  1. Saves are stored on the console directly, so it ended up not mattering fortunately. Redownloaded Pokemon last night and everything is as it should be! @The Kraig I've Stonjourner and Flapple and Arctozolt. I'll give Arctozolt a Fossilized Dino, and you can easily find a Fossilized Fish in Shield (go to the two diggers by the nursery in the Wild Area and pay them and eventually you'll dig one up) to combine with that to get Arctovish. And then I'll briefly send Zacian to visit. Lemme know when you're ready!
  2. I've got full dex and nothing to do so I'll take anything including squirrels and junk, doesn't make any difference to me.
  3. I don't know if I have another Flapple apple or not, but I think I have the fossils you need and can definitely breed you a Stonjourner. Only giving up Zacian for a Zamazenta but I'll trade and trade back so you have it in the dex if you want!
  4. Anything you need, I've got the complete dex and can trade if you want!
  5. This is the exact same thing as in the US, every goddamn week they guess like Jamie Foxx or Beyonce and then it's like "Boyd Gruthers from the obscure mid-00's sitcom Fudchump Point"
  6. My crowning Civilization achievement: getting these crabs.
  7. There's somewhere in the game where you can trade a Galar Meowth for a Kanto one and you can get a Persian that way. Persian is in the dex so you actually do need to do this.
  8. I bought them anyway because it turns out I like being able to play as the Maori on a system where the game actually runs okay more than I like having money.
  9. There are elements of this new one (fixed high-level Pokemon in the Wild Area, Dynamax raids, some of the gym leaders like Raihan especially employing unusual strategies with weather), but really the challenge of Pokemon has never been that it's actually hard, it's that it's a grind. "Difficult" and "time-consuming" are not synonymous but for some reason people often convince themselves they are with regards to video games, I guess to feel like they're playing a challenging game instead of a game where you send a bee in a scarf to fight a four-armed wrestler who crumbles before the power of the fey. And yes @RPS is right fairy is Best Type. EDIT: TURNS OUT I'M NOT FINISHED RANTING~! There is a part of a Pokemon game that is legitimately challenging, and it comes when the game is over, when you've beaten the game and have shit to do like Battle Tower, and the QoL improvements and level candy and all of that... make this part better, too! I was able to get a newly hatched shiny Ribombee from level 1 to 100 in about an hour, maybe less than that, by bringing it along in battles and then stuffing its face with experience candy. It's easier to shape the natures of your Pokemon, their abilities, their stats, everything that you use to play the hard part of the game (Battle Tower, competitive play, etc.). So all of these quality of life improvements that take the grind out of the game and make it easy to bring the pokemon you want up to speed... are also quality of life improvements in the part of the game that is difficult, if that's your thing!
  10. love to troll dynamax ditto
  11. Stop disrespecting my wormy son you coward. (Also one thing you could do with the Beast Ball if you care enough is to catch something low-level with it and then breed it because I'm 99% sure bred Pokemon use the same ball as their parent. I dunno what'd be an actually good pokemon this way though, Corviknight maybe?)
  12. Type: Null was a scientific experiment from Sun/Moon that was meant to help stop the Ultra Beasts (invading alien things) but was considered a failure because it couldn't do the "use any type" thing they build it for. (The trick is it evolves by friendship and once you do that it can equip one of the memories and use any type) Beast Balls were used in Sun/Moon to catch the Ultra Beasts, but the Ultra Beasts aren't in Sword/Shield so I dunno why you get one other than it's a gag.
  13. Okay I have a complete dex now so if there's anything y'all want I can fire that shit up
  14. He is a starter. The starters represent a fully realized twink/himbo/bear trifecta. It's remarkable.
  15. It's a fun game, it's gorgeous, the quality of life improvements in it make it super easy to get into, doing Dynamax raids online is fun, it features this gorilla: You actually don't need a friend code to trade, just a four-digit link code when we're ready to trade. Again, quality of life improvements!
  16. HEY YOU DO YOU HAVE POKEMON SHIELD FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH VIDEO GAME CONSOLE WOULD YOU MAYBE LIKE SOME SWORD EXCLUSIVES BECAUSE I AM LOOKING FOR THESE POKEMON AND WANT TO DO SOME TRADES THANK YOU
  17. The expansion packs are fifty bucks.
  18. What are you even on about, Great American is super nice. The highest level of seats are kinda ass to get in and out of but that's true of literally every stadium I've ever been to.
  19. I dunno what people are liking about the gyms, honestly nothing makes my teeth grit more than "a very basic maze puzzle with switch doors, but with Pokemon battles." I dunno if the Ice gym was the same as the Rock one but slow-stepping through the pit maze was excruciating. On the contrary I liked what they did with Raihan's gym, contending with the weather in different ways was an interesting challenge. Pokemon isn't exactly robust but there are ways to play with the battle mechanics to provide unique challenges. Ultra Sun/Moon was great at this--Gladion had his Zoroark, Guzma had a Golisopod with Emergency Exit who'd bail and automatically bring in a good special attacker with Intimidate if you didn't one-hit kill it, stuff like that. That's much more fun to me than "step on every floor tile exactly once or else fight seven consecutive identical Pelippers."
  20. I'm surprised at how quick it feels given how they've adjusted things like leveling and tutorials. It's a lot of fun! Like, after seeing X/Y doing a lot of the same dumb bullshit that was stale back in gen 1 it's nice to see the last few games have gone for genuine quality of life improvements (no HMs isn't new but stuff like the move reminder in every center, seeing mons in the field, easing up on the grind, all very nice). It's impressive how they took the best stuff from Let's Go and incorporated into an actual by god for real main series Pokemon game. To wit: I was running a team of five (Rillaboom, Sirfetch'd, Rapidash, Cursola, and Toxtricity) with the sixth slot kinda cycling depending on what I needed. Lo and behold, a raid battle gives me Deino, who has the coverage I need and doesn't overlap as far as typing goes. And look, I know people think that Pokemon games are easy now, but they were always easy--the "difficulty" was in the grind. This generation is smoothing out the grind so much. I basically did a few raid battles, got a few more mons that I wanted, and on Exp Candy and Rare Candy alone I was able to get Deino up to Hydreigon without having to slog my way through her first two shitty forms. I did a game once where I lugged that fucking thing around from level 1 and I learned to hate Deino and Zweillous so goddamn much. Being able to skip right to the good stuff is an excellent improvement. Really, a lot of it makes me feel like... I wanna see what they do next? This builds so much on the last two games (Sun/Moon and Let's Go) just like Sun/Moon built so much off of moldy HM-filled Gen 6. This is genuinely exciting!
  21. A literal Paul Jones Army.
  22. Very cool of Edge but also, geez, the state of this.
  23. "WWE stars react to the server at Applebee's refusing to take their coupon even though it's only been expired for three days"
