Is there any way to get the other legendary horse in Crown Tundra, or do I need to have it traded to me?

If you have Pokemon Home, you can make a new profile with a new SWSH save, get the other Horse/Regi, and put them in the main save VIA home.

So out of curiosity, what's everyone current team in Sw/Sh?

I've got a current line-up of the following as my primary team:

-Rillaboom
-Butterfree
-Ninetales
-Alolan Ninetales
-Luxray
-Gyarados

All of these are among my favorite Pokemon, so using them to beat Leon for the first time ever felt satisfying lol.

I'm rolling with the team I've had the entire ride;
Blaze the Arcanine
Konga the Rillaboom
Mr. Fish the Gyrados
Peck Neck the Corviknight
CORGI!!! the Boltund (Yes, that is how her name is spelled)
And YelloJack the Slowpoke
Pretty respectable type balance if I do say so myself. I probably should take on Leon eventually.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I hate Articuno. He just won't get caught. I have the other two already and I used my Master Ball on Calyrex.

Lucy the Eldegoss
Anissa the Boltund
Jeanne the Hatterene
Sarah the Alcremie (Strawberry flavored)

I also have Kaylie the Sylveon and a Froslass I forgot to nickname on standbye.

All of them, female.

I must have used 200+ Ultra Balls trying to catch Galarian Articuno. I caught the ******. Finally. Man, I can only imagine how hard this would have been if I didn't have that many Ultra Balls.

Out of all the games to run worse, it just had to be this one. Not some super demanding AAA title optimized specifically for the Xbox One, but the thing that made Inafune a laughing stock.

Metroid Prime 4 must be an amazing game, considering it is taking a very long time.

I mean, they did just restart development on it last year after bringing Retro Studios back.

I've been waiting years for another Prime game so they can take as much time as they need to ensure it matches the quality of the original trilogy.

Current in its most literal definition:
-Lilligant
-Golurk
-Cryogonal
-Metagross
-Crobat
-Noivern

I did a blind Nuzlocke-esque "first catch of each area only" rule and was constantly rotating/had multiple teams, specifically towards late post game/DLC since you get so much experience after the party EXP gain change from Let's Go.

Spoiler

Base game by first clear (also highest leveled):

Spoiler

-Rillaboom
-Drednaw
-Coalossal
-Toxtricity (Amped)
-Weavile
-Avalugg

Honorary mention to Orbeetle, Toxapex, Grapploct and Duralodon (as well as Silvally/Charizard for the post game)

Isle of Armor by most used (up until final Mustard fight):

Spoiler

-Galarian Slowbro
-Blastoise*
-Urshifu (Rapid Strike)*
-Emolga/Rotom (Fan)
-Amoonguss
-Lycanroc (Midnight)

Already mentioned Lilligant, but HM to Sandslash/Krookodile, Talonflame, Scolipede, Wigglytuff/Blissey and... at least half a dozen other water types.

* had I known early on, I woulda picked Bulbasaur/Single Strike to avoid the "way too many other water types to list" problem.

Crown Tundra by most used (up until the Galar Star tournament):

Spoiler

-Aggron
-Nidoking/Nidoqueen
-Electabuzz
-Absol/Mawile
-Omastar/Aurorus/Cradily
-Tangrowth

HM to the rest of the aforementioned "current" squad, Altaria, and Fwoofy the Cosmog that just hung out as my walking companion despite a self-imposed no legendaries rule.

Juggling so many felt tedious at first, but I definitely enjoyed not having one super overtuned team for stuff like the Restricted Sparring/the Galar Star tournament. Making things work with some choices you wouldn't ordinarily have gone for is a good feeling.

Metroid Prime 4 must be an amazing game, considering it is taking a very long time.

The game almost died for me when they put someone who worked on Doom 2016 as a project director.

Then they hired someone from God Of War 4 for level art and my hopes got slightly better.

