Yugioh's dub, despite its edits, is still pretty iconic.

Agreed. As much as I dislike the 4Kids censorship, the voice acting in the original DM dub was fantastic. Then again, that "censorship" also gave us the Shadow Realm, which actually sounds much worse than dying and made the show feel more hardcore by complete accident.

One of the few dubs I watch over subs is Pokemon. Do you know what Meowth's voice sounds in Japanese? It's nails on a chalkboard. Can't stand it. And that's not just because I grew up with the English dub of Pokemon.

I also refuse to watch Pokemon subbed, but it's primarily due to the names and not the voice acting. I'm just far too accustomed to the English names from the games, so hearing Charizard be called "Lizardon" after 25+ years of Charizard being Charizard to me would drive me crazy.

IMO, Kill La Kill is one of those shows that sounds amazing in both languages. I do agree that the Japanese version is a bit better, but it still has one of the best English dubs that I've ever heard and I think you can't go wrong watching it that way either.

the_real_Naruto posted...
So you need 3 apps. Pokemon Transporter, Pokemon Bank, and Pokemon Home. In order to use Pokemon Transporter to move stuff to bank, you need a physical copy that's X/Y and onward I think?(Includes Omega Ruby) and you need to have the pokedex unlocked. I sat here trying and couldn't find the exact details ANYWHERE about using the physical copy just to move from Transporter to Bank.

You don't need a physical copy of a gen 6/7 game. Digital versions also work too if you downloaded them while the 3DS e-shop was up or if you mod your 3DS and install one that way. I don't have any physical 3DS games at all anymore, and I've been able to move my Pokemon just fine.

Puglia77 posted...
Which unless you have a non-Go Celebi in your gen 8/9 games, you wouldn't be able to put your Go Celebi in those games. So honestly that's a good thing to bring your Crystal Celebi over.

the_real_Naruto posted...
Oh? I wasn't aware of that. Thanks. I wanted to use Celebi and my Mew in the later editions. I got Mew from Let's Go Pikachu's pokeball controller.

Yep, there's a special restriction on legendary/mythical Pokemon caught in Pokemon Go. You can't transfer them from Home to a mainline game that Home connects to unless that game has previously acquired that legendary/mythical in a different way that isn't transferring in one from Pokemon Go. So you'd either need to transfer in one that isn't from Go, have someone else trade you one in-game (even if you immediately trade it back), or catch one in that game if it's available to be caught. After you do one of those, then your one from Go will transfer in fine afterwards.

The Mew from the special controller connected to the Let's Go games doesn't have this restriction. It's not from Pokemon Go.

Excluding guaranteed shinies (like the Red Gyarados) or increased odds shinies (like the odd egg in Crystal) I've only used a shiny in a playthrough once. It was a full-odds shiny Spearow that I caught very early on during my very first playthrough of Sun when gen 7 came out. Usually I box shinies I catch and leave them untouched until after I finish the playthrough and decide what I want to do with them, but catching a full-odds shiny that early in my very first playthrough of a new generation gave it some sentimental value and made me want to use it as part of the team.

Interesting. All the other time gated events in that era double fucked you over for messing with the clock.

I know, that's why I'm surprised that this one apparently works. There must be some kind of difference in the code between "based on the amount of time passed" (like the honey trees in D/P/Pt) and "based on the number of days passed" (like the Johto Safari Zone) that makes this one possible. By changing the time (but not the day) from 00:01 to 23:59 and then letting the game technically roll over to the next day naturally, I guess that tricks the system into not applying the lock.

Even if it isn't allowed, Nintendo would have to actually acknowledge that the Philips CD-i and the CD-i Zelda games existed (which they really, really don't want to do given the shaky history and commercial failure of that system and those games) to pursue legal action over the use of Morshu. If it were using the CD-i versions of Link or Zelda, then they could and probably would pursue legal action based on the use of those characters since they appear in other media, but for Morshu, he only existed in those CD-i games that Nintendo would rather just never acknowledge again.

