I will never get the appeal of shiny Pokémon. It's a different color with terrible odds to get it but does nothing better than the normal one.

People soft reset thousands of times for that? Maybe it's because I'm from the Red Blue generation and we didn't have that stuff. When I was a kid you just caught the one you wanted and leveled it up and linked up with friends to battle.

This whole thing has gotten too complicated for its own good.

Digital trophy and bragging rights.

This game probably more than any other I can remember makes it super easy to get really good pokemon. You don't have to do any grinding if you don't want to. Most you'd do is giving a pokemon a mint and boosters to change the nature if its a bad one.

Spent hours breeding for a good Haxorus and Noivern before I tapped out. Turns out Lake of Outrage for both is like Target for white girls, nothing but them, drakloaks, Golurks, and Galvantulas sitting there chilling all lvl 60. Got the Haxorus I wanted, didn't put as much time into Noivern but got a decent enough one. Jolteon was sitting there waiting for me to pull up and caught Aegislash on the way there. There's free stones for Eevee evolutions too.

Safe to say I have leftover Haxorus, Drakloak, and Noiverns if anybody wants any, don't even have to waste time catching them. Figured I'd offer before I surprise trade them away. It's crazy bc Drakloak evolves at 60 into Dragapult but these are already at 60, 1 level up and it's free Dragapults lol. You at least had to level Dragonair up a bit before getting Dragonite.

Not gonna lie, I liked the grinding; felt more “deserved” when you finally got what you wanted. I remember grinding for a Milotic back in the day but now, I legit just caught one in the lake. Felt so...cheap.

Nice on the Milotic, that's my favorite. I got a lvl 1 Feebas I was going to build up but I won't bother, I'm sure I'll find it eventually.

There's always been ones you had to put time in the game to get no shortcuts allowed. If somebody had a Scizor/Steelix they had to get to reach a point and look for metal coat then deal with the trade hurdle. Oh so this guy has both, damn so he did a whole new game for just another coat or sat hunched over his DS for hours for that drop. I got a perfect Steelix in my party rn and ain't do shyt lol, don't even feel worthy when it pops out the ball.

What made it crazy was I was just thinking about a Eevee in my PC I was gonna use for Jolteon eventually

And RIGHT when I got done thinking this nikka texture popped in right in front of me and scared the shyt out of me :mjlol: the grass came in after he did :dead:

Bisharp and Lucario free just walking around in the rain, Ferrothorns sitting there watching sand move. I'm not mad since all games are dumbed down now but yeah they took the "trophies" part of the game out. Only thing close that's left are shinys.

Got 2 adamant grookeys with “great stats” to give away, babies. one is female

I can make more but putting me to work will cost you sword exclusives

also giving away a snorlax with 4 Dynamax bars...he’s got the wrong nature for me (adamant)

2 chamanders with “amazing stats”, one rash, one something neutral. another rash with “great stats”

Do you have a Ponyta by chance? Got some Deinos ready in exchange unless you want another Sword exclusive. I haven’t unlocked the IV checker yet tho so can’t guarantee the stats are good but I should be able to get a specific nature, If you want anything in particular.

These people act like they won money in the lotto or something. I just don't get it.
