EVs are seriously the dumbest part of pokemon. They should do away with that mechanic entirely

In a casual playthrough, EVs are not necessary 99% of the time. You will accrue them naturally just by battling, but the game is typically balanced so all your EVs more or less end up evenly distributed. Actually training specific EVs is a mechanic for the competitive players most of the time. Also, competitive play and casual play are two very very different beasts. If you play the single player game the way Nintendo/GameFreak intend, you shouldn't have an issue most of the time. If you go into the Elite Four with a competitive mindset, EV trained, bred for egg moves, everyone is level 100, all that, you can actually have a much more difficult time. Likewise if you take your casual team into a competitive environment you'll probably be used to wipe the floor.
The way I think about personality values is the IVs and nature are the "DNA" of a Pokemon. At the most basic level these aspects separate Pokemon of the same species from each other. Then EVs are the "skills", you train up the aspects of the pokemon you want them to excel at. At the end of the day it's just another method to distinguish Pokemon of the same species from each other. While there are more or less agreed upon "correct" EVs to train on each Pokemon, sometimes you can get away with doing some really really weird stuff, even if it's only useful in specific situations.

why would anyone want to use the same pokemon over and over again in new games? You dont want to train new pokemon? If you play a final fantasy game does it bother you that you cant use characters from the previous title?

People have their favorites. And I'm more into the collecting side of things myself, I have made multiple living dexes over the years, it's just part of the fun. And now I'm working on a shiny living dex, and many of the shinies I've found are really cool and I want to use them online or in raids, but I just can't.

Yes XY and ORAS have the day/night cycle. Sword/Shield do too, but it only comes into effect after you clear the campaign for some reason. Until then there's a set time that is applied globally for each stage of the story.

So not every Pokemon is obtainable or even usable in Gen 8. At launch only 400 Pokemon were actually coded into the game. The other 500 simply could not be moved over from Home. About 200 or so have been added back in in the DLC, but also the given reason for why not every Pokemon was in the game was total bullshit. They said they wanted to make the available Pokemon all look really nice and make new animations. They didn't do any of this. The same models and attack animations from gens 6 and 7 are reused.

Also the story mode is baaaaaaaaad.

But, it did bring a ton of really nice qol changes though. You can completely EV train a pokemon just with vitamins. You can teach egg moves at the daycare. You can change natures and even unlock hidden abilities with rare items. Also Rare Candies, and Experience Candies are given out liberally. But you have to do tons and tons of raid battles to get them in large quantities.

Overall gen 8 is a mixed bag.

People crap on 3D world, but I think it's the best 3D mario game (especially if you play with friends).

Keep in mind, I also think Super Mario Bros 2 is the best mario game, so I know my opinions are not popular.

Yeah I never understood the hate for 3D World. Okay didn't like reinvent Mario or anything, but for what it was, it was a solid game. And the Switch rerelease is even better, and it comes with Bowser's Fury, which is a fantastic little Mario game that bodes very well for the future.

Kinda related. But since I started hunting shinies last September, I've found 137 individual species, and some duplicates. But hey that's a pretty big chunk of the living dex completed lol

There's a bug in max raid dens right now where 3-star Hattrems have the G-Max factor. Normally Hattrems cannot have G-Max. Hatterene can have a G-Max form, but neither of its pre-evolutions can. I checked raid dens until I found a 3-star Hattrem. Opened it up, and lo and behold it was also shiny. Caught it, and it had the G-Max factor. This is a Pokemon that cannot normally exist. Now I don't know what they're going to do with this. They have accidentally put impossible Pokemon into raid dens before but patched them out. Shiny Hatterene is a Pokemon I want, but having a shiny impossible Pokemon is just swag to show off. I think I'm going to hold onto it and see what they do. If they put out a patch to remove the G-Max factor on Hattrems, then I'll evolve it and give it the soup. But if they don't, then I guess I just have an extremely rare Pokemon!

Okay, I know it's aDrive, and he's getting information from less than reputable sources, but this appears legit. There are new Pokemon. You can mount Pokemon, you can hold onto flying Pokemon to fly, and the battle system is a Final Fantasy style ATB system where your speed stat determines how often you can attack.

I was thinking about it, and it's strange how for the 25th anniversary how lackluster it was. For the 20th they did a year long event where they released a mythical Pokemon every month up to Sun/Moon's release. You'd think they would do something similar. Or here's an idea. They're not shy about adding new Pokemon mid generation now. Design a new mythical specifically for the anniversary, and have some kind of in game distribution and unlock event that everyone can do together. They didn't even mention plans for Home or Sword/Shield or anything. Just "hey here's 2 new games! Bye!". Maybe Covid messed things up, who knows.
