Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Shroob]

40+ minutes.

EDIT: Shiny Keldeo and Meltan Home rewards have officially been announced.

Shiny Meltan

......what's the point? It can't even evolve outside of GO... which I don't think you can even send it to once it's in Home.


It's a literal trophy lol.

A shiny trophy. Maybe there'll be a way to evolve it in a future game.

Anyway, I went through what I need for Keldeo. 127 Pokemon. Now I was certain I had uploaded Kubfu from Sword way back when to get it registered on home except it's one of the ones I need. Unfortunately I also evolved my one in Shield :/

Kanto I'm at 0 because I don't have the Let's Go games.

I'm at like, 30 or so per Dex for Sword. So 90ish

But I recently reset my Sword so like


YAY LET'S GO ENGERLAND YAAAAAY /s

Well I've got a bunch I just need to move into Home to reduce that number.

If you get Kubfu would you mind trading?

Yeah sure. I can get that done by tomorrow.

 

[Aurane]

I have the Let's Go games but I'm not gonna bother. It's a ****ty shiny. Trophy or not.

 

[Shroob]

Honestly I really just don't wanna have to deal with the missing Trade Evos.

Version exclusives are whatever, I can trade 'em over from Scar/Vio and Breed 'em, but **** like Electrivire, Magmortar(iirc) and Rhyperior are gonna be pains in the ass.


Them and the fossils.

 

[cashregister9]

Made this super quick, but my bingo card for the SOP

(I have not looked at any leaks yet)

You can catch those trade evos in the wild in the DLC areas.

Okay that helps.

......still means I gotta replay Sword.....again

Just dont give me college trig and calc, I will die

College? I was already doing trigonometry in middle school.

 

[Aurane]

Shroob I got called a **** for using that shiny Scream Tail in a raid and got an apology afterwards cause I saved the team with screens and heals lmao

Gotta love when you're the only one in the raid willing to support.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Thats why i said "college" because Im sure I did trig in highschool but that college **** stressed me the **** out

I can relate. Geometry was always my most hated subject.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

For me, i think.it has always been math. It made me feel so stupid, it suucked

 

[Aurane]

I hated school. They just wanted me gone the entire way through to the point they just pushed me through the final year- even though I skipped like, half of it.

 

[---]

Darn, just when I thought I was done with SwSh; I already spent an extra 50 hours last month beating the game again and completing the DLC/Dynamax Adventures for both versions. lol At least I have both versions and I don't recall any Trade Evolutions that aren't wild captures, so it shouldn't be too difficult I assume.

I wouldn't exactly mind revisiting Let's Go as I think they are underrated, but that reward definitely isn't great. I already caught a Shiny Meltan in Go during one of the events where it wasn't Shiny Locked. I guess at least by having it as an unlock in Home, it won't be tied to a limited event that hasn't run in over a year (as far as I can remember). Really should have been Shiny Melmetal or Shiny Mew.

I guess I at least have something to do while I wait for my new copies of SV to come in the mail.

 

[Aurane]

Oh dude this Item Printer is awesome.

Edit: Ooooh it costs BP, interesting.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Just 40 more Pokémon to go now for Keldeo.

 

[CosmicEternity44]

Here is a little something for you all.

Jeff Grubb Weighs In On The Rumored February Nintendo Direct - Gameranx

There still isn't a firm confirmation...

gameranx.com

Mini-Direct/Partners Showcase this month, maybe?

 

[SneakyLink]

Big Dill is taking over Fortnite on February 21. The City of endless crime (Crime City) has arrived. How will this affect the story, and what sort of otherworldly characters (characters from other franchises) will appear? Find out in “Chapter 6 Season 2. Lawless: Dill With It”.

And yes, we effectively got GTA in Fortnite before GTA 6.

One week warning for those wanting to add Baymax or Godzilla to their game. Neither is exclusive, but it will be at least until October 2026 until they return.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Day 13: Torchic

Yes of course I was gonna pick the TCG picture with a lot of flowers on it, who do you think I am?

The Sonic CrossWorlds leaks

Spoiler

The ****ing Secret Rings dino being back of ALL things makes me believe this more cause why would you ever bring that thing back lmao. It getting more attention than Jet is also funny as hell

Spoiler: Spoilers!

JET IS BACK

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm really hoping the shiny Meltan event is a sign that we can soon evolve it without needing to rely on GO.

It's programmed to learn Thunder Punch upon evolving in both LGPE and SwSh for crying out loud.

 

[Wademan94]

Oh dude this Item Printer is awesome.

Edit: Ooooh it costs BP, interesting.

It’s extremely nice once you fully upgrade it

 

[Aurane]

Okay warm feelings time.

So I have an emotional support animal named Goji. He's a tuxedo cat who is everything to me. Well today I decided he needed some new toys- a turbo scratcher (a round flat scratch able middle with a ball that rolls around the outside) and two yarn balls with a ball in its hallow core. So I got them out and set them up, expecting him to not be very interested in them. You know he did? He came over to me after playing a little bit, and started rubbing on me, giving me kisses and now I'm full of nothing but happiness. I love Goji.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

All these live-action Disney films suck.

Especially Aladdin. Will Smith Genie looks like a giant smurf. Lmao.

 

[dezeray112]

Made this super quick, but my bingo card for the SOP

(I have not looked at any leaks yet)

Some of my predictions:

Fighting Game: Possibly a new character reveal (or Cristiano Ronaldo reveal) for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, a second season pass trailer for Tekken 8 or something related to the new Virtua Fighter entry.

Capcom: Whilst it is way too soon for a Street Fighter 6 character gameplay trailer for Elena, I'd like to hear if there are any further progress for Pragmata which had been delayed for a while now.

Square-Enix: Umm.......maybe a Final Fantasy XIII collection?

Sonic: Possibly more news on their cross worlds racing game.

 

[Arcanir]

Spoiler

Some new Pokémon Home distributions have been spotted for completing the Let’s Go and Sword/Shield dexs within Home.

This reminds me: Can I ask for someone to touch trade the PLA Darkrai? It should be the only one I need for the game.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

......what's the point? It can't even evolve outside of GO... which I don't think you can even send it to once it's in Home.


It's a literal trophy lol.

Really? They haven’t made it evolvable in any other game yet? That surprises me.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Been thinking about how the pop culture jokes are probably seen as the worst part of the Sonic movies while the IDW comics have references to Metal Gear Solid, Ghost Trick and multiple Umineko When They Cry references of all things. Someone smarter than me probably has an essay about how fun little easter eggs work better than "Hey guys, I'm Sonic, I know who Oprah is and what Harry Potter and the Beatles are, fun, right?"

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Gonna see Captain America now. Got no expectations coming in

Truly enlightened people aren’t bothered by either.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Just realized Mario Odyssey was announced 8 years ago, meaning children around that time are now adults, how's your wednesday afternoon?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This Cookie run update got me geekin out, i need to calm down.
Also good morning, i over slept for a while hour

 

[SneakyLink]

And Overwatch 2 is bringing back lootboxes.

 

[Z25]

Even more mythic events announced and I still have like 35 things left in Legends Arceus and an unknown amount in other games.

I should have most of scarlet and violet done. No idea on sword and shield however.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

A new Digimon game got put on pre order eo chances are the reveal is at the State of Play tonight

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Its been happening for weeks now but I think I got what's believed to be trigger finger.

Be seeing my family doctor next month. Until then got a finger split and taking some advil.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

My 11 year anniversary on this site was yesterday. I started my tenure here at the ripe age of 15 going on 16 and here I am still, 26 going on 27. What a ride.
