I beat the game, but I pretty much no life'd it since it came out, and only really stopped because my friend let me borrow his copy of Shield so I can do my first playthrough of it about a day or 2 ago. I'm pretty sure I was always a star ahead of what the story wanted because I never got...

So I beat the game and honestly had an absolute blast. This game has been some of the most fun I've had in a Pokemon game, making memories and building bonds with my mons. Didn't do much of this since Platinum or X. I've played it pretty much nonstop. I love building teams for playthroughs, and...

I plan to 100% the dex in BDSP at some point and finish playthroughs that I didn't start, then nuzlocke it. I beat Legends Arceus a couple of days ago, and I'll probably want to do the dex there too. I have a whole lot to play, especially since I'm doing multiple playthroughs and trying to...

I've had 2 completed save files, so all that I gotta do is just get on the grind in the underground and follow some swarms, all that good stuff. I'm already on my way there, but I stopped playing so I can complete the gen 5 games for the first time. Never finished either of the games, so I just...

On my 1st playthrough using my old team, I beat her first try. I had items and affection on my side though. On my 2nd playthrough, I had a different team and no items in battle. I don't remember whether or not I beat her on my first try, but I did win after a while. Her team still has those old...

I don't like the idea of using legendaries on a team for casual playthroughs or nuzlockes. They're too strong and have guaranteed 3 perfect IVs, so if you just use them correctly, you shouldn't really lose. I remember being little and still not using none of the 3 legendaries on any file, even...

We already do have the Smogon tiers n stuff, but I think people don't like the fact that the new held items just aren't here. We get some of the team making items like mints, but team building is just harder to do than in SwSh. A lot of people really like the old gen 4 metagame though, so I...

Honestly I'd have to agree with a Plat DLC coming. At least, I wish it happens. I personally hate the idea of DLC being over $10 (which it probably would be like SwSh) but a Platinum DLC would literally just fix the problems with this game, except for things in design that GF and ILCA just don't...

That's pretty true. Tbh I'll only be able to gauge teams by how I play the game. I don't try to overlevel and I don't use items in battle. I use switch mode on new games and then set mode on following runs. You can definitely spam items with your tankiest Pokemon and win because Pokemon is mad...

I had Rocky and strats in HG, so it wasn't too bad for me. She definitely is one of the harder Johto gym leaders. She's not really "overhyped" imo, people are just underprepared.

Manaphy is a straight up Mythical, automatically making it better in some ways. Its balanced yet high base stats give you the ability to use it for different roles. Colours has a point with tail glow. You should probably see what role your team needs though. Milotic is really good at being a...

I've never seen something like this before. Did you get any different event triggers or not get an event trigger from doing any of those things? The bike shop is never locked, because there's supposed to be a kid in there that talks about the owner losing his Clefairy. If you are able to...

After a bunch of underground catching and thinking, I got what seems to be the team for Piplup. Before Gardenia, I went into the underground and caught Togepi, Misdreavus, Croagunk, and Chingling(aboveground). The team during the battle became: Prinplup, Togepi, Misdreavus, Croagunk, and still...

Beat the game on both versions and opened up new profiles to try new teams using the other 2 starters, Piplup and Turtwig. The Turtwig run hasn't started, but I just beat Mars in Valley Windworks on the Piplup run. Didn't know how powerful the water gun of a Prinplup can be. I have to solo the...

Because of the QOL changes and modernity BDSP has over Platinum, I find them to be... almost equals? Even with the stuff BDSP had to fix (HMs, speed, etc.), Platinum is still better. The change in how some locations look (or a straight up change in the location, like how the Eterna Galactic...
