself.
And yeah it was easy, I fought a Pelipper that Roost'd himself all the time as I used Focus Energy + attacking

This one right here is the bane of my existence. Almost two hours to find this shit. No trainer in the entire game had Drampa. It is limited to a specific part in the wild area and specific weather.

I don't like this, but I started using a money exploit.

Whoever thought of this evolution method needs to get fired..and fast
Going below a stone arch in the wild area is one thing. But needing to be missing 49+ HP makes this evolution totally depend on luck unless you look it up. I got it by luck thanksfully as I prefer to figure out things myself..but no hint for this? really? (I later found out that Farfetch'd evolution is even worse)

I thought it was weird I never found a Moss Rock in the game. So now Eevee can evolve to Leafeon and Glaceon by using a Grass and Ice Stone. In the past they were afraid to do this because "it wouldn't make sense for Eevee to evolve by using methods he could have used in the past". Game Freak sure changed
Personally I don't like this change, I prefer the evolutions to be unique. But I am sure I am in the minority of this opinion

One of my favorite parts in playing Pokemon mainline games is going back after I finished the game and look what I missed. Using HMs to pass through obstacles I couldn't before, seeing new areas, getting new items. So when I saw that there are new places to use the Water Bike (whatever name I came up with) it got me very excited. New places! new items! new dungeons with legendaries! wait..no. This never happened, sadly. There are only like 4 places in the entire game that you need to use the water bike for (besides that ice-water route you first get them) and even then it's just a basic river with a item at the end
I miss exploration. I miss going lost in a cave and then finding a Legendary Pokemon at the bottom of it. The last time it happened was on Gen 5...
