Haven’t played in ages, but there’s a free Darkrai and Shiny Lucario going on right now too, damn

nocturne213,

There are a few other active codes atm as well.

If you are okay with the stuff gamefreak has been putting out, you’ll feel the same for this one.

KasimirDD,

Business as usual. Ugly as hell but the francise sells.

TheMinions,

I had a lot of fun with Scarlet honestly. It ran like dogshit but the actual game itself was pretty fun.

I mostly just wish the game looked more like something that came out in 2022 and not 2005.

tacosanonymous,

I definitely think Scar/Vi was more enjoyable than not. I’d rather rent/borrow Pokémon stuff from meow on though.

This is all of them so far. From left to right they are.

Koffing, Aurorus, Ghastly, Electrobuzz, ???, Munchlax

Number 5 may be Amaura but with bad colors

nezrock,

It’s definitely Amaura. Though for some reason there’s extra diamonds. And the pedant in me wants to let you know it’s Gastly, not Ghastly, and Electabuzz, not Electrobuzz. The color seems to be weirdly off on a lot of them (green feet on Munchlax??)

green feet on Munchlax??

Half-transparent pale-yellow paint on a blue item. It might have been the somewhat correct color if it was painted on a white surface, but the background color shines through.

shortly2139,

You know your pokemon better than me haha. I’ve noticed the colors and some of the details are a little weird. It was real cheap, i was quite worried that the pokemon would be made up. I’ve told the kids that they are shiny’s which is why they’re a little different.

Aurorus, the evolved form of Amaura. First appeared in X/Y Kalos region if I recall correctly.

shortly2139,

Thank you. I haven’t really played since gen 2 so i’ve got a couple that i’m not sure on

RampageDon,

Post them all then!

shortly2139,

Just posted in this thread, or here is the link

Aurorus?

pokemondb.net/pokedex/aurorus

The neck markings match, as does the fertility frilly gold

Edit: It’s too early to type.

shortly2139,

Thanks, looks like a match

haukesomm, in Challenge Dialga and Palkia Now!

I Gave up on the games after the abysmal DLC. Another Dialga won’t make up for the terrible games - like heck, how many do I have in Home by now, 10??

EowynCarter, in Challenge Dialga and Palkia Now!

5 stars hey.

Maybe i shouldn’t dismiss all these raids as being impossible 7 raids.

Now I’m felling motivated to start the game again. .

HawlSera, in my question on Pokemon Worldbuilding

I think you’re asking if the super suits in Pokemon’s anime are canon?

Masonicon,

no, I’m talking about having superhuman powers from absolutely anything other than mundane power suits automatically makes anyone nonhuman

Florn, in I beat pokémon blue (twice)

Which starter did you pick?

I have a slightly weird and a bit too complicated approach to this issue, but it works for me at least:

I’m an avid breeder and have been maintaining a huge collection of 'mons with special egg moves, good IVs (and later Apriballs and hidden abilities) since the breeding mechanic was introduced. Whenever I feel the urge to restart a run on any game, including the “older” ones, I create five eggs for a starter team and let them hatch in the new playthrough. That way I make sure that every team member is useful to me right from the start and I have no issues circling through them depending on which one is the most useful for the climate/zone I’m currently in or which one needs a little more XP at the moment.

Whenever I rely only on the 'mons that can be caught in early routes, I end up overlevelling my starter as they tend to be the most (or only…) useful team member and trying to battle with the others feels like a chore. It’s just not fun to try and fight with a Poochyena that only knows Tackle, Howl, Sand Attack and Growl until it finally gained eight or so more levels to learn its first actually useful attack, and then having to swap it out shortly after that because you need to drag an HM slave with you. =/

The downside is that you either need someone else to help you trade, or use one of the still availiable online storage options to trade with yourself in order to move the eggs or newly hatched 'mons into another game, and Nintendo’s service in that sector isn’t exactly convenient.

Icedrous,

See, once I was introduced to breeding in Pokémon, that’s all I’ve been wanting to do. Not necessarily make the perfect mons, but just breed until I have the nature I want and then go from there.

I’ve been doing research and the best game, well “best” game on the 3DS era that I can see when it comes to breeding and the battle (whatever it’s called) is USUM, but I like the difficulty of the gen 4 and below games.

g7s, in When you replay older Pokémon games, how do you like to play them?

I know it’s hard but just bank your strong pokemon, catch a one you never used and level up with it! Or go with a complete new team after each gym.

Icedrous,

Maybe that’s it! I struggle to box my Pokémon for no good reason! They’re family after all and I feel bad 😭

jimmycrackcrack, in Who's that pokemon?

Couchemon? Sofachu?

PineRune, in Leveling in Violet (and I am guessing by extension Scarlett) is super tedious

I’ve done enpugh raids in SV that I can 1 to 100 any pokemon on an instant thanks to all the exp candies I have. High level raids drop them a lot, and some events can get you up to 999 Large candies.

nocturne213,

But do those happen before you beat say the 5th gym? Because I was struggling to keep up with game progression.

PineRune,

Lower level raids still drop lower tier candies. Mid game grind shouldn’t be too bad when doing the overworld auto-battles, I don’t remember what those are called.

MomoTimeToDie, in When you replay older Pokémon games, how do you like to play them?

It depends on the game, and what I feel like doing. My main rule of thumb is to not use pokemon I’ve used before, or use frequently.

Regarding overleveling, I always just compulsively switch train my weakest pokemon, even or my first runs. It’s really just something you have to get used to. It’s sorta the same mindset as item hoarding. It doesn’t matter if there’s an obvious way to win now, it matters that there might be a need for my team to have other strong members later. Therefore, they always need to be trained
