Plot Armor

So, do I have to wait for another new update or what? I was very invested too did everything I could thus far in the game

I just beat Adam for the 13th badge and right before the Bladestar intermission happens the games says as the picture shows saves my game and then I close out and I don't how to fix it?

So, I'm doing the help request for the missing children and I've talked to the nurse in front of Jenny but for whatever reason Ana doesn't show up in front of the hospital afterwards so I'm rather stuck.

So, I'm curious on how trading works on the game and if you can't trade with yourself outta curiosity

So I'm thonking of taking away another week and a half of my life replaying this game again [for story reasons] despite having annoying puzzles every time and I ddunno I have no clue for a team or my starter so I'll let you guys discuss and take a crack at it for me. Any advice at the start is also great. Teams can be weather, terrain based whatever have fun with it. I think with this trainer though she'll like strength over everything else so maybe a hyper offense team?

I'm sure people would love it beats scattering and jumping through guides and videos

I would be yes

Yeah will do look up those things thanks!

Tried to do some digging but if someone could link to a full walk through for Episodes 1-18 I'd appreciate it

Agreeing with literally everyone about Arcanine it's such a solid pick and has a lot of utility that'll give you an edge in a lot of battles. As for your 6th slot I'd honestly see what you get from the mystery egg once you breed your growlithe and see from there. If not I'd say give Trubbish a try he's honestly very good early game and provides Toxic Spikes if that interests you. As for megas go if you wanna replace a Meowstic M-Gardevoir is an option though it'll give you two Poison Weaknesses or you can go with Alakazam which is literally the best you're gonna do. If you don't care about having a mega and want more bulk picking up solosis and giving it trck room might be neat.

I'd say you have good enough ivs as is so go for it. With move tutors being a thing you can have a pree neat pseudo Charizard-Y the only issue is not having DD on it unless you breed him to have DD of course.

I get you haha was talking more in Reborn and Charizard once its megas are in the game [Unless they are then oof ignore this] will probably be the best but Mega Blaziken still being a thing but getting a chose between Drought or a Dragon type is super stronk. With the move tutors and everything available Charizard most likely becomes more viable in the late and is still strong early since D.Rage is opop so I'd say it's still second with the mega and Incineroar being third as it kinda falls off late because of that speed.

I came back to Reborn just about a week or so ago and decided to look up a walkthrough for it since its been a while and I didn't want to pick the BEST fire option being Blaziken so I decided why not I'll use an alolan mon. Now I couldn't go Popplio because it most likely would struggle and I hate Rowlet so I decided why not Litten it is and holy arceus is it crazy well up until mid/late game but it really shows early. It carried me in so many gyms and important fights mainly off of Darkest Lariet, Intimidate being a thing, and dark just being a solid strong type and I think it's one of the best dark types you get early. It hits super hard as well. Of course Fire Chicken is the best but what do you guys think about Litten being second best? I think it has so many great uses and great utility and a great ability to boot I'd say its one of my favorites going through Reborn with. Thought this would be a fun topic to do!

Is Volt Switch out!? The guide for Episode 17 didn't say that so I have no idea what's available as of Episode 18 if that's the case I can go for the original idea which was a VoltTurn Team using Intimidate as I think it's really good and I'm used it to the best if U-Turn is also available I might have to start from scratch and rebreed

I like the Dragonite choice here it'll benefit a lot more and the only thing I'm losing out on is Stab EQ for a weaker Bulldoze, STAB on Fly, a stronger Dragon STAB, and a added rock weakness I'd have to change around the team to fix but also good. Salamence also sounds like a solid option over Nite with Intimidate/Moxie or I can even run it mixed also an option there. Incineroar is my dark type so I'm not sure if adding another one would be the greatest but it can for sure be strong and with Volt Switch not being in the game Mega Mane isn't looking like a contender right now. I was also suggested Weavile and I have to say Weavile seems very strong and still leaves my Mega Slot open for maybe a M-Garde or something of that standard. Thoughts on that? Right I read about Metagross being in the game and yeah I think it'd be a solid choice for the team for rotation where Empoleon might prove not so good breeding it might be a pain tho lol. Yes, I wanted Venusaur for such a long time before I knew I had to fund a project to find it I had Amoongus for the longest until I could replace it with Venu but that day never came for me alas. Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it! If you have anymore suggestions let me know!

Oh I never knew you could replace them at all that's a cool feature! Yeah with Quagssire my stat spread was 252HP/252Def/4Sdef but there were a lot of woah "I really need this field move now?" moments. With buggo I thought spikes and speed boosting passing to Incineroar/Empoleon would be great but he hardly set up spikes or passed a lot of speed he's always just been useless sadly enough. I looked up a guide but couldn't find the poison jab tm either honestly will be replaced with something else. My Empoleon is Modest so I just need to find the choice specs and we're good on that. Originally he was my offensive defogger but not a lot of hazards are set in the game so maybe no defog. Incinerorar the same issue with Empoleon I never knew you could obtain the assualt vest as the guide I looked up was up to episode 17 and not 18 so I did 18 blind though once I find the Choice Band I think I'll use that. Now where can I get this Stone Edge lol? I had Rock Slide previously but Fly is needed so I can well be lazy really. Thanks for passing your suggestions were about my thought process with what I wanted to do with this team.

Yeah all my "Hms" are filler and sadly can just get obnoxious I was playing all in one sitting essentially so I didn't know how often or when i would need the tms yeah my Mystery Egg was Sneasel and I wanted to use it but didn't want another dark type when I couldn't get Weavile I still have to search for other the events and content I missed but Weavile is a monster I've considered for the longest

I wanted to but between needing a Tmx and lack of grass moves I needed Grass Knot and Icy Wind makes my sadly slow team not as slow but without Rock Climb Flash Cannon would for sure be there

Hello everyone first time user and first post ever. I've been playing this game over the years and just a week ago or so noticed that episode 18 was released so I decided to play from the start. I thought I'd showcase my current team as of pre episode 19. My team has gone through some pokemon changes and now that I am finished with episode 18 wanted you guys to take a look at it and feel free to share your thoughts as I'm looking to obviously upgrade my team to the best it can be but Incineroar is a must stay!! Shards might be a lil bit of an issue to get breeding is of course no issue and feel free to ask about Evs/Natures of my current mons!
