Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

[Caldwin]

Hey guys! When you start getting missions on the bulletin board (very early in the game), Be sure to do "A Peculiar Ponyta."

I thought it would be about that huge lvl. 40 Alpha Ponyta, but no. You get a shiny Ponyta practically gift wrapped for you.

so there's a new feature called "Mass outbreaks" that replaces the Swarms from previous games. You go to one spot on a map & only one certain 'mon will appear there for a bit, respawning as well.

Got the timing right today so lo and behold- Shiny CHIMCHAR!

 

[M. Virion]

It did it to me me again. Shiny up on a ridge, I managed to make it up there, just barely, and catch a shiny Tangela.

 

[Caldwin]

Oversized Pokémon are fun! *teehee*

Hey, squirt!

Are you my mommy?

And right on cue, Pokemon "fans" are review bombing Legends Arceus.

Imagine hating something you claim to be a fan of so much that you go out of your way to jive on anything related to it =/

update: the review bombing has been cancelled out by people who actually played the game and find it very good, lol

also: got my first shiny. she's doing the Naga laugh.

My reveiw so far:

It's a bit dialogue heavy. I do wish if they were going to try and bring things a bit closer to Breath of the Wild, you might as well bring in voice acting. It's the next logical step.

But that's nit-picky. I love the story. I love battle system. I love the different ways you can avoid battle all together. Crafting Pokeballs instead of having to buy them (You can still buy them, but it's easier to just craft them) is such a welcome change.

I love how you can throw a ball at a Pokemon, before it's even caught, throw one of your Pokemon at a tree and get some crafting components...meanwhile you're still walking along your merry way.

The only complaint I think I have that's not as nit-picky...you're not finished with your Pokédex entry simply by capturing a single Pokemon. You have to battle several, catch several, battle with a certain move, catch without being noticed, see a Pokemon use a certain move, etc. etc. etc. It's very grindy.

But other than that, I'm having a blast. I'm finding it hard to put it down for long.

 

[Caldwin]

Oh, Sweet! Shiny Sneasler! Congrats!

 

[Thefakelink]

I’m purposely waiting to pick this up but you guys are making it difficult. This is exactly the shot in the arm that Pokémon needed.

 

[Daith]

I ended up catching a Shiny Alpha Geodude!

 

[Ironbite4]

I swear to god, Pokemon Breath of the Wild Monster Hunter Rise is the most fun I've had with Pokemon in a long time.

Ironbite-I was kinda burnt out in Sword/Shield but this is really a lot of fun.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

In case anyone's missing any.

 

[The Doctor Who]

Legends Arceus might be the most fun I've had with a Pokémon title since the original. It's certainly the freshest the franchise has felt in a long time.

Like, I might actually complete the Pokédex.

I never complete the Pokédex.

 

[Daith]

I think you might have to in order to get a shot at the title Monster actually. But if one thing that's irking me is all the boring town quests. And not being able to use Wyrdeer in town makes it worse. Just live with the dang Chimeco already lady!

 

[Ironbite4]

You know you can teleport right?

 

[Daith]

Actually other than the Main Team building I hadn't looked at the map close enough to realize there were more points to do so. My bad.

 

[Ironbite4]

Granted the fast travel in the village is limited to the top of the map but when do you ever go to Prelude Beach?

Ironbite-*throws more balls at Driffbloon Balloons.

 

[Caldwin]

I am glad that with with having to catch multiples of the same Pokémon to fill the dex and complete side missions, they finally allow you to release multiple inside the game instead of having to do it through home.

 

[M. Virion]

I'm up to four shinies without actively hunting or trying for any. Including both a Drifloon and a Drifblim.

This is the most shinies I've ever found in a Pokemon game. It feels weird.

 

[Paladin]

Apparently there is a bug where if you find a Cherrim and it turns into the sunshine form, it cannot be caught.

Wasted THIRTY Ultra Balls on that fucker...

 

[Spin-Out]

i love this stupid muppet weasel.
