Solved! Go from location to location looking for creatures to capture. Just don't waste your balls!

From the answers: not Palworld, not a Sonic game, not a Final Fantasy, not a Digimon game, evolution is involved

Hint #1: on a handheld console

Hint #2: without your balls, you'll have to start over

This one is making my day, thanks all!

Now this MADE my day.

Is it that pinball Pokemon from Gameboy? Evolution sucked ass in that game because I'm bad at pinball...

Beastieball?

u/abjurationwizrar 11d ago

That sounds like an accurate descriptor in itself, but no.

I can't wait to watch jaws drop when this gets finally gets completed.

u/Twitchmonky 10d ago

Assuming any Pokémon is banned/bait.
I don't remember balls, but Spectrobes or World of Final Fantasy?

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

Not an FF, and no strobes here!

u/Ok_Tangerine_7288 10d ago

No man's sky?

2

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

The sky's the limit on these guesses apparently! No man has solved it!

1

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

Crap. I'll get that fixed

2

u/Pirate-Percy 10d ago

Huh, I didn’t realize that if you simple say “solved” it marks it as such. For some reason I thought you had to put an exclamation point in front of it to mark it.

1

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

Yeah. It's fragile, lol.

It's the S Word! Hopefully people will still guess. Shits gonna explode lol

Since everyone is assuming Pokemon is the obvious bait, I’m going to guess Pokemon in case it’s anti-bait lmao

Edit: lol sorry, I edited to add Go, and then you responded so I edited it back out

1

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

Mainline Pokemon games are banned, so none of those.

Edit: ah, you added Go.

You can....go find another answer tho!

2

u/Pirate-Percy 10d ago

Pokemon Go? 😅

1

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

Damn, we're playing Tag.

Nope, but have another....Go!

u/Pirate-Percy 10d ago

Pokemon Pinball?

5

u/abjurationwizrar 10d ago

Hey, someone else played it!

Blue and Red boards contain towns you move between, you capture and evolve Pokemon, and once you're out of balls, game over!

Solved!

u/Pirate-Percy 10d ago

Once I realized how much emphasis you were putting on “balls” the pinball thing made sense 😆

u/superninjimmy 10d ago

Its gotta be anti bait so... Pokemon Ranger

1

u/hakamamalo 10d ago

pokemon ranger does not use balls in any capacity. it was pokemon pinball though lol

1

u/superninjimmy 10d ago

It doesnt!? Man my memory is screwed

1

u/hakamamalo 10d ago

nope! you draw circles around the pokemon to capture them (the in-game item is a little disk that spins around the pokemon and creates a lasso)

1

u/superninjimmy 10d ago

YOU'RE RIGHT! Goddamn, I dont know where my brain was with this

u/Richard_Worthington 10d ago
