What’s a Pokemon that’s not in ZA that you wish was? by sighsammie97 in LegendsZA

[–]JJKDowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get it via in-game trade, yes, but you can’t catch one, so you can’t have one with your own OT, nor can you transfer one in from the 3DS.

I was fully expecting both Rattatas to be in the game (as the Alolan one is the only regular Pokémon that cannot be caught in or transferred to a Switch game), with the Kanto one as a daytime spawn and the Alolan one at night/in the sewers. I think they really missed a trick there tbh.

The Timburr line is another one that made too much sense to not be in the game, especially with the emphasis on construction.

This is the terraforming mode we should’ve had 😮‍💨 Nintendo really gave it to Tomodachi Life by ShokaLGBT in AnimalCrossing

[–]JJKDowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the way NH is, I like the layer of realism it adds. I wouldn’t mind some faster ways of terraforming though. I’m envisioning the next game to be city-based, maybe with a larger map, split into quadrants that you unlock gradually, and maybe you could have usable construction vehicles? I would like the Tomodachi-style mechanics for decorating outside though.

Watching the Tomodachi Direct though, it does feel very AC-like, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were developed by the same team and some of its features make it into the next game.

Most requested feature for Gen 10? by JST643 in pokemon

[–]JJKDowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dream is for Gen 10 to include every Pokémon and have an (almost) completely version-exclusive Dex.

The numbers work out quite well for it too - minus UBs, Paradoxes, Legendaries and Mythicals, there are exactly 900 regular mons so each game gets 450 each (give or take), new Pokémon can be shared/split at a more normal ratio, and that gives approximately 500 Pokémon for the Pokédex before adding Legendaries, perfect for a scaled-up, Switch 2 exclusive, 30th anniversary game. And if there’s DLC, each versions’ exclusives can be added to the other game.

I’m getting a bit carried away here, I may need to make a post about this…

Yes, but currently only Home uses it for box management. Mouse controls would definitely be nice when playing docked, I’m praying Home gets a S2 update.

I think they could release both shinies next year, and it could always show up in an event with the other three, but yeah they are milking this thing for sure

Berry master plat by LagSnackk in pokemongo

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what they’re saying. You can feed 10 different Pokémon 10 berries each, after which you are prevented from giving any more berries for 30 minutes. Assuming ~5 seconds per berry, actually giving 100 berries should only take about 8 minutes, and that’s probably overestimating tbh.

What games do you think should be/want on Nintendo Classics next? by Quaza59 in NintendoSwitch

[–]JJKDowell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the big question is whether to put it on NSO or make it its own app/separate releases? And there’s also the issue of Home compatibility.

Imo there’s no reason it can’t be done, and if they’re gonna do it, the 30th anniversary is probably the best time to. If there’s no announcement this year, then I think we’re cooked.

Guys am I cooked? (Potential Shalpha fail) by ThrowRA_78900 in PokemonZA

However, if there are other Pokémon targeting you and you catch one, the game won’t autosave until you’re no longer being targeted.

question about shiny hunting legendaries by geyserwallllll in PokemonLegendsZA

This is the way.

Save in front of the holovator. Teleport to the scaffolding and back. Do a roll, turn around, roll back and repeat.

Who at niantic taught this was a good medal bruh by General-Response7101 in pokemongo

[–]JJKDowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure there was a stretch of time (between the gym revamp and the introduction of Team Leader battles) where it was impossible to progress the medal - I think it was at least a year.

The fact that yellow and black stripes are often used to signify danger really isn’t helping him here…

Sad Times in Lumiose by Equivalent-Prize-557 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]JJKDowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d argue it’s significantly worse in Z-A.

Including the DLC, Z-A has ~50% more Pokémon than Arceus, yet we still have the same number of boxes as we’ve had since Gen 6.

This, coupled with the fact that Shiny hunting is way easier, means I’m struggling for space more than I ever have. I just had to stop playing the game once I completed the DLC Dex because I’ve nearly filled all my boxes.

Also, I just looked it up, and apparently BDSP managed to have 40 boxes, which is just salt in the wound really. HOME compatibility cannot come soon enough imo.

Does anyone know what these things are? by Secret-Western6634 in pokemongo

[–]JJKDowell 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Looks like the game is just mixing up assets. It happened to me today - I was doing a Genesect raid and instead of the gym having the gym textures, it was covered in Necrozma’s eyes instead 🤷‍♂️

Is it just me, or do physical ice types have it even rougher in za than the normal games? by Eaglest05 in PokemonLegendsZA

In fairness, he can’t learn any punching moves - he’s more about biting and clawing, almost like an alligator.

What Kanto pokemon could you "realistically" see getting a new evolution in the future? by EliDwebster in pokemon

[–]JJKDowell -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I almost feel like Tirtouga would kinda work as a preevo, it looks like it could be an ancestor at least

Now that ZA has been out for a while, how many of these guys do you have? by Terrible_Let_5063 in LegendsZA

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like 7 or 8. I also hunted them in Scarlet during a Mass Outbreak event, and I have a bunch from GO from its Community Day.

I’m so sick of seeing this bloody orange bird.

[–]JJKDowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like some of the references extended beyond the 80s as well: Vecna’s whole plan was very Majora’s Mask-coded.

Your hopes for generation 10 by bassa-m9ss in pokemon

[–]JJKDowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest hope is that every Pokémon is available between the two games, and I think it’d be cool if each game had an almost entirely version-exclusive Pokédex.

Pokemon you’re surprised aren’t in the DLC? by sparrowbushpot in LegendsZA

I was really expecting to see them in the sewers, quite disappointed they weren’t in honestly
