I like Haunter's triangular shape and detached hands. So basically all of its design. I even prefer Gastly to Gengar.

Thinking about starters again, middle stage starters better than their evolutions (imo), in Dex order: Ivysaur, Bayleef, Quilava, Grovyle, Grotle, Prinplup, Pignite, Dewott, Frogadier, Braixen, Brionne.

Between Braixen and Delphox, I prefer Braixen. I like that the stick in its tail makes it resemble a broomstick, and while I hate the line's ear hair, at least it's not at its worst yet. Plus I like the color scheme and youthful look.

Goomy is one of my favorite non-final-stage Pokemon because it's fricking adorable. Cutiefly and Wimpod are also good ones.

So hit 'em with a whole tidal wave ~ We're killing it the entire way

Decided to try replaying Pokemon Black, but remembered that I had a few Pokemon I loved dearly (and a couple Mythicals) that I didn't wanna get rid of upon restarting. Luckily, I found my old purple 3DS and managed to trade the Mythicals to my step-dad's old game of Pokemon White. Unfortunately, a lot of my old team had HM moves stuck on them, so trading them was not a possibility...

[down]Damn it.

[up][up], [up] Based on Joe's comments, you can get the code through GAME's online portals, or in a store if it's open and safe.

Will we get a new Pokemon mainline game this year?

Considering we only have roughly a month and a half left in the year? Probably not.

Yeah. This year we got an updated rerelease of SWSH. Hopefully next year we get Sinnoh remakes.

By the way, how is Movie 24? I haven't seen it, but it looks like a mix of the Zoroark movie and Jungle Book, and I really like both of those.

Next year is the 25th anniversary. I'm actually hoping for some kind of compilation similar to Super Mario 3D All Stars, which would solidify Pokemon's migration from the DS family to the Switch by making all the past games available one platform again.

Hm. Next year is also DP's 15th anniversary if we go off of Japanese release dates. Maybe we could get a new set of games set in Sinnoh if not remakes? It's a bit too early to move to generation nine since generations usually last three to four years so we can expect generation nine in 2022 at the earliest. A return to Sinnoh, even if not as remakes, would still be set in the eighth generation.

So I encountered a Noibat in the Wild Area during the required trek. I wanted to catch it, but couldn't even encounter it. I doubt it was flying too high for me to reach since I managed to encounter a Woobat.

Don't have a bike yet, in fact, I don't even have one badge. I'll keep the whistling in mind though. Thanks.

[up][up]That doesn't work for Noibat, as it will run away when you do. That being said, there's a den in the Rolling Fields section of the Wild Area that has a chance of giving you a Noibat.

Flying Noibats will change their altitude when disturbed tho, and you can run them down. Still, wild Noibat are around level 30, so you won't be able to catch them in the early game.

Also, there are resources that tell you were to catch a Pokemon.

I was able to get a Noibat at level 20 from a den that's located near a level 15 Roselia/Pikachu in the Rolling Fields.

#182125: Nov 14th 2020 at 7:32:47 PM

Yeah, that's a Dragon-type den.

However, den-hunting is not a reliable way of getting stuff before the endgame.
