Is it even possible for a game to have free online play on the Switch? Fortnite might, but even then I’m not sure if Nintendo allowed that.

So, I bit the bullet, and got PLA. My biggest issue so far is the name of one the teams, or whatever is "Survey Corps".

It appears that not even in Pokemon can I escape Attack on Titan.

I like the name "Survey Corps" because it genuinely fits in both contexts, but you're definitely not the only one who kept thinking AoT anytime someone says it in game. Considering AoT is still pretty popular, they really should of just gone with "Exploration Team" or something.


I'm enjoying PLA quite a lot, but after playing this and watching a buddy play No Man's Sky for a bit, I do feel the explorable world in PLA is incredibly bland. While he was flying over a green earth-like planet is when this really stuck out to me, because if you removed all the creatures and huds in both and just did camera pans, you would be hard pressed to tell which is which, and that says alot considering one is meticulously hand crafted and the other is procedurally generated.
 
I spent a few hours last night trying to get a shiny alpha to spawn using designated alpha spots. While I didn’t get what I was going for yet, I did get 8 other shinies at random and a separate alpha shiny just in the course of flying to where the alpha spawns. So that was pretty cool.

I think the final objective is gonna set for myself is to get a full shiny alpha version of my team.
 
So I admittedly haven't played any Pokemon games, just watched my cousin play when we were younger. I'm not the best at video games, but the newest one looks cool and it sounds like you all are having a lot of fun. I have a Switch, so should I look into getting it or start with the watered down Let's Go Pikachu/Evee?

The gameplay is different enough that you don’t need to play older games to understand what to do. Main thing you’ll be missing out on is lore stuff for Gen 4, since this is set in its past.

Thanks! I can always look up the lore from Gen 4 if need be so that's not a big deal. And hopefully I'm not too much of a sped that I struggle with the game play a lot.

Honestly, none of the Switch games are worth starting with aside from Arceus. You’d be better off emulating/using a flashcart to play the really acclaimed ones from older consoles (Emerald, Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White, Black 2/White 2).

Not even the Mystery Dungeon remake? I heard good things about that. Grabbing a flashcart is just a good idea in general though.

I have that one, and it's nowhere near as good. The plot's same, and the graphics are nice, but the controls are clunky, and most of the convenient mechanics from the original have been scrapped in favor of fake difficult.

Stick with the original version. It's much more fun.

okay so i started getting into going after outbreaks since i'm delaying the main story, and now i understand what people mean by how stupid easy shinies are to find. i was in the middle of a clefairy outbreak when a shiny one appeared. unfortunately, i made the mistake of commencing a battle with it, and it fucking ran away. i mean i didn't really even want the shiny clefairy (seriously it's like a lighter pink and the brown patches become a light green, it's meh), but i was fucking PISSED. so i immediately haul ass back to town and see a snover outbreak, and during the chaos a shiny snover appeared, and i almost missed it. at least snover/abomasnow are dualtype grass/ice. i mean it's kinda a terrible defensive typing but lol whatever shinies.

so the shinies i have in this game are (minus the guaranteed ponyta): kricketune, 2 toxicroak croagunk, tangela, tangrowth, wurmple, snover... so pretty much they're all kinda garbage, except maybe the two toxicroaks croagunks.

edit: lol late edit but i also have a shiny aipom. and i meant croagunk instead of toxicroak kek
