    I finally evolved my Salandit and Dartrix into Sallazle and Decidueye.

    also that Mimikyu in the trial challenge...holy hell that was hard.

    Crabrawler and Grubbin won't reach their final evolutions for a long while, and can start lagging behind. Their final evolutions are pretty strong though, albeit slow, so the wait may be worth it. If you don't wnna wait near the whole game to get Crabominable/Vikavolt, you could try out replacements like Stufful (route 8), Cutiefly (Route 2/Melemele Meadow), Wimpod (route 8, use Tauros to rush up to) or Dewpider (Burnet Hill in the daytime).

    That was EPIC!!!

    Put it simply, I just completed the main story and I'm going to be frank: that was probably the most epic Elite 4/Champion showdown I've ever had. Shout out to my team of Solgaleo, Decidueye, Kommo-o, Lycanroc (Midday), Mimikyu, and Alola Raichu. And that epilogue made me absolutely love this game... except for one little thing:

    How many of you used your master ball against Tapu Koko? I tried to catch it normally but considering that this came after the Champion match without saving before, and then after nearly exhausting my supply of dusk balls and timer balls I was like "screw it" and threw my master ball.

    Still a frikin' awesome game.

    Oh by the way, I wonder if there's some place I can get help evolving my Feebas, Magmar, and Elektabuzz.

    The little thing that bugged me at the end was Lillie going to Kanto, because I know Nintendo don't do DLC or patching in additional content, so that means I'll need to wait until their next game to get any kind of closure on that story point. Plus I didn't get to kick Hau into the ocean for implying he had a crush on Lillie: she's mine you little bastard

    I didn't use the Masterball I somehow managed to catch one with a Dusk ball.

    Also I haven't finished the pokedex yet but I captured every gen 7 Pokemon and alola form.

    Let me rephrase that: I know why she went to Kanto - to heal her mother - but that's all we ever hear on the matter so I'll never know if my first instinct of maybe deep-sixing the miserable cow was accurate or not since they never really make a stand on how much of Lusamine's behaviour was her own and how much was caused by the toxins. Besides, I liked having Lillie around since she was a lot of fun and a genuinely sweet girl

    I accidentally knocked it out. Hate how the game throws you into that battle with no chance to save after defeating the Elite Four. But thankfully, Lillie says something about Tapu Koko wanting a rematch, so I was able to go back later to capture it. Needed to go back over there anyway for that Zygarde cell that I could see in the cut scene!

    Hard to say what I would have done, since Primarina killed it in one hit, but it comes back later so I'll get it whenever.

    Oh yeah, I remember that, Mega Lucario kicking the living shit out of Pikachu. It certainly highlights the discipline and control you need to have over your supernatural monsters to keep them in check when things gets mega.

    There's a few theories thrown around a bit by multiple characters. Information on Nihilego states it doesn't take control of you, per se, but simply enhances your deepest desires and tosses aside any self-control/sense of consequence, meaning that Lusamine could well have wished to have her way of a beautiful, loving world, but never acted on it. Of course, Gladion mentions her actions could have been in response to grief over her husband's disappearance and a wish to see him again, rendering her unstable and vulnerable and thus particularly susceptible to the toxins; her obsession with Ultra Space, therefore, could simply be the parasite twisting her wishes to suit its own purpose. Then we have Guzma who claims he was outright possessed and forced to feel things he didn't want to feel, which again hints that Nihilego was pushing Lusamine towards a desired path regardless. And lastly, when all's said and done, Lillie mentions that her mother needs to understand what she did wrong and needs someone to scold/correct her, which could imply her mental functions have been impeded or damaged by over two year's of Nihilego's influence, again pointing to the Ultra Beast as the one holding the strings.

    All in all, for all the terrible things she did, Lusamine is portrayed as a very tragic figure, a broken and unfortunate woman who was twisted into something horrible by an alien monstrosity during her darkest hour, who's obsession with the beasts and their world may have simply stemmed from a painful wish to see her husband again.

    i'm just glad that the aether foundation AND team skull are working to be better teams for the world. love that hau is training (what i believe) the first two members you encounter, and hala is helping guzma.

    on another note......i'm upset i forgot to island scan EVEN AFTER GETTING THE POINTS! GAH!

    I still have my Master Ball. I used Dusk Balls on all the Legendaries. They're really quite amazing, those Dusk Balls.

    Also:
    Does anyone have an image or list of all the Pokemon Lusamine had frozen? And what ever happens to them???

    Slowpoke, Starmie, Pyukumuku and Pikachu are definitely in there. It's not known if they're able to be unfrozen or if they're straight dead, but given the horror Lillie displays and the overall mood of it all, it's likely the latter.

    i used my masterball on necrozma...didn't feel like dealing with his crap!
    i remember talking to an aether employee and her saying that they're trying to defrost the pokemon and release them back in the wild.

    i'm not having any luck with finding special fish spots and weather battles for the few pokemon i need left....

    i'm also planting the entire pokepelago island with leppa berries to prepare for shiny hunting! currently at 300

    after looking for info for an hour, i have to accept that West Sea Shellos/Gastrodon are not available in Sun and Moon.

    funny thing, in X and Y, (which i never started to fill up the pokédex in) it is said that East Sea Shellos/Gastrodon is not available.

    am i right about this?
