After at least 40 resets I got a Modest Lunala and sent it right to the box. Next up was Mt. Lanakila where Crabrawler freaking evolved! I defeated Gladion easily and climbed the surprisingly short mountain to the Pokemon League. Hau arrived and didn't put up much of a fight. I bought some items and headed into the Pokemon League. I managed to defeat the 4 trainers of the Elite 4 in difficult battles (especially Olivia because my team can't do anything against Rock Types). With all 4 defeated I headed into the Champion's Room and took a break before the final battle.

So idk how much more longer this game is but I just got to Po Town. I just want to say I'm heavily disappointed that it took up to the end of the third island for a serious Team Skull encounter/base raid to finally happen. They've literally been a joke this entire game so far with no serious point of them even being there. Guzma 1st encounter so random~ gov

Just think they've could made a better first impression with them.

I mean Team Skull being a joke is kinda the point. I'm not sure if you're futhrer along in the story yet so i won't spoil anything for you

Btw i saw what you did there "First impression" and Team skull? You clever dog ;)

Completed the third island! There were a lot of Skull grunts in Po Town with their upbeat music. Went to the Aether Paradise after that, the music and plot keeps on delivering. I'm now on Poni Island entering Ruins of Hope.

Incineroar lvl 51
Raichu lvl 49
Dugtrio lvl 48
Ninetales lvl 51
Pelipper lvl 48
Kommo-o lvl 48

Incineroar's special Z-move is just pure awesomeness.

Pokémon Sun: Explored more of Route 3, and helped Lillie retrieve Nebby once more in the meadow. Also caught a few more Pokémon. Had another battle against Hau. Unexpectedly, my Munchlax evolved during a battle against one of the trainers on Route 3. Just beat the trainer who gives you the Red Card, and now I guess I'll be challenging the Kahuna.

Current team:

Minami (Brionne F - Level 19)
Snoozer (Snorlax M - Level 17)
Arlene (Meowth F - Level 16)
Raiden (Pichu M - Level 16)
Vulcan (Growlithe M - Level 14)
Chikurun (Cutiefly F - Level 12)

Day 2 in Alola: I started my day, hunting for a Crabrawler. Found one on the Berry place after defeating some Team Skull Grunts. Afterwards, I completed my very first trial and got my Normalium Z. Then I saved Cosmog again and went to Hala. I defeated him fairly easily and Rowlett evolved! Then I went to Ten Carat Hill to catch myself a Rockruff. Finally I left Mele Mele Island and called it a day.

I battled Ilima again before I left Melemele and promptly got destroyed. Once reaching Akala I explored for a while and evolved Pichu and Rowlet. I battled Hau in Paniola Town before making may way up Route 5 to Brooklet Hill and captured a couple of Pokemon along the way. I'm torn between Dewpider and Wishiwashi so I'm rotating for now. :/

Lana's trial was easier than expected, but maybe I'm just used to my Pokemon constantly fainting lol. Wishiwashi called Alolmomola which was kind of a pain but Dewpider proved surprisingly bulky and managed to knock it out. Pikachu got OHKOed by the totem and Crabrawler couldn't do much, and I finally just used Dartrix and knocked out both Wishiwashi. Waterium get. I explored Route 6 and the rest of Heahea after that and I'm gonna head up through the Battle Royal soon and hopefully catch a Salandit on Route 7.

My team's coming together well but I'm kinda torn between Dewpider and Wishiwashi and whether or not to use keep Crabrawler. Leaning towards Wishiwashi and Mimikyu right now, just not sure if I want two stand-alones.

So long
Today, it is exactly 11 years since I joined the forums. Time flies. And this is how far we've come.

Didn't have a lot of time to play today as I was rather busy, but got a few things done at least. Started by connecting to the internet for the first time on this game, downloaded the Event Munchlax to start with. Not going to use it for anything but I wanted to obtain it either way. I also tried connecting to the internet at the Festival Plaza. Took one look at the GTS and saw the same things I have seen in previous generations: people asking for unreasonable offers. I'm going to with it for a while.

Continued with the main things in the game. Next up was the Kahuna Battle! I went back to Iki Town and got to face Hala in a battle. He turned out to be a Fighting-type user which meant my Trumbeak could handle him pretty well. I won without problems, which made him very happy, and I was glad too. He gave me the Fighting-type Z-Crystal, not sure if I should give it to my Trumbeak over the Normal Crystal, we'll have to see.

