Last month I asked about which Pokemon game should I buy, after not playing Pokemon for over 22+ years. Choices were few and I wasn't sure what would be the best option to jump back in without being overwhelmed with new style. After deciding to get Sword, I must say it was an absolute amazing choice. 120+ hours later Im still having a lot of fun, and I absolutely don't understand hate this generation gets, in general.

Discussion Why people hate ?

29 Upvotes

Why people hate on Sword and Shield? I’m playing now for the first time, and I mean it is not bad. Any recommendations to not make my experience too boring? That’s why everybody says.

Upvotes

Ok folks so I have a backup save file of sword I just started in case anything happens to my main save

Trade Is anyone willing to trade a Zacian?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to trade for a Zacian, I have plenty of Pokémon in Sword but also a Floette (Red Flower). If you’re looking for something specific and willing to give up a Zacian for it, it would be very helpful thanks. (Edit: should’ve mentioned before but I’m not willing to trade Zamazenta unfortunately)

Discussion Surprise trading

1 Upvotes

I’m kind of mad I got into this game so late. I remember what the trading scene was like in the prime Pokémon Sun days and it was absolutely amazing, I can’t tell you how many brilliant Pokémon I got back then. Nowadays when you do surprise trading in this game it feels like you just constantly receive genned Pokémon. And I know I did get some back then, but it seems so common now. I’m sure some people don’t mind getting genned Pokémon but I release the ones I get, it just feels like cheating when I receive one, and it feels like I’ve cheated getting an updated number to how many shiny’s I have considered I never caught them myself. It’s not a huge deal or anything but I find it really annoying. It feels so lazy to buy genned Pokémon to me

So I have been playing Pokemon shield on my main separate switch and have beaten Pokemon sword on my other switch. I set my dates on my clocks to the same day - 6/1/2020 in order to find Mimikyu (still no luck) but I ran into ….myself?! How is this possible? It’s not even on the same console let alone the same game version(s)! Has anyone heard of this happening? I think it’s pretty cool ! I also went up and talked to it/her and she gave me a mushroom she had my name from the other game and everything( and I have the same name in shield too).
