Whew, college and work have kept me busy, so...if any of you see this, well, I'm not dead (at least biologically (?)), just don't have as much spare time as I used to

Since I spent several days hunting down the warp hole legendaries (and had other matters to attend IRL as well), I just got to the League, and well, this was kinda...cute. They're actually giving more feeling to keeping your starter until the end.

Though, the game doesn't care about Ball, gender, met location, origin game..not even PID. Only species, OT/TID/SID combo, and EC, need to match in order to play this event. Still, didn't expect the game to store something such as your starter's EC.

I like the way you literally have to go to GF office in-game to complain about how horrible the gyroscope control is in order to disable it.
But at the same time, I hate it for not being a simple, obvious menu option.

So, when doing the "Ditto Five" side quest, I interacted with the one disguised as a chef from too far. After catching it, the actual chef came running. Once he reached me, he kept running. And now, he's still running, trying to get through me.

Thing is, I cannot move at all until he stops talking. He cannot even begin talking if he doesn't stop running. And he cannot stop running if I'm on his way to the coord he's supposed to stop in.

Guess...be careful, and let's hope GF fixes this on some update.

I'm just so, so hyped.

I've literally been expecting them to announce they'd use the Ultra Wormholes as an excuse to let us hunt for legendaries since the first trailers came out. Having that and old villain team leader is just marvelous.

My country is one of the many ones to traditionally mourn the dead on November 1st, and thus...here's mine (?

So...well, I farmed FC with the sole purpose of getting a dye shop. Sophocles kept refusing to give me one and just offered useless stuff all along but I finally had some luck.

Spent a bunch of berries, but guess it was worth it, I've harvested hundreds of them anyway.

My clothes finally match my lipstick (?

Didn't wanna use the default purple color since it was way too light.

Uh..are any of you guys this picky about customization?

I encountered these two Pokémon in the Battle Tree today. Serebii's catalogue said they were holding Smooth Rocks, but judging their movesets, I thought they were supposed to hold Heat Rocks and so decided to dump them and see wether they were actually holding wrong items or it was just an error in the page.
And..well...turns out they're actually holding Smooth Rocks.

Now I wonder wether this is an actual error or they just did it deliberately in order to give the player some "advantage" in the relatively early battles (between 20th and 30th). I mean, they haven't fixed this in any of the updates, whereas they fixed the Shell Smash Kommo-o, a Hawlucha (Idk what was the problem with that one) and the Battle Royal's Stockpile Shuckle.

This is something that's been bugging/worrying me lately.

This is a cap Pikachu I genned way before the actual release just to test the Z-Move. It's obviously illegal, but whereas older PKHeX builds properly flagged it that way, the most recent ones are flagging it as legal.

This is kinda..sad, but funny at the same time.

I was browsing around the Image Dex and I couldn't help but notice that the so-called Bellossom and Sentret's PMD EOS portraits are actually the transformed Ditto from the 4th special episode xD
Here, have a "vs" of what's depicted in the gallery and the actual mugshots for the species:

So... well, after losing against Dark Matter and feeling frustrated during several days, I finally decided to try again and beat it this time:

To be honest, this is the first MD boss I've actually been forced to use a complex strategy, I remember just using a Violent Seed and two Focus Blasts to beat Primal Dialga back in EOS (I was the Riolu back then, with my partner being an Eevee) and just spamming whatever I had against Rayquaza in Rescue Team. Haven't played GTI so Idk how hard is to beat Kyurem.

Perhaps I was too innocent as a child, or maybe I just didn't pay attention back then, but now I had a good laugh when I saw this Meganium:

I was using the dumping method to ease my Battle Tree scouting and I took the time to check for this thing that has been in my head since that time I dumped the Shell Smash Kommo-o. It's nothing important but it's the kind of thing that doesn't let me sleep at night.

Back then, I dumped it from a recorded battle since the odds to enter the Battle Tree and encounter it again were just about zero. As a result, it had the "Sun." OT, something that I highlighted when talking to BlackShark, he replied: "It's interesting that it uses a generic OT! That's not the case for every NPC. For example Kukui's Rockruff doesn't have any OT at all", but thing is, when battling in the Battle Tree itself, the OT isn't actually there. The ID and SID are in there and are kept when the battle is recorded (alongside all the other data, including PID), but the OT doesn't appear until that happens. I take it the reason is the game needs to generate an OT in order to keep Pokémon individual data saved (otherwise, it'd be randomly generated when entering the vs. Recorder and that'd bring serious issues), so it enters the generic "Sun." OT (guess it depends on the language, "Sol.", "Soleil.", etc; but not on the version, Moon still uses "Sun.").

Take this Golisopod as an example:

So, the point is, Battle Tree Pokémon are actually no exception to the "NPC Pokémon have no OT at all" thing, they just have an OT generated in order to keep their random data (ability, gender, PID) when the battle is recorded. It's not that interesting but I wanted to post it anyway xD

Found this in Serebii's home page.

I'm pretty doubtful, but... Serebii doesn't lie, right?

I've been playing PSMD. The beginning is a bit too slow, but once it's over it turns out to be quite interesting. The mechanics are all new to me (don't know if GTO was like this since I have yet to play it), but I think I'm used to them already.

Now, what really surprised me is the fact that they actually let you fight and recruit this Lv. 50 thing when you're just a tiny Lv. 10-15 thingy.

He was actually harder to beat than any boss I had encountered until that point (and he's supposed to be just some generic enemy Axew wanted to battle).

Note: My partner and other team member (Vulpix) were defeated and I refused to use the reviver seeds on them just in case I needed them*

"Owww, what a sweet little g-- wait, what?!"

Hm... so this Cobalion of mine missed 4 Stone Edges in a row and I was flat out pissed off.

Then, next day, he saved my Battle Tree streak with a crit Sacred Sword, being my last standing Pokémon and just about dead.

RNGesus surely moves in a mysterious way.

So at first I thought maps 1 and 2 were some sort of dummies, since I couldn't find anything on them, but I had some spare time today so I decided to do a bit more walking around and I found out they're not actually some infinitely empty maps, but the Iki Town variants used when you fight Hau for the second time and when you become the champion respectively.

As you might expect, all the models used on said events are on these maps.

So I guess... you could kinda revisit Lillie in there...right? :c

My feelings </3

So I was just randomly using the wall hack thing and I found this leftover room. It's on the same map as MC's mom's room. As you might expect, there's nothing to interact with in there, but due to the layout and the fact that your room and the diningroom seem to share the same map as well I guess this one'd have been the garage.

Did you guys know about this? I didn't so I wanted to share it.

I wonder if they'll release the remaining shiny Tapus anytime soon. Or anytime at all...

I want my shiny Tapu Loli-- uh, I mean, Lele!
