Uecil, Apr 16: He's one of my favourites; I don't really see him as a rival. He feels too friendly and encouraging, I'm wondering if that's influenced by Leon's behaviour. Perhaps, that's why he's like that. All I know. I wish he'd stop doing whatever this...

Sheep, Apr 15: Agreed! ❤️ He’s a very caring character and I tend to naturally gravitate towards ones like that. His personality stands out in a way that other champions’ (most of them at least) don’t to me.

Trades4days, Apr 10: I recently found my second shiny Drakloak in the max lair. I maxed it out both Stat and IV wise so it's competitive ready. Since I already have one I would be willing to trade it for a decent shiny Pokémon. (has to be legit oc) If any of you are...

Sheep, Apr 9: I honestly don't see it happening. Feels to me like these two games will have their own Pokémon, so BDSP won't have all the mons available in SwSh and vice versa. I just hope we'll get Mareep somewhere at some point, would be really sad if it ends...

Megan, Apr 8: I picked Sword. I looked up the differences and realized that this version had a lot more exclusives, etc. that I'm interested in.

Devalue, Apr 8: Braviary from a Max Raid. Not bad.

Devalue, Apr 8: Corviknight. Pulls off the armored bird aesthetic well. Prefers it over Skarmory. Misses Skarmory's red pop, though. Would have liked similar on Corviknight.

ZeoStar, Mar 31: I like sending out my fighting type against other fighting types so I can pretend it's a duel. Not just for sword and shield, pretty much every pokemon game.

Nah, Mar 21: If it's obeying you in wild battles and trainer battles, it should obey you in other battles too. I'm not sure if I have this right, but the badge level usually affects Pokemon not caught or bred by the player, so that might be the explanation....

Sheep, Mar 19: I like them! Probably around a 7 for me? It has a lot of awesome mons like Scorbunny, Eldegoss, WOOLOO, Toxtricity, Snom, Yamper, the Hattena line, Indeedee, and others. <3

Sheep, Mar 13: Heyo! What raids have you been doing lately? I want to do more dynamax adventures but I've been soo distracted... ; ;

tenardie, Mar 4: Lucky you. I hope I will have one someday

ninestarryskies, Mar 3: Oh my gosh that's so cool, thank you for pointing this out!! I never realized!

Devalue, Mar 3: Route 8: Sees it right above the scientist when you first enter. Lake of Outrage (Wild Area section, west of Hammerlocke. Requires the ability to cross water): Look around the circle of stones. Finds every evolution stone there. Respawns...

TheWohaPolice, Mar 2: Oh thank you, that makes sense!

ninestarryskies, Mar 1: I have to go with Pikachu or Eevee, they're too dang cute! I love the concept of basically mega evolution but for a basic Pokemon instead of its evolved form!

Fritz, Feb 27: Gloria, she's my second favourite protagonist behind Dawn. Marnie is pretty cool as well, just wish she would have had more involvement in the main story. Didn't really care much for many other characters in the game.

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.

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

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.

Setsuna, 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...
