Looks fun. Has that N64 vibe. Haven't heard of the game before. I kinda miss the N64. Makes me think of that controller. Although I didn't have issues with the 'designed for aliens controller' back in the day, it is a bit of a strange design. I wonder if there are devs from then who talk about what was behind the design.
Yeah, back when the respective consoles were relevant I didn't have much problem at all adjusting to the Nintendo 64 controller, GameCube controller, or Wii Remote & Nunchuck. But now after having not played them for so long, I don't think I could go back to using them regularly again. If I want to play anything from those consoles, I'd prefer to do it on a modern console with a Pro Controller. That's one reason why I kinda like that the Xbox and PlayStation controllers have stayed largely the same over the years. It also helps make it easy to adjust to the back catalog of 20+ year old games those systems allow you to play.

Played around with online trading. A dude gave me a shiny alpha level 100 umbreon for basically nothing, and the name on it was some ".net". My kids freaked out, and after initially begging to trade online and then watching me body multiple alphas they put in a rule no online trading. LOL
Edit: looks like this is a bot.. Not sure what it achieves.

Ugh. I wonder if that means that it's actually impossible to beat legitimately or just really REALLY difficult.
With only around 3 days to spare before the servers go offline, a player from France did manage to beat that level legit and he did it on live stream. There was a huge bounty on that level that he will be collecting.

Pokemon Arceus - what's the secret sauce for catching higher level pokemon? I tried forever to catch an alpha infernape. Got it down to almost no health and spammed great balls, heavy balls, lead balls, wing balls. Always broke out. Tried a dozen times, no luck. This is using my maxed out umbreon I got from a random online trade and the other highish level alphas I caught with it. I can bury the thing in no time, but I struggled to catch it.
I tried the stealth approach firing back shots with lead balls. Immediately broke free and attacked. I tried sticky balls, food, same thing. Then one time I came up on it stealth like, threw some food, shot a lead ball and there was no struggle and it was captured. I felt like this could have been done 2 stars ago. I battled the alpha snorlax and after a dozen great balls finally captured it. It doesn't seem like battling them down to low health is the way to go. Is there timing involved in back shots? Does it only apply when food is involved?
Any other tips on capturing alphas/stronger pokemon? I've read a bunch of posts online, but either I'm not following what they're saying or it's flat out wrong.
As mentioned before, this is the first pokemon game I've played more than an hour or two. I tried a few over the years including back in the day, but none quite got their hooks into me like Arceus has.

@KCPenguins Try baiting the Alpha with a berry. Try to throw the berry so that the Alpha will turn its back to you. Then when it's eating the berry, throw a heavyball at its back, or your best pokeball if you don't have. If the Alpha breaks out, throw another berry and try again.

Is it timing based, distance based, random, or something else when it comes to the back shot? I've also seen a red "X" appear above their head which I assume means you can't catch them, but I swear I've caught some with a red "X" above their head when I sent the pokeball in for capture.

Do any of you still get e-mails from Nintendo letting you know when games on your wishlist are on sale? I haven't gotten one in months, probably since the start of the year. It could be longer and I just didn't notice at first.
Edit: I've asked this on a couple of different Nintendo-centric Discord servers and it seems nobody else gets them anymore either. That seems pretty dumb that they would stop that and might explain why I've not spent a dime in the eShop so far this year after wasting so much money in there between 2017 and 2023.

That Umbreon may not be legit. There are people hacking in Pokémon all over the place. Hopefully it won't mess up your game.

I looked up the website. It's a bot that trades pokemon for whatever reason. I've played around 10 hours since getting it. Hasn't messed up anything so far.
Honestly I've quit using it as it's not necessary. It doesn't seem to help in catching pokemon outside of getting more opportunities to watch them break out of balls, and if I use it to fight I kill them too quickly.
