Galarian Weezing also brings to mind the image of an 1800s industrialist with the facial hair gas and the smokestack top hat. He just needs a monocle. His typing is cool too.


Murphiroth posted...
Oh and Intelleon is James Bond. Intel + chameleon + UK region + his Dex entries all imply he's kind of a spy type creature.
Once I am done with this game I think I am going to read all the enteries on Bulbapedia for the new Pokemon
All the name origins and what the design is based on

New Pokemon - Galarian Corsola - Nooo what have you done to Corsola. Why is it sad? Corsola is all about having a happy smile. This is like making Wooper cry!
With that said..I like this. A ghost Corsola is cool


The reason Galarian Corsola is sad is because it's a new kind of Corsola that resulted from the damaging effects that climate change has on coral.

New Pokemon - Hattrem - Hatenna's evolution decided to go into the full "cute" route


It still has one more evolution after Hattrem.

New (?) Pokemon - Indeedee - Not really new as I have seen it ever since the first Pokemon Center - but it's the first time I see it in battle. So it's isn't Galarian Audio uh...
And seeing it in the Pokedex - it's a single stage Pokemon. I hope it has a interesting ability at least


Indeedee being in every single Pokemon Center pretty much confirms that it is the Chansey/Audino of the Galar region. In the anime, this means that Nurse Joys in Galar will have Indeedee as their assistant.

New Pokemon - Galarian Rapidash - Hm...it looks just as expected from a evolution of Galarian Ponyta. No real surprises there

https://imgur.com/vUOUVnL
Impossible to see ahead, need to rely on the vibration of the Switch

That was super anti-fun. Every gym mission before this one was enjoyable..but this..not. I just wanted it to get over with

Gym Leader Fight 6 - Start!

https://imgur.com/kdT4b1r
New Pokemon - Frosmoth - I like the design, and watching it in the Pokedex it IS a evolution to Snom, so they really went with the Larvesta route. I have yet to check stats on this thing, but I hope it's as high as Volcarona

https://imgur.com/ZfOkr1Z
New Pokemon - Galarian Darmanitan - It's dumb. It has a snowball on it's head or something? ehh whatever

https://imgur.com/YzsLBjv
New Pokemon - Galarian Darmanitan Zen Form - This looks like a angry snowman and for some reason spit fire. Is it the first Ice/Fire Pokemon finally? I hope so

https://imgur.com/60m42Ch
https://imgur.com/6I6blRl
New Pokemon - Eiscue - A pengiun with a ice block for a head
Well we can all see why! when the ice block is gone he has this weird face that requires hiding. I think it protects from damage for the first time, kinda like Mimikyu, but worse

New Pokemon - Pincurchin - it reminds me a little of Pyukumuku, but it's a urchin, not a sea cucumber, so it's a different thing!

https://imgur.com/gnCJlEu
https://imgur.com/JOuIlag
Got the """Surf""" Bike!
At this point I am sure there are no more "HMs" or anything as the only thing I needed in the entire game was "Surf" and I finally got it. Besides the wild area and in this area, I don't remember a place I need to return to and use those bikes, but once I am done I will replay every route again and check out.

https://imgur.com/dvHKhSM
New Pokemon - Grapploct - what's interesting about it is that although it's found in the water, it's a pure Fighting Pokemon. Couldn't figure it out until I caught it

https://imgur.com/0ZTxvz8
I think you are confused..this isn't really the place for a summer vacation..

https://imgur.com/XT9E706
This got me thinking - where is the Beauty Trainer Class? are there no beautiful ladies in the UK or something? we need some eye candies! well there is the "Model" trainer class but they are...less my type

Is it possible? is it FINALLY the time for a Dark Gym Leader? no wonder he didn't show up together with the other gym leaders! they wanted to keep this a surprise!

