@drewber2635 No, i've never had fighitng types on my team before, crabrawler was cool, but too weak, and i don't like crabominable, Gen 8 is the first gen where i like the fighting type pokemon, i already have Sirfetched in my team and i am getting grapploct too, falinks is a good design, but they messed it up by making it genderless. i never have genderless pokemon on my team.
You don't even need the leek, i did not have a leek, i got 4 crits in my first battle against a wild pokemon. So i got a Sirfetched after just the first battle after catching. How? just use the TR focus energy.
I finally got a level 20 Sir Fetched, it was easy as long as you knew about the location and evolution requirement beforehand.
My only real complaints about this game, the unpredictable weathers and the difficulty of finding the pokemon i wanted, i havent even seen a single sizzipede or fished a single arrokuda, i'm already sick of the magikarp. and the low catch rates, i had to use 10 great balls just to catch that one galarian farfetched.
But otherwise, it is a beautiful game, graphics are really good, especially in hand held. im going to challenge Nessa later today.
@AcesHigh Hahaha, i still remember watching tv documentaries warning about global cooling and a new ice age, in the late 80s, and those documentaries were produced/copyrighted in the late 70s, i was very perplexed to say the least, as i used to believe in global warming back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
@PieNinja Yep, in fact the hockey stick chart Al Gore used, showed that as well, the temp increases before the CO2 levels increase, so the CO2 does not cause the temp increase, but the climate change alarmists keep ignoring that.
Global Warming is a hoax, climate change is a hoax, the Climategate scandal in 2009 proves this, many of these climate change promoting scientists literally faked the data to suit their narrative.
Socialists want to destroy private property rights, and the climate change/ enviro radical agenda is just another weapon to destroy private property rights.
i just started playing yesterday, and i love the visuals and animation, way way better than Ultra Sun. So i don't know what people are complaining about, they must be comparing it to other games and other consoles.
there may be gameplay issues, but in terms of graphics i have zero complaints.
i've seen the leaked first 10 miniutes of play, and i love it. it is a beautiful game. I already pre ordered anyway two weeks ago and paid the preorder fee, so i am getting Sword this week.
@AlexSora89 yes, fletchlings, sorry. the things is, the changes may hurt, but at the same they also help me, so it is a wash for me, it does not hurt me as much as it does other people.
hidden power electric wishiwashi with assault vest allowed me to beat kyogre during the rainbow rocket campaign. in fact my wishi beat kyogre single handedly. so these changes will hurt me and my ultra sun wishiwashi, but i guess as long as kyogre is not in the game i wont need hidden power electric wishi. i also wish they removed stealth rock or at least nerfed it.
@Galenmereth i disagree, it is better if people are allowed to say what they want to say. the problem with social networks right now is political and ideological censorship. suppressing political speech only makes things worse.
@AlexSora89 i have bred level one Talonflames with 4 best IVs in the hopes of bringing them in to Sword. That was wasted effort, but hey, wasted effort is common in video games. Nothing new there.
Liking a tweet? what? people are getting offended because someone liked a comment or post? WOW, kids these days, no wonder they are called snowflakes.
Getting triggered just because he liked a tweet or comment is ridiculous. You don't even know WHY he liked the tweet, i've liked tweets/comments even if i did not agree with everything in those comments, simply because i strongly agreed with part of the comment.
It is ok to get mad at the person who made the tweet or comment though.
I can't believe this is still an issue, cutting all the previous gen legendaries and mythicals is a God send. Yes, losing some of my favorite pokemon hurts, but they can be replaced with other pokemon or you can change your strategy to fit the new pokemon, if you cannot find a suitable replacement.
Losing your favorite pokemon does not change your playthrough much, it only really affects pokemon battling. But not having to deal with all those overpowered previous gen legendaries and mythicals helps and benefits me much more.
And bank/home wont be available until 2020 , so you won't be using your old favorites in your first play through anyway.
ive seen the leaks, and i like it, most of it anyway, some of the new pokemon are stupid, but some are great designs. too bad my two favorite gen 6 pokemon are not in the game, so i am already looking for alternatives to them. so these leaks have certainly helped me plan ahead.
i like some of these new leaked pokemon, including the fossils. yeah, there are a few stupid designs, but the rest are great. especially the bugs. the starter final evos are garbage though.
and that new ghost type pokemon is really creepy. just looking at it gives me the creeps. im avoiding that thing in the wild.
wow, Sobble turns super yuck, almost as yuck as Primarina or Delphox.
the best starter for me was Rowlett, and Decidueye would have been great except for the ghost typing, it would have been better as a grass/psychic type or pure ground type.
Torterra was a really good design too. Meganium was cute.
sounds more suitable for pokken, but yes, i would have loved this. it would it be very easy for beginners to get into the franchise, there would be no execution barrier.
there used to be an online dragon ball z shockwave pc game like this. battle on namek was the title, i believe. you would choose a move and then choose which quadrant of the screen you would go to. there were super moves too and forcefields.
@NEStalgia That's why automation and outsourcing is growing. Taxes and regulations also add lots of costs to companies and businesses, you literally need entire departments staffed with people who do nothing but follow govt regulations, whether it is tax, environmental, and so on. These depts are just expenses with zero added productivity or innovation to the company. Add to that the lawyers you need to hire, and then multiple insurance plans that are required by law, costs can add up very very quickly.
@Yorumi Huh? what content did Sun and Moon cut? i thought Sun and Moon had more content than X and Y, though i only played Y and Sun. ORAS had great content too.
Or are you talking about the PSS system from Gen 6? Yeah, i do prefer that over the Festival Plaza, especially the part where i can send short messages or shouts to other players like "Hacker!" or "Good game", and i can even have my own unique signature. In Festival Plaza everything were pre-written messages or word /phrases.
@UmbreonsPapa Nothing family friendly about Disney anymore, they don't even try, and being "inclusive" only makes them even more anti-family and unsuitable for children. Disney started being openly SJW in the 90s, though most people don't know about it. If it was not for the alternative media on the internet during the last 17 years or so, most people still won't know. Some of their cartoons in the 80s and 90s, like the Gargoyles and the Wuzzles were pretty much their early experiments on indoctrinating children with the SJW plague, which they do now openly in all their shows and movies.
Disney= SJW now, and like all SJW , they destroy everything they touch, look at how they destroyed the Star Wars franchise, look at at how they destroyed Marvel Comics, though in the case of Marvel Comics it was already going down hill, since the early-mid 90s.

Re: Rumour: The Starter Evolutions For Pokémon Sword And Shield Might Have Been Leaked
