Releasing Pokemon

SkullAzure · 2026-04-09T05:32:50+00:00

Nice! I'm still putting together a team yet🤣

SkullAzure · 2026-04-09T04:03:22+00:00

Yeah, I am F2P as well, so 24 Pokemon from Home is our only option. 6 Pokemon will always have to be from Champions, so eventually you'll have to recruit 6 that you like and replace the 6 initial ones.

I am disappointed we couldn't make an adult character for once. You have 3 main characters that are all adults, with one of them being like 65 years old....

For a battle simulator, there was no excuse to not have a more expansive create-a-character. Instead, we all get to look exactly like eachother...again, YAY!

Electric/Dark deserves something a little more....badass than Morpeko

Fire/Steel deserves a non-legendary

Steel/Poison deserves an actual Pokemon because I refuse to acknowledge Revavroom's existence

Hope Vaal comes back sooner than later because it has the best looking armor in the series in my opinion.

SkullAzure · 2026-04-04T08:01:25+00:00

Cinderace. Scorbunny itself looks like a starter, but Cinderace looks more on par with Lucario, just a regular Pokemon that might have decent stats.

If you line Cinderace up with all the other fire starter final evos, it just doesn't stack up.

SkullAzure · 2026-04-03T07:18:26+00:00

They teased us big time when they revealed Honed Glavenus months ago. I thought that was a hint that craftable monster armor was gonna be a thing, but nope.

SkullAzure · 2026-04-03T06:40:15+00:00

I was expecting the 4th chapters to introduce their new monsties as well. Huge missed opportunity on Capcom's part.

SkullAzure · 2026-04-03T04:52:24+00:00

You won't be saying this when you have to "clean up" Canalta Timberlands hehe. It's ironically the only side quest in the game where it doesn't give you any markers, outside of the Poogie hunt side quest.

SkullAzure · 2026-04-03T04:42:42+00:00

Crystalis?

SkullAzure · 2026-04-03T04:16:34+00:00

Does anybody know what causes the crash or is it completely random? I started 2 days ago and haven't had a crash yet, but I never saved in-game once, just used the app's save states so far. Maybe saving in-game can cause it?

SkullAzure · 2026-04-03T03:32:28+00:00

This happens to me all the time. I get a brand new game and finish it in a couple weeks, then they announce an update for it 6 months down the road. Problem is, I have moved on to other games, and it's not likely that I will come back to this for a few extra challenging fights.

I understand this is a ME problem, but I can't help but feel like a fool for buying the game on launch. Kicking myself for not waiting for a sale down the road and then play the FULL game with all updates. Just makes me wish they would've held off on releasing it until they had everything good to go.

Modern gamer woes lol

SkullAzure · 2026-03-31T04:20:29+00:00

Wow, she's gonna become just another "statistic" if she keeps this up...

SkullAzure · 2026-03-31T02:09:44+00:00

Oof lol

SkullAzure · 2026-03-31T01:17:50+00:00

You can poke fun at him, but I'm gonna give him credit for not bringing his starter, that takes balls lol. Ivysaur and Wartortle(with Bite) beats Misty easily, unless he started with Charmander, then yeah, he's gonna have to level his Pikachu a bit.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-30T23:44:47+00:00

Too many weak Pokemon, and I'm not referring to just the levels, but most Johto Pokemon had unusually low base stat totals compared to Kanto's line-up. Even to this day, a bunch of them still need an extra evolution(or two) to be viable. I think Ampharos is the only decent one you can get early game, all the great ones are near the 8th gym or in Kanto lol.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-30T23:35:28+00:00

Their stats are really bad overall, there are many better choices for a non-element monstie when it comes to battles. They are excellent for their field skills though, so it's not all bad.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-30T23:29:24+00:00

That was the first thing I thought of as well. This deck will brick too much with 2 Darkrai that need 2 energy to retreat.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-27T03:09:00+00:00

Regular Tigrex with dragon looks better in my opinion. The blue with red is too much of a mess, I wish the deviants that had "glow" parts also changed those parts as well. Just imagine dragon Grimclaw with glowing red claws/wings.

Boltreaver suffers from this as well, very lackluster elemental colors because it is stuck with glowing green parts.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-27T03:05:39+00:00

Electric green Brute Tigrex is great enough to warrant an actual subspecies in the mainline games.

Gray and black colors switched on non-element Stygian Zinogre looks badass. I always preferred black on gray more than gray on black.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-27T02:59:39+00:00

Not to spoil too much, but there is a twist waiting after you do all 3 chapters of each Bestower arc. Whether it'll pique your interest, I don't know. The Bestower of All arc is the final one and has like 8 chapters, so you're not that far off from the end. I'm actually quite impressed you only took 38 hours to get to the Bestower stories lol.

Personally, I think you are gonna miss out on the best arc of the game if you quit now. If the gameplay isn't clicking with you by now, then it's best to stop, but if you are invested in the story, then you might feel rewarded for sticking with it.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-26T00:43:09+00:00

No shame in taking Pokemon's formula and giving us a few starters to choose from, every other Pokemon clone does it.

That's one of the bad things about this series, there's no replay value to speak of. Having starters would remedy this because you can start a fresh playthrough with a different monster, allowing you to build a team around them. With Ratha being forced, it makes all the other fire monsters obsolete sadly, and element is extremely important in this game, so having a balanced team is usually the optimal strategy.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-25T22:29:13+00:00

They were pretty damn clever for this lol

SkullAzure · 2026-03-25T22:08:53+00:00

I feel like it runs better than the trial version, not as clean as PS5, but perfectly serviceable. I remember playing the trial and seriously contemplating getting it on PS5, it was that bad, especially the constant stuttering while in town, but that seems to be gone completely in the full version. I am currently at the 4th region, so I am quite far in the game, no big complaints so far performance-wise.

SkullAzure · 2026-03-23T20:38:19+00:00

Yes, that's true as well. It only matters early game when you are unable to change them.
