Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	I'm excited but nervous, the latter being how much online is gonna change but it's gonna be fun having the new areas to explore (from the trailers, it all looks stunning) and it's just exciting to get Pokemon back that we've missed this whole time! It's also exciting bc I've seen loads of leaks about Galarian forms and ik most will be false but I'm intrigued to see if we get any more than just Slowbro and to see what they are.

I wish they'd just released it at midnight local time but I guess this way it's a surprise for everyone which is fun. EDIT: so Home has been datamined and NO new Galarian forms other than Slowbro, apparently there may be data server side that you can't see right now with a datamine, it just seems so stupid and lazy and disappointing to bother adding one new form and nothing else?

But isn't Slowking being added in this version too or is that in the other DLC?

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	The story was pretty tedious and way too short I mean half of it was glorified fetch quests with only really one challenging battle. I mean the calibre of opponents in the Tower was pathetic I wasn't expecting a whole new region and league, we were never gonna get that, but a couple of hours of fetch quests and piss easy battles is disappointing. I know the main game was hardly difficult, but I just wanted a bit more here. So many of my faves still not back too, it's fun exploring and catching all the returning Pokemon but to me this feels quite rushed for a bit of fan service (especially the lowkey glitchy following Pokemon where the programming seems to be half assed). Mostly I'm just looking forward to shaking up the metagame a bit, good thing is all the broken ones who used to rule the metagame aren't in this DLC and seem to be Crown Tundra returnees so hopefully some lesser remembered Pokmeon who are back get a chance to shine. We also seem to have a lot more promised for Crown Tundra, so this feels a bit rushed. I mean they at least could have added a few new Galarian forms or something, plus there was a perfect excuse for G-Max Vespiquen with the honey quest. Idk it just all feels like they've shoved the good stuff to Crown Tundra and then farted this out in the meantime. The Kubfu stuff was cute though I guess.

I just had to see your face to feel alive Joined: 22 February 2010 Posts: 6,910 User: 10,676	I'm not gonna get the expansion but I heard you can still catch the newly added Pokémon in the original. I guess I will return to it at some point to do that.

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	Online is really fun atm, seems to be people kind of testing and exploring new pokemon and we all don't know what we're quite doing For example I've been using Comfey a lot, totally irrelevant in gen 7 but is putting in WORK right now, I feel like it's because people are using all the returning pokemon as they test out sets and work on teams, which is fun! It's like we don't know what's coming or what ro expexg, whereas when you see Dragapult, Charizard and Dracovish for example, you 100% know the drill. That's the good thing about the picking really random pokemon to bring back, although Chansey is gonna be soooo broken with Dynamax, I lowkey hate the mechanic now

I can't help that I need it all... Joined: 9 August 2009 Posts: 6,486 User: 9,410	I managed to get a shiny Horsea through breeding like 7 just to get one with Sniper! Funnily enough it didn't have Sniper but I grafted for an Ability Capsule, training it up now to make it into the beast it has proven to be on Showdown - Sniper + Scope Lens + Dragon Dance + Scale Shot has proven to work an absolute treat! Plus access to Iron Head made short work of any Clefables/Hatterenes/Grimmsnarls that have popped up.

Quick Draw & Quick Claw means that half of the time it’ll go first against anything, plus with Belly Drum and a heavy Sp. Atk investment it’s an incredible mixed attacker. Doesn’t always work but so much fun to use.

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	It's quite good under Trick Room! That way it will usually go first even without a Quick Draw and Quick Claw combo, so I use Life Orb for extra power. Of course that's an even more situational build but it's fun when it works. I thought it was gonna be super broken when we heard more about it so I'm glad that it's just good enough to be fun to work with in a few ways. I've had the most randomly insane niche today, Eiscue works as a brilliant counter for the Dark Urshifu which I am SO fed up of seeing Stick a Focus Sash on it, the Ice Face can take one Wicked Blow and that means you get an Ice Punch off, then when it breaks you outspeed Urshifu, so you get another off, then the Wicked Blow takes you down to 1HP and you can use Reversal to hit super-effectively and finish it off. I know Urshifu isn't actually that good and is quite easily countered but it's so fun using something as random and so far unviable as Eiscue to do it I'm finding the meta really fun in general rn, there's a lot of variety and I'm finding it easy to run a wide range of Pokemon and get their chance to shine, although I have been going on the Y-Com link battles instead of Ranked which got to be so tedious, you're almost forced to use the same few top tier Pokemon to get anywhere and it gets boring, but you see way more variety in the full Y-Com battles.

This gen has been great with bringing in interesting nichey Pokemon such as that, Runerigus, G/Slowbro, Coalossal, plus more.
