Which starter for your first playthrough?



Mark your spoilers.

I feel like we're still in the mood of more Pokemon discussion so hey, why not.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Nice!

I caught a shiny Psyduck myself like on my...1st? 2nd day of playing. Haven't met any since though.

OTOH, sometimes I thought I found a shiny but nope it's just a normal Pokemon that looks different due to the lighting.

You gotta keep your eyes peeled or you might miss them, since shinies don't have an overworld audio cue like in Arceus.

Bruxish is one of those that absolutely should've made it in because it hadn't been available on the Switch yet. Unfortunately, after 5 Switch games, we still have Pokemon that haven't had a Switch appearance yet.

I think roughly 100 Pokmon if we don't count BDSP? If we do, then it's mostly Gen V, plus Furfrou, Minior and the Toucannon line.

Larry is easily the best gym leader we have gotten in a long time

I cheered when he came out for the Elite 4 battle as well

I think GameFreak knew he would be a hit. There's that response you can give Geeta when she asks where you want to fight Nemona, "Larry's Restaurant." She also asks at one point who your favorite gym leader is and if you say Larry she actually looks disappointed which is hilarious

I became a Champion!

That was pretty tough, glad I didn't overlevel.

Man, I was plenty surprised to see 3 new Pokemon in the E4 and Champion battles. That Dragon/Ice Pokemon, the Bisharp evolution (I got spoiled that there was an evo, but neither its name nor how it looks, and man it's badass), and Geeta's final Pokemon.

I feel like the Champion wouldve been way tougher if the two Pokmon you mentioned were swapped in her team order

the ability on her final Pokmon was wasted, and the other one wouldve been more valuable as a closer because of its ability

they come in a variety of sizes. there's an NPC (forget who/where) that tells you if your pokemon is above or below average size

apparently pokemon traded in from Legends Arceus will keep their big size if they are an Alpha?

Yeah, the size difference now shows up in the actual game models. Some meal powers actually make you more likely to find bigger or smaller Pokemon.

Huh, good point. Though that might make her much more difficult. Perhaps that's why they ordered it so?

really don't like that all major encounters in the Victory Road storyline lead to a very obvious terrastalization of their last pokemon into a pure tera-type that is always "as advertised" (such as bug gym does bug, ice gym does ice, etc). Makes it incredibly easy to prep a 1-hit KO and makes the big "finale" section of the fights with the different music seem very anti-climactic every single time

give me some more overpowered dual types with surprising moves dammit

how are you level 70 already? I got all the badges, all the star camps, and all the titans and my starter is only level 55 >_>

my highest level is Kingambit at 61, and I used to a ton of exp items on him to evolve when he was a lowly Pawniard

I keep making swaps because I dunno what to use yet. I swapped out Lechonk (terrible I know) so at the moment Ive got Tinkatink, Pawmi, Klawf, Maschiff, Fidough and Crocalor. Pawmis defenses suck even for a base form and its so fragile it almost always just gains Exp from Exp Share.

it cuts the exp you get but its fast, free if youre higher level/have a type advantage, and is much less of a hassle manually fighting everything. it doesnt count toward evolving mons though :/

lol, just did the Orthworm titan and I had Toedscool in the lead, not realizing Arven would also use one, and surprisingly I won with just that. I forgot about Earth Eater during the first part, but on the second I paralyzed it and both of us just spammed Hex until it died. Easiest titan so far.

also down to just the last 2 gyms and 1 star left; I don't use autobattle but have been exploring everywhere and catching every new dex entry, so my team's at around 60 atm which feels pretty OP... hopefully the endgame ups the challenge a bit like I've heard

team ended up as Skeledirge/Flamigo/Garganacl/Toedscruel/Revavroom/Baxcalibur. Toedscruel makes for a real nice catching lead bc it gets Spore by level-up and has surprisingly good speed and bulk (like the original Tentacruel, I suppose)

So I finished the game. Really loved the feel of the endgame, the descent, plot revelations were genuinely surprising, the way they played with the mechanics a bit at the end was fun. Also assuming you were unspoiled, the prehistoric Pokemon having totally different types meant you couldn't rely on your previous knowledge to hit them with SE moves every time. Very clever little design quirk.

A lot of thought and love went into this game. Really good stuff. Wish there were more of those properly animated cutscenes though.

its genuinely insane that theres no voice acting

It doesnt even have to be every NPC! Just the cutscenes / major fights would be fine! Every fucking game has it at this point and unlike the models/animation, theres nothing about Pokmon that should make voice acting more difficult than the average game.
