  1. Hey y’all👋
    Curious if anybody has found any hints lying around the Galar region foreshadowing what Region Gen 9 will be based on? ( Strange souvenir/ the bread in Alola/ the Galar map in Let’s Go/ train station/ etc ). I have this feeling a region based on China will be our next adventure for some reason.. Gmax Centiskorch really stands out to me cause it looks like a Chinese dragon.

    Side note – I’ve been one of the few that loved Gen 5 games… and honestly seeing all the Gen 5 pokemon in the wild area really makes you appreciate their designs even more now… almost like the art style in this game really captures showcases their details in full.

  2. Currently grinding in the Battle Tower with a rental team to get BP and…. Why does Mimikyu look so good in this game? The lighting engine really favors it in this game. in USUMSUMO it’s disguise looked so washed out, now it looks so nice.

  5. I’m about to fight Leon and I have to talk about what happened before that… the Gym Chalenge is the best part of this game, hands down, but being interrupted 2 times on the finals with the nonsense of Rose waking Eternatus for no reason… This destroyed the end of the game for me.

  6. Been in and out of Glimwood Tangle I’m trying for a shiny Impidimp. So far I’m 109 encounters in. Once I’ve got one my journey continues!

  7. Do we get more customizations for the pc backgrounds post game? I’m really bummed they just have these weird generic backgrounds instead of the forest, river, ocean, mountains ect.

  8. If you want to be switch pals my FC is SW-0548-1861-3993.

    I don’t have any friends yet, so it’d be nice to fill that up! Also, I haven’t quite figured out Y-comm and multiplayer stuff, but I’m working on it!

  9. Anyway i finished the game and i’m feeling very bittersweet about the journey ending, I truly enjoyed my time in Galar and feel kinda really sad that now it’s kinda all over

    Leon was a total pushover
    Each of my teammates countered his every Pokemon perfectly

    Obstagoon slashed out Aegislash
    Haxorus was silenced by Sandaconda
    Rillaboom broke Seismitoad
    Cinderace had his leg snapped clean off by Drednaw
    Copperajah’s steel body was unphased by Dragapult
    and Lastly Coalossal and Gmax Charizard ignited the battlefield with their flaming fury
