I hope it goes back to how catching is in SwSh as I just don't like the catching mechanic is in PLA and all that nonsense about catching multiples of the same pokemon to properly fill the pokedex just seems like pointless busy work.
I'm just after renewing my Switch Online for another year how much is it gonna cost? does my existing time upgrade to the new tier? or does that convert to the equivalent time at the new price?
I was hoping that I'd be able to just move 900ish 'mon from GO to Home in one click. if it's one at a time I don't think I'll renew my sub for home next year.
I'm starting to think SNES Online is some sort of monkey's paw wish. yeah we got SNES games on switch but only a few and now nintendo won't add any more to either the SNES or NES online.
I honestly hope people vote with their wallet and not bother downloading or using this game. We need to draw a line in the sand and say no to mobile games with subscriptions and loot boxes.
I'd love a version which is designed for connecting to the TV only by removing the battery and screen and bundling with a pro controller. this would be the perfect machine for me as I never really play my switch in handheld mode.
@rjejr must have missed that sentence. pretty clear cut reason to not bother with it then as I was sure that everything was transferrable between platforms.
as soon as the mobile version appears I'm removing it from my switch. I hope I can transfer my save across as otherwise it's hardly worth starting from scratch again.
@Mrvengeace182 the Wii U give 10% discount for every game bought using the eShop. I used it constantly until they discontinued the 'Deluxe Digital Promotion' after about 2 years into the life of the console which was an absolute shame.
I've noticed they've taken away the separate section for Switch rewards so I'm kinda peeved as this cashback reward is fairly underwhelming compared to the rewards they give for the 3DS and Wii U. I've 160 gold coins which equals £1.60 cashback on the eShop but buying physical usually saves me anything up to £10 compared to the eShop price plus I've the resale value. it's a no brainer to keep buying physical and just using the gold coins on things like wallpapers and such. I was fully digital on the Wii U and 3DS but it's not worth the extra expense on the switch as I have to buy extra SD cards to hold my games which ends up costing a lot more.
I've bought so few games on the switch as it doesn't have enough memory to store them all unless I buy a ridiculously expensive SD card and the eShop is the worst laid out market place for discovering new games.
honestly regret buying the DLC because of the 'one hit kill' thing. I'm so disappointed at it's turned a great game I played to relax into a frustrating experience which just infuriates me.
is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the joycon analogue sticks? I find I've far more control using the pro controller as it has larger thumb sticks.
the layout of the eShop has put me off buying digital games for this console. it's so tricky trying to find stuff which interest you and sometimes the layout of the game pages where it has yellow text on an orange background, or another terrible colour combination, is difficult to read so I just don't bother.
I was really looking forward to this but after reading that review I think I'll pass. hopefully there will be an update soon which will make it the game I have in my head.
I have found myself playing the switch less and less recently. the games lineup is really disappointing so far, the joy cons are uncomfortable both handheld and in their grip, and the system is just far to large for me to easily take anywhere.
on my phone the app basically takes control of whatever bluetooth speaker it can link to and then prevents me from receiving any phone calls even if the app isn't loaded up. absolute disaster.

Re: Some Trainers Are Worried About Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Returning To "Traditional" Catching Mechanics

Re: Switch Pro Rumours Intensify As New Retailer Listing Appears Online
If the new "pro" is compatible with existing joycons Nintendo should offer an SKU of just the Switch Pro and Dock so we can use our existing joycons.
but honestly with the USB3 and networking built in I am hoping for a Switch model which is only for connecting to the TV with no hand held version.

Re: You Can Now Spend Your My Nintendo Gold Points On Digital Switch Purchases
@Mrvengeace182 the Wii U used to give 10% discount so this is really a step back.