I also gained the ability to ride on Tauros and explore new areas by breaking rocks. Decided to do that a little. Now I could open up the way to Ten Carat Hill. The music there is a little similar to Black Tower, which is cool. I found some items here and caught some Pokemon: Spinda, Roggenrola, Machop (forgot that I already had one thanks to the trade earlier), Rockruff and Carbink. Finally, a Kalos Pokemon. Left and explored several other areas but found only items. I spoke to my mom, and now I'm ready to leave the Melemele Island. Or so I thought.

Went to Hau'oli and it turned out that there was a Shopping Mall there which I hadn't been to previously. How in the world did I miss it? I wish I knew. Decided to explore it now anyway, there was another clothing store there but everything was way too expensive for me, so I didn't buy anything. Several of the clothes were really cool though, so I'll get back here later when I have more money. I also found the Move Tutors for the Elemental Hyper Beams and the Pledge moves. Decided to teach Water Pledge to my Brionne since I have never used the Pledge moves before, and 80 Base Power? Not bad at all. There was also a Battle Buffet (I think, don't remember the name exactly) which I didn't try, but that will be the first thing I do tomorrow before leaving this island. I think I will have a bit more time to play tomorrow, so I should be able to get more things done then.

My team feels a bit overleveled right now, I hope I will find another team member soon. If I have understood things correctly, my 3 planned future team members should all be available on the next island. I should also try to get my final team member planned soon...

Just caught a shiny Alolan Diglett, I'm so happy! I never caught one shiny in XY and now I catch one after 3 days of playing the game, that is awesome.

Spent the last few days taking on the Battle Tree and finding the last Zygarde Cells. Managed to find the last one on Route 7 thanks to a GameXplain video. I've had major success with PC Zygarde 50% on Battle Spot so far, though the transformation animation alone is almost worth the days of searching. After realizing that my team of Incineroar, Greninja, and Lele wasn't enough to beat the Tree, I've decided to replace Incineroar with another member. Currently grinding a Null so I can have a Steel-type Silvally.
 

Pyrax

The Ghost of Tsushima
Started off today by defeating Kahuna Olivia and completing Akala's Grand Trial. Fairly straightforward battle, though Lycanroc was actually harder than I anticipated. Chinchou and Stufful evolved afterwards, which really could've helped. Went on a tour of Aether Paradise and met an alien UB-01, after which I returned to Konikoni (great bgm btw) to battle Lana. I then arrived in Halie city after almost losing to Hau, explored the gardens to meet with Kukui, went up the library to meet with Lillie and Acerola, then went up Mount Hokulani.
Totem Vikavolt also gave me a fair bit of trouble, albeit not as much as that Charjabug and its Thunder Wave spamming. Collected Z-Crystals from Sophocles and Molayne then went back to Malie. Fought Guzma, and might I add that his sending out Golisopod first took me off-guard. Apart from that, I carefully whittled down its HP to take advantage of Emergency Exit, then KO'd both Ariados and his now weakened Golisopod.
Took a break to catch some Pokemon in earlier areas before progressing through Ula'Ula. Arrived at the Tapu Village and Aether house, after which Acerola escorted me to the supermarket for her trial. Also Dartrix evolved so that's a plus. I'm just about to fight Totem Mimikyu.

Party:
Decidueye lv.34
Ribombee lv.34
Salazzle lv.34

Bewear lv.34
Kommo-o lv.46 (temporary, obtained via GTS)

I now have completed the entire Alola Pokedex with the help of almost entirely the GTS alone. Yay.
I am now collecting Jangmo-o eggs. I must say that I love the new system of being able to deposit the eggs straight from the lady when you have a full team.
I am using a flawless foreign Ditto and a self-bred 5IV Adamant Jangmo-o. I hope to finish collecting some eggs soon.

What else have I done...
I have done some more Battle Tree, especially with some water types that I have IV bred/EV trained. I may end up MM'ing them sometime soon as well. (It is odd that I did not have any water types on my main playthrough team, nor any water type moves, and now I have 3 mid-level generation VII water type Pokémon that I am training.)
They are working pretty well so far. I hope to do some more levelling and breeding soon.
I may finish the Zygarde sidequest soon. I have yet to collect all the cores at the moment.

