I am actually quite surprised that they're releasing a "physical" version of SWSH with the expansion pack (in the world's worst boxart holy moly).
Really? I figured it was a certainty given how most other games release a "Complete/GotY Edition" with all the DLC included.
So it's possible we'll have to use rental mons to fight the legendaries AND we won't be able to know in advance which one AND we might have to deal with bad catch rates.
Is it just me or does that sound like a massive pain in the ass? Especially if they are indeed repeatable since basically the only way you could get a specific legendary in the Ultra Wormholes was by process of elimination.
Sounds about right with Dens being that kind of RNG too. At least for VGC we have the ability to make previous generation 'mons VGC legal with that guy they added to the Battle Tower.
It is nice that Inner Focus, Scrappy, Oblivious, & Own Tempo all ignore Intimidate, at least.
I mean I dont think a lot of pokemon use those abilities but, you know. Nice!
IMO: Oblivious Mamoswine gonna be the new tech since it should be able to tank hits from Dmax LandoT and can OHKO dmax LandoT without Dmaxing itself if adamant.
3) 2v2 cup: if even this isn't level scaled, it risks becoming stale extremely fast.
And that is why I am going to do Pacifist Runs. I don't see these being much more difficult than the Galar Cup rematches... although the trailer did show Ness and Milo sending out Pelipper and Ludicolo together so maybe there will be some synergies to watch for.
The announcement of a complete (or so to say) edition with DLC included was the bare minimum I was expecting since the DLCs were announced. I hope the price is lower, though...
And I guess I would only do Dynamax Adventure for the Galarian birds and then forget about it completely. I expect it to be doable with only AI trainers.
Gonna guess same price as SwSh when it first came out but we will have to see. Also we will probably be catching the Galarian Birbs via story mode and not in the Dens. And is there any indication we'll be able to do Dynamax Adventures without other players?
Glad the only reason i kept a hold of Lets Go (Mystery Box) is now a non-issue.
The obvious "cram all the legendaries back in" ethos of USUM is still alive and well and seeing as SwSh is clearly the intended final destination for everything, I'm curious to see how Pokemon formes exclusive to GO (Case in point: Armoured Mewtwo) will be handled.
They did that for ORAS too incidentally. And considering that you can't transfer those Mons from Go to Let's Go already I am assuming they will handle it by refusing to let you transfer them entirely.
The trailer was neat, I do like the nice touches they give the various trainers when partnered together. Them using Rental Mons for Dynamax Adventures does concern me but I guess they don't want people steamrolling them with stuff like 3 HA Perrserkers and a Zacian. It is neat that they have the option to switch out what you are currently using for a mon you catch, but the website seems to indicate that only one player can do that for each encounter. Not sure how that would end up working. I wonder if there's any way to tell what the end boss will be ahead of time, but probably not. Still, i'll be spending some time in it, especially if there are other rewards.
