Sun and Moon Q&A

Is it true there are some fully evolved wild mons in fairly early routes? I keep hearing people reference encounters that can wipe you out earlygame like Sawk and Throh in BW.

>>29932716
Bagon is on one of the early routes, there's a 1% it will call for help and summon a Salamence. Same thing for Crobat and Gengar.

could someone put the link of the evolution scrip?
I cant find it anywhere

Does anybody have something easier to read than the giant list of encounter tables? I want to know where I can find each Pokemon.

where do i have to grind my magnemite to got it evolve?

But of a general question really but I'm trying to decide if my A Sandslash should have Swords Dance or Iron Defence. Is one or the other better for him? Only thing I can think of is Swords Dance avoids crits going through it, but not sure if he's fast enough to not need the protection.

>>29932851
Do they summon under-leveled versions of these Pokemon?

>>29933037
Yes.

>>29933037
Yes.

I personally caught a level 10 Salamance through it.

Just got to Battle Tree. Can you battle both Red and Blue, or only the one you pick?

Where i can catch venipede,combee,buizel,glameow,roselia,gulpin and swablu?

Is there z moves for the ubs?

>>29933086
Only one. You're meant to fight them as the bosses of the Singles and Doubles modes, respectively.

>>29933023
Swords Dance easily, imo. What are you doing with defensive Alolan Sandslash?

>>29933247
Nope.

Is there any end game guide?

Where I get Beast Balls and find the Ultra Beasts?

Also, I got Tapu Fini and Lele, where I find the last one?

What pokemon in the dex can have the pickup ability? And can they be shiny chained?

How do I evolve Type: Null? Full happiness?

How is the difficulty if you don't use the Exp share?

>>29933614
Correct.

>>29933647
You'll be underleveled for some important fights, for others you'll be just on the right spot.

Can someone post the picture that shows which pokemon can be found on each island?

>>29933492
Meowth has pickup

Does anyone know where to find will-o-wisp? I realyl need it

>>29933689

Does Kommo-o really get shell smash in the battle tree?

Where can I find the Destiny Knot?

can you still chain fish for a shiny?

What priority bracket is Spotlight in?

What are all the riding mons, and what function do they perform?

>>29933796
Yep. Pokemon is no stranger to mons with hacked movesets in battle facilities.

>>29933664
So if want some difficulty go without it?

>>29933404
>Where I get Beast Balls and find the Ultra Beasts?

Halp

>>29933492
Meowth, Munchlax, Lillpup and Pikapek and Trumbeak have Pickup, although the last two have it as their Hidden Ability. Everything save for special encounters (UB fights, Tapus, Island Scans) can be chained.

Where can i find a Pikachu/Pichu?

>>29933847
All of them save for Charizard and the Surfers is the bike replacement.
Stoutland is the itemfinder.
Tauros is Rock Smash
Charizard is Fly
Machamp is Strength
Lapras is Surf
Sharpedo is faster Surf with Rock Smash combined
Mudsdale's HM equivalent is probably Rock Climb, but it's closer to Rhyhorn's function in X and Y than any HM.

>>29933704

Can you do anything significant in the alt dimension, save catching Cosmog?

>>29933784
No, they're at the temples just like Tapu Koko's you visit after beating the last part of the main story.

>>29933992
Holy shit, i was on the third Island already. Thanks!

>>29934058

Thank you and fuck. Time to reset for that nature. At least you can reset IVs at 100 now

So can you only evolve your version's exclusive Lycanroc in each respective version? Like if I have Moon and I want the Sun Lycanroc, do I have to trade it to someone and let them evolve it in Sun? Or could I just trade for a Rockruff in the other version and evolve it during the correct time in my version?

>>29934058
>Post Game will lead you right there

I don't know which NPC starts it.

I went to the Battle Tree, caught all Tapus, I got Type: Null from Gladion but I can't find Looker or Anabel.

Where do I find a Paras?

I'm in desperate need of a good catcher and I remember someone saying that Paras was one of the best and he's available early on.

Really specific question: But does the game have different trees in different locations? I'm thinking those windswept looking highland trees around Mt. Chimney in RSE. Or is just the same copypasted set dressing like every other Pokemon game?

>>29934218
Take a good look at your key item bag look for an invitation

>>29934187
Injects are gonna happen soon, don't worry too much about it.

>>29934275
Lush Jungle or how it's called, where Mallow's trial is.

Can Type: Null breed? Kind of tempted to trade for a low level one as a replacement starter

Also, where do you find the plates to switch his type?

