I'm surprised we don't even have that many Bug/Poison Pokemon. Last we got was Scolipede from Gen 5, and out of the narrow roster only Dustox could be considered a defensive Pokemon. Let's hope we get something in the next game.

The thing is Bug/Poison is just done better by Dark/Poison as Drapion proves.

So is there some special secret trick to getting through that "failed to authenticate" error message in Pokemon GO, or am I just completely fucked?

I lost an old account of mine that way. It simply wouldn't let me log in.

I hope we get solgaleo and Lunala returning at some point because of the stupid gen V curse of “shiny locking” for no reason. Though fruit punch soaked solgaleo and lunala do look somewhat silly.

Solgaleo represents the sun yet isn’t a fire or electric type for some reason. They are a steel type. Which is weak to fire and electric types/the very thing they are supposed to represent, the sun/light and makes no sense for them to be. I swear the japanese are having alcohol poisoning induced lapses of judgement when making this stuff.

Blood moon Lunala is awesome, it's Solgaleo that looks silly, the bright red doesn't suit it at all.

And to be fair, the sun isn't on fire. For fire you need a combustion reaction and what the sun is undergoing is nuclear fission, and steel isn't weak to electric. Of course, to be scientifically correct they'd also have to stop making mushroom Pokemon grass type, so who knows?

Well Nintendo can’t restore you stuff if they delete it and tell you to go ask the Pokemon people. And Pokemon people don’t restore stuff that’s Nintendo’s job. Never mind that you can show proof of what you had and it was all Event mons so being given that shouldn’t be too hard…and of course you only kearn this after going through a giant circle chain of emails constantly having to go through their bs proof it’s your account process every few emails until you finally get someone compitant. Just the sheer amount of circles you go round in with them going ‘try someone else’ is bonkers. Add to the fact that actually finding contact info for the correct place is not as obvious as you’d expect. Took absurdly long time to get a straight answer.

This is why I truly belueve them not allowing you to save everything to an SD is the worst thing the Switch ever did, why not having Cloud backups for Pokrmon is shit that needs to be fixed and I now have a second Switch. Because not going tjrough that bs again.

Yes. The pain of trying to deal with that issue was so great I spent several hundred to make sure I never had to deal with them ever again.

Why in the ever living fuck would Nintendo start giving good customer service if it means they lose out on a potential console sale?

Quit rewarding these people.
 
whatever I feel like said:
It took Mojang/Microsoft a full month to send me a "you're fucked" form letter when I found out my old Minecraft account had been hacked and stolen.

Exactly. It wasn’t so much I wanted stuff back as it was I was trying to find out if I could even get it back.

All I ended up learning was customer service was staffed by people that did not know what they were talking about and likely did not even speak the language.

If you thought that was bad, then you should see the horror stories about Nexon's customer support with their games, namely MapleStory. One person had to wait 2 years, to get a response to a support ticket he submitted.

This reminds me of that time when I called support because I changed my 3DS's clock and my Pokemon games locked me out of daily events for two weeks. Nintendo's customer support in my region also includes a much larger country that speaks a different language, so not only did I have to explain a very rare issue but I had to deal with a language barrier as well.
We were struggling to understand each other, it was pretty clear the staff member was giving me basic electronics 101 advice like "have you tried turning it off and on again" because she couldn't understand what I was saying, and when I finally managed to get her to understand she told me it's not a bug it's a feature and to just wait lol.

Honestly, they should just ask the customer what lanuague they want when brining up the issue so it goes to the right person

Sorry, autism kicking in. I think you meant nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the opposite. We have nuclear fission reactors that split the nucleus of an atom into smaller parts. The sun smashes them together until it can't anymore. We don't have functional fusion reactors that reached net power yet unfortunately, but they have made net positive reactions. Go ahead and autism rate me now.

Yea i made a new one, still got the "failed to authenticate" message. At this point I'm convinced my device is probably shadow-banned or something. Didn't do anything different to my phone before or after that error popped up

Just on the off chance I could get some ACTUAL help, I replied back saying it was still having this issue and the same person replied back telling me to check my google account... even though in my initial email, the first reply, and the ticket itself it says "Pokemon Trainer Account". I have no fucking clue where they got Google from, but apparently they also wanted me to take a screen recording of my phone while i do the login process.

Fuck that shit.

Yeah, you're right, I misremembered, It's been a while since I've read up on stars.

That's odd. Can you log in to your old account using another device? To clear up if it's a phone thing or an account thing. I haven't played the game in years so I'm just brainstorming.
 
I got to ask; are any of the more recent Pokémon games really worth playing? I mean, I had fun with Pokken Tournament, but what about Scarlet & Violent, or the DP Remakes, or Mystery Dungeon DX, or... well, any of them?

Legends Arceus might be fun if you can find it for <40 bucks. New Snap or PMD DX are alright spin-offs. Avoid everything else.
