I am more disappointed that they remove mega. I usually draft my team base on mega that I wanted to use.

My Mega Lucario, Mega Mawile, Mega Aerodactyl, so sad not able to use them.

Well I guess my mind hasnt change, going to wait for the next version where they include everything, in other words, how the game is supposed to be.
*
Yeap. I liked mega evolution more than z moves and probably gigantimax Pokémon too.

I wanted mega Salamance as well.
The only previous Uber Pokémon that made the list is aegislash.

So I just read that there is no GTS in this game. My god what have they done to my pokemon game... At this rate Pokemon GO might be the better game.

Any source?
Some sites says that it’s still possible to trade online.
You need a Nintendo online subscription though.

Well I read at gamefaqs and reddit. Lots of backlash there lol.

Of course its still possible to trade online, but it takes a lot of time, changing friend codes, waiting for reply and so on. Using GTS you can get every exclusive in a few minutes.
*
That’s true.GTS makes trading easier.
I remember the giveaways via GTS on gamefaqs too.

Not sure if I’ll receive my copy by the end of the day. But my switch lite isn’t even here yet (order placed last week on Lazada).

Guess I’ll start a few days later. It’s a short game afterall.

Hey guys. Im still conflicting whether or not im getting this game or not. The reviews seems to be conflicting. Lemme know once u guys played yah
*
For casual players, I think reviews give a pretty good picture. Also, don’t most of us get a switch because of Pokémon?

For seasoned players, especially those who invested several thousand hours in Gen7/Gen6 are understandably upset. This is essentially a premium beta before the full game to be released next year or the year after.
Most would complain, but likely they’ll still get them.

you go reddit liao

see all the banter there

well i could say angmohs are pretty nitpicky in the first place,..but some of their concerns were valid
yea its true. Probably ultra sword/shield would make this better

but still i can't scratch the itch to play this game.

saw the gym battles and the soundtrack is just awesome
*
Those who complain about Dexit would wipe the floor with those casual players in Pokémon battles. But too bad ...unlike the Pokémon world, decisions aren’t made through Pokémon battles hahaha.

Several shops are selling this at below RM200.
Likely price will only drop further after this too.
If we just compare to AAA switch games, it’s not a bad buy.

I don’t like dexit. But given the circumstances (portable+still a decent rpg), I made a preorder as well (coming next week though).

which shops are selling below rm200?

can drop by to get a copy

n i heard shield is cheaper than sword?
*
Not sure of physical shops.
But I’m sure there are, some earlier post did mention about it.

Most below rm200 is online. I got mine from Lazada.
These online retailers sell shield cheaper than sword.
I doubt it really matters anyway, since we can easily trade for exclusive.

One thing I notice is that mystery gift Pokémon are registered under your trainer id.
This means the mew from the pokeball plus will never disobey you.

In Previous games, gifts Pokémon have a diff trainer Id and this will disobey you without the right gym badge.

You mean, have to play both games together if want to fight exclusive gym leader? Using 2 tape together or got 1 tape combine together?
*
Apparently so. You need both versions if you want to experience fighting both gym leaders.

But I would just wait for the third version/ultra version with the complete Pokédex and gameplay.

I got Pokémon sword.
I’ll wait for the “ultra” version of Pokémon shield next year or in 2021.

I just realize Pokémon sword does not support Nintendo online cloud save.
Switching between consoles would be a pain.

That's how you waste most of your time in the game I guess. I mean I was at 13 hours in before I even get the first gym badge. That's in game save time. Didn't even include how many hours it took for me to reset nature.  biggrin.gif
*
I’ve spent like 10 hours before the first gym too.
Trying to get a semblance of a 6 Pokémon team before moving on.

Resetting for nature is very troublesome.

I usually avoid that until I get the destiny knot and another region’s ditto with perfect IV and the nature I need.

If you want to trade, vs other people, see people in the wold areas, and join other people's camp, yes.
New game is way easy to breed at least, quality of life improvements regarding that. Anyway with mints and etc it's a lot easier for good natures, and also could boost stats somewhat unlimited now
*
Boost stat somewhat unlimited?
Mind explaining?
I’ve not reached the end game yet.
But isn’t stats determined by nature + level + IV + EV ?
There is a way to overcome this limit ?

Probably the proteins, etc that boost ev. Now you can use unlimited amount and at once. Handy

Breeding can pass egg move between pokemon now, father to mother. No need to hatch egg.

--

Rushed to sixth gym to get surf. Now going to hunt dreepy.
*
That makes more sense.
In USUM, raising EV isn’t hard/tedious.
Just have to be patient with the island.

Good to know it’s even easier now.

What’s left is just an item to change your ability to a hidden ability. I realize among the 3 starters, Scorbunny is the most competitively viable Pokémon with its protean like hidden ability.

I also not end game yet, but I just heard breeding is easier than ever before. At least a lot more hassle free.
Unlimited part also I heard from someone, not sure how true is that lol. Just checking reddit Pokemon discord lol.
*
I’ve just reached the first gym.
I’ve only done breeding once.
A Scorbunny I got from surprise trade with a zigzagoon.
As of now, breeding doesn’t seem too different.

Will try to breed a hone edge later today.

I’m also looking for a good grass type.
Not sure if there are any I can catch now.
Was hoping to use serperior (contrarian) and breloom(technician)... but those 2 aren’t in the game anymore and I can’t find another grass Pokémon as good as them.

I've been using Grookey for grass. Good enough gor ingame battles lol

But I've read Appletun is pretty good. Don't know if it's true. Grass/dragon. Got ability that double berry effect, recycle, recover move.

Slow though.. 30 spd
*
Not a big fan of slow dragons, but I guess I’ll have a look.
They removed all the good dragons like dragonite, mega mence, charizard x and garchomp... so now rarely used dragons have a chance.

I stopped breeding ever since Fairy type is a thing.. love my dragon team, but now easily rekt by Togekiss lol

Especially against slower dragons. Togekiss can flinch your Pokémon nonstop haha.
I feel dragon types are quite badly nerfed this gen.
While strong fairy types like mimikyu and clefable is still around.

Yeah it's totally bullshit, and i was actually breeding quite a bunch of dragon time only to be killed by Togekiss, all 6 of them just by one Togekiss lol.
That's when I was like until they fix this shit, I won't bother.. because dragon team is my fav. Especially when there is a lot of pseudo legend that is mostly all dragon type.
*
Technically the new steel dragon Pokémon duradulon might work with the right investment. Or if they bring back Naganadel. But yeah... at the moment gotta have a poison or steel type to deal with fairies.

I only breeding for shiny with egg moves but slow down greatly when powersave ruin shiny economy. Here I am breeding for days if not week while some people just hack for shiny. Really spoil the mood lol. Then in Ultra SuMo there is that egg swap trick. I stopped breeding all together. Might get back in SwSh.

Damn. Been waiting half a day for it to rain in lake of outrage lol

Wow people already modded switch? Adding in cut Pokemon is pretty cool and prove it is doable. I feel the reasons for the cut is the combination of gf being rushed, lack 3D skills and why bother as people will buy it anyway.
*
When Pokémon home is released, there will be a sudden increase in shiny Pokémon.
I never really breed for shiny. As cool as that may be, it’s quite tedious. Though I still get quite excited to see any shiny Pokémon in the wild.
