Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
SwSh would've been better if it completely removed the shoe-horned stuff with Rose and just spent that dev time on the two postgame dandies. Let them unleash Eternatus in their attempts to feel important. Rose's "but in a thousand years bad stuff!!!" thing was asinine. It's one thing to say "hey I want the planet to be living for a long time" and "another to decide "the best way to do that is to trigger a possible extinction-level event because I can't wait 24 hours."

I'm glad Team Yell remained not-terrorists and didn't turn out to be Team Rocket Clone #39397390833 But Also Eviler Because Thing.

Also existentially terrifying. The main character is an eternally innocent fluff ball and the world around him is full of body horror and weirdly intense tragedy.

I missed out on a square shiny gigalith because the raid catch rates are so abysmal :negative:

I'm really about to give up on max raid battles... everything breaks out if I'm playing online. I even used a dusk ball on that shiny and it still busted out. Is there something I'm doing wrong? None of my mons are 100, if I level them more does that help my catch rate?

Team Yell was the best kind of dumb they could have possibly been, and Marnie is a fun rival.

I think though, that one of my favorite parts of SwSh was the bracket-style tournament at the end. I'm sure it's per-determined the first time you do it, but it was still nice and different.

I loved everything about team yell because it was so drat wholesome. Honestly I liked almost all the characters in the game, it's why I'm so bummed the story wasn't better. I actually like these guys I'd like to see them doing more cool stuff.

Occasionally NPCs will whine to you about team yell like you share there annoyance, and frankly I'd rather hang out with team yell than any of those NPCs. Those hooligans are loitering? So what grandma, at least they're enjoying themselves.

The best part is that free DLC game on the switch reveals he's actually one of the 4 heroes that stopped a cosmic catastrophe that would of erased existence itself and gives Galacta Knight is proper title of the Aeon Hero. Like it's heavily implied he's the one that sealed void after the great Magician vs Science war in the past.

He's finally getting elaborated on!!!

E: Btw the free downloadable game on the switch has some crazy lore reveals for some loving reason and shows Hyness and the Mage Sisters got better and now chill out on popstar as Kirby's friend. So Star Allies villains got off easy and there's actually a gay couple in Kirby lore.

So what was the deal with Morpho Knight, then? and it, like, taking over/replacing Galacta Knight?

Woolie's Kirby lore videos are fun. They're quite a bit over the top and feature more than a little bit of fanon / speculation, but they're still worth your time to watch:

Oh, right, Pokemon.

I'm probably going to give my in-game team a break and retire them (other than my Cinderace) and train up an entirely new team for the DLC when it hits. There's still a ton of new 'mons I'd love to use that I didn't get a chance to during my run through Shield. The DLC gives me a good excuse to pull them out of the boxes and carry them through the new areas.

Maybe I'll do two entirely new teams, one for the Isle and one for the Tundra.

You want bad advice?

Anything is okay if you don't get caught!

... I hope this helps!
I gave the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon demo a try, and I wasn't impressed. I figure that they'd flash up + flesh out a GBA title a little more than that, but it's brutally faithful to the original. The production values are extremely low for a $60 2020 game; lots of reused audio and graphics from Super Mystery Dungeon, a 2015 portable game, and they feel very out of place on a far more powerful console. Sure, they added some updates and mechanics from more modern games, but it's not enough. (The faux watercolor backdrops are also so bright that they hurt my eyes.)

Mostly, I'm just baffled that they're remaking the first game, which is still a bare-bones affair, and not the vastly superior sequel from the DS. :confused:

You can even force him to relive his greatest tragedy at will in the latest game.

People aren't really sure. He was introduced in Star Allies and his pause menu stuff doesn't really say a lot about him. Japanese version calls him a knight from hell that comes around judgement day to judge souls or something but uh, that's about all we know.

That and the butterfly has appeared at the start of every Kumazaki game so it's some kind of strange foreshadowing

Woolie's videos are fun but he confuses a lot of things with anime lore and gets a good chunk of stuff wrong. Still kinda worth it just for the great art he commissions though

It's this one. All throughout star allies Flamberge gets pissed off you hurt Francisca first saying that she's special to her. Pause fluff mentions how badly she wishes to go on a picnic and spend her time with her and how much she cares about her and has trouble spitting out her feelings. In the Freemium switch game when you progress far enough in the story cameos show up in the hub like Hyness floating around in the sky just hanging out with other Kirby friends, but one of the cutest ones is Fran and Flam sitting on a bench holding hands and talking.under a tree.

Implication is she finally spat it out :)

Mentioned it before but the last game 100% confirms this is the case. Void is just a 'baby' Kirby.
