I've been looking for a marked shiny Absol for awhile, and this Absol finally had the uncommon mark after 14 phases!

This was done with the shiny charm and mark charm as well. Not sure what to do with all these extras, but I guess that's a good problem to have!

Discussion Pokémon Sword is way better than I expected

52 Upvotes

I went into Pokémon Sword with pretty low expectations because I had heard a lot of criticism over the years. So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

The Wild Area was the biggest shock. For someone who mostly played older Pokémon games, seeing Pokémon roaming freely and being able to explore such a large area was honestly amazing. It made the world feel much more alive.

I also really like the variety of Pokémon available. I’m constantly finding new ones and actually have a hard time deciding who to keep on my team.

It’s definitely not a perfect game. I still wish it had:
full voice acting during cutscenes,
auto-advance dialogue,
a better online system than Y-Comm.

Those things make the game feel more dated than it should.
But despite those flaws, I’m having a genuinely great time. The gym challenge is fun, the pacing is good, and exploring Galar has been much more enjoyable than I expected.

I can understand why some long-time fans were disappointed, but as someone just playing through the game and enjoying the adventure, I think Pokémon Sword gets more hate than it deserves. I’m having a blast.

Hi! First post here and I bought pokemon sword at a game store a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it, it's my first pokemon game and I was rather hesitant to get it since everyone says the game isn't amazing compared to other ones but I do have questions about pokemon in general, I see people mention pokemon home? What is this and is it useful? I just hear about being able to transfer pokemon through games but I don't understand how it works, could someone explain the basics to me for transferring etc etc

Discussion Further in the game, who became one of your aces that you didn’t expect?

16 Upvotes

I’m usually a Water-Type Trainer but further along, a Psychic/Fairy Type became one of my aces alongside Blastoise and Urshifu. The Fairy/Psychic Type I’m referring to, ofc being the pastel king or queen depending on which you catch, Galarian Rapidash and I am si proud because I love that fabulous unicorn. 😂

So yeah, which Pokémon became one of your aces that you didn’t expect?😌
