I don't like em.

Personally dislike all 3.

Grass final = Bad
Fire final = Really Bad
Water final = really really bad.

I really liked the first 2 stages of the Grookey line, then Rillaboom let it down a bit, still least worst of the three to me. All 3 of the first stages were decent though.

This is why you get an Eevee as soon as you can. As a starter, it is objectively the best.

And it's available in all the games.

Just rinsed the dark gym and kinda just made it through the dragon one. The angular looking dragon Pokémon he had, I had no idea what to do with that one (Duralladon or something?)

Also evolved the fire starter to its final form. Jesus, what the gooseberry fool is that :lol:

The important thing is you acknowledged Grass is the best design out of the 3

I took it that they are some kind of culture reference to the Britain. Inteleon is 007, the fire guy is a football player because we won the world cup centuries ago. But strawberry float knows what Rillaboom is meant to referencing. Keith Moon in monkey form? I dunno.

That makes a lot of sense, it turned into a skyscraper in giant form.

Finally made the start on sorting out my Pokémon into their proper order and after briefly returning to Let’s Go Pikachu to put together an almost complete living dex on there (still no luck in tracking down any Bellsprout in Go as of yet), the lack of a sort by dex number is just baffling. Reckon this could take a fair few hours.

How can you be an Umbreon fan (correct) and yet still manage to have so many wrong opinions about Pokémon designs? First the Pikachu palaver and now this. :dread:

I don’t like the grass much, and I only begrudgingly see what they were doing with fire. Water is chuffing brilliant. They managed to integrate the theme without using any daft props, which is one of my least favourite things about the other two. It’s sleek and cool and just generally a good ‘Mon design. I was dreading the final stage of my Sobble after seeing its stage two, but was really happy with the result!

I don't think I can talk about Pokémon designs with anyone who likes inteleon. I may as well talk to the wall. I'll get a better opinion at least.

Kinda getting the impression that this game is a bit rushed in terms of main story. The Dark and Dragon Gyms seemed a bit lacklustre, especially the Dragon one. The challenge was just fight these guys in duo battles.

Any word on how much more there is to go? Hoping to get the main game out of the way during the weekend.

The amount of stuff to do suddenly picks up again at that point. The adventure is really poorly paced.

Unfortunately not. You’ll get your own opinion echoing off the wall, so a worse one.

Real talk: what don’t you like about it?

still a fair amount to do but i think you might be able to do it over the weekend

Ah, fair enough. Pacing is a bit weird at times.

New Mythical Pokémon revealed.

And you have the audacity to criticise a digimon for being a dog with a gun :dread:

I wouldn't call the 2nd form of the Grookey line a mythical, but alright I guess
