In the last thread someone said the only trade evolutions you can't catch in the wild are Scizor and Slowking but you can actually evolve your Galarian Slowpoke into a Slowking and it counts for the Slowking dex entry since it's still the same species, that leaves only Scizor unobtainable to complete the dex on the emulator, at least as far as I know

There are some interesting quirks of the battle system being adapted from the main games but also dropping turns in favour of time based ticks. Since effects on a tick will continue to apply even outside of battle, there's some funny stuff, like how a Pokemon out of its Pokeball holding a Leftovers will keep healing to full even after battle

Game Freak have truly outdone themselves with this entry into the franchise. I just can’t believe how alive and fully realised the world feels. Finally, their years of world building have come together to create the perfect Pokemon Project. Exploring those beautiful vistas we always imagined as children with our Pokemon, every building bustling with NPCs, the architecture unique, with every nook and cranny feeling lived in. Wow, my friends. Game Freak have created with the Pokemon IP (the biggest franchise in the world at this point) a truly perfect video game.

Just finished the main story, along with most of the side quests. I think I enjoyed my time with Arceus more. Which is a little disappointing because I like the city setting and the real time battling. My problem was that Arceus gave you big areas to keep on the lookout for new Pokemon while Z-A had you bouncing back and forth between the same spots and depending on what you've caught & leveled a new wild area might barely provide anything new. So Z-A's gameplay loop took less time to start feeling redundant.That being said I really grew to like this game's characters and how they join you for fights. I'm looking forward to whatever the next Legends game is and would like to zip through the story again with a new team in the near future.

I did it 10 times in a row, every single time getting the exact same chespin, same gender, same nature, and the characteristic was the same so it MUST have the same IVs too.
out of curiosity, i tried loading a backup i made from before that quest was even available, and it was still the exact same chespin.
so what the hell? are they decided on file creation or something now? why would they change that?