https://imgur.com/lnqzleh
New Pokemon - Polteageist - The evolution of the tea cup Pokemon from before. This time can see it's face and legs

https://imgur.com/PgGPwMF
New Pokemon - Hatterene - Gardevoir, Lopunny, Lilligant, Tsareena - almost every gen since Gen 3 has some sort of a "waifu" Pokemon. I am not really sure the Internet will really dig Hatterene, but who knows..the Internet is weird. And according to Luster from a few posts ago, he believe it's going to get a tons of rule 34. I, personally, afraid to check

https://imgur.com/5Q7YjI7
New Pokemon - Clobbopus - found in the next route, after I encountered 203231 Grapploct(s). No reason to use this one, just catching it for a dex completion

https://imgur.com/DtYU6A6
And yet the Corsola of Alola are happy and healthy, and those of this region and ghost types and sad. At least we don't need to blame Mareanie for this

A bit of a shame that after finally getting a Dark Gym Leader, it feels like not a real gym leader as he doesn't use Dynamax at all. Battle was easy, Brick Break is broken

Dhelmise! honestly, people can keep saying how Maractus is the most forgettable Pokemon. But no, it's Dhelmise imo. Being very rare in SM to catch, and only being a member of one Elite Four member, and does not evolve. Dhelmise is just...there. So I am glad it is in the game!

A few days ago I asked what other Pokemon the Postman trainer class can have besides Delibird..I totally forgot about Pelipper! he also has Noctowl for some reason

New Pokemon - Mr Rime - at this point I am no longer surprised by new evolutions to Galarian forms. I just find it funny that now there is yet another Pokemon affected by the stupid name of having "Mr" in it's name. So yeah, we can have Female Mr Rime

https://imgur.com/CXeBS6K
New Pokemon - Galarian(?) Farfetch'd - I know Sirfetched is a thing but I had no idea Farfetch'd gets a galarian form as well. Well, I think it is a Farfetch'd..

Gen 6 doesn't really have a standout "waifu" Pokemon like the other generations (starting from Gen 3). 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.

First battle - Marnie! I like her battle theme so much. But the one here..less so.

https://imgur.com/ZS4JZdJ
Dynamax/Gigantamax?? Grimmsnarl - I am honestly not sure. It looks a little more..skinny, but otherwise looks the same

https://imgur.com/a1GGnmz
Second battle - Hop! honestly I got tiring of fighting him. Next time I replay the game I am going to count how many times we fought

https://imgur.com/0XrpmeL
Holy jesus christ ever after at least 10 battles he still comments on my super effective hits

https://imgur.com/PIdjoq6
Pincurchin in the final fight? really? is that the best you can do?

https://imgur.com/k9GZWaK
Dynamax Inteleon - I wonder why the starters didn't get a Gigantamax form? regardless, it died in one hit >_>

https://imgur.com/MV69eOO
I liked his reaction to losing. It looked genuine, like he was really disappointed

https://imgur.com/42DOTE8
Here comes the champion

https://imgur.com/eGmfgpB
I wish we would have a "renegade" option and say he was a total pushover

So the champion and the chairman are discussing something and she decided to stop me from..talking to them? yeah ok

I am not really sure I needed a boost to defeat two Pokemon..but at least it's unique battle experience, I guess

First Fight - Bede!
Whelp I totally forgot about him. I expected him to be the real rival Hop never been, but he just..went and disappeared. So he is back now, and is in love with fairy types for some reason

Dynamax Hatterene - Sorry Luster, but even a giant Hatterene is not doing it for me

Second Fight - Nessa

https://imgur.com/fdfxmbn
Gigantamax Drednaw - I actually had to check my previous images and see that in the first fight it was just a regular Dynamax Drednaw. I wonder why? they should have used Gigantamax Drednaw in the first fight, too

Third Fight - Allister

Fourth Fight - Raihan

https://imgur.com/FuHKtio
Finally! time to fight the champio....

https://imgur.com/lk4MAnw
Come on, really? this is the most buildup fight in the entire series and you just...cancel it? now? really? this is worse than when Team Rocket is doing it in the anime
No matter what comes later, I feel like they doing NOW is a terrible choice. Should have done it when we reached Wyndon or something
I want to fight the fucking champion

https://imgur.com/Pz25glK
New Pokemon - Orbeetle - I never used this family line in my game before but I caught one, and I am glad I never used them. It's all about defense for double battles and the like, a total support Pokemon. Not fit for the story mode, at all

New Pokemon - Eternatus - design is not just weird, it's super weird. One of the weirdest Pokemon designs ever. What is it supposed to be? just..what is it, even? I mean, it's a Pokemon..but what REALLY is IT? typing is Poison/Dragon which is one of the most requested type for a legendary..ever. So I am happy for people that wanted it

Can I just comment on how fantastic this battle was? when they pulled Ultra Necrozma off in USUM I thought they will never be able to surpass it. But they did. Sure it isn't challenging like it was, hell, it wasn't challenging. But it was epic, 4vs1 fight alongside two legendaries.

