the only difference so far is the minor league trainer. they didn't even imply that there would be different pokemonIt's really stupid to have a separate season pass for both versions. Living in the past.

If you buy the season pass, the dlc will work on all profiles in the primary switch. It will only work on the purchaser profile on the secondary switch.I have a question. I have two Switchs and a physical copies of each game. If I buy the season pass with the primary account can I download both passes in both Switchs?
So is not like games? I have games bough with the primary account that I can play with other profiles in the secondary console.If you buy the season pass, the dlc will work on all profiles in the primary switch. It will only work on the purchaser profile on the secondary switch.
it's exactly like how games work.So is not like games? I have games bough with the primary account that I can play with other profiles in the secondary console.
maybe? we'll have to see what the move tutor moves are firstDo you think they'll eventually add in the moves that are currently missing from the game? I'm not talking about Z-moves or those from Let's Go, but just the standard moves that they cut.
I think they'll add a few of the missing ones, some that are decent moves and others that are for the learn sets of some of the returning Pokemon.Do you think they'll eventually add in the moves that are currently missing from the game? I'm not talking about Z-moves or those from Let's Go, but just the standard moves that they cut.
A lot of the moves that were cut were pretty pointless. The notable ones were Pursuit, Return, and Hidden Power with the latter two clearly being cut because of the mechanics tied to them. I'm not expecting any of them to return.Do you think they'll eventually add in the moves that are currently missing from the game?

A lot of the moves serve a purpose for the lower a mid level learnsets, but that's not really relevant for the DLC. Also if Chansy returns egg bomb will too. They also got a lot of shit for cutting Hidden Power, so I can see that returning.A lot of the moves that were cut were pretty pointless.

They confirmed this will be the case of some Pokemon, like the Galar starters.Really hoping these expansions add a way to give a Pokémon access to its Gigantamax form, even if it's some overly expensive BP item. Going through and breeding my competitive Pokémon really makes the lack of control over Gigantamaxable Pokémon even more annoying.

Why exactly do you think Return and Frustration were cut?

There's noting to really figure out about it. It's probably just that there's no reason to do the G-Max raids if you can just pass them on.Yeah, I know, that's why I mentioned it. If it only ends up being the Galar starters (specifically the ones you started the game with) that would be super lame though. Because it shows they already figured out how to do this but chose not to.

I'm saying that's very likely the reason they cut it.
Why would they cut them because they are tied to Friendship?
Making it so the players don't have to max or bottom out friendship on their Pokemon. Like how HP was cut so players don't have to breed for those IV combinations.
Return is a great reward for bonding with your Pokemon and is the best stab move a normal type can have. Cutting Frustration is fine, but that's an awful reason to cut Return.Making it so the players don't have to max or bottom out friendship on their Pokemon. Like how HP was cut so players don't have to breed for those IV combinations.
The problem with this is that a lot of people saw breeding for HP as roadblock for them getting into competitive in the first place or it was one of the reasons they started hacking.Return is a great reward for bonding with your Pokemon and is the best stab move a normal type can have. Cutting Frustration is fine, but that's an awful reason to cut Return.
That reasoning for cutting HP would only make sense if they replaced it with something, but they didn't and thus a lot of Pokemon just have much worse coverage. Regular players aren't breeding for HP, so cutting it did nothing but hurt competitive players.
The easy answer would be to have items to change the hidden power of a Pokemon like how we have IV boosting items now.The problem with this is that a lot of people saw breeding for HP as roadblock for them getting into competitive in the first place or it was one of the reasons they started hacking.
If they really wanted to they could create replacements or increase the availability of moves like body slam and mystical fire. We'll see what the new moves coming in the expansions are though I guess.

My guess is some of those were moves they either felt were redundant or weren't really used. Like Rolling Kick is only learned by Hitmonlee and Hitmontop and they just used Low Sweep to replace it and Karate Chop.Speaking of which, I would've expected Eevee to evolve into Espeon and Umbreon through the use of Sun Stone and Moon Stone respectively, now that they did it with Leafeon and Glaceon (the use of previously introduced stones, I mean). People always complain about trading evolutions, but I find the friendship ones the most obnoxious. The Camp feature made it so much easier, if you got the Pokémon at a low level, but otherwise it's just so annoying, especially since friendship isn't shown explicitly like a stat.
But going back to the moves, I think my issue or concern, it's just like the cut Pokémon, it's not about who has more reasons to be in, or what makes the most sense, but the fact they've been part of the franchise for years, and I think it adds to the personality, so to speak, of the Pokémon, and I don't think they really hurt anybody, except the developers that have to program them. Like, what is so wrong about moves like Mud Bomb, or Wake-Up Slap, Sky Drop, Rolling Kick, etc?

The thing about this is, I didn't feel like they were consistent with the move cuts. Like they cut a bunch of redundant or unique moves, yes, but then they gave Grookey a new move called Branch Poke, which is literally Leafage with a different animation. Why?

So this traduction of the characters notes make obvious that Galarian Zapdos is gonna be part fighting.
Then why not cut all signature moves, lol.My guess is some of those were moves they either felt were redundant or weren't really used. Like Rolling Kick is only learned by Hitmonlee and Hitmontop and they just used Low Sweep to replace it and Karate Chop.
You know I was thinking, will they only release news once or twice up till June for the IoA or will we see a proper news cycle for both DLCs with a constant monthly stream of updates for the entire year?
I don't expect the DP remakes to get announced until May or June of next year.I expect there to be a monthly news cycle for the entire year. Which is kind of nuts if you think about it, because they're probably revealing the Diamond and Pearl remakes early next year, so we should be getting Pokémon news every month from now on.
I don't expect the DP remakes to get announced until May or June of next year.
They wanted a starter pokemon to learn move with a unique animation almost immediately? Starters and legendaries are prime candidates for special treatment even if they want fewer signature movesThe thing about this is, I didn't feel like they were consistent with the move cuts. Like they cut a bunch of redundant or unique moves, yes, but then they gave Grookey a new move called Branch Poke, which is literally Leafage with a different animation. Why?
Throat Chop toosignature moves seem to get spread around more after a generation. at least Darkest Lariat became a TR anyway
And yet Scorbunny and Sobble get the standard Water Gun and Ember.They wanted a starter pokemon to learn move with a unique animation almost immediately? Starters and legendaries are prime candidates for special treatment even if they want fewer signature moves
Oh. Picked grookey and didn't know that.And yet Scorbunny and Sobble get the standard Water Gun and Ember.
I don't expect the DP remakes to get announced until May or June of next year.
Water Gun is foreshadowing.And yet Scorbunny and Sobble get the standard Water Gun and Ember.
Which is irrelevant to the idea that they wanted the starters to have a unique animation early
Let me have my fun plzWhich is irrelevant to the idea that they wanted the starters to have a unique animation early
Unless I'm mistaken Charizard's G-Max move is a fire spin type move. Venusaur will probably be leech seed.Just realized if the G-Max versions of the Kanto starters G-Max moves follow Charizard and are the other two pledge attacks Venusaur could be super annoying since it would reduce speed by 75%.