>>29934299
Oh I see, thanks

Can I use Uber tier Poke's in the battle tree? I just wanna beat it to see the NPCs I don't care for the challenge
Example, Latios, Darkrai, something else

Can Ash-Greninja be used in the battle tree?

Or is it a event/mythical?

>>29934275

>>29934655
Stones are found pretty early lying around as regular items. If you're not finding them just use a pickup meowth.

Where can you find fossils in this game?

>>29934691
The stone shop sells two fossils. The other version has the other two.

>>29934668
cool, thank you anon

does lycanroc midnight have different stats?

>>29934886
yes, absolute shit ones at that

>>29934898
why is it slower? i was looking foward to midnight forme

>>29934942
It has a mixed spread and no access to the new priority move. Instead it gets counter.

Is the encounter as slow as it is in the demo?

>>29934964
fair i suppose

Where can I find:
Rockruff
Mimikyu
Wimpod

Is super training still in the game?

And how am i supposed to interpret the encounter tables?

Can Alolan Raichu learn new moves by leveling up or should I keep with Pikachu until it learns TBolt?

>>29934014
IIRC, all the non-legendary, non-UB version exclusives can be caught there in the same places you'd find them in the opposite version of the game.

>>29934987
yes :)

Did they ever find out if liquid voice works like pixelate?

>>29935091
You mean with the additional 30% damage? I'm 90% sure it doesn't.

Is the game actually worth buying?

What pokemon does that guy in the desert want to see?

What can you do with the fossil park thing?

>>29932597

Go back to the school after you beat the elite 4 and battle the principal.

>>29935318
Marshadow is unavailable yes.
What does the guy in the desert say again? I knew the mon but I need to hear his text again.

>>29935310
postgames were always shit, even the battle frontier was just regular battles with silly gimmicks thrown in on occasion

How early in the game is the Move Relearner? I know the location, I just want to know how far that is into the game.

1. I want to catch a Slowking? Do they appear in the wild? If not, where can I get a King's Rock?

2. I'm told Porygon appears in this game. Where?

3. Is Battle Royale fun?

>>29932597
I saw a pic the other day with someone using swampert, was it fake or can you actually get it in the game?

>>29935452
Rose colored glasses. It was still the same thing at the end of the day, the gimmicks just blinded you to that fact.

The only remotely passable one was the Battle Factory, and even that was more heavily reliant on what the RNG let you use as rentals than any kind of actual skill.

>>29935028
No.
What's up with it? Look at the encounters part of the tables, and the SOS parts tell you what pokemon can be called.
>>29935041
No.
>>29935391
No. Either post game or chaining for Poliwhirl.

What berry trees give pomeg and qualot?

>>29935517
The Battle Frontier one that let you pick the typing of the pokemon you fought was good, but required you to do too many battles in a row to get the BP.

Guys, two odd questions;

How early can I get Alolan Grimer?

How easy will it be for me to get a Shiny A-Grimer? Will I be able to use the Adrenaline Orb method to get a Shiny one? I'm a bit worried that A-Grimer is excluded from that method for some reason...

>>29936019
Alolan Grimer is very early in the game, first 20 minutes. Night or evening I think.
>Will I be able to use the Adrenaline Orb method to get a Shiny one?
You'll need to try it out once you get the game.

So I think I just accidentally deleted my save, right before facing the Elite 4.

So.

I'm going to use PKHex to restore my old team, and then try to speedrun my way back to where I was. All the cutscenes are going to make that hell, but I guess that's my punishment for being an idiot.

So assuming I'm one shotting everything, how long do you think it'll take to get back to the elite 4? I'm hoping I can do it in ~20 hours.

>>29935403

Anyone? I've been up and down the cliff and can't find any way down there, there's a cave entrance down there but I don't know what if anything it connects to.

Is there anything like X/Y's super training for farming evolutionary stones easily?

>>29936019
>How early can I get Alolan Grimer?
First actual city of the first island.

>Will I be able to use the Adrenaline Orb method to get a Shiny one?
Likely not because you don't find your first adrenaline orb until the second island or so. You can always go back though.

>>29936072
Download a save from gbatemp and reinsert your char + pokemon, don't do it anon. Those cutscenes will change you.

>>29936104
Go through the meadow, there's an entrance to a cave near the bottom of it.

>>29936118
You can buy Fire, Water, Thunder, and Leaf Stones.
The rest you can get from Isle Aphun. When you upgrade it to level 2, you get a special course that gives stones. I got a Shiny Stone, Dusk Stone, Float Stone, and Everstone from it last night.

