The last topic we had for Sword/Shield discussion was Part 4, which ended up purging from the board a while back.

The Crown Tundra DLC will be released at some point on October 23rd in Japan, which may happen on the night of October 22nd for those in the US or possibly even earlier than that.

As usual, Serebii will be covering the contents of the DLC on his website when it's out - https://www.serebii.net/

There have been some leaks of the DLC showing new Pokemon and forms, but I won't be posting them here.

Gamefreak seems to have decided the best way to balance the legend duos is to give one a great stat distribution but a shit movepool, and one a shit stat distribution but a great movepool

The issue with that is that a few gens down the line both will probably have a great movepool, but crappy stat distribution for the most part remains crappy.

NGL I thought dynamax adventures were gonna suck ass, but since they ditched shields, they go by a lot faster than I was expecting.

Be sure to catch all during the adventures and check their summaries; it seems that the opponents do not appear shiny in the battle itself, only afterwards.

Also apparently you can only KEEP each legendary once. Still be sure to catch it after the battle, but you only can KEEP it once.

After the mess that was VGC back in Gen 7, it seems like Game Freak has chosen to be much more cautious with the movepool they give to new Pokemon, at least during the generation they are introduced. They are introducing new Pokemon with bad movepools initially so later generations can expand their movepool to be much better.

Finally started it
So uh is this the first time a Pokemon talks in the games? via telepathy or otherwise (not including that Murkrow that gives password)
Also what the fuck Fossil Pokemon roaming the place, so much for being extinct
The scienetists in the Pokemon world really are dumb

Edit - Oh wait I forgot Rotom lmao

You know how I used to complain about the maps being much more linear in SwSh
Well they tried to fix this by making the caves more...maze like

And well...this sucks. Because it looks and feels so boring. Every area looks the same, there are no real secrets to find, the best rewards are just TRs and there no Legendary Pokemon hiding in those places (well, at least not from what I found..)
So what's the point
Boring

That's been pretty much every Pokemon "dungeon" ever with rare exception but people insisted they wanted them back and now they have them back so *shrug*

There have been people literally proclaiming Rock Tunnel is better than Sword/Shield in its entirety

Anybody that wants more Rock Tunnel shouldn't be listened to

And man... everything that remains is so time consuming
Dynamax Adventures takes so much time and there are so many legendaries to catch there
And I am not sure what I would get in trying the Star Tournament again, I should look it up

They've gotten an awful lot wrong with this gen of Pokemon

but being able to battle people online with my Garchomp that I bred from Diamond back in 2007 is definitely something they got right.

Are you saying that the game isn't letting you use your Garchomp online in the game? The game does have hack checks in place to prevent hacked or edited Pokemon from being used online if there's something about them that shouldn't be possible normally.

Actually
Double checked this again, and Payapa Berry is NOT new
So..this got me thinking..did I make a mistake? did my complete itemdex was incomplete all this time and I made a stupid mistake?
No, this can't be

So I googled this
And yeah, FUCK JOE
I hate how he pretends to have complete and correct information but his website is so full of errors and it's a completionist nightmare to rely on it
Sadly Bulbapedia is even worse ever since SM and I don't even check there

I still refuse to use Serebii's site for any information due to a 14 year old grudge. Don't underestimate my pettiness. Back in the day I recall trying to convince him that Azurill wasn't a Water type and that "Kaburiasu" was wrong but I was just wasting my time.

Oh wow, someone that understands me! this is making me happy
I don't know who "Kaburiasu" is, never heard about this name
And sadly I don't think it's possible to find any traces of the Azurill mistake anymore, but I believe you. Unfortunately now you are the only one that knows what happened back then

Garchomp's Japanese name is which can be romanized as Gaburiasu. Either around the time of the Japanese release of DP or a bit earlier, he incorrectly had it written as "Kaburiasu" or something similar since I don't recall the exact romanization scheme used anymore but starting with "K" was definitely wrong. It was an easy mistake to make but he could not be convinced to fix it.

So let me get this straight -
You can get Cosmog as a gift
If you are playing Sword, and you evolve Cosmoem, you get Solgaleo
In the Dynamax Adventures, you can also encounter Solgaleo, but Lunala is exclusive to Shield

So uh I can get two of them? sounds weird...well it's better for trading, I guess

Saw some people complain about raid Zygarde being a complete pain in the ass, even with human partners

I actually managed to beat it first try with a Pokemon that is weak against it - Blaziken, with AI teammates
Not bragging, as it probably was more luck than skill (it never used the AOE attack, and instead used Bind..which missed twice)
If this is the worst the Dynamax Adventures has to offer..then I am good, I hope
