@Fight_Teza_Fight using the gym isn’t advised past Rookie. It’s best to find Digimon you can farm stats from.

Excited for this. Love it on the PS4, hopefully that will be the basis for the port as it had QOL improvements.

The switch is looking like causing its own cost of living crisis for me in 2023. Zelda and Suikoden among others

You’ve got to laugh at this. We are essentially causing a ddos on nintendos store by wanting to buy a product. Site down again.

Wonder how much this costs in lost sales of other products

This is looking good. Must keep expectations in check but I’m failing miserably.

@FX102A I get you’re annoyed but then you’re okay with becoming part of the problem.

Xenoblade 2 is my fave game of all time and would love the collectors edition but I stand firm on not encouraging the scalpers that is is profitable for them.

I had hoped of finally being able to get a Xenoblade collectors item when it was finally released but I knew from the start I’d miss out and set my expectations for that.

@ketrac - this is the first gen I’m skipping. After how much fun Arecus was for me I’m not interest in going back to more same old same old. This just looks like Sword and Shield V2.

I’ll probably buy Sonic Frontiers instead

Just seems like another Nintendolife attempt at band wagon clikbaiting

The only way this year could get any better is if a Panzer Dragoon Saga remake was announced. Has been an excellent year for gaming surprises.

Hope they have better special choices. I love the n-zap but wasn’t impressed with the special.

Went team rock as well but didn’t feel the need to put in as much time this splatfest due to lack of carry over

I’ve never really been bothered with fps dips except once massively in Xenoblade 2. Old warehouse on Mor Ardain. I’m sure it went sub 10 fps at one point.

@RubyCarbuncle I feel the same. Arceus has changed Pokemon for me now.

@Fizza It also makes it easy to spot a Xenoblade game at the start of a trailer

I love Rex having a proper northern accent. I also love the that blades we're U.S. and the rest were British. It was a nice contrast

I'm looking forward to some freshness to the franchise.

I personally enjoyed the fresh catching mechanics of lets go.
I personally enjoyed the removal of gyms in Sun and Moon.

I don't want to be playing red and blue style for another 20 years

I think there are missed opportunities. The Zeraora Max raids was really cool and felt like raids from go but then that’s really been it. The challenge gave you a reason to max raid and the shiny reward was brilliant.

It Would have been nice to give people a chance at Manaphy who hasn’t been available since 2016 in Europe..

It felt like on the 3ds I had frequent visits to Game or WiFi events to get some rare Pokemon

Just seems like it’s been abandoned. Shiny standard Pokemon raids aren’t of interest for me

I’d gladly take a delay on this one. I want to be optimistic about this but I think it will be disappointing. My hopes are it’s successor will nail it from the mistakes made in this one

@Kirby_Girl - sorry if you’ve already done this but you have to click the + button to take the game online. After you do that people should join your battles.

I still love me a bit of E.V.O.: Search for Eden (kinda rpgish)

Will we get more Dizzy games? 😜

@henrysbloggin Totally agree. I’d love to be able to do “The Bunker Games” on a more regular basis.

@Obitokamui64 I find I have one match followed by 4-5 timeouts. It’s never been this bad for me before.

Hope the ending to the game is better than the series

Lucario. Took me ages to get one.

For me I’ve think I’ve got hit with Pokémon burnout. Every year it’s the same thing over and over.

I enjoyed let’s go, I enjoyed the mix of turn based and the new catching mechanic. The game was unbalanced but I thought sword and shield could correct this.

Sun and moon tried something different by removing gyms. Sword and shield put them back.

I’ll probably skip the next game unless it’s fully open world with a mini map overlay

I think I read on reddit somewhere that the Ycomm issue happens most when you’re in the wild areas. If you go somewhere quiet like the Pokémon center and use the card refresh trick you get a lot more refreshes.

This helped me get some Zeraora raids in.

@DriftFDs - I'd go 2, X, 1. I'm very early in the game so far so I can't pass proper judgement but this is my initial thoughts.
