[Jondolio]

Turns out I have more work than I thought so I probably won't be able to start the Pokémon DLC until tomorrow

 

[Shroob]

Okay, got all the trade evolutions done via raids.


Now just gonna look for Bastiodon/Rampardos since those are raids and I'll be good to go..... til I have to speedrun Violet.

 

[TheMightyP]

A part if me wondees why they even bither with trade evos anymore, they haven't made a new one since Gen 5 and you can you can find them in raids or link cable them. Kinda removes all purpose for them existing if you can easily obtain them in single player

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

My snakE ****Ing ESCAPED HIS TANK AT 4 AM

I ran Around the hoUse till ****ing 6 am to find him!

Im CRANKY

 

[Noipoi]

[TheMightyP]

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Why did Twitch think this was good

Take it to the fridge

My.....
snake?

Edit: cranky kong, got it

 

[Guynamednelson]

No.
I just played for one hour.

Oh

"was fun" just sounded like you already beat it.

 

[Aurane]

Alright is this new dlc worth it or not.

 

[Shroob]

Spoiler: Thoughts on the DLC soo far

Yep, it's Pokemon, in all its jank.

Catching Pokemon will always, always be fun, but this DLC feels ungodly jank.


Walking Wake and Iron Valiant seemingly aren't even available, at least no one's found them like the other 2, so if you missed their event? Tough ****. They're also AFTER Terapagos in the Dex and not with their group members, so this seems entirely intentional.

Alcremie mats can't be bought and you're at the mercy of rng to even find them.

Kleavor is here... but not it's evolution item. So sure, you can catch it but you can't evolve your own Scyther into one cause......???????

They fixed Hisuian Qwilfish's evolution method... but not Stantler's for some reason despite them sharing one.

All, and I mean ALL the Legendaries are shiny locked.

Seemingly no battle facility at all.

Also Pecharunt is a mythical. The story isn't even finished cause we're just waiting for a mythical distribution.



Bros I don't feel soo good.

So basically it's fun but it's also a Pokemon Game™️

 

[Lamperouge]

Alright, y'all got me

I'll try Violet

And while I'm aware that this thread doesn't seem too fond of it, I did buy a copy of Shining Pearl alongside it. Probably gonna run through that one first since I enjoyed the originals and want to ease back into the series.

 

[Shroob]

Spoiler: Pokemon

The fact there's no battle facility, thus no postgame

The fact that 2 of the new trios of Paradoxes are effectively Mythicals now

The fact that you just straight up can't evolve some Pokemon despite them existing in the overworld

The fact that the MAIN ANTAGONIST OF THE DLC STORY is a mythical with a ton of on cart story content locked behind an event we may or may not get

Yeah well Pokemon was never really known for making good decisions. This is the aame Franchise where it was impossible to obtain Arceus for a long time and threw the Gen 6 legendary into Gen 7.

Spoiler

These just feel incredibly stupid though.


Imagine a Pokemon game where you could get Zapdos and Moltres but, ah, ya missed the timed event? Tough **** kid, no Articuno for you. If all 3 were like this I'd at least get it, but you have a side quest specifically made to get two of them so...???


And Pecharunt is just soo sad. There is SOO MUCH on disc content related to it, which solves basically all the ????? Datamines from earlier, but it's a Mythical, so now the question is "Will they actually use it, or just distribute it via mystery gift?"

Pokemon Day 2024 event is my bet. Extend the lifespan of SV, and if the Unova remakes are true, then it's a segway to thay.

I hope you enjoy yourself with both

 

[Shroob]

Also, the fact that Home is down for Main for another....12 hours... not counting the fact they'll be slowly letting people in...


I legit can't play anymore since ALL my boxes are full. I need to transfer some **** over to Violet which serves as my "We have Bank at home."

 

[TheMightyP]

I hope you enjoy yourself with both

If you enjoy it, get Legends too, imo it's the most complete Pokemon game on the Switch Lamperouge

 

[Jondolio]

Gonna try and hunt a Shiny Applin for my team before I start the DLC

I love Sinistcha but over half my team is Ghost type

 

[Shroob]

I guess in the meantime I'll speedrun Violet.


....gonna need to anyway to complete the Dex.

 

[Lamperouge]

I hope you enjoy yourself with both

Me too

Sword just left a really bad taste in my mouth, man.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

[TheMightyP]

Me too

Sword just left a really bad taste in my mouth, man.

Yeah I would imagine swords wouldn't taste very good.

Probably dangerous too.

 

[Shroob]

See how much BP you need to get the starters to spawn

Yeah I think I may just trade for em....

12k BP is a bit.... much when you get like 20-50 a mission.

 

[Noipoi]

Me too

Sword just left a really bad taste in my mouth, man.

The newer games aren’t without their flaws, and it’s entirely possible you don’t like them too much either. But I will say that they’re definitely moving away from a lot of the things that made SwSh so…y’know.

 

[SneakyLink]

Forgot to mention this yesterday, but reports have come out that WBD has a roughly 67% chance of going bankrupt.

Such an awesome studio, ruined by management.

 

[Noipoi]

Positive: The BBQ’s are relatively simple
Negative: You’d have to do a million to get the required amount

 

[Wario Bros.]

Looks like my theory I had prior to Indigo Disk's release that the new Stellar type is connected to Arceus' Legend Plate didn't turn out to be true.

 

[Shroob]

Positive: The BBQ’s are relatively simple
Negative: You’d have to do a million to get the required amount

That and there's other stuff you have to buy, right?

[TheMightyP]

Started the land where there's no Kilometers DLC.

Appreciate the Unova remixes, triggered the inner nostalgia in me.

 

[Schnee117]

That and there's other stuff you have to buy, right?

There's a pretty sizable amount outside of that, yeah.

 

[Noipoi]

That and there's other stuff you have to buy, right?

Yeah. The other stuff is cheaper, and it shouldn't be hard to grind some more BP, but still.

 

[Shroob]

Oh ya as a heads up

Spoiler: A certain Poke-Peach

but the entire Pecharunt sidequest is currently on disc, and people have already enabled it via hacking so... spoilers beware out there.

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok so first impressions on the DLC:
It doesn't run like complete ass like Teal Mask.


Off to a good start!

they should’ve let you battle Miku in the DLC :>

 

[TheMightyP]

First area of the game and Gamefreak bombards you with Gen 1 Pokemon

 

[Shroob]

So are all of

El Diablo's forms back?


Considering the MC doesn't spin like the SwSd MC, I was wondering if only a handful are obtainable or if there really are 60 something...

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Has there ever been a more satisfying sound in video games than this?
