I believe it does relate to catch counts. I went on a rampage and caught about 70 pokemon. After a bit I got a distortion space. Did the thing. Just let my guy idle but then another one spawned about 10 minute after. Did that as well. Idled again out of curiosity and another spawned. After that...
Man, it feels weird to have "beaten" the game before its fully released. I plan on picking it up Friday just to transfer it to a legit switch lol. Might wait until I do the research missions legit/hex em but then why bother
Not sure if you found an answer already but I had a quest to use a swinub to find mushrooms or something. After I finished that quest, craig had appeared. It might have been because the NPC locations were close to eachother but it was near the waterfall iirc
Unfortunately I dont know where they are. I just have the stars on the map that I had tracked which is like 2 or 3. The rest I found way before through comments. Thats all I got sorry
check my comment above a few posts
Stars are where I found whisps. Crystal was the hole in the ground. Pokeballs for spawns (?) so ignore those. Didnt track much this go around..
The one I was missing was next to the Lake Acuity to the south west where it says Glacier Terrace. Good luck!
@Xdqwerty, Its all about tech and it has an interesting story. Lain becomes obsessed with a virtual world called "The Wired" and that she tries to explore her true identity.
