Paldea is supposed to be based off Spain, but if you were never told about it, you would never be able to tell.

The last mainline region that felt like it actually tried to be really faithful to its inspiration was Sinnoh, imo. It also has places that looked a lot more European than anything in Kalos, Galar or Paldea - a bit fitting since a lot of Hokkaido's early architecture was generally based off of European blueprints, but also a lot more respectful than putting furisode girls everywhere in not-Paris and making its most exclusive restaurant a bloody sushi joint.

I kind of think the opposite. I like how the earlier regions have inspiration but usually do whatever themes they want. Whereas the newer ones are so blatantly not-place.

I think Unova was a good balance. The NYC inspiration is obvious and well done where it is but no one would think it's trying to recreate it.

They should go back to making maps in excel.

after the backlash against BDSP for doing that? Pokemon is going to continue in the direction they've been in since Sun/Moon.

It would be neat to be able to recruit some character NPCs to explore the world with for double/triple battles like the rival or a few npcs you help along the way like they did with the battle tower in Diamond/Pearl. Would definitely give you more of a reason to care about the friendship meme this series is hellbent on forcing. Ofc with the option to dismiss them or ignore that feature entirely if you just want the usual pokemon experience.

For all intends and purposes, it was supposed to appear exclusively in encounter zones while using a level 49 Pokemon and repels, without other Pokemon interrupting me, but alas it didn't. I WAS able to encounter it without Repels, after I fought enough wild Pokemon in the area I would eventually find Raikou

I can confirm this glitch also effects Suicune. Still not sure what is going on there.
BTW, 15 IVs total: 12 for HP and 3 for Attack. Grim.

I've noticed that the in-game clock events stopped for weeks now, but I've been too lazy to try and reset it. Well, the last few events require the clock to move forward so that's what I did. In case anyone else is playing along on an emulator of flashcart, if you have a similar problem with the in-game clock, you should use PKHex to reset the RCT. Nice and simple, if you have a real cart you will have to do the same thing when your internal battery is replaced due to a bug.
 
Man I don’t know if this is the place to post about it, but I can’t help but notice that so many people are buying out big box stores of all of their Pokemon cards with this latest set. I know they’re mostly going to scalp them, but like why bother with anything since the pull rates are so abysmal? I keep seeing videos of people going rabid for the 151 sets at places like costco and it’s like all that trouble and embarrassing behavior to get pennies on the dollar in value if you’re lucky.
 
I like how the Primal evolutions of Kyogre and Groudon are most likely references to when the oceans first filled up billions of years ago and then when the sun will most likely overheat as it runs out of fuel billions of years from now. It also makes even more sense with the former being α, and the latter being Ω (first and last letters).

Supposedly it rained hard and nonstop for quite awhile with all the water vapor that accumulated in the primordial atmosphere (Primordial Sea), and eventually this planet will most likely turn into something like that 2nd planet is now (Desolate Land) as the sun runs out of fuel yet gets hotter (because the smaller core means more fusion).
 
I need to get better sleep, so I downloaded Pokemon Sleep.
>we will send your data to whatever third parties we feel like for any reason
>your phone must be placed on your mattress at all times
>you want to charge your phone WHILE you sleep? well how about fuck you?
>also the screen must stay on at all times because lol why not
Never mind, deleting this shit immediately. It’s like they want it to be as inconvenient as possible.

I'm convinced that most contemporary consoomer products are essentially roundabout shit tests
This just supports my conjecture

Not to mention you have to spend time awake after sleeping if you want to play the game effectively.

If it is advertisinv itself as a sleep game it should not take as long as most mobile gacha games.

But no they decided to add in competative level Pokemon tedium.

The screen needing to be on is what gets me. Again, you are supposed to be sleeping. And it quite litterally makes that harder.
 
I wish the games were more like the anime/manga, with events and special interactions with the pokemon you have. Maybe you enter a cavernous place and one of your pokemon decides he wants to fight, and you have to search the cave to find him. Maybe they get angry after losing one too many battles and you have to do x to get them happy and ready to fight again.

Idk, just something to break the monotony of capture the pokemon, level the pokemon, fight the pokemon, ad infinitum.

Make the Pokemon feel like actual animals/little guys/friends. If someone ever does this, they're going to make a fortune, mark my words.

They did. It helped that it was PC as well. Hugely so. Unfortunately they were too blatant in nabbing stuff from Pokemon so now are getting fucked in the arse.

Lmao Palworld lmao

Funniest thing about that is the head dude worked at Nintendo. You’d think he would know better than to steal stuff they have a stake in.
