Art_de_Cat Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 ok clearly my definition of upside down is not the same as the games for evolving inkay........ and where are all the raids at? The great outdoors is empty today.... Quote Link to comment

Of the 400 Pokemon in the PokéDex, you can pretty much catch over 300 of them before you even beat the Champion including a majority of the final evolutions of evolution lines. I'm finding myself catching them for convenience sake instead of putting in the work needed in previous games to catch previous forms and evolve them "the hard way". And it's this convenience of being able to find these final evolutions previously unavailable in the wild, sometimes even before finding previous forms in the wild, that is making this whole experience of filling in the PokéDex feel too easy, lazy, and severely off-putting. If anything, it's almost like using an Action Replay/GameShark/Game Genie to catch anything you please just so you don't have to put in an hour or so of training and/or evolution item acquisition. Until you go to evolve Linoone and spend an hour winning fights with it because that's what it needs to evolve. Quote Link to comment

I just gave the Linoone I caught at Lv 60 a Rare Candy at night and it evolved. Quote Link to comment
The Albraskan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yeah, Linoone evolves at level 35 or up at night. I don’t know where the 50 battles thing came from. Quote Link to comment

The Albraskan Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Oh yeah, that would help. I forget to turn the Y coms on before I start raid battles sometimes too. Glad you got that figured out. What was the shiny you caught? Quote Link to comment
Art_de_Cat Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Shiny Toxel! Found him in the rain near the daycare in the wild area. The Albraskan 1 Quote Link to comment

DLurkster Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Honestly, I don't forget to turn Y-Comm on before starting a raid and I am lucky to get one other player. I feel because of my star rating why I don't get ppl. It seems where you are in the game badge wise determines the star rating. I only have 4 badges in both Sw/Sh, I think at most that can net me 3 stars. In rare exceptions I get ppl if it is Pokemon they haven't caught through normal means or isn't possible through normal means. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm sitting at 361/400 for the PokéDex after playing 88 hours. Still have a few Sword exclusives to get in my game, but I did manage Deino, Scorbunny, and Mawile from Surprise Trades tonight, nabbing an additional 7 Dex entries before saving for the evening.

I could use some shield exclusives, sitting at 305ish myself. DranSeasona 1 Quote Link to comment
DranSeasona Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I am at 367 Pokédex now, completing the ones I can get without trading. I tried trading normally but it’s just so hard to do blind. I wish they didn’t get rid of the global link. On a side note, I find the fossil Pokémon hilarious. Like, they’re deliberately poking fun at palaeontology and how easy it actually is to get that stuff wrong. Edited November 28, 2019 by DranSeasona Quote Link to comment

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I bought Sword at full price- And I lost it within an hour of purchasing it. ... I think even Arceus forbade from trying it out. What the actual. I’ll wait until the game goes on sale on the eShop. 374$3$3:7:$3$ getting physical now.

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I think I misplaced it, or it fell off when I was carrying other games in my sweatshirt. Should’ve taken a bag with me. And too bad I don’t have a warranty. I called my local GameStop. Door buster, everyone is busy. Quote Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Update: I forgot to take the game while I was at GameStop. *calms down* Whatever. This has been a rollercoaster of a Thanksgiving for me. Quote Link to comment