Champion - Leon - Fight!

https://imgur.com/hyuNYkb
This shit right here. This fucking Pokemon. No wonder Smogon considered Aegislash uber in Gen 7. The rest of Leon Pokemon are whatever but Aegislash can almost solo my entire team

https://imgur.com/YTD95nL
New Pokemon - Cinderace - The sad Scrobunny that was rejected by both me and Hop was raised quite well. It evolved into Cinderace which looks like it's supposed to be the mascot of a World Cup or something. With that said, the two mascot for the 2020 world cup should totally have been Pokemon..

https://imgur.com/NDn9mJj
I actually went ahead and evolved Koffing instead of catching a wild Weezing just to check if a normal Koffing indeed evolved to G Weezing
So why didn't they give Koffing a Galarian form as well...?

https://imgur.com/rXW6Gck
I didn't notice this before but wow what a welcome change! I am not sure how it was in Gen 7, but in Gen 6 leveling up against Blissey took HOURS because it showed you how a Pokemon grew up by one level every single time and you had to mash the A button 1002121 times

https://imgur.com/KOMDZqU
New Pokemon - Dragapult - Dragon Catapult? so turns out that the first stage of this Pokemon, that I said might be the most forgettable Pokemon this gen, evolves into what I believe to be the pseudo legendary of this gen (based on design, being on the Champion team, and the dex number)

https://imgur.com/5axFEv1
Gigantamax Charizard

https://imgur.com/UqwSnKw
Champion...defeated! I must say, it was a hard. Honestly hard. Aegislash killed my entire team. Cinderace and Charizard are also fire types which are a big problem for my grass starter
But the worst thing is the lack of E4 which means...I can't suicide on them and can't gain quick EXP and money
I had to grind in the wild area and it's not a solution for money either

Oh so that's it's gimmick! I am not sure if he catches something at the end of the turn or just after using dive
I mean, if it's just after dive...it's pretty bad
But I laughed seeing Pikachu thrown like that

Those are nice hairstyles..if I can't have them too I am going to throw my Switch and never play it again!

Flapple is a wyrm in an apple, and Appletun (the evo you got) is an apple pie dragon. Two of my faves from this gen.

And Hop is great, he has actual character development but I guess people just want generic asshole rivals so there's a lot of complaints about him.

Hop's development is so basic that I really cannot fathom people really calling it development.

Like, I get it. Pokemon is super shallow and is for the kiddies but if you call what Hop went through actual development and worthwhile then I don't know what to say.

Just because our expectations are so low when it comes to the characters and story for Pokemon doesn't mean that Hop getting a bit sad when Bede kicks the shit out of him is great development. I'm sorry.

He didn't just get a bit sad, he literally changes his entire team in the fight after that minus his starter due to his crisis of confidence, before coming to terms with the fact that he doesn't have to live in Leon's shadow.

I'm not saying he's great outside the realm of Pokemon, I'm saying in terms of ranking Pokemon rivals he's up there. You can say that's low expectations or whatever, I just don't see the point in comparing Pokemon characters to those in more developed games as they're pretty different. I'm sorry.

Hop was fine, he wasn't awful like Hau was
I just wish he wouldn't lose off-screen to anything that isn't the gym leaders (like he lost to Bede and the sword guy)

Anyway, thanks for reading/watching! it wasn't as active as I hoped it would be but it's ok
Main reason I do this is because I want to comment on small things that I can't do in a general discussion topic - and Murphiroth trivia is exactly the kind of posts I wanted to see
What Pokemon are based on, why they did what they did etc
I mean, I thought the Spikemuth gym mission was boring, but when he said it was a homage to old-school beat em up, it really made tons of sense and it was cool!

