Would the Ditto even be considered a glitch (as in something PokeBank can check)?

From what I understand the game mistakenly forgets to revert the Ditto's original stats back to what it was as the game thinks it's already a Ditto due to it having transform in its moveset.

It shouldn't, since it's the same as a normal shiny Ditto. There's nothing that should tip off that it's glitched, so you should be able to transfer it no problem.

back to what I said earlier, I know its a legendary, but it was level 45. My boys are late 30s.

This game is rough with leveling man

Yeah, Johto's level curve is so bad. It's a little better in this game than the originals, thankfully.

They have checks in Bank, but as long as something seems legitimate, like those shinies, it won't catch them. The shinies were gotten from a glitched Ditto, but the checks don't know that you got the shiny from breeding with a glitched Ditto, so Bank lets them through. It blocks Mew, Missingno and its variants, and anything that has a move that it shouldn't. Anything else is fair game.

They didn't change anything from the VC releases except disabling Game Boy Printer support, changing trading to be done over 3DS wireless, letting you play the Pikachu minigame in Yellow without a surfing Pikachu, and giving you the GS Ball in Crystal. They might've changed Jynx's color in some of the games, but I think that one was only in the Japanese version.

It's something that's only in the Gen 7 games. In those games, a Pokemon can call for help, and the more they call for help, the higher the chance is of getting a shiny. I wasn't going for the shiny. I was waiting for Poliwag to call a Politoed, but I wasn't going to give up the shiny when it showed up. The Chansey thing is because SOS chaining Chanseys is the best way to get experience in USUM. Never found a shiny there, though.

The shinies I can remember off the top of my head, excludiing the Red Gyarados, the dragon that Benga gives you, and the special Haxorus: Cascoon (Platinum, Eterna Forest. This was while Cheryl was with me, so I was really concerned that she would knock it out.), Sneasel (Platinum, hatched), Poliwag (Moon, SOS chaining while I was trying for a Politoed. Never found the Politoed, but at least I got a shiny), Scyther (Ultra Moon, found randomly in the bushes when I was trying to SOS chain Chanseys).

I also found a bunch through Ultra Wormholes, but those are so much more common that they hardly count.

Psychic isn't nearly as good anymore, now that Bug and Ghost types have good moves and Steel resists it and Dark is immune to it. Dragon pretty much took the role that Psychic had, at least in Gen 4 and 5.

Aren't they catchable in the Safari Zone?

I mean, Morty has two Haunters, and GSC introduces a new Ghost Pokmon. Falkner has two Kanto Pokmon, when he could easily have had a Hoothoot or a Noctowl. Bugsy has only Kanto Pokemon, when it wouldn't have been that much of a challenging upgrade to give him a Ledian or an Ariados or a Yanma or something. Why not give Chuck a Tyrogue or a Hitmontop? Couldn't Jasmine have had a Skarmory? How about giving Pryce a Sneasel?

I love the entirety of the Gen II Pokedex, but their availability or lack thereof. (to be caught or seen) is baffling.

Honestly, he's probably better off with a second Haunter than a Misdreavus. But yeah, he should've had Haunter, Misdreavus, Gengar. Falkner should've had a Hoothoot instead of Pidgey, Bugsy should've had Pineco and Yanma instead of the cocoons, and Chuck should've had Hitmontop in addition to what he had. Change Primeape to a Mankey if he's too hard after that. Jasmine and Price at least already had a Johto Pokemon.

But I think the problem there is that they wanted you to discover the new Pokemon on your own. So they wanted you to find Pineco for the first time by headbutting trees and find Sneasel and Misdreavus randomly in the final dungeon. A good chunk of Johto Pokemon were annoying to find like that.

Yeah, the Johto gyms really don't have the greatest selection of Pokmon. Though a couple are hurt by the lack of options, like Morty's gym and the 8th gym. The 8th gym did get a little better in HGSS, to its credit.

Sort of. You aren't in court so it's construed as a rebuttal to their argument, but it's functionally the same thing.

Rock Smash was a lot better in Gen 5 and X/Y when it was a decent early fighting TM that a ton of stuff could learn.

No, it's actually super simple. You can see how to do it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh0AZR-tKwM (Don't get intimidated by the 17 minute length. He shows how to do it in the first three minutes and the rest is troubleshooting and showing off it working in Pokemon.)

Wild Magnemite hold the item you need to evolve Onix. That's the only way to get it before beating the Elite Four. You should've just picked up the Thief TM which will help you get it.

If you're going to wait until level 40 to evolve your Gloom, you might as well just wait until you beat the Elite Four and buy the Sun Stone from the Pokeathlon on a Friday or Sunday.

It's not like competition changes much. Sun and Moon was their response to Yokai Watch when that was big. If that's what they put out with competition, I don't think we can expect any competition to make the games better.

Either Growlithe or Vulpix was route 36 in Gold and Silver. They put Growlithe on route 35 in Crystal, but if you can get to route 35, then you can get to route 36.

Steel as an early gym in Gen 2 would've been so awful. So many things only have STAB and Normal moves, and with the lack of early Fire types you'd be really screwed if you didn't pick Cyndaquill, and even then it takes forever to actually learn a Fire move.

Onix is still bad. I wouldn't bother with it unless you can trade it to evolve it to Steelix, and even that's pretty late in the game.

You might need Flash at some point late in the game. I can't remember if that cave is still dark in the remakes. In any case, it's still much easier to see in there without Flash than in the originals.

---

""Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope." HK-47

Also, I'm pretty sure the reason they brought back old VAs for this game is so they could keep costs down and still have the old VAs cameo when Tsumugi cosplays them. It probably costs a lot less to have them read off a couple lines of dialog on another character than to bring in new people and then have to bring back the old VAs for a couple cameo lines late in the game.

The weapons weren't what Tsumugi couldn't have planned for.

Now that you've beaten the game I can elaborate on this. Tsumugi couldn't have planned for Keebo's antenna getting knocked off during an execution. Even after that, his reaction to free will would've had to be go nuts and blow everything up like he did. It was such a remote possibility that Tsumugi probably never thought of it.

Dungeon design was probably at its best in Gen 5, where they managed to give dungeons some interesting gimmicks without using HMs. Having interestingly designed places like Chargestone Cave and the Relic Castle helped too.

Bringing up Three Houses is interesting, because it's likely that the next game for both Fire Emblem and Pokemon is a remake of the fourth one. When I was playing Three Houses, I was excited for what a Genealogy of the Holy War remake would look like. Looking at Sword and Shield, I don't want a Diamond and Pearl remake because it'll be a disappointment with the way Game Freak has been recently. The worst part? I just played Genealogy for the first time last summer, while I haven't played non-randomized DPP in nearly a decade. I love both of those games, but I'm only looking forward to replaying one of them, and it's the one I just played through.

What trdl said is basically the biggest problem with this game. It's better for people who haven't played Pokmon in a long time rather than long term fans of the series, which is bad because that's what Let's Go was supposed to be. Heck, Game Freak called this one the game for the hardcore fans.
