Patches & Updates - Pokémon Sword & Shield
Patches & Updates for Pokémon Sword & Shield for Nintendo Switch. Lists all patches, bug fixes and updates that have been pushed to the game
Looks like they didn't start patching until it was prep time for the DLC and anything else was game-breaking bug fixes if I'm reading these correctly

I feel like this is an example of the difference between western and eastern media. Here, most devs will bend over backward to listen to community feedback (most of the time), with at least a marketing-speak version of “ok ok we are trying alright!?” In some cases this has led to massive turnarounds, like No Man’s Sky. Hell, outside the vidya world, they cyberbullied the Sonic movie studio into totally redoing Sonic!
East dev studios though? Nope. “Oh you don’t like our game? Well you bought it so shut the fuck up.”

I was browsing /vp/ and noticed several threads about this "trusted leaker" claiming that Megas will return in the S&V DLC. Seems like a stretch to me as it would take away any hype from Teras but I also wouldn't be upset to see the only good gimmick come back either.

There's no way in hell they're bringing back Megas. People liked them too much, and GF would call it "too much work", even if they were just importing the existing ones. I especially don't believe it because Megas would distract from Tera. I'll believe them bringing Z Moves back before Megas, it's way less work and because of how they work mechanically (1 shot, 1 turn), they wouldn't detract from Tera very much at all.

I mean, they've done it twice before. They were brought back for Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Moon and Let's Go.
I can see them bringing it back. What I don't see is them adding new mega forms.

Regarding SM/USUM, because of the mechanics of Z Moves it made sense to include Mega forms as well. Regarding Let's Go, SwSh weren't out yet and Z moves were considered regional even in the lore of SM, so including Mega's again as a gimmick made sense. It's not impossible they won't come back, it's just incredibly unlikely because just like with Dynamax, Mega's would distract to much from the "super form" gimmick of the generation.
I can simply see Z Moves returning far before I see Mega's and Dyna's returning because they aren't a "super form" gimmick, they're just simple one-and-done super moves.

Megas were in the base USUM though.

I know. I just consider SM and USUM the same game for obvious reasons.

So what's the typical rule about the Togepi/Random Egg for Nuzlockes? It counts as a gift Pokémon, right? I had already caught a Geodude (Rocky) in Union Cave where Togepi hatched (turns out it's a female, named her Sandy), and I caught myself a Magikarp (Marty) in Violet City, so is this just a "You do you" choice on if I should use her outside of an HM slave?
Route 33 has dupes in the nighttime, so I'm gonna have to get Headbutt after Bugsy to check the trees.
Current team:
Irwin (♂) - lvl. 13 Totodile
Chi (♀) - lvl. 12 Zubat
Lenny (♂) - lvl. 12 Hoothoot
Rusty (♂) - lvl. 11 Gastly
Milly (♀) - lvl. 13 Wooper
Wendy (♀) - lvl. 7 Oddish

I usually box the egg and never bother with it, but if you want an excuse to try out togepi you get the egg in a town which otherwise doesn't have a catch don't you?

I already said I caught a Magikarp fishing in Violet City 'cause I thought mayhaps I'd be able to hatch it in Azalea Town, though I boned myself by just walking around in the grass to grind like 15 minutes before nightfall so I could go into Union Cave to catch something.
Far as I can tell, using an HM Slave doesn't go against the Nuzlocke if you don't make it a personal rule, but I was kinda onboard of potentially using the Togepi for battle later down the road.

You can play the nuzlocke as you want but most of the time static encounters are allowed in addition to regular encounters.
Only exception being places where you get multiple static encounters like Celadon City and Saffron City.
HM slaves are allowed if you dont use it in battle.

So you can't get the Lapras of Union Cave in a Nuzlocke, then.

Family of Three Maushold are in 4 and 6 Star raids if anyone wants the variant.
One gym and one set of classes left before I take on all three stories’s finale. Still having a bit of lag now and then, but no real problems save for the whole pop-in thing, but I kinda expect that with Nintend. Still really like the game, generic NPC designs suck, but I like the looks of Gym Leaders and Team Star Bosses. Normal Gym Leader is hilarious to me.
I swear, if the Titan Guy’s dog fucking dies…

The rumors are true: the Ultimate Champion of Paldea sends her toxic spikes-setter out last. Even the literal child member of the squad set up rocks first thing. Insane gameplay at work here, can’t wait to see how the crater and the school tournament work out.
The Elite 4 themselves were kind of pushovers, most of them folded to the ice dragon and Jumpluff of all things. Arven at least knocked a few of my boys out.

Are raids higher than three star locked behind post game? I can’t seem to get anything higher than that but I haven’t finished the game yet.

4 star is max before post-game. 5 star is after main story and 6-star is an unlockable after post-game.
On another note, I just finished the main story.
Area zero was amazing, gamefreak just keeps showing that they absolutely can make a good story if they just break-away from the stupid pg-3 environment and show a little edge.
Also the elite four members were a fucking joke. I miss the days when elite four members were like battle-scarred heroic heroes instead of regular pansies.
