Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet - General Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Lord Godwin]

The final Pokedex rewards for Home are out and as many people speculated the one for SwSh is Keldeo. Let’s Go’s ones sucks hard though as it is Meltan which you cannot evolve as of now. Update to Meltan’s evolution requirement when?

Would be nice, or at least let the Melmetal evolved from this one in GO to have G-max factor

Yeah, wouldn't shiny Mew make more sense? There's no way to use one in the Let's Go games.

The Let's Go reward wasn't worth it lmao.

This also basically confirms they want you to pay for the shiny Mew event in GO (if they ever roll it back)

I'm happy we finally got the Scarlet/Violet cases, even though they're locked to their respective games

Pokemon Let's Go doesn't allow you to receive Mew of any kind from Go if that's what you're suggesting.

Also, Mew was first available as shiny from the Old Sea Chart in Emerald, but granted, that is very rare.

No. I meant getting shiny Mew in general. I'm aware of Let's Go's Mew restriction.

I’m looking to do some group quests in Scarlet.

Friend code: SW-1302-5447-7035

 

[Yveltal91057]

I wonder what the next mass outbreak event will be.

All of the Gen 1-8 starters
Feebas
Eevee+evolutions

Just a though:
What if the Paradox Donphans were aimed to be your Sada/Turo Ace counter?

Great Tusk fighting type is SE against Roaring Moon. Same with Iron Treds Steel-type being SE against Iron Valiant.

Or am I looking to deep into it?

I like it conceptually but considering iron treads is still weak to fighting type moves which is Iron Valiant's other type it isn't the best counter.

Guys, I have a dilemma here - a month ago I finally bought Pokémon Violet (regular edition, DLC had to be bought separately through the eShop), and since Switch 2 will be a free upgrade with improved performance, I'm wondering - should I freeze the progression until I buy Switch 2, so I can continue with better performance?

Entirely up to you but one thing I would consider is when do you intend to buy a switch 2. If you aren't planning to buy one very soon after release I'd probably continue even with the current issues . It's hard to know whether the improvements will be a significant change and considering the switch 2 cost and considering you've already bought violet i would have more fun with the game as is than waiting. Plus if you intend to buy Z-A when that comes out then that might end up limiting the amount of use you actually get out of violet. But again that's purely my opinion, other people may feel differently.

I'm planing to buy in the end of 2025 a Switch 2 bundle with PLZA and thematic design. But, if this upgrade will be very good, I can buy earlier, a bundle with Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.
