So it looks like, surprise surprise, there's no replacement for the GTS. Ugh, that really sucks. I was hoping to get some version exclusive Pokemon passively while I played, but I guess that ain't happening. I'm gonna have to look for Pokemon.

if you're doing it just to get the events, that isn't necessary any more

How to unlock Gen 4 and 5 Pokemon Mystery Events in 2018

It's now possible for Pokemon fans to open up Mystery Gift events in older Generation 4 and 5 Pokemon titles. Here's how the process works.
i wasn't, but this is very interesting...
You can just play in an emulator and use action replay in there.
but i actually still own my gen 4 carts

So um, what's the point of Rapid Spin if it doesn't even cut hazards anymore? Like instead of making it buff speed and increasing the BP, why not just cut Rapid Spin altogether and just make another move do that instead?

Also as annoying as it sounds, I actually kinda like Farfetch'd's evolution method.
level 60 in wild area, 1% spawn rate

post game only to get up to level 60 catches I believe
Imagine being so excited to catch a Dreepy and finally finding one but not being able to catch it because you're like 6 badges too early.

Among all of GF's troubling issues, their game design is still somehow the worst.

The way they handle pseudo legendary Pkm is just stupid. They intentionally make their pre-evolutions comparatively weak, hard to level up (slow ex gain) and have them require high levels to evolve to boot, thus making it a complete nonissue if you were to attain them early. Yet, they also prevent exactly that usually, or make it needlessly difficult/obscure.

???

Why not do the cool thing, and make a nice, less overt side quest where, as a reward you get a low level, evo1 pseudo legendary, or perhaps the option to catch them then. That way, people who love to explore can find this exciting quest and get a pretty cool reward. And again, the Evo1-2 stages usually aren't going to be overpowered anyway. Probably far inferior to your starter, even. I'd even say it would be best to remove either the slow XP gain or very high evo level. In any case, it would actually be cool to use these earlier stages of them for once.

But good side-quests are already a pipe dream with GF, so whatever 🤷

I think the second evolution happens at level 60 too, so you just catch a Dreepy and then level it up twice

Someone who already has the game is going to become a legend by breeding a metric ton of Dreepy and trading the eggs to people just starting the game.

Please.

Yeah this is a very stupid design choice. The whole point of the psuedo's is that you can get the first stage pretty early but they won't be big badasses till much letter. If you can't even catch one prior to 60 what even is the point?
