Looking through the Festival Plaza features, you can set a message on profile as "Your Secret".. which is probably displayed to anyone who asks. One of the possible messages is your favorite NPC trainer type, "I like Rising Stars!" or such. Except the Preschooler trainer, for which the message is "I like battling Preschoolers!". Kinda wondering what you're supposed to mean by your favorite trainer type.

I'm also disappointed there's no Hex Maniac on the list. ...Am I the only one who thought Hex Maniacs were kinda hot?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Having spent enough time on the internet, I can assure you that many other people think that the Hex Maniacs are hot as well. The fact that they aren't on the list is probably going to disappoint them greatly. _{Hopefully enough to include them in the definite version of Sun/Moon.}

[RekkaAtsuma]

Eh I don't care about the options to set as your secret so much as the lack of expression on the Players' faces when their secret is "I'm actually a #" when # is not the sex their avatar is.
I chose "I feel like a Girl" due to being genderfluid, and in-game I'm playing as a male-protag.
Don't get me wrong though, this shows great, albeit super-subtle acceptance for the Non-binary players, on the other-hand, it can spook some of the younger players.

I just need my dye shops and I'll be good-to-go, Dyes and GTS are the only thing Festival Plaza has going for me, and even then i may already be done using GTS.

Also I tried the in-game Battle Royal(i needed to get BP) and I've gotta say this:
I'm warming up to them, but seriously when  three pokemon tag-team your team 3 times in a row to KO you, it's pretty soul-crushing.
At least you get 1bp for participation. Thus scoring the power items is only a matter of determination and Time.

Hmm. The Egg you get at the ranch is slightly disappointing.

I was hoping for a new Alolan pokemon, but nope. Good ol' Eevee.

Is anyone else here playing Moon? What do you think of the 12-hour time shift?
I tried it for a day before caving in and just shifting my system clock 12 hours... I'm not a big fan of exploring the game world at night, since I find everything being dark kind of depressing, and most of my play time is in the morning. It only just occurred to me yesterday this also means daily events are resetting at noon for me, which explains some oddities. Worth it, though, I think. I bought Moon for the legendary and exclusives, not the time weirdness.



Anyway, in case anyone is still interested in that other Pokémon game... Pokémon Go is currently having a 2x experience and stardust Thanksgiving event that lasts until the end of the month. They also finally got around to releasing Ditto. It seems any Pokémon you encounter has a small chance of actually being a ditto in disguise, and you don't find out until immediately after capturing it when it transforms back.

They've also released a new experimental "nearby" tracker in a bunch of areas (about half the US and Canada). Some people like it, but for many it's practically game-breaking. It's a variation on the one that was tested in San Fransisco for a few months, based on Pokéstops. Instead of just listing stuff that is currently somewhere around you, it shows Pokémon that are close to Pokéstops in your area and points you directly to them.
The big issue is that if you have even one Pokéstop at the edge of your range, it disables the "sightings" feature that tells you which Pokémon are within 200 metres of you in favor of showing you the Pidgeys and Rattatas attached to the distant Pokéstop which could be 20 minutes away on foot. The result being that you could have a Dragonite across the street from you and no way of knowing it.

...They put out a call for feedback via social media at the same time, so hopefully they'll take the negative reactions seriously and address them before rolling out to the rest of the world.

I'm not really bothered by the time shift at all, to be honest.

[RekkaAtsuma]

I have both versions, and I don't mind the timeshift either, Though it can screw with finding the right pokemon(Trump and Faticate) but seriously Gamefreak can we get Cloudy-day/Overcast-style lighting in some of these games without it being rainy?
DPPt's forest-area before the city with the second badge, but a smidge(or two) brighter is how it could look.

I know Tropical Islands don't usually get that sort of weather, and Sun as a theme implies Sunny-all-around, but even so Cloudy/Overcast days are my absolute favorite IRL, especially when only a few sun-rays peek through but strongly enough you can see their beams clearly.

Btw Solgaleo is certainly my favorite Legendary this Generation...

Due in no small part to the scene of you and Lille on it's back. (Also no, I don't count Ultra Beasts as legends even though they behave like such, stats and breeding-wise, in-game.)

[Sirus]

Can anyone offer some insight into why a female Bagon apparently won't breed with a male Deino? Bulbapedia suggests that they can breed, but the people at the nursery say that they hate each other (or something to that effect). Wasted 1,000 pokebucks on this particular experience.

Pokémon that hate eachother can still breed.

It is if they say "Prefer to play with other pokemon" that it is a complete no go.

[Sirus]

But if they hate each other, that implies...some unpleasant things about the nature of the produced egg :/

* Sirus wonders if keeping pokemon in the same party for awhile will make them like each other more

No how much they like eachother is based on other factors and cannot be changed.

Same species same Id number = normal egg chance over set distance traveled in-game
Same Species Different IDs = Highest chance of Egg over same in-game distance.

Different Species, Same IDno. is Low chance, ((the message is soemthing like dont seem to like each other much, "dont like" and "hate" are not the same meaning)
Different Species with different IDno.s is normal chance.

If the two don't have a matching egg group. it kills all chances.
Ie: Bagon and Deino are in Dragon, and Charizard is in dragon too, however Charizard also is in two egg groups, the other being Monster.
---Charizard can thus breed perfectly, as drago nis shared. Dut Dragon-egg-group can't breed with Monster-egg-group, without sharing Drag/or/Mons.

So yes, Deino and Bagon can breed as they're both in the same egg group, but it'll take a while of actual gameplay for the egg to spawn.

[Lord Snow]

there's an offer for a 2ds including pokemon sun or moon for 100€ running here.
I have only had a few brief interactions with other people's games and forum posts since playing the original red/blue version back in school.

in brief:
how many pokemon are there now?
how many can i catch in sun/moon?
how much will i hate myself for buying this as an adult?

[Sirus]

There are over 700 pokemon now.
As far as I can tell, just about all of them can be caught in SuMo with the possible exception of past legendaries (using the QR Code and Island Scan feature, you can definitely get old starters as well as pokemon from other generations that can't be found in the wild of SuMo normally).
If you dislike mon games, you probably won't like this. If you do enjoy mon games, this is a fantastic example of the genre.

EDIT:
Well. Think I might have just found a new favorite Ability.

Spoiler: Corrosion (click to show/hide)

Allows the pokemon to poison an opponent even if they are Steel or Poison type.

Found it on my very first Salandit, who just happens to know a poison-causing attack (along with the very-scary-at-this-stage-of-the-game Dragon Rage). I just might have to train this little lady lizard, especially considering my party's total lack of fire users.

Also, has anyone managed to discover what differences, if any, the various colors of beans have?

800+ mons if you count the UBs.

i think it is similar to pokepuffs in X n Y, in so far as I've heard, they may do something, just the differences are insignificantly small.

the special and rambow beans though do do things differently, they increase love by A LOT. example: i gave a special bean to my mimikkyu when it only had one heart, and it jumped up to four.

edit: oh and corrosive ability + toxic + time = OK any pokee. i love my little lizard girly
