When did the whole "if you defeat a static encounter it respawns after you beat the Elite 4" thing start?

What's the best way to grind in RBY's postgame? I'm deciding to complete a Pokédex in Yellow for the first time, and I was thinking of how I'd handle grinding out evo levels for some Pokémon, especially Dragonite. I was thinking maybe replaying the Elite 4 with the exp all in my bag, and a team...

I feel pretty sure this is the case, but if you catch a Pokémon in a game and transfer it to another game to evolve it and transfer back, does it still count as being from the original game for the Home Pokedex? ie, if I catch a Gligar in Scarlet and transfer it to Legends Arceus to evolve it...

While cases could be made for the Dusk, Shiny etc stones (cases I would argue against or at least compromise on "they should be buyable in postgame"), I think at the very least the Ice Stone should be buyable at any store that sells evolution stones. In practically every game, the 'core' 4...

Sort of late to this discussion, but Celebi is one of my favourite Pokemon because they added it to VC Crystal’s postgame and you could do all of Kanto with it; and doing that really made me form a connection. I’ve often wished they’d do similar things for other mythicals I find interesting...

It's pretty odd they never came up with another use for the Dawn Stone. Immediately in Gen 5 they found new uses for the Shiny and Dusk stones and later gens would continue to do so as well; and even Gen 7's Ice Stone would get new uses. To say nothing of course of Gen 1's stones and the Sun...

Do Iron Leaves and Walking Wake count towards the Shiny Meloetta challenge?

Does anyone have a quick list of every Pokémon in the Isle of Armour and Crown Tundra dexes that aren't already in base game? Trying to assemble a living dex for that Shiny Keldeo reward and I don't want dupes ofc

I genuinely wonder if Meltan is because LGPE is by far the easiest Pokédex to complete. It's only the original 150, and unlike LA's Shaymin/Darkrai requirement does not need Mew either. As I recall you can get everything without trading with some effort, too. Guess they just don't want to give...

Can confirm from experience that they want Shaymin and Darkrai if there was any doubt. For some reason they're the only ones from my living dex that me-from-a-year-ago didn't transfer into Home, and it wouldn't give me the gift until I did

While I am in general agreement of the post above, I think what prompted it does get at something that's been nagging me for a while: that parts of the tier lists are too specific and don't take into account that there are a lot of reasons people want to replay the games in an efficient manner...

Sorry Cresselia was going to be Psychic/Electric? When it already has Levitate?? Good god

I fully never knew this, thank you! That's actually rather frustrating as G-Maxes otherwise total a round 30 which fit satisfyingly, perfectly in a single box... but Toxtricity just has to break that now :( Gen 6 Living Dex Volcanion all over again...

Going off of this post but in a more positive direction, I find it interesting how few games Unown is in. Annoying as this can be when trying to complete a Pokédex or Living Dex with one of the few non-legendary Pokémon incapable of breeding, I think it really really aids its sense of vague...
