I think you might only be able to dive with a Pokémon's assistance and you'll take control of the Pokémon diving. It'd be interesting if you could dive by yourself but with limited time until you unlock that ability. Maybe this'll happen if you try diving too early in the game to find whatever's...

Pleasantly surprised by Winds and Waves. I'm still curious about what the game mechanics will be like. Given they seemed to intentionally hide that from the trailer, it still feels pretty up in the air. They showed a Pikachu getting caught the traditional way so that makes me worried the...

I saw the video. While Turtlebro tends to get some things wrong in his videos, I do appreciate the effort at compiling the dev's magazine. It really gives insight into how Game Freak used this game as a sandbox to experiment with a lot of wild ideas in. Even if you didn't end up liking the game...

Really enjoying the DLC so far. I've reached the credits and am now doing the postgame content. It feels like it has a lot of things I felt was missing from the base game, like more meaningful wild Pokémon interaction. Outbreaks are basically back. The later parts are *very* grindy but I find...

It's because Delibird is a Pokémon quick to flee in the wild in other games.

I actually think it makes sense to do these given the revamped battle system. Pokémon games frankly don't do enough to really teach players about the battle mechanics aside from games like Stadium 2.

Ok I beat the game and have done some of the postgame content so here are my updated thoughts: -Still love the game. I think it's great overall. -Battle Zones might be the best part of the game. They're fun and dynamic. They also encourage you to swap out team members with your boxes. -Online...

End of day 2 here. I just beat the Rogue Mega Beedrill. I'll have more to say later but so far I love, love, LOVE this game. It feels great to play. The Pokémon you bring with you matter more than ever and it's so easy to swap them out. In many cases, you're highly encouraged to do so. Music is...

Yeah, could be. But I think it's moreso that it's not doing the same thing as PLA and I think people still feel burned from SV. People in general have become a lot more cynical in recent years too.

The reactions to Z-A are pretty similar to how people felt about PLA re-release. You'd think people would be more trusting given they know what Legends is like, but alas.

Yeah I feel like they're very much going for this but since it's so contradictory to what people have come to expect (even if just by looking at PLA), it's raised some eyebrows. The whole point of Legends is to go against the grain of a typical Pokémon experience, and I'm glad that GF decided to...

The Wild Zone gameplay really demonstrates how smoothly the battling and catching work in tandem with one another in this game. It also shows that there's absolutely still risk in letting wild mons get dizzy since you only get one shot at catching them at that point. Also, looking at the Wild...

So it’s Scyther for Kadabra, which are both trade evos. I believe they showed trading in PLA’s pre-release but not the Link Cable so max copium engaged. To be fair, you can catch all the trade evos in the wild in PLA through fixed alpha spawns and space-time distortions. So that may be the case...

Sure, I think it's neat. Certainly a bold choice and it looks great in action.