>>29936069
You can get a Grimer during the day.

>>29936072
Depends on what level you'll make your team and how perfect they are.
Level 100 6IVs EVs properly distributed? Maybe 20 hours or so. If you're impatient: >>29936183

>>29936118
Level 2 PokePelago's Isle Aphun has the Brilliant Stones path.
Konikoni City has a Stone store.

Is Kommo-o any good?

>>29935525
>What's up with it? Look at the encounters part of the tables, and the SOS parts tell you what pokemon can be called.

I mean, does it just pick a table at random from a list? Is it linked to specific grass patches? It tells nothing about how those tables actually act in the game.

Only true negative is that it lags during double battles and when there's totem pokemon, but only if you have a o3ds. N3ds fixes the problem.

Overall, 100x better than X/Y and ORAS. That's a given. For me though, I enjoyed it more than some older gens as well.

>>29936219
patience

I can defeat Tapu Koko in the forced battle against it and then rematch it after refighting the E4 right?

>>29936260
>N3SD fixes the problem
that's just straight up false, the framerate still tanks when there's more than two pokemon on screen.

still, this game is definitely leagues better than the trash heap that was gen 6

>>29936298
dont even need to refight E4, just go for him

Where do you find the Ice Stone?

>>29936183
Would that really work? Wouldn't I have somebody else's ID or something?

I'll do it in a flash if that's actually possible.

>>29933836
why does nobody seem to know this?

I crit killed tapu koko and I don't want to reset because I would have to defeat the champ AGAIN. Can I fight him again?

>>29936104

There's a crawlspace in Melemele Meadow that leads down to the bay.

How bad is the lag? Same as Gen 6 Doubles, or more on par with Horde Battles?

>>29936399
Thanks!

>>29936350
Well alright then, thank you for the info.

Now I just have to find a save that hasn't already finished the elite 4.

>>29936381
i mean, it may be better than on o3ds, but it definitely still lags on the new as well. i'm pretty sure i actually saw the framerate drop on the overworld a few times as well

>>29936398
5% actually

Can you catch the Rotom inside your Pokedex?

>>29936413
Imagine horde lag occasionally on 1v1 when you have aura's activating or two models with extensive use of particles.
And horde lag on 2v2 when everyone is on the screen.
On N3DS

Can anyone confirm/deny local or wi-fi co-op in battle tree?

If I kill Tapu koko when the plot makes me fight it and deal with it later, will it let me reset for nature/I.Vs as usual or is the personality value locked when the game forces me to fight it for the first time?

>>29936413
Horde battles-tier of bad

>>29936441
no

>>29936393
It is way into late game. Like 4th island. And when you get it its just a couple levels until it evolves into its final form

>>29936441
No. It's not even in the Alola dex.

>>29936260
>Overall, 100x better than X/Y and ORAS

Disagree with this and a handful of your points.

Is Battle Bond breedable and/or can you soft reset for Ash-Greninja's nature?

>>29936480
so, before postgame?

>>29936502
Yes.

how do I get the pikachu cap variants?

>>29936449
Yes. Local, at least. It asks if you want to challenge it alongside somebody else.

>>29936501
No to breedable, maybe to nature.

>>29932597
Which island is Tapu Lili and how do I get there?

>>29936502
Just before the last trial and pre-E4 final boss. So at 95% of the game.

>>29936526
Ya don't

>>29936455
How the fuck did this make it past testing?
Game Freak KNOWS the lag was an issue last gen, and they insist on pushing doubles as the VGC format.

Worlds 2017 are gonna be unbearable.

>>29932597
I have a purple minior and a german ditto breeding in the nursery right now. I've seen nothing but purples coming out instead of any other color, though. I can still get a shiny out of this though, right? Like i know they come in different colors but i guess it's not the case for breeding?

What the fuck is Pheromosa's encounter rate because I only got one after a good hour

>>29936314

Anybody who hasn't beaten the elite 4 want to upload a copy of their save for me? The later the better, but literally any amount of story progression would save me a lot of time.

I tried finding one on gbatemp but all they've got is "100% complete 100% pokedex all shinies" stuff.

Anyone know the answer to this? I'm just wondering if i'm wasting my time.

>>29936819
Also you might want to keep it a pikachu for a little while since you can tutor pikachu with volt tackle which also can be powered up with his z crystal. you get it all on island 2 as well

I found one on the fourth Island in Poni Wilds.

