Roni, Feb 25: haven't even played these games yet and i already know it's gotta be The Ball Guy.

Figure, Feb 25: Unless you have a light ball, it's cheeks.

Pokémon Sword and Shield have been well-received, but their writing has earned them a their fair share of criticism. Learn what the games did right in the way they handled their characters and discover the common theme that binds them together.
bobandbill, Feb 21: I said it during editing, but I certainly appreciated the highlight of how all these characters have some use of the theme of obsession, including between each other to various extents.

Valroxen, Feb 20: Oooooooooooo pretty neat, didn't know that :3

Nah, Feb 17: Both Mega Evolution and Z-moves do not exist in Sword & Shield

Fairy, Feb 14: First shiny was a random encounter Pangoro I stumbled into, lmao.

Hex Maniac Quinn, Feb 13: Alcremie CAAAAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEE Plus, I had an Alcremie on my team, AND I just picked up a shiny new one because of the Valentine's Max Raid Event. You have no idea how much joy it gave me to have both tea and pastries on my team.

Figure, Feb 13: For sure and don't get me wrong, I would prefer an online event but I understand that a struggling company needs to get people in the door and they can't wait forever regardeless of a pandemic. I do think it is a bit scummy but, sadly, par for the...

Catto, Feb 8: Interesting article! Specially the gigantic Toctricity near the bridge! =O I see Toxtricity's idea being implemented the same way as Mew or Celebi back in the day. Those pokémon both have places designed particularly to present a sensation of...

bobandbill, Feb 8: I'm less feeling it being a case of an underdog, and more an effect of two things: - Bad press is sometimes good press - all the noise about the failings of the game simply put the game in headlines, twitter trends multiple times, and so forth....

GamingPlus_3, Feb 7: It wasn't a trade but I did do alot of cooking and playing with it in camp. When I do friendship evolution I do more curry then play but I also did use alot of exp candys that u get from max raids

Sydian, Feb 6: i got sword bc i find zacian more aesthetically appealing but i plan on getting shield at some point. it's harder to get both on release day now since they're full priced home console games and not handhelds anymore.

Roni, Feb 1: i got a couple. Regieleki and Stonjourner were automatic faves for me. the former for its aesthetic, and the latter for how cool its name is. i also am a big fan of Runerigus, Falinks, Yamper, & Zacian Crowned Sword form. all just for aesthetics.

dAdABoNi, Feb 1: SWOSH, Thanks for that Shiny Mandibuzz raid! Found it randomly while surprise trading and was a pleasant surprise after a full day of chaining about 350 sneazles with no shiny to account for the hours. Randomly entered another raid by someone else...

FireintheSky, Jan 28: Cinderace has a good movepool, and with the Libero ability, it can certainly throw some opponents off on typing. It also has a good speed stat. Rillaboom with grassy surge is OP with grassy glide. Paired with grassy terrain, it becomes a priority...

Toastypk, Jan 24: I took a look at both of them, first Spectrier, then Glastrier, and I liked Spectrier's design more. Then I searched for their stats and again liked Spectrier's, so I picked him.

bobandbill, Jan 24: Essays are fine to share! Personally I've preferred SwSh to SM, and still enjoyed both overall - I've just preferred older titles more given more content, etc.

bobandbill, Jan 24: Nitpick - if DPPt remakes are happening this year as rumoured, then they've been largely developed anyway I think it'd be quite likely you can at least trade them to DP, not sure why they wouldn't let galar mons into same-gen games. Still room...

Valroxen, Jan 23: From the moment I saw Regieleki I feel in love with it, its just got such a happy cute little bounce it so adorable yet also just really cool. Regidrago is awesome too but idk there just something about that fantastic design combined with that...

colours, Jan 10: ask yourself these questions before purchasing the game to see if its purchase is really justifiable: does the dex cut bother me? how do i feel about the pokemon design of this region? how do i feel about the theme of this region being...

Morgnarok, Jan 3: I personally bought both Sword and Shield but separately due to getting them bundled with season passes. I always buy both versions no matter the difference between them. Collector reasons...

Toastypk, Jan 2: Sorry if this goes in a different board, it isn't really a trade, and I don't really know where else to post this. I love the Dynamax Adventures, and I love collecting the legendaries. But like in the regular games, you can only get certain...

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.

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.

Sandalphon, Dec 28: the boys are back in town https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqUSZDnWMAAy9Gs?format=jpg&name=large

bobandbill, Dec 26: Especially yes here. It's weird it shares the same one... I am reminded of this cool fan design of a G-Max form for Falinks.

Mercury, Dec 17: Yes, it's meant to be a collaborative thing. I don't expect this list to be that reliable now, over 45 days after it was shared. This particular image was shared a lot over Twitter/Instagram/Reddit/etc when the Crown Tundra DLC came out. Hope...

Alpha Snowdust, Dec 17: Thanks so much! She got Grookey and plans to choose Scorbunny for Shield, but she adores .

bobandbill, Dec 13: I wrote even more words about the SwSh music! What did you think of the music from the DLC?

Figure, Dec 9: Being a Seahawk fan I can't help but notice the NFC West reference, intentional or not haha. I didn't really care a whole lot until I watched a video on how the took most models from the 3DS games and put them into SW/SH with minor to no changes to...

Jetien, Dec 3: I'm not overly familiar with Apple products myself but if I'm not mistaken Error Code 0 is a storage issue. How old is your phone? It might be that the storage is going bad on your phone but a new update with HOME is the only app that triggers the...

Riddhwimaan Mukherjee, Dec 1: Okay thanks for your help.

Aisaka, Nov 25: Teddiursa deserves a new model. PC has spoken.

bobandbill, Nov 23: 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...

Nah, Nov 23: 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. ...

FrozenBeast9159, Nov 18: Thx for all the tips, will definitely help.

Louise28, Nov 15: wow that has gone really fast, I love this game so much, I love to shiny hunt and do max raid battles with people

Raicheot, Nov 14: 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...

RedBalloon, Nov 10: So I have this friend, and the only system she has is a Switch. She has so many games but none are Pokemon games. I only have four for the Switch but I also have two 3DS's and an N64. Anyway, recently, I offered to sell her my two non-Pokemon Switch...

_pheebs, Nov 9: PfVN1doP99A I found a video with more prototype things

Sydian, Nov 9: see this is what bugs me about these two. i don't hate the new regis but i'm having a difficult time warming up to the two bc the lore about the regi trio was already really good. they're my favorite trio so i suppose it's natural i would have...

GubberTheLasgnaChef, Nov 9: I mainly have been trying cutiefly, but i now want to move into the tundra.

PageEmperor, Nov 9: What it needs more than new moves is a better name.

ordDavid, Nov 6: Hello, I'm not too familiar with forums like this so I feel a little shy about asking. I really love vgc, but I'm honestly not a huge fan of dynamax. I wanna find a group that I can just play doubles battles with, without dynamaxing. I wouldn't be...

Kiertronik, Nov 3: I'm kind of thinking that the next games Gamefreak is going to put out is the gen 4 remakes, I might me wrong though.

ShyRayq, Nov 2: Yeah. Using the Ability Patch on the Galarian birds won't do anything.

Fritz, Nov 2: I found a Shiny Zekrom earlier, and after the first time I defeated a Zekrom in the Dynamax Adventures as well. Edit: Also just got a Shiny Trevenant while hunting for Rayquaza

Saиdmaи, Nov 2: Haven't gotten much time into it but I just started exploring. I don't know, it feels like a massive Wild Area with the focus on Dynamax Raid for legendaries. Would've loved some more in-game meat to sink my teeth in. I just can't wrap my head...
