Did they get rid of Super Training? :/

It looks like they ditched Hidden Pokemon and DexNav for some reason, but why get rid of such a convenient training tool?

I am rather unhappy with everything in this post.

Because...you disagree with what I'm saying? Or do you also miss the cut features?

Cut features. If nothing else, there should be a means to reset EVs.

Cut features. If nothing else, there should be a means to reset EVs.

EV berries still exist in the game, as do means to both find (randomly from drops) and grow (Poke Pelago) them.  You can also purchase foods from the Festival Plaza that can completely wipe out EVs of various or (apparently) all stats, if you have the right stalls.

[Sirus]

Still. Super Training might have been time-consuming (and it really wasn't once you unlocked the level 3 minigames and could boost stats by 24 or so per pop) but it allowed you to easily fine-tune your favorite pokemon's EVs from very near the beginning of the game. Resets were readily available as well.

Speaking of the Festival Plaza, what genius decided to fill all of your stall slots from the get-go and have different shops offer different merchandise, but neglected to let you see precisely what each stall would offer before deciding whether or not to replace a stand you already have?

[Culise]

Heavens only know.  I've noticed that issue as well; I think you're supposed to figure it out from the names.

Also, unlocked level 4 of the PokeFinder.  I'm actually having fun with it, even if each level so far has only been successive levels of zoom rather than stuff like Snap's tools or interactivity (even just a food ball or something; I don't expect something like Snap's setpieces out of what's essentially a small sidegame).  The whole Instagram feel of the submissions (I think that's the right website?) makes me wonder about these kinds of shenanigans, though. 

EDIT: 1.5 million thumbs-up for version 5?  I think I'll shoot for that some other time...

i still won't really miss super training

the dumb minigames weren't terrible, sure, but it was still LEAGUES faster just to do horde battles, and with the exp share, you don't even need to have the pokemon you're ev training out

24 evs is nothing compared to how much you got with a horde battle, and you could just force those with sweet scent and then one-shot everything with earthquake or any other attack that hits everything

the only good thing about super training imo was the reset bags, but they were far too rare

Super training was kinda neat for evolutionary stones. None of this "oh Gallade didn't exist in Gen 3" crap, just pew pew pew, dawn stone, my pokemon's better than yours, get fucked Wally.

Wally was also, amusingly, the only trainer in ORAS that had fully trained EV/IVs as well as actual thought put into the Pokemon's moves.

Picked up my copy. Might be a few days before I start. The poster is pretty cool.

How is Sun and Moon in terms of getting all the generations of pokemon?

[Sirus]

I'm still early on, but so far it's been mostly Gen1 and the newest mons, with a few from Gens 2 and 3 thrown in for good measure. No signs of Sinnoh, Unova, or Kalos yet.

[birdy51]

I've seen one/caught one two Unova mons, and rumors of a Sinnoh mon that I just wasn't able to find.

Kalos does seem conspicuously absent though.

[Greiger]

There is a muchlax on route 1 behind the boulders I think that's sinnoh.   Also for folks having trouble finding certain pokes pokemon calling for help will usually -but not always- call the same species.

The carbinks in ten carat hill can call sableeye (the sableye promptly attacks the carbink).  The bonsley in route 1 can call Happiny, and the bagons on route 3 can call a fully fledged (lv 12) salemence.

[Sirus]

There's Bonsly on Route 1? WTF?

Do each of the islands have their own Route 1 or did I just completely miss that?

[Greiger]

It's behind the tauros boulders  Lots of rare spawns in those patches of grass.  Munchlax (with leftovers) Bonsley, (with a chance of calling happiny with oval stone).  And I think some of the pokes in those particular bushes can call a sudowoodo for help.

The sudowoodo I have not seen for myself though, unlike the others I mentioned.

[Sirus]

Dammit, I need to buckle down and get to work.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Munchlax getting distributed with a Snorlax Z-move item?
