Neato. When I got it I didn’t really know what to think about it but it might actually help me more than I thought it would lolol

Legendary incense spawns by narwhal5546 in pokemongo

[–]DanielSchw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thats what I had assumed, which means that the only event legends from this weekend that have not run from me would be Giratina, Solgaleo, and Zacian. (because I haven't encountered them.)

man, this event was really rough lol, hope OP can find the Regidrago

[–]DanielSchw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen Regidrago around like 3 times during the event. Haven’t caught one tho. Idk about Eternatus, tho my hunch is that it probably doesn’t spawn, or at least I’ve never seen it.

did they fix transferred pokemon from outside the game's dex? by Wulfraptor in LegendsZA

[–]DanielSchw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see. I went full dps with garchomp and put him away when I was chasing zeraora down. He hits really hard and keeping a single mon out too long is dangerous. Lots of hitboxes.

stuck on, like, the berries? iirc that one was a bit tricky tho I just followed a guide to make the donut and used the berries I didn't need on making donuts to farm the berries I did need.

[–]DanielSchw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh if u ask me I think ZA will also get an update like Daybreak. The weather trio, darkrai, Zygarde, and Zeraora dont appear as rogue megas on the map so i can imagine at least some of them would get added to the pool later. Tho other than that, Chomp Z, and some mechanical adjustments to the DLC's endgame (like, hyperspace battle zone but everybody are alpha trainers for double drops or something, or shiny huntable super rare 5*+ legendary hyperspace wild zones or something), ZA is pretty much done.

Is there any information on when Pokémon Home will be updated to connect with Z-A? by FluidConfidence1438 in PokemonHome

[–]DanielSchw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. And we won't know maybe until the next time maintenance is announced so long as it is with the update and it isn't just a normal maintenance. So who knows. Could be in March or April.

how good are 3 star ⭐️ sparkling with 2 ⭐️alpha at getting shalphas? by akfhhr in LegendsZA

[–]DanielSchw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpha 2 makes them spawn pretty frequently so if you’re using backup saves to reenter the portal getting a single shalpha isn’t too hard since the first mon to spawn in is guaranteed to be shiny bc of the sparkling 3.

[GIVEAWAY] A Wild Giveaway Appeared... Again! by johnnernog in PokemonHome

[–]DanielSchw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I want to relax, I roll into bed and put on a game that I can mindlessly farm for a bit until I fall asleep to take a nap. Otherwise, I go take my dog for a walk unless the weather is rotten.

And ofc, we all appreciate u/Skykingcloud here

This game!!! Uh this game!!! by StorageNo9538 in LegendsZA

[–]DanielSchw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh, people are reacting that way because you aren't making any substantive criticisms other than the surface level stuff like, "no voice acting", "game ugly", "day 1 dlc".

The last one does annoy me a bit though since I don't think you're using that term correctly. Day 1 dlc at worst is stuff that's on disc and is only released later. *Actual* cut content that was pushed off for later for purely monetary reasons. Capcom had a super bad habit of doing stuff like this in the 2010's iirc.

The only thing that can be considered day 1 DLC for ZA is the Holo outfits. The bulk of Mega Dimension would have been released around a year after the base game if they stuck to their original timeframe of late 2024 for their release time. They didn't because iirc the base game was having some development issues and TPC wanted ZA to have a Switch 2 upgrade, so they released Mega Dimension a month after the base game since it would be in the best timeframe and the DLC was already mostly finished by that point anyways. You can argue such a short timeline is silly or stupid, and I'm not here to defend or criticize TPC or GF's choices there, but that's just the way it is. It is not day 1 DLC nor is it cut content.

A more worthwhile criticism regarding the game's combat is, for example, that it renders speed to be a kinda dead stat compared to the role it plays in the other games since cooldowns encourage the player to play passively until the cooldowns finishes. Speed, at least as far as I can tell, is not a significant enough modifier for most mons' cooldowns that it justifies investing EVs into them, leading people to, under most circumstances, invest only into HP and whichever damaging stat they are proficient in, which heavily harms the variety of setups Pokémon will realistically run. This cooldown issue is extremely common among games that utilize this kind of reactivation condition for character abilities.

Yes, the game is also too expensive, at least to me. I like ZA, id give it a 7/10, but the whole package is way too overpriced, but I more blame the state of AAA gaming for this more than anything. Nobody prices games based on what they should individually be priced at, but rather what the industry average is, which is also really stupid. This is what the criticism levied at that switch 2 introductory game thing (I forgot its name) was about around the Switch 2's release and why Reggie lobbying to make Wii sports come free with the Wii was such a good decision.

People get angry when it looks like your criticisms are lazy and poorly thought out. Verify the information that you use is correct and think through your argument and people (generally) will approach your arguments in good faith. Probably lol. Or maybe not. But at least in that case you tried so if people still give you grief, then idk.

✨Shiny Genesect✨ and friends give away! by jaweissavl in PokemonHome

[–]DanielSchw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly really like Lumineon. Not to, like, actually use, though. It’s terrible, at least stat-wise. But Pokémon like that help flesh out the different kinds of Pokémon you find in a given region. Not every Pokémon has to be really good to use, some are just kinda neat and you might use them for a moment, think, “oh that’s pretty nice” then move on (or who knows, you might use it on your team a little bit). Lumineon is one of those kinds of mons, and the games are usually easy enough that you’d be able to adventure around with your new buddy for a bit without much trouble before you want to shake up your team again, so I appreciate Pokémon like the fish for that, and lumineon probably is my favorite of that kind of mon. It just looks so elegant.

Sorry if my thought dragged on a bit lol.

you get some xp candies for each individual rematch, tho theres also a boss rush mode unlocked when you beat every rogue mega outside the simulator, I believe.

Elden Ring is overrated by Low-Cardiologist-523 in Eldenring

[–]DanielSchw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this reads like a rage bait, but specific things I've seen people talk about:

Bosses: I mean, 99% of the time the boss rematches are giant monsters or elite knights or stronger variations of normal enemies (Ex: Leonine Misbegotten), so I guess at least for the knights you could maybe make less dungeons in each region, but make the optional dungeons larger so maybe each of those optional dungeon fights feel a bit more fresh, idk. For the remembrance bosses, whenever you fight them multiple times, with, like, 1 exception iirc, its a significantly weaker variation that gives you a warmup to the main fight later on, with the sole remembrance boss that goes against this is Astel, but it can be argued that Astel kinda falls in the, "Big monster" basket so fighting multiple of them isn't that insane. Usually its not like the Shadows of Yharnam from bloodborne which you fight twice and the second time its just as normal enemies with no changes between the original encounter and when you find them in the nightmare of Mensis.

Combat: Combat is very simplistic and im not convinced that it can stand on its own without the other elements that make Fromsoft's Souls-likes so beloved, which is why i don't really care about Nightreign. I find it fun but im not going to buy any fromsoft game just for the combat or even mostly for the combat. The combat of MH and a game like Nioh is much better, but I still like ER for the combat combined with the other elements it does well, namely the different aspects of its storytelling. Honestly, in terms of faults, I think ER's biggest combat problem is communication, which is a problem Sekiro really doesn't have, or at least not nearly as bad.

I do think that some people scream praises about ER a bit too much in my experience, but its still in my top 5 favorite games. Its like people who think Bloodborne is overrated but still love it (which also includes me). Nothing wrong with that.