Me when I am working on a build in Minecraft, and my friend goes near it:

If Retro is still hiring more people, I would wish they would hire level and character designers from the Halo series just so I can have more hope for the game.

The people who worked at the Halo series have proven to be able to create memorable levels and fictional creatures (the arbiter being a good example), and I feel Metroid Prime 4 would greatly benefit from that to push the player to explore entire levels non-stop.

What's your beef with DOOM?

 

[Deleted member]

What's your beef with DOOM?

Doom 2016 was the worst experience I ever had on the Switch.

All the levels felt the same for me: going from point A to point B without getting killed, and the fact most of the levels looked like either the surface of Mars or a dark laboratory didn't help at all (even hell felt to me like the Mars levels but on a red filter).
And when people all around the internet demanded me to play It claiming It was better in every way than the Metroid Prime Trilogy while making me constantly expect too much... I of course ended up feeling that It didn't live Up to the hype.

So when you tell me that they are hiring someone who is only known for working on that Game as one of the directors from the upcoming Prime 4, I expect the worst and imagine Samus walking around levels which all look the same as in Doom 2016 (basically taking out one of the things I liked from the Prime trilogy: the variety in the levels).

But yeah, after they hired someone from God Of War 4 for level art (since God Of War 4 has really outstanding levels which actually push the player to explore on their entirety) and a Producer from the GTA and Red Dead Redemption series, I kinda have been feeling slightly better about Prime 4 after that first scare.


And in case you ask: yes, It seems at first glance that Doom Eternal fixed all the problems I had with Doom 2016, although I still need to play It.

Is the name of Gyarados a reference to this?

Today is the release of the PS5.

I'm in no rush to getting it soon as hyped as I am for God of War: Ragnarok. I have all the time in the world and other things in mind. Might wait until my birthday perhaps.

I'm gonna wait a good while before I buy the Xbox Series X or PS5 as I know from past console launches that in the first months there will be a lot of technical issues with the systems
reported online.

Not sure if the wait will last one or two years, but either way I feel the wait will be easy for me.

On second thought, I just might wait to see if its price eventually goes down or it's on sale. But good idea on your part on waiting a good while given said technical issues. That didn't occur to me. I might do the same.

I really want one but there's no way I could justify dropping $500 right now.

I'm gonna get it for Christmas soon. (Or maybe Xbox)
If not, I might get a gaming computer due to mine, a Windows 7 being old.

And I'm moving to a new house soon.

I'm gonna have to save for a PS5 and even then I'm gonna have to buy games for the damn thing so it's not gonna be until maybe next summer when I feel I got the extra surplus of money to pay for it.

 

[Deleted member]

Been checking prices for PS5 games online for stores in my island and It seems I got really lucky (or kinda) again just for living where I do.

Demon's Souls for example instead of costing the 80€ it Will cost everywhere in Europe, seems to cost 70€ or 74,99€ over here (which is closer to the prices in the rest of the world).

While I still feel 70€ is still too much for what I can afford, I am indeed happy that I seemed to dodge the 80€ bullet against all odds.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Congrats man. Hope your new place is as you expect.

I myself moved into my own place back in September. Really enjoying the bachelor life. All I really need is my dog Molly, nothing could make me happier.

never really been into the playstation so it's an easy pass for me. Have to save up for a new laptop anyway.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Thinking about it now, I might wait a year or so to get a PS5.

Also curious. How long does it often take for prices to go down on consoles? Because that's what I'm thinking when I decide to get one. Either that or whenever there is a sale.

Retro did hire people who worked on Halo...in fact you'd be hardpressed to find a AAA title that doesn't have somebody coming to work on Prime 4 at this point. Retro's been going all over the industry this past year hiring folks.

I don't think you have to worry much, Metroid, specifically the Primes have always had very strong environments and level designs.

Didn't Retro also hired former employees of Visceral Games, the studio responsible for the Dead Space games?
