Just gone onto the third island, turned the Exp. Share on because I was severely under-leveled. Will turn off once I get to be 1-2 levels above the natives, but they're all at 28-30 while I'm at 25-27 so yeah

If you want the pokemon not to call for help status them. They never seem to call for help then.

My team at endgame was

Tsareena/Primarina/Mismagius/Magnezone/Salazzle/Crabominable. I was happy with them mostly(Tsareena is amazing and I love her), but I think if I were to do it again with hindsight I'd cut Mismagius and Crabominable for some combination of Dhelmise/Pallososand/Muk-A.
Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.

Fun fact - I've done pretty well throughout that game, but the fight against the Teacher was my first slap in the face as to how this game wouldn't be a piss-easy thing like Y, even if it was the only time all my Pokémon fainted

Even if the main reason it screwed me was because I didn't have a single team member which didn't have a disadvantage against Magnemite

I'm currently in the top 200 in VGC 17 on showdown, though my position fluctuates. Maroak-aloan is honestly one of the best Pokemon there is, along with tapu koko. The two of these just shred through whatever if you slap on a water type.

Trick room with oranguru is also frightening.

I'm towards the beginning of the second island

My team rn is Brionne, Oricorio, and Mudbray
Am I the only one who didn't really like the early selection of Pokémon on Melemele? I felt there were too many uninteresting ones from past games and too few new ones that I wanted to pick up.
The Trials are super fun and the one totem Pokémon I have fought was pretty tough
I'm glad this game isn't as easy as X and Y because that really turned me off to Gen 6
The world is a lot of fun to walk through and explore too which was also lacking in Gen 6

Overall I love this game and I hope I become a Pokémon master

I didn't want the Pidgey clone but I admit that it is probably one of the cooler early Alolan Pokes

I'm only on pokemon showdown because doing it in the real game is too much work.

My team is Pheromosa/Scizor/Jolteon/Celesteela/Toxapex/Mega-Gyarados right now.

I kinda want to get back into competitive once UU is established. Probably RU actually, but that'll be quite a while.

Does Game Freak enforce tier rules within the game itself, or is it free for all on the cartridge?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
