So this is basically Pokmon Go? You have to catch a shit ton of the same Pokmon to make any progress?
Sorta, but not really? Your pokedex has a bunch of criteria for completing a pokemon's entry. It usually including catching them multiple times, defeating a bunch of them, seeing certain moves performed, using agile/strong styles, etc. Each objectives has various tiers to it and you need to complete 10 of them total to complete an entry. Certain objectives give double points though, so if you just beeline those, it's easy to complete a pokedex entry pretty quickly

I just found out that the professor will eventually give you the other two starters. I don't know what the trigger is, but I assume it's after beating a certain trainer after the credits.

the only online thing is trading, but you can catch every Pokemon yourself without needing to trade.

There's also an item called a link cable that evolves trade pokemon. All the held trade items are single use items that do the same.

The online stuff is barely there. There's no co-op, no PvP, and all trade evolutions can be done offline. You don't even need to trade to complete the dex.

Literally the only online interaction is trading and picking up other people's satchels where they died. It's 99% a singleplayer game unlike literally all the other pokemon games

I can't remember how I captured it. I think I went ham with Gardevoir fairy moves and then kept throwing ultraballs.

By the way you don't faint if the Pokemon KOs your entire team. So feel free to sacrifice the whole team, then fly away with braviary and rest and go back and try again.

I usually just dodged their attacks and spammed revives and potions on my mons so it can keep its current HP level.

But obviously if you can't spare the resources, don't do it.

I also bought a used copy of BD and got Darkrai. The sucker who traded it into GameStop never redeemed the Nintendo points either so I got the 60 points for it as well. I'm gonna exchange it for Sword or shield tomorrow and once I have shaymin I'm gonna return it and get my money back.

It's like blockbuster was still around but it's free.

Caught a shiny jolly shinx which is cool, already have a lvl 60 luxray which was like the third poke I caught though. Dont really want to switch it out.

Also never used the piplup line before so was rather annoyed when the adamant alpha empoleon I caught turned out to be crap. That sucker does not look like a special attacker...

My togekiss tanks surprisingly well while also being quick and pretty deadly. Love that thing in this game. Helps with the pumped up damage mentioned above.

Finally beat the main story. I enjoyed this game a lot more than I expected. There's definitely improvement to be had but I hope GameFreak knocks it out of the park with the next game in this Legends series. They have a really good foundation to work with and build upon. Glad they decided to try something new with Pokemon. I had more fun with this game compared to most Pokemon games within the last decade except the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and Black 2/White 2.

They're attempting to look like Arceus, but also in doing so it effectively ruins their power. Them looking so weird is intentional.

Dialga has a throat obstruction, thus can't do it's roar of time to it's fullest while Palkia has no arms, thus rendering it's spacial rend kinda pointless.

But I also like the designs so lol

Yeah. You have to beat him normally first. After that talk to the professor and he'll give you a quest to investigate a "shadow over the coast"

I was not expecting to go immediately from trainer battle to legendary battle without a rest I still beat it first try tho because I had a beefy garchomp that could take hits and lots of max revives.
