      @Nicolas Caraballo if you ever want to complete a dex, look towards: Sun/Moon, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, amd Sword/Shield. Since they only require 300-400 mons to complete the dex and get the shiny charm. (If you get the Expansion Pass, about 200 more are added onto the other dex for that area) Even Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl are pretty good, since you don't need any Mythicals for any dex completion and a lot of pokemon in the game are obtainable, also anout 400 mons.

    Pokemon Pearl was the first Pokemon game I ever played, my neighbor friend bought it for my like 10th birthday. The only Pokemon I ever cared about as a kid was Jynx. I didn't even know about her controversy, she was just always my favorite because she's so different.
    I remember the only way to catch a Jynx (or at least I thought it was the only way when I was a kid, I could definitely be wrong) in Pearl was to catch a Smoochum whenever they would randomly swarm. I remember spending weeks, maybe even months trying to get those damn Smoochum to swarm. I don't even think I ever got them too either, I think I ended up using the trading station to finally get my Jynx.

      I used to think Feebas could only be fished up with a Super Rod because Serebii said so, but I was not long ago pleasantly surprised to learn that you can fish it up with just an Old Rod, so you'll reel in either Magikarp or Feebas and not all other kinds of things.
      I also found a guide several years ago that showed how to best fish for Feebas, by starting from the top left corner of the lake and go one tile at a time, just fishing up 1 mon per tile (since Feebas is pretty common in the Feebas tiles), instead of dotting randomly around the lake. That way, I ended up finding a Feebas tile surprisingly quick, within the first 3 rows (I think, might have been 4) from the top.
      Then you can just fish and catch Feebas in that tile until you get one with a Sp. Atk-boosting nature (which loves dry food) or a neutral nature (which happily eats anything), or use the strat Ant used, if you have a Synchronize mon with a Sp. Atk-boosting nature.
      In the old games, I had no trouble making poffins, it was easy making good poffins.
      This game's version of making poffins is freaking bs, I tried doing the same as in the old games, but no matter what I did, the poffins always turned out foul, even when I did it perfectly, without burning or spilling a single time, and I didn't know what the stupid game wanted from me, so I gave up on poffins and moved on.
      When I learned you need to use DIFFERENT berries, I thought "wtf that's bs that was never a problem in the og games why should that be a problem now i hate you gamefr-- i mean ilca".
      Though having learned how the mechanic works now, I managed to finally make some good poffins and evolve my Feebas at last.
      I typically prefer the beauty evolution over Prism Scale since trading is usually difficult for me (I have to borrow my brother's 3DS or Switch for trading in gens 6, 7 and 8), and I still prefer beauty in BDSP as well.
      I really love how Legends Arceus allows you to just USE evolution items on Pokémon, including trade mons, I was so happy with that, and I hope gen 9 includes this mechanic as well.
      Oh, btw, I ended up catching my Feebas in a Love Ball, it was a female with the wrong nature, so now I have a bunch of level 1 Feebas in Love Balls. Including a dry-loving Milotic in a Love Ball.

    Ah, gotta love the affection mechanic. If memory serves that sorta stuff like "toughed it out so you wouldn't feel sad" was added in X/Y, and basically if the Pokemon has enough of those pink hearts in the affection system for the game (Pokemon Amie in X/Y and other names I can't remember for later games that incorporated it) they get like an extra chance (not heightened but like a whole second check in the code or something, can't remember specifics) for checks to end status conditions (even ones that don't end naturally), checks for critical chance, dodge/miss chance, and as you saw, even tanking deadly attacks with 1 HP left.
    It was meant to emulate the anime series trope of the partner Pokemon getting a second wind or pulling off an impossible win because they valued their trainer so much they couldn't stand losing for them

      @UCPhGRRK7BpnKo-Je-_RI1dg The mechanic itself is a great idea in theory. For casuals, it allows you to bond with your Pokemon and get some perks because of it. They did it great in XY/ORAS and SM/USUM because it was toggle-able
      However, they then started forcing it upon you.
      BDSP suffers from this because affection is automatic. Not something we want to do all the time. Some people like the challenge that comes with the regular game without boosts like affection.
      Same goes for the New EXP Share (Gen 6 and onwards). The idea was really good and would fix most people’s problems with grinding, but making it necessary in SWSH made it so much worse.
      Tl,dr: The ability to toggle things makes the game better.

    Gotta say, the patience I've developed from shiny hunting the last few years has made finishing 'dexes feel way less awesome than when I was little, but doing it all in a day does take a lot of game knowledge and prep. Nice.

      It simply shouldn't be forced on you. In previous games you had to spend time with the Pokémon in Pokémon Ami and feed them stuff and treat them like a pet to get the bonuses. That way you could completely ignore it if you didn't want all battles to basically become an A button mashing game. But now you survive attacks, dodge 100% accurate moves, deal a ton of crits and win matchups you really shouldn't. That's horrible game Design.
      Or an even better solution: Introduce hard mode like in Pokémon Black/White (2) and disable these bonuses for this mode in addition to changing the opponents team, moveset and level

And it took me 6 whole months since December the past year!

      I own complete copies of every game and just checked. The trade mark phrase appears on gen 3 game boxes. In gen 4 it is nowhere to be found, not even the manual. However it is possible to get every pokemon up until generation 8 where they decided to stop players from owning all the pokemon.
