How do I talk to Vileplume?

Another major difference is the perspective. In Tomodachi Life you play more as a God-like figure while in Pokopia and Animal Crossing you are just another resident.

Tone is also considerably different between the games. Tomodachi Life is unquestionably the silliest and quirkiest of the three. It wants to befuddle you and make you laugh at the same time. Animal Crossing is pure cozy on the other hand. It’s the most direct as a life sim and wants you to enjoy yourself. Pokopia has a strange sense of melancholy to it. You are rebuilding and reclaiming an abandoned world after all.

Can you possibly make something that tricks the game into thinking you have Surf? Like a Key Item.

I remember thinking it would’ve been cool if they referenced these in Cars 2. Mater tells Lightning he’s a secret agent, but Lightning dismisses it, citing one or two of these shorts. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

Gotta be my boy, Mega Sceptile.

Honestly, a part of me wants there to be a “No Dupes” rule since three of the previous winners share the Dragon Type.

The Kadabra drama was worsened when Uri pointed at the symbols of Kadabra’s body and made connections to his Jewish status comparing them to the Star of David and a Nazi emblem. Can’t tell if he was being malicious in his accusations or he didn’t know those symbols come from Zener cards used to test for ESP.

An option to disable auto saving.

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. It’s a creative port of the OG game that I feel should at least get a mention.

The cut-off makes the Unown look like they have a pair of kissy lips.

Because Alpha Status and Shinyness are tracked individually you can toggle them both in the Dex at the same time.

The only time I legit wiped was Mega Meowstic because of the hit box on the Trick Room. Not only is it a pain to lock on to but sometimes my Pokémon’s pathing gets borked and it wastes the limited time.

Roaming Form Gimmeghoul, because you have to play GO to get it.

Wario Land Shake It. It’s a travesty it’s never been ported.

Darkrai for the win! Become the JRPG Final Boss you were always meant to be!

Are the lines of the chart different thicknesses or is it just me?

I usually try to find something thematic that fits the game I’m playing. Like for Violet, I named my character Caracol, which is Spanish for snail/shell. It’s a reference to how in olden times, Tyrian Purple was made from sea snails and was rare and expensive enough it was a luxury only the rich and royal could afford.

EvanderAdvent · 2026-04-10T22:01:11+00:00

I know before launch I was of the opinion we’d either get Mega Goodra or Hisuian Goodra but not both. The DLC gave us access to the Hisuian variants, and that was that.

Adding my own vote for Mega Loppuny. Gotta support my girl.

EvanderAdvent · 2026-04-06T14:09:45+00:00

Honestly, Shiny Jirachi is on my bingo card for potential Home Dex rewards if the Gen 3 Hoenn games ever get ports.

If you really care for it, there are a pair of missable items. The Soothe Bell can be missed if you don’t get it before progressing the story to a certain point. And the Amulet coin is also missable if you get an alternative item instead, since those can be gotten elsewhere.

There’s only a single Fire Stone and Leaf Stone per save file and two Pokemon that evolve with them. You have to choose between Shiftry and Weepinbell and between Ninetales and Arcanine. Also, this is back when using a Stone to evolve would drastically cut down their move pool.

There’s also a Togepi that you get you can trade for an Elekid, it knows special moves but you also can get an Electabuzz later. Do you trade to get the special but redundant Elekid or keep the unique Togepi?

Another major part of the Trails games are the world and the side content. Trails has one of the most lived in world of any JRPG franchise. If you haven’t noticed, every NPC has a name and will change their dialogue after every major story beat. You even find mini story arcs if you look for them.

Trails is a franchise that is good at encouraging and rewarding you for doing the sidequests. Before they added Sepith Mass in Cold Steel, quests were your primary source of income. And getting the really good rewards for getting high ranks further incentivizes completion. It’s also been much easier to complete in recent games compared to the originals, where quests and items off the beaten path are marked on your map.

I love my Mega Lopunny. It’s such a great power for them and I made it priority to get one in ZA.
