God, why is the GTS in Home such a shitshow? I searched for something pretty common, but I wanted to see if anyone had one in an apriball. Even common-ass normal pokemon in normal balls and everyone wants a Pharaoh trim Furfrou. LOL gtfo.
Yeah I never look for anything on GTS anymore its completely pointless. Just farm for shiny Pokemon and you can get most everything
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
Any kind soul with Legends want to take my Ursaring and make it an Ursaluna for me? I can give you any number of good things, including 4+ IV moon ball Teddiursas I made for this purpose.
Can also the regular paradox ‘mons from both versions.
Pipe dream would be two of them so my kiddo can have one too.
Thanks to @Iblis , me and the 9yo both have rad raid 'mons now. Which is good because I've been rolling with a Magearna that just doesn't die and is awesome but he'll like the belly drummin'.
Y'all remember how I posted that battle strategy that relies on using guaranteed-crit moves to set off Anger Point?
You know what I discovered? Those friendship events that block incoming enemy attacks also work on attacks you direct at your own allies.
Real hilarious when I successfully warn Tauros about the incoming attack I directed Meowscarada to make!
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
I'm "kupiyupaekio" on Discord.

I may have overlevelled my Skeledirge and Pawmot a bit because I just about swept the Elite Four and La Primera.
...Time to get my butt handed to me by Nemona!
EDIT:
* Champion Nemona defeat'd, we are now bestest friends forever.
* Yes it started raining again. Goodra cavalry has arrived, late as always.
* Just now descending into Area Zero but the tension is delicious. Hope it'll last!

Aaand cue the Ed Sheeran!
* Having a hard time finding the last few stakes for the Ruinous Four. Would appreciate some Dowser/Itemfinder functionality. I did manage to get the super cute goldfish (OF CALAMITY) though!
* Probably gonna let the experience stew a bit before I do the Gym Inspections and grab the Secret Treasure DLC.

Sorry for the tripple poast but sometimes a guy just gets enthusiastic about something he loves
With the rival 'Raidon and the Treasures of Ruin in the box I'm about as done with the base Violet content as I can be bothered, pending finding an IRL friendo with Scarlet.
...Anyways, I just bought Hidden Treasures. Kitakami, here I come!

I had a blast with Kitakami. I decided to catch a whole new team to go through it with and I feel like that's the best way to go so that you don't just out-level all of the challenge. I then did the same thing for the second part of the DLC. It really gave me an appreciation for 'mons I hadn't used before.

I may have to do just that. Also it's kinda silly that all the wild mons are scaled to me being at endgame. Lv60ish Sewaddle?

So according to Nintendo's Twitter, to do the epilogue (out today), you have to complete "a postgame event in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet" (it doesn't specify what), complete the main stories of both DLC, and then claim a mythical Pecha Berry via Mystery Gift.
Curious if all this will be worth it.
Why the crap did I ever make my original name "cloudeagle?"
But, like, you *want* to get 5-star raids. The rewards are very very good. So you’d have to do that anyway.
Counterpoint: nah. I'm the type that just wants to catch all the Pokemon once and call it a day. Which I now can't do because of the bullshit requirements to do obtuse tasks with a group over and over and over and over.

You have to have done at least one Academy Ace Tournament, which you needed to do to unlock 5* raids.
*looks it up* Which apparently only unlocks after you rematch all eight gym leaders. Welp, no epilogue for me, then.
The gym rematches are pretty easy, the highest levels they bring are lvl66. Could probably solo all of them pretty quickly with a decent lvl100 Pokemon.

...I don't think I did the Ace tournament and I absolutely have 5 star raids?
Not that I can beat any of them, because I absolutely don't have the firepower for that, but I definitely have had to back out of stuff after seeing it's five star and thus I can't beat it.

