Secondly, this.

High-Res Wild Area Trees [Pokemon Sword & Shield] [Texture Mods]

Enjoy your high-quality non-N64 trees!... A Pokemon Sword & Shield (SWSH) Texture Mod in the Other/Misc category, submitted by MelonSpeedruns

That actually looks pretty good rather than some "NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN"-tier garbage.

Apparently all the Pokemon, items and moves - even ones not in the game - are in the code for Sword and Shield.

You forgot the best part

this game is a complete rushjob
if the Pokemon from outside regions are still hand picked why have the category difference?
there's no way the dex cut wasn't an 11 hour decision

Makes me wonder if Gamefreak seriously thought it could shit something out in 6 months because that's how sprite games worked.

I see no new articles on the sales of the game post launch. Would be interesting to see if they had a noticeable decline.

I've seen reports that it's already outsold Let's Go's 3 million sales in the same timeframe and that (unfortunately) the ludicrously expensive double pack in particular has sold stupidly well. But the two things to remember are that A, two versions as always so that's "cheating" (especially with the double pack BS that idiots have clearly fallen for) and B, the initial games of a generation always outsell secondary/remake installments by default so that's really not saying much. We're not going to see how well it will truly do when stacked up to its past gen contemporaries until after the holiday season clusterfuck is over.

But given how plenty of morons are already calling it "The best games in the series" (fucking what?) I don't have high hopes for bad sales performance (in terms of Pokemon standards) in an capacity.

Someone managed to find a Shiny that was not capturable due to GF's dumbass restriction on catching based on badges earned:

Welp, so much for the reports that the game automatically locks out mons above your license from being shiny.

that's corporate espionage if I ever saw it jk, though really at this rate it needs a full engine rewrite before it gets fixed

“Haha, it looks like gamefreak fucked up. The code that guarantees too strong encounters aren't shiny only covers normal wild encounters, not the 200+ static Pokémon Gamefreak littered the routes with to make first visits to them more exciting: https://t.co/4XBGozOJZu https://t.co/qfKQqZqHUH”

unfortunately NO

hacked switch?

...Yeah on further inspection this is one case where I'll buy that argument. One instance after 3 days with only a standalone photo as evidence that can very easily be hacked or even just shopped? Not to mention shinies seem like fishing in a barrel with how fast people are getting them so this issue only popping up now screams suspect.

No it's real they legit forgot to make static encounters shiny locked, I thought it was hacked at first but my post above shows it's not bullshit

Just found this out. There's too much back and forth going on with all this anymore.

>people saying hacked switches are not the fault of nintendo

When the PS4 was hacked, it never caused shit like this.

PS4 has actual save editors working for it and it doesn't cause shit like this. Like You can do shit like item swap by changing hex values even for shit like Skyrim and it doesn't cause fuckups of this magnatude.

I remember a message hack could potentially brick your console, it's not like the PS4's coding was completely up to par. Switch has save hacks too, as far as I'm aware. Games causing fuckups with a hacked console is entirely on the person doing it, what's inexcusable is that this issue is happening on non-hacked Switches.

Expected, the games will do well, but the switch doesn't have the 3ds' install base yet so I would be surprised if it surpasses those games.
