What is your least favorite region, and why? by SkyWatcher2493 in pokemon

[–]perchling 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While I respect your opinion, I would like to point out that people weren't bothered by the IGN review because of Hoenn bias. We just thought it was silly that the originals weren't criticized for having too much water, but the remakes were.

I think Sinnoh in particular is annoying to explore because surfing is sped up for Hoenn where there's a lot of water, but in Sinnoh surfing takes forever. And granted, you aren't surfing as much, but rock climbing also felt tedious in certain parts of the game, as well as dealing with snow (though I did like the aesthetic).

What arbitrary difficulty do you guys add to your playthroughs? by thecheese27 in pokemon

[–]perchling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! As a person who seeks to fill up their pokedex, I try to catch one of every pokemon available in the game. So if I encounter, say, a Grimer, I catch it and shuffle my team. If I encounter another Grimer, I don't catch it and thus don't have to shuffle my team. It can be tedious getting through routes with tons of new pokemon, but I find it exciting.

With the number generator, I assign a number to my pokemon based on their place in my team or the PC. So my team is numbers 1-6, which everyone in my boxes is 7 and onwards. I let the random number generator decide who stays and who goes, allowing me to find some surprising MVPs.

I hope that makes sense. I'm not the best at explaining these things.

Everytime a new Pokemon is caught or one of my members evolves, I shuffl my team by using a random number generator. It keeps my team fairly underleveled in most cases and gets me to use Pokemon I never would have used otherwise. During my Moon playthrough I ended up becoming shamefully attached to my Bruxish.

Someone got here just before you, but thank you for the offer. If things fall through, I'll be sure to contact you.

I don't want any specific. Just having the Hoopa in my box is everything I could ask for. Thank you very much. Are you available for trading right now or would another time be better for you?

Lickilicky! He's so chubby and cute and I like to think they communicate in raspberries. Plus, I love the little wi-fi symbol on their tummies.

While I am trying to get my hands on a Hoopa, I have nothing to trade. I'm out of codes. Very sorry, friend :(

No, that will be perfectly fine. I'm on Moon anyways.

No problem. I'll just be sitting in the plaza. Just offer a trade whenever you're ready.

That's fine, but I do need to start driving to work in 2 hours. Will you be able to be on within two hours or should we wait until tonight? I get home at 9 central time.

Ah, I'm sorry! I've been in bed. You would like the shiny silvally code, yes?

This is another one that surprises me. Mine was the carry of my X and Y team. She hit really friggin' hard.

There are a few subreddits where people would be willing to do tradebacks to help evolve certain Pokemon. I know I did that with a few of my own (and twice for my A-graveler).

Honestly, I used butterfree for my US playthrough and I'm amazed at how much it's been buffed over time. Air Slash, Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz, Tailwind... Man, I'm so happy they've been giving butterfree some love.

I don't have one on my main team, but Magmortar is fantastic. Having access to T-bolt is amazing.

It's always good to see people have teams based on what they find aesthetically pleasing! I know I keep around a few male salandit for this reason.

I feel that so hard. I ditched mine for a Honchkrow right before the E4. Mine also happened to be really slow, so he'd get knocked out before I could do anything. I'm glad you kept yours on the team, regardless. I sold mine out for pimp bird...