I still have stuff to do, of course-
Complete the Pokedex
Complete the Curry Dex
Get a 1 copy of every item (this might prove to be tough..thanks to TRs being a thing)
Get every trainer card
Get Hidden Ability of every new Pokemon (I have no idea how to do that even. Need to check Serebii)
Beat(?) the Battle Tower

And........I am totally undecided what to do with my Living Dex. I will transfer every one-time Pokemon (like those hard to get Vivillon forms, and Mythicals) to Home when it comes out and will make ANOTHER copy of every Pokemon I have so that they will stay in Gen 7 as well

Getting every TR isn't that bad. I think all of them are buyable with Watts so you can easily get the ones you don't from Raid drops.

No, he decides to be a Pokemon Professor (I mean..studies to be one)

Time to finish some loose ends

https://imgur.com/HJuRJHB
It took me soo much time to realize that Escape Rope is a key item now, as I never had to use it before. The caves and forests in this game are so linear and basic I really never had to use one before.

https://imgur.com/RYswNqb
Got myself a Charmander! the only Gen 1 starter in the game

https://imgur.com/96IoENu
One of my favorite parts in playing Pokemon mainline games is going back after I finished the game and look what I missed. Using HMs to pass through obstacles I couldn't before, seeing new areas, getting new items. So when I saw that there are new places to use the Water Bike (whatever name I came up with) it got me very excited. New places! new items! new dungeons with legendaries! wait..no. This never happened, sadly. There are only like 4 places in the entire game that you need to use the water bike for (besides that ice-water route you first get them) and even then it's just a basic river with a item at the end
I miss exploration. I miss going lost in a cave and then finding a Legendary Pokemon at the bottom of it. The last time it happened was on Gen 5...

https://imgur.com/JQuSF1W
Why would this move have a dedicated move learner? it's strong, yes, but why hide it like that?

Oh I totally forgot about finding the Mincinno. I just thought it isn't supposed to be in the city because the hint sucked. I did like the random person in the water, though

https://imgur.com/QyyrrCq
I finally got my hero's card!

https://imgur.com/6UbUSQl
Besides the Mincinno quest, this was the only other use of "Whistling" I have found in the game. Corvisquire is there in the background, and if you whistle it comes attacking. I wish there was more use for this

https://imgur.com/VWKr3vK
This is...a strange place to stand at for no reason, but thanks for the card I guess

https://imgur.com/NMuzTsB
Can I just say that the hint totally sucked? the only reason I figured it out was because I thought "Hey, it's a early town, they probably want to teach about the type chart, and go with Grass>Water>FIre" but the hint totally sucked

https://imgur.com/2ImRnUr
When he warned me this is going to be long I didn't expect the repeat of the unskippable credit scene...

The ghost girl disappeared. Sadly this is the only "spooky" part in this game. Previous games had much better "spooky" parts

https://imgur.com/ZTYsqe2
No idea why it's back. They removed so much items, so really no reason to bring back the Beast Ball if the Ultra Beasts are not in the game. Some people like using them to catch Pokemon as a challenge...so it doesn't hurt (as long as there is a way to get more of them..)

https://imgur.com/1gXVCtE
Yesss I remembered you! turns out it's Game Freak's Morimoto, the guy we could fight in Gen 5 and 7
He is supposed to be the strongest trainer in the game, but he was pretty underwhelming

https://imgur.com/F8pkU1w
New Pokemon - Stonjourner - A pokemon based on the Stonehenge, which of course they had to make one because it's one of the most famous UK locations. It won't be forgettable thanks to it's unique design, but making it a version exclusive, limiting it to the wild area and only appear in the party of a hidden trainer makes it pretty missable
I do remember that it was in Turffield photo booth, though

https://imgur.com/hV4fePO
I have yet to really hatch eggs so..I don't know how life used to be before getting the Oval Charm

https://imgur.com/x4SigHX
Turns out there were some trainers I missed in this route! (too much water)

Whelp. This looks ridiculous

Once again - I wish there were some "renegade" options. I want to turn him down! I don't want to shake your hand, fuck off

So this IS how Corviknight Taxi looks like in 3D

https://imgur.com/F1okrzc
I guess Type : Null will forever be given as a gift Pokemon. Why did they think this Pokemon "fit Galar" is beyond me

https://imgur.com/mqkbDMg
So I finally faced her for a rematch, expecting the 2nd stages of the starters. But no, they are fully evolved now. Which means I am locked out from seeing Scorbunny 2nd evolution in the Pokedex..until I get one in a trade

