I was worried about having to start a new save but that sounds like it's worth it.
I’d say it’s definitely worth playing over. The story flows a lot better with some new parts to it and a couple extra very interesting battles. I liked it a lot. The OsT updates were very solid, and the sprites look really good now. The story is also overall a lot clearer and makes the villains somewhat layered.

I’ve been playing new game plus on insane and actually beat it the other day. My team:

On the topic of Sonic

I think the funniest thing about all of this is that it is nearly word for word a repeat of the 2019 SwSh drama.

Like, the way they're behaving and all of the exact things they're mad about are the same:

  • Environments
  • Animations
  • Developers
  • Yelling for a delay
  • Posting Unity footage and claiming fans do better
  • Getting funny hashtags trending

It's literally the same dang script, and it's hilarious.

You know what annoys me the most about Pokemon sword? The fact that after the dex cut all my favorite Pokemon survived the snap and were playable in this barren region.

Actually is Blaziken even in this game? I know all my other favorites made it in.

Blaziken is in Sword and Shield.

The only way to get it and the other Hoenn starters outside of trading/Pokémon Home is through the Max Lair in the Crown Tundra.

Yeah, the Hoenn starters are in. Only in the DLC though.

Yes, they rewrote most of the story and fixed basically fixing up everything, adding new music a better and not really cringe story, sprites for all the characters that were new, and a lot of neat features like a new game plus. Definitely one of the best rom hacks right now.
Yeah I can see that the cringe is gone, thank God. That was one of my big pet peeves.

Greninja was like the only one of my top favs who didn't survive SWSH dexit. He'll probably be here finally

Pretty much everyone else made it though, so errrr.. yeah, I'm a little nervous if they're coming back, lol.

Hey man, as long as the new Pokemon are cool at least

I got lucky with SwSh as most of my favorites were in the initial cut and almost all of the rest got in with the DLC, but I'm not sure how lucky I'll get with SV.

tfw Zamazenta is barely uber
They did that poor wolf dirty, while Zacian is hanging out with titans like Mega Rayquaza he's barely clinging to the bottom ring of Ubers.

Hopefully both motorcycle lizards have better luck.

God damn I'm like 3 hours in and still no Sora.

But you know what? I like Roxas.
Oh, yeah the kh2 tutorial is Uhhh... something else, haha. Probably my one real nit-pick with the game.

Nice to see you getting some appreciation out of it though.

Sure, they're gone.

Until the obligatory dlc update that lets you catch all the legendaries.

Enjoy the one year without Landorus, everybody!
I still remember the dark day.



Sword and Shield are out.


No Landorus

Metagame varied



DLC announced

Landorus one of the first things shown off

"Heard you were talkin' ****."

I think my favorite Landorus moment in Gen 8 isn't him coming back for the DLC.

It's him not getting Scorching Sands in that DLC, just to get a better signature move in PLA.

No matter how good they are, they're both getting ****ed if Zacian comes back.
Then I vote for Sword Wolf to get immediately banned to Gen 9 AG.
