Skimming the video I think a lot of the difficulty here came from being underleveled. I believe I went in with an appropriate donut and had a fairly chill time.

So this wasn't intentional, but my next special scan had a shiny jingle go off and E: ITS OVER Good lord. The special scans were just my own personal hell for this. If the scan Pokemon weren't required for the dex I probably wouldn't have botehred; I never did all the USUM legends because I...

I think I got like...50-ish hours out of the base game after doing the side quests, screw collection and finishing the post-game story. I wish I had kept better notes. A chunk of that was probably doing the grind for Eternal Floette, so I can see it being around 40+ hours to doing everything...

It's posts like these why I have just been keeping a bunch of extra of most of the added Pokemon, would you like me to trade you one to put you out of your misery

Caught Virizion on Scan #32; I'm up to Scan 35. Ideally I'll get it within the next 2 attempts Does it kind of feel like there might be something wrong with the RNG? Not so much in the distribution of zone categories (special zones being about 20% seems about right, wild zones seem more common...

Which reminds me, I didn't count in the anime for this discussion since it's all over the place in how it depicts the plots, much less the Pokemon within them but It is pretty funny that they just do not matter at all to the plot of XYZ and only show up in a post-series special that we...

Meanwhile the Pokemon most associated with the backstory wound up being Floette! You'd think AZ getting the box legends to power his machine would have come up more than like one line of dialog in the post game (I will assume that surely there is at least one more line and it's jsut not as...

I'm at 27 special scans, with 2 more remaining. I am really wishing the legend scans were like 40% chance. Assorted thoughts as I descend into madness and should really put the game down but I am so close: -The sewer layouts are really terrible for wild zone special scan missions. There is a...

Hey remember that "pokecology" type book Japan got earlier this year? I missed it until now, but they announced a localization of it a few weeks ago, preorders are open. It'll come out April 21st...

It's a shame that despite having such cool concepts and designs, Xerneas & Yveltal just feel like they have nothing going on. It's not like they don't have lore, or anything, but it's like..... Well let's just walk through the box legends Lugia/Ho-oh: These should on paper be the closest to...

I'm watching the video and I don't think there's much to make of it. We see the builds and see...yeah their earliest "just putzing around" prototype in 2021 had a bunch of highly detailed buildings. In the 2022 builds they were pasting those around a lot with a lot of new buildings just being...

Hoennian, I assume Or as the fandom would rush to call it, Corphish-Ho

Meloetta the first mythic to get a regional form.

I love the industry plant jokes/"shoving down throats" complaints when Zeraora's proposed crimes have been: -movie -a quasi-prominent anime appearance in its inaugural generation -a SWSH raid event to get the shiny, which was probably just as much right place, right time -Skipping SV until it...

I am stunned you don't have Rotom. Based purely on my data across 15 scans Battle Zone Wild Zone Frigibax (Avalugg) Special Zone Latias Wild Zone Rotom Wild Zone Frigibax (Goodra) Wild Zone Rotom Wild Zone Frigibax (Avalugg) Battle Zone Special Zone Cobalion Wild Zone Rotom Wild Zone Poison...
