drink the fruit juice straight from my hair. The localization team is having way too much fun trying to write wacky dialogue for the Pokemon, huh? The Applin hides on top of a berry tree, before jumping off and bonking me in the head before going off with an "awaaaaaaylin".Īpparently this causes my hair to be drenched in Applin fruit juices (ew) and Hop decides that we don't have to hunt down the Applin and he's going to. Next up is an Applin hunt, and after hunting for the one Applin in the Forest of Focus, the Applin rolls away with an "appawaaaaaay". Okay though but why don't you let Urshifu taste it? You're not the one that the dish is made for, Hop. Hop, honey connoisseur that he is, immediately slurps it up and decides that it's not sticky enough.
With a 'gant tu', the Liligant is reunited with its child, thanks us by giving us some of her nectar. It's a bit of a simple escort mission as the Liligant hops around and trails behind us. The Petilil, in Hop's words, gets 'smooshed' onto Hop's feet, and is 'glomming on' to him, and Hop can't move without stepping on it, so I have to go off and find the mama Liligant.Īnd I actually like the Forest of Focus a lot, it actually feels like a relatively large and while not quite maze-like, it still feels kind of neat to explore. Hop and I find a Petilil instead, who looks sad, and it's missing its mommy. I actually like this a lot, Liligant is easily one of the more forgettable vaguely-humanoid flower Pokemon and giving it a bit more focus here, even if it's not in a particularly major role, is something that's going to actually make Liligant a bit more memorable for me in the future. Hop's theory is that it's some sort of sticky honey or nectar, because that's the sort of things bears like (Hop loves Winnie the Pooh) and goes off to the nearby forest to look for some nectar.Īnd in the Forest of Focus, Hop quickly directs us to Liligant, telling us that Liligant is famous for its sticky, sweet nectar. but the dumb bear hates the taste of mushroom, and I need to find a 'certain something' to make the mushroom palatable. Hop gets roped into my own side-quest, though, because Mustard tells me that Urshifu has a Gigantamax form. I do like the explanation that Mustard knows about Hop because Leon used to train in the Master Dojo, something that actually makes perfect sense but I didn't really think too much about it. Did some part of Eternatus get embedded here, which is why some mushrooms in this island is so tied to the Dynamax/Gigantamax phenomenon? Oh well, that's for the fandom and the manga to explore, I suppose. Yet somehow, in the Isle of Armor, a bunch of mushrooms are able to transform Pokemon and alter their dynamax form? It's pretty bizarre. The game glosses over it because Pokemon isn't the sort of franchise to really delve deep into the semantics of things like this, but we do know from the main storyline that Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing is caused by Eternatus showing up from whatever eldritch planet or dimension he hails from, lands on Galar and is embedded deep within the earth, which is the reason for all these Power Spots and Dynamax abilities and whatnot. Which, in turn, raises some interesting questions, too. Hop shows up in the Isle of Armor, which is something Ididn't expect! This is post-game Hop, who's a Pokemon Professor research assistant, and he's here to research the Dynamax/Gigantamax phenomenon. And while it's certainly nothing particularly intensive, the fact that we still have a fair bit of story left here is pretty neat.Īnd apparently. Maybe it's because everyone told me that the DLC had 'maybe two or three hours of story and gameplay', and so I came in with an already lowered set of expectations, but hey, either way, there's a fair bit more to go. well, honestly, I did not expect anything particularly extensive for the DLC's story.
So after completing the three trials of the Master Dojo and getting my new Kubfu buddy evolved into an Urshifu, apparently there's still more! And.
