Consider you have a infinite amount of bulbasaur charm and squirtle to catch so you can even afford to try some.
However with limited movesets and no abilities, they're quite meh
I think they should make the process faster. Increase yields from pokemon or have easy +3 stat mons to farm off of. XY's horde evs was ten times faster than Call for help mechanic and I think they changed that to drag it out.
I feel if you wanna play legit you gotta still stay by actually being a trainer. Otherwise just generate them and call it a day

So I've started playing the game and the idea of it also being targeted at returning players is soooo obvious with the subtle nods to nostalgia (such as trainers having the same poses as their RBY sprites).
I'm liking the fact you can change nicknames on the fly. What I didn't like, though, is some noticeable framerate drops in Viridian Forest... which was not helped as I spent almost 10 minutes waiting for one damn Bulbasaur to spawn.
Right now my team is composed of Bulbasaur, the two Nidoran, Spearow and Pidgey.

Yeah I was going to ask if anyone else was experiencing lag because I had the same issue while doing the exact same thing.
Edit: Just finished Cerulean City and it hasn’t happened again, so maybe just a weird thing with Viridian Forest.

I prefer Let's go Eevee.
I think you misunderstood. It's not that the game itself should be done and over with as quickly as possible. But individual tasks you have to repeat several times, like EV training, should be a quick affair. One of the reasons why cartridge battling is so unappealing, is because obtaining and training any single Pokémon for battle, with finely tuned EVs and IVs, takes several hours of repetitive, tedious tasks. The time spent actually battling or revising your strategy, is minuscule compared to the time spent in preparation. Or rather, spent grinding to execute the preparation strategy you've already planned. It takes two seconds to think "I think I need Jolly instead of Adamant", but to actually obtain an identical Pokémon just with a different Nature? That'll take most of your evening. Especially so if you need a legendary Pokémon, and those make up half or so of the Pokémon seen in competitive play nowadays. This process really ought to be more streamlined.
Were any changes made to Ditto or Transform? It first outsped my Starmie, used transform, and on the next turn I outsped him
The second one could be justified by it winning the speed tie.
The first one is... weird without any further information. Could Speed Candy boosts be in the way?

With candy boosts, Ditto would definetly outspeed me in the second turn, it gains like 50 speed
Doesnt Transform have priority now?
Yeah, it would be great, even if each type move was just limited to each corresponding type Eeveelution. Water type Giga Drain on Vaporeon, Mini-Sacred Fire on Flareon and Leaf Blade+Leech Seed on Leafeon would be great. The rest not so much, but still.
Ditto's candy boosts still apply after it Transforms?
At least the expert trainers use candies, in pokemon tower theres a rock sliding geodude that outsped my eevee which was 4 levels ahead
Coaches? He was one of them, I guess that would make sense...
I think you misunderstood, when Ditto transforms it copies all of its opponent’s stats with the exception of HP, so it would have the same speed as Starmie assuming the mechanics haven’t changed.
I thought it copies the base stats but keeps its own EVs and IVs? Alright, that would explain a lot
Nope all IV and EV of ditto itself are ignored aside for HP. Which is why you see weird ditto setups for competitive in order to get specific hidden powers and underspeed opposer dittos
Anyone know what the golden leaf does
Where did you get it lol
Coaches almost definitely use candies. I saw a streamer's Gyarados get outsped by Coach's turbo Geodude lmao.
Partner eevee gave it to me, in celadon it told me to shake the switch controller
Are we allowed to post "spoilers" here? Or at least the miscellaneous videos that GameExplain are posting such as showing all the Pokemon walking behind you, the riding Pokemon, and a batch of easter eggs.
