Just to clarify, mykids won't need online to do the raids then? Nah, you can do them with NPCs. The NPCs are generally useless but honestly even then the raids are pretty easy. Neat, thank you.

Yeah the raid battle AI's can be questionable. We were up against a Wooper with Water Absorb, so the AI'S Magikarp used Hydro Pump every.single.turn.

My Thwackey is named Mike D cause he's a grass monkey Funny, mine is called Phil Collins because it is a drumming monkey and Phil Collins has a surprising association with primates. Between the Genesis song “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight” having the lyric, “Going down like a monkey”, the famous Cadbury ad where a gorilla is doing the drum solo to “In the Air Tonight”, and of course doing the soundtrack to Disney’s Tarzan, which obviously had primates in it.

So far my opinion of the game is it's... hollow. It's very hollow.
I like a lot of what is there - great Pokemon selection even if it could stand to have more depth than it does, the locales look very nice, the game kind of runs like shit in the Wild Area but I still like spending time there, raids have some nice novelty... but I can kind of already see where the game's straining to keep itself going and I've only actually done five gyms thus far. Already run into more than one area where all the wild Pokemon are just evolutions of ones from earlier in the game and it's not like this game has a wealth of areas to explore.
I dunno. I'm having fun playing it but unlike a lot of older Pokemon games I'm having trouble seeing myself continue to play it for very long.
Also the trading in this game f***ing blows.

Personally loving my Cinderace. Named it Dekuto given what a shonen protagonist mashup the line is, but I'm kind of wishing I'd named it Go Ace.

I can’t get past it’s super slender and lanky everything. It just looks too silly for my tastes. I’m interested in seeing Cinderance, because I thought Raboot was not very good at all.

I'm at the point where I'm actively avoiding using super effective moves on Hop just to keep him from gushing about how I understand the most basic of game mechanics.

I honestly wish you could skip 100% of Hop's dialogs during battle. Yeeeeah. I find him much less obnoxious than Hau since he has more of a clear character and he's pre-established as being your friend instead of having Hau's creepy-ass, "Hi, total stranger! I'm never leaving you alone again!" ways, but I'm still pretty sick of dealing with him by now, especially since you seemingly have to fight him in every single town.
