Probably not. You need to complete a living dex using Pokémon caught in-game and then move them into Home, and with the DLC being what it is, it's just not gonna happen.
Story is ultimately unnecessary because the gameplay is where Zelda really shines. It can even be a detriment at times if the game spams cutscenes. I'm replaying TotK right now and skipping through all the beginning cutscenes, there's a lot. But you know what game has a great story that gives the game its identity? Majora's Mask. Top notch world building with that story!
I wonder how they're gonna follow up New Horizons. I'm of the opinion that NH was a bit of a fluke, given it released right at the start of the pandemic and memed its way to the top, so more of the same may not draw those players back in. After playing Pokopia, I was thinking fully 3D rather than top down might be a good place to start.
So what they're saying is that handheld mode looks exactly the same as boost mode. Seeing as how I mainly play in handheld, this doesn't really offer me a whole lot.
I still play it regularly but I think it's time for a new game. Though there were 8 years between New Leaf and New Horizons so I'm not holding my breath for anything anytime soon. Honestly, I'm just waiting for them to release the GameCube one on NSO. Assuming they will, but who knows with save states and all.
Cute cover but I don't know if I'm gonna get this one. Every time I play a new Yoshi game, I just wish I was playing Yoshi's Island instead. So maybe I'll just do that when this comes out.
I totally wrote this game off as another boring spinoff that I had no intention of ever playing but it looks like I was wrong. Might have to give it a go?
Mono Dragon kinda lame, though. I would say that it's weird that it didn't become Dragon/Flying but I don't think Garchomp has any flying moves to utilize as a STAB beyond Aerial Ace.
I'm curious about how this will impact online battling in the main series games. Will the new games still have ranked battles, ladders, and seasons in VGC format? Or will all that be moved to Champions?
Very cool but it works way better as a phone game which is where I play it. I will say, though, the Switch version is what got me hooked and convinced me to double dip.
Iron Bundle, baby. It's just so funny, robot Delibird with terrifying strength. I remember encountering that first one in Area Zero and being immediately outsped and slammed. I was like, ummm excuse me, what is happening??
They'd never release mainline Pokémon games on NSO because that would require they be compatible with the app's overall features like rewind and save states, and TPC doesn't want players tampering with saves. The games also need to be standalone to connect with Home.
Gen 5 has so many great Pokémon! Krookodile always finds a spot on my in-game teams because its typing and stat spread are consistently useful. But Chandelure, Volcarona, Hydreigon, and Ferrothorn also rock
My favourite Gen 1 Pokémon is also my favourite Pokémon of all time, and that is Nidoking. Such a cool design! And then they gave it Sheer Force, what?! I love my spiky armoured venomous bunny rabbit.
FRLG are my favourite games in the series, so I'd be thrilled for a return as long as they do it right. Either just drop the ROMs or actually put time and effort into proper remakes or remasters. Don't half ass it
I'd have thought the cardboard headset would be the more uncomfortable of the two to use. Maybe I'll give that a whirl before deciding to fork out the $110 for the big one.
I played through Rebirth before I sold my PS5 to fund the Switch 2, and I thought it was fantastic game. I will absolutely play it again once it releases here. SE generally has a good track record with their Nintendo ports so I'm not worried about quality or performance.

Re: Completed Legends: Z-A's Pokédexes? There's A Shiny Prize Waiting For You In Pokémon HOME
Probably not. You need to complete a living dex using Pokémon caught in-game and then move them into Home, and with the DLC being what it is, it's just not gonna happen.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Play Zelda Games For The Story?
Story is ultimately unnecessary because the gameplay is where Zelda really shines. It can even be a detriment at times if the game spams cutscenes. I'm replaying TotK right now and skipping through all the beginning cutscenes, there's a lot. But you know what game has a great story that gives the game its identity? Majora's Mask.

Re: Preview: 'Yoshi And The Mysterious Book' Is More Than Just A Pretty Face
I dunno man, I started skipping new Yoshi games when I realized that every single one of them just made me wish I was playing the SNES one instead.

