>>30030259I originally planned to pick Popplio and soft reset for a female because the other starters were unappealing to me. But when I finally got through the ridiculous ass chain of cut scenes and got a male I said fuck it and boxed it.
Later I put that little cakeboy on the GTS asking for a Scyther because they aren't available until post game. Luckily someone actually did so, and it was a female Adamant one to boot. I dislike using traded mons, so I gave it the Everstone from Llima and bred it with a Grubbin for a fresh one. Then I took a Compound Eyes Butterfree with Thief and went to the school and slaughtered Magnemite until I got a Metal Coat. Bam, evolved. Had it before the third trial.
>>30030298It's not my fucking fault that Mimikyu, Jangmo-o, and A-Exeggutor are so late in the game. Every new mon I've found so far was a shitmon outside Lycanroc. I'm not going to intentionally use something bad because it's new. They put a whole lot of powerful old mons in the beginning and some shit new ones. Why would I use the bad choices?
I would also use Toxapex, but they made it an absolute pain in the ass to get ahold of one.
