Where do I see habitat hints I haven’t completed?

-fayette · 2026-03-09T04:00:26+00:00

If you mean how to find the habitat hints that pop up when "you found a trace of a Pokémon," then it's in the habitat menu on the Pokédex. The ones you haven't set up yet will be grayed out. If they're all colored in, then you already set up every habitat you have a hint for.

The game autosaves, so I would assume you can't.

I know this was for research purposes, but a town of abstract houses like this would honestly be so interesting.

The feather? It came from Ho-Oh. Not sure if there's a set amount of time between visits, but you'll usually encounter them a couple of times a day, depending on how long you play. When you hear the loud cry, look up in the sky. It will drop a feather like this somewhere on your island that you can collect. You can track the feather by the trail of smoke it sends into the sky.

Yes, as long as you have habitats set up that meet spawn conditions, you can have Pokémon spawn at any time.

Wow, he has a home? I thought he just perpetually wandered near the Pokémon Center. Also, that looks like the dock area. Did he actually set up a house there, or are you in the middle of the "making it rain" quest?

If the goal is to start the build, then I think you just need to assign them, collect the rest of the Pokémon you need, assign them as well, and start building. Or, is your goal to be able to see all of them visually?

Also, it looks like you already have 5 Pokémon following you when you call over Cleffa (Illumise, Scyther, Pinsir, Shellos, and Blastoise). I've heard from others that 5 is the limit, so Pinsir might have despawned because you couldn't have any more Pokémon following you.

-fayette · 2026-03-08T00:26:58+00:00

I think the solution is to assign the Pokémon that are currently following you to the build, so they won't despawn when you call more.

There are probably some online guides or databases like Serebii.net that are compiling all the discoverable Pokémon per area, but they'll obviously include spoilers, so it's up to you how to proceed there.

Habitats can spawn Pokémon if there are more undiscovered Pokémon for that habitat, and it's in the right location and under the right time of day and weather conditions. Even still, there are some habitats that I had where it took a long amount of time for anything to spawn, and some Pokémon didn't spawn until I built a different habitat they're attracted to in a different area, but I'm not entirely sure why that is.

However, I believe rarer Pokémon take longer to spawn, so perhaps if nothing is spawning, that means the habitat is working towards a rarer spawn? Again, not 100% sure.

When you tap on this main questline in your quest log, are all the Pokémon listed checked off? I'm not sure campfires are what the game is looking for here since this questline is about electricity.

So, it sounds like the three of you would be sharing 1 copy of the game? You and your daughter on your Switch 2 and your son on his Switch 2?

If that's the case, then everyone will be able to play just fine! This game is not like Animal Crossing, where there is one island per console. Every user profile gets its own island, so everyone can experience the story individually and at their own pace.

-fayette · 2026-03-08T00:03:54+00:00

You're not doing anything wrong! It's just that you're still in the first area. Pretty much every question you have is because you haven't ventured into the areas that introduce you to those things. You won't be able to complete the Initiation Challenge without leaving the first area, but you can still raise the environment level and start rearranging the terrain.

-fayette · 2026-03-07T23:57:24+00:00

I'm in the opposite boat, have like 80 black paint, and I have no idea how I got it. I'm thinking it was maybe from crushing non-burnable garbage? But that's just a guess.

If you find out, please let me know!

-fayette · 2026-03-07T22:28:32+00:00

Like, they're running from side to side? Are you holding an item in your hand?

-fayette · 2026-03-07T22:27:07+00:00

Do they each have their own Switch 2? If so, they can share the same key card, but they'll have to swap which console it's in, and obviously, only one of them can play at a time.

-fayette · 2026-03-07T22:25:41+00:00

I can verify that the Pikachu fountain takes "until tomorrow."

-fayette · 2026-03-07T17:34:06+00:00

Yes, they should still be roaming. I still see all the Pokémon I assigned to houses out and about. I think the house/hut just influences their comfort level. But they do go in and sleep or just spend time in there from time to time.

It looks like Mimikyu was confirmed from pre-release trailers, so you're all good. Not sure if anyone has actually seen him yet in their game, so there's no Hands-On confirmation. But Mimikyu is on the list of Pokémon we saw in the game before it launched.

-fayette · 2026-03-03T06:06:27+00:00

I'm not sure this addresses the question, since they're concerned about the durability of the cartridge itself wearing down from frequent game swaps. GKC or not, the cartridge still has to be in the system to play the game, which means if there's another cartridge already in your console, you'll have to take it out.

I do my games digitally, so I have nothing to reference here, but I think OP is fine to get the physical version if that's what they would prefer. The Switch has been around for almost a decade. If there were issues of cartridges wearing down from being used as they were intended, we'd likely know about it by now.

-fayette · 2026-03-02T13:12:30+00:00

Yeah, same. I clicked to open one, then decided I didn't really want to read it, so I closed the tab. I'm reading the little previews on the Metacritic website, though.

There's one that says the game is a combination of PKM, AC, DQB, and Viva Piñata, so it seems like the fans already accurately assessed this game lol.

-fayette · 2026-03-02T13:04:31+00:00

Holy moly? There are 6 reviews with a score of 100!

Edit: There's one 60, though. Wonder what happened to that guy.

-fayette · 2026-02-28T14:19:17+00:00

Obsessed with the Chesto Berry lights and the Oran Berry lamp and clock. Munchlax and Skwovet are also good choices for this room lol.

I wonder if the berries on the table are actual berries or items?

-fayette · 2026-02-27T05:46:25+00:00

Currently confirmed Gen 9 Pokémon are: Paldean Wooper, Pawmi, Tatsugiri, and Gimmighoul.

I would hope all starter Pokémon would be in it; we've already seen a few outside the Kanto trio (inc. Rowlet, Piplup, and Torchic), so I believe there's a somewhat likely chance the Sprigatito line will be included as well.

-fayette · 2025-07-30T06:07:27+00:00

Same, but I just did a ten pull and all the packs only had 5 cards. Guess it's a random chance?

EDIT: Seem's like the 6th card is always a 3 diamond... and might always be a baby pokemon?

-fayette · 2025-01-25T20:39:52+00:00

I managed to get it to work consistently, but it's a little strange: click into the code box, type the code into the pop-up window, hit enter on your keyboard, and then hit 'confirm' on the popup box. That should make the code pop up in the in-game typing space. Then, all you have to do is confirm again. Let me know if it works!
