This is one of my biggest gripes with the Switch. By the time it released in 2017 we were all using voice chat in other other consoles since at least 2013. It's been almost 2 decades Nintendo, come on. Put a headphone jack in those controllers

We're due for some breaking Pokémon news. Legends Arceus was a high point for the series on Switch, I'm confident Z-A will deliver. Fingers crossed for a Switch 2 version/dual release!

I've never played Pokémon TCG before and I'm completely addicted to this

I mean, it is iconic now.

If not this week, than surely a week after Mario Party, right?! If it goes on to November, it must be after Mario and Luigi's launch. Predictions are all over the place. The suspense is terrible... I hope it'll last

Now all I need is the announcement of the Switch 2 and Splatoon 4 🗣️

"Now you have another game you love that'll never get another sequel", yeah, about that...

Let's make #Emio4Smash happen, lol

It's really blasphemous that Mario Wonder isn't on this list yet

OMG, FINALLY!!! But c'mon, it's not being announced in June. I can't take it anymore.

@Dazman they wouldn't announce it on a financial note. It's happening

I mean, it's inevitable? AI will become more and more a standard tool in many industries. I get the criticism, really. There's a lot to improve: art theft, inaccurate information, etc. But it is here to stay.

I remember being upset after seeing a Cat Bowser YouTube thumbnail before playing 3D World. That design is so good and I had it spoiled

It looks like both Pokémon SwSh and Zelda BotW will be surpassed by their sequels come year's end.

I just need Blaziken in my life. August cant come soon enough

Ooooh my god, this is going to be amazing!!

"Through The Sea of Time" from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

I honestly believe the designs from gen 6 onwards have been the best in the series, ultra beasts included.

One day I'll attend one of these, this looked amazing

Are you kidding me? Blaziken is and forever will be my favorite Pokémon

Starlink is honestly one of my favorite Switch games, really underrated

Never bought anything so fast in my life

The Gastrodon distribution for Sword and Shield is completely unrelated to the PLA mask distribution. It should've gotten its own article.

Just got Carrion, Death's Door and The Messenger. Really looking forward to playing them

SwSh is actually my favorite game in the series. Competitive is amazing, the new Pokémon designs were awesome, and the DLC added more than any third version ever did. Shout-out to raids, raid events and dynamax adventures. Me and my less competitive inclined friends played it for a very long time, still do

Every Pokémon game is someone's first and/or favorite. The gen 4 hype last year was very heartwarming

The truth is the Pokémon MMO "everyone wants" isn't a good idea to begin with.

This is adorable

I've been waiting for this for YEARS. Couldn't be happier. Switch really shaped up to be the greatest Nintendo console ever.

"F*** it, let's make a sequel inside MK8D" lol. LOVE IT

Everything leaked already lol

I'm just seeing this article and I relate to it so badly.

People online are saying the dupe exploits have been patched

I think it's fine, tbh. Cynthia was hard regardless of affection. And whenever a clutch moment happened, it was thrilling for me, not annoying.

Would you guys say this is the definitive best in the series?

Played it earlier in the year and had a blast! Can't recommend it enough.

Tried it myself and I'm surprised it's really quick and easy to pull off. Cloned a bunch of the Mew, Jirachi and Manaphy to give some friends.

I'm not surprised someone who thinks HGSS is the best game in the series gave this a 6/10

The update is adorable, the DLC is beyond lovely. All of it complements the game quite well. I'm having a great time with ACNH again

I didn't expect the DLC to be so adorable, but it is!

@Blooper987 I was hoping the review addressed this. This game really is the best JD in a long time.

He's adorable! I'll definitely pick him up

@HenHiro Natures existence isn't a hindrance of any kind to the main campaigns, neither are status moves. I really don't get your point. These examples are completely inconsequential to the story. As for Dexit, it's a more solid argument, but yet again doesn't really make sense in the grand scheme of things. Anyone's playthrough of a game campaign is limited to the regional dex, so Dexit is also of no effect on the story. Of course if I wanted to start my SwSh save file with a Chimchar just for the sake of it, I'd be completely disappointed, but most players will just play the game like normal, catching pokemon as they go. Listen, I'd be down for a game fully dedicated to competitive play, like somewhat of a merge of Showdown and Stadium-like games. It's a good idea, but what you're saying doesn't really justify it in any way.

@BLD I believe you're mistaking Aaron Zheng for Sejun Park, the guy who won with Pachirisu. Unless Zheng also did and I'm not aware, lol. But to add to your point, WolfeyVGC, another prominent competitive player and a friend of Zheng's, made a video titled "The Biggest Lie You Believe About Pokémon", in which he discusses this idea of the meta being stale and everyone using the same teams. Tldw: it's actually pretty varied. Even a single Pokémon has very different uses that can change the course of a match. Fully recommend the video to anyone interested.
@HenHiro When have they ever made compromises to the campaigns because of competitive play? Pokémon campaigns are as vanilla as you can get, there's zero influence of competitive play.

@roy130390 I love using slightly left field Pokémon on my teams on ranked. Of course it has to be still somewhat good, lol.
On topic: SwSh's competitive scene has been really fun to be a part of. Like Zheng was saying, there's always new blood when a new gen launches. And a key aspect of any competitive game is having an audience, a "streamability" factor. And the jump to the Switch made it SO MUCH better. The days of watching tournaments of the ridiculous 3DS resolutions are over.

I'm beyond excited and the game looks amazing! The way she looks, walks, everything. It's finally witch time

@Yosher Dynamax is exclusive to Sword and Shield

Blissey has been pretty weak in my experience. Hopefully this buff will push her to the next level. And that's a cute skin! There's also a little event giving adorable slowpoke ears for the trainers.

I mean, who cares about WarioWare spoilers? Lol

This is really a non news. It's obviously TCG related and they always come up with flashy names for cards and sets
