    Did anyone notice that there seems to be a special currency called Festival Coins? It appears on the trailer while changing clothes. I wonder if that means that we are losing pokes as the currency or if this special kind of currency can only be obtained in a certain way.

    Most likely, they are trying to get away from just dumping cash on you (like they did in XY) so clothes take a different currency. Seriously XY gave you SO MUCH CASH and I'm 90% sure it was because the late-game clothes cost so much (plus the Mega Stones too).

    I did see those. I'm guessing it might be something we acquire from some kind of minigame, like the old Game Corner.

    Won't be gambling though. EU regulations say anything with gambling is at minimum rated their equivalent for T for Teen. Game Freak wants to keep their child friendly rating worldwide.

    Well yeah, that's why we had Voltorb Flip (A pox upon its very being!). It'll likely be something on the level of the Pokemon Amie minigames, no cost to play except time.

    I figure it's a special thing. The third or town/city you reach after you started off, perhaps the harbor town on the second island, will have a festival going on. There you can play some sort of (mini)games, preferably something with your pokémon, like the pokéatlon, to win these coins to buy outfits. Later places will hand them out as well. On the third island you get fly, so you always have a quick way back there.

    Yes, that is way to specific for such a wild guess. Please just ignore everything after the first sentence.

    I wouldn't call it that. If you acquired the berry from through legal means and made use of the in-game berry field to grow more it's all fair in my opinion.


    Quick question: Anyone got a Brave Syncronizer Abra/Ralts they would be willing to trade? Don't need any special IVs/etc, just the Syncronize ability and Nature required. Can offer any of the pokébred 'mons from my signature link in return. ↓

    So, I'm working on building a (kind-of) competitive team (I'm using Smogon's OU tier, for reference). However, I'm not sure what to use for the last two slots on the team.

    Spoiler: Current Team members
    Show
    Azurill (Assault Vest, Adamant, Huge Power, 31/31/31/x/31/31, 240 HP/252 Atk/16 SpD, Aqua Jet, Waterfall, Play Rough, Superpower)
    Talonflame (Adamant, Gale Wings, 31/31/31/x/31/31, 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spe, Acrobatics, Roost, Sword Dance, Will-o-wisp)
    Mega Venasaur (Venasaurite, Modest, Chlorophyl, ???*, 232 HP/252 SpA/4 SpD/20 Spe, Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Synthesis, Hidden Power (Fire))
    Garchomp (Rocky Helmet, Impish, Rough Skin, 31/31/31/x/31/31, 240 HP/176 Def/92 Spe, Stealth Rock, Dragon Tail, Earthquake, Fire Blast)**

    * I haven't bred/traded for this guy yet, so he's probably the easiest of these three to switch out, but I just like Venusaur
    **Currently, I'm actually using a Choice Specs Goodra, but Garchomp's strong physical defense feels like it fills the team better, and I don't want two dragons.


    Looking at what I have so far, I don't have a good counter to psychic types, and steel wouldn't be much better. Stealth Rock also shuts down talonflame hard, so a Rapid Spinner is probably needed. A support pokemon of some kind to keep Garchomp and Azumarill on their feet might also be a good idea.

    Any ideas?

    I didn't think you had used hacks to get your berry. I just felt the word "ill-gotten" had been used loosely here and so made a comment. It is easy enough to fight your way through the maison and obtain a starf berry* and, in my opinion, completely fair to use the berry farm from X/Y to produce more─after all, it is why it were put in the game in the first place!
    * Just takes a bit of time...

    I am not sure why people would want to jump through hoops and rings to hack stuff into their game, but each their own business...

    Personally, I much prefer the challenge of gathering all the items and such on my own. It is more fun that way.

    Yeah, but, I mean, the fighting I did in the Battle Maison was entirely with pokemon with abilities and moves that you can't get in game outside of hacking.

    ...

    Okay. so after all that build-up, Team Rocket's climactic BW episodes only exist in the form on an online summary.

    Fantastic.

    Oh well, at least they're back to "normal." Could still stand for them not to be in every episode, though, but I guess we'll see.



    Edit: As an afterthought (because he's really not worth more than that), can Trip please be hit by a bus? Because he's not fit to lick Paul's or Gary's boots. He suuuucks as a character and a rival. His entire characterisation comes down "smug bigot."



    Edit edit: On the other hand, I now cannot work out whether Emolga or Snivy is the absolute best! Say what you like about the rest of the series, the Pokémon characterisation is brilliant.

    The third episode of Pokemon Generations was meh.

    Yeah. I'm not really feeling any of these. Maybe it's because it's manga adaption (and as noted, I'm a big Ash fan to boot) but... I'm not invested in any of these characters.



    Has anybody done any breeding with Snivy and have any spares? After seeing Ash's snivy, I feel obligated to actually make a proper go of using one (it's the only starter I really couldn't bring myself to use out of all he generations because it's stats were so rubbish), which is going to require a load of breeding. I've got a Contrary Serperior from the give aways (male), but of course the IVs are nothing special. I'm aiming to breed up a Contrary female with Glare (amybe even Leaf Storm is I can wangle it)... At some point for IVs I can maybe bring one of my Bulbasaurs in, but if anyone happens so have anything that would help expeditite matters at any stage of this, I'd appreicate it!

    I did like the team rocket one for what it was.

    Fingers crossed that the next short is going to be a decent battle. I don't care about the characters, I just want to see a well animated pokemon battle.

    I wonder if the next episode will just focus battle between Red and Blue, or move on to another subject.
    Considering that this episode was basically how Blue got to the Elite Four before Red.....without actually SHOWING all the important battles......doubt they will go for another battle there.

    shortness like this is why I never liked Pokemon Origins all that much despite its attempt at higher quality. It would be awesome if only they actually had time to show this right, but you can't when you only have four episodes or in this four minutes, you need time for the fights, you need time for the character development, the interplay, the details. thats why I'd rather watch the normal anime because at least you seeing how it all happens going back and forth.

    speaking of which, I'm still haven't gotten around to watching Hoenn. anyone have any tips to help me watch through Hoenn so that I can get to the later regions? I watched all of Kanto and Johto, but I haven't gotten around to continuing Hoenn.
    I'm also on discord as "raziere".

    Hoenn is better than Johto in that (Master Quest aside), it just doesn't back on with filler so much. I think the way I've been watching stuff - basically just binging like billio - is probably the best way to do it. (Reading Pokemopolis' hilarious recaps afterwards is optional, though after a while, you start to snicker more often at inoccuous comments...)

    The big punch is the break between Advanced Battle and Battle Frontier. Even having watched DP and thus become now used to the voice cast change, the first three or four episodes - the first one especially - is rather jarring and painful, since it's clear the voice actors haven't found their groove yet. Those in particular, you just have to grit your teeth and sit through.



    BW, actually watched sequentially is... Actually nowhere near as bad as I'd thought. I'm actually warming to Iris and Cilan and the Pokémon are awesome, though the larger number (I don't think Ash has caught this many since the first season and that's counting all the Tauros) mean that the "family" feel of DP isn't quite as prevalent.

    Maybe it'll dip down later on, but it's actually pretty good - if not quite to DP's high standard.

    I just managed to take three gyms and have them still Valor by the time I got my defender bonus.

    All I had to defend with were some 800ish mons, but I guess nobody else is up at 6am playing Pokemon Go on a Sunday
