Sooooo....how about that Pokémon Direct for Gen 8? Thought it was great, loved the new Pokemon especially Drednaw! The legendary look really cool, kind of gave me a Johto dogs vibe. And I think the part at the end was them teasing a third legendary, but we shall see. The champion looks good too! Not so sure how I feel about Dynamax yet. It’s a cool concept and I get it’s based off of Go’s raid battle mechanic. As long as they give us some unique Pokemon I’m ok with it. I have a feeling going on what was shown older Pokemon wise that the national dex is making a return, which I guess is ok but god damn it means a ton of work filling up to get the shiny charm.

That's why you invest in the Pokemon Bank. XD

It’ll just suck because once they’re traded onto sword and shield, you won’t be able to trade back to USUM/ORAS or XY.

Did anyone watch the direct today? I know a lot of people on twitter are quite salty that some Pokemon won’t be available in Sword and Shield and you can’t transfer anything over that’s not in the Galar Pokédex. That sucks for WiFi battlers, being limited to only maybe say 400 Pokemon. The question I asked about national dex has been answered at least but I still think it’s not great news. I don’t see why they want us to invest on the switch’s version of bank when half your Pokemon in your bank aren’t available anyway.

My second fave shiny of all time behind Zard got released yesterday, Kingdra. I never get shiny luck the first day of a new release, never ever ever. I patiently waited until 5pm UK time yesterday when Niantic promised an increase in global horsea spawns only to encounter 2 in 2 hours of walking. It was the same story for the rest of the PoGo players on my local discord and in other cities/countries judging by the posts on reddit and comments being left on Niantic's twitter feed lol I gave up shiny hunting and went home. I then saw a scyther raid and needed to use my pass for the day so drove to it. Afterwards, I was going to gun the motor and shoot back home (I drive a 2017 race red 5.0 Mustang lol, I like to make a scene when I leave a raid) but something told me to drive below 20mph. I came to a red traffic light outside a pub that me and an ingress player had just made into a new pokestop, saw a horsea pop up and the bloody thing was a shiny! I was only the second in my city to catch it, and so far only one of four. My game is now complete lol. Only shiny Flygon can get me out and about now! Hopefully you guys can catch your most sought after shinies too

Awesome stuff man!
The big one for me was Magikarp and/or Gyarados, as gen1 is my main attachment to Pokémon. The top two on my list currently are probably Sableye and Swablu. I guess I have a thing for gold.
I need to go walk some during the weekend with these boosted shiny rates, but I did get a shiny Geodude just about 45 minutes ago or so. Also a 666 CP Sableye 😈, I used to have one until the last CP changes so I was glad to get it back.

If i get a second swablu he's yours LK3. I'm still chasing that damn Karp. Now's propbably as good a time as ever to catch one i guess. Seems they boosted the shiny rates for some pokemon. I caught shiny wailmer earlier today.

I saw a lot of people with multiple shiny catches yesterday.
I’d like a Drifloon too, the color on that is really nice.

No national dex in Galar. Not a fan of that.

I've NEVER hatched a shiny.
Yesterday I was talking with a couple friends, and one of them has only been playing for a few months, yet she's hatched 2 or 3 shinies.

Buncha new Pokémon shown off today. Loved the one that when Dynamax turns into a cake topper.

Yeah like Dynamax looks cool but im sure I will just get a bit sick of it like z moves. Really would have preferred more mega evolutions.

That's just how they're gonna lock us into either Shield/Sword 2, a third game, or Gen 4 remakes. That's why no national dex, all the cool added features, and why there's so many crappy wild Pokémon choices from previous gens. Like we need ANOTHER game with the lines of Wingull, Machop, Caterpie, Goomy, Rattata, Onix, Ledyba, Zigzagoon, and all the stuff we get every game. At least give us different older gen Pokémon. Give me an early Houndour, and gimme stuff like lines of Glameow, Cherubi, Burmy, Stunky, Clampearl, Musharna, Nincada, Phanphy, Shelmet, Karablast, Shieldeon, Combee, Chingling, Klink, Sunkern, Zorua, Vanillish, Deerling with seasonal variants, and Rotom w/ version switch. Those would be some wonderful additions rather than just the rinse and repeat Gen 1 mons with a few Hoenn stuff thrown in.
