This would probably surprise you, but Game Freak used to be at the cutting edge of technology in their previous games (so I've heard). Apparently they were pushing the limits in each of their first games with the content, the sprites, the optimisation, even the sounds.

I am not surprised the legends are busted after Zamazenta last time round lol. What is this fangame ur working on? like a rom hack?
I'm fine!
It's a fangame, and it's for people who like strategic battles but want an easier experience than Smogon, and a lot of variety in tiers. I'm currently working on an update patch adding Gen 9 and some new tiers.

I only had like on crash in Violet in total. And this is currently my second playthrough. It might just be memory leak issues that cause it to crash. In that regard I'm fairly save as I also play ACNH daily. So I end up rebooting the game quite often, anyways.

I find it annoying when you encounter/run from a wild mon and it basically repositions you elsewhere inside of another one. I've had entire chains like this, until I get annoyed and just start murdering them all. 😤
Not a bug I think, just an annoyance.

I caught tarantula cus it looked cute nnd it was one of the first ones i evolved nd was pretty disappointed with Spidops, its ok ig but ive replaced it with a different bug type Nymble not evolved it yet. I also like Greavard (called him Ronnie after my mums dog) from a tera crystal thing its poison tera type. Only ones ive seen uve mentioned are Cyclizar which is pretty cool, Charcadet which i got one myself im currently using nd bloody Flamigo i fount one in the wild nd it wiped my team when i was low lvl xD
Flamigo is an absolute beast in the early game =3

I've repeatedly fought higher level Mons just because it's good exp =P
Though I also ended up ignoring all the wild Mons in a couple areas because they were far too low leveled =P

I disliked looking for Audino in the rustling grass and being interrupted by another wild Pokemon.

...Or finding Emolga.

I do think it's kinda hilarious that despite the hickups on a technical standpoint GF still managed to progression lock everything, regardless. Like, I broke out of the tutorial parts of the game but wasn't allowed to take on a Gym because I still hadn't finished the tutorial. xD

But at least I found a shiny Hoppip that way!

I started a second playthrough on my child account and was greeted by a tiny pink thing on the first area where you can catch Pokemon. Hadn't even met Miraidon yet.
I blanked out for a couple seconds what Pink Pokemon where here... and then it got close enough to tell what it was; a shiny pawmi.
I hadn't planned on using one, but the dang thing basically volunteered itself and is now on that playthrough team. which is on pause atm because i got bored at like 2 gyms in xD

Do you mean that Shiny Pokémons are not a legend? They do exist? :O

They exist but they are a once-in-a-lifetime occurance (aka a 1/4000ish chance).

I got 5 shinies in my main/first playthrough of Violet, before finishing the game or the Dex, and another one shortly after.

My first was a Yungoos hiding in a pack of them on the way to my first gym, followed by a golden Lokix near the Psychic gym. While exploring Glaseado Mountain I found a shiny Sneasel and Snover within 15 minutes of each other.
5th was a shiny Golduck in Area Zero.

Spoiler:


And the 6th was a second shiny Golduck while running around doing Tera Dens. =\

Are those Paradox Pokémons legendaries? Or they are like Ultra-Beasts, "Pokémons from another dimension that happen to be overpowered"?

They're basically Ultra Beasts. But you can catch them in the wild.

I actually did not find a single shiny in my first playthrough. But in my second I so far found four: Hoppip, Lechonk, Dunsparse and I forgot the fourth one ^^"

I'd actually like to find a shiny future paradox Pokemon. I do like the monochrome designs.

A shiny Iron Bundle would be dope.
Aside from it and Iron Valiant I kinda don't really care much for the future Paradoxes.
They all look like they should be part Steel type too

Also I can only wonder how many shiny tiny Pokemon I've passed by.
Like Flabebe & Floette are so tiny you need to get pretty close to them to even be able to see if it's a shiny or not, given that their flower doesn't change color.

And sometimes you play 10 Pokémon games and you never see a Shiny 🙃
(Except that red Gyarados from GS/HGSS)

Like Flabebe & Floette are so tiny you need to get pretty close to them to even be able to see if it's a shiny or not, given that their flower doesn't change color.
I like Iron Moth, too. And I like the Godzilla reference they were going for with Iron Thorns. Well, it would have probably been better as a past paradox. On the other hand I really like the detail that they took version exclusives, created paradox versions of them and then put them into the version that didn't have the originals (Flutter Mane and Roaring Moon as replacements for Misdreavus and Salamence and Iron Jugulis and Iron Thorns for Hydreigon and Tyranitar respectively).

I also thing that the future versions lacking the Steel type just perfectly plays into the "paradox" part, as well (except Iron Treats). I guess you could say something similar with the past versions and the Rock type.

I agree with Megan. It was pretty cool to see that we describe it as machines but they actually aren't because we in the present would consider them machines, but in the future they're just normal. I prefer Future paradoxes to the others. I just wish they were more. Despite the fact that there's a high chance we might get more with DLCs, I think that from the start they could have been more. Area 0 is even pretty big, so there was indeed space for some others!

There was a Nintendo Direct?
I'm currently shiny breeding and not really paying much attention to other things =P

I think a split DLC for Scarlet/Violet where Violet players get to visit an area in the future and Scarlet players get to visit an area in the past would be cool.
Though it probably wouldn't work well with the current story =P

You don't Shiny breed while doing something else?
Also, did they announce a patch for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet? Or a new DLC with new Pokémons and moves and such that I'll have to code again? :(

I think a new Pokémon presents might arrive not much late and DLC could be presented. Looking forward to it tbh!

Also, did they announce a patch for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet? Or a new DLC with new Pokémons and moves and such that I'll have to code again? :(
I do, but official Nintendo stuff never really pops up in my recommended on youtube.
Instead it usually recommends stuff like 'We hatched 6 shiny Pokemon and fight it out' or 'We can only catch Grass types and then we fight' for Pokemon stuff.
I also don't pay much attention to whatever is on as I shiny breed as it's just white noise to make things less boring anyway =P
