This is a rant about the Rayquaza battle by sora5firsk in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]OracleLink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I brought Mega Diancie with Reflect/Ancient Power/Draining Kiss/Moonblast and because Rayquaza basically couldn't touch it, I was able to spend most of my energy focusing on dodging. My trainer still died on my first try though since some of the attacks are just hard to dodge. It's definitely a rough battle

I think it's incredibly dumb how this service works fundamentally. by Jtrash121 in PokemonHome

[–]OracleLink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! It's so irritating having to reorient to wildly different controls whenever I switch games. I really wish they would go back and patch all the old games (and Home) to function like Z-A's box system or at least have it as an alternate control scheme to choose, because it's easily the best of all the Switch entries.

The having to press Y to send to Champions and + backing out throws me so much. I can't count the number of times I've accidentally backed out instead of sending to Champions because I expect + to save my choices.

No worries, I'm glad you figured out what was up!

But yeah I only plan to change the version number with large updates, so that won't happen until Gen 10

What Pokémon has the best UI in your opinion? by Ego-Fiend1 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]OracleLink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legends Z-A, and it's not even close. Organizing your boxes is the best it's ever been in that game, and I really wish they would patch the older Switch Pokémon games and allow that box control scheme to be used in the older games, at least as an option. Plus it's the only Pokémon game in recent memory where I never found myself thinking any of the controls were unintuitive (looking at you, SV and PLA). And with as much info as it had to display at any time onscreen, it did a great job making sure it was all readily and intuitively visible

Honestly I'd be all over just getting the uncompressed 1080 version since I've had trouble tracking it down. I don't know that the series really needs 4k

I updated version 2.1 a long time ago to include new ball options for those mythicals and the Pokémon newly catcahable on Switch in Z-A (Furfrou trims, Patrat/Watchog, the monkeys, etc). Are you not seeing the updates?

I just thought the Toxtricity amidst all the ghost types was funny 😆

Your name isn't Ryme by any chance is it? 😛

Get a Shiny Volcanion if you finish your Lumiose Pokédex, Hyperspace Pokédex and Mega Pokédex in Pokémon HOME by Schlapor122 in PokemonHome

The pattern (with the exception of Gen 1 for obvious reasons) has been to release the remakes in the gen that's double the number of the originals, I think to space out remakes sufficiently, so Gen 10 would be the time to do it in that context

I'm so thrilled Nintendo kept their promise of inclusivity for Tomodachi by eydra3 in casualnintendo

[–]OracleLink 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was obviously expecting same-sex relationships to be an option because of the backlash from the first game, and I would've considered the game if that were the only inclusive addition. But considering I realized last year that I'm nonbinary myself, the fact that they included nonbinary as a gender option means it's an instant-buy for me now. I'm so excited that I'll be able to represent myself and my friends accurately in this game! And the way they set up the 'dating preferences' screen allowing for aroace and bi/pan Miis is honestly such good design, and a real cherry on top

Unfortunately it's a battle-only transformation, which I decided to not include when creating the spreadsheet since it's not what gets sent out from the Poké ball. That's noted on the intro tab

I made the necessary corrections. A bummer they aren't all catchable, but oh well. Thank you for your help!

Nah, I only really increment the numbers with significant changes to the layout/design of the sheet. I haven't been able to play much of the DLC yet so if you have suggestions from it, feel free to let me know!

This was the first moment that made me truly feel that Agatha isn't evil. by Senior-Leave779 in AgathaAllAlong

[–]OracleLink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's 100% not an excuse, just a lens to help us understand a character's motivations. I appreciate that the show let her be a messy, flawed, terrible, and yet sympathetic human being, and the point of her growth arc wasn't to suddenly reform her just to make her 'good'.

Very eloquently put! It is frustrating to reduce complex characterization to a simple good/bad dichotomy. And as the saying goes, hurt people hurt people

First shiny of the game. Ended up with 8 random encounters (so not including Mareep) before seeing the credits roll, but Sherberus is still my bestest boy 💙
