I've been going through it off and on for the past week, but the grind keeps me in that "I should really be doing something else" mood, so I only just made it to Vermillion City. A lot of my time is being spent looking at what I have in my boxes and checking the calculator to see which fusions are going to help with the gym fights, but it probably doesn't help that I'm going in completely blind to what the gym leader's fusions are going to be. Having to strategize for a lot of unknowns is definitely a massive challenge, on top of the gym leader battles having a set limit on how many Pokemon you can throw at them. If it wasn't for the massive experience grind, I would say it's easily the best fan game I've played.

Yes; sorry. I needed to put in more work rather than just letting Twitter ezise the image.
Either way, my hacks are going to be called 'Hessonite Scarlet' and 'Sugilite Violet', befitting how a lot of games are named after precious matter. I wanted gemstones that had names that had the feeling of adjectives while not being very long. Moreover, actual hessonite ranges from red t orange, which fits how the school in Scarlet is literally called 'Orange' in Spanish.
I am wondering on changing Dive with Return and having another move be switched to Frustration, since they gave the Friendship value a lot of meaning... especially since Annihilape i still going to evolve through low friendship. I feel that Larry would give out Frustration.

Re-adding the friendship moves would be great, especially with Return the removal is baffling.
I feel like Larry could keep Facade though, I liked that line he has where he says something along the lines of "Kids don't need to put up a facade" or something like that.

Larry said that facade was the "move of the working adult".

not really
it saves them the effort of trying to reconcile the retarded changes they made to friendship in BDSP with the affection-based moves from when those two systems were separate instead of intertwined to make sure you get a Truly Lobotomized Gaming Experience

I think you should replace Dive with Return.
Unless you want to include the HM of dive in which case I think you should keep it as I've always enjoyed the underwater feature.

Yes. In truth and honesty, Facade was going to be one of the highest-priority reinstations because of that quote from Larry. The only reason why Facade was removed in the first place was because I had to cram over 600 moves in 254 slots.
Since I am going to use pokegold, which does not have affection, there is no need of reconcilation.not really

I actually ha difficulty deciding between Aqua Step and another Water-typed move. I think that was Aqua Tail. I must have put Dive because they have the same BP.

Well I officially hate online Tera Raid Battles, trying to get Iron Leaves after failing to get it on the first run out of the question due to laziness but I managed to get one after ten or so tries. Weirdly enough the bet 'mon I had for it was Gholdengo, all I had to do was swap out Hex for Shadow Ball and swap out its Spell Tag for an Electric Seed.
I’ll also be taking part in the 2023 Global Challenge III this weekend, since I’m mostly doing this for the participation prizes I’ll probably just do my three battles and then get the hell out of Dodge,
Oh, and TPCi just updated the sunsetting page for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online app and released a news post. The game will be taken off of app stores and its servers will be taken offline on June 5th. After that point the only official way to play the game digitally will be through the still-extremely-buggy-despite-being-in-development-for-more-than-two-years Pokémon Trading Card Game Live app.

Fun fact, this is the case for most things
Gholdengo is actually fucking broken in loads of situations due to its good typing and even better ability + movepool (iirc). Has been terrorizing the meta for a while and inflicting its atrocious appearance and accursed existence upon all who dare to use Smogon or the three people that play VGC.
It carries on the longstanding tradition of only the ugliest-possible Pokémon being the most competitively viable that has been staunchly upheld since the dawn of online tournaments in gen 4. God bless the wretched and vile being known as Gholdengo for his service.
And only his service.
man, I still have like a thousand online URLs for TCG Online just sitting in tins gathering dust. Maybe I should redeem them all now so I can get a quick TCG fix lol.
No comment on the rest of the message, it's par for the course with this franchise by now. Depressing that even their shitty-ass terrible mobile games can't be brought up to the most basic of standards anymore.

I tend to do Tera Raids solo but in the case of Iron Leaves (and possibly Ceruledge unless I get lucky with Surprise Trade) I had no other option but to do an online Raid.
Gholdengo is honestly a beast for solo raids thanks to the Nasty Plot/Metal Sound/Hex/Recover core, I only break out other mons like Iron Hands or Annihilape if Gholdengo can’t do the job due to weakness.
I’d personally redeem ‘em before the date comes up, opening pre-Scarlet & Violet packs in Live is nasty due to them cutting down the amount of cards in ‘em (TCGO gives you a digital version of said pack while Live gives you a neutered 5-card pack, the only upside of Live‘s packs is a very rare chance of having one of your common or uncommon cards swapped out for an ultra-rare or higher).
Oh, and the real kicker for the transition is that there’s very little compensation for what isn’t transferred from Online to Live. You get anywhere between 500-12,400 Crystals (Live’s “premium” currency that can be used to buy packs and other “sealed” items) depending on how many unopened packs you have in your collection on transferral while up to 4 copies of each Black & White-on card will be transferred to Live and you get no form of compensation for extra copies or any HGSS-Call of Legends cards in your collection. Decklists aren’t transferred either but no one really cares about that since everyone just netdecks these days.
I’m really only complaining about it due to my old-as-shit iPhone losing the ability to play Live properly around December, I might upgrade it in the near future but I’ve heard that the problems that plague my current model are also present in newer models.No comment on the rest of the message, it's par for the course with this franchise by now.

Speaking of pokemon dominating in the meta, Zacian has been absolutely dominating in Pokemon Unite with no signs of stopping.
This is largely due to the fact that, on release, she was absurdly strong and could almost effortlessly win games back-to-back. She was slightly nerfed later on, but that has done nothing to stop her partner-in-crime Comfey from boosting her to dominance.

Was Zacian in Unite as OP as how she was in VGC last year?

The only thing Incineroar should be replaced with is with an even bigger and buffer Incineroar.

That looks better than most real Pokemon post gen 3/4. It reminds me of a slightly shittier legendary beast from gen 2.
No other team even comes close.
I know they won't, but it's a perfect time to make another Pokemon TCG RPG.

I'd disagree but considering the fact that Rainbow Rocket Giovanni won in his world and got every other evil team leader together, I can't argue against that.