New Pokemon - Runerigus
Whoever thought of this evolution method needs to get fired..and fast
Going below a stone arch in the wild area is one thing. But needing to be missing 49+ HP makes this evolution totally depend on luck unless you look it up. I got it by luck thanksfully as I prefer to figure out things myself..but no hint for this? really? (I later found out that Farfetch'd evolution is even worse)

https://imgur.com/qzR2Idx
Oh yeah, I totally forgot I can get a special Meowth from Mystery Gift

https://imgur.com/5FZzaFZ
And also 12 Quick Balls..who cares about this, really?

https://imgur.com/xCY1zJC
Finally! I can start breeding! must say I am not a fan of them not giving this Pokemon to a trainer so you can't check where to catch one. Ditto is the most important Pokemon in this game (and any Pokemon game, really) so needing to look up where to catch one is dumb

https://imgur.com/3mvUJgl
When I said that Pikachu is barely in the game...I didn't realize just by how much! I battled a Pikachu only one time in the entire game? wow

https://imgur.com/D8i01tq
Finally found Cufant in the wild! turns out it's a wild area Pokemon and I could catch it early, but it's weather exclusive..

https://imgur.com/amQRUFq
I thought it was weird I never found a Moss Rock in the game. So now Eevee can evolve to Leafeon and Glaceon by using a Grass and Ice Stone. In the past they were afraid to do this because "it wouldn't make sense for Eevee to evolve by using methods he could have used in the past". Game Freak sure changed
Personally I don't like this change, I prefer the evolutions to be unique. But I am sure I am in the minority of this opinion

https://imgur.com/d1cqv7T
Finished listening to all his bullshit talk and got all the weather items

https://imgur.com/DPxC9LT
A better look at Appletun, now that I got one. Still dumb

https://imgur.com/yAN7ycY
This is the first time I learned it's possible to spin! I mean it was a thing in previous games as well, but I forgot about it
Also turns out this is how Milcery evolves...wow. The evolution methods in this game sure are something

https://imgur.com/KmDI0Ir
I liked this side-quest, it was cute. I feel like this game lacked more of those quests, USUM had plenty in comprasion

https://imgur.com/dTLbm23
Gigantamax Butterfree - So to get Gigantamax Pokemon I need to beat them in Max Raid Battles and then catch them? what's the big idea? Butterfree is a early game Pokemon, you mean that people that caught one could Gigantamax it because it requires a special one? I am not sure I like this idea

All in-game trades complete.
I hate how websites consider "Sawk" to be Sword exclusives when it clearly isn't. Being in a in-game trade still means it is obtainable. They just spread misinformation all the time
Also, thanks for K Meowth, K Mr Mime and regular Yamask. But what about the other Pokemon with G forms? how can I get a regular Ponyta or Weezing?

Getting ready to trade (almost) everything with a Sword friend

New Pokemon - Flapple - OK this one is COOL. I like how it's using the apple as it's wings

https://imgur.com/nW3WbjX
New Pokemon - Arctovish - I realized the fossil Pokemon of this gen are going to be weird. This one is also weird. But it does feel like the head fit the body...kinda..

https://imgur.com/8ZofAW1
New Pokemon - Dracozolt - This one is super messed up. Words can't even being to describe how much

https://imgur.com/Iza9wpZ
New Pokemon - Arctzozolt - Poor Pokemon, looks like it's suffering from being stock in a cold body. Cara Less is the true villain in this game
Also, it took me 60k wattz to get the needed items >_>

https://imgur.com/517bD8B
New Pokemon - Drakloak - After seeing Dreepy and Dragapult, Drakloak seems like the most logical middle evolution. Nothing really special about it

https://imgur.com/AcwClut
This one right here is the bane of my existence. Almost two hours to find this shit. No trainer in the entire game had Drampa. It is limited to a specific part in the wild area and specific weather. And only 2% chance. How can anyone figure out how and where to catch one without looking it up???????????

https://imgur.com/Fn5jocg
I don't like this, but I started using a money exploit. There isn't really any other good way to farm money and in my age I think I have better things to do rather than spend a week farming money by defeating the tournament. I also read that using Gigantamx Meowth is also a good way to earn money, but meh.

