Just picked this up from Walmart on my lunch. It's been a while since I bought a brand new release game. Is there a reason to buy from anywhere other than Walmart in future since it seems they only charge $50 for release games?

Just got the credits. I really enjoyed the game, particularly the closing period, and I wasn't spoiled on the new form for Dialga/Palkia either. So that was a cool surprise. Also loved the way they remixed the Dialga/Palkia theme for both the first battle and the second.

Now the real fun begins.

yup, haha. I'm over 50 hours already. Helped that I had four of the five days off, though - it'll slow down starting today.

Nice! Kinda jelly, I probably would have done the same if I didn't have to go to work

I'm 21 hours in and haven't done the first quest of the 2nd area yet

Started exploring the second area last night. I always try to get the lost satchels whenever they appear, and the game put one all the way over in the southeast corner on my very first trip, so that was quite a trek to get there.

I managed to stealth catch an Alpha Tangrowth, Yanmega, Carnivine, and I think Rhyhorn in Leaden Balls. Tried Lickilicky and Honchkrow too, but gave up after too many failures. I'm not sure what all is rare in this section, but I caught a Togepi, a Bonsly from collecting ore, and two Turtwigs. The Turtwig respawned, so I'm guessing it was common for that spot.

For the first time, I hit the flashing red stage when a murder of Murkrows all ganged up on me (and then I recovered, I turned around and caught them all). I was also close to losing all my Pokemon once or twice, but that was more on me for being negligent with heals. My first rift also gave me trouble, but I caught a Porygon and 2-3 more Eevees.

Also I have Samurott! Oh yeah, and a Graveler dropped a Black Augurite, so it's Kleavor time. Tempted to do a bit of hunting for an Alpha Scyther spawn first...

I also tried resetting for a shiny Shinx in an outbreak before that, but I'm not sure I was doing it right for most of it. I saved in Jubilife, cleared them out, quit. Then I rebooted and forgot about auto-save because I started out at the camp, so I disabled that and went back to Jubilife, saved, and then repeatedly cleared them out and reset. I just couldn't tell if I was doing it right or if I was just encountering the exact same batch of Shinxes over and over.

After a while, I decided to clear most but not all and go back to Jubilife and back, and the outbreak was refreshed and that time actually spawned an Alpha (caught it). So I did the same of clearing out most and going back again, but then suddenly the outbreak shifted to some Parasects. Oh well.

I actually got all of them without a guide I strongly recommend translating the clues though, they are very good. I'm in the middle of endgame now so I don't know if there's any reward post-game for them, or if they triggered one of the quests I have open.

Holy fuck. The postgame has some amazing shit

First Cresselia screwed with my controls, then the most challenging Pokemon boss fight in years - Volo and then double Giratina immediately afterwards. Great. I loved it. Lost three times and had to really put thought into when to heal, use agile style, etc.

postgame stuff:

Yeah that Volo battle and then no time to heal was a surprise.

Catching Enamorous was annoying though

also very surprised you needed all the wisps to complete the dex

finished the dex, woo. Now to get them all up to level 10. Which requires translating all these Unown hints

Feel like I'm having some good luck with distortions. Got a Porygon in the first one, and just got two Johtonian Sneasels in my second one.

And I found a shiny Starly. Absolutely would not have if not for the sound playing. Some of these Pokemon appear really small on handheld, so even after hearing it I still couldn't really be sure what was shiny, so I just caught all three Starly from a distance. Then I caught the nearby Geodude for good measure, haha.

Uh, got a question. For the Irida battle when you first go to Cobalt Coastlands, that's just supposed to be a 1v1 with her Glaceon, right? There's not supposed to be a level 15 Eevee that runs in from offscreen for a 2v1?

Cuz that's what happened to me.

I appreciate being able to physically run away from fights. I was just fighting an Alpha Roserade and failing to catch it, and it had me down to my last Pokemon. Sensing my impending doom, I started running as my Ursaring's health was depleting and Samurott was forced out. Luckily I got far enough away before having to find out whether the Roserade was going to get two turns in a row.

I think I've decided the battle system in this game is not good. Damage is so high that any strategy beyond rock-paper-scissors is worthless. It would be even worse in PvP so not including that was definitely the right decision.

That's why my Umbreon is legitimately my favorite Pokemon I have in this game.
HP: 222
Attack: 107
Special Attack: 92
Defense: 220
Sp. Def: 236
Speed: 107

Going for stall tactics has always been my absolute least favorite thing to do in Pokemon games. My ending team in the last mainline game I played included Garchomp, Volcarona, and Scizor. Just give me attack power and speed and let me romp.

But this game has been the complete opposite. Getting one-shotted by lower-level Alpha Pokemon is insanely frustrating, so getting the jump on something and using Calm Mind and Snarl to start things off feels completely game-breaking.

I'm getting close to my 7th star and I haven't even done the first story mission in the Mirelands yet. >_>

I don't feel like I'm even grinding them out, either. I'm just exploring and catching everything, while swapping out teammates as they evolve. I just uncovered the last section of the map, so I'll be doing the story soon.

In hindsight I would definitely have used a more defensive lineup.

Final team was:

Samurott, Staraptor, Porygon-Z, Gengar, Hisuian Arcanine, Hisuian Goodra

But for postgame I had to drop Arcanine and Staraptor, and replace them with the lvl 85 Alpha Garchomp I caught and Heatran. They were slightly too low leveled and I needed more power for more spoilers Volo and Giratina

Had I been more defensive I think the Volo fight would have been less of an RPS/Revives/OHKO fest
