Pokemon General [SFW, No NSFW]

(Save is literally selected by default)
 
(Player ignores this and loses Pokemon because of it)

Thanks for that salted lemon.

It should be saved immediately upon completion of transfer, no questions asked the bastards charge for this service, they shouldn’t give the player a chance to fuck everything up.
 
Look, I never bought the recent games let alone home, I have no interest in them, but every time I learn something new about these games, I want them even less than before, it really flabbergasts me, the shit GF keeps doing

@Littlecabbit
 
To be honest, the weird thing is transferring from 3DS to HOME actually IS automatically saved once you start it and it’s done in a way that it can’t be screwed up and lost once you’ve begun the transfer. Which makes having to manually save it when transferring from HOME to Gen VIII and vice-versa odd, I’ll admit.

^_same

Really I was just planning to create a new, separate Switch profile to start a new Sword file anyway. At least they give us THAT option to allow for multiple save files in an admittedly roundabout way.

@Jarkes
 
Funny, isn’t it?
 
It’s harder to find a Mimikyu in the Wild Area

@Dirty Bit
 
I didn’t even know WHERE to find those, so I just said “fuck it” and transferred one over.
 
I’m having trouble finding Togepi at the Bridge Field as well even though I DID find a Togetic.

Could i ask a small bit of advice about a story I’m outlining?

@WyrmSpawN
 
Ask away

Like most ghost types, they show up in mist. And even then, they can only be found in the grass.

Okay, to set up, it’s a mystery dungeon universe. First big player is a hotshot not-rescue-team rescuer Lapras, who gets pulled into a trap by an emolga and a chesnaught who need her help to get a treasure, and plan to dispose of her afterwards.
 
Currently, the plan of action is that the emolga pretends to be need her help, asking her to go out of her way to rescue a ‘friend’ pro-bono, and that she can’t afford the price or time of asking a legit rescue crew. Lapras, who is always downtalking the legitimacy of formal rescue teams agrees.
 
Important note, the place she’s led to is somewhere she’s normally at a disadvantage.
 
Originally a deep trench, but she’s actually in her element there, but that’s why the crooks need her. But that would also put emolga’s crime partner at a disadvantage, over his usual type strength over lapras herself.
 
So now I’m thinking she could lead lapras into a dark forest inland, but that also stretches belief that lapras would continue to fall for it at that point.
 
So what biome could emolga lead her to that would make lapras weaker, but at the same time she could believe someone needs her help in?

@WyrmSpawN
 
I wanna say a desert, but that’s too vast. Or perhaps a small canyon area?

@Dirty Bit  
Canyon might work. A small valley, even.
 
Verdant Valley.
 
And they need her to ice beam some vines.

@WyrmSpawN
 
There ya go. Hope that helps.

I was all set to sweep the fairy gym with my poison babies.
 
But then that old lady pulled a fast one with that togekiss.
 
But we pulled out in the end.

I was lucky to survive with my Skuntank and Bisharp
