My Pokedex is back to being complete at 437/437! Technically I’m missing one or two evolutions but I haven’t seen them so at least the Pokedex doesn’t show an uneven number. Hopefully I finally hatch a Salandit that I can evolve soon.
Mega Lucario was a nice addition to the mega army! I think they’ve nearly released all of the Megas now so just a few left.
Finally got a Ceruledge! Now the battle resumes to hatch another one so I can get the other evolution. Probably gonna take a while tbh.
I finally got Naganadel! This one took a long time to get all of those candies so that definitely felt good. Was one of my last remaining spots on the Pokedex.
Double update! I was able to go out and catch enough Necrozmas in order to get both his day and night forms. (Speaking a bit early here. I can’t formally fuse the day one until it becomes day time over here)
My Pokedex is now at a nice crispy 844/844 although I am still missing Zygarde’s evolved forms and Charcadot. Once those 3 have been caught I will really have made it all the way!
I finally have Mega Rayquaza! I wasn’t able to seal the deal last year but this time that changed. I now have all of the Mega Pokemon that have come out for the game so that feels pretty good. I’ve got the perfect record for these guys, now I just have to keep on pushing forward until I can say the same for the main Pokemon although I’m super close on that front as well. Definitely the game that keeps on giving.
I have finally maxed out all of the Sinnoh Pokemon to level 40!! Less gooooooo. In the meantime I also caught the two new legendaries and maxed out Bisharp so I’m getting closer to having powered up all of the Pokemon to level 40, next up is Unova where I’m missing about 4 of them so far. Will see how long it takes for the next update
I didn’t think I’d be doing another update this quickly but the latest event happened to have two of the Pokemon I was missing so that worked out really well. I finally caught my first Diancie and as a result got Mega Diancie. I also rounded up the last Zangoose I needed and my first Mega Alakazam so now I got the Gold Mega Evolution badge! One more step to ranking up all of the badges, but I’ve still got a whiles to go on that.
I finally got my next Platinum badge! Yeah this feels like a pretty quick update next to the last one but that’s more coincidence than anything else. These badges happened to be close together. Now I can finally stop mega evolving whenever I have the energy stored up. In the meantime I finished powering up Lunala and Ninjask.
Next up I’m focusing on Spiritomb who is the last Sinnoh Pokemon that I haven’t maxed out. That will likely be my next Pokemon Go update although I don’t see that happening for at least a month or two.
I finally got my next gold badge! Purifying 500 Pokemon definitely took a while and cost a ton of stardust (Over 1 million) but it was definitely worth it to get closer to all Platinums. I need to purify another 500 so that’s going to take an extremely long time but I’ll have finished doing that at some point. In the meantime I maxed out several more Pokemon. Just one more for Sinnoh (Spiritomb) and then you can expect another Pokemon Go update coming up. Gotta keep catching them all!
I now have the Platinum trophy for this game! Definitely a quick turnaround but I guess that’s it for this game now. Once you have the platinum there isn’t much reason to go back to it.
I finally completed The Final Horizons! Truly a masterful DLC that reminds me just how amazing the Sonic games are. In particular Sonic Frontiers will always go down as one of the all time greatest games ever made. The music, the hype, the intensity, it has it all! I have played very few games with this level of stakes.
Now the DLC is getting infamous for how difficult it is. To be sure this is one of the hardest titles of all time now. Granted you can put the game on easy which makes all of the platforming easy although the bosses will still be difficult. I stuck to it on normal though and it took many hours but I was able to pull it off. You really have to master those perfect parries though and also have to hope that the RNG goes in your favor.
Particularly with the Wyvern fight since that one really goes crazy. Ironically the actual final boss is much easier and only took me two tries to take down. All of the extra cinematics are excellent and it was a lot of fun to play as Knuckles and the crew. The fact that they are now permanent characters that you can play as in any world is great. It gives the game a whole lot of extra replay value and I didn’t even play the new 2D levels.
It feels immensely satisfying to finally complete this one to the point where I would say it is the highlight of 2023 for me. Nothing’s going to realistically be able to top this. Of course it’s all good if you end up completing this on easy instead because it can be hard to set aside 10-20 hours to try and complete this one. I will acknowledge that the lack of check points and how long it is per attempt can be a bit much at times. While the game is super difficult in a fair way, I’d prefer shorter bursts than having to watch the cinematics every time and do the extra level parts.
All in all I doubt we will ever see a DLC quite this good again. I also hope they really speed up the path to Sonic Frontiers 2 right away! Sonic is still the greatest video game series of all time and trust me, this game will not let you forget it!
I’ve finally got the final Hoenn Pokemon! Probably will be a few years or so until I complete the next region but definitely ready to see how that goes. The adventure’s always continuing after all!
