To a new generation, friends! Despite everything, I think there will still be a lot to have fun within our first true mainline console installment, and exciting possibilities going forward. But for now, let us enjoy everything Galar has to offer :)

I was always a Scorbunny stan, but I'm just glad I switched to team Shield at the last minute.

Imagine not having a Galarian Ponyta... not being able to see them running wild and free and glowy. Imagine choosing that life.
The ponyta drew my attention but couldn't you trade for them? I am keeping my sword preorder.

I'm going to go through this game with only new Pokemon. The only old ones I'll be getting are Gengar and Tyranitar because the rest of my favorites got cut.

Do games purchased on eShop Australia unlock at the same time as Japan?

Excited to see the Galar region. I wished that they would have gone even more with the football league system or something in that direction, but I'll take the aesthetics.

Hah, #GameFreakLied is still trending

I'm still buying Sword and Friday, but it's good to see that people are voicing their concerns.
This hashtag isn't people voicing their concerns. It's people being mean and entitled brats. I presume this isn't you... naturally...

Despite all its flaw, enjoy! It's a new generation and the first big HD entry!
Fantastic OP, good job there!

Looking forward to these games even if they aren't shaping up how I'd hope the first mainline console entry to go.

I'm going with Scorbunny this time. Maybe I'll actually get back into competitive Pokemon with all those QoL features they added!

Hope I have some fun with this on Thursday night (Friday morning? whatever, lol).

The only old Pokémon I intend to have in my crew is Mawile.

Yes, I know she's trash without the Mega form. No, I don't care. I stick by my homies.

I always gotta slap an old mon in my team, and since I plan on doing two teams in this run, I'll probably at least have two, lol. Thinking maybe Noibat and Drilbur...

Fantastic OT! My opinion on the games is quite negative as of now, but I don't want to get on the way of anyone's experience so I'll mostly lurk and ocassionally chime in with some tidbits.

Better question:

Docked or undocked?

I considering Pokemon games handheld, so undocked for me, well I'll be using my Lite.

I might as well ask here but concerning SwSh, does anyone plan ongetting the double pack? Therefore do they have two accounts on a switch or two switches?

I want to pick sobble but I also want scorbunny and wondered if it is possible to trade for scorbunny or sobble or gronk^ (see what The did there) for scorbunny or sobble on their extra game/account. or for any early exclusive they may need on first or second account. I may create a specific secondary account to trade the pokemon before asking for sobble or scorbunny on main account. Basically i want a low lv extra starter maybe lv 1-5.
Just wondering 😔

Awesome job on the OT. I am anxiously awaiting the shipping notification from Amazon (which insisted it will get here on release day, fingers crossed). I can't wait to get off work on Friday and start my new adventure!

Looking at the top tweets for the hashtag, I see hardly anyone being mean. I see people voicing valid criticism towards a company whose excuses aren't holding up with the product they're about to release. The meanest thing I'm seeing is a few people using #FuckYouGameFreak, which, yeah, is rude, but again, the ones using it are in the minority.

I'll play mostly docked. I've been waiting for a home console HD Pokémon game for YEARS now and it's finally here, so I want it to look the best it possibly can.

Also, Pro Controller. I have big hands and they hurt a bit if I play handheld for a while.

I'm stoked. Literally picking up my pre order early just so I can play a bit before my lecture that day. The anime starts a few days after too, it'll be a fun time

OP is slick!

I got the shipping notice for my copy of Sword from Best Buy, but there is no tracking yet. I suspect that means it will not be arriving a day early. :(

Oh well, looking forward to diving in when it does come!

Why are Sobble and Grookey both such good boys? I've never had this much trouble picking a starter.

Surprised that Scorbunny is the last popular in the poll so far, wonder if that's gonna track with the general public. Always assumed it'd be the popular pick of the pack.

I still have no idea what starter I'm picking. None of the final evos are that appealing