Take a look at this and decide what moves you want
https://paste. ee/r/zYMUr

>>29936803
Route 16 of Ula'Ula Island. It's the white building next to the Pokemon Center.

>>29936806
>Definitive
I actually think we might not know this until the games officially come out and even more people get their hands on it. In the mean time, you know about the 12 hour difference in moon, right?

>>29936803
Route 16 on third island

>>29936907
Thanks!

>>29936922
lycanroc isnt exclusive you faggot

>>29936907
Cool. So im on the second island. Where do I teach the pikachu volt tackle?

How many colors of minior. Are there? I've seen 4 but a lot of the files show 7 or 8 different files for him.

Since the Ultra Beasts are meant to be caught with special balls, is there anything other than the box legendary that I would want to use the master ball on?

How late is vast poni valley? I want to get a jangmo-o

Should I train Sandshrew before evolving it or does Sandslash still learns its moves? I'm curious because of the evolution by rock thing

>>29936895
Yes you can still get a shiny.

Oddly enough, I encountered a similar quirk, where the abilities of egg Pokemon were always the same as the parent, rather than a chance of being one or the other. Works with both ditto, and if both parents have the same ability.

Does anybody else have trouble connecting to the internet when using Luma?

I was gonna post that it can be found in both versions dude. I'm working on it. Besides, the Rockruff evolves based on its origin game, doesn't it?

>>29936989
Well I've heard that you can re-battle the tapus if you kill them so I guess not

>>29937019
Works perfectly for me

What's a good nature for mimikyu?

How do I unlock the IV judge? Dude doesn't seem to wake up no matter what I do.

I caught the jelly fish and talked to Anabel and Looker on route 2. Anabel ran off. Where I go next?

Does the game lag more than oras on a 2ds? Is it worth getting a new 3ds(xl?)?

>>29937091

I don't mean to be a bother but, would you also happen to know a good one for Sandygast and Dhelmise?

>>29936805

No problem:

-You can still easily be overlevelled if you grind just slightly. Reminder that this isn't intensive grinding, this is 'let's have fun with my new Pokemon' grinding.

-Don't agree with the OST. The songs aren't bad, but they're not amazing. The biggest problem with the OST is how much repetitive BGM there is and the fact that the trainer class intro songs have been removed is unacceptable. Also, I'm not really bothered about Red like a lot of people are, but not using his battle theme or even a remixed version is unacceptable.

-There were definitely too many cutscenes, I don't think there can be any argument about that unless you're comparing the game to Metal Gear Solid and I found the story to be lackluster at best. The problem mainly hinges on the fact that if you're not interested in Lillie, the story is basically worthless and won't grip you at all.

-The difference between the Battle Tree and Maison is negligible really, the tag matches would have been a plus if the choice of partners wasn't so random and poor. This isn't really a feature that I'm interested in, but even I had a 'Wow..' moment when I saw the choices of partner.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think they're 'bad' games that deserve to be called bad, but I don't think they're better than X/Y. They suffer from the same problems X/Y had and then some. As for ORAS, I never liked it but then I'm biased against Gen 3 so it'd be unfair to judge. I'd say it's about on-par with ORAS.

>>29933847
Do you automatically save after the credits, trying to reset Tope Keku

>>29937195
>fact that the trainer class intro songs have been removed is unacceptable

I feel like the only person to not care about this

It was really fucking annoying in Gen 5 at least

Do Pokémon gain XP in Battle Tree? Or Royal? There is any fucking way I can battle and gain XP instead of giving comfy stupid juices?

>>29937195
I just want to see online multi battles in the battle facilities again. That's all I fucking want. Why were they removed?

>>29936989

There's one sort of ultra beast that's a roamer that the MB works on, save it for that.

>>29937195
I agree with everything, especially the Battle Tree being maison in disguise. Fuck game freak.

>>29937277
I wouldn't even bother with Necrozoma for the master ball because it only roams into another grass patch in the same area. And it's easily encounterable because it's level 75 compared to everything else there that's like 15 with a max repel.

>>29937236

It just added something interesting to the world. Hearing a little ditty of spooky music when you encountered the Hex Girl or something triumphant for the Hiker just gave you a brief window into what kind of person they were and gave another dimension to the text/sprite, it just gives them some fun character. It's those little touches that make the games so great.

>>29932597
Tell me about the starter z crystals. Are they given out like the Gen 6 mega stones?

