Only time I used GTS, I got beaten by a trade, only to get what I wanted 30 seconds later :p It's REALLY helpful to catch everything you see, and now I've got Mareanie without having to saw my teeth out!
Been messing around in Pelago for a bit, I kinda like it now tbh. Though I'm bummed Staryu and Drifblim, which I didn't have in the dex, left but fucking Pikipek stayed

Hot damn Vast Poni Canyon is long as shit.

I've not managed to get anything to stay in Pelago, but there's no shortage of moochers eatin my hard earned beans. :lol

Motherfucking Carbink. Usually I have no problem with these fuckers and I already have one in my dex
But they can SOS Sableye
goddammit
EDIT: Serebii, there's no way in hell that's a 20% chance of spawning Sableye

On the last island and my 3DS battery gets warm whenever I play for too long. Should I start looking into getting a new battery or just take a break from the game?

Just beat the main story.

I love this game.

Depends, check the back of your 3DS, if it looks like the back is puffing up then yes a new battery is absolutely necessary.

TBH the more I play through Moon the more I miss XY and ORAS.

The island challenge is kinda cool but so much feels like a regression.

And XY's story,Mon design and region just clicked with me better.

Took out the battery; doesn't look swollen and I did the spin test. Didn't spin on flat surface, so it could just be heat from long play times. It is a RPG after all.

EDIT: Mom offered to get a new battery for the 3DS. I feel bad about this, but I don't want the system to explode if I did the spin test wrong.

Well if there's nothing wrong with your battery then I don't see the need to find a new one.

I'm assuming that you have an original 3DS, I'd see if anyone else has that issue, since Sun and Moon really push the limits of that original hardware. I mean, seriously...I have framerate dips when just running around in Hau'Oli city with Tauros. Of course, from what I've heard, this isn't an issue on the New 3DS.
