I just realized how isolated SWSH are from the rest of the series.

Usually, every game has some sort of significant callback (Kanto in GSC, Jasmine in DPP, the PWT, Rainbow Rocket, Looker, etc). SWSH has none of that.

The fire type Gym Leader is from Hoenn, and they make that abundantly clear.

That's about it tho.

I haven’t played much of Crown Tundra but man the island itself is a pretty nice one to get lost around. The Dynamax adventures are amazing to. We have good shiny odds but more importantly a really fun take on raid battles that I think is what they should be. With all kinds of varied Pokémon that could be fun to catch and use personally.

Really hope this sticks around for future games.

Dynamax Adventures really fixes my one big problem with raid battles.

In regular raids, barriers draw battles to a halt. I get why they're neccesary to draw it out, bit it still sucks how you have to go for several turns dealing nearly no damage. By making the battles a gauntlet however they're able to avoid the problem of ORKOing the big boss battle.

The one thing that does suck about DAs is that you can't bring your own pokemon, but choosing from a small pool of 'mon does help them control the difficulty and more importantly asks you to make interesting decisions, and decision making is one of the most important parts of an engaging RPG.

I get why though, they don't want everyone bring their totally not hacked Level 100 Mewtwo to cheese the challenge, especailly since the shields were removed.

Plus, it does give a bit more variety.

I mentioned it yesterday, so here's my wish list for the remaining Fighters Pass. I spent way too much effort than I should've making it look good.

I might do one for the remaining for leftover slots as well later, in case they'll ever do a FP3.

Same.

I just saw some friends of my cousins going to beat the Dragon back in the day because I didn't know how to do It myself.

It was at an age where I used to get stuck at very random things like the tutorial in Wind Waker.

Someday I think we need to organize a Ender Dragon/Wither fighting session.

I've mentioned her quite a fair bit in the past. But yeah, I don't really mind which Sakura gets in, Shinguji and Amamiya are both fine by me, whatever helps giving that series more exposure. Bonus points if Shinguji comes with a Segata cameo though.

Until recently I didn't even know there's an end to Minecraft.

I just found out about is as well, while looking for some artwork. I wonder if we will get a 30th anniversary title next year and hopefully it'll be localized then for once. Still a shame we never got Chronicles either, but at least there's fan translation in the works.

That would be really cool.

I need to get used to the mechanics of the game and the Crafting first doh, as It has been years since I last played the game.

So, here's my wishlist for a potential third FP to fill the remaining 4 slots.

Honorable mentions who didn't make it for one reason or the other:
Reimu Hakurei, Stafy, Sukapon, Waluigi, Alex Kidd, Bill Rizer & Lance Bean (maybe for the better with modern Konami) and Dixie Kong.
