I'm a sucker for moo moo milk tough.
I get a laugh at that Furisode Girl in the Battle Chateau who claims she spent a ton of money to have her Pokemon raised... only to send out Audino.
But the Rich Boy isn't in the post game, he's on an early route with a Level 8 Zigzagoon. A normal Potion or at most a Super Potion would heal it to full HP. Now to be fair a Full Restore also cures any status condition... but I seriously doubt anyone would use a status inflicting move on it. :P Maybe later in the game when you re-challenge him and it has evolved (and post game he gets a male Pyroar), but at the start? Actually he should technically not be able to buy Full Restores, I question whether he has any badges. :P
During the main story I always give out a small "yeah!" whenever I find a vending machine or later on when I find the Moomoo Milk/Ailment curing item. Honestly the standard potion items are kind of outclassed. Sure you can buy them in bulk unlike the vending machine, but that's just for convenience and honestly something that could easily be changed. You know what, I think they should get rid of the status ailment curing items and just have the Potion, Super Potion, and Hyper Potion also cure status ailments. That way it gives them back a purpose, you can either use a plain old water, soda, or lemonade to heal some HP OR you can use a Potion which heals some HP AND cures status ailments. Heck, if they did that I'd even suggest selling the drinks in the marts as they'd now be doing different functions.
In any other RPG, that's the type of enemy you'd steal from and sell Elixirs to buy early game equipment.
At the same time I'm insanely rich at that point of the game. If I was insanely rich at the beginning of the game and can buy full restores all the time I'd buy myself a ton right away!
II Honestly like Diancie mixed, DStorm fares great even with minimal investment.
To each their own. It's just that to me, it feels like a handicap Game Freak ended up giving it that it ultimately was more than able to work around/put to use.
He is a great Pokémon... Sadly it's hard as fuck to find.
With there being over 700 Pokemon now its not hard to forget certain Pokemon aren't easily rememberable. At least until you're reminded of them.
But they are being consistent. Assist/Challenge mode was only a thing in B2/W2, and likely will never be touched upon again as they want to be consistently easy to bash through to the post-game and the competitive stuff that entails.
It never hurts anyone to have a hard mode option
Ah, but as Detective Barricade said they are being consistent with not including the Battle Frontier. See, we got a Ruby & Sapphire remake, NOT an Emerald remake. Had we asked for an Emerald remake then MAYBE we would have gotten the Battle Frontier along with other things that Emerald had done like:
That actually isn't consistent. HeartGold/SoulSilver was a hybrid of Gold & Silver and Crystal It had a modified version of the Suicune/Eusine story, the Generation IV Battle Frontier is in the same location as Crystal's Battle Tower, and the GTS is in Goldenrod City, the same location as the Pokémon Communication Center in the Japanese version of Crystal. It wouldn't have been out of line for the Battle Frontier to return.
YOU SUCK MCBAIN!
No, but the one time they did try to implement it they did so poorly. Only a couple levels higher, important trainers may carry an extra Pokemon in their teams, and may carry a move that's super-effective against the obvious counter, (Roxie's extra carries Mud Slap for Magnemite) and you have to know someone who's already beaten Black 2 to unlock it for you. I'm sure many casual players didn't even know about the Assist/Challenge modes until they beat the game when it unlocks for the respective games and forgot about it soon after.
Doesn't Masuda method go by country, not language?