Pretty sure that doesn't work. If your clock is changed at all, all time events are reset, and won't advance for 24 hours. And even then you'll have to wait until after midnight for things to advance

I looked more into it, and I found this video about the trick and it actually does seem to work:

https://youtu.be/SncihZQQZTs?si=s2vjVA4IrZ5Px1x2&t=433 (skip to 7:13 if it doesn't go there automatically, the beginning is just pointless fluff)

However, based on the comments on the video, you need an original DS or DS Lite system or a modded 3DS that can play DS backups through the Twilight Menu++ homebrew (but at that point why not just use PkHex?) to do the trick. It doesn't seem to work when using a legit cartridge on a 3DS system.

StealThisSheen posted...
When it comes purely to "completing the Pokedex," I actually prefer the more recent games, since it's entirely possible to do without jumping through insane hoops. Ever since Gen 1, up until Sword/Shield, it has never been possible to complete the Pokedex without having, at some point, taken part in some silly, over the top event, such as going to GameStop to get a certain Pokemon, or what have you. The fact the Switch games actually specifically define the Pokedex to things you can entirely achieve in-game is nice, from a completion point of view. Yes, the limited Pokedex creates new issues, but when it comes strictly to completing the Pokedex, it's easier and more rewarding than ever.

Agreed. I do like that the games now have a really good reward (the shiny charm) for completing the realistically-doable Regional Pokedex, and the National Pokedex is still there in Home for the really dedicated players to try and complete if they so desire. I had the Nat Dex complete in Home up through S/V's base game, but I didn't buy the DLC and haven't bothered to try and trade for the new legendary Pokemon added.

Unlike most other sports, the league has no power to remove those refs and we have to watch them make it all about themselves game in and game out.

Baseball has the same problem with their umpires. It's why Angel Hernandez is still around, being the worst fucking umpire you've ever seen, blowing calls left and right while power-tripping and ejecting anyone who argues with him. MLB even started doing league-wide umpire evaluations to objectively quantify just how shit at his job Angel Hernandez is, and they still can't fire him.

I wouldn't be surprised if some MLB umpires also have money on games like I'm sure some NBA refs do. But at the same time, I think more games and point spreads are swung in baseball by sheer incompetence rather than active fixing, because there are a lot of genuinely terrible umpires still in the league.

The most trouble I've actually had so far is trying to find Surskit in Sapphire. It's probably in a gen 4 game anyway.

You can find Surskit by surfing on Route 229 (a post-game area) in Platinum, and it's very common there.

I think those are the few pokemon you still technically need third gen games for, even though you can catch them natively.

https://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/gbapokemon.shtml

Although maybe they're in the safari zone. I know that I personally transferred them.

Mawile and Sableye can be caught in HG/SS through a postgame swarm on Route 9 (Sableye in HG and Mawile in SS) and Seedot can be found on Headbutt trees in Viridian Forest as well. The other gen 3 Pokemon mentioned there can also be found in the Johto Safari Zone, but they're locked behind that area's annoying time gates, so they're better off being transferred from a gen 3 game or caught in D/P/Pt with the slot 2 insert method.

Ahahahahahaha... no. Most Pokemon still evolve with basic methods (level-up, stone, happiness, etc.) but the "unique" evolution methods just get more and more convoluted as the generations go on. You have Pokemon that evolve when they land 3 critical hits in the same battle, Pokemon that evolve only after they've used a certain move a certain number of times without healing, Pokemon that evolve when they do a certain amount of damage to themselves with recoil moves without fainting, even a Pokemon that requires you to physically turn your 3DS/Switch upside down when it levels up to evolve it. And none of those are even the most convoluted evolution method.

I have a pile of gen 4 games and I'm wondering how much of the Pokedex I can complete between them.

Aside from the Regis (because they require gen 3 transfers or an event) and event-only mythicals, I'm pretty sure you can obtain every Pokemon from gen 1-4 if you have all 5 of the gen 4 games. However, the methods for some of them might be annoying (PokeRadar, Honey/Headbutt trees, the Johto Safari Zone's time gates, etc.) and some of them might require doing multiple playthroughs like the gift Kanto/Hoenn starters in HG/SS. Having any gen 3 games to Pal Park Hoenn Pokemon from would be a huge help.

Completing a game's regional Pokedex is easier than ever before, but completing the National Pokedex in Home and acquiring every single Pokemon ever is extremely difficult. Even without including event-only mythicals, there are still some Pokemon who can't be obtained in any of the Switch games and need to be transferred from the 3DS or Go, though I'm guessing that all of them will be finally obtainable in the upcoming Legends Z-A.