Oh sorry, it's to unlock 6* raids. 5* are just unlocked by rolling credits on the base game.
I did the new Blaziken raid. After some failures (that damn thing gets 8 moves somehow? CHEATING), I was in a group where suddenly it went from 50% with a shield to dead. LOL no idea how.
I was Mew, partners were Miraidon, Bellibolt, and alolan Ninetails. None of the other Miraidon or Bellibolt in any of the other raids did anything that explosive. So good job, rando internet trainer!

Teal Mask:
* Wow, I cannot wait to break Carmine's haughty attitude.
* Kieran's actually kinda okay? But I already have a clue he'll be going off the deep end before it's over.
* So many "new" mons to catch and evolve. And they will evolve fast when they're already Lv55+.

I hope gen 10 is more of this style of pokemon game that is this epilogue.
Going to different towns with a bunch of friends and solving mysteries.
Collect some badges along the way.
No not like XY.
We still dont have a way to evolve an Alolan Raichu outside of Su/Mo do we?
Like youd think theyd have fixed that
Nope. It's why I transferred the shiny Pichu from the HGSS event to S/M, evolved it there, then transferred it to SV.
My idea to fix this is to reintroduce incenses as items that allow the holder to evolve into a regional variant, or for their eggs to hatch into the regional variant.
I started Scarlet (after having beaten Violet awhile back). I was glad I could go to Kitakami as soon the treasure hunt starts.
Arven: Go with me to the east!
Nemona: Go with me to the west!
Then I just get in a plane. See you later fuckers!
LOL. I’m gonna have to play Scarlet sometime and I’m not terribly looking forward to it. But the living dex is gonna need those two legendary paradox.
Also I’m guessing I can’t put the “main” Miraidon in Home? Which is why they just straight up give you a second one? That I traded to my kid for his second Koraidon. So I need the “second” Koraidon to get a *third* Miraidon etc etc
With Shield/Scarlet I just do a second playthrough on a new Switch profile to get copies of the legends that I can permanently trade for the other version exclusive. You don't need an online membership for the extra accounts either since you can access all your profile's storage from within Home.
e: jesus christ I fucking quit with these 7 star raids. 2 hours of my time completely wasted on this miserable garbage, never even dropped this thing to 50%

The actual lore reason is apparently that they eat a ton of pancakes so juat make an Alolan pancake item . Theyve done it before
Like given a choice most people bwould use Raichu A anyway so it should be easier to get
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
I think I'm finally done with Violet, unless they add a must-have through a tera raid or something.
I got all but three legendaries because I didn't have the snacks for them. I wasn't going to bother getting any of the legendaries at first, since I have them all already in Home, but I was told they have their original music when you fight them so that was motivation enough.
I made a box in Home just for the Pokemon you are traded in the clubhouse.
There are exactly 30 Pokemon you can trade for, which is the perfect amount. One for each special coach, the Blueberry Elite Four, the secret boss, and Kieran and Carmine. I don't know if there's anything different about these Pokemon (except the secret boss') but they have their own ribbon and the trainer's OT name and number so that's cool. It reminds me of catching N's Pokemon in Black 2 and White 2.
Also I'm not sure if you're told to do this anywhere in game, but if you've completed the Indigo Disc part of the DLC...
Take Terapagos to the Crystal Pool in Kitakami and you get an interesting cutscene. This is probably a well-known secret on the internet but I had no idea until someone told me.
The implication of the dlc and its impact on future games
I guess Terapagos is not in fact the reason Area Zero is how it is but just another weird Pokemon created by it. Add to the fact that they purposely introduced Terastalizing to 2 other regions implies to me they aren't done with it yet

They should introduce scented candle items for regional evos. To get an Alolan Raichu, you have to burn an ~Alolan Breeze~ scented candle before evolving

Yeah we own both copies tho cuz kiddo. So I'm probably going to like, breed and $$Vitamin EV train a team, rush the gyms, and then swap in my level 100s from Home to blitz the rest of it. Can't do that on a different profile.
