So with today's announcement of gen 9 (dexit confirmed) along with home contectivity for PLA and BDSP, we are now in a position where we know the state of play for the future. It looks like GF are sticking with their SWSH statement that no more games will have all Pokemon, despite the false hope...

I had already decided not to get BDSP, as along with LGPE I did not think there was enough new going on to justify getting it, and I was not convinced with the new graphical repaint. However my wife wanted BDSP and the ability to trade, so we got both versions for Christmas. At the same time my...

The way I play Pokemon seems to be different to everyone else, as I used to focus greatly on the Evs given out from wild Pokemon and trainer battles. I would only send certain Pokemon into battle if they gained favorable EVs (e.g. I would never send my Kadabra to fight a Machop, otherwise he...

Here is one opinion that I think will be unpopular; Every month when the Sword and Shield Wild Area promotes catching a shiny Pokemon for a few days, I always ignore the event unless the shiny colours are IMO better than the original. As someone who has Pokemon dating from gen 3 exported to the...

Out of curiosity I dusted off my old Pokemon Diamond game and 3DS and gave it a spin for 10 min. At the same time I was looking at the Switch version, and from a over world point of view I could barely spot any difference. Sure the Switch is more smooth and polished, but it hardly matters when...

I was finishing off the game when the Dlcs were first announced. So I kept my in game team at their natural post game current level (mid 60s) and only updated their natures and evs. That way I will be able to naturally level them up in the Dlcs and keep some level of challenge (and only use my...

Yeah... Pokemon Home is terrible to say the least. I would go into more depth but it's already been covered by other people. At least it makes it simple for me. If SwSh ever get the full dlc national dex treatment (including Megas and Z moves), then I will pay the 8 quid to transfer everything...

So its just been confirmed that in addition to Dexit we now have Movexit, with key moves such as Return/Frustration, Hidden power, refresh and pursuit being gone. This pretty much confirms my choice that regardless of whether I will continue with Pokemon or not, I will not be touching Home. One...

Assuming the 400 Pokemon dex from the leak is real, then Dexit is far worse than I thought it would be. On a normal game 400 mons in a regional dex is great as it gives solid replayability for the game. However, once you get to post game and realise almost every past legendary and starter is...

Going to kick of the tread, as in my opinion if GF handle Dexit poorly, it could be the biggest threat to the franchise in its history. Since the beginning of gen 1 we have been encouraged to not only "catch them all" but also to build bonds with the pokemon we raise. I have fond memories of my...

It might be best if we shift the discussion onto something else. Given that we might not be getting any more official information before the game leaks/is released, has the marketing been sufficient to make people want to buy the game? Personally I think GF have taken a wrong direction with...

This CoroCoro leak summerises perfectly everything I love and hate about Pokemon these days. On the one hand, I can never say no to new forms and mechanics, especially on Pokemon that are completly unviable without them. On the other hand, I hate how GF is obsessed with making not-fully-evolved...

*Sees Mawile is allowed in Sw/Sh* Me: Oh cool maybe she can be my Mega during my in-game run...oh wait, no Megas so she is a trashmon again that nobody will ever use... If GF are insistent on limiting the dex size maybe they should leave pokemon such as Mawile for future games when Megas are...

I'm finding it hard to come to terms with, but the pokedex limitation might be what causes me to quit pokemon altogether. It would be a huge loss for me, as I loved the Sun and Moon series and was happy with how gen 8 was going up till that point. But here is the thing, I spent hundreds of...

So Let's Go is now avalible for download, with the file size being 4.1 GB. Thats only slightly more than Ultra Sun/Moon (3.6 GB), which goes to show just how bare bones this game is (the improved graphics are the only thing making it bigger than the USUM games). I know GF told us not to expect a...

Can someone confirm if breeding regular Pokemon with HA can result in Alora Pokemon with their own HA (e.g Get a Snow Warning Vulpix from Drought carrying Parents)? Kinda important for me as currently the only thing making me consider choosing Sun is getting a HA Aloran Ninetails. But I already...

It seems that nobody in any Pokemon forum was aware that several months after the announcement of SM GF sent private emails to people that were members of the Nintendo club and had bought several Pokemon games. Only a relatively small selection of emails were sent out (somewhere between a few...

OK so it looks like Z-moves are going to be much more prominent then I thought they would be. Not necessarily for the attacking moves but certainly for the status moves. If Z-Geomancy loses its 2-turn wait and gets +1 on all stats on top of the +2 to its special + speed then Xerneas is going to...

I agree that Z-moves are almost certainly not going to be as dominant as Megas were and will commonly be used to upgrade luring sets such as power-herb solarbeam Heatran. From what we know so far Z-moves add around 80BP to any offensive move (we don't know about status moves yet) and remove both...

Ok so looking at the complete list the only 2 pokemon I really dislike is Aloran Persian and the final fire starter (not because the design itself is bad but its a big step down from its first and middle form and does not blend well with them, similar to when dragonair becomes dragonite)...
