I thought it said to compete in just one.

No it was 3. I thought it was one at first too but it was actually 3 likely due to there being a more worthwhile gift.

Darn!!! They really gotta be more upfront with that.

New Max Raid event is live. GMax Kanto starters, and some are giving Max Mushrooms as raid rewards.

Wasn't there supposed to be news about SwSh today? Is it just those raids with the Gigantamax Kanto Starters?

I personally think the predictions of an expanded Galar Pokedex are unrealistic. My biggest hope for Switch games for this week is BDSP and PLA Home compatibility. The new patch for BDSP supports this hope. Second tier would be a DLC announcement for either of those games.

At least there’s the 27th.
Even then, it’s probably just Home compatibility. Which is fine, but I’d like more than that.

Honestly, I’m having a lot more fun shiny hunting and raiding in SwSh than I should be. I have 200 hours in Sword and 430-ish hours on Shield. Comparing that to 70 hours on BD, which I haven’t touched in months, or even 70 hours on L:A (I need to get back to shiny hunting there, too)…
I think SwSh are pretty great, even though the story is trash. Its graphics aren’t bad, either. I think L:A has superior Pokémon models and building models, but SwSh has better models for trees and the *two* caves.

Same. Dynamax Adventure has a lot more replay value than Ultra Wormholes.

I think the Dynamax Adventures should have been implemented post-game and they should have not given you the Crown Pass until after you beat the main story because the randoms are Level 60+ regardless of when you enter. The fact that:
Or at the very least, make it so the clerk in the Max Lair won't let you do the Dynamax Adventures unless you are a Champion, sort of like how the Calyrex story ends with you being told you are terrified of Calyrex's mount and need to be as strong as Leon to battle him.
You can go in there before you leave Motostoke and fight Hop the next time, wipe to Peony, and then do six Dynamax Adventures and capture six Legendaries to sweep the game is broken.

Three months later, we finally got that Home compatibility with BDSP and PLA. Something to do this weekend besides Shiny Hunting a Solgaleo in Dynamax Adventures and trying to finish my replay run in Kalos.

Made an interesting observation on the Nintendo Switch displayed in the players room. The Joy-Cons on the Switch will match the color of the ones that you are using to play with.
Had I not been using my white Joy-Cons, the red, blue, and gray Joy-Cons are something I would have thought nothing of. Is this a known and documented aspect of the Sword and Shield?

can Mega Evolve!
It was mentioned a few times around Sword and Sheild's Launch.. I remember GameXplain doing a video about it.

Apart from being a little known aesthetic gimmick, it would make for one heck of a tough trivia question.

I'm doing a Halloween month shiny hunt in Dynamax Adventures! Currently shiny hunting Giratina, but also making a point of battling any "spooky" Pokemon along the way, particularly Ghost/Dark types. So far I only got a shiny Drednaw that I named Michelangelo because of its color scheme.

Now that Bank is free to use and my Home subscription doesn’t expire for a month, I am going to be transferring the Pokémon currently not registered in the Home Dex which is something I’ve been unable to do for a year and a half when my Bank subscription expired and the announcement that it would be free to use in March 2023 and I didn’t want to waste money to use the app if it would become free during the middle of the subscription. My other 3DS doesn’t have Transporter because I never bought a subscription for it but it’s okay as that 3DS and its Blue and Silver games are more for trading/Dex completion/Time Machine purposes anyway and the Pokémon I would want to be transferred would be on my New 3DS system. From here I’m going to complete the SwSh Dex.
