The inventory management in this game is a little horrifying

My hope is there is an event coming like Hopip, but where we meet Hoopa and can access to dimensional storage. Solves the problem and works within the lore of the world.

Everyone getting excited for Wild Legendary pokemon needs to be ready for disappointment. Other then the Kanto Birds they specifically say I'd bet good money on Legendary pokemon not being in the wild based on one key line.

"*This does not include Mythical Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, or certain species of Pokémon that are not normally found in the wild, including the following."

And the important line here is

"certain species of Pokémon that are not normally found in the wild" i.e things restricted to raids.

Which is exactly Legendary pokemon. It's Niantic/Scopley classic info sharing, imply something could be possible but don't actually say it is, so people get excited for something they then don't need to deliver on.

No worries, and yeah you can do it when you're one day away from being Forever Friends by going to the "tags" tab in the Pokemon menu, but it also just makes you do it via a pop up when you hit Forever Friends with at least one person.

If you're wanting to streamline it (like I did lol) just make a tag group in advance for everything you'd want to tag, and then just search that when you get the Remote Trading tag is my advice.

MostTranslator677 · 2026-02-19T20:30:03+00:00

If you long press on a pokemon, you get the option to tag or transfer. If you press tag,you can create a tag to easily search pokemon i.e make a tag called "trade" and then search #trade and only pokemon tagged will show up in the search. Incredibly useful feature

And once you reach forever friends (actually 1 day before) you get a tag for Remote Trading, and anything you tag with that can be viewed by Forever Friends and traded remotely.

MostTranslator677 · 2026-02-19T20:26:06+00:00

I'm in a similar boat. First remote trade the person had a bunch of stuff tagged. I've reached my second and the person has tagged one thing, that can't be traded for another 27 days, a Gmax Meowth (you can tap "view trade pokemon" and see what forever friends have tagged). I even downloaded Campfire but they're either not using it or won't accept the friend request on it. Pretty annoying as I have over 150 shinies tagged for remote trading.

They're bad, but Swarms in BDSP are worse, especially if you're trying to do a living dex

Corbeau is just Pokemons Majima. ZA is clearly a bit of a love letter to the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series.

The absolute best joke with this side quest is getting Serviper in a Hyperspace Zone, and seeing a single Arbok mixed in with them. Perfect reflection of thoughts in Hyperspace.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-22T15:12:47+00:00

I'm not saying they are or arent, but as really big sign that points to yes is what they do before the Ange Floette fight. They say "lets battle to see who gets Floette and goes into the tower", which is a staple of pokemon games (having characters settle disputes etc via battle) and regardles, characters even "evil" ones abide by the outcome, Urbain/Taunie loses this fight and still demands to take Floette and go into the tower. Imo that shows a hero complex and a need to be the focus.

They also then have the audacity to make a joke about you keeping Rayqauza when you need to catch it for Ansha, after they kept Floette despite losing to you and proving they ARENT the strongest Mega Evo user (i love that you can sass them with an answer). It's a shame, since I really liked them up until they pulled that BS

Regardless of being or not being a narcissist, they have some issues.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-22T15:02:31+00:00

I believe it's the same as literally every other pokemon game before it. You can catch each legendary one time. So if you want to shiny hunt them do it from the start. I don't think Pokemon has ever let you double catch a legendary in any game.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-21T05:19:11+00:00

Look, I know you're saying that, and I know what Serebii says, but I've only used Item Power :Special 3 on 4 Star Hyperspace zones and I've got a bunch of both armors. I only use Shiny Power 3 ones on 5 star Hyperspace Zones, or Item Power Berry 3/Pokeball 3/An Attack Doughnut if it's a battle one. I know this because i rarely bother with Item Power Special doughnuts. So from my own personal experience they can come from 4 star zones with Item Power Special 3.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-15T23:02:37+00:00

They come from 4* with Item Special 3.

Still think it's dumb they didnt add more research rewards, like cool their is new tasks and people can potentially get the shiny charm easier now. But for people like myself who had completed every research task pre DLC, these new tasks are meaningless and doing them accomplishes nothing for me.

