While I did enjoy the Grand Magic Games Arc, it really was just a fighting tournament so I think they are going to do a brawling centric game which is a let down.
I'm going with the SirFetch'd evolution. I know it's a lot bigger than Farfetch'd but I think it's the very large leek lance and shield that it seems to wield.
I just got Monster Hunter World a little while ago so it'll be some time before I reach Iceborne content. I also have a huge backlog I'm trying to work through.
My job keeps me very busy so I don't get to play my switch as much as I'd like to. I bought a pair of neon blue joy-cons that started drifting just outside of the 90 day warranty and I did not use them enough to justify normal wear and tear.
When they confirm the drift issues are fixed then I will consider it. My boyfriend and I had to order replacement sticks to fix ours which is ridiculous. I still have to fix my neon blue ones that started drifting after about 4 months of moderate use.
Yeah I don't believe it. Developers are going to optimize handheld play for sure. There are several games now that play better handheld and that's not a coincidence.
Yeah the models are done and the animations we've seen so far don't look that much different from what was in the 3DS games. I've come to the conclusion that the only way I will personally be okay with this decisions is if they used the time they would have normally spent coding the Pokemon in to upping the quality of other aspects of the game like the story, side quest, cut scenes, gameplay mechanics, etc. I don't believe that is the case though which makes this policy change all the more annoying. If you are going to go forward with this I want a console quality game in all aspects and I just don't think Game Freak is the developer to do that.
I'm keeping my expectations low. Show me more Astral Chain, Fire Emblem, Rune Factory 4 Special and Animal Crossing. I haven't played any of the Luigi Mansion games so I have no feelings about 3. Oh yeah some more Pokemon information, even if it's just starter first evolutions would be great but I know TPC likes to do their own thing. I don't think I'm asking for much haha
@frabbit I like to have a game I shiny hunt on and a game I can replay with different teams and styles like doing a nuzlocke or something on. Really though if you have a friend who plans to get the other version you can trade with there is no reason for both.
@thesilverbrick The infographic they showed for Pokemon Home showed Bank connecting to Home and then you being able to move Pokemon to and from Home to SwSh.
Milo has no nose and a cherub face with an athletic adult build. Leon is wearing a cape over sports attire. Hop is named Hop. Sonia looks like she'd rather be in the mall than in a lab. Magnolia is keeping up the 'old person using a cane for support' that Pokemon does to emphasize a character's old age.
I enjoyed the direct and the game is looking great aesthetically. I was meh about Pokemon in the overworld before but it actually looks great in SwSh. I hope there is a focus on exploring the wild areas.
My boyfriend did two tours and while most of his time was mundane things it was the few times he saw real horrific things that led to him developing PTSD. I don't doubt for a second exposing yourself to the kind of violence portrayed in these games on a daily 8-12hr basis could do this to a person. I can play a game several hours prior to sleeping and end up dreaming about it.
Some of you are so annoying I swear to god. People criticize something and y'all scream from the rooftops that it's useless that companies don't care. Then a company actually takes it serious and listens you call the critiques oversensitive and entitled. If you are selling a product to someone you better make damn sure it's something people actually want. Good on the director for changing course. The original design was not sonic.
I've played pretty much every game I own mostly handheld with the exception of Super Mario Odyssey and Let's Go! Pikachu. I'm fine with an emphasis on handheld but it better have $60 worth of content for me to buy it at that price.
I'm currently watching my bf play it and while it does seem dated at times overall the game looks very fun. I've got a backlog to work through but will be importing eventually. Also his opinion of blitzball seems to depend on him winning or not lol

Re: Video: What Actually Causes Switch Joy-Con Drift?
