Thoughts on Pokemon Sword and Shield?

Raicheot, Nov 2020: Wasn't a huge fan of it, too easy to level up and complete the game and dlc wasn't worth the money the wild area was the best part, it makes ultra sun and moon look better tho and maybe gen 9 will be even worst and make sword and shield look better...

Question about Sword and Shield

Nah, Nov 2020: The odds of any further updates coming to Sword & Shield are pretty much non-existent, given that a version of the game that comes pre-loaded with the DLC came out recently. They wouldn't do that if there were still more content updates coming. ...

What if Sword and Shield had a cheesy announcer like the Pokemon Stadium games?

bobandbill, Nov 2020: That was entertaining, and you delivered the Japanese lines with a lot of enthusiasm! I think it would have been cool to have that, at least as an option. The PBR announcer was a positive aspect imo. Rose being an announcer might be amusing...

How to catch???
