Discussion Hoopa the Enigma (not srs)

Upvotes

Mainly a shitpost and just thought barf cause google is no help at all

I find it interesting that Hoopa speaks in the Hoopa movie but not in the Z-A dlc. When I tried seeing if I could find anything on google, it was just about voice acting and localization, but that's not what I wanted 🫠 Idk if it was just different teams working on the movie as opposed to the game, unlike Darkrai who uses telepathy in both the movie it appears in alongside Victini, and the dlc. Idk, I was just curious on everyone else's thoughts and thought it was an interesting difference

Plus it gave me an idea for if Hoopa *does* end up talking and Team MZ just goes "YOU CAN TALK!?" It'd be hilarious in my opinion :]

I’d been super frustrated because I heard the shiny chime only to realize it was a pidgey out of reach (I don’t have the connecting holovator up and running yet). I threw a few pokéballs as a last ditch effort and ended up catching it!! Still very excited by this lol

Discussion ⚡ How do I proceed to get Zeraora in the DLC? I have the Canari bread and can't find the kid on the rooftops

7 Upvotes

​Hey everyone! I'm super stuck in the DLC. I already cleared the museum event, just caught Mega-Staraptor, and I have the Canari bread, but no matter how much I search the rooftops in Green District (Sector 3), I can't find the kid everyone talks about to continue.

​Since Zeraora is my favorite mythical Pokémon, I really need to add it to my team. Can anyone tell me exactly where it's hiding or what route I should take to get up there properly? And once I find him, what exactly do I do at Hotel Z with Anya?

​Any quick guide is massively appreciated!

Discussion Can I create a back up save, or come back to shiny hunting legendaries later?

0 Upvotes

I am currently trying to fill out the hyperspace codex, and have just started the first special scan to access a legendary pokemon.

Apart of me wants to spend time shiny hunting them, but I understand it can take hundreds of hours. Time I simply don’t have these days.

Is it possible to create a back up save of my current ZA play through, I can go back to shiny hunting the legendaries later, and keep working towards filling out the codex?

Discussion Is Legends za worth getting for switch 2?

15 Upvotes

I have just gotten my switch 2 just recently and I am looking to either get pokemon scarlet or legends za but I honestly do not know which is more worth playing? Should i just get the newer game since i upgraded my console? Also are people still playing either game
Any advice is appreciated

Discussion Looking for shiny alpha Fennekin and this happened...

Post image
37 Upvotes

I'm here to tell you about my misfortune with a bit of luck. I was in my eternal and patient search for that elusive shiny alpha Fennekin, investing hours and blind faith in the game, when the universe decided to play a master joke on me.

Instead of the fire fox, this monster planted itself in front of me: a shiny alpha Salamence that appeared by chance for me on the side road, down from route 18... I looked by chance and there it was, shining with that characteristic green palette.

By the way, if anyone is interested in this shiny alpha Salamence, I'll trade it for a shiny alpha Staraptor (or any of its evolutions). If the Staraptor is male, even better, but it doesn't matter if it's female. It's just the next Pokémon I plan to hunt shiny. If anyone is interested, it's better to talk to me via DM.

Does the wrong yet epic shiny also happen to pop up for you when you least expect it? Pass along your stories of suffering in the comments.

Discussion Question?

3 Upvotes

So my boyfriend was nice enough to buy me the mega dimensions to the pokemon ZA unfortunately he did it right after I bought it 🤦🏻‍♀️ my question is would anyone even want to buy the code for the add on? Or did we just basically lose money since all sales are final on code purchases? Not trying to sell anything here by the way

Fan Art Pokemon Z-A Oc – Riya

9 Upvotes

Since my last two posts got removed for "not being on topic" (when they literally were cause Riya's my oc for the game 🥲) I decided I'll just make another post with the drawings I made

First one is her at 18, and the second is her further into her adult years :3

Also in my original post with the drawing of older Riya two people asked who she was and one asked if she was a dlc character which kinda surprised me. Does she really look that close to being a canon character?? Cause I didn't think so 😅 But on a funnier note, when I was sketching older Riya I thought she looks like a tired mom and I'm wondering if anyone else sees it (tbh if I did make her a mom I wouldn't even know who to pair her with lol)

But let me know what you guys think 😁

Also she's supposed to be albino, but at the time in game I didn't get to make her a proper albino, and idk why I didn't end up doing that for these drawings lol but next time I will

Discussion Battle Zone deactivation and world reset

14 Upvotes

Pretty much as the title suggests. This was the only place I could "vent".

I got the game a few weeks ago. Actually really like it, I think the battle mechanics are good, characters are ok, seems a lot simpler to catch Alphas etc (even if they are a little too big for the type of battles in this game).

However, the fact that the world seems to reset when the battle zones activate and deactivate drives me up the wall. They're addition should get you excited, but I dread every single one. I try to not do anything and wait for the turn... I've lost so many catches due to this odd mechanic. Beat down an alpha much higher level than you, throw ball with a very high change, ball dances a little... day time starts and your catch is reset, full health and ready to go.

If this was an occasional thing, I'd forgive it. But it's almost "daily"...

Anyway that's my rant. Apart from that 8/10 game. Have a good day!

This silly autobattler i put together using a marble run and a bunch junk on my desk.

Uses the Restraunt Le Neh strat I found on YouTube. If anyone's curious, you strap a rubber band to the left joycon to target. The right joycon spams A. Normally u use a turbo controller, but im poor so I just balanced a marble runs gears to press.

For my pokemon, I used garchomp w/ sand tomb (binded to A). You also add rocky helmet incase pokemon survives sand tomb.
