Really hate how the AI constantly stalls when you're in a 5-Star Tera Raid.

Finally found a shiny Scream Tail like I've been looking for for a few days then for bonus points while the buff was still active also found a shiny Spoink.

Fingers crossed they start doing special raids with a higher chance of dropping HMs.

Haven’t found any shinies yet, but finally got my first herba mistica. As many 5 and 6 star raids as I’ve done and only gotten 2 sour herbs off of 1 raid.

First shiny!
And it’s a Skiddo. Not overly happy, but welcome to the team I guess.

Anyone else annoyed that gamefreak made another big ocean creature Pokemon less dense than air?
Dondozo and Wailord would both be floating in space IRL.

Thinking of doing another playthrough of X or Y, with this team: Grininja (the only Kalos starter I care for), Venusaur, Gardevoir (my favorite pokemon), Lucario and Snorlax. Who's a good sixth for that team? Not sure I really need a flier, I was thinking Goodra, but I've never been a big Dragon type user. Again, this is for XY, specifically.

I'd consider some variety of Rock / Ground type, would cover the remaining types you don't have a set counter for. Granted it's X & Y so not really a difficult game regardless.

I randomly found a shiny Pawniard over the weekend. I have it on my team but it's annoying that it won't evolve until level 52.
I really wish Gamefreak would change the high level evolutions from Generation V.

I really wish Gamefreak would change the high level evolutions from Generation V. At least they did compensate somewhat by making Kingambit an evolution you can get pretty much immediately so the leveling kind of works out to more typical by the end of the line. Not a lot of consolation for Hydreigon or Volcarona though.

RANDOM SHINY SCOVILLAIN!
Though, I wish he had a third evo. Scovillain looks like the awkward second phase before an awesome third. Kind of in the Breloom territory.

Going around leveling up to fight the final bosses and got me a shiny Chansey. Shiny that gives a lot of EXP, won’t complain about it!

OK, got Scarlet for Christmas. Before I fire it up, I need to know what I'm getting into. Does this follow the Legends Arceus formula, or is this the traditional Pokemon game I'm used to?

Little of column a little of b, the encounters are easy to see instead of random. Also do certain mons only come out at certain times I can't find certain ones

So I started yesterday and logged several hours. I'm enjoying it and I already have my full team just two gym battles in (Quaxwell, Tinkatuff, Clodsire, Capsakid, Naclstack, and a somewhat over-leveled Kilowattrel).
So, there are some issues. I get that many fans wanted an open world Pokemon game for years. But the implementation is clunky. The map is very unclear and I spent a lot of time wandering aimlessly trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. Also, my two gym badges? The Bug gym, which is fine, and the Water gym... which I was both under-leveled and over-leveled for. My one Pokemon that could handle Kofu's Pokemon wouldn't obey. And it wasn't horrendously over-leveled, either, it was caught at level 28 and is only a few levels ahead of the rest of the team. But because there was no map telling me where I should go, and no level-scaling, I was in a bind. I won that badge by spamming healing items and sheer luck. There was no strategy involved.
Also, because of the same issues, I challenged a Titan I learned afterwards was level 44 lol. Game Freak, the game is gorgeous, but you gotta fix this for next time.

Decided I wanted another level 100 Azumarill for the Cinderace raid, since the only I put together for the Charizard raid turned out to have Sap Sipper and I didn't EV train it so wound up mainly using Flutter Mane instead, so I figured might as well try to catch a shiny Azurill. So I found one and have gotten it leveled up and properly trained and the like.
Mainly bring this up since I do really enjoy how absurdly easy passing on egg moves in this game is. Takes like two seconds, just popped it and Iron Hands in a picnic together, bam, done.

Decided to go hunting for a shiny Great Tusk earlier and found it very easily. Kind of tempted to go ahead and look for shinies of the other Scarlet Paradox Pokemon at this point since Roaring Moon, Sandy Shocks, and Slither Wing are the only ones I don't have. Actually looked for Slither Wing for awhile while the sandwich from Great Tusk was still active but no luck.
Kind of hoping the DLC adds an area where we can similarly farm Ultra Beasts, think that'd be fun.
