I'm kind of surprised no one has posted this yet
I L I T E R A L L Y inspect every single object, bookshelf, tv, tree, rock, trashcan, etc for a hidden item in every game. I also inpsect every single wall and corner to make sure it's a real wall and not a hidden door. There is no secret that will ever evade me. I WILL find that fucking pp up so help me god. I was doing it with the first games and I can't stop. Being able to have the dowsing machine on the bottom screen just gives me an excuse to be doubly sure that there aren't any hidden items as I basically have it on permanently and never go anywhere without it on. I'll explore every nook and cranny just to make sure there's no item or door somewhere that I overlooked even if the item finder says there's no items around and I make sure to collect at least 1 of everything I can find.
>>31163353I do this too. I make sure to switch my order constantly to put the lowest level first. I only level my pokemon past the group if I'm in a place where I can oneshot everyone (Like a water mon in a fire gym or flying pokemon in a forest)
>>31165884I used to organize my boxes by type, complete with a specific background and name "Water, Fire, Grass etc". Made a second box if I had more pokemon than could fit in one.
>>31163925>None of the Pokemon on my team are allowed to share a type.Similarly, I always make my team with weaknesses and strengths in mind. I simply have to make all 6 of my pokemon cover the others in some way and usually won't use any pokemon that don't. This means sometimes going more than half the game on 4 pokemon because I just have to uphold my team synergy. Sometimes I also go as far as to premake my team before I play to make sure I have no type weakness, 3 physical 3 special, 1 defense tank, 1 special defense tank, 1 attack glass cannon, 1 special attack glass cannon, and two balanced wildcards. I usually don't do most of this on a new release but on a old/remake I will do this + EV train them
