And other people are, and that's why they don't like the system. And that's your philosophy that isn't shared by the people complaining. The fact that there is an entire forum in this very board devoted exclusively to "doing challenge runs of the game", there are similar forums / threads in...

I think the problem here is that you're trying to make a global statement about something that's inherently local. Based on previous interactions I feel I can safely say without misrepresentation that your playstyle is overwhelmingly focused on online play with the single player campaign being...

We get the bike, Gossifleur evolves and then we trounce Nessa: Edelgoss is just super effective and can Dynamax, while Clefable is a wall and can learn Magical Leaf. She never had a chance. It took me a while - a 5% chance purple Pokemon in a place full of other purple Pokemon and with a bunch...

There you go Mega Scizor: Devalue @ 13,186 / Megan @ 16,440 Hatch: Devalue @ 13,201 / Megan @ 16,455 Lvl. 100: Devalue @ 13,396 / Megan @ 16,650 Shiny: No Points: 100

I started the game and did the usual story beats, until I got my starter. After that I hacked Clefairy in. I didn't do Cleffa because 1) it's a baby and 2) grinding friendship in SwSh isn't hard so I'd be able to functionally get Clefairy in a very short amount of time. I copied the IVs and...

Depends on what you're trying to do and on what game. If it's something like RBY, then why not just route the Mew glitch in somewhere? For (Virtual Console) Crystal you can get the GS Ball legally. In BDSP, if you have save data from SwSh or LGPE you can get a free mythical and stuff like that...

I think Switch Pro is more likely than another console. The Switch is the 3rd highest selling console of all time, and it's still generating a lot of buzz. Going for a new console in the middle of a recession would not necessarily be the best move they could do. And especially not for something...

I am currently undergoing a project for exactly that (although a fragmented one across many games because Dexit and I'm not paying them money for Pokemon Home). I suppose it's just a new project to do new things in games that I play a lot. Some other people might do it because they just...

I'm aware of that, but colonial powers as a whole also tend to have terrible history lessons (as well as some colonies for that matter) which severely downplay the horrors inflicted on first nations, so that's mostly why I believe it was done out of ignorance - your average person is just taught...

I do agree that some of the game's decisions (fall damage, crafting system) felt a bit tacked on and didn't really do the game a lot of justice but over all I mostly enjoyed the basic gameplay. I think that the rank requirements were a bit repetitive at times but I can see it as an incentive to...

To mirror the Let's Go thread, would you want to see more games done in the Legends style? If not, why? If so, in which region? Do you think there are tweaks that could improve the experience even more / "save" it?

Moved to PGC as this deals mostly with the actual games instead of a discussion about the broader franchise.

It is, and its Japanese name is explicitly "Mushroom's Spore" (キノコのほうし - kinoko no houshi), so yeah, I wouldn't expect a non mushroom Pokémon (that doesn't have some kind of special out like Smeargle or Mew or something like that) to get it anytime soon. Effect Spore, which is an ability that...

Unless I'm explicitly doing a challenge run in which size matters, no, never. (I will say though that I suppose that my teams tend to skew fully evolved and so skew bigger as a consequence, I guess)

Update #5 - Legends Arceus
