:Squirtle: My first starter ever was Squirtle in Blue, which was my first Pokémon game. Why did I pick Squirtle? Because it would evolve into Blastoise, which was the mascot of the game, and my favorite (Kanto) starter at the time. I didn't get Red (until much later) because I thought Charizard...

In celebration of the 30th anniversary, it is time for some fan music! Jyc Row released a new epic orchestral track, which is about Groudon. It features vocals from Christian Correa. Go listen to it below! As some people might remember, Jyc Row made a Kyogre song five years ago, and he has a...

It has been a few weeks, and I am now finally almost ready to wrap up the game for the time being. Here are some things I have done: Completing the side missions was mostly easy (and fun), and I used a guide to find the missing Colorful Screws. The worst part was doing special scans to...

S/M and US/UM do not have a National Dex (and that's one of my biggest issues with them). But they still let you obtain and use all Pokémon that existed at the time, if that's what you meant? Personally, I think S/M and US/UM both have too many flaws to be considered "perfect", but they are...

I have only played Sword (with DLC), Legends: Arceus, Violet (with DLC) and Legends: Z-A (with DLC), so I will only talk about those games. Best PokéDex: ScaVio > S/S > Z-A > Arceus I generally prefer a large Pokédex with lots of variation, ScaVio and S/S both deliver in that regard. I think...

Thank you so much for taking over the Subway thread and making the leaderboards active again! I see that my streaks from 2020 have been added to the leaderboards, thanks for that. Not sure if this is relevant, but all three of these streaks are still active. Though I haven't continued on any of...

I’m late to the party as usual, but I have beaten the Mega Dimension. Here’s my review. I got the DLC and started playing on December 10th, I then beat the main DLC story on December 23rd. It took me around 19 hours of playtime. I beat the post-game story on December 27th, which took me around...

Well... I disagree! I definitely prefer the story in Z-A, it had many good and memorable moments. Truth be told, I don't even remember much from the story in Arceus, it didn't leave a particularly big impression on me. I think the fights and the battle system is much better in Z-A, I really hope...

Let's see here. For me, Z-A is the best Pokémon game since OR/AS. It is my favorite Pokémon game on the Switch and my fifth favorite Pokémon game on the whole. I think Z-A is much better than Legends: Arceus. Those two games are total opposites for me, and I hope future Legends games will...

An Alpha Charizard as a Mystery Gift is a bit random... unless it is a hint towards Mega Charizard Z appearing in the DLC? I got the gift Charizard, not sure if I'll use it for anything though. Nice to see that the Hoenn starters are confirmed to be coming back! ...but their Mega Stones are...

Here are the details for the in-game teams I used in Legends: Z-A. Before I started playing the game, I had decided on three Pokémon that I was going to use, but not more. I wasn’t sure if I should use just one team or two. I decided to wait until I had started on the game and see how I should...

I did not expect Lucario to get a second Mega, but I guess it makes sense since it is a popular Pokémon. Design-wise, I think it looks a lot more different compared to regular Lucario than the regular Mega Lucario. Either way, I'm personally happy about it since I have trained a regular Mega...

Thanks for bumping this thread. My overall favorites and least favorites haven’t changed since my last post in this thread (five years ago!), but I might as well make a “Switch Edition” of this, because why not? Here we go! Least favorite things about my favorite Pokémon game on the Switch...

Here’s my review of Legends: Z-A. I wanted to get this done earlier, but for various reasons, it didn’t happen until now. I started playing the game on October 16th and I beat the main story on November 4th. It took me around 43 hours of playtime. I played slowly as usual, doing a lot of side...

Decided to make a slight update now that I have played through Z-A. It isn't my top favorite Pokémon game, but I still rank it very high. I decided to make a top 10 since I didn't do that in my last post. It looks like this: 1-2. B/W, B2/W2 3. X/Y 4. OR/AS 5. Legends: Z-A 6. US/UM 7. Violet...
