"Q: Now that these games are on Nintendo Switch, it's possible for multiple accounts to use the same device. Can multiple people play the same game? Or will it be similar to the handheld games where you can have only one player per game?

Mr. Ohmori: You can have multiple accounts on the Nintendo Switch, so each account can have its own save file. For example, if you have siblings they can play on their own accounts."

So still one save file?

Maximum accessibility

pretty infuriating

i can't even think of a grass or water-type pokémon you can even get at that point

Are players just dumber today? Weren't we able to figure it out and manage just fine? I dunno.

i guess it's just not a game for us, that's what it boils down to

If it sells well and attracts more fans to the series, is there a risk of them dumbing down the main series as a result?

I'd count on it. The games are pretty much visual novels at this point for all it's worth.

Of all the complaints I've been, people not liking Pikachu getting double kick is kind of ridiculous. Did anyone care that Charmander got Metal Claw in FRLG?

All done: completed the Living Dex with my girlfriend this weekend. I now have a save file with every single pokemon organized numerically. Includes every form of every evolutionary line (so not just getting a charmandar and evolving it into charizard, but having an individual charmander, charmeleon and charizard) as well as all the legendary / mythical / event pokemon #1-721 (including the likes of Volcanion, Meloetta, Genesect...). All obtained legit, got maybe 1 or 2 through online trades (if any at all). Also includes around 150+ shiny pokemon. A bunch of them are fakes gotten through (wonder)trades but dozens of them are as legit as can be.

i tried doing that in my white game, but it just got too confusing and all over the place

then i tried again with y but yet again i failed

at least i finished the whole pokedex in y, so im happy about that

i've made numerous attempts at completing a living dex in the past, but when you start obliging me to move my ass over to a gamestop several hours away to ask some snotty apathetic employee for a fucking magearna or whatever the fuck, just to drive all the way back because i'm not getting literally anything else, you are asking WAY too much of me

The Z moves are pretty lame (since you have to make a pokemon hold the item for it), take forever and are just dumb to the point that I've only used a single one in the 15 hours I've played.

yeah, i didn't use z-moves at all for my first playthrough for the same reasons

i've since discovered that there are ways to make them interesting, though—you can use a z-crystal to power-up non-damaging moves, too, like work up, and it'll give you an extra attack boost

my favorite of the ones i've found is Z-Conversion, which a porygon can use to change its type into whatever the first move on the attack list is (in my case, shadow ball) while also boosting every one of its stats by a level, which is pretty fucking dope if you ask me

there's also Z-Parting Shot, which does the normal effect of lowering your opponent's stats and switching out, but this time it fully heals the pokémon you're switching to

among others

I almost forgot how awful the GTS is. Ah, so you're looking for (completely ordinary pokemon)? Here's 15 people asking legendary and mythical pokemon for it, 10 people who want a level 91+ Milotic / Dragonite / Salamence, and 5 people who think they're hilarious by asking for an impossible pokemon (female Volcanion level 10 or below). A+ experience right there.

It's also horrible design that you can't look for pokemon that others want. It baffles me that they still haven't put this in after having the GTS around for like 4 games or so. "I want to trade my X. Show me all offers from people who want one." It would improve the whole process so much.

it sounds even worse than the old Pokémon Crater one smh
