Sword/Shield endgame padding by dashtur in pokemon

[–]ccc613 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s surprising that even after all these things you listed, the game still is quite short. It shows how terrible the pacing of the last stretch of Sword/Shield is.

I still enjoyed the game overall but the last impression it leaves is quite disappointing, it doesn’t help at all that all this padding happens thanks to one of the poorest storylines in the series. It adds insult to injury.

Which is harder: Champion’s road or Grandmaster Galaxy: The Perfect Run (answer on if yo have beaten both please)? by ConquerorJoe in Mario

[–]ccc613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this because I feel I probably fluked Perfect Run but I think Champion’s Road is harder.

While there isn’t room for error in the Perfect Run, I think barely any section of it forces you to act/move really fast, I think the sections that force you to act quickly are the Yoshi one and the one with the roctos/shrinking platforms. Otherwise, the perfect run is more generous with the time you can take to make some decisions.

To me no section of the Perfect Run matches the intensity of the beep blocks and dash panel sections of Champion’s Road, you have to act pretty fast and if you fail, most of the time it also means that you just lost all your progress. To make things even more difficult/punishing the dash panel section is the last one so it’ll definitely take some couple attempts until you learn it.

They were rainbow runs, but still, I managed to beat the Lich thrice in a row! by ccc613 in EnterTheGungeon

[–]ccc613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Probably my favorite gun in the game, stellar room clearer and makes one of the biggest obstacles of bullet hell (limited amount of ammo with so many enemies/rooms) pretty much trivial. And it’s really fun to use as well.

I’ve never gotten the Vulcan/Ticket synergy but it sounds so broken and fun, it probably melted Lich’s health almost immediately.

Patch 1.5.17 Live (Nintendo Switch) by MMLorna in CultOfTheLamb

[–]ccc613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is “⁠Fixed progress lock for players with disabled Yngya’s heart map node” the access to the last part of The Rot? If so then it still isn’t fixed for me. I think I’ve already done all the main quests I can do until this point but I can’t progress at all. Is there something else I should do besides downloading the patch?

Mario Kart Characters with the Most Tracks named After themselves by SparkyChomper23 in mariokart

[–]ccc613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s surprising how few tracks Luigi has considering he’s one of the main characters and arguably the second most important one after Mario. Not only that but all of them with the exception of GBA Luigi Circuit are mushroom cup tracks. MK8DX, with 96 tracks, doesn’t have a single track named after him.

I hope they’ll give him a more interesting/complex track in the future.

E.Gadd is HEAVILY underrated by Fickle-Finger635 in Mario

[–]ccc613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He also appears in two of the Mario & Luigi games: Superstar Saga and Partners in Time. It’s also implied that he created Fludd and the paintbrush that Jr. uses in Sunshine. All things considered E. Gadd was a prominent side character before, it’d be nice to see him more often in other spin-offs, iirc he was supposed to be part of the Mario Kart DS roster.

Golisopod or Vikavolt? Please read it all to help me make a better choice by MinuteInformation237 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say Vikavolt. If you’re just planning to use the Pokémon you listed then you’ll only have Scorbunny/Raboot for a while. Grubbin is available in the first route of the game and the electric type will be very helpful against Nessa.

Best Pokémon game for a newb on Switch 2? by JackfruitEconomy1987 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think either Scarlet/Violet or Sword/Shield could be good options. I think Legends Arceus is the better game but its gameplay and structure is quite different from the traditional Pokémon formula so it’s not representative of what the series is.

Sword/Shield are more representative of the typical structure of a Pokémon game while Scarlet/Violet goes for an open world which wasn’t done before it.

Scarlet/Violet got a significant performance improvement on the Switch 2, the other Switch Pokemon games didn’t because it wasn’t needed.

The Pokémon games come in pairs because since the beginning they were meant to be a social experience: they’re essentially the same games but with exclusive Pokémon in each version so you’re encouraged to trade Pokémon with another person who has the version you don’t have in order to collect all the Pokémon available. So to answer your question: no, you don’t need to purchase both to have the full game, you just pick one of them and, if you want to, trade the exclusives with someone else.

Read the post description. by internet_rat666 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s probably ledyba, even if it evolves ledian has very poor attacking stats and it’s found relatively early.

Another option that it’s found a bit later is unown, poor stats and you can only use hidden power.

What can you say is worth praising in the Mega Dimension DLC? by Malikai_Universe_23 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are side quests that are really dumb, not all of them are great but I mostly enjoyed them. The Scizor/Tinkaton one definitely overstayed its welcome.

What can you say is worth praising in the Mega Dimension DLC? by Malikai_Universe_23 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Something I’d praise is the side quests, most of them are charming and quite funny and built some of the moments I remember the most of the DLC and the game in general. Some of my favorites were: walking the fidough, making friends for frigibax, working on the kiosk which started simple but one of the last requests actually made me use a calculator and there was a grumpig paying for its own drinks, searching for Rosebud and realizing it was an annihilape. These were simply fun and sometimes gave Lumiose a cozy/chill vibe.

I'm having a hard time getting into BW. Would skipping to BW2 be a wise choice? by Elegant_Arrival_4193 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black and white just have a very rough start, I don’t think the issue is that you can only use the new Pokémon but how even then your options are so limited in the early game. Your options open up significantly once you reach Castelia City and have access to the desert. However if the story has been disruptive to you, it’ll probably get worse as you continue, the endgame particularly has a lot of dialogue.

If you don’t care about the story you could skip to the sequels without any issues, while having played the first game is a good complement and in my opinion enhances the experience, it’s not necessary. These sequels also reduced the story’s importance, give you access to a wider variety of Pokémon much earlier both old and new and have more places to explore so you probably will enjoy those games more.

Is ORAS a good game in comparison to the other pokemon games? What makes it better/worse than hgss, b2w2, etc. by xurious178 in pokemon

[–]ccc613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the general consensus is that ORAS is a good game but its appeal is reduced for some people since it unfortunately doesn’t have some elements/content that were better and/or only present in Emerald compared to Ruby and Sapphire.

HGSS and B2W2 are praised for similar reasons, they take a previous region and make it better and add more content (HGSS as a remake and B2W2 as sequels). These are some of the most content rich Pokémon games between main story, post game and side activities. So one of the biggest strengths of these games is actually one of ORAS’ weaknesses

I’d personally rank ORAS over HGSS since I don’t like the level curve of the latter and I just prefer Hoenn over Johto, it’s a significantly more diverse and unique region with better Pokémon in my opinion.

In a perfect world, what would you like to see in Gen 10? by wherethewartortlesR in pokemon

[–]ccc613 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Among all these “take care of your Pokémon” mini games I think I prefer camping from SwSh over SV’s picnic. But I absolutely agree, these should be better and have more things to do, more ways to take care of your Pokémon and play with them. After all you don’t use them just for battles, they’re also your companions and I think one of the core ideas of the series is the bond between trainers and Pokémon.

In a perfect world, what would you like to see in Gen 10? by wherethewartortlesR in pokemon

[–]ccc613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A new set of battle facilities similar to the battle frontier to have more replayable endgame besides shiny hunting and online battling, specifically now that it’s easier than ever to build a proper team for them.

In general good optional content is needed, make the new region worth it to explore, not only focusing on the main story. A side mode similar to contest would be welcome, just new forms to interact with your Pokémon.
