I continued playing through Pokemon Ultra Moon today. I made it all the way to the second island. I spent a lot of time systematically going through each route on the first island and clearing the dex of all the base forms i could find to help go towards my goal of a complete national dex in Pokemon Home, but overall today was very slow, so i didn’t do many screenshots.
I also managed to snag a Everstone for my Litten after spending an hour searching for a Roggenrola in a cave. According to the wiki they have a 50% chance to hold one. I didn’t have any open slots in my party to check though, so i just kept grabbing multiple after multiple. After all that work though i can safely say i kept my Litten from evolving.
I also revamped my party a bit. This probably won’t be my final layout, but i have Kiva (my Litten), Bill, a Hawlucha a traded a Spearow for (which feels like a little unfair towards the person i traded too), A Butterfree i evolved after catching it on Route 1 (Which i need to come up with a nickname for), Uncle Tony, and Ash’s Greninja from the Demo (which i’ll probably also swap out for someone else, they’re just kind of keeping the seat warm)
I also picked the cute cat when I first started the game blind and had no idea what it was gonna evolve into, that it’d go from kitty to wrestling star was not on my mind lol
I’m working my way up the generations and I need to replay Alola in the Ultra games since I only had Pokemon Sun before and had different livingdex rules when I played it. A bit unfortunate for time-sake, but I really liked the Alola games. Good luck on your dex!
To add some naming inspiration, my friend and I like dumb nicknames like:
Your post reminded me of my childhood, of how I had a PSP with a CFW and a GBA emulator, that made me look for hack roms, and I learned that there’s a digimon Pokémon hack ROM lol.
Installing CFW on a console is such a fun nostalgic childhood memory i’ve noticed a lot of people who do it share, regardless of console. I’m also totally saving that Digimon ROM hack for later. I grew up without pokemon and only Digimon so for a long while i was only a Digimon fan

It was a surprise to be sure. It seems like Gamefreak always makes at least one starter per a generation become bi-pedal
So, big wrestler tiger not to your liking apparently?
It’s mostly a joke, but i far prefer Litten’s base form personally

I might steal this trend for Ultra Moon. I usually have a theme with my teams, but this team’s theme seems to be that there is no theme
