Re: Pokémon
I'm getting Sun ... and I've noticed the "Version Exclusives" isn't too big compared to previous games.

Re: Pokémon
Yeah, I hope it's because of the time gimmick and that there will be a huge number of events that are "exclusive" due to the nature of the times the games take place in.blue_kirby wrote:I'm getting Sun ... and I've noticed the "Version Exclusives" isn't too big compared to previous games.

I tend to play games in the evening, so perhaps I should get Sun to balance that out? Maybe?

Am I a talkhaus first? I got a shiny Caterpie this morning (about two hours ago). I know they're pretty common, but still.

Re: Pokémon
A shiny already? You lucky duck. I'm pretty sure mine won't come until I've long since finished the game.
Nonetheless, this is tons of fun so far. Except trying to catch Abra The UI is such a drastic improvement from even X and Y... It's kind of amazing how much they improved quality of life stuff.

Re: Pokémon
I'm moving my way up the story fairly slowly, trying to catch as many pokemon as I can along the way. Pro-tip for the Abra - in the city's pokemon center, there's a guy that gives you 10 ultra balls if you have 10 pokemon in your dex. I got my Abra on my second ultra ball.Zephyr_DragonLord wrote:A shiny already? You lucky duck. I'm pretty sure mine won't come until I've long since finished the game.

I don't know if the feature gets brought in later, but I really miss the chaining system from ORAS.

Re: Pokémon
Actually, it's not true for a different reason. I have the digital version. When you start up the digital version, you have to pick a language. It has all the languages, they're already in the game.Spinda wrote:ok butztarwuff wrote:Pfft!

Re: Pokémon
The calling for help mechanic is brilliantly programmed. If you are trying to catch the Pokémon, it will successfully call for help always. If you are trying to chain SOS mons for hidden abilities, it will never call for help, or fail if it tries

Yep, that'll happen. That's just the universe hating people, and wanting some conflict in there.Ivy wrote:The calling for help mechanic is brilliantly programmed.

This is also why Adamantium Orbs come pretty cheap in Poke Marts.

Re: Pokémon
I think I might get Pokémon Sun because it's got Vulpix and Ninetails in it (don't really care about the two different forms of Lycanroc). However, as I mostly play during the evening, I'll essentially always be catching Pokémon at night. Is that going to mean I'm essentially getting Pokémon Moon except without the version-exclusive Pokémon?
i.e. So what is up with the time-based mechanics? I know that one is time-shifted by 12 hours from the other but I don't know what that means in terms of gameplay.

Re: Pokémon
It means little, other than that certain (early) pokemon can be found and evolve at certain times of real-time. With the Moon version, it just means, for example, that Yungoos will evolve at day in-game, even though it's (commonly) night real-time.ztarwuff wrote:So what is up with the time-based mechanics?

For you however, it means that you have to evolve some Pokemon at unusual times.
