Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

So thanks to that new App listening to the SV music clearly and it made me realise I miss the old way they did music. Gen 8 to Gen 9 there’s all this other sounds when outdoors and pokemon cries and weather. Not to mention the sound of your bike or flying.

I miss when all you had to listen to was the music.

You can choose the race of your character starting from XY. Since Kanto is based off the region of the same name in Japan, and we didn't see any black characters out of the four Japan based regions until that awful BDSP remake shoehorned a few in. This means that it's pretty unlikely that the main character of SM, who is from Kanto, would look anything other than the default look, you know because that's the closest one we got to looking like native Japanese. How Lillie's family, who is also from Kanto, is all natural blonde is beyond me, but I guess we can chalk it up to anime logic.

I see, I forgot X/Y had that feature. Yeah it slightly irked me your parents weren't white in Moon. Much diversity. At least they could've matched them to your player, but I guess it could imply you're adopted lol, idk.

Is your mom not white in SM? I swear she just got a tan, which makes sense considering you two just moved to Hawaii.
You must be thinking of Let's Go games, where your mother is indeed some sort of mystery meat no matter what skin color you choose(game set in Kanto btw)

I’mm no really surprise they didn’t.

but I guess it could imply you're adopted lol, idk.

Considering how prevelent the wormholes are, I headcanoned that Moon was found and taken in after falling through one and forgetting everything.

I know some people have already talked about it but what's TCG Pocket like? Would you or would you not recommend it?

I know some people have already talked about it but what's TCG Pocket like? Would you or would you not recommend it?

It‘s basically Pokémon‘s version of “fast” TCGs like Marvel Snap, I’d say get into it if you want to but you have to remember that it’s drastically different from what the IRL TCG and TCG Live is like.

Opening packs is quick and is kind of the game’s main draw, you have a very low chance (a 0.05% chance to be precise) of opening “God” pack that contain only Star-Rare-or-higher cards.

Also, the monetization seems to be less in favor of booster packs (a 10-pack opening costs 60 Poké Gold, which costs around $11 USD) and more in favor of accessories like coins, sleeves, and playmats (there are two limited-time Erika-themed bundles for 45 Poké Gold and 115 Poké Gold, the first one costs just under $10 USD and the second one costs around $25 USD). The Premium Pass basically amounts to paying an extra $10 USD every month to open an extra pack every 24 hours and having access to premium missions that rewards a pitiful amount of Hourglasses of both varieties and enough Premium Tickets to buy all of the items in the Premium Shop (which, as of today, amounted to a Mewtwo-themed coin/card sleeve/playmat bundle and an Art Rare Pikachu promo).

 

[Dysnomia]

It's super autistic.

But really I see the main draw of these games to be collecting, and shiny pokémon are the rarest thing you can reasonably get. If you just want shiny pokémon fast then play anything after Black or White. The methods in those games are super quick and even have guaranteed perfect IVs and increased odds of hidden abilities.

I never intentionally hunted shinies. But in Scarlett I got a shiny Banette. I was just aimlessly walking around and there she was chilling by a tree.

I also saw a shiny Gallade but stupidly killed it. I should have been more careful.

Editing to correct the game to Violet. I have low iron. I'm a bit out of it.

Fresh concept art for Sun/Moon

We've been ROBBED. Compare Hau'oli in the concept art, and the absolute empty, low LOD state of it in the final game. Looks like pokemon riding was going to play a larger part in the game, despite being relegated to HM slaves in the final game. That might explain why the ride pager was originally an actual item in the game, almost as if you were going to use it more in the game

What game is the Master Ball capture animation one talking about? Are there any clips of it for people who are Google-averse?

Also who was the faggot that "felt sorry for the Pokemon" being stuck in a master ball? The whole point of the game is to capture creatures and befriend them, like seriously, what fucking pussy pansy shit is that?

Sorry guys, raising your arm is ILLEGAL.

Very good drops. Interesting to see the early concepts for the characters and even the bike helmet variants that were cut from the game.
It's interesting that the earliest concept art pieces had the XY characters, since apparently the finalized concepts for the new characters weren't made yet.

Here is some more Gamefreak censorship/interesting tidbits

So the mediocre design for Mega Jynx was scrapped for the dumbest of reasons, and so were many many other changes. The changes to gen 7 and the new evolutions were genuinely interesting to see, I wonder why they scrapped them.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

they were just used in the anime (up until Journeys where they were replaced with the egg designs used in the main series and GO)

Eggshell designs in Pokémon were such a neat little touch that it sucks the anime's decided to throw all that away.

I wonder if we will get concept art for the really early phases of GS, Spaceworld Pokemon and early Krys for example.

Magnemite evolutions really should've had the Levitate ability, Magnet Pull as the secondary ability, and Sturdy as hidden ability.

(the pokedex even mentions those 'mons being able to defy gravity)

I've played a romhack that actually had those abilities and it did force you to deal with it some other way than just using EQ. Still, it's one genuine niche is Magnet Pull, especially useful for Skarmory. Take that away and what else can it do? Be careful what you ask for.
