Oh Peony is the best - I wish he was more involved in the legendary quests because he's such a fun character, it seems like a waste to have him just stay in the inn and and judge the appearance of legendaries.

They do this with a lot of their good characters tbh.

Thankee kindly.
I never even bought Crown Tundra and what I know of Peony sounds great.

Also realizing that my favourite characters in the franchise are characters like Peony and Noland and Archie and my conclusion is that the common trend is headwear.

Klara, Mustard and Avery are a lot of fun too. Klara and Avery are like if team rocket was actually put in the game to be your rivals. They have some the very BEST hilarious expressions and dialogue (giant hams the both of them) while Mustard is a weirdly adorable old champion. He's like the grandpa we all wish we had but instead of strawberry candy he gives you a kung fu bear to love.

It drives me a little nuts because I find myself wanting more from the characters we got but the story writers are so goddamn incompetent on implementing them!

Facebook Memories tells me that today is the 5th anniversary of completing my dex for the first time. I really need to play Crown Tundra to finish off the ones I'm missing: both new regis and ice horse.

I also have work to do on the Galarian forms of Slowbro/Slowking and the legendary birds.

If you need any of the Galarica items give me a ring. I've got literally 900 branches of the stuff.

A good chunk of the time spent in the wild areas are collecting all the shiny things off the ground. You'll end up with way more money and items then you'll know what to do with.

To piggy back off this, if you do find yourself running low on cash, convert your watts into luxury balls en mass then sell them. Easy 2-3 million.

I went through the Star Tournament with an all Fighting type team, paired with Marnie.

Teddy the Bewear
Daphne the Pangoro
Luke the Lucario
Lancelot the Gallade
Pietro the Mienshao
Phoenix the Blaziken

I lost on the first attempt due to Leon’s Charizard, but we beat him the second time around since Marnie still had Grimmsnarl.

Yeah, with Leon you need to be over leveled or he tends to kick the poo poo out of people. Not a bad trait in a champion but frustrating if you're not prepared for it.

The anniversary is themed around music. Post Malone is doing a Pokemon themed concert this weekend, Katy Perry is involved with the anniversary somehow, and they plan on announcing more music stuff throughout the year.

EDIT: They're also giving out an event Pikachu that knows Sing and the Pokemon channel on the official website is going to airing a marathon of music-themed episodes at some point, too.

Can they at least release Piers song already? The guy is a rockstar and if they're theming a celebration around music it feels tone deaf just to let that opportunity slide.

Piers is the biggest evidence Sword/Shield was originally going to have voice acting but it was cut for whatever reason. His silent "singing" is so bizarre.

When I beat the main game, I eventually had to put a Lapras on my team just to get past Cindeace.

Did a Poison type run and paired with Hop.

Fun as this may be I don't think that's happening. I mean why would they skip over two generations just to do that? Also nintendo has a history of meticulously recreating their classics right down to unpopular game mechanics.

Nice work. Do you have a rationale for picking a partner or are you just winging it?
