That's fine! There's no rush. Just let me know when you're ready, and I'll activate the free trial

Also... I caught two shinies! Last night I caught a shiny Xatu whilst just trying to get him in my dex - and it's the new purple square version!
Then this morning, I caught a shiny Crustle during training! I've never had this kind of luck in a Pokemon game before.

I'm interested in pretty much any exclusive, be it new or old

Have her, but as usual she was a car boot find

Don't think I've shared my code with anyone here yet! Username is Chewtle, feel free to add me

I have Sword, and I'm enjoying it. That being said, it's far from my favourite mainstream Pokemon game (especially with the hand holding making an unwelcome return - that's what annoyed me with Sun/Moon).

I've seen times range from 10-40 hours for completion. I'd say it's more like 20-25 if you take your time and enjoy every aspect of the game. I've battled every trainer, caught some 'mons, gone camping, and given myself a personal challenge (never to evolve my Sobble, who's currently at level 61).

Also, reminder for those who don't go online with their Switch - you'll need to pay extra for a Nintendo Online account. Even if you play locally, you need to be face to face with them for things like Surprise Trade (this game's equivalent of Wonder Trade). I was at the Kingdom Hearts World of Tres Orchestra last night - there was about 5-6 other people playing. I set up a ST and I saw somebody else set one up which was when I realized - there's no actual way of accepting a ST with someone. It says 'searching', but nothing ever happens. That or both our games were glitched. All I got to do was enter a Dynamax battle with someone which apparently is allowed.  Either way, I was disappointed on that front. Wonder Trading kept me going for so long back in the day, even if most of the Pokemon I got from it were awful.

My team at the end (for anyone who cares): Sobble, Corviknight, Thievul, Arctozolt, Runegrigus and Meowth (the freebie one they give you via Mystery Trade - he never evolves, but by the time I knew it I was end game and couldn't find anyone I liked enough to replace him with).

I have Shield and while I haven't been able to got far (exploring more than following story line) I'm enjoying it. One of my friends is Meh about it and wishes they had gotten Luigi's Mansion 3 instead

To be fair, LM3 is incredible! Spent over 30 hours on it so far (and I don't have access to online modes).

I tried the demo at Pokemon Center London, and I'm not too surprised to hear about the graphical issues... When I faced Nessa, there was a crowd in the stadium there which I thought was pretty cool, until they moved a little more and I realized they were just 2D GIFs playing all around me. Would prefer a way to turn them off, especially when I have Nintendo 64 games that use the same trick.

The thing that bothers me the most though is the 'can't catch Pokemon higher than certain levels without the badge' routine. Can you imagine getting into battle with a shiny, only to be told you can't catch it because it's one level too high? OUCH.

Got her at a car boot! Her hair is awful, though.

Probably the prototype Sweet Stuff. I'm sure I saw her a long time ago, but not even My Little Wiki has a photo up.
