[Pokémon] Scorbunnies and Shedinja: Hatching Dreepy 1000 times
So I'm in the late game story (after 8 badges) and:
I really wish they had went so much farther into this being a martial arts style tournament story, with more side characters built up as potential opponents and rivals to join Bede, Hop, and Marnie. Have fun story stuff with them, make a villain more along the lines of OG Team Rocket, foiling their plans but nothing earth shattering plotwise. Keep the legendary pokemon in the post game, and have the latter half of the story focus on those rivals/friends you meet along the way and during the gyms, so you battled more of them at the end.
Have it at the end where some of them fight each other so you don't actually beat them all, have some twists in the plot (like maybe Dede losing before the finals as an example). I just got really into this tournament battle to decide who faces the champion and wish they had done so much more with it.
I'm almost at the first gym but the wild zones rock so far, aside from the dumb badge limitation of not being able to catch stuff above 20 I get it but ugh back tracking for a xatu
It technically teleported out but I learned after the fact I can't catch it any ways
Ah well turbo ninetails it is cause it's one of my fave pokes, what ever else I find is the supporting cast
I had the opportunity to buy a new bag in the first town
I didn't, though. I like my big heirloom trunk. I bought loafers to match it, and will try to coordinate around it as often as I can.
I didn't want to give up the big bag right away, but I would like the option to take it off so later on when I buy a jacket with back art, I can actually see it.
It allows for both Wyborn and I to play a super acerbic world-weary character. You're going to be the next Champion, Hop? Sure you are
Have I heard of pokemon type advantages? Girl I've been battling for longer than you've been alive
I like interacting with Sonia. A late teen/twentiesomething who went on her own pokemon journey but feels like it didn't amount to much and she's stuck in a rut in life? Very identifiable
edit: Further cementing my old person status I feel like I've already expressed this before, but EH, Wyborn started on Sword, it all came up again and I am super happy

It was a re-occurring joke on the day my friend and I were playing together that we both wanted Sonia to be our mentor/sponsor, not Leon.
Hop can run over hill and dale all he wants, I don't have the energy to chase him
I'm really looking forward to meeting the aristocratic snob kid. I like talking to the TV in place of my character, so I'm assuming he's going to supply me with some good material
I actually quite liked how the sorry played out having more than your player character have any agency or impact in the world. Sonia and Leon are doing stuff. You have 3 rivals with mostly different arcs. Hell even piers experiences growth and change. Hop turns into a hot mess then barely scrapes by in time for the epilogue to figure his shit out.
I just wish there was more. I'd kill for patch/mystery gift or whatever more epilogue stories

Spoilers for towards the end of the game after the semifinals
When the reporter asked me what I thought of Hop after the fight I responded that he was exactly the type of rival I knew he was. Cause ya dude was weak as shit. Guy couldn't even get one of my pokemon down. He is exactly what I expected and failed to rise even over that low bar.

I just want more of a challenge from my rivals. I routinely win every match without even losing half of the HP on my first pokemon.
I have no idea how Hop got through the fire gym with his usual crew. That kid is barely competent to fight the pokemon outside of town, has only 3 low level mons, and while he talks a lot about type advantages, he's never not using his grass guy against my fire guy.
The only fights that I found challenging were (whole game spoilers)
Leon. Partially because I was underleveled, partly because his Haxorus is kinda disgusting and the AI "predicted" a switch in and nailed me with super effective Iron Tail, and then I didn't expect Poison Jab as well.
Shout out to Nessa in the champions cup and her tailwind Pelliper into Barraskewda though, that nearly got me (thank God for STAB sucker punch)
A coworker came up and asked what I was playing, then whipped his Switch out and we spent the last couple hours showing each other our favorite Pokemon, traded cards, sent Switch friend requests, and did a bunch of raids together! I feel like a kid again lol

Yeah I also got a Japanese one in a random trade. I am very happy with my spooky Japanese bud
Yes

now i can get crushed by randos and the battle tower, yaaaaaaaaay!
One day!
Still, they did give it Close Combat; I don't know that that gives it any superior coverage but it's not nothing
rarity of berry affects the quality a lot
Spicy: Tanga, Cheri, Tamato
Dry: Leppa, Chesto, Passho, Chilan, Kebia
Sweet: Salac, Pecha
Bitter: Coba, Rawst, Aguav
Sour: Salac, Aspear, Wiki, Iapapa, Colbur
Neutral: Sitrus, Lum, Hondew
You can.
using 7 of the rarest berry in a flavor will max that part of the rating
btw its impossible to get the highest curry class (charizard) solo or AI assisted
you need an online partner who knows how to fan/stir correctly
I didn't, though. I like my big heirloom trunk. I bought loafers to match it, and will try to coordinate around it as often as I can.

Just @ me with a code and I'll try to keep an eye on the forum
Don't need anything specific in return

Thank you @Turambar! I just tried to go online, but the servers are down. I'll keep checking through the afternoon and will @ you when it's back up :P

I mostly tolerated him while I was obliterating him in battles

@Turambar Strange, if you're on right now, it's not connecting--do you want to try another code?

the game doesn't tell you this anywhere so it lets you set your code and sit there like a lemon until you realize
That's me! Thank you so much~!
