『Violet Scarlet Pokemon]“Ghost swapping NPCs” attracts attention. It seems that the background to the welcome Pokémon exchange, which is nothing out of the ordinary, was an act of “spirit exchange” and “mochimono” in the series’ past works. He’s an “honest” NPC that doesn’t give Pokemon unnecessary properties.
“Pokémon Scarlet Violet” (hereafter referred to as “Scarlet Violet”) is the latest work in the “Pokémon” series. Developed by Game Freak. The biggest feature of this work is that you can enjoy the city and nature that spreads seamlessly without boundaries in the open world. A new adventure is unfolding in the vast area of the Pardea region, the stage. In addition to new Pokemon, many Pokemon from previous series will also appear in this work. Fans of the series will enjoy the nostalgia of familiar faces as well as the surprise of discovering unknown Pokémon.
In this work, the spirit, the spirit, and the gengar that have appeared since the first generation also appear. A Pokemon swap event with a certain NPC associated with them attracts the attention of users. The NPC exists in Hakko City, one of the leading cities in the Pardea region. It is a city where Nanjamo, who is a popular video distributor in the game, serves as a gym leader. The NPC stands in the center of Hakkou City, in the southern part of the monster ball-shaped corridor built on the sea.
The NPC in question is wearing sunglasses, and as soon as he sees us, he calls out “Bachinuni”. When I talk to him, he asks me to exchange the sea urchin for a ghost. If you have sea urchin, you can exchange it as is. What I would like to focus on here is that the state of evolution of the spirit is to exchange Pokémon with other people. Even if you swap with this NPC, Ghost will evolve into Gengar.
This is a non-descript Pokemon trading event with an NPC. However, the Twitter post of the foreign news account that introduced this event recorded about 65,000 likes and about 4,000 RTs. Why is this event so popular? It is believed that the reason for this is “Pokémon Diamond and Pearl” (hereafter referred to as “Diamond and Pearl”).
Even in “Diamond and Pearl”, a ghost exchange event was prepared. In Kissaki City, there is an NPC that will exchange spells and ghosts. If you prepare a spell and exchange it, you can get Gengar by fulfilling the evolution conditions without having to exchange communication with someone. Because the same stone was given to the NPC exchange spirit in the same work (English name: Everstone).
A volatile stone is an item that can be held by a Pokémon to prevent that Pokémon from evolving. You can deliberately stop the evolution, such as when you want to learn the technique early. While evolving, you can cancel the evolution with the B button, but if you give it a constant stone, you can save the trouble of canceling every time you meet the evolution conditions such as leveling up . Evolution to Gengar by Pokemon exchange the spirit still it is also inevitably stopped.
Additionally, in “Pokémon Blue”, by swapping Pokemon with an NPC, I was able to get Gengar in a form that evolved after the swap. Also, players who know the evolution conditions should expect to evolve into Gengar if told to swap spirits. In “Diamond and Pearl”, the “unchanging spirit” was a presence that betrayed the expectations of such players. This NPC is still alive in the remake version of “Pocket Monsters Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl”. Both the original and the remake planted bittersweet memories in the players.
The exchange with the spirit that “evolves properly to Gengar” prepared in this work “Scarlet Violet” has become an event that will shatter the “trauma of Kissaki City”. Many users paid attention to it because of the contrast with the slightly mean events of the previous work.
As mentioned above, in this work, you can get Gengar by preparing sea urchins and going to Hakko City. If you want Gengar on your own, go see a “genuine” NPC. If you can’t find the urchin the NPC is looking for, it would be a good idea to search for it based on the name “urchin”.
