forced rental is very dumb for a game that seems to be largely about catching and training.

Watch them actually release the games as Pokemon Sword EX and Shield EX with the DLC included a year after Tundra's released. :v:

i was close

also a comment on the music video got me: "There's a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks.… I'd better go, too ....."

that's a hell of a reference, dang

Man if they were worried about adventires being too easy they could have limited levels or certain pokemon from entering instead of making it a rental team.

Your guess was spot on but like its super normal for games to get releases that have the base game plus expansions later.

As someone with like 90% of a hidden ability dex, I'm torn on ability patch. I feel a little like I wasted my time gathering these mons across many games, some not so great (looking at you dream radar), but on the other hand I can finish the dang thing. Also, availability for battle relevant variants is also good.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

The secret best news from that is finally proper Pokemon Go connectivity! I have almost 200 dang shinies in that game and at least 3/4 of them are just clogging up my boxes. I don't even care if I can't use all of them in Galar; I just want to dump them somewhere that doesn't charge money for extra storage! :argh:

It's a bummer that the Melmetals I already have in Sword/Shield apparently will never be able to use the gigamax soup. I have a shiny one! It was a big pain in the rear end to get it!

...

Still, better that everyone has a chance at one w/o having to buy a new thing, I suppose.

Are there any unobtainable hidden-ability 'mons that this could theoretically open up? I'm assuming they're not going to add hidden abilities to, say, Eternatus, but are there any starters that never got a hidden ability release or anything like that?

Bad news! Word on the grapevine is that moving any Go pokemon to Home will cost coins. If true, it will literally cost money to move mons to Home on top of the already existing subscription.

They're adding other Pokemon as well. We've seen quite a few shown off that are fan favorites like the Nidos, Garchomp, Absol etc along with some more esoteric picks like Aurorus.


We also get two brand new Regis

Her arm, singular. The other arm in that shot is Alder's, who gets the same treatment.
