So what gym now should I do? The water or electric? I actually deliberately did the gyms super out of order. I think I did them Grass -> Bug -> Water -> Normal -> Ghost -> Ice -> Psychic -> Electric.

So now apparently there's evidence suggesting that the RNG for the Battle Stadium is busted and doesn't properly reroll things. A particular thing suggesting this is that if Frost Breath is the first move used in a match it will miss every single time.
So yeah, that's probably the biggest f***up yet because if people can properly figure out the intricacies of that then games will effectively be rigged because they'll know what moves will do what when.

So I hit credits on Pokémon Violet last night after spending most of the weekend playing it.
Great game that has good ideas but definitely needed more time in development.
Daschbun, Tinkaton, & Annihilape were the MVPs of my team, with Ceruledge as the runner up.

I’m currently trying to find a water type to replace my ol’ reliable who I’m getting bored of (Gyarados)
I’m starting this journey with WIGLETT to see what happens.
Current team is Apple Gator (final evolution), Tink’s second evolution, Pawmo, Corvisquire (I love this line), Dreepy (in training), Wigglett (we’ll see)

I won't have one of these until Christmas, but I think I know what I want my team to be: Quaquavale, Tinkaton, Clodsire, Kilowattrel, Armarouge or Ceruledge (version depending), and Dudunsparce. When I get the other one later, I'd like to try out Palifin, Annihilape and Meowscarada, among others.

Where I fall on it is it's pretty unacceptable it released in this state but it's still a ton of fun and quite handily the best Pokemon game since Gen 5. I'd totally recommend it but I'd probably recommend waiting for a couple of patches if you have too many reservations about it.

Anybody wanna trade Haunters? There's actually a person in the town with the Electric gym who'll trade you one for a Pincurchin.

Gen 7 is a miserable pile of horse shit, though.

Gen 7 is a miserable pile of horse shit, though. I think Gen 6 is pretty decent, moreso ORAS than XY, but held back by some issues. Gen 8 I think is okay, the DLC did a lot to elevate it, but I still kind of have a hard time seeing myself doing another run of it any time soon. And yeah gen 7 was absolute ass. It just never shuts the hell up.

It just never shuts the hell up. I didn't appreciate XY at the time, but after my recent playthrough of X, I found it very enjoyable. ORAS is another one I plan to replay very soon, Hoen being my favorite region. But I kinda felt the way you do about Gen 6, about Gen 4. HGSS were great fun, but I found DP to be a real chore to play through, due to how slow the game engine was. Which is why I liked the Gen 8 remakes of DP much better. And I'm actually near the end of a replay of Shield, presently. I bought the DLC, so I'll be playing that and the post-game for the first time on this run.

If this game wasn’t so absolutely f***ing hideous and ran at an acceptable frame rate it would be the best Pokémon in a decade. I hope they can at least patch it so it runs at 30FPS because this performance is brutal.

So I'm all set to capture a Ditto, and start using it to breed my starter. I've got it down to the red, and what does it do?
Uses a Take Down it copied from my Flaaffy and knocks itself out

It's sort of interesting how completely out of place the Kalos starters and Carbink are among the transfer-only Pokemon in SV. Everything else is either a legendary, marketed to hell and back like Charizard, the Gen 8 starters which tracks with how SwSh had support for the Gen 7 ones, or something new to either the SwSh DLC or Legends.
I guess you could argue it'd be weird to have Diancie without Carbink and that Greninja fits the category of heavily marketed but it does seem quite odd, especially when you consider they didn't complete the sets of the Gen 1, 2, 5, and 7 starters yet felt the need to have all of the 6 ones.
Granted I do highly doubt they'll actually do anything like have the entirety Kalos as DLC, that'd really be too cool for them to ever actually do, but maybe they might do like the southern border of it or something. Particularly since the conspicuously scribbled-out section of the map corresponds with where it'd be.
