I've had a feeling for a while that the NS2 version would be the ideal way to go and held off on a NS1 pre-order. Also no early access for NS1 was a bummer too. I'll enjoy my PS5 copy and see how the NS2 version runs once it drops.
Fantasy Life i for PS5. I plan to get a switch version as well but I'm holding off for a potential NS2 version. The performance also looked a little rough from gameplay I've seen on that version.
I really enjoyed it and seeing so much support so early on is a good sign that 3rd party's were sold on the original switch and don't want to pass up an opportunity to get something on it's successor. The only real issue and it's a big one is the pricing of the games. The console price is exactly what I figured it would be.
I'm almost 300 hours in and still have parts of the depths and topside that I have yet to explore. This game took everything I loved about BoTW and improved on it tenfold. It is my GOTY
I like Raging Bolts official artwork but the in game model is not it. Also missed opportunity for Dipplin to be Dragon/Fairy since Fairy types tend to have a sweets motif.
Hisuian Goodra. The fire attacks would be neutral. The fairy and psychic attacks would be resisted. Hisuian Goodra also gets shell armor so it can't be crit on. It's got massive special defense stat and several good support moves like life dew and tearful look.
Annihilape might not be a good choice. Chesnaught has a base 122 physical defense and gets access to shadow claw and aerial ace. Add on that the raid bosses can just attack twice whenever.
Tinkaton has the well deserved #1 spot but it hurts to not see Quaxly even break top 50. I don't see the appeal of Meowscarada. I really don't like the eyes in that mask and the hands are weird. It also naruto runs in game.
I played PLA and enjoyed it and didn't play Xenoblade Chronicles 3 but watched streams and feel it should have won over PLA. I'm also saying that as someone who pretty much only plays Pokémon to shiny hunt and PLA is a great shiny hunting game.
If this is really happening I hope it's good. We already got a crap live action movie and what I've heard about the Netflix adaptation hasn't been encouraging. ATLA fans need a win.
Not really excited for yet another fire monster especially when the thunder variant was right there. Also chameleos has always been the most boring of the elder trio especially in master rank where it just spams the hide and reappear with the wide sweep poison attack non-stop. I hope this one is fun fight.
I didn't find it hard at all. I purchased it through Amazon with a gift card I got from work. They made it very clear in the product description on Amazon and in the subsequent email that was sent to me with the code after I purchased it.
Have they patched that bug yet where fish stop appearing on your island randomly when you have someone visiting? It kinda makes it pointless to invite friends to your island when it's raining for coelacanth.
Anyone saying it's good they are staying open as some weird sign of good will for their employees is a boot licker. My job is closing today and they are still going to pay the employees even the part-time employees at least through the next two weeks. They are not as established of a company as Gamestop but can still manage to do that.
My only issue is that I think the added Pokemon should just be a free update and not part of the expansion pass. The base game should have had 500 - 600 Pokemon initially and the excuses they gave for why it did not just don't hold up anymore. Also if I have to pay for Pokemon HOME that better come with Pokemon Bank as well because it makes no sense to have to pay for two separate storage and transfer services.
The game has flaws but I'm really enjoying it. As a shiny hunter that's where all my time is going to and now that we know there are different kind of shiny animations that just makes me more eager to hunt all the new Pokemon!

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Lands Another New Mega Evolution
I think it's a fun design. Not all mega evolutions end up being cool bad ass designs.

I'm really enjoying the Pokémon designs for the Paldea region so far. Cyclizar is kind of plain to me but no complaints about the others revealed.
Re: Bellibolt The Electric Frog Is The Newest Addition To Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
@Mauzuri Ceruledge and Armarouge are both part fire unless you meant pure fire.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Version 1.0.2 Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Right when I should be clocking out. Thank goodness I work from home.
Re: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remake Pre-Orders Include Shiny Zacian/Zamazenta Bonus In South Korea
Tying shinies to a pre-order bonus then shiny locking them in the game is scummy.