If I choose Rowlet and trade it to get a Litten immediatley (I want Hau's starter to beat mine and to have an Incineroar vs Incineroar champ battle) will I be given Decidium Z in the main story? Is there any way to get Incinerium Z before the elite 4?

So you can only get hidden abilities when mons call for help? What are the chances?

Merciless or Regenerator?

Guess I'm using the master ball on whatever you're referring to.

Hey Guys, is Mukrow post game? Please tell me it isnt.

>>29937191

Sandygast is pretty useless regardless, Calm seems best though.

Relaxed/Brave/Adamant for Dhelmise.

>>29937370
Regen for competitive, merciless for casual

Where is the Poni Gauntlet?

>>29937376

Gen starting cover legendaries have had a catch rate of 45 since D/P.

>>29937344
Pretty much guaranteed after chaining for long enough. Took me 14 successful cries for power of alchemy.

>>29937328
You'll still get decidium z.

>>29937379

4th island, but not post game.

piratefag here who installed both versions early.

I'm still really hung on pre-ordering genuine retail Sun for $32 off Amazon Prime...

is it/will it be worth it, though..? I mean, I've been 50/50 hyped as fuck for both games, want Sun way more, though and rather more just more hung wanting the game despite still not knowing all super in-depth features/mechanics/gameplay/details and such but I still know quite a bit, rather, though... the other 50 not so hype/didn't hype much since I didn't/still don't know much about Sun/Moon/both versions

would love and appreciate some insight, please and thanks.

I want Sun because Solgaleo is radically badass and fucking beast looking design wise and he looks/feels/seems like he'll be a good/decent legendary...

I picked Rowlet and removed it from my party. Still got Decidium Z.
The other starter Z-crystals are given as soon as you leave your bedroom after beating the E4.

>>29937376

>Not catching it in a premier ball.

>>29937418
Thanks!

>>29937400
Past Poni Plains which is a postgame area. You know where you got the Machamp PokeRide? A little to the east of that is Poni Plains. It's in between Vast Poni Canyon and Tapu Fini's ruins.

>>29937416
So you keep killing the Pokemon that shows up and using that item that increases SOS chance?

>>29937414
>dialga and palkia catch rate: 3
>giratina: 3
>ho-oh and lugia: 3
uh

In which level the Mons you beated the E4 and Kukui were guys?

>>29937458

>anything but a Pokeball like a good skilled riskfag

wimpy pleb pussy faggot

though I'll props the Premier Ball since white's my favourite colour and it does look like a really nice ball anyway <3

>>29937509
Yes.

Any way how to get Destiny Knot other than Pickup (1% at 10% per battle) or Battle Royale (48 BP)?

>>29936653
Poni Island Plains and rechallenging the E4

>>29937424
You'll always end up with the same two options:
-Waste money because you're a stupid moralfag
-Save your money like a reasonable person

>>29937535
Don't they have the same catchrate? I always use pokeball anyways.

I saw people saying thar Charjabug can only evolves in Vikavolt at Postgame? Is this true?

>>29936548
crap there're probably going to be an event where you get 1 randomly and it's going to be a pain to collect them all

>>29937195
>you can still easily be overlevelled if you grind just slightly
Incorrect, also if you're so worried about that shit then literally turn off the EXP share.

>don't agree with the OST
I enjoyed it
>trainer intro songs removed
boo fucking hoo

Your choice of partners in the Battle Tree is about twice as much as the Maison, if not more. There's also more people to battle. I'm sick of people crying about "m-muh battle frontier" anyway, it was just dumb gimmicks with cheating AI.

>>29937563
It evolves on the 4th island at the canyon, so no.

>>29937458
used a luxury ball on lunaaaaalaaa
also, got two pheromorosorosa on beast balls, one on luxury and one on premier
so, any good balltism for the others?

Can I rematch ANYONE besides the elite 4?

Random trainers? Kahunas? Anyone?

Not counting battle tree.

>>29937524
It just makes you look like you injected it and forgot to change the ball.

>>29937581
Its not balltism if you have to ask

>>29937523
I think about 60-63 since I used PokeRefresh and Exp Share often. I was overleveled and still needed to use items to survive, but some mons on my team weren't pulling their weight.

>>29937604
or you just use pokeball on everything like a lot of people do?

>>29937424
If you liked it, buy at least one.
In the end is about either morals/support to the company or nothing.
You already pirated it.
It can't get worse for gamefreak.

>>29937381
People really feel the Sandygast's really that useless then? Even with it's HA?

>>29937517

>Gen starting games since gen 4 counting Ho-oH and Lugia.

