Got the double pack... started Scarlet... went with Fuecoco cause I love him... I named him Doc >_>
first time getting a fire starter and second time I've not gone for the Water starter in games I've played (the first was Rowlett, though Iguess techincally I chose the borb twice since I took him in Arceus too but that doesn't count)
I do like the feeling of sending my goofy Pepper boy to go and terrorize a field on his own >_>

So soon as the game finally let me out of the school I immediately began sprinting as fast as I could to go catch a Tinkatink. Think the last Pokemon I was this, "I'm using that," so immediately on was Inkay.

I still haven’t gotten to the school yet, been messing about in this first massive open area. And dear god, if I actually cared super hard about having Fire-types on my team I’d be mad. In terms of actually obtainable Fire-types this early, I’ve encountered exactly two; Fuecoco and Fletchling(not a Fire-type itself but it becomes Talonflame, one of my favorites of the type, so it works out). Water and Grass-types have choices aplenty early on. Like basically ridiculously so.
So if you absolutely want a Fire-type and don’t want to wait to evolve a Fletchling, you gotta choose Fuecoco.

You can pretty early on run into Charcadet so there is that, plus you miiiight be able to run into Houndour in that cave (though I didn't) given its heavy cutscene presence around there. Already puts it at doing better than Sinnoh.

Picked up Violet. Put it in my Switch and it says there's a 3 hour update?
Oh well, probably going to choose the grass cat.

Same I've put about 4 hours into it and I'll I've accomplished story wise is getting to the first pokemon center because I'm just having fun running around trying to find new pokemon

Getting Scarlet on Tuesday, gotta ask, is it like in S&S where you can see Pokemon walking around fields and such or is it back to where you have to rummage through tall grass and caves for an encounter?

Haven't played S&S, but yes they're walking around. I have a grass cat and Lechonk. I was pleased to see Hoppip straight away, that was my MVP in Pokemon Silver.

I ran around playing it for hours on end pretty much just catching shit. I beat the Grass gym but otherwise haven't touched the main objectives at all.

I was around level 20 fighting that one, honestly most of the Pokemon in the area around the gym are more threatening than the gym is.

SwSh was a hybrid approach where there were both overworld and random encounters. This is nothing but overworld encounters so far from what I have seen first hand. I’m still unsure if I find this an improvement over what SwSh did.

I haven't even gotten to the school and I've already caught a shiny Wiglett.
Also, I've learned that Famigos can chase you.

Also who TF are they trying to kid claiming Rellor is rolling around a ball of 'mud'
I know it's an E rated game but come on. Just admit it's Pokemon s***.

I'm of two minds in that on one hand I am very much digging Scarlet and also I'm recognizing what a buggy pile of shit it is. Not had any of the outrageous stuff myself like people turning giant or their player starting to run around in circles during a battle (though those clips are hilarious) other than I got stuck in a bus stop once and the game had to reset my position, but you still definitely notice how slow and choppy the thing is.
On the whole do definitely think they need to find some kind of way to space out the production schedule more. SV's a lot of fun and adds some really cool new stuff to the series but it kind of just barely functions and it feels like without more time and care and polish this problem isn't going to get better in future games.

I have yet to do a single gym, titan or challenge. All I've done so far is go around the map unlocking the Pokestops and catching all the Pokemon I wanted for my team. In my little explore I somehow found two shines with in ten minutes of each other, a Hoppip and a Skiddo
