I think /vp/ or somewhere discovered a Switch port of SM was done by GF to test the system, and I THINK - don’t quote me - it was even given the internal name of “Stars”. Could’ve made that as an actual third version to begin selling the system with USUM as the 3DS extra versions. Like have Lusamine go both through her final boss insanity and the USUM story change she got on the Switch as a minor example.

This never happened. Lots of test assets for Lets Go and Sw/Sh were in the Gigaleak but not hide nor hair of "Stars."
 
I took part in the first half of Pokèmon GO’s December Community Day, the rate was okay but since I wasn’t in a “hot” area I didn’t get a lot of Shinies (15).

So apparently I hear the Gym Leaders Clay and Elesa from B/W have a daughter in the new DLC, and I can only imagine how pissed of Twitter is considering how much the character was treated as a lesbian with Skyla.

That’s only half-true: Lacey is Clay’s daughter but there’s nothing in the dialogue, seen in-game or data-mined, stating who her mother is. The Elesa angle is just another 4chan hoax like the “OK hand gesture is actually a white supremacy dogwhistle” bit was.
 
According to data miners there's a "third" dlc for Pokémon SV that is in the game code that is activated upon receiving a key item.

This games mythical is locked behind it. No word on if it requires the other two dlc's purchase but the indigo disc required completion of the teal mask to start it so it is likely that it might require you to have owned and completed the two previous dlc to play.
 
Whoever decided that the DLC areas should start their Dexs from 1 again and include base game Pokemon but numbered differently needs to be shot. Box organising by number is a nightmare as a result.

then after that there's like, nothing. Yeah there's big name cameo appearances like Blue and Red but there just isn't as much actual natural connection between regions.

I mean there is. The issue is after BW came XY which is literally an alrernate reality to every game that came before it and where all the continuety has been in since. Alola had tons of references, the references in SWSH were the only good part of it and Palsea has so many references to Unova it’s crazy,

Only struggle really was BDSP and that seems like it was caused between fans screaming ‘needs to be a 100% faithful remake but also add in a bunch of stuff that was not in those games and thetefore not be a 100% faitful remake but if it isn’t a 100% faithful remake we will murder you’ and ‘GF should not develop remakes and hand them to someone else’ along with Ilca just being inexperienced. I honestly get why those fon’t feel connected.

If they lock the Epilogue to their whole game and DLC behind a limited time key item I’m going to die of laughter

I remember when games were intended to be complete on release.

Part of me hopes that the Mythical Pecha Berry Key Item will be one of those "permanent" online events like the end-of-support Dynamax Raids SWSH got but we all know it won't.

I'm just hoping it'll be distributed soon, I've heard that it being a surprise late December/Early January giveaway is a possibility due to mochi being an important part of New Year festivities in Japan.

I am autistically annoyed that the new Dex goes to 240 instead of 250, and that Iron Leaves and Walking Wake inexplicably don't count for some reason.

But yeah, DLC was pretty meh. A mini Elite Four situation, a trek through a new section of Area Zero that wasn't nearly as neat as the vanilla game, and Terapagos was underwhelming and the story just felt incomplete.

You can tell the Gamefreak staff is horribly overworked. I've adopted the schizo theory that the treatment of Kieran throughout the story was some sort of cry for help. Kid just can't catch a break.
 
A few SV events have been announced for the Christmas season.
  • A new 7-star raid will be taking place between December 22nd (00:00 UTC) and December 24th (23:59 UTC), the featured Pokémon is an Ice Tera Type Iron Bundle with a Mightiest Mark. It can be caught once per save file.
  • A third run of Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids will be taking place between December 25th (00:00 UTC) through and January 7th 2024 (23:59 UTC). Like the last two runs it can only be caught once per save file.
  • A Special Mass Outbreak event will feature Delibird with an increased Shiny chance, it will take place between December 22nd (00:00 UTC) and December 24th 2023 (23:59 UTC) and Delibird spawns will appear on all three maps. If you like to abuse the Item Printer I strongly recommend that you abuse these outbreaks when they happen, Delibird Presents have a 54% material yield and only a few other TM Materials top that number.
  • Another Mass Outbreak event featuring Dratini, Jangmo-o, and Duraludon will take place between December 25th (00:00 UTC) and January 3rd 2024 (23:59 UTC) and the Pokémon will have a higher chance of being found with the Joyous Mark. Dratini can be found in Paldea, Jangmo-o can found in Kitakami, and Duraludon can be found in the Terarium. Like the Delibird Outbreaks I recommend that you abuse these ones too. Dratini Scales and Jangmo-o Scales each have a 45% Material yield while Duraludon Tarnish has a 54% Material yield.

Wait, you cant rematch paldean e4?

Not in the base game, sadly. You can rebattle the Gym Leaders and Paldea Elite Four using the League Club though, you just have to invite them over as special coaches. Thankfully there isn't a limit on those battles.

Galar had the grand tournament as a redeeming quality, that was great for grinding up your IV/EV maxed team while farming money to buy the ability capsules and nature changing items.

It's just getting worse with every generation.
 
I really dislike all the videos now in my feed of ‘do this before Bank closes’ for all of the comments saying ‘why can’t Nintendo keep it up forever? Multi Billion dollar company etc’. As if the comenters actually care about their old mons, as if Nintendo hasn’t changed hardware since the 3DS. As if you can’t get most if not all the mons in the Switch games and the mythicals you can’t get are clearly due a showing up in the next two mainline remakes we’ll get in the next 5 years to say nothing of any Let’s Go or Legends like games to get Celebi.

Saying ‘hey move stuff just in case with everything on the 3DS but Bank shutting down’ makes sense. Otherwise they’d bitch that Nintendo/GF wasn’t telling them anything and they’d be worried about that.

To be fair, they’ve kind of got to be.

Since when is Pokemon Bank closing? I thought they were going to keep it up for the foreseeable future, you just can't download it anymore since it was on the e-shop that's since closed down

They aren’t closing. Their was just a Play Pokemon mentioning everything else but Bank is closing and that people should transfer while they can. And people have freaked the fuck out. Because most Pokemon fans are retarded.
