    The perfect paradox Pokemon name is Brute Bonnet. Who doesn't want an angry, oafish hat?

    New Pokemon information coming tomorrow morning at 9AM EST. It's gonna be a "haunting, harrowing tale about a Pokemon from Kitakami (the region for the Teal Mask)." This makes me think it's a new regional form, and I'm excited to see who it could be. My hope of hopes is Mawile, who I feel would fit the whole aesthetic of the region and also the teaser image (spoiler for size):

    There's been some hints about this
    that it's a regional Sinistea - they gave promotional tea sets to some press/ influencers at the VGC Worlds competition and when they tweeted the info above it had a green tea emoji 🍵 attached

    May not be what it is, but that's kind of what they've been hinting at

    Ah, I didn't know that bit. Yeah,
    regional Sinistea
    sounds right then.

    Although, a regional Mawile that's based on a
    tea ceremony maiden
    would also fit that hint and be cool as hell.

    Mawile is my all time favourite pokemon, so I'd love to see that, but it seems like quite the longshot!

    Mawile would absolutely be my preference over Sinistea.

    I think that means I can make a whole team of grass ghosts.
    Pumpkaboo, Trevenant, Decidueye, Dhelmise, Brambleghast, Polchageist.
    Or I could if half weren't stuck in sword/shield

    I finally finished my Home Pokedex, all I needed was a Diancie which hasn't been available in the US for 8 years.

    Did I pay $15 for a Pokemon Go event ticket? Yeah but it was worth it to finally have a complete Dex and get a Diancie and the Original Color Magearna reward for completing it in Home.

    Now I just have to wait for the regret of paying for the Poke Go ticket when the first Scarlet & Violet DLC event is inevitably a Diancie

    First off:

    I call hax, she's not forced to wear school uniform :P (please, for the love of God fix this in the DLC Gamefreak)

    Finally got my Mewtwo this weekend. Ah yes, I had forgotten how stupidly buggy the tera raid system is... Sigh.. Is it too much to ask to at least not skip clearing debuff or clearing our buffs messages?? Would prefer not skipping half the Calm Minds as well but baby steps :p

    DLC on the way very soon (in like a week and a half, it's crazy), hoping it fixes the net code but not holding my breath. But hey, Sword and Shield DLC did make improvements to those raids so maybe? *shrug*

    Crazier than a week and a half away. DLC drops this Wednesday

    Crazier than that, since it comes out Wednesday morning in Japan and it's supposed to be a global release it could unlock sometime Tuesday evening.

    Also yeah I did the Mewtwo and used the Bug Tera Mew method and got it on the second try with a good group of randoms. Probably would have gotten it on the first try but after I changed my Mew's Tera type and EV trained it to hell and back I entered the raid and realized
    I forgot to level it up to 100, it was level 15 so I kept dying over and over
    . Oops. Apologies to the other people in that raid

    DLC is pretty fun so far. Only played for an hour or two but was enjoying it. Man tho, playing again reminded me of two things - one, this game is optimized like absolute shit (honestly the DLC feels worse, like, Casseroya Lake levels of slowdown constantly) and the next game seriously better include voice acting.

    But was having fun. Everything starts at like level 55 which feels awkward. I had to quickly abandon my entire party because level 100s were making it absolutely trivial. Which means now I'm stuck with like, fairy/bug types in areas full of poison and flying :P (Hey Ribombee has Quiver Dance!) I hope my options open up more soon because I honestly would rather not be using so many gen 1 pokemon. I wanna use stuff I haven't really used before and gen 1 is just boring. But Ninetails is the only fire type they're giving me so bleh.

    Also NPC spoilers
    O'Nare and Billy are 100% Nemona's parents, right? Pretty sure they were datamined in the base game as such, so nice to see essentially cut content :3 At least, I think so...of course now that I look I can't find them at all T_T

    Edit: Ah there it is: https://www.gamepur.com/news/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-dataminers-discover-potential-dlc-expansion-content-in-the-form-of-unused-npcs

    Maybe always meant to be DLC, just something found in the base game :P

    I don't really care about voice acting myself, but yeah the optimization is rough.

  • skeldareskeldare Gresham, ORRegistered User regular
    Was going to say how noticeable the slow down was. Don't really remember most of the main game being that bad. Hopefully they'll have patch it soon.

    Yeah it's extremely rough to the point I was like "did they just say fuck it and optimize this for Switch 2?"

    I like in the beginning of the DLC that
    they say multiple times that the group chosen for this very neat study abroad program was picked at random. Like, not only am I a champion, I'm the champion of the Champion Tournament and I saved the world from a crazy evil robot, and I only got to go on this special school trip by luck? And you're sending 3 nobodies with me instead of other champions?

    Technically you don't need to beat the game to play the DLC, so...

    So they didn't take the opportunity to fix their shit with the dlc? Figures, disappointing.
    This is the only main Pokemon game I've skipped, I wonder when they'll release a game I want to play again.

    Not gonna lie, I forget the exact phrasing of the NPCs but I was sort of thinking the same thing. The game super acts like you are no one special IIRC and I'm like, "Uh, I am kinda one of the Champions of the region.. at a minimum that's special... not to mention hero of Area Zero and the one who handled Team Star" :P I know it's cuz you can technically do the DLC before beating the game but I found it kind of funny :D Feels like one of those situations where they aught to have tweaked the dialog slightly based on "is flag elite4 set?" etc :P

    A bigger deal should be made about the raidons at least. Just some npc reaction text while you ride it through town would go a long way.

    Not gonna lie, I thought the DLC was going to disable them at first because it flat out does not let you mount at the start (and then you'd have to do something to get them back or else you just can't mount at all). But no, they just silently re-enable them after. Haha. It was kind of a weird thing to me. I guess they don't want you wandering too far at the beginning but also:
    NPC - "Can you go tell them that we're here and there's someone who is ill?"
    Me - "Sure, just lemme catch like 30 Pokemon quick and I'll get right on that..."

    Would it be so hard to give the three generic students who came with you names?
    I guess that would imply they are then characters who would need stories and marketing but not every named npc needs to be plot relevant Pokemon
    And sick kid that requires you to go off on your own seems kind of plot relevant anyway.

    At least there's new pokemon to catch.
    Oh the dex is already half filled? Thats cool...
    And then you get an egg that hatches into a pokemon not even in the dex!
    Filling the dex is the only thing I like about these games, come on!

    Shell Smash to Toterra as an egg-move.

    This is amazing and terrifying and I need to use it.

    The real-life Kitakami is just south of Hokkaido, so assuming the geography lines up the same way it makes sense there's a lot of Sinnoh Pokemon around.
