| Topic | is gardevoir a furry? |
| LusterSoldier 12/02/19 4:10:10 AM #14 | Gardevoir is definitely not a furry. It's a humanoid that's not based on any kind of animal (excluding humans). The only Pokemon that can be classified as a furry are those based on animals. On the same note, Hatterene would not qualify as a furry either and that's a new Gen 8 Pokemon which is being heavily compared to Gardevoir due to similar body type and even sharing Gardevoir's exact type combo. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

| LusterSoldier 11/30/19 7:34:46 PM #32 | Total number of attempts required to obtain each badge during this TPP playthrough: http://thatswhatyouget.github.io/tpp-progress/run-status.html The Pokedex status is very out of date (they've caught 209 Pokemon as of right now). There's also no information regarding the number of attempts required to beat Leon. SaveEstelle posted... Not surprised Leon took several tries. Hes the one fight thats genuinely challenging, but he really makes up for lost time. Hardest Champion in ages IMO. I mean, I beat him in one try, and I reckon most long-time fans did/will, but I appreciated the bump. Leon does have Aegislash on his team, which certainly doesn't help matters here. It was an Uber in Smogon's singles metagame back in Gen 6 and 7. Even with the nerf, Aegislash is still pretty dangerous. Nanis seemed to agree in this post he made: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78162219/930734806 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

| LusterSoldier 11/29/19 6:57:30 PM #27 | They completed the Eternatus raid battle on their first attempt. As for the battle against Leon later on (for the champion title), I didn't keep track how many attempts it took to beat it, but it was definitely more than 3. The final Hall of Fame team that beat Leon - Golurk, Eternatus, Hatterene, Flapple, Mew, and Obstagoon Since then, they've been doing some post game stuff. I saw them doing the Battle Tower, along with some online battles against other people. Online trades also happened as well. Apparently, Grookey got traded away for a Rookidee LOL. The playthrough of this game will end in 2 days from now. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

I can provide you with a Tart Apple if you have Shield version and still need to get a Flapple for your Pokedex. For the trade, we will do an Applin for Applin trade (this is to prove your identity when trading) and your Applin will need to have the Sweet Apple as a held item.

Luckily it was less than the previous games. The story is a lot more toned down from previous games. It's actually the least story-focused game so far, which should please the fans that want as little story as possible. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

| LusterSoldier 11/28/19 12:49:07 AM #45 | SaveEstelle posted... Again, Sword and Shield do not hold a candle to the golden age overall. And the story is a tremendous step down from Gen 7, which actually gave a fuck again after the lack of fucks in Gen 6. It feels like a lot of people don't seem to care much about the story in the mainline Pokemon games. It's starting to become like the Mario platformers in that regard - you don't play Mario for the story (what little it has), it's all about the gameplay for Mario platformers. With the mainline Pokemon games, people seem to play those for the gameplay, exploring a new region, or trying out the new Pokemon introduced. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

At least they're out of Poke Balls, so the risk of getting boxed for another Pokemon is greatly reduced for now. Even then, it's in the 3rd slot of the party, which makes it much harder to be selected to get sent to a box when a new Pokemon is caught and added to the party. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

| LusterSoldier 11/25/19 9:50:30 PM #311 | UltimaterializerX posted... This site went full leftist and drove off well over 95% of its traffic. There is no coming back from that. This site was always leftist. Just look at some of these past polls: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2936- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3435- Both of those polls took place during the height of our greatest vote totals (2006-2010) and the 2 liberal options outperformed the 2 conservative options. Though keep in mind that "Moderate" was still the most popular option in both polls. Typically, people end up becoming more conservative as they get older. It would be interesting to see if this trend also applies to this site's users, as our average age continues to increase. Unless of course our voting pool somehow dries up completely before that can happen or the PotD feature has been discontinued. Cause it's going to take at least 20 years before we see any kind of notable shift in the political spectrum of the site's users, if it even happens. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

That is the risk you take by choosing the buy the first games of a new generation (which are usually barebones), over the improved third version/sequels. And with the games being $60 instead of $40, there's a stronger reason to skip the first games of a new generation and just get the third version/sequels instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

Nessa was finally beaten on their second attempt. The chat's reaction to Nessa wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. In the past, there would be comments like "Let's milk Misty" (or another character in Misty's spot) and other sexually suggestive comments about any kind of waifu type character. For Nessa, there wasn't a huge number of those kind of comments about Nessa (though they did exist). At least one person referred to Nessa as "Galarian Misty". If they were playing Shield instead, they could have battled Melony (who would have gotten tons of sexually suggestive comments in the chat). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

The closest thing to a "waifu" Pokemon for Gen 6 would either be Florges or Diancie. As for Hatterene's current rule 34 status - it currently has 102 images on one rule 34 website that I visit sometimes. Keeping in mind that around half of these images were made prior to the game's official release when we only knew about it from the leaks. I think the rule 34 for Hatterene will begin to pick up steam later on when more people get done with playing Sword/Shield. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

Lack of touch controls is bad for those playing on Switch Lite as they are still limited to using button inputs like the rest of us. Game Freak would have known about the upcoming release of Switch Lite well before the official reveal, which would have given them plenty of time to include touch controls before the game's release. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

If the SD Card is formatted as FAT32, there is no longer any issue with possible SD Card corruption from Sword/Shield's auto-save feature.

This ended up changing as a result of the final evolutions, which helped firmly place Popplio ahead of Rowlet for me.

| Topic | Pokemon Sword/Shield Review Zone |
| LusterSoldier 11/13/19 11:18:21 PM #108 | Currently at an 81 Metacritic Score after 19 reviews. The score being this low already is bad news once the smaller reviewers come into play, or those who didn't get a review copy from Nintendo. At this point, the reviews are skewed towards the big boys, who are more likely to be paid off to give the game a good review score. Pokemon Sun/Moon had an 87 Metacritic Score overall, so Sword/Shield is already well behind that mark so far. mnkboy907 posted... This seems like such a low review count for such a high profile game. I wonder if a lot of publications are waiting until Friday since there's still an embargo in place on what they can say. It's only low due to Nintendo stopping distribution of new review copies after the leaks started happening. So the only reviews so far are from those who were part of the first wave of review copies. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
