for you guys that actually have played Sword/Shield:
is it really worth a $60 price tag? is it even worth the $55-50 tag at Walmart? when do these games generally drop price?

I bought it for $50 at Walmart and I felt like I overpaid. I’d personally value it at like $30-40, maybe $45 max.

Nintendo cuts ties with publication for leaking Pokemon Sword & Shield information - VG247

Nintendo has located the source of the Pokemon Sword & Shield leak, and its response is likely to be super-effective. You might remember back in November major leaks of content in Pokemon Sword & Shield hit the internet. These leaks began almost two weeks before the game was due to release, and...

Never upset Nintendo ninjas they turn over every rock to find ya.
 
Apparently GF couldn't even bother to prevent currently illegal mons from being used online. The extra 35 has been circulating through Surprise Trades and online battles. Just yesterday someone I know got a shiny Incineroar though the former.
 
From what I've heard - anecdotal at best - the people being banned are the people using them online, for battles/dens. If you're not using them online, you're fine.

No word yet on what happens if you're surprise traded one. People are very worried about that, understandably so.

If you ever do any online battles, make sure to let me know the salty details of getting sweep by Landorus.

Lando won't be back for some months. All Home does for now is basically grant access to old movesets and the extra 35 I think (which would explain my earlier post, some got them going early, apparently Intimidate Littens are exploding everywhere on the trades).

On a different note, they finally added a mass release feature, but only through Home. You can use the free version for it thankfully but it's yet another really useful feature they tucked away behind extra app bullshit.

So... Uh, fun thing about Home and Bank...

The free trial of bank overrides your current membership in bank. I had renewed my membership a few weeks ago... And now, with the update, I lost that 5 bucks.

Are we sure it isn't just overlapping and the membership that was paid for will continue after the free month is up? If not then that is just, disgusting. I'm in a similar position since I also paid for one more year just a month ago (going to wait and see where things go after the initial DLC is done before I make a choice as to where my collection is going).

Also, several more "fun" tidbits. They added a much-requested mass release option (especially handy for breeders), but it's only in Home. It's included in the free version but still, why isn't that in the base game. GTS is locked to the mobile app only, it's not present in the Switch version of Home. Similar to Go, the Pokemon appear as fully 3D models in Home, have said models posed to mimic their official artwork and will even sport their shiny colors when applicable. Again, more improvements relegated to goddamn app bullshit instead of the actual main game.
 
Send your tickets in. Whether it’s just a display error or a genuine overwrite, they’ve got a month to unfuck it. It sounds like a developer oversight, though.
 
people have already found some fuck ups with Pokemon Home

Hey c'mon guys it's only Nintendo's 4th console that had online capabilities, cut them some slack. Nobody has been able to do online right after only 4 consoles. I mean come on, if online really mattered to you, you should have bought a computer.
 
I just built my first legitimate competitive team; perfect IVs in all six mons, specifically made to counter my friend’s mono-steel build:

Gastrodon (Bred with Yawn) special tank
Snorlax (Bred with Curse), physical tank
Charizard (Solar Power), sweeper
Dragapult, physical sweeper
Rotom (Trick w/ Choice Scarf) suicide sweeper
Hydreigon, coverage

Which one? Is it heat?
Click to expand...
Yeah, Heat-Rotom with Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Overheat and Trick. Trick + Choice Scarf so I could go first due to the speed boost and prevent my opponent (specifically my friend’s Corviknight bulk sweeper from endlessly using Bulk Up and/or Taunt). Too bad it’s notoriously fragile, hence the need for Volt Switch.
