I don’t know what it is exactly, but during this playthrough I’ve found a ridiculous number of female Pokémon. I would have thought that they’d boosted their chances of appearance overall but I’m pretty sure my luck has just swayed in that direction.

Huh. This may be the first time a legendary had a 100% catch rate.
Alcremie was such a good idea with such bad execution. I’ve done five battle Cafe battles (which are daily) and none have given me any Sweets. The only sweets you get outside of these cafes is Strawberry.
That sucks.
Have you tried resetting or is it set?

Damn I just got my Toxel and its Careful 🤮
Well color me impressed! Leon’s legit. That was a really tough battle. Here I thought I had over trained, turns out he is also about 10 levels higher than the rest.
Well my friends, the credits have rolled. It seems there’s some stuff left for me to do though.
You beat the game already?
I think theres some post game, but i took out all the gyms and the champion.
We need Link Codes or options for kicking Max Raid party members ffs
Purposely fainting?
@exeledus:disqus you still got that dreepy?
Just beat gym number 5 and love the character so far. I just wish she had a peculiar pokemon in the forest as their main instead
There’s a reason for that
oh now im excited
also is bugging me that they designed Sonia purse to be under her coat…who does that
Where can I find alcrmy (THE CAKE POKEMONS) 1st stage lol and Sizzilpeed
Route 4
Where is the kid’s Mincinno?
So gold aura ‘mon give Watts?
Why aree Blipbugs eyes like that?
Speaking of aura pokemon on the overworld, does anyone know if they have increased shiny chance? My shiny maractus was one such pokemon.
Me seeing my favourite Pokemon in the background of Opal’s gym even tho it got snapped.

Alrighty then https://twitter.com/Monkeyfuzz_/status/1195876669183029250
I love these pokejobs lol like yall not just gonna sit in this box for free and not do anything
Ya damn freeloaders! I took you out of your natural habitat and gave you a home, be grateful!
Are gym leader names still spoilers? They are in the opening ceremony thing after all, but I’ll spoiler this just Incase.Opal’s first interaction with Bede is one of the funniest things in this game, but it is second to Opal’s grandson calling her an old bat
Kabu and Opal were in the leak.
I beat Opal and I’ll be on my way to Melony after I take some well-deserved time away from the screen. I’m still enjoying myself a lot but I can understand where all the criticism comes from. The presentation and designs are stellar but the game still feels…hollow somehow. It simplifies and boils Pokemon down to its essence which has its costs and benefits. I’ll reserve further judgment until I beat the story, which will possibly be tonight if I’m crazy enough!
