    I had a 40~ish chain when I tried to catch Beldum, but Beldum only knows Take Down and nothing else, and has the absolute lowest catch rate in the game. I also had a pair of 20-30 chains when I was searching for a Thick Club, but I wasn't trying to catch anything then, just steal a Thick Club...

    You might just be on the RNGs bad side. I haven't noticed Pokemon breaking out of 3+ balls unless they were a Legendary, I hadn't bothered to Paralyze it, or it was a Beldum. Of course, it's possible I'm just on the RNG's good side. If it's under L10 I've mostly been throwing Quick Balls or...

    I'm not talking about the competitive scene - competitive has gotten incredibly complex and that's a good thing, but I'm just talking about the core single player experience vs. AI for the casual player. EDIT: Simple strategies like type matching are not as viable anymore - and how will you...

    The thing that bugs me isn't the sheer number of Pokemon so much as how many dual types and exceptions you have to remember now. Back in the day there were fewer dual types so if a thing looked like a type, it probably was and you could easily call which move was going to be super effective...

    I did try for a bit - had a 5/6 Ghost team of Decidueye, Pallosand, Mimikyu, Sableye, Marowak & Snorlax. It's not the sheer difficulty that stops me so much as the ancillary reasons. I have a really hard time ditching Snorlax. Happy Hour + Hold Back is just too useful (not powerful) for me to...

    I've always been a Ghost fan - from the original 151 Haunter was my favorite, and from Gen III onward, Sableye has remained my favorite overall. I'm actually suffering from Ghost overload now - I can actually stack my team with nothing but Ghosts, but Alola has so many Dark and Ghost types, and...

    65 hours in now. Main plot is not done, but I'm about to head to the Victory Road equivalent, so I'm almost done with it. Pretty well done stuff - I actually like how most of the characters have developed. I even have some grudging respect for Gladion, despite him still being an overdramatic...

    Yeah, new outfits are a thing. Slots are shirt, pants, shoes, socks, bag, hat, glasses & hair accessory. Hair accessory might be female only: I'm playing a male character and haven't seen a single one at the 4 fashion shops this far. Skin tone is set at char gen, but your hair color, style...

    Got Moon last week, am now 20 hours in. Stuff that is different: No Gyms, the replacement Trials are not really Zelda-esque, but are different enough to not be gym like at all while still kind of echoing the 'puzzle to get to the gym leader, then fight the gym leader' with 'puzzle from the...

    You come to the islands to visit family, and you get a Pokemon because of semi-standard bullshit you're-10-now reasons. The big thing revealed thus far is no gyms. Now there's trials and totem Pokemon, one per island. It sounds more Zelda-like to me. Enemy team is Team Skull... but they haven't...

    Had Red, Sapphire, Pearl, White. Beat the first three, the first two multiple times. Only picked up White because all of my friends went on a Pokemon kick and I suggested we all pick up the latest gen game and give it a shot as a group. Was disinterested and uninvested since I had lost my...
