Probably not a popular opinion, but I think SwSh postgame is alright.

Final battle with Hop is fun. His Zacian nearly swept me because lol Zacian is nuts.
I didn’t think it was bad, per se. the stuff with Hop finding his purpose is cool, and the two dudes are so stupid they’re amusing. You kinda just go from point a to b to c, and you don’t do that much.

I fought his Zamazenta and had no trouble because my Zacian is nuts :p

Noipoi Noipoi this is accurate, right?

also R.I.P. Applin
I wouldn’t know because I picked Sobble, not knowing what it evolved into.

Once I knew the evolutions I immediately got myself a Scorbunny and carried a Cinderace from the fifth gym onward.


I feel like Nuzlockes will need to cut off before Hop's Zacian because of how crazy it is, lol. It was able to nearly one shot my Zamazenta with Close Combat, and he out speeds even a Cinderace lol. :laugh:

It's definitely not as good as oldschool Pokemon post games or even ORAS', but hey, it's a better postgame than X&Y (at least, in my opinion). :p
Tbch the postgame in the first games of the generation haven’t been good for a while. It’s usually the second game that picks up the slack.

The d/p remakes’ Arceus episode will deliver.

It depends on the version. In Sword, you get Zacian and he gets Zamazenta, while in Shield it's reversed and you get Zamazenta and he gets Zacian.

Hop gets the better end of the deal in Shield. :p

Gotta say the biggest fail imo was the Xbox trailer.

It starts off and I honestly had no idea what the hell I was looking at. It was a bunch of random ass games thrown into a trailer. The graphics are nice but I honestly thought it wasn’t a world premiere but an ad for the Xbox one.

Then you get the design and it’s alright. Looks kinda of bulky.
The biggest problem is the name though. Like I saw that and didn’t even realize this was suppose to be scarlet.

I thought it was just a new model. It seems a lot of people thought similar things. Even gamexplain bought a lot of interesting points on why it just didn’t land.

I’m betting right now it tanks. There are a lot of kids on every system out there, so when the ones that play Xbox say I want the Xbox series x for Christmas,

well let’s be honest little Timmy probably going to end up with a Xbox one or hell not even a console at all because parents will think oh “series X” so it’s just a different model because that’s what the series conveys.

Like when a new card game set for example gets released, they get labeled a new series. It’s still the same game just a new label and of course cards.

So I think the sales in this are going to be very interesting and I don’t see how the hell they thought this name sounded great when the Wii U failed for these very reasons and it’s name didn’t convey it was different wel either.

Like we have to wait and see but I don’t think it’s going to do as well as it could

Folks’ll change their tune on the series X when they announce Banjo Remastered for it.
As much as i'd like that i'm not buying a whole new console just for banjo. Hopefully they'd release it on pc as well if not switch but I don't know.

One thing I like about the Pokemon anime is that what was once a shameless promotion to get kids to buy the game and merchandise, slowly became it's own thing over time.

And it did it really well too, like, even though the games and anime share the same story concept, it would be a lie to say that the anime follows what happens in the game in a mostly verbatim fashion nowadays.

In fact, the games are pulling from the Anime nowadays.

The card game example is a bit incorrect, coming from a person who has a **** ton of experience in this area.
It varies from series to series, but the general rule of thumb is that Sets in TCG's aren't the same game; rather it adds on to the game, thus changing it. Of course, this isn't always the case(there have been times where cards in new sets just don't get used at all, competitively speaking, because the older cards are just better) but my main point is that saying the game is still the same is a tad bit incorrect.
If I want to be even more nitpicky, I could just go all-out with rotating formats as an example...for example, rotating formats quite literally becoming vastly different games over the years(the primary example of this is the history of Standard in MTG, along with the mass Pokemon-powercreep because of new mechanics every year.


Anyway, that's my nitpick of the day, take it as you will.

It’ll release for Switch and Series X cuz micro and ninty are tight.
I swear, Microsoft and Nintendo's recent relationship puts most TV romance "will they or won't they" couples to shame. I'm constantly wondering when they'll just commit already and put an Xbox title like Halo or Rare Replay on the Switch with how cozy they've been.

I liked JarJar. He was not great. But I found him fun when I watch the prequels. I do not see the hate he or the kid that played Aniken got. The original trilogy is rather meh already.
