They really should just add a shiny mint at this point.

Hunting Fairy types so I can have a more viable theme team, start with Iron Valiant. Get one, but want to move on. Save.
Go for Impidimp and Mimkyu, only get a Impidimp. Reset and scout out a new area. While scouting, find a shiny Tourantula and Foongus without a buff in less than 2 minutes of each other.

Ok.

The purpose behind two games releasing is because one game will have things the other won't. This is supposed to encourage players working together to obtain things for each other. If you're wanting to pick up just a singular Pokemon game, you just look at the exclusives on both and pick the game you think has the cooler exclusives.

That used to be the morale behind it, but these days its just double the money for half the effort. Toggled by an ingame programming switch to go between both versions/sets of pokemon like BDSP has.
 
I thought you were all cucks for saying the game was enjoyable despite it being broken-- but someone got me the stupid game (wasn't even going to buy it)
and now I literally cannot stop playing it. It has been so fucking fun, despite the fact it's completely and utterly broken.

I'm sorry I thought you were all cucks.

edit: has anyone noticed there's WAY more Pokemon using sleep inducing moves in this game (I have Violet) or is it just me? That's been the most annoying part battle wise-- there's ALWAYS some jerk putting my Pokemon to sleep.

Shiney just sound too easy to get now. They've gone from awe inducing to annoying.

The latest pocketmons game I got is Alpha Sapphire, so shinies are still rare to me.

I've been playing the games on and off since the time Gen 1 was new, and I've only seen a wild shiny - that wasn't the Red Gyarados - only once or twice: a green Zubat.

I am now angry a the one who got you the stupid game.
 
whatever I feel like said:
Gold and silver are precious metals? Surely Platinum should have been the name of the remix version for them.
Crystal isn't exactly superior to diamonds and pearls but at least its a gemstone (and should have been the sequel to those instead.)

That is a reference to Liquid Crystal Displays.

Pokemon Crystals: Ever wonder why Pokemon Crystal was called "Crystal" instead of a color? It's named after the crystals used in electronic transmissions, which is how Japanese Crystal connected to the internet. Why Gen 3 games are named after crystals: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5WohS2WgtSk

Sounds like this guy had multiple plotlines in mind for this arc that were 'unjustly' suppressed for reasons like it being "too grim" and "completely and utterly against the message of the show, you psychopath".
and then presented his what-ifs as if they were canon.

It would've been a lot more interesting than whatever we got.

That's what's so annoying about it. The product is obviously shoddily put together, but what works does so extremely well and shows a significant amount of care has gone into making the games. It's a genuine case of deadlines being pushed too damn hard to the detriment of the finished product. If it was given just 6-8 more months, the games probably would of come out damn near flawless or at least technically sound enough to run as well as PL:A does.

I wouldn't say more time would have made it near flawless, but it would have been pushing 8.5-9/10 range if they were given time to polish. It's a case of too much ambition, not enough time, and unlike Sword and Shield, I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing how they continue the story in the DLC. Personally, I'm willing to bet that Geeta is hiding something.

Colour me with rainbows, but since they're clearly working on a DLC, I hope they use this time to also polish up what they have and fix the more ergegious bugs.
 
I, too, was skeptical of SV, and honestly none of the Pokemon I saw appealed to me much. But then all the videos, fanart and just general fuckery that's been caused by the game was too appealing, and, like a fool, I decided to get it. Honestly, I've been enjoying it far more than SwSh. It is hot garbage, but it is very fun garbage. It's quite bizarre how awful the game can actually be (slow down, lag, stuttering, the list goes on), and yet I'm playing it near constantly. Can't wait for DLC.

My only complaint? I wish it had the catching system of PLA, but mostly, I want the fucking shiny jingle to alert you of shinies back. Because now it's me having to stop every 20 steps and look at a Pokemon and try to fucking determine if it's a slightly different shade or not.

If anyone is planning something nefarious, it’s your history teacher.

Some people say that a game is an unpolished gem.

Scarlet and Violet is a very pretty gem that is still half-buried in the wall.

There's lots of little details, specific to just one pokemon.

For example, when it starts to rain, sandygast will melt away, they'll collapse into a puddle. But if it's a shiny sandygast, he'll stay regardless of the rain.
They both thought of this neat lore idea and put the effort to make sure said lore idea didn't screw up shiny hunting.

But then things like the lighting are just so fucked...

Shiny Voltorb won’t self-destruct outside of battle as well.
