I just got my first full-odds Shiny since Sun! An Espartha, who looks dope as hell.

Also randomly got Surprise Traded a shiny Scorbunny that I can't see anything wrong with, so I've bagged two shiny pokemon on Violet today, along with six Noibat from the Community Day on Pokemon Go :P

So with my tax refund after getting new tires on my car, I think I’m going to pick up a switch and one of the new Pokémon games. I imagine they’re mostly the same but do the majority here have one where the other makes sense to be a helpful member of the community?

I'd say go for Sword/Shield for the more linear story like the older games, or go Scarlet/Violet for a more open-world playthrough which may be marred by glitchy hilarity. Both still have regular player bases and you can interact with them. Sword/Shield also has some fun buyable DLC.

I'd say avoid Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl unless you purely want a nostalgia fix (which they might not achieve).

If you're open to something unusual, I recommend Arceus Legends. Hit my nostalgia buttons and felt open, fun and a little bit dare I say, fresh. This one is very non-community oriented though. The inventory system sucks massive Ultra Balls though.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah, I came here to say I just learned that the word "Nuzlocke" is a Lost reference.

To be honest, I’m probably going scarlet/violet to get a dachsbun. Maybe which I get doesn’t matter so much being this late to the party. But if most have scarlet then violet makes the most sense, and vice versa.

My daughter, who cut her teeth on the 3DS games, preferred Arceus over SwSh and SV. I would personally recommend ShSw with DLC.