Purchased all TMs

https://imgur.com/wHwBRzS
I have been in this part of the Wild Area so many times and never found this TM without Googling it up. Hiding it behind a tree stump..

Farfetch'd is way easier to evolve than it sounds. They have a Leek 50% of the time in the wild, grab one, give it to your Farfetch'd, then go Rock Smash the Wobbuffets on Route 5. I got my Farfetch'd there and evolved it within like five minutes.

Runerigus is truly dumb though. Milcery is fine, you're spinning the cream to turn it into a whipped dessert, I think it's kind of funny.

I mean in terms of figuring it out by yourself.
And yeah it was easy, I fought a Pelipper that Roost'd himself all the time as I used Focus Energy + attacking

Fair enough, although if you get a Leek Far/Sirfetch'd crits sooooo much so you'd probably do it on accident. With Leaf Blade and a Leek I think there were maybe 4 or 5 times that move didn't crit throughout the entire game.

New Pokemon - Raboot - That's it. The last Gen 8 Pokemon I have yet to see. This is pretty...despressing, knowing that it's over and there won't be another new Pokemon for like..at least a year. I didn't check the datamine yet, maybe there are some mythicals hidden in the code, maybe not

Finally bought every single clothing item in the game. Those last few were fucking expensive

https://imgur.com/6C9HH8Q
Also got every single TR as well. The clothes + farming Wattz for TR took a long time even with the exploit. I can't imagine how much time it would have taken legally..
I actually went forward in time about 430 days, until February of 2021. Only then I had enough money to buy everything

I probably did like...99% of the stuff that can be spoiled in this game, so..I think it's time to finally lift off my media blackout
Time to check Serebii and make myself a "to do list" in order "fully complete" the game
Going page by page by order in Serebii site, one of the first things are the screenshots
And I just saw that Obstagoon was revealed in a trailer? seriously? I thought they did a good job this time not revealing tons of stuff, but god leave Obstagoon out of this. It was such a cool surprise and it blew my mind off when I saw it in-game

So last post as I wanted to share my goals

Buy every clothing item - Done
Get all clothes - Can't get the event clothes, and still need the clothes from "Ranked Battle" and "Master Ball Tier" in the battle tower
Buy at least 1 of every item from each shop - Done except for the BP shops..
Complete all in-game trades - Done
Catch all Gigantamax Pokemon - Only got Butterfree, Eevee and Meowth.. (Pikachu will stay unobtainable probably forever)
Get all Trainer Cards - Only missing Leon (Rare)
Get all Gift Pokemon - Only missing Pikachu
Get all TMs - Done
Get all TRs - Done
Complete Pokedex - Done
Get all League cards backgrounds and effects - Missing - Let's Go Pikachu background and frame, Curry background, Gigantamax background, Battle Tower Backgrounds
Curry Dex - Completed like...1%
Complete each Pokejob at least once - I only used a Pokejob one time so..
Get all new Pokemon with Hidden Abilities + Weezing - Yeah...I have done nothing yet
Item Dex - also a long way away from completing it. Most items missing are those from BP Shops
Living Dex - Need all sizes of Pumpkaboo, one more Sinistea (Antique), Type Null, Zacian...and 63 Alcremie forms

Yeah, this will take a while
I also wanted to say I really liked how they respected the player's time but seeing bullshit like Sinistea Antique and the 63 Alcremie forms I am not so sure anymore
I mean fuck, you can fight in 3 cafe one time per day and get 3 items per day, which means even if you get a evolution item for Milcery every single time, it would still take 21 days
But in reality you can have days without a single evolution item, and then you can also get more of the same item than you need (more than 8 of each one) so in reality we are looking at...3 months
Also waiting weeks to get the evolution item for Sinistea Antique. Seriously

Used the time travelling trick and after a month still no Chipped Pot. But got 5 Cracked Pot so at leadt those are not rare...
Who thought this was a good idea to limit a item behind a randomizer daily purchase??? at least if it was a rotation or something

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.


Up to 326 images on the same website. Hatterene has definitely started taking off during the past 2 weeks.
