Speaking of Spore: if they ever bring Smeargle back Game Freak really need to change Spore so it fails if used by a non-Grass type. Having such a good move on otherwise weaker Pokemon is what balances it and Spore Smeargle is too versatile to be balanced.
That or give it the toxic treatment and make to where the move is now less accurate (maybe 80% accurate), but it doesn't miss if user shares the move's typing. That way, the move is a little more distinct and isn't just "a sleep powder that doesn't initially miss" (yes, I'm aware that one of the distinct features of Spore is that the mons that have access to the move, except smeargle, have mushroom-like features).
 
Well, the Japanese name of the move IS "Mushroom Spore", after all.
Speaking of which, how many mushroom pokemon are there? Off the top of my head, I can name four (Shroomish line, Foongus line, Paras line and the Morelull line). Are they the only ones?

That is all of them. They introduced a two-stage Grass-type mushroom line in all four odd-numbered generations.
 
The 2nd to last battle of a Battle Test in ORAS can sometimes have a verteran or otherwise old trainer who uses all legendaries - which almost guarantees a lower score. Last time this lady veteran had an Articuno with the Mind Reader + Sheer Cold combo.
The adaptive team building has some really interesting quirks. In BW if you have in hacked Pokemon that have like, wonder guard and no weaknesses, the battle subway enemies will focus on status moves and other ways to drain your hp and so on. Go even further and they'll start carrying fire fang, that only works through wonder guard because of glitches. Fascinating stuff.
 
I got Pokemon Sword the other day, and I have to admit, it's not that bad. I actually like it.

It's fun, and I am having a really good time with it. I do have issues with it like GF fucking up Wonder Trading and the GTS again, and not being able to turn off the EXP Share ability, but it is fun. I like characters, especially Leon, and Piers, and I know I'm in the minority for this, but I think the graphics are just fine.

They're not mind-blowing, but they're not godawful like I thought they'd be. They even look really good some times like in the mines, and mushroom forests. There is an occasional lagging issue, and sometimes objects, players, and 'mons just spawn out of nowhere, but that's it really.

I think that despite all the backlash, bad moves by the company, and the Dexit, this is still a perfectly acceptable, and fun Pokemon game.
It's mostly just lacking graphical polish...or I guess polish in general. I'd always rather pick up Sword/Shield compared to the slog that was Gen IV even if the latter's world design etc. is better.
 
Let’s be real here, most people got the game just so they can get off to all the cute Pokegirls. I will never the “waifu culture” of the Pokemon fandom.
 
Every game series these days has a waifu culture. Even Digimon jumped on the train when they got Yasuda to do the character designs for the games and cards of female Digimon were being drawn by hentai artists.

Not to mention Cyber Sleuth has a boss that looks like it came straight out of a tentacle rape hentai.
 
Meh. Sword and Shield's girls are decent at best. I don't get the hype.
Sonia's the only one who actually does anything of importance. The gym leaders you see a couple times as per usual and Marnie is just, there. Like seriously after coming off of Lillie she's such a complete plank of a character with a mess of a design (plain pink dress with a bunch of "goth" features scattered around yet she talks and acts like some shy country girl).
 
Gen 5 best girl are the two female protagonist. Artists for some reason like to draw them with massive mammaries compare to other pokegirls.
Hilda and Rosa also have buns. The booty shorts in Hilda's case, and cute hairstyle in Rosa's case. Just really nice designs all around, and I can say the same with Hilbert and Nate.
 
They clearly peaked in Gen V with Skyla.
I'm not usually a waifufag but...

I play Pokémon masters (basically FE heroes but a Pokémon skin) and I’m actually happy with how they’ve been handling it. There are very few alts (only ones besides the signa suits is 1 Christmas, the 2 summer and then the alts for Red, blue and green), and they even brought in Jessie and James with their anime vas. Downside is your player gets quickly thrown aside for better characters as Pikachu doesn’t evolve, Torchic doesn’t evolve, the Kanto starters are an ass to evolve, the eggs are pains to raise and Sogaleo (the one good Pokémon the insert gets) is a fucking event only.

I agree, except for the egg raising. Especially, when they're practically giving a way the leveling manuals and Evolution shards/stones via the training areas and the shop.

They're pretty stingy with the affinity items, though.

Don’t forget about Klara, rule 34’s new favorite girl! (So glad Honey didn’t get that treatment)
But I do agree with what you about Marnie (if anything I find Piers hotter.)
Also on a side note, apparently /vp/ has a massive hate-boner for almost all the male characters in that game (especially Leon and Raihan)

Yeah that sounds like /vp/. Honestly SwSh's characters are one of its biggest strengths. They're not super deep or anything, but all of the gym leaders for example are memorable and endearing. Big fan of Kabu, myself.
