  1. The first time I played through the game, this scene struck me especially hard. There are definitely moments before this in the game that begin to show the player that this is no regular Pokemon game, (namely Beryl and Lapiz ward), but I do feel like this is when the pacing begins to take off in the game.

     

    Spoiler

    Kiki's Medicham being thrown into the volcano before Kiki herself being dismembered by a Garchomp will forever be stuck in my memories, and I gotta hand it to Amethyst for delivering such maturity in a Pokemon game. After all of these years of playing the game, I can truly say it is one of my favorites.


    Currently replaying through the game after a few years. The furthest I've made it was to Charlotte's gym back in 2016. Last time I tried playing 2 years ago, I got stuck on Kiki's gym fight. Excited to get back into the story and to officially experience the ending.

  2. Now I haven't played through Let's Go entirely yet (I just beat Lt. Surge) but I believe the game itself was made for the exact purpose of bringing in new kid players who have had yet to experience Pokemon, and what better way to do that than to recreate the first generation (again) with a catching mechanic rather than the battling that us players are so used to. It would have been nice to have a challenge, or at the very least have a hard mode, but oh well. The future will tell if that marketing strategy ends up paying off. 

    I think it's safe and sad to say that Pokemon has definitely hit and gone past it's golden point though. Now it's just a waiting game until the game itself finally dies off. The only thing I still want out of Game Freak at this point are Gen 4 remakes. As said by you, I'd much rather play Reborn or another mature/ difficult not Pokemon, Pokemon game nowadays. It's the only way it stays fresh to me. And Nintendo is too much of a kid-friendly company to do what would be necessary in order to fully revive the game for a lot of players. Of course, this is all just my opinion.

    Don't forget Whismur, loved it but it's needed for the Dec quest and available only before 1st gym and needs a pokesnax

    Damn. I've already beaten Julia. Should I go back to a prior save? 

  4. I'm replaying the game after awhile. How available is pokesnax? I know you can buy it from a vendor at a specific point in the game... I'm more or less just wondering if I just wasted the pokesnax I had on this Grubbin in peridot ward because I know I want the Espurr in the same part of the game.

    Also can pokemon with the pickup ability pick up Pokesnax?

     

    I couldn't find any current up to date information on the majority of my questions 😛
