>[MAX SPE SALAZZLE MOVING VERY FAST]
That trial is overrated
>>30416078
Totem Salazzle kind of kicked my ass. My own fault, my team was stupidly weak to Fire and had no STAB moves against it or Poison. I did survive, but it took out four of my team on the way.
>>30416078
>>30416543
Fuck, I was just about to post that. Time for plan B!
>>30416618
Plan B Best Plan. well done anon
I need to commision art of Mudsdale fucking Salazzle to commemorate how badly it raped that totem
Shit wasn't funny. I'm convinced anyone who actually thought it was is a fucking retard or a child.
In fact, it broke my reality and reminded me that I was playing a game made for 10 year olds.
>>30416078
>come my fine hiker!
>Bulldoze Mudbray
>>30416668
Ahaha, it did rape Salazzle.
>>30416673
>Expected Kiawe to be the no-fun guy because he has a permanent scowl
>He's got the most entertaining trial, and is a good sport
Did they fuck?
>>30416668
You shouldn't have had a Mudsdale at that point. That Totem was in the 20s and Mudbray doesn't evolve until level 30.
>>30416618
We need an exploitable version of this.
>>30416957
Mudbray's dick isn't big enough for how badly he raped that Salazzle
>>30416673
You probably unironically main reaper don't you?

MFW IS THIS BECAUSE MY BROTHER WAS THE ONE WHO FINISHED THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT TRIAL WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND I REFUSE TO REDO THE GAME BECAUSE I GOT A FUCKING FEMALE POPLIO REEEEEEEEEEE
>>30417025

Save some capital letters for the rest of us, please.
>>30417025
>>30417092
>>30417050
I got a female Popplio too :^)
>>30417182
I got a female Rowlet. I don't really care one way or the other, but it was kind of neat.
>>30417025
>Reach ghost trial
>It's fucking Fatal Frame: Pokémon Edition
It wasn't difficult at all but making use of the Pokéfinder like that made it my favourite trial.

The actual fight was a letdown following the gag bit. I one shot the Totem PKMN with Mudbrey and Earthquake.

>>30417025
>>30417092
>>30417168
Dude that room was fucking weird, too. First time in a long time Pokemon has been the right kind of creepy.All those pictures and crayon drawings of some little girl with her Pikachu? Made me shiver. Do you think she died when the Tapu angrily destroyed the shopping center? What if the Mimikyu is her dead Pikachu?
>>30417434
Should have restarted, I'm super anal about my all female pokes rule but not even I would have a female machamp, incineroar or conkeldurr.
>>30417384
Vikavolt was the only Totem that gave me trouble...
>>30417580
Yeah, in hindsight i kind of regret it, but i was resetting for a semi-acceptable nature and when Brave came up i was just like "fuck it, it's gonna be slow as shit anyways once it's an Incineroar"
Still a complete bro (or sis, i guess)
>>30417384
I really liked that part, too.
>>30416078
>>30416673
>not wanting to have fun
>>30417578
Even its dex entry is a bit creepy, at least in sun anyways...
>"Its actual appearance is unknown. A scholar who saw what was under its rag was overwhelmed by terror and died from the shock"
>>30416078
>>30418063
inb4 somebody posts that retarded "omg u guys Mimikyu is Porygon" theory
>>30418063
SM has a ton of creepy or violent dex entries in general. It's actually kind of bizarre.
>>30418147
>SM has a ton of creepy or violent dex entries in general
It's literally genwunner pandering.
>>30416078
I realized at some point Kiawe was just fucking with me
Totem Salazzle wasn't even that bad either. Easily the most amusing trial in the game.
>>30417578
Nah, the room had my posters and palers which detailed certain parts lf pikachu's appearance. My guess is that is used them, the photos and they drawings as a referance when making/restitching its costume
>>30418147
>>30418193
Now the question is
Is Rotom-Dex deciding not to filter anything about how horrible or even scary Pokemon can be, or is it just fucking with you?
>>30417578
Also Ashnime Pikachu photo along the drawings.
Good detail.
>>30418206
Kawe doesn't really care about being a Trial Captain, anyway. Post-game reveals he wants totravel overseas to study dance.
>>30418323
Yeah, that little side event really helped flesh out his character all the more. Poor guy. I think that's what these games do a pretty good job at, making these Trial Captains feel like real, believable people, with their own lives, families, and ambitions.
>>30416078
>>30418323
and then he gets fired from his shitty job at the supermarket because his manager's a grade-a dick
and now has no way to pay for his studies abroad
that's literally just the end of it
he walks away sad that he'll never be able to pay for college now
and that he'll basically be stuck in alola doing trial captain shit until he's old and gray
and then you never see him again
meanwhile, you get a cool million bucks from interpol for running around and catching UBs with pokeballs literally designed to catch them without effort
but you are given no way to be an awesome friend and help kiawe financially
you just get a stupid amount of money to spend on nothing because you can't possibly need to catch anything else at this point in the game
you're just rich and bored
all because you're special or something
meanwhile kiawe's dreams are dead
and the person who's most able to help him (you) is blowing all their money on clothes
or TMs that they won't even use
now that's some lazy bullshit right there, game freak
let me help my hunky dancer friend go to college in hoenn or whatever
>>30417384
>accidentally chose the wrong answer
>silhouette of Sophocles getting his fat ass zapped by the security system

