IS there a way to get an Earthquake TM? I already used the one from Wayward Carve.

doesn't Pickup get you an Earthquake TM at some levels?

EDIT: nope, it did in the original, but not anymore according to Bulbapedia.

I honestly like these games. As I said before, something doesn't have to be perfect to be good, and that's exactly how I feel about these remakes. Definitely better than the original D&P. In my personal opinion, these games are overhated.

Has someone caught a Ditto yet?

No...?
Also, how do you get to Earthquake TM? I keep trying and failing to do Bike thing

 

[RavenRaziel98]

You say no like it was so unrealistic to have one by now, the game is out for around 5 days so it's not that unlikely

No...?

Do you mean that you jump to far at one point? If that's the case change to the other gear, the bike will be slower and make a smaller jump that way.

I think it's found in the crystal caves after receiving the national dex

Literally no one one claimed this or expected this from this remake.

I know. I was just quoting myself in a way.

Found out they can be found on route 218 with the pokeradar, immediately got one. If/when someone wants a Ditto from another region (for masuda method) I'm willing to trade.

Too short (I think) on fast gear
I never tried slow gear tho

Imma hold off until I get national dex

So apparently cloning is still a thing

I’m a little more than halfway through the main story in Shining Pearl and feel the same way. Is it the best Pokémon game ever? No, but it’s much closer to that than it is to all the doom and gloom we’ve been seeing/hearing for the last 9 months.

easy Chupi
Wow. Infinite Master Balls and Rare Candies are back.
Catching Legendaries/Starters (Grand Underground after National Dex has been obtained) is going to be easy (but use Quick Balls before exploiting)

Gonna clone a Master Ball before they fix it, just to have done it once ^^

Let's hope they aren't watching us as we speak

There is a way to see if a wild Pokémon has at least two perfect IVs:

The mechanic was first highlighted by u/Blackpox on Reddit. When encountering a wild Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, the encounter animation may occasionally zoom in on the player’s trainer character, instead of starting by zooming in on the wild Pokemon. When this happens, it means that the wild Pokemon possesses at least 2 Perfect IVs.

Is it bad that I like how the game is kinda buggy? I've always been fond of weirdnesses caused by bugs and thought it's kinda boring that recent pkmn games have been quite bug-free, even if it was technically a good thing.

Whatever floats your boat.

I don't think it's weird. XD I think it's sad that some of the more amusing but harmless things will probably eventually be patched, because this is hilarious-

Kind of a shame we aren't likely to get more glitched pokemon like Missingno these days, though. Would've been great if the game got confused and gave your pokemon a statue skin or swapped the model with something else. That also would've been patched but I love that kind of stuff and maybe it would've helped nudge them toward releasing more color variants anyway.

Perhaps they made it buggy on purpose so it would be a more faithful re-creation of Diamond and Pearl haha. I've never really been a huge fan of glitches (except for the Mew glitch in Gen I), but I can see how playing around with them could be quite nostalgic for people who enjoyed doing that in the older games. I think part of the appeal of glitches is that they can give you a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of how the game was made (Diamond and Pearl's void glitch revealed unused music, I believe, and Gen I's MissingNo. revealed the unused Bird type).
