      I don't care how many glitches there are in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I was enthralled by the story progression, especially with the depth and personalities of the characters. Nemona, using the starter weak against the players on purpose, to see if we can match and surpass her in battle prowess. Arven, and his reasons behind his sour attitude at first, being his Mabosstiff being injured by ancient/future Pokemon, and how he didn't see his parents, the professors, in 10 years. Penny, and all of Team Star, and how they consider their friendship as their greatest treasure, and their desire to fight back against their bullies in fheir flashbacks. This has got to be on par with Gen 4 and 5 in terms of lore and story, and I love it, an 10 out of 10 for me!

It took me a solid 10 hours of hunting to find it considering the fact that shiny encounter sandwichs and the shiny charm were not accessible at that point in the game

    Eri is the only person in the entire main story to have ever defeated me. That’s pretty wild. And fortunately/unfortunately for you: I got my first shiny less than an hour into the game. As soon as I left my house and went down the hill with Nemona after getting my starter I got a shiny Psyduck.
    I have since also caught shiny Rellor, and shiny Dunsparce (just before fighting Sada and finishing the story a couple nights ago).
    If it’s any consolation, the Dudunsparce I evolved it into is the standard 2 segment, not 3.

Because of my routing and me catching everything and thus basically being constantly overlevelled (because I went to Larry's gym as like the third gym or something and thought I had to grind up to that level), I tended to just curbstomp the gyms unless I deliberately used one poké with no items etc., so I never really noticed.

      Agreed. At first I didn't plan on using it on my first playthrough team, but when I replaced Varoom with Tinkatink, I needed a poison type. I threw Clodsire back on the team like, "Eh, you'll do until I find something better." And then I kept him for the rest of the playthrough. He was tied with my shiny Kilowattrel for the third best on my team. Tinkaton and Annihilape were my A team, but Clodsire pulled his weight.

    I'm glad you got your Charcadet to evovle early. I didnt find out how to evolve it until it was already lvl 60 because I decided to be lazy and not check the internet. Only good thing was that I have beaten up more than enough Bronzor and Bronzong so I could easily just get the item. I had also found a shiny Hawlucha pretty early but it wouldnt listen to me because at that time I only had 3 badges and I had found it in the North Province (Area One) so It was at lvl 50. I spent a lot of time fighting pokemon and exploring instead of the main stories because I enjoy open-world games for the exploration but as a result had super overlvled pokemon.
