11 days.

For most of us, yes, but for those who have gotten early copies they are blitzing through the game and there are mechanics they’re digging up that I’m surprised at.  Typings and stats among them.  I would not have guessed Alolan Diglet/Dugtrio’s actual typing at all.

There are some people who have already received Sun and/or Moon and have started to break down some of the things yet unknown, like stats and some secrets.  Even with everything that’s been revealed I’m still surprised by what’s coming out.

Abi’s current team consists of

Rosè the Flabèbè
Arvel the Ivysaur
Warbeak the Pidgey
Venin the Beedrill
Buster the Bunnelby
Delphi the Braixen

Vitani the Litleo and Tierno the Gulpin are in the PC

Didn’t get too much done on the Nuzlocke today, did catch a Venipede and named her Miasma though.  She’ll be taking Venin’s place.

Finally got some time to continue Abi’s Nuzlocke.  Current team is:

Ursula the Binacle
Warbeak the Pidgeotto
Arvel the Ivysaur
Shiao Lin the Mienfoo
Delphi the Braixen
Waylon Jones the Sandile

Currently outside of Ambrette town, but managed to catch a Mawile in Glittering Cave.

Been playing periodically between work and updates (and Skyrim)  Current team is:

Ferra the Lapras (Thank you random stranger outside of Shalour City)
Buster the Diggersby
Delphi the Delphox
Anubis the Lucario (Thank you Korrina)
Arvel the Venusaur
Rosè the Floette

Tiberius the Tyrunt and Waylong Jones the Krokorok have died, and I’m about to go into the Power Plant.  I miss my Killer Croc…..

Reminder that on this Nuzlocke the EXP share, super training and Pokèmon Amie are disallowed.

7 badges down, and the ultimate weapon is active on the Nuzlocke run.  Current team is:

Delphi the Delphox
Ferra the Lapras
Arvel the Venusar
Rook the Bisharp
Anubis the Lucario
Rosè the Florges

Highest level right now is 53, lowest is 47, and average trainer levels are high 40s to low 50s.  

Home sick with a raw throat (Kind of shuts you down on a call desk).  What to do?  Furry stuff?  Changeling stuff/smut?  Continue Abi’s Nuzlocke?  Play other stuff?  Etc?

I actually remember when EXP Shares only shared with one pokemon.

And I remember when EXP Share split the exp among all Pokemon in the party before hold items were a thing.  I’ve played every generation of Pokemon as they’ve come out, and years afterwards.  The EXP Share from 6th gen on is more in line with the EXP All from Red and Blue than it is with the EXP Share from generations 2-5, but that’s far from a bad thing.  All it does is alleviate the need to grind, which is great for new players who want to explore, and old players who don’t have the time to invest in a single playthrough that they did when they were kids.

If you don’t like it, turn it off.  X and Y has steep level scaling if you turn it off and the wild Pokèmon will often be just below your average level, with trainers in line with it unless you grind hard.  Leaving Laverre city, and a ways away from the 7th badge I’m encountering wild Pokemon of levels that were previously unheard of outside of Victory Road or post game in previous generations.

““6th gen games are too easy!  All the opponents are too low level!”

TURN OFF YOUR EXP SHARE! 

Doing a Nuzlocke without the EXP share and my entire party is right at the low 30s going in to the 3rd gym, just a couple levels above the average trainer.  If you like to grind, turn off your Exp Share and you’ll have ample reason.  If you don’t like to grind, then turn it on and stop complaining.

Further evidence: 6 badges, average level of my team is mid to low 40s.  Average level of trainers in the area? Mid-40s.

“Why aren’t there more Megas in Sun and Moon? These Z-Moves are super lame!”

Gee, it’s almost like it’s a new mechanic and Pokemon has never focused heavily on a new mechanic outside the generation of its introduction. 

With every generation there is a new professor, one who specializes in that generation’s mechanic.

Oak- Pokemon (1st gen, intro to series)
Elm- Breeding (2nd gen, intro to breeding, gender, and friendship)
Birch- Abilities (3rd gen, Intro of abilities)
Rowan- Evolution (4th gen, physical/special split and controversial additions of new evolutions with new mechanics i.e. evolving in certain areas/knowing certain moves/etc.)
Juniper- Connectivity (5th gen, intro to Game Sync and dream world, both largely abandoned)
Sycamore- Mega Evolution (6th gen, need I even say it)
Kukui- Attacks (7th gen, Z-Moves)

It’s always been a thing.  Chances are that there will be more Megas, and possibly more regional variants in the Sinnoh remakes, or Eclipse version.  Patience.
