Now that the game has been out for about a week, this list could be updated slightly. Here are a few other things I noticed during my brief playthrough, as well as some further findings which have dropped since the game's release: 17. The audio and sound design is poor. In fact, configuring the...

My brother purchased a copy of Pokemon Sword and we played it together, completing the main campaign in < 14 hours. We weren't speed running and spent a fair amount of time screwing around in the wild area. The games just really are that short. I think everything negative to say about SwSh has...

Thanks for providing this summary. It's a nice compilation of the main issues I have with SwSh. Please don't be one of those people who expects the game to be bad, but buys it anyway because you are a "fan" and it's "Pokemon". Your hard-earned money can be better spent on so many other titles...

Quite a lot of interesting stuff here... In terms of mechanics, Pikachu's signature attack is able to inflict paralysis on Mudsdale. Butterfree can also inflict sleep on the new Grass type (which are immune to "powder" moves). We already know that dyanmax moves have some interesting properties...

I tend to agree that two versions per game is a silly cash grab at this point. If encouraging trading is the goal, I think there are more effective ways of doing this. XY's friend safari is perhaps the perfect illustration of this. When these games debutted, everyone was clamering for friend...

This is more or less the main reason why I am even following SwSh's development. We're going to see an upheaval of the metagame that will be very interesting to watch unfold. I think it's likely that we'll see quite a few legendaries cut from the game. Unlike regular Pokemon, legends aren't as...

Yeah, not sure why it needed to be 24 hours long. Ah well. Galarian Ponyta is kinda neat.

I haven't been following SwSh closely enough to say what we already know is included, so maybe some of this post will be irrelevant. Here are some Pokemon I hope don't get included in SwSh. I'm thinking more along the lines of competitive singles really. Landorus: In particular, the Therian...

True that. I think Misdreavus got a boost as low as +60 BST. I'm hoping that Sirfetch'd gets bumped up to 500 BST or higher. I'm also thinking that a Speed drop is quite possible (given how slow everything was in gen 7), so they could maybe re-purpose that into Attack / Defence. My speculation...

I care, it's a fun game. Speculation and theorymon has always been one of the more enjoyable parts of new generation hype, as baseless as it normally is (I remember during gen 4's inception when people were worried about Rhyperior being broken).

One thing I didn't pick up on before: After looking at the trailer, the revealed HP values seem to indicate that Sirfetch'd keeps a base HP stat around that of its pre-evolution (52). I'd be surprised if it got the Scyther -> Scizor treatment (wherein it keeps the same BST but redistributed)...

Eh, short of recieving a game breaking hidden ability, Sirfetch'd will probably be a trashmon. The competition for pure Fighting types is fierce. Passimian also gets Defiant and has a well rounded stat distribution and movepool. Conkeldurr and Machamp are already good bulky breakers, while...

Neat. If you subscribe to that silly coma theory, then I guess next episode we get to see a 30-something Ash waking up screaming in a hospital bed. Oak has long since passed away and Pikachu became feral and returned to the wild. His mother, now an alchoholic, refuses to believe that this...

Most people I've spoken to seem OK with a limited national dex. There's an understanding that with new Pokemon added each generation, it's inevitable that eventually some content needs to be cut from the games. That said, in this case it doesn't make any sense because GF are reusing models from...

I don't think Game Freak are actually capable of delivering the kind of experience that fans expect. It's hard to see why this is, considering that Pokemon is the largest media franchise in the world (greater than Mario, a consistently fantastic series). I would love for Nintendo to purchase...

Kanto Weezing has Toxic Spikes and all the coverage it needs. The Galarian form now gives it a far superior typing and an ability that shuts down a lot of top tier threats (Contrary Seperior, Mega Mawile lacking Iron Head, Magic Guard Clefable...). The one thing we don't know is the stat...

Here's some stuff I have made recently, takin' requests. MS PAINT DOODLES I need to get back into drawing. Name me a Pokemon and I'll make it. NEWSPAPER DOODLES Sometimes if I'm bored on a train I'll, like, doodle something in one of the free newspapers or on a scrap of paper...

psst

Howdy howdy hey, bacon's ghost here. Sorry for going AWOL, my life was pretty crazy and I felt like I needed to remove online distractions. I consequently bricked my PB account, along with my social media presence. I'm not really into Pokemon anymore, but if anyone would like to keep in contact...
