No, natures are still unchangeable. Bottle Caps make IVs less of a concern, but there's a very long grind required before you can use them.
Natures still play a role. Bottle caps just make the chosen IV at max (31).

Not at all. Bottle caps make IVs useless. Natures are more important imo.

No. Natures are still important for the 10% boost in a stat you want and decrease in the stat you dont care about

IVs are still a concern if you want to use Hidden Power...
I am on the third island and I guess near the end of it, this has been the most fun I had playing pokemon since gold and silver and I love the removal of the HM, I believe that they improved on almost anything that made X,Y and ORAS somewhat boring for me with the exception of fishing, I am so tired of getting Magikarps and Wishiwashis on almost all darn fishing spots.
on a side note, the game is keeping the trend of being preschooler levels of easy, the random trainers should have at least from 3 to 5 pokemons, heck your rivals should have a full team

Holy sh*t lmao.
But seriously, I agree with you. The sheer amount of times I've lost in both the Maison and Tree because the opponent full on counter-picked my team, is completely bonkers. My problem is as you stated, "You can't pick the Pokemon you want" cause that makes me really mad. I remember winning 50 Super singles in the Maison because I used Garchomp, Aegislash, and Greninja. I was happy I won, but it was disheartening to know that I could only win if I used the best stuff.
Plus the Maison and Tree get things we normally can't, like Intimidate Incineroar, or Custap Berry. Seriously I lost to a Custap Berry Claydol at 49 in Super doubles. I was livid.
For real what is with the number of magikarp in fishing spots? I stopped using them entirely. I only ever got 1 wishiwashi and 1 barboach (wischash prevo) out of 25+ fishing spots ALL have been fucking magikarp.
I stopped by the 4rth island, simply not worth my time. A place like Hawaii should have an extremely diverse ocean. And surfing just gives you either finneon or its evo, tentacruel or its prevo and thats about it. Maybe the extremely rare pelipper which is also found in grass.
Sorry, what? What move tutor? o.o

Just fish in the bubbling spots. Those ones have better chances of landing you rarer Pokemon. The normal ones are total garbage. Don't even bother with them.
They should've just made the bubbling encounter rates the default rates for all fishing spots, but I guess Gamefreak wanted it to be exciting when you saw one. I don't really get it.
Oh my Arceus, this is a game changer! I was looking at Silvally today and flinching at Parting Shot only at lv85...!
Thanks!
You missed out man.
They were all the rage a few weeks ago.
Got every Legendary with them.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Tapus and UBs are Tree and Royal usable right?
we really need a pokemon therapist for gen viii

Tapus definitely are and I assume the same goes for UBs.

I got the moon exclusive ultra beasts last night doing it, with ones I caught outside the centre, so the party isn't quite over yet.
I just got all the Legendaries myself from this method, Necrozma being the last one yesterday. So, people are still trading for Trubbish lol.
What's strange is that they marketed Pheremosa and Buzzwole as equivalents.

what's so special about trubbish
do people just avoid going to the spot with the style guy
oh cool

They are in the sense that its masculine vs feminine, punching vs. kicking, muscular vs lean, one annoying insect (mosquito) vs. another annoying insect (cockroach). They've got the same typing.
Kartana's only connection with Pheromosa is the number of them. Course its connection with Celesteela is questionable too.
Jesus christ the pokemon league champion, I was not prepared.
This marks my first ever lost in this game and I steamrolled through the E4 with only 4 properly leveled pokemon and swapping in my two vastly underleveled pokemon for EXP.
Time to train up those two pokemon.
EDIT: I'm giving this a break to go get me some trubbish.
I also have a genesect code but I need to see what legendaries I'm missing from ORAS. I think its volcaninion. I'll throw in a blue psyduck if thats not enough.

Players either don't know where that spot is to find trubbish or theyre very generous as they keep trading away rare pokemon for them
I think a lot of people have missed that spot completely.
Kartana and Celesteela are similar to Buzzwole and Pheromosa in the sense that they're opposites again. Vaguely masculine Kartana vs. vaguely feminine Celesteela, Spaceship vs. Paper Plane, Huge vs. Tiny.
At least that's how I see it. They're both kinda bizarre.
Anyone else think it was a huge missed opportunity with some of the UB type combinations? I mean, these are extradimensional beings that don't follow any of the "rules" of Pokemon. Gamefreak should've taken the opportunity to really go wild and give us some type combinations that we've never seen before because they don't make a lot of sense in the natural world.
Like, where's our Fire/Ice UB (with immunity to Stealth Rock, of course)? What about Dark/Fairy? We certainly didn't need two of them to both be Bug/Fighting, that's for sure.

Any news on why Tauros and Miltank are on the same Pokedex page?
It is kind of disappointing that Nihilego is the only one that comes off as being really alien. Guzzlord had that opportunity I guess, but they skimped on his typing. Doesn't help that no one really knows what to do with it either.
Since Miltank's introduction they've been paired together. Just wish they'd go the full length and actually treat them the same in breeding like they do with Volbeat/Illumise and Nidoran.

That terrible feeling when you just want to google good art of your new favorite pokemon and find porn instead ( ._.)
Exactly. It's a puzzling decision.
Yeah. I didn't have too many problems with the E4 even though my pokemon were only LV 53 at the start but the champ was much stronger. Didn't help that
One thing I like about the champ thematically is that

none of my Pokemon could take on his Primarina and so had to use a Z-move to finish her off.

they finally had you take on the professor in the final after scraping that idea in gen 1
I went with Modest for mine. I figure you want to secure early KOs to get Soul Heart boosts and start tearing dudes apart with boosted Flash Cannons and Fleur Cannons. I don't see a mixed attacker being a thing even with the attack boost from Shift Gear. Just treat that as Agility imo.
Do I sign up ingame or on the Global Link?
Attack +1, Speed +2. It's basically Agility with an extra attack boost.
In a mixed set it would have the added perk of making Iron Head hit harder so she could stay in longer after Fleur Cannon.
I know but that's still wasting a boost, it's basically agility or automize.
She has access to neither. If you're looking to boost speed it's Shift Gear or nothing.
Isn't parting shot banned online for now? There was supposedly a glitch involved.
Well I'd love to do that but for whatever reason whenever I see one and dash to it the bubbles disappear as soon as I draw the fishing rod, I really stopped caring, I guess I'll farm starters and get the fishing pokemon later using GTS
You have to approach it slowly.
The fish pokemon generally go for more than starters. Everybody on the GTS almost always has the full set because trading one baby starter for another is one of the most basic trades you can do.
Dashing in Lapras causes the spots to stop bubbling. You have to approach them at normal speed.