Re: PSA: You Can Now Download Pokémon Champions On Switch
I'll definitely be downloading it. Eagerly awaiting the mobile version, though, because I think it'll work way better as a phone game
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Star Fox Assault (GameCube)
The NA version is a classic, plus the lasers look cool

Re: So, Will you Be Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
Going to the theatre isn't really my jam so I'll just wait for a streaming release
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.6.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Can they make it so that initially connecting to versus race online doesn't take 10,000 years? Wait time is super short in 8
Re: Pokémon VGC Competitions Officially Transition To Pokémon Champions
This seems like the kind of game I'd play more on my phone. But I'll happily mess around on the Switch until the mobile version drops
Re: Video: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Switch 2)
So what they're saying is that handheld mode looks exactly the same as boost mode. Seeing as how I mainly play in handheld, this doesn't really offer me a whole lot.
Re: Fox McCloud Blasts Into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
So what you're saying is that Nintendo will drop Star Fox Assault on NSO to promote the movie. Sounds good to me!
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
I've been all digital for some time now so this great news for me! 85 CAD is far more palatable than the 100 they currently charge.

Pokopia used Growth! But it failed!
Re: Nintendo Remains Tight-Lipped About Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Future

I don't notice any input lag 🤷♂️ I'm old with slow reflexes though
Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Pokopia's Physical Troubles Continue As It Slips From The Podium
See it doesn't make sense to buy it physical if it's a key card. You have to download it anyway so you're just adding an unnecessary extra step.
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Icon Design Proposals For Switch 2's 'C' Button
More like minus button 2.0!
Re: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book's Switch 2 Box Art Is Suitably Adorable
Cute cover but I don't know if I'm gonna get this one. Every time I play a new Yoshi game, I just wish I was playing Yoshi's Island instead. So maybe I'll just do that when this comes out.
Re: Pokopia Joins A 3DS Entry As The Highest-Rated Pokémon Game On Metacritic
I totally wrote this game off as another boring spinoff that I had no intention of ever playing but it looks like I was wrong. Might have to give it a go?
Re: Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen (Switch) - Red-Hot Nostalgia In A So-So Wrapper
It's the definitive Kanto experience on a modern platform. Automatic 9/10 from me. Online trading would have brought it up to a 10.
Re: Quiz: Can You Name That Pokémon?
I was expecting some Jigglypuff as seen from above shenanigans but nah, you guys made it too easy. 25/25 baby
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC Welcomes A Ferocious New Mega Evolution Today

Re: Pokémon Champions Brings The Fight To Switch This April
I'm curious about how this will impact online battling in the main series games. Will the new games still have ranked battles, ladders, and seasons in VGC format? Or will all that be moved to Champions?
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Resident Evil Requiem
Oh nice. I've never played any Resident Evil game but I'm tempted to impulse buy this one
Re: Balatro's Back To Steal All Your Spare Time In New Switch 2 Version

Re: PSA: 'One More Catch' Is A Brand New Destination For All Your Pokémon Needs

I'm getting both, so I can trade and complete the Kanto Pokédex
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 8 Pokémon?
Gen 8 kind of sucked in my opinion. Dragapult is pretty cool, though, and so the Hisuian Pokémon.
Re: Nintendo Seemingly Rules Out Virtual Console Revival, Says It Remains Focused On Offering Classics Via Switch Online
They'd never release mainline Pokémon games on NSO because that would require they be compatible with the app's overall features like rewind and save states, and TPC doesn't want players tampering with saves. The games also need to be standalone to connect with Home.

I dunno man, I preordered the headset but it won't get here for a couple weeks.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 5 Pokémon?
Gen 5 has so many great Pokémon! Krookodile always finds a spot on my in-game teams because its typing and stat spread are consistently useful. But Chandelure, Volcarona, Hydreigon, and Ferrothorn also rock
Re: 'Can You Use Labo VR Goggles For Virtual Boy Games On Switch?' & Other Nintendo Classics VB Questions Answered
Gonna have to go this route until my headset actually ships.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
My favourite Gen 1 Pokémon is also my favourite Pokémon of all time, and that is Nidoking. Such a cool design! And then they gave it Sheer Force, what?! I love my spiky armoured venomous bunny rabbit.
Re: Poll: So, Should Pokémon Red And Blue Return For The 30th Anniversary?
FRLG are my favourite games in the series, so I'd be thrilled for a return as long as they do it right. Either just drop the ROMs or actually put time and effort into proper remakes or remasters. Don't half ass it
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario Tennis Fever For Switch 2?
Nah I'm not into the Mario sports games. If I get the urge to play Mario Tennis, I'll just boot up the N64 one
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics
I'd have thought the cardboard headset would be the more uncomfortable of the two to use. Maybe I'll give that a whirl before deciding to fork out the $110 for the big one.

I'll get around to buying Metroid eventually
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Hopes To Share Switch 2 Update In "Very Near Future"

Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
Honestly with Fire Emblem out, I'm waiting for Star Fox Assault now.
