They/Them
So I'm enjoying Violet so far but I also feel a bit overwhelmed. It's all so big and open, I'm worried I'll veer too far off from where I am meant to be heading.

- Thread starter Charley
- Start date
You’ll settle into it.
There’s also a map with suggested route through the game.

As probably the world’s #1 Fairy type fan they really had absolutely no reason to resist Bug, the poor things (and no I don’t care about “lore” reasons, it’s not like it’s hard and fast scientific rules. Fairy is the cuteness type and Bugs are considered to be creepy/gross as per the ability Rattled).
But also Ground is weak to Water and Grass, two very common attacking types, with Water being extremely common and powerful, while Fairy is only weak to Poison and Steel which are very rare attacking types that are only ever used to stop Fairy itself. They should just bite the bullet and make Poison super effective on Water too so it gets more relevance, and Bug super effective on Fairy + resistant to it.
Wait, but this was about how Electric only has one weakness, ddd.

Nn
Still, the same logic applies: Ground is like one of THEE premier attacking types.
I finally got to the credits and the end of the game is giving Kirby goes cosmic horror in the final hour teas.
the Time Machine isn’t actually a time machine right? Something’s not adding up…there are too many inconsistencies with the time line of paradox Pokémon and how the AI professor came into being. Plus whatever that unnamed crystal thing is.
all this talk about wishes and imagination… and coincidentally we have precedence of a dream world existing, which just happens to be from Gen 5…

I do love these little details, you can tell a lot of effort went into making each Pokémon really feel alive and unique. Yesterday I found out Stunky runs away if you try to wash it, which is a scream ff

Meowscarada doing magic tricks is also so funny!
Yeah the special animations are really cool. I also love Floragato and its yo-yo:
I guess it's down to its signature move boosting its Speed, 70 soon becomes 140. Varoom also moves super fast in the overworld (probably the fastest out if any Pokémon), so I was surprised to see it was actually quite slow in battle, but I suppose it's because of Shift Gear.
Quaquaval's dancing just absolutely cracks me up. That Pokemon's evolution line is "Mom, i'm gay", "Mom, I want to be a dancer!", "I told you it wasn't a phase, Now I can dance and be FREE!"

Just finished the game and WHEW what an incredible ending act. My favourite Pokemon game (ignoring all the technical issues) since Diamond and Pearl.
