You can! Start a new profile on your switch and start a new game under that profile. Some of the cool goons on discord have used that as an opportunity to get foreign Dittos and such.

However, if you want to do any online with this new file, you'll need to repurchase the online service.

I just bought this a Switch and this game.

This is a lot nicer than my good old DS. The last one I played was Diamond.

I am really confused by the online stuff.

To Nintendo's credit, $20 a year for online services is much nicer than the $60 that Sony and Microsoft demand for the same span of time.

...yes, their online features are more robust, but still.

It’s true. Just let me see a friend and click on their icon to interact with them.

Also in XY, your character icon looked like your actual character did with the customization. In a game where we have customizable characters and can make trading cards with them, we have to choose a generic trainer or symbol as our icon! WTF!

Why can’t we just crop part of our league card to make our icon? Instead, I have to be generic “dancer” trainer.

Life orb with shadow claw, shadow sneak, swords dance, and play rough. EVs in attack and speed. A good little friend

I like Wood Hammer instead of Shadow Claw for the Type coverage since it doesn’t matter after dynamaxing, you still get Play Rough as a STAB move, and the most common dragon (Dragapult) is flimsy enough to still die to Sword Danced Shadow Sneak.
You definitely need Jolly though because there are a lot of threatening mons you can‘t outspeed if you don’t: namely, G-Darmanitan.

I've been kicking around the idea of trying Drain Punch as a surprise gotcha against steel types myself.

Also not that it's super relevant, but it also has Leech Life and X-Scissor as options too. When the hell did Leech Life become an actually good move with 80 base power?

Last gen, so Buzzwole could have a good thematic STAB move. I mean, they could have just made a stronger version, but Game Freak decided to uber-buff a move instead (they did replace it in low-level movepools though).

Yes exactly. It's not even Nintendo's fault, Gamefreak is the one that wrote the horrible netcode.

When you do get into a raid it tends to go smoothly at least.

My biggest gripe with the dub is that they keep gutting the soundtrack in favor of samey dub tracks.

Well good news, they've also gutted the original soundtrack by getting the MHA composer, so we lose out on iconic game tracks for Generic Anime Soundtrack #5216

Granted, with how much SM reused Kalos' music despite S&M having some really great tunes, I suppose that's for the best

(The E4 theme literally shows up once, in a Filler arc, and none of Team Skull's themes were used, although their steel drum theme was pretty good)

It's no "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" but it's nice to have some audience participation

Would've been cool if trainers whose cards you have in your album could be potential league opponents, with their team being determined by what they had on hand at the time the card was made

And then you have a guy with six Eternatus because why not

I got Sword for Christmas and it feels weird to have a Ninetales and a Vileplume with endgame-quality movesets at the second gym. Unceremoniously one-shotting Nessa's Drednaw the moment she Dynamaxed it was hilarious.

Unlimited access to a move relearner is the best new feature.

Considering they had similar things like that in previous games (Gen 2 letting you fight who ever you trade with in Viridian, OrAs letting you have your first 4 party pokemon for secret base battling), surprised* they didn't do that. Maybe have NPC in place of trainers who did have 'illegal' legendary teams.

Pick the buttons with the Big Numbers, slap a Choice Band on it. Do More number.

Unless you're zen mode then it's Salac berry, Belly drum/Substitiue/EQ/Icicle Crash. Do your EVs to make sure your HP is divisible by 4 so that after a sub and drum (or 3 subs) the berry activates. Go hog wild.
