Pokemon Sword & Shield sales figures

chocomiru, Jan 17: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! I didn't mean to imply that maybe the sales numbers meant their criticisms weren't valid. ☹️

What's your favorite gigantamax?

chocomiru, Jan 15: I like Gyarados, because you can use Bounce to get a speed boost and if it KOs you can get a Moxie boost as well. Then it's a sweep. ☺️

Anyone doing a Dynamax Adventure with Latias?

Most ridiculous looking gigantamax starter

CelloX, Jan 1: Gigantamax kingler is just bizarre to me. I keep forgetting it even exists, and isn't it basically based on a crab dish? Edit: Oops. misread. I think Cinderace's fire ball is just plain odd.

Regieleki or Regidrago?

CelloX, Jan 1: I actually like Regidrago more, probably because of its color and its signature move. I will admit, it is a weird pokemon though.

How to catch???

Nah, Dec 29: Those are definitely Frosmoth. If they're too far to whistle and never come close enough to whistle, then they might just be part of the environment and not encounterable ones.
