1. welcome
2. thanks for telling us!
but also I looked it up and Serebii says the Salazzle comes with a Focus Sash and knows Fake Out, Toxic, Sludge Bomb, and Flamethrower so ??? other than being pre-bred what's even the point? I guess because Fake Out is an egg move…? oh well, it makes me a lot less disappointed that I probably won't be able to make it to GameStop

Well I've got several gamestops nearby. I wonder if it'd be possible for me to grab you a code too and send it via pm

yeah I got 4 Gengar code cards for the shiny Gengar event (to be fair only two were for me) and I think 4...Mew code cards? or whichever one it was that required the cards in the year of legendaries

i believe it was darkrai

Post by tiger beetle on Aug 16, 2017 11:30:09 GMT -5
I looked up the events and Mew and Darkrai both needed codes so it probably was Mew that I got 4 of

The gamestop near me is being sleazy and won't give you the codes unless you preorder US/UM. Which not only can i not afford, I'm not interested in. S/M was a huge disappointment for me already.

Yeah. I wish it was still my original copy of it though. I had a bunch of stuff including shaymin and arceus that were just kinda traded to me? But someone stole it. And then a friend gave me his old copy as a replacement since he didn't play anymore.

I love the pokemon for S/M don't get me wrong. (Salazzle is bae.) but the story and gameplay kinda... sucked? It was literally easier than X/Y for me because it felt like all my pokemon were just leveling too fast, three hours of tutorial and dialogue was boring, and totem pokemon are so easy and had nowhere near the challenge of gyms. The story concept was... okay... but having to spend 2 hours running around Aether when Main Spoilery Plot Things(tm) started happening was boring and horrible. It felt more like an RPG that I was being forced into than a Pokemon game. Not to mention how long fighting feels like it takes and you don't encounter a trainer with more than like 1 or 2 crap pokemon until the fourth freakin island. SNORE.
And unpopular opinion: Bring Back HMs.

Coincidentally that's exactly the opposite of how I felt about B/W/B2/W2 happened, where they had a strong storyline but really bad pokemon, leveling anything was a major pain in the a**, and I literally never beat the elite 4 because i actually couldn't.
I will beat the drum for gen 3 and 4 games and remakes until i die. That was a golden age we're never getting back.

I dunno that totem wishiwashi....hmmmmm *strangles wishiwashi plush*
But I am gonna say my biggest problems with S/M were having Rotom hold my hand and tell me where to go all the time. Like could I just turn him off? I've been playing pokemon since 2005. And the fact that the Alola region is just so linear. Like I know I harp on Unova a lot but I think in terms of exploration, the gen 5 games did the best.

THE HANDHOLDING IS TERRIBLE but on the other hand having him remind you what the objective is if you stop playing and forget for a little while is nice. And not quite as annoying as FR/LG and D/Pe/Pl's whole here we are going to make you wait through this gigantic cinematic/page flippy thing before we let you play again. :^)
Wishiwashi lived up to his name for me. Totems r trash. I've had more problems with wild encounters than I ever did with totems? So maybe just git gud.

that and having a rock type, a fire type, and a water type on my team was not the best strategy xD

Post by Deleted on Aug 16, 2017 18:02:29 GMT -5
I think my team is Ribombee, Lycanroc(night), Incineroar, Salazzle, Toucannon, and Lurantis

Post by Northstar3213 on Aug 16, 2017 18:12:27 GMT -5
Mine was Primarina, Lycanroc (midday), Kommo-o, Ninetales, Raichu, and Marowak

I agree Sun was way too easy and I liked HMs (Unova = best region for HMs)
my team was Primarina, Vikavolt, Togedemaru, Alola Raichu, Salazzle, and Toucannon
edit: and Rotom Pokédex needed to shut up
edit: what cinematic page flippy thing
