Re: Random: What If Nintendo Just Released A Basic Switch XL?

There have been advertisements before that removed the bezel to make the picture larger. So that in it self doesn't prove anything. I would like the new switch to have that smaller bezel and thus a larger screen. But I do think it should come with upgraded hardware too, otherwise I won't be bothered to make the switch 😉.

Re: Poll: After 24 Hours, How Are You Getting On With Pokémon HOME?

CarterDucote

Transfered my living dex from sun/moon to home, yet the pokedex on the Phone only registers a few of them Which is a shame. They do show in the pokedex on the switch though. Alsof when browsing through the pokemon on my Phone I see both the new boxes I made in pokemon home as the old structure I had in pokemon bank. Its confusing.

Still despite the bugs i'm reasonably happy so far.

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?

On the switch I can play the games I want whenever I want without the need for a big screen TV. I'm living together with my GF and we share the TV. Sometimes I hook up the switch to the TV but most of the time I'm just playing in handheld mode. There's no sacrifice for me there. I haven't bought a PS4 or XBONE because I would only occasionally play on either of them and wouldn't make any progress. (Unless save games would be shared but the don't do that). Also since my last home console is the XBox 360, to me the switch doesn't really feel like a big downgrade.
If I'd be living on my own things might be differently but right now the switch is perfect for me.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Dethrones Diamond & Pearl In New Famitsu Sales Chart Record

CarterDucote

Let's not forget that ps4 and xbox aren't releasing anything big now that could dethrone pokemon because of the next generation coming. And neither did Nintendo. To really compare diamond and Pearl to sword and shield you'd have to look at absolute sales nummers.

Also I imagine that if sword and shield released without the controversies it would have sold more in the first week and the sales in the weeks after wouldn't remain so high.

I myself hold off buying the game until I was sure i'd enjoy the game. And allthough it could have been more I am really liking the game.
