I heard that:
- No National PokeDex
- “Interesting” Animation Move in battle
- climb ladder activate TIME STOP PLAY
- etc

How was the experience Pokemon Sword and Shield so far? anything within the game excited you? compare to Pokemon Let's go Pikachu or Eevee, which have better experience?

its decent...

I still stuck at gen 1-3, but still i bought it....overall is good but can't some of those 8th gen pokemon design.....too ugly liao....

on sword. going to 4th gym... was okay on graphic.. since last played was till crystal... then play ruby and black...

currently my 6 pokemons... 1 is the rabbit. other 5 is first gen pkm. lol

Sudah endgame.

Better than Let's Go IMO.

At Circhester now - about > 20 hours played so far since day 1. Could be faster but spent a lot of time at Wild Area and levelling up. This time even easier to level up the team with the always-on EXP share and also those exp candies you get whenever you join raids.

I even signed up for NS Online Family plan cos I truly wanted to join the trades... I managed to get the other 2 starters this way + one Dreepy... Waiting to level it up to Level 60 for it's final evolution.

Other than that, game is quite nostalgic especially the music in the Pokemon Center. The OST in some towns are quite good too - I quite like the soundtrack whenever I enter Turffield.

i can only say the gen1-3 pokemon memory is still very strong in my mind, so far just felt the design not very nice, gameplay still ok, storyline still ok

got a lot of girls play or not? I know hirano is playing.. but she is married.

only have 3 badges and cant catch the snorlax at wild area cz he lvl 36... i can only catch pkm up to level 35... so need to go hit the sand gym first.. then fly bak wild area to catch.. :/

Wild area and raid are addictive

completed the game after 97 hours.. completed the galar pokedex and also my first ever live-dex!

from my POV who is not a competitive player, i think this is one of the best pokemon game that i played, after gold/silver (i played the game since 2000 and only missing black/white version). the wild area is massive and i get all sort of excitement watching pokemons roaming freely in the overworld. also got super excited watching the likes of machamp, gengar and steelix just doing their own business in the wild!

totally worth the money!

every now and then need to go back to wild area? i go back 2nd time dy after the fire gym... cant catch my snorlax... level 36 :/

Was fun while it lasted, sorta too easy since all exp are share among pokemons.

back to AC:O to get my platinum.

I see. Slowly slowly.

I noticed catching Pokemon in this version is much easier. Maybe the catching rates % is this game is more lenient?

And the moment I realised I could spend my Watts on Quick Balls...

Too bad it's on rotation so the same guy doesn't sell the Quick Balls whenever I return to that particular location.

Machem mmorpg. Vast grass land with many portal to connect online players.

At higher levels and fully evolved pokemon, quick ball will fail.
The percentage is probably really high, >90% for each catch check till level 45+ Pokémon’s.

Just got my 8th badge yesterday.
Planning to beat the game later tonight.
For challenge I usually only bring 1 or 2 Pokémon’s and don’t dynamax in gym battles.

yes...after finish the game can go raid for gigatanmax pokemon...super hard to catch

I’ve completed Gen1,2,3,6,and 7 with completed Pokédex for Gen1 and 7.
Sword and shield is 8/10 before post game. It’s pretty good compared to the other gens.
Once I reach the post game, I might change the rating again.

Ah I see. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I try my luck to throw QBs first hoping I would be lucky.

Anyways, currently have an Eldegoss in my party with Sing so I tend to use her [or him maybe] to whittle down the HP and use sing to increase my odds of catching it.

Btw, any tips for which ball is best for raids? I have failed thrice to catch Centiskorch... 1st time Pokeball, 2nd Great, 3rd Ultra... Still fail.

Aisehman.

you will need to return to the wild area quite often because:
- the level of pokemon that you can capture is being limited by the number of gym badges that you own
- different weather will cause different pokemon to appear
- wild area is your main source of exp for your team and for advance players, this will be the source for EV train (the hard way).