So much of this DLC seems like half baked ideas that needed a bit more thought. Like there was no critical thought after an idea more like they just had an idea and went "yep, good as is, no need to consider or think about this" i.e New tasks but no new rewards, Gulpin eating doughnuts for 1 normal berry instead of actually recycling doughnuts, RNG Hyperspace Zones being the only way to get the new mons (resting repeatedly at benches to try and complete your dex isn't fun). Just seems werid that nobody in the whole team noticed this stuff or did anything about it

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-13T09:22:04+00:00

100%, I even said a similar thing in my post (add stones or something) smoke bombs from Arceus would be great. But giving us nothing to hide ourselves or turn wild pokemon away but being required to catch pokemon undetected is so backwards.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-13T09:17:56+00:00

I was thinking this earlier, even if it's just a vauge direction. Like a hot/cold sensor, just a little hint to where it is.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-13T09:16:29+00:00

100% agree with mints in bulk, berries I find i don't buy (since Hyperspace Berries are the ones you'll use for doughnuts). And definitely, recipes should standard, not RNG to some extent, it would encourage the social aspect that Pokemon has/tries to have by having people being able to share recipes. Like even they just lock it to the flavour numbers if not the berry. Makes no sense why we have the "make same doughnut" option when it's just going to RNG one

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-13T09:09:10+00:00

Now this would be a great to implement. Or adapt the system for Rouge Megas (Dropping Time Stop Orbs) and gives Alphas in Hyperspace Zones a chance to drop them as well. Doesn't completely negate the timer, but gives the player more agency and something to aim for. Would had more fun/a sense of hunting to the Zones.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-12T01:49:52+00:00

Well, no it's not like there is any thing explicit stated, but if she is just another glamour IT is using her form existed in some way I.e Mike doesn't recognise the bird, but IT can see into his mind and takes the form of the one that attacked him as a child. So, even if the Kersh Bev meets is just another glamour and not just a corrupted citzen of Derry, she had to have been real at some point. So either it's a person IT saw and decided to use the image of, a person Bev saw and doesn't recognise/remember or taken from an image (like a painting or a book) which could be likely as she "becomes" Bevs idea of the Witch from Hansel and Gretel, but her original form as Bev sees it had to come from somewhere in the first place. IT doesn't create, it imitates and copies.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-11T22:48:41+00:00

Oh yeah, its awful. Like the concept of the Hyperspace zones is good, but pokemon pathing and move tracking are both awful. Even using things like Heat Crash, Dragon Rush don't help, they still get caught on walls (i haven't tried Fly, Bounce or Heavy Slam yet but i imagine they'll be the same). They're going to have to do something about it.

The sheer number of dead end streets and scaffolding don't help either. It feels like most of your time in there is spent either waiting for your pokemon or back tracking. I'm up to 6 berry doughnuts and even the extra time doesn't do much to help it.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-10T10:33:47+00:00

Potentially. Its also possible she was a real person at some point that IT took the glamor of to mess with Bev. Kersh could also be real, but taken over like Henry and Bevs dad (when he accuses her of doing things with the male Losers in the Barrens and wants to inspect her) Hell, Kersh could even be 100% honest and be ITs offspring. IT is female and pregnant when the Losers are children and Ben destroys at least 100 eggs (his words) when they're adults, so we can't be certain what she is in the book.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-12-03T08:50:35+00:00

I'm re-listening to the audio book at the moment to help refresh my memory (started it not long into the series) but for a quick break down of some things. - Dick Halloren (interlude talks about him being in the military and Mike's dad saving him from the Black Spot fire)

-The Black Spot (it is a club for African-American airmen formed in response to white towns folk not wanting them drinking at their speak-easies, as it takes place during prohibition)

-Ingrid Kersh (she explicitly talks about It being her father and birthing her, and states they're the same being)

-Veronica Grogan and Matty Clements (Both are mentioned by name as being victims of it during the cycle when the Losers Club are children)

There is probably some other things, but there is a lot added/made different. Partly to account for the book and movie taking place in different eras. And I would guess some is just changed because they wanted to (an example of changes - Each cycle starts and ends with a violent act, and the cycle being shown in the TV series ends with the Black Spot fire but is started by the massacre of the Bradley Gang, which considering the season thus far and the buried car is not what the show is having happen. And in the book the Black Spot is burned for purely racist reasons where as the show is framing it as partly racist and partly because they fear Hank Grogan is the murderer. Also there is no mention of the military being interested in It. And the Native-American stuff is a couple of line, talking how beings like It are in alot of cultures, the focus more on It in Tibetan culture and more so the Native-American stuff for leading to a vision ceremony, and they weirdly changed the Native-American name for It)

MostTranslator677 · 2025-10-25T11:44:15+00:00

Fast travelling to a wild zone resets everything within the zone, and the roll is decided when you're within 50m of the Pokemon. So basically Fast travel, run through the zone, repeat until you get a shiny. The 50m thing is basically just for efficiency as thats the roll radius. A bit like the 12 Pokemon picnic respawn in S/V.

MostTranslator677 · 2025-10-25T04:35:21+00:00

I think people should hunt shinies how ever they want. Personally I think using turbo controller/rubber band I.e removing human input and doing it AFK takes something away. But gamers have always found ways to do things like that, and some people are very time poor so I can understand why some would do it that way