I didn't even see a Salazzle beforehand so that shit fucking scared me.
>>30418874
>you will never catch a kyogre and brag about it to lana
>>30418920
Same anon, it was 3 in the morning and I was expecting anything other than a Salazzle being large in the background. Gave me a good spook
>>30416078
>>30417025
Also Mimikyu can be seen walking behind the gate after the trail.
>>30416078

I really liking how the trials lead up to their final battle. The lurantis and wishiwashi intro were pretty good too.

>>30418144
what?
>>30419112
so anime mimikyu is going to be the totem in the games, right?
>>30420352
Anime Mimikyu fucking hates Pikachu, though. I didn't get that vibe from the Totem.
>>30420417
how did it get a picture of Ash though?
>>30420434
nods to the anime are easter eggs, not canon
>>30416078
>>30416775
They're most likely bffs but I wouldn't be surprised if the Totem Salazzle used them as boy toys.
>>30416078
>>30416078
>Totem Wishiwashi
>>30416078
Took me 3 or 4 tries to beat that salandit. It outsped my whole party and 4/6 were weak to fire

>Lapras is getting scared
>>30421279

I didn't expect it to be behind me
>>30416078
I didn't know what the fuck was even going on
I expected one thing and got something completely different
I fucking loved it, my favorite trial

>Post-game
Nope, that happens as soon as you're able to leave Akala.
As a fag who wasnt spoiled by the Pokedex leak, Salazzle caught me off guard big time
Fucking love it
It was so much fun.
It was all so much fun.
>>30416760
That actually surprised me too. He's reserved, and definitely an introvert, but his sense of humor is great and he definitely had some fun coming up with his trial.
>Fuck it's a memory game I didnt pay attention
>Phew I chose right, guess I have to pay atten

Still my most unexpected moment in any pokemon
>>30417025
Not gonna lie, the subtle nods to Fatal Frame and Silent Hill made me smile. There was a hole here. It's gone now.

>>30416078
I was in a hotel lobby with my buddy at three in the morning when he did the fire trial. After laughing so hard we couldn't breath we had to sit through that ridiculous Marowak dance snorting through our noses while we tried to hold back laughter in anticipation of whatever the third difference would be.
>>30418193
>Dex entries that are actually unique rather than just being reworded entries from previous games

Makes it easy to deal with Alomomola, but Totem Wishiwashi can still be a problem if you don't get its health down quickly.

Can you tell the differences between an Illumise and a Volbeat at a glance? How about a male Pikachu from a female Pikachu? An Arceus from a Silvally? A Male Combee from a Female Combee? A male Salandit from a female Salandit?
If you answered "No" to any of these, you are a BAD TRAINER.

I mean, it was amusing but not funny, also the first question already had set the possibility of the whole trivia thing being cheap puns.
>>30433719
Mimikyu would tear that up, and I can't imagine someone doing a monoghost run and being stupid enough to not use Mimikyu
>>30433760
Mimikyu doesn't learn a fairy move until after the trial.

>>30416078
too lazy to edit in a "top mud" caption
>>30430103
I got stuck on the first one because I couldn't tell if he meant the Marowak that started in a specific spot or one that ended in a specific thought. Thought it was the former, turned out to be the latter. Fighting a Marowak 3 extra times doesn't help going into the following fights.
>>30417025
the supermarket had to be the shittiest and most halfassed "spooky" area in a a Pokemon game ever
>>30434335
the idea of ghost/monster behind you in a room that is never existed is pretty common, but that trial uses that idea perfectly.
>>30416078
>>30431409
>Male vs. Female
My ability to notice these instantly makes no difference for my effectiveness as a trainer.
Illumise vs. Volbeat doesn't make much difference either because they're both extremely similar in how I should deal with them.
Arceus vs. Silvally is actually easy to discern at a glance.
>>30417580
I insisted on female machamp, alakazam and conkeldurr because it was possible.
Same for male primarina, gardevoir and bellossom.
>>30416078
literally the best trial ever

>>30416078
Are fuggin kidding me?

It literally took me three tries for that question. I didn't notice the 'Hiker' option and just thought it was there to block the view or something.

Its not my fault you have a shit sense of humor
Its also not my fault id rather have a real challenge
No wonder why theres never been a pokemon league or why kukui got wrecked by kanto.. nobody in alola takes pokemon battles seriously. Not even the trial captains who are "supposed" to test trainers skill but instead play games with trainers and say, "well your entire team of six beat one strong wild pokemon accompanied by a shitmon... okay you pass!"
