Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

He is looking for in-game battling with NPC characters, the whole gym system and that jazz. He also wants only blind random wild encounters like he had on his old DS and 3DS. Looks like it’s going to be Brilliant Diamond.

Oh well, I never played that generation (or any after gen 1), so it will be nice to understand all the references in Arceus to it.

And also keep in mind, that if he wants to battle online, you'll need a Nintendo Online subscription. Because modern gaming is just like that.

We do have that. Purely for the NES, SNES and Gameboy libraries for me.

Edit: Damn, that makes me sound old. It’s almost like I just got reading glasses and turn 45 in a few days…

Getting Brilliant Diamond and Legends Arceus together might actually make for a interesting time. They both take place in the same region, so you'll get to see how things change over time. One takes place in the present and the other the past. You'll be able to spot different landmarks in different styles.

You don't have to worry too much about overlap, though. They're still two very different games, overall.

Doing some remote raids on Go for Giratina Origin Forme, just caught a shiny. Nice.

Brilliant Diamond was definitely the right call. The two kids and I are loving it. I think it was a good idea sticking to what they remembered from the 3DS in terms of gameplay style. Once we complete Brilliant Diamond, we will move on to Legends Arceus with all the gameplay changes.

What's that? It's almost Halloween? Well, I better leave out some treats!

...They've been putting out a lot of shorts, lately.

Add a little spice to your sweetness this Halloween!
