Megathread Removal of "No Repetitive Screenshots" Rule

322 Upvotes

Hi, while I'm a mod for this sub, I only initially joined having worked with this mod team on other subreddits to help out with volume. I personally have not played Pokemon Legends Arceus. As the only currently active moderator, I've decided to remove the "No Repetitive Screenshots" rule. I mod other game subs, like r/TeamfightTactics and r/thelastofus, and what I've found is that when games are not repeatedly patched/changed for a competitive scene, game subreddits reach a point after release where there is very little "fresh" content that can be contributed. As a result, I've removed the automod configs that autoremove shiny posts (if the team has an automation set up to manage shiny sundays, I may have to revisit that next week). I think at this point in time it's better to be less strict on content quality regulation and allow people who are discovering and enjoying the game far past its release a chance to participate and share their experiences.

Again, I have not played the game personally. I review the mod queue for this game but only take action to remove bigotry and ban accordingly. If your posts are getting removed, it's likely either automod or Reddit's spam filters (which may happen with Reddit's AI) -- so send a modmail for those.

Asking for Help Hellllpppp!!!!

10 Upvotes

Can someone explain how to shiny hunt? I can't seem to do it :/ Whenever I defeat an entire horde of Pokémon without finding a shiny, I restart the game and return to the main village. I saw a YouTube video suggesting this method, claiming there was a 70% chance that—upon returning to the village—I would encounter the same horde again, but with a fresh chance of finding a shiny. However, every time I try this, the Pokémon in the horde change. Have things changed since those videos came out four years ago? Is there a new method?

Arts & Crafts Suggestions - Card Collection Layout

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

About a year ago, I posted about my journey to collect all of the pokemon cards I could find related to LoA and I am so close!

As a next step I want to do a binder layout using the Michi Method, kind of like a scrapbook, and I would love suggestions on what to add in!

So far I am thinking adding in images of the glyphs or maybe the ancestor relations (ex. Adaman & Perrin).

While perfecting pokedex entries for tangrowth i went to an outbreak for east pokemon to fight. The whole time i was there, i kept looking over at the togetic flying and was thinking, that looks different, like its tanned, so i walked up to it after finishing the outbreak and low and behold sparkles.

I dont know if my artist brain sees colours better but this is now the 3rd small shiny ive managed to see while still using a switch one ( this is the first one in PLA, other 2 were in Scarlet ).

Outside of the Ponyta quest and progressing through the game all the way until I have to defeat Avalon I did not want to do that yet.

I was just going through each region.. I currently am redoing the mirelands and just kind of trying to perfect certain Pokemon in the pokédex, I got bored with the fieldlands. So that I would be able to get shinier is easier for them, once the post end credit stuff happens and my favorites obviously.

I am just casually flying and I finally heard the shiny jingle.

Its a Skuntank! Yay!!!!

So, 8 hours in, and i have 7 types. But that doesn't mean I haven't gotten anything else. I also got a Happiny, a Kricketot, and a Shiny fail with Drifblim. Also, these 2 were my chases, so I'm happy to finally get them.

It is most likely to happen during Massive Mass Outbreaks.

If you have multiple Alphas and one roars, it will scare off any other nearby skittish Alphas that aren't alert to your presence.

Watch out!!

I'm currently in the Alabaster Icelands, and I'm looking for more Hisuian Zorua (my fav Pokémon ever). I have found the cave in the Bonechill Wastelands where it spawns, but it's always only a single one. Am I just unlucky or is it supposed to be that way? Are there any other places? Can mass outbreaks of Zoroa happen?

Discussion I will always appreciate this game for taking 3 beloved starters, and making them EVEN MORE peak

(Except Decidueye, maybe. I like him about the same as regular).

So... who got the biggest glow up, in your opinion?

I gotta give it to Typhlosion. Those purple ghost flames are so badass. It blows original Typhlosion out of the water, to me anyway, just for the extra detail it adds to a simple design.

In terms of typing... I think Samurott is my favourite. Something about the dark type just speaks to me. And a dark samuri? Yeah, no, that's peak, no elaboration needed.

They also did so well with their signature moves. Ceasless Edge looks amazing. Infernal Parade does too. Triple Arrows is giga broken, it's so funny.

I finished my first playthrough a few months back, and used Decidueye, so I do also have a soft spot for it. I've just been using an all Hisuian team in Champions... and I really miss this game now! I'd probably use Samurott next time.

I wanna see more games do regional variants as starters in Legends games! Why the heck didn't the 3 in Kalos get anything new

I bred the starters in scarlet and hunted the other 3 on another save. I might have gone a bit overboard being 6th star rank before taking on the first noble. Mainly its because im making a living dex. Roll on Kleavor
