I can't believe Danni went from one of the least threatening winners in the game to being the third one voted out.

I think a pretty good example highlighting the difference between SwSh and older games is looking at the climactic dungeon. Compare exploring Team Rocket/Aqua/Magma's hideouts, climbing Goldenrod Tower or Mt. Coronet to the tower in this game. You ride a single elevator up the tower while unable to move your character and do three battles and boom, you've reached the end.

Can anyone trade me a Mawile and/or Zacian so I can complete my dex? I only need the entries so I can trade them right back. I can trade almost anything in return

As someone who hasn't watched any of these shows since Arrow season 5 and Flash season 3, what would be the biggest change that would surprise me if I just randomly started tuning in now? Feel free to spoil.

Ayy I've got boxes full of Dreepy and Sobble and their eggs, message me if you want any

Quick question:

Seven pre-merge boots this season. Does anyone have strong emotions towards ANY of them? Vince is okay, but he pretty much stands alone for me.

Jason was my winner pick because I was expected a Nick from DvG like redemption arc, lol

My (perhaps too optimistic) prediction is that next year's Sinnoh remakes will bring back 150-200 to the gen, and then the gen 8 sequels/gen 9 will bring the rest, and they'll use an "everybody's here" Smash Ultimate-tier marketing campaign to sell it as a must-buy

Cant wait until this board has the gen 8 Pokmon ranking so I can put Chewtle in last

Which version is Flapple in?

Leaker saying Post Game has a second episode thats at least 2 hours long

Where?

Apple dragon might be a 3-stage, there's still a blank spot between it and Espurr.

I think it has to be given where its giant form is placed alphabetically in the guide book.

I know it's a kneejerk reaction but I'm calling this the best new dex since Hoenn

Flappin must be the Apple Gigantamax form we saw. It must have a third evolution that begins with 'A' because it's between Alcremie and Butterfree in the guidebook, which goes by alphabetical order.

Leaker said the Hatterene line is coming next and there's a Pokemon called Toxel. Probably the purple electric/poison guy

Mareanies won

I'm glad we can access our PC at any time like Let's Go, because I'm going to have a hard time narrowing it down to only 6 members for my team. I'll probably have a revolving roster of 8-10

Impidimp line is the easy best of the gen for me imo

Man I hate to be that guy but this trio of starters is truly awful
I feel like people say that every single gen but I mean... wow

That Garbodor may be my favorite design of the gen

And now we have two new Dynamax forms

Galarian Meowth would be an amazing Pokemon if it was unrelated to Meowth

Just found the leaker's twitter. Rillaboom (final Grookey) is real, but they haven't posted any images of Intelleon yet. There's hope it's fake.

Yikes. Might have to jump to #GrookeyGang

I'd definitely bet money they're real

Noura gave the single best episode performance in Survivor history

70% chance I pick Sobble, 25% chance I pick Scorbunny, 5% chance I pick Grookey

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

Obviously gen 1 was an amazing start for the series and most people like me like it

But this is three straight reveals in a row that have shown NOTHING but new forms for Kanto Pokemon

(And Impidimp)

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

I expected nothing yet I'm still disappointed

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

I spent one hour at a park and only encountered one shiny Trapinch, then went to another much more populated park and encountered 7 more within just over an hour.

Noura is this season's trainwreck and I love it

Yeah, we've been talking about it in the Sirfetch'd reveal topic, but doesn't hurt to make a new topic for it.

Oh, oops!

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

Basically, someone discovered that Pokemon are assigned codes on the Japanese Dynamax Picture site. The coding refers to the Pokemon as a codeword then a number for what stage of the line the Pokemon is. Obviously this contains (probable) spoilers for the game.

- Scorbunny: Usagi1
- Sobble: Chameleon1
- Grookey: Gorilla1
- Yamper: Inu1
- Rolycoly: Sekitan1
- Wooloo: Wool1
- Corviknight: Gcommondori3
- Alcremie: Gcream2
- Morpeko: Pospika
- Polteageist: Teacup2
- Gigantamax Drednaw: Gkame2
- Duraludon: Haganedoragon
- Gossifleur: Touwata1

So assuming these are accurate, we now know:

- Grookey indeed evolves into a Gorilla, further confirming the leaks (not that it needs further proof to be believable)
- Yamper, Wooloo and Rolycoly are all getting evolutions.
- Alcremie, Polteageist and Drednaw all have unrevealed prevos.
- Corviknight is the third stage in its line and is confirmed to be the regional bird.
- Morpeko doesn't evolve, to the surprise of no one.
- Duraludon doesn't evolve, meaning it is not the pseudo of the gen as some have speculated.

Since Christmas is a big deal in the UK maybe a new form of Delibird that leans even more into the Santa Claus theme (bigger hat and belly perhaps)

Gen 7 is Sun and Moon dude lol

Some people don't want to remember how bad those games were though

With Gen 8 being an option... is this about the Pokemon themselves or the games? Because I have very different answers depending on that.

There's so much wrong with this post
Thinking SM are bad, thinking SM are worse than LGPE...
Just a modicum of bad taste all around

From my play experience it was very clear Gamefreak put a lot more effort into Let's Go than any of the Alola games.
Not saying Let's Go were great but they were definitely the best of the gen for me.

I don't think anyone expected Zigzagoon of all things to get the first cross-gen evolution since Sylveon

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

Oh my god Giant Alcremie is the largest Pokemon ever

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

Lol I was thinking about starting a living dex entirely from scratch in Sword and Shield guess that's not happening
---

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

GameXplain just put up a new video analyzing the towns and Wild Area. They discover there's at least one town that isn't shown on the map (a train station actually has a Pokecenter and multiple buildings next to it that aren't on the map) and the Wild Area appears to be deceptively large.

Wooloo I mean the evolution better be cool cause my man is a plain ass sheep

Predicting it will be this gen's Lopunny unfortunately

Corviknight is an amazing name and design, that is all

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

I stopped playing the game about 9 days after buying it but honestly props to the game for still releasing new content 11 months after it released. I just wish it had more of that content when it actually launched.

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

I don't think I could have imagined the finale possibly going worse than it did

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

The gen 4 drip feed of new Pokemon has really killed all hype with how rare Sinnoh stones are and how rare the Pokemon are in the wild
