I still want to know if you can unfreeze lusamines collection in this version or not...
Id go as far as to say that the npc/trainer clones were kind of charming in a way back in the older games
When you're trying to present a super serious plot with a more detailed world and a focus on cutscenes, those kind of things stick out like a sore thumb

Was it? Maybe I just visited festival plaza early out of curiosity in Sun and Moon and got it out the way like that.
Beat the Grass Totem. The changes to the fight are pretty great. They essentially combined the strengths of its 2 SOS pokemon into 1, while also giving it a counter against a certain type.
Really enjoying how all the Akala Island totems have been improved, looking forward to seeing what they've done for the rest.

The water totem fight was pretty funny for me. It swept all my guys, then all I had left was Charmeleon. Thought I was screwed, but then I just one shotted the totem and its minion with dragon rage. (totem had like 80% health) Charmeleon coming through. Glad I got it through island scan.
Wait, Zoroark is in this?! Dammit, I did not plan on getting this...
You can catch zorua in the grass next to the trainer school if you do get it
Dragon Rage is crazy strong at lower levels when everyone has super low HP since it does static damage.
Land mines all over this thread for people who didn't play the original S/M. >_<
My power cut out for a couple hours earlier and I had nothing else to do so Pokemon it was. I'm probably over-impressed considering I haven't played Pokemon since Platinum, but the graphics always surprise me on this. It's so different from when we were still using 2D sprites.
I went with Rowlet for my starter, he started off with really high HP. 23! I'm used to 20 being the average for lvl. 5 starters.
Is there any way to speed up battle animations just a bit? Maybe I've been spoiled by other JRPG's in this modern era, but something about the slowness of battles irks me. Not enough to ruin the experience of anything though. :)

You can skip battle animations altogether, but no in-between in terms of speed.
Ah, so like Neptunia then. Well, better than nothing! Thanks! :D
They really should implement a fast forward option during battle in the future. I'd like to see the animations but some are just way too long.
I do wonder with the Dusk Lycanroc, since it comes with Happy Hour, how viable is it competively? Using Normalium Z, Z-Happy Hour gives an all stats up like Z-Coversion with Porygon Z. Give it Stone Edge, Drill Run, then one of Accelrock, Brick Break, Zen Headbutt, Iron Head or even Outrage. I imagine that might make Lycanroc fairly viable competitively, no?
Just noticed this post you did earlier....um, it's the same as Sun/Moon. You get the red color splash after completing an evolution line, and shiny holographic ones when you catch a legendary.
I had to cheese it with Mimikyu + Swords Dance + Z-Move lol
If you have Custom Firmware, you can use a plugin to make text speed instant. That's about the only thing further you can do.
I realized this late last night too. I thought it happened when you finished a page, but I realize it's the evolution line now. I'm glad this still happens because I love it.
Well I definitely wasn't prepared for the fire trial totem. Wiped out 4 of my Pokemon, and all of them had type advantage lol.
It's Game Freak, you know how much they love their unsolved mysteries.
Thanks! Will get the ultra version then.
USM acknowledge that we have a father and that we brought their truck with us.
I wonder what he's doing.
Difficulty seems the same to me. Might be a little easier to build a good team since the Pokedex is expanded so much.
They trimmed down the opening, but they also added in a couple (like that stupid one where Lillie shows you how to use ledges - I really don't think we need more than an NPC's dialogue for that).
It's about the same difficulty overall, but there's some nice difficulty spikes in the later trials. I expect people to have issues with the changes to the electric trial, the new last trial's totem, and the legendary fight.
The difficulty has been increased.
The level curve is slightly steeper, movesets have been improved, boss rosters have been increased, and totems have improved movesets/synergy with their SOS partners.
Gen 7 just has a ton of broken stuff (exp share, pokemon refresh, probably that Rotom stuff) which makes the game so easy that you're probably not gonna notice unless you intentionally restrict yourself.
Is anyone else having this issue with Rotom?
I'm on Akala and just finished Lana's trial. Every since I got to Akala, Rotom has been constantly giving me "advice you didn't ask for". I mean he does it after almost every battle and it is incredibly annoying. I haven't figured out any way to get him to stop.
Does he stop doing that or is it possibly a bug?

Personally I think it's a lot harder, but I also set some restrictions while playing through the game so that's on me (no EXP Share use, playing on Set, no starter). Doesn't help that my team only consists of Ribombee and Zorua lol.
Well. I've hit a roadblock with the fire trial, time to get a water type.
Also, Lana's Trial had a neat twist at the end. It actually ruined my plan that I had in store to fight Wishiwashi.

Reached the first trial on my monotype run. Current team:
Ghastly
Zubat
Grimer
Ekans
Spinarak
Also got a second Grimer but haven't used it at all so far. Level of all of them is 12-14. So far, I enjoy all the small changes, like the added scenes, new Surfer trainer, new battle themes or just the fact after a win the enemy trainer moves a little bit instead of being a total stand still.

I really miss the speed of BW, couldn't get through SM because of the excruciatingly long battles (including loading, etc). Think I just broke after having to endure it with X/Y and ORAS.
Even more comical if you use Ditto you find out most NPC Pokémon only have two moves.
Even Kahunas' Pokémon
Difficulty in this game is really weird. On one hand you have stuff like this and on the other you have the Totem Pokemon or stuff like that Cleffable which is just so much harder than everything else in the game.
It'll level out when you get more Pokes. Zorua isn't too great in-game but Ribombee is pretty OP in-game.
It's another archaic thing that I hope they do away with in the Switch games. They only recently started giving boss-like trainers unique movesets and IVs, the older games auto gen the moveset depending on level.
It was a good way to easily and quickly generate content in the past (lots of NPC trainers to fight), but I really want them to step it up. Not expecting much though. :(
wow...Kiawe's trial wrecked me...
maybe i need to switch our some 'mons.
Right now I have
Dartrix Lvl.27
Litwick Lvl.25
Larvitar Lvl.24
Rockruff (Event) Lvl.24
Inkay Lvl.24
Charjabug Lvl.23
Keeping Rockruff until I get him to evolve, which will be in about 3 hours from now
not sure who I want now. maybe need some kind of Water-type.
Maybe switch our Litwick for a different dual-Fire type, since Decidueye would take care of Ghost-typing in the future

I didn't even consider Z happy hour, that might give lycanroc the advantage it needs but you'd have to do it on a safe turn to not get blown up.
