(+) Yeah! (+)

does the game feel hella sluggish to anyone else? Its like theres cement in my boots and every time theres some sort of interaction be it cutscene or textbox theres a 3-5 second delay before I can move my character.

The grass gym challenge was basically a PowerPoint presentation.

It reminds me of how they used basically cardboard cutout animations for the crowds in the stadium events for the GameCube games. Thing is, the production value for the rest of the battle stuff was extremely good for the time. As was Pokmon Battle Revolution for the most part. So unless they took that same shortcut to ease on the processing lower in some of those scenes, I can't even understand why it's so bad.

Every time I boot this game up, I have to get use to the pop-in and jank all over again. Fucking hell, GameFreak.

Beat my first titan and my first gym leader, now I head to team star's flame leader's base....or I would, I thought I found it and jumped down but was told "Hey kid, you can't come in here like that! Go to the front gate, ring the bell and then come in!!" and was kicked back to the cliffside. I'm probably under leveled anyway, my pokemon team are in their 20s but I don't have any water types, they are surprisingly a hard find

"Please don't use ice or fairy"

Wow, a dragon specialist!

Did the poison Star base. It started raining and the game started chugging to shit.

Try encountering a field Tera pokemon there, the dang grass turns to pixels from the glow effects. -_-

Leftovers can be found in a corner near the normal gym. Up til now I've used zero hold items lol.

Houndstone is legit the hardest hitting mon ever

I want the ghost dog Its adorable!

Where the fuck is the water gym asshole

i have now beat all 3 storylines

I got a level 35 Magikarp with fire teratype. Will the stats be fucked if I evolve it into Gyarados now or is it salvageable?

He went over to the oasis town northwest of the desert.

Base stats would adjust, evolving at level 20 and level 60 make no difference to the level 60 stats.

The Ice gym's challenge was the most disappointed I've been with this game, how do you fuck up a downhill sliding mini game

I'm still trying to figure out how to get to the ice gym but I'm taking a break.

i got there completely by accident. Theres a path from one of the gyms that takes you up the mountainside, i wanna say it's on the west side

I'm going pretty slowly. I've only just beaten the bug gym, and found the crab titan but haven't fought it yet.

I'm currently outside some brightly lit oceanside city. The Pokemon were kicking my butt a bit, they're all several levels higher than my team. Had to run for the poke center and almost got wiped out by one of those electric birds I accidentally stepped on. lol

god this last part of the game after beating all 3 storylines is such a fucking drag. restricted to walking everywhere in a big ass area and don't you dare leave

Got 2 gym badges, 2 titans and a team star boss down.

Ooh found that peninsula of power someone said existed

Wake up babe, new Jrose11 solo run just dropped

Anyone else doing multiplayer? Been playing with my gf and every time we join each others game we warp to a random Poke Center. Like we'll go to the exact same center, join the game, then both warp across the map. Only a minor inconvenience but still, why...

Also we're gonna have fun making ridiculous sandwiches.

I can't believe they did another singing scene with no VAs

dude, this bird titan is a real asshole dropping all these boulders

you actually got hit by them? wtf

I thought I could do it without Koriadon like a fool. anyway went up there kicked it's ass then caught it for good measure, by the by for people don't know you can catch the titans after their battle they'll be sitting there waiting for you to challenge them, it's worth your while if you're dex hunting and if you want it to teach it things like stop trampling people or stop dropping boulders.

Anyway after that little debacle I got lost and ended up fighting a level 54 female dragonair with an electric type terraization, it was a long and brutal fight but I managed to capture it. Too bad I can't use it. I only just be Iono.

Got 1 Team Star battle left, I like the Star Captains but the base raids are kind of underwhelming. Wish there was more of a puzzle element to the bases. The whole anti-bullying story is kind of lame tho.

I think I'm lost. My Pokemon are mid 20s (only have 2 badges so highest level that will obey me is 30) and I'm fucking up every trainer and wild Pokemon I run into. Then after wrecking the free for all in the fire camp the leader strolls up and whoops my ass

have you done any titans/other team star?

Rock/flying titan, electric/grass/bug gym, and dark team star are all lower level things than fire team star

What level is the fire star? I need to do that one asap

27

My Quaxwell was about level 27 and my other pokemon slightly lower, and I barely won against the fire star boss lol.

Why is there a random ultra ball in the last Titan cutscene >_>

I thought I was ready for Great Tusk. I was not. Neither was Arzen. Guess he scales to your team rather than the titan because he got btfo'd lol.

Luckily Froslass was *just* strong enough to not get OHKO'd, and I had enough badges for her to not disobey as often, so I was able to use my entire team as fodder to keep her alive and finish the job. Frost Breath is an absolutely hilarious move to have this early, she one-shotted the flying titan

I saw a Dusk Ball in one of them. Just figured it my Froslass's ball and they were just chillin lol

Using a series of obnoxious cliff shimmies and the game not understanding gravity, I managed to get to the top of the ice mountain & northeast region without the appropriate titan power ups.

Man...I can't get any of my friends to answer me. I just got my metal coat and I want to turn my Scyther into a Scizor. Why do my favorite Pokemon need to be traded just to get them? /= Gengar and Scizor...

Just unlocked 5 and 6 star tera raids before the daily reset

My team at the moment:
Lv28 Crocalor
Lv28 Kilowattrel
Lv27 Cyclizar
Lv26 Barraskewda
Lv27 Pawniard
Lv26 Hypno

After today, I now have 2 gym badges and 1 star badge on top of all 5 titans done, plus a few of my Pokemon have evolved now too. Between the AEW show tonight and a whole day of football tomorrow, I'll be busy with other stuff and probably won't get another good play session in until Monday.

I got the double pack to split with my little bro and he's having a blast

I've been playing in chunks so I've only gotten the bug gym badge, but he's way further and I'm really glad he's enjoying it

just did 5 star eevee and it went down so fast lol

The Nemona battle after the normal gym almost had me.

Melted down a bunch of Bronzor into armor to make megaman evolve. Nice, solid addition to the team. Running Will o Wisp and Firespin on it, almost makes it feel like a Scholar from FF14, just pinging dots on pokemon. Lots of fun <___<

I've completely neglected the Bully la Bully sidequests. Was really surprised by the car pokemon. >_>
