I haven't seen a full-odds natural shiny in S/V.... at least I don't think I have until I went to my trainer profile and it was like "Shiny Battled: 57" and I'm like "wut? NO"
Is it counting other people's shinies in tera raids or something? There's no way I've somehow missed the sparkles on *60* gd wild pokemon.
Do you do a lot of Tera raids? Because for some reason Tera raids don't show sparkles even if the Pokemon is shiny. Mine's around 30 which I definitely don't remember that many and I have caught a couple shiny Tera raids Pokemon without realizing it

Oooh, that must be it. Dang. So I guess I should just catch everything in a Tera raid? I pass on most of them.

I do, it's a guaranteed catch even with a regular ball so it doesn't cost much
Oh, on that topic I'm catching a lot of Luvdisc since from now until Thursday there's an event with special Luvdisc raids and 5-star ones give tons of L and XL exp candy
So I always wanted to do a weather team so I settled on doing a sand team.
Current iteration
Tyranitar leads with sandstorm ability sets stealth rocks does damage if it’s safe for him to do so
Excadril is the big offensive threat
Garchomp being awesome
Skarmory as a phys wall and utility
Clodsire with water absorb and toxic and spikes
Magnezone
So yeah team has real big problems but I like them all so I don’t know who to replace . I guess I could replace Magnezone with a better special sweeper for type coverage and for an easier time to get around phys walls . Suggestions ?
I don't have practical experience to relay, but I'll note that there are a few ways to cheat Sandstorm damage without being one of the three innately immune types: any of the "Sand" Abilities confers Sandstorm immunity, as do Magic Guard and Overcoat. The item Safety Goggles provides immunity to weather and a few other things, so that's one free Pokémon slot to put the monster of your choice in with whatever attributes you want.
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
God I hate how waiting for eggs locks you out of everything. Let me look at my boxes , look at the Pokédex fucking anything other then go afk …
Yeah I don't get why people like this. At least with the old way you could do other things while you wait. Not like theres an open world full of stuff or anything

If it’s Johto I don’t trust them enough to maintain the amazing quality of HG/SS. Which to me is still the high point of the series even if I loved gen 9.
Something Johto is my guess, Legends Celebi first choice, but I'd accept a Let's Go Togepi or Wooper
Haha. Ive been playing since Gen 1, and beyond nostalgia, I really enjoyed Lets Go Eevee. There was a nice simplicity of a world without 1000+ mons. I have bounced off Scarlet and Arceus because theres too much there for me.
Releasing more old games digitally would be awesome. Would they release the originals or like... Fire Red?

I'm honestly curious what will be in the Pokemon Presents thing. As far as I can recall there aren't really any major announced projects that haven't come out at this point that I can think of (I feel like Detective Pikachu 2 was the last holdout). So I kinda feel like they have to announce something here, but also it feels odd for them to announce more major Switch titles when Switch 2 has gotta be around the corner. Really curious. I'll be disappointed if it's just the same boring mobile game shit they always do and nothing else (there's pretty much always stuff for Pokemon Go, Cafe Remix, Masters EX and Pokemon Unite). Just give me one major-ish game that doesn't look like trash plz. Doesn't even have to be a mainline title - I would settle for a spinoff game like Detective Pikachu or Pokemon Snap (as long as it looks good)
Side note, one of these days I will get the motivation to pick back up the Indigo Disk DLC again. I stopped a little way into it and got distracted. If it's anything like Teal Mask it's probably not super long tho.
Edit: Oh also, I tried to finally watch Pokemon Concierge last night. Does that show get any better? I watched the first episode and kind of hated the shit out of it. Especially the art style and animation. Could not get over main character's giraffe neck XD But also like literally nothing happened at all. I could see some people maybe finding the very laid back style relaxing or something but it kind of had the opposite effect on me :P (honestly still stresses me out a little thinking about it :P) I'm still not sure if I'm gonna bother with any more episodes - it didn't seem like the show was really for me
So the reward for spending all this time searching for the seals is a legendary… goldfish? At least I finally got one open , had all of them on the last chain . Time for the rest.

Shit. I didn't know that. Well, not a big deal for me. I've got pretty much all the shinies I want from this game anyhow.

By "don't show sparkles" does that just literally mean the sparkles, or the shiny color as well? I could see the sparkle FX not playing properly in a tera raid because GameFreak but I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least the correct color (not that you can tell the difference with a bunch of the shinies). Honestly though I think shinies from tera raids are just stupid rare. AFAIK they are not boosted by things like Shiny Charm so it's basically a full odds shiny chance no matter what boosts you might otherwise have. I've done tons of tera raids and have never seen one.
(that said I did find a stupid amount of full odds shinies in the wild.. granted, the sample size is huge compared to tera raids too :P)

It should still be the shiny color but with the Tera glow and the crystal texture and weird lights I definitely find it hard to tell unless it's like, a gold Magikarp instead of an orange one. The sparkles definitely never show and I don't think it's a glitch since they never pop but I believe they do for other players' Pokemon.

I kept telling people that heart gold soul silver were too recent for me to want a gen 2 remake until someone told me it’s from 2010 it was 14 years ago.

I thought that too, but like all of the DS games are kind of a pain to get a hold of now unless you already have them. Im super interested in a gen2/gen5 mashup rumor that was floating around. those are by far my favorite, so some kind of touchup of those would be amazing. even better if they just get some souped up sprites instead of ugly 3d models.

There was some other (surely fake) rumor about Legends Celebi where instead of just being thrown back in time, you are basically falling through different eras and the further back you go everything would turn back into sprite art.
I thought that was a pretty cool idea but I can't see TPC ever trying something like that for several reasons

Black+White might be my favorite generation after the first because I got to share it with my little cousin. First gen I legitimately completed the Region Dex.
And I took it to visit my aunt in Jersey City twice. Once with my DSi XL and White, once with my 3DS and White 2.

Safe to say that it was a pretty underwhelming presentation, since the only new game most people are going to care about didn't show any gameplay. That said, my mood got a lot better as soon as "Legends" appeared on screen. I actually really dislike Pokemon XY, but it's not because of the region or even because of megas. Getting a Legends game out of it instead of a remake is so much better to me.
I guess the TCG stuff is neat, but the fact that the video was 95% opening packs and 5% actual card game goes a long way to show what their priority is with that.

the logo looks more futuristic, Arceus had the name in a calligraphy style if I'm remembering correctly. Maybe they flip it an go to the distant future?

I'm personally expecting it to be modern, but maybe before the region is actually fully developed, so the areas can still be largely wilderness. I guess we'll see, though. Looking forward to details.
EDIT: Some friends discussing the game gave me the idea of a PLA-style boss battle against Zygarde Complete, and I'm pretty excited for that.
There's little bits of more info scattered through descriptions. The asia trailer mentions coming to Nintendo Switch Systems plural, maybe just switch oled/lite but could be a launch title for the switch 2 I guess. And then Nintendo just retweeted the trailer and says "Watch to see the reveal trailer for #PokemonLegendsZA, a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City, coming to #NintendoSwitch in 2025."

Place your bets, people. Are we getting Ebony Black and Ivory White this year, or not?
My guess (based on nothing really) is first 3 generation games released for digital purchase, and maybe a teaser for the next side game.
But since that will most likely be out on the Super Ultra Switch Deluxe U, they won't be able to give many details until that's announced
