Things I wish I knew before playing Pokémon

[@philipgelderblom6878]

Seeing as you literally watch Wally catch a ralts in that exact patch of grass, you can assume that you can do the same.

[@jameslambert5198]

Exactly, oh look Wally found a Ralts... oh well, I don't think Ralts spawn here 😂

[@Cameytoe]

That's how I ended up discovering Ralts existed. Good thing as it's one of my favorites (:

Except this is the only time in the entire franchise the game tells you something like that...

[@-carpet-]

The thing about some gen 2 Pokémon being only in kanto is that back then the idea wasn’t to have different Pokémon for each region, it was that the new Pokémon were simply newly discovered species.

[@Yanhime97]

From a world building perspective, that's great but from a game design perspective it sucks. You don't get to use a fair few of the new Pokemon until you've already finished the main adventure where, if you do decide to pick one up and add it to your team, you've gotta do an unbearable amount of grinding to get them up to speed. Since, for some reason, they decided the levels of wild Pokemon should match the levels of those areas in RBY.

[@IFuckingLoveFrenchToast]

And now it's just pokemon that have always existed and we have conveniently been unable to see them until their reveals in later games

[@SporkyMcFly]

​@@Yanhime97 The main adventure does not stop with the Indigo League. The main adventure is collecting Pokémon and becoming the strongest in the region (sort of forced upon you but you can do what you want for the better part). Game Freak did not make the games with an idea of Post-Game in mind, that came later with things like the battle tower, frontier, etc.

[@Yanhime97]

@@SporkyMcFly The idea of a post game might not have been conscious in their minds during development but the way the game is structured, it absolutely treats beating the Elite 4 as the end of the game. They set that up as your goal through beating the gyms just like RBY, and the credits roll after you beat Lance.

[@SporkyMcFly]

@@Yanhime97 Credits roll because it is a ruse. Credits roll again when you defeat Red.

I caught a totally natural shiny Ponyta in Legends and started parading it around to my friends only to then find out through one of them that you're given one in a quest so it's not that impressive I have never been that dead inside lmao

[@andy4an]

The only shiny I've ever seen in any game... Was the arcius pity shiny

[@jacqstrappe]

Hey, catching a shiny Ponyta without that quest is still pretty impressive.

[@joshuastreet8664]

but your Ponyta is special because it was randomly generated on YOUR game specifically and exists only on your game. that’s pretty cool. makes it way more special than a random free one that everyone has access to, in my opinion.

[@ScorpionTamer]

I hate when people downplay a shiny pokemon cause you can get one for free. Like, it's not the colors that make them special, its the novelty of being lucky enough to encounter one and/or the amount of time you spent hunting it. That's why I always label my shinies as "Full-odds" "Charm" "Catch chain" Etc. Cause the rarity and effort matter. I wound up giving my shiny ponyta to an NPC cause a shiny just handed to me wasn't worth anything more than a normal ponyta. TL;DR: Your full odds shiny is far cooler and way more impressive than anyone dismissing it cause you could have just caught a guaranteed one.

The copypasta was funny for me at one point in time but overtime, it gets annoying to have to be like "no one bring it up, I will get the spray bottle". I don't think it'll ever detract from how much I love Vaporeon but still it will always be right beside it.

[@TheLiteBluYoshi]

What’s a copypasta

[@JoshuaDDales]

Since I partly had influence from the anime for deciding to use Treecko in Hoenn, Turtwig in Sinnoh, and Oshawott in Unova (because May has Torchic in the Hoenn titles, Dawn has Piplup in Sinnoh and Bianca has Tepig in Unova under those conditions) I wish I'd known which Kalos starter Serena would take before picking Froakie.

[@peteypiranalover]

I mean with Ralts as your example an NPC does give a hint it is there. The Wally catching tutorial

[@jameslambert5198]

Exactly, that was the worst example for him to mention.

[@joonas394]

[@MrGrimlock1]

One thing is showing the Ralts, the other thing is how the game never tells you how rare ot will be to get one yourself

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

And in ORAS, you can find one pretty quickly with the DexNav simply by repeatedly chasing away the wrong mon (identifiable via cry) until a Ralts appears.

[@peteypiranalover]

One thing I wish I knew was that there's a quiz in Blaine's gym and you can answer it instead of battling the trainers. When I first played FRLG I thought the only way to get to Blaine was fighting the trainers... Also one thing I wish they did was adding something in the pokedex of some species with especific evolution methods hinting at how you evolve them, at least in the game they originated from, as they did with Stantler in Legends Arceus.

[@PiercingObstagoon862]

Also, I feel like it’d be kinda nice to know if you’re getting shiny Pokémon before you get there. Specifically in the older games. Had I known I would have encountered a shiny Mankey in LeafGreen, I would have bought more Pokéballs. Instead, I had none and I had to KO the Mankey.

[@pikminman13]

Whether you like them or not is irrelevant, it’s why you like them or not. As long as you’re looking at them from a perspective of what they provide to you that’s fine. I personally don’t care for the main series at this point because what good SV did does not outweigh its shortcomings for me. They seem to force more and more of the easy mode mechanics on you when they were basically all toggleable in the earlier games. They had affection as optional in gens 6 and 7 which was great as you could intentionally ignore them and the exp share. Now all of that is locked on. But I’m happy playing gens 3-5 and their rom hacks so I don’t really care at this stage.

[@oxcare5]

The PTCG is much much cheaper to get into than a lot of other TCGs like Magic and Yugioh. One thing I really like about pokemon tcg is that there aren't ever any exceptionally rare cards that are ONLY available in that rarity. The super expensive cards are always rare alternate arts versions of cards you can get in normal rarity for much cheaper. It's still costly to build a totally meta deck, but where the other TCGs might run you into the thousands, pokemon would more be in 50-200 range, usually close to like 80 bucks I think unless you need like 10 pricy EX cards in your deck or something. In Yugioh or magic some card that's only available as an ultra rare could be like several hundred dollars each and you need 3 of them alongside numerous other cards in the 10-100 dollar range to get a full meta deck. Compared to that pokemon is an order of magnitude bettter...

Nowadays I pretty much get both versions (though the version I prefer is what I’ll buy physically, and the other one I just download), and was finally able to accomplish this in Sword.

Don't 7 star raids say you can only catch 1 before you start do one

I really wish I knew what shiny pokemon were, my first ever shiny was a Paras but I didn't know what it was, was like "wtf is that" and killed it

Back in 2011 when i was 10 years old i remember playing ruby , roaming around a patch of grass with a dark type team. I never knew you could anyone apart from the weather trio, I was confused why latios was running away and when I saw it on the map in a different location, to make things worse the battery was red. so O plug the charger and continue following it and of course I'm annoyed it keeps fleeing so i get the bright idea to teach mean look(i hated non damage moves when i was small) finally i encounter the blue plane bufoon but my gameboy goes off. Turns out i forgot to turn on the extension and since I forgot to save i lost all the progress😢

The same thing happened to my golbat as a kid and I thought my game was glitched