Finished the main story and now idk what to do.
Tried getting to the Battle Tree but I keep getting stomped by Red/Blue. The power creep in this game is insane.

I spent FOREVER on Route 11 looking for a Togedemaru, but the sneaky little Pika-Cousin still eludes me for whatever reason...But I did find a Komala, whom I promptly added to me party! Anyway, I got the Trial Gate open and went right into Route 12, but the road was rocky and rugged! Fortunately the cowgirl Hapu came by and gave me a new mount for just such a purpose, Mudsdale can gallop right through the terrain no problem! Atop my new ride, I scoured the place for items, pokemon and Trainers. I also stopped by the Geothermic Power plant. After Route 12, Route 13 followed. Hau caught up with me, but then Gladion showed up outta nowhere! He didn't want to mess us up, but instead warn us to protect Lillie and Cosmog. That's oddly kind of a Team Skull lackey, maybe he's not as a bad guy as we think...?

Moving on, I stopped by an Oasis before entering Tapu Village, which seems to have been severely subject to the wrath of said pokemon long ago...The neighboring Route 14 with it's grey waters and blackened sand was eerie too...Anyway, I went to Route 15 and the "Aether House" very close by. We weren't welcome at first, for some little kids came up and battled us first! Thankfully the cute Acerola came back just in time and calmed them down. She revealed that she was a Trial Captain, who would've thought! She invited me to take on her trial at the ruins of a Thrifty Mart. Hau stayed awhile, apparently being gnawed on by a Yungoos is therapeutic...

I come outside and, wouldn't you believe it, Lillie was being harassed by Team Skull! I jumped in right away and sent the Grunt packing, and boy was Lillie thankful! she game be a gife before mentioning meeing up with Hapu. I'm glad she's ok, and now to take on whatever Acerola has in store for me...

I'm sure my team is up to stuff, i'm sure:

Dizzy the Primarina, Lv 39
Maui the P'au Oricorio, Lv 37
Freya the Lycanroc lv 38
Parasprite the Ribombee, Lv 37
D.Hoof Jack the Mudsdale, Lv 38
Eversnooze the Komala, Lv 33

After getting Popplio on the GTS last night, I put one of my other Rowlet up asking for a Litten. Earlier this afternoon, I checked the GTS and saw that the trade went through. So now, I have access to all three Alola starters.

Then, I continued with the main story by returning to Malie. I went back to the garden and saw Kukui talking to Guzma from Team Skull. I had to fight Guzma and used my Golisopod and Grimer to defeat him. After that, I went back out to Route 11 and made it to Route 12 from there.

I spent some time exploring Route 12 riding on Mudsdale, which was fun. I battled several trainers and finally got Grimer to evolve into Muk. That just leaves Pikachu as my only non fully evolved Pokemon (waiting for Thunderbolt). Then, I visited the Geothermal Power Plant and Secluded Shore, where I did a little more training and not much else.

Finally, I reached Route 13. I spoke with Hau and Gladion there before saving.

Made good progress today.
-Traded a random Tapu Lele obtained from Wonder Trade for Buzzwole in the GTS
-Defeated Hapu, entered Poni Canyon
-Saw a shiny female Lycanroc, caught in a Luxury Ball. Will try to post a pic on the Shiny encounter thread tomorrow
-Entered Alt World, Lusamine stay being sexy, made more so with with freaky tentacle fetish, defeated her
-Saved right before catching Lunala

I should finally beat the game tomorrow, so I'll still have plenty of time to do things before eventually postponing for a bit to play Final Fantasy XV on Monday night!

Due to job training, I got to arrive home yesterday and finally started my first, and main, playthrough in Moon. I adore the beginning, with Lillie escaping from the Aether Foundation and shortly after, I found myself exploring the region and Iki Town. Plank Bridge cutscene was amazing. Compared to the other games, it is literally harder to soft-reset, but in 10th, I got myself a female, Calm nature, Popplio. Named her Aveline.

Met with Professor Kukui in his lab and got my Rotom Dex. So far, catching every Pokémon I see on field and training a Metapod along with Popplio. About to make it to the Training School and trading for a Alolan Vulpix. Clocking at 04:35.
