    Have Shiny Pokemon been crashing anyone's BDSP game?

    Been soft Resetting for Shiny Giratina for 2 weeks. About 4 times now the game crashes during the transition to battle and I'm convinced each time was the shiny spawn.

    I swear the game is bugged!

    I did that for palkia a week or so ago. Had a few crashes but still got the shiny. You should be good.

    I don’t think in getting Legends Arceus this weekend. Pokecenter hasn’t sent me any shipping info yet on my pre order.

    I'm making the trek in the morning to get it physically in the store during work hours....should be better odds at not being busy.

    I just got an email from pokecenter saying they canceled my plush bonus. I’m just going to cancel the game and pick it up at Target tomorrow.

    Edit:

    Pokémon center emailed me back. They said I’ll still get the plushie it will just come in later and not along side the game. I will also have the game ship in early February.

    My game was delivered. Good thing I didn’t cancel my Pokecenter pre order.

    Played a brief 40 min before while on my lunch break. It takes some time to start up. I’m still in the tutorial introduction stage and haven’t gotten the ability to fully explore yet.

    One issue I have is more against the Switch console and not the game. This game could use the analog trigger like PS and Xbox consoles.

    Target had a few copies of Arceus left this morning so I scored one. I haven't done much with Pokemon for about 5-6 years besides Go!, so this will be interesting.

    Took a test run to start it out on handheld, not bad, think I'll try to play it on tv as much as possible though.

    left stick click for running is going to kill my joycon I think though.

    My local Target had a lot of copies. Dozen on the shelf and another dozen in their drawer by the register. Got the free stationary.

    I got mine this morning and it sucks!!!

    Nah I'm 100% joking. It actually has like a Breath of the Wild feel to it.

    the whole collecting items to craft other items has got me hooked. The Pokédex requesting more than just capturing a Pokémon is neat. I haven't gotten far into the game but I'm seeing myself playing it for a long time.
    Any online features discovered yet?

    It's not bad. I do see where the limitations of the hardware come into play...you can't have multiple sprites and a decent draw distance at the same time, apparently. I do wish there were more things to find out there, though, besides catching Pokémon and harvesting items for crafting.

    Anyhow, when you first get out into the field, if you stay to the right, you'll encounter some Lvl 18-22 Beautiflies. But if you hug the mountain and walk through the water, there's a lvl 45 alpha Snorlax waiting. I had to run from the Snorlax...

    I’m liking what I see so far with legends. The crafting system seems to work fairly well. Hopefully home support comes soon. Still shocked there’s no home support for bdsp.

    If there is home support it is most likely just for transferring out Pokemon.

    Out of BDSP you think? I’d think it would be the same for those and legends, like it was for sword and shield. I caught a bunch of shiny Pokémon in Go and was hoping I could move them to legends.
