Pokemon Scarlet/Violet - Recent Happenings Thread

[Captain Jigglypuff]

In my most recent save, I completed the Teal Mask before I got four Badges and now have a level 24 Ogerpon to be part of my lineup for the rest of the main story and Gym run. Also caught a level 12 Applin and planning on transferring it into my main save to get Hydrapple at a really low level.

You need to be careful with planning to use Ogerpon. Most moves are grass and the type it changes into with the masks.
So many trainers have counters against a low level Ogerpon. Larry for example has normal tera Staraptor. and Grusha's gym is both Ice and Water if you use the Hearthflame mask. Atticus has poison moves as well.

I only used it for the ending of the Teal Mask. I completed the three main quests and am now doing the Area Zero story where you need to battle Professor Turo.

Caught some of the shiny Pokemon from the recent event. Tarountula, Spidops, Venonat, and Venomoth (already had a shiny Ariados). Also caught a random shiny alolan geodude

Booted up Scarlet on my Switch 2 to mess around a bit and it feels so weird playing Pokemon at 60fps.

Suddenly, this crappy frame rate mess of a game turned super pretty on Switch 2. Makes me want to start another save just to replay the whole adventure.

I’ve been trying Scarlet on the Switch 2 & it looks amazing. The frame is buttery smooth like everyone said & the regions feel way more alive with all of the pokemon spawning in the biomes.

The only thing is I’m not sure what to do since I already beat the game, the DLC, & the epilogue. I could try completing the BB club room thing & the pokedexes, but I’m not sure if I want to start a new game instead (I don’t know if I want to do that though since I already did 2 1/2 playthroughs of all the Paldea games & Legends ZA is coming out this October)

Finally booted up Violet on my new Switch 2, and I gotta say, there's defiantly an improvement in quality.

Jumped into Pokémon Home and purged about 30 shiny Pokémon I was questioning their legitimacy. After that I jumped into Violet and did two raids and picked up a bunch of bamboo before I had to stop and make some dinner. At this point in the cycle, I’m really only jumping into the game to play the 7-star raids.
