[What is the earliest you can get a data drive to use a password at a PC?]

I am really regretting not inputting the unreal time password at the start of the game. Does anyone know the earliest you could get a single data drive to input a password? I couldn't find anything about it when I looked it up. Thanks for any help :)

[Can anyone trade a Bounsweet/Steenee/Tsareena please?]

I didn't realise there was an event to get Bounsweet and evolved the Pokémon you need to show to get it. Unless I'm mistaken I believe none of these Pokemon are available in the wild until almost the end of the game and would really love any of the Bounsweet line before that :)

 

EDIT: :) Never mind, I saw a suggestion on another thread to breed

Spoiler

Purugly and the lady in the salon accepted it and thought it was a Glameow from the other Salon

[Did my save file disappear?]

I started a new game and played up until Connor puts a healing machine in the jungle so I'm not very far in but I did save multiple times already when I was save spamming at my starter. I closed my game and now that I've reopened it all my data seems to be gone. I know there have been some issues with people's save files but I thought that was for people who are tying to keep their old files from the previous version. Is there a problem with the game maintaining save files in a new game? 

I'm just wondering whether it's worth starting again or if I need to wait for some kind of fix. On that note, how do you check which version of Desolation you're on? I thought it was in the menu at the start of the game where you can choose from continue, new game, controls etc., at the bottom corner but I might be thinking of another game. 

Thanks for any help :)

 

Edit: I saw a folder in the Pokemon Desolation folder in documents and happily found my new save files; when I copies them across into the Saved Games folder I can play again where I left it which is nice! Just wondering if I will have to do this every time, for now at least? Or if it was a freak occurrence haha :)

[can not load the new version]

Ah I see. Did you make sure your save file is compatible with the new version and that you'd saved in the place you need to in order for it to work? I believe most save files aren't compatible unless they meet very specific criteria and had completed the game.

[can not load the new version]

I got that too, but it went away after I deleted all save file data for Desolation in my Saved Games files; you could try that :) I was going to start a new game regardless but maybe the old save file was confusing the game since thing's are apparently different enough that old saved files mostly won't work. 

[What are some of your favourite team combinations for general exploring in post game? (SPOILERS)]

For when you don't know what to expect/just exploring as opposed to key battles that probably require careful team thought? 

 

I've finally returned to finish the postgame and wondering what Pokemon/team combinations people have found useful :) 

[About the difference between easiest level difficulty and Reborn level difficulty? (spoilers)]

Thanks all! I appreciate the replies :)

[About the difference between easiest level difficulty and Reborn level difficulty? (spoilers)]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there is somewhere I can find more detail on the difference in difficulty between easy and normal. The battles in V13 were immensely difficult for me, a rather mediocre trainer  but I was wondering what the easiest level of difficulty is like from anyone who played more for story enjoyment purposes or who just knows. I'm sure there are far more suggestions for ways to help with the hardest battles now that V13 has been out for awhile but I've been wondering, how easy is easy? Does it completely destroy the ability Rejuvnation normal has on making you think outside the box or does it just make it hard but not hair-tearingly hard? Has anyone played both and can give some examples of what to expect from it?

 

Thanks for any tips :)

[Please help with Victory Road running puzzle]

Fern's Decidueye's assault has had me running around for like an hour and I still can't figure out how to progress. I've switched on all the crystals I've found but I can't work out what to do next. There's a path that I get slowed down (covered in what looks like blood)  so I'm thinking that's the way to go but I'm not fast enough. Could someone please help me? What am I missing?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I finally found what I assume is the last one haha

Wow, I would not have found that one on my own! Thanks so much :D

Could anyone please help me with petting Leafeon? I think it's the last one I need and I read somewhere it was in the desert but I can't find it :)

[Is there a list of move tutors available in e19?]

Or maybe a list of available e18 tutors that I haven't found that I might be able to check?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I see there is a link to one in the discord :)

Archeops can steamroll just about everything in that point. Seriously. It has Rock Slides for Charlotte and Ciel, and Acrobatics spam for Samson. Can't go wrong with it if you use it right.

 

Sounds great, thanks for the tip! :D

Ooh, I've actually never used a Gigalith before so that sounds fun as well as helpful, ty :D

[What are some good mons to breed/train before I leave for Agate?]

I'm currently breeding Pokemon in preparation for leaving for the circus and I was wondering what Pokemon might be especially recommended, particularly knowing Terra is coming up because she is always the most challenging gym leader for me.

 

What are some of your favorites that I have access to right now? :) 

[Squirtle finding]

Could anyone confirm the requirements for obtaining Squirtle in e19? The spreadsheet says rain, talk to man in tall building, and find squirtle near a fountain but I can't seem to get anything to trigger. I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right places, like what the 'tall building' means and where the fountain is exactly.

[Tropius location help]

Does anyone know of any videos or maps which might help me with navigating the jungle enough to find Tropius by any chance? It's a gorgeous new map but I am getting extremely lost haha :)

 

Edit: Nevermind, I think I'm good now :D

Oh, thank you! I forget that's a thing :) It's stunning and I didn't think my level up excitement could increase any further but here we are!

What a gorgeous map! Can I ask where you found this? :) Is it new? 

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

I have to keep reminding myself that as someone who lives in Australia, my Saturday is not likely to be when it releases  Oh well, I can always do with exercises in patience! And I still have not quite decided which starter to pick anyway...Probably going to be a spur of the moment decision between Popplio, Fennekin, Torchic, or Froakie.

I believe they did say it is one team for the whole Elite 4. However, there is technically no Champion and the battle with Lin is speculated to be within the Citae Arc-d'Astrae and not at the Pokemon League, so you'll likely be able to change teams before her. There has also been a new consumable item announced that acts as a portable PC, but it's not clear whether its availability is exclusive to the postgame. 

 

Better start EV training those Pokemon :D

 

Haha, at least it looks like training up Pokemon will be easier this version. But I still anticipate CHALLENGE because I am a mediocre trainer at best  Might end up relying on other players posting their strategies to make it through...

[The Last, Only, and Very Final X% Hype Thread]

I'm starting to feel nervous about the Elite 4 given the difficulty I've had with leaders in this game; is it a guarantee that it will be like main games where you need one team to make it through five trainers in a row with no switched? I never thought much about it until now but if that's the case I suspect I will struggle to even make it to post game

There are already events for all the starters. In fact you can get any non legendary, and type:null

 

I must be mixing it up with Rejuv; I could have sworn there were still unavailable Pokemon but if virtually everything is already available that makes things much easier to plan :D Thanks

Just pick whichever starter you like best. ^_^

 

There are too many favourites, haha! :) Kinda wish I hadn't gone with Chespin in my last Desolation run because I'd never used it before and it turned out to be surprisingly fun! I think I've used basically everything except Tepig which I refuse to choose because I am shallow and find it's final evolution form to be hideous ;)

 

Oh well; still plenty of time to make a decision! :)

Yes, you can get Torchic before beating Amaria. Yes, you can get all starters in events before the Elite 4. In fact, a sidequest asks you for all 21 starter eggs (unhatched). Pretty sure the devs wouldn't have put that quest in there if there was even one starter you couldn't obtain at all. :p

 

Oh wow, I don't know how but I didn't realise there was a Torchic sidequest! Thanks for confirming :D I will definitely feel more free to choose a Pokemon other than Torchi now ,haha :) All I need to do now is actually make a decision before e19 comes out...
