How early/late do you even get it?

I heard best doggo is actually worst doggo because of his horrendous move pool.

Does Aerodactyl make him redundant?

Also, you can acquire a Machop very early on from a trade in a Pokemon Center. Strongly recommend getting it and evolving it on the GTS when it becomes a Machoke. Machamp was a real hero of my playthrough. Perhaps even more than Decidueye. Absolute bro tier Pokemon.

I'll be running Bewear instead. Great typing and massive physical bulk with fluffy.

I can see him being my new bro.

Depends on how good you are at finding cells, but you unlock the ability to assemble it about halfway through the third island. The best part is you can repeatedly assemble and disassemble Zygarde until you get your preferred nature, so no soft resets involved.

So it's somewhat of a late game mon? I can dig it.

I don't see my team changing much at this point, but I'll have to see what happens on Wednesday.

Oh yeah, and I before the E4 I ended up boxing Zygarde for Lunala, because the game pretty much guilt trips you into keeping it in your party.

I won't be using Solgaleo

"Oh Reshiram has chosen you to be it's trainer, to fight N"

Fuck that fam, I'm using the team I've trained throughout the game

Turkey · November 20, 2016, 05:46:15 PM

So which is the best starter?

One of my friends managed to catch something with Pokérus, and now we're spreading it amongst ourselves.

Also, if you've already beaten the game you're a faggot. Taking it slow master race.

Spartan · November 21, 2016, 07:04:48 AM

I decided to order Moon as well because I'll end up buying it anyway

Both copies have been shipped, which is pretty neat

Those who have it, is it good?

As much as I liked ORAS it was a bit disappointing that it was just Kalos on Holiday.

I'm having a good ol' time. Plot-wise, they took a lot of liberties to make this one a totally unique and compelling experience--it really stands out from the other games in a lot of ways, namely with what they replaced the gyms with. X&Y were cool and all, but they kinda felt a bit soulless and superficial to me (it was based on France, after all). This game brings it back with a lot of charming yet subtle elements. The game's humor is some of the best in the series--Team Skull bringing the most of it in. I've cracked up laughing at least twice, which is very rare. Ultra Beasts take a while to show up, but when they do, they're pretty awesome.

Gameplay-wise, it's Pokémon. The new critters range from "fucking awesome" to "fucking godawful," but even the worst of the shitters still have a degree of charm to them. Many attack moves and smaller gameplay details have been revamped for the competitive folk, but you probably don't care too much about that. Z-moves, while still dumb, are a lot less dumb than I thought they'd be. They executed it in a surprisingly tasteful way.

The game's packed with features, and I only scraped the surface here. There's something in it for just about everybody. My issues have been sparse and minor: the beginning of the game is slow as fuck, and takes a bit of patience to plow through. All the characters are so fucking happy and sweet, you could get diabetes pretty easily. Collecting Zygarde pieces is lame and stupid (but I think Zygarde itself is lame and stupid).

Overall would recommend, it's pretty dope. Not close to beating it yet, but I've sunk my teeth in pretty deep.

Sounds good, I'll probably pick it up fairly soon then.

How is the difficulty though?
XY/ORAS was mindnumbingly easy, I get why they wanted to make it less grindy but I don't think I ever got to a gym and went 'well fuck' during the battle. Maybe it's to do with knowing the games better than when I was younger but I think there was a lot of design choice that made it a piece of cake.

I wouldn't say mind-numbingly easy this go-around, but at this point, I've conditioned myself to make the games more challenging in my own ways. That said, I honestly had a couple "well shit" moments against some of the Totem Pokémon.

Just turn off the Exp. Share, avoid using Z-moves, and try using Pokémon you've never trained before. It also may not hurt to impose some kind of item restriction, but that's approaching nuzlocke territory.
