    I don’t know how successful Unite will be. The MOBA craze has died down when Battle Royals became popular.

    Honestly a Pokemon Battle Royale would of been cooler to see.

    Using/playing as Pokemon with varied mobility, abilities and attacks to fight within a sprawling region to be the best there ever was would be a concept.

    I would rather see an online tournament mode added to the base game.

    huh, well that's probably fine for me personally since I'm not super into MOBA's anyway. honestly it's going to be super difficult for me to get excited about Pokemon outside of Pokemon Snap 2 right new. I think it's what I want in a Pokemon Game, I'm much more interested in exploring environments and ecologies and seeing Pokemon interactions than battle systems right now.

    I was just expecting Pokemon Sleep, MAYBE a Let’s Go Johto at best. So I didn’t exactly have the most hype for this Presents as it was.

    I can’t even describe my disappointment with what they showed. Just a big ‘NOPE’ for me.

    Mobile MOBAs are massive in Asia and that's the main point of this, if it does decent business on Switch or in the west in general then that's just a bonus.

    Pokemon Unite looks like one of those bootleg games you'd see on the app store to me, but the gameplay could be alright, who knows. I haven't played LoL in a while but it was fun if I remember. I may end up trying Unite at some point since it is free (to start), but I'm already playing multiple games right now (Overwatch, BFBB Rehydrated, Animal Crossing) and I have a sizable backlog of games I should go back to. My brother has also been nudging me to get back into LoL with him, so if I were to play a moba I'd just go back to LoL. :p

    Thank goodness because I HATED trying to defeat Zeraora lol, especially shiny ones. It’ll be nice to have more manageable Max Raids for mushroom farming.

    For those of you who haven't seen, I found out what an Applin actually looks like.

    This is the model within the apple.

    I remember someone drawing that, then removing the eye/ear things. It's cute.

    I can't tell if that is adorable or terrifying.

    Of course Home is apparently having problems when I'm considering FINALLY downloading it JUST so I can use the GTS feature for version exclusives. Because trying to use those community link codes posted earlier are resulting in no connections for trades. Probably in part because GameFreak changed it from 4 numbers to 8 numbers and people don't know yet what 8 numbers to use.


    Also can I just say how much I LOATHE that they put the GTS system for Sword and Shield in Home and not, say, IN the game like every past release that had it? They have 'Link' Trades and Wonder Trades but couldn't also do GTS?