Dialga and Palkia have a catch rate of 45 in the Sinnoh games, Reshiram/Zekrom have a catch rate of 45 in BW, Xernes and Yvetal have it in XY and I guarentee Solgaleo and Lunala have it as well.

>>29937524
Premier ball is better for showing risk since you have to buy 10 of a ball to get them and they have the same catch rate of a normal ball.

>>29937597
People will rematch you after beat E4 as a challenger for the champion title, that includes useless people like the first route Youngster and etc

>>29937620
My first thought for anyone who sends out legendaries with pokeballs is that they're a hacker. Most people who aren't masochistic usually get dusk balls/quick balls/ultra balls at least if they're not going full balltism. It's not like there's a shortage of money in the game.

>>29937606
heh, gotcha
on a unrelated note, if you trade a master ball to a early game game, can you catch the jellyfish on the first battle?

>>29936991
late, you'll have to search on gts/breed one

>>29937581

>Not catching Lunala in a moon ball.

Premier ball seems neat for the Jellyfish and Luxury ball seems like a nice fit for the devouring one.

Marshadow When?

>>29937641

coool. I either knew before or I fucking forgot ;-; due to bad/foggy memory or I never knew about the Premier Ball

Can you get any of the other starters postgame?

>>29937641
I was checking if you meant since midway through Gen 4 with HGSS since Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are clearly catch rates of 3 in the sinnoh games.

>>29937671

Doesn't the game stop you from using balls during that fight.

>>29937597
I don't know if you can call it a rematch since you don't seem to be able to do it over and over, but take a visit to the house in Route 2.

>>29937655
I never heard of balltism but I just use pokeballs because it never failed me to catch everything at full health.

>>29937687

We're both wrong according to serebii. Dialga's gen 4 entry says its 30.

>>29937674
but anon, ive only got one
is the cosmog you get in postgame a gift or catchable? gonna use the ball for it if so
>>29937694
I remember using them, but maybe im crazy?

>>29937576
>Incorrect, also if you're so worried about that shit then literally turn off the EXP share

I was already talking about EXP share being turned off, I didn't realize people here still used it, honestly.

>boo fucking hoo

Well if you're just going to be childish about it then troll somewhere else. You asked me to elaborate and I did, go ahead and throw all your toys out of the pram if it makes you feel better.

This isn't so much about the game itself, but I don't suppose anyone knows if powersaves will be available once the games come out?

>>29937716

It joins you in a default Pokeball.

>>29932597
What's mimikyuu's egg group?

Is it possible to assemble Zygarde 10% after collecting 50+ cells? It's not giving me the option.

So can you catch wild alakazam,magmortar and electevire?

>>29937739
amorphous

>>29937597
There are lots of rematches, and they challenge you post E4


Alright, gotta ask, I'm not sure I've been fully informed on how ZMoves works, waiting for the game to release and all. I read something about how they use a base move to activate, but I've also read they do different things depending on the base move? I know it might not be a fun question to answer but if there is a quick and dirty explanation i missed feel free to point me that way

anyone know if you can change the settings to battle royal, or am i gonna have to do free-for-alls the old fashion way?

How are the Pokemon outside Alola Dex identified? as ???? ? Thinking in PkHex some.
How many boxes have you guys reached? I think PokeBank will be useful from now on

>>29937195
Good points. I see where you're coming from. I did really like Lilie, I can see why if you don't the story wouldn't be that interesting. For me, in X/Y some important characters like gym leaders were completely forgetable, like Ramos and Olympia. So I liked that the trial captains and kahunas had some resemblance of a personality. I'm used to playing a lot of jpgs, so having a lot of cutscenes didn't faze me that much, though I can see how it can to others.
As for the ost, there were definitely less tracks and more reuse, though a bunch stood out, like Guzma's battle theme and vast poni canyon for example.

>>29937748
if you have 60, you can assemble a 50 and then a 10, thats what i did

How far into the game do you get EXP Share?

>>29937771
Damage moves are only based on the original move's damage and ignore everything else about the move.
Status moves add a new effect on top of the regular move.

>>29937879
beary early

>>29937879
Trainers' School. Like, really early.

I'm not finding National Dex, can someone help me? Where I get it?

Even Nintendo knows that it's nigh-impossible to catch 'em all if you haven't spent literal years at it, why else do you think they dropped that slogan in Gen III?

If we're lucky, MAYBE we can expect more of them to show up in a 3rd version or remake, but given that the 3DS is at the end of its lifespan that's really unlikely.
