Watch out for Ghosts...

If we were lucky, it would have looked like a slime from Dragon Quest. If we weren't...well, fishing it up was probably a good idea.

94

I would forgive Game Freak for all their faults if they made the Dragon Quest slime a Pokémon. xD They're unbearably cute, especially the one who helps you out in DQVII!!! Such a sweetheart. ;__;

Suppose I'll have to make do with shiny Ditto--it's certainly close enough. :D

95

Just play Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, it's close enough to what you might be able to expect if that actually happened, haha. It's a shame the third game never made it to the West, but given how popular the series has become with XI, maybe we'll see a Switch continuation of that series in the future...

you have no idea how difficult it was to not make slime puns for this post

96

Ah, I completely forgot about that game! I meant to play it on DesMuMe because it looked awesome, but didn't find the time... Definitely gotta try it out. :D I would certainly love a DQ-like Pokémon game, at any rate. <3

Goo ahead, it's about slime we heard some puns! (slurp)

97

Teeeeechnically speaking Pokemon titles are DQ-like games because monster catching as a gameplay mechanic originated from Dragon Quest V about 4 years before Gen I was released >:D
DQ spinoffs are always pretty fun! Heroes was a fun distraction, and Builders is amazing. This coming from someone who adamantly refuses to play Minecraft. xD

Ooze gooing to make the most puns, I wonder? Only slime will tell...

98

Goomy is a pretty cute slime Pokemon in my opinion.

99 (my year!)

Goomy definitely beats Slugma, sorry not sorry

100

No love for poor Solosis? D:

101

GABBYYYYYYYYYY! Yeah, Solosis is great~

101

Gothita's line has always freaked me out a bit...it's the faces. But the Solosis line is just blobs of slime. Can't goo wrong with that. xD

103 (?)

I guess at first I didn't really like them, but now it's better... that goes for both Gothita and Solosis lines

104

Blobs are cute, and I love psychic types in general (though I agree, Gothita is... meh). Honestly, I love Goomy for that, it really shows how versatile the dragon type can be. Not just what we'd classically count as a dragon such as Charizard.

Whoa whoa, that's number 100! That makes you a ghostie! :o

Very true! Sliggoo needing rain to evolve is also an interesting mechanic~

106

Yeah it was an interesting mechanic, but it is also annoying since you either need to grind for hours in a rainy place with low-leveled Pokemon or level up elsewhere and get close to the evolution level. Then fly to a rainy place and do the last amount of grinding there.

107

Remember having to flip the 3DS over to evolve Inkay? Fun times.

108

You all have very...interesting definitions of the word "interesting" when it comes to game mechanics. Or maybe just more patience than I do. Although nothing was quite as annoying as having to trade to get Accelgor and Escavalier. xD

I think this is the second time this has happened :o

109

Sure, some of those evolution mechanics are fun, but some really aren't... especially if you have to get an Online pass thingy to even trade!

110

I don't think I ever traded with another person during the link cable days... I didn't have friends as a child.

111

My neighbour had Pokemon Blue, so I traded with him, but from that point forward I was on my own until Gen IV...and even then I've still cursed version exclusives since Day 1, because I don't like relying on other people for things. xD

112

Moon was the only game of which I have an official copy and it took me a while to finish up the PokéDex because trading back and forth is a lot of effort. And not all that interesting to do tbh.

Yeah, that one is so weird! I like it a lot thematically.

Other than that not so much. There is no way someone could have figured that out without looking on the internet. I can imagine lots of people grinding Inkay to oblivion and waiting for the thing to finally evolve. xD
