Is sword and shield worth playing.

Your mileage may vary, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. It's not a bad game, but not as memorable as other entries.

That being said, it tries some new and exciting things. I love the wild areas that they introduced.

Are there any interesting Pokemon games for PC? 🤔

There's something sort of similar in Temtem on Steam. Other than that, just emulators.

Serebii says the new Zoroark is normal/ghost type. Normal typing just seems pointless to me.

How do you guys feel about Exp.Share being turned on for the entire party permanently as opposed to just being a held item?

 

[symbiote]

I wish we still had the option to turn it on or off.

Cant you turn it off?

Apparently not and TMs are back to being single-use items.

Normal typing means it cant be hit by ghost moves but since its a ghost type it cant be hit by fighting type move, its actually op as fuck.

Normal/Ghost's only weakness is Dark which ironically whay Zoroark original typing was lol.

They're most likely trying to appeal to new players, is my guess. I don't see why they couldn't add an on/off option, though.

How is making the game harder and easier at the same time appealing to new players?

If they go with the exp share always on then they should keep the TMs reusable, going in both directions makes no sense.

I don't know about you, but the first game I played was Red/Blue, and back then, I had no idea what I was doing in terms of leveling a team(I was like eight or something), so the Exp. Share can help new payers in that regard.

As for the TMs, no idea. Having to decide who learns what TM brings more excitement, I guess?

Same. I had just my starter and a bunch of HM slaves and I was getting fucked by the E4 or Giovanni every time.

I went to the Elite 4 with a lvl 74 Charizard and a bunch of lvl 20 Pokemon back in the day, lmao.

Honestly, I can live with that change. For me, it's the permanent Exp. Share that I hate.

When you want to power-level one specific Pokemon, it seems exp will just be shared with everyone without your consent. Then again, I never really cared for Diamond and Pearl, so it's whatever, I guess.

I want a remake of Red/Blue using the more modern engines.

 

[symbiote]

Hopefully they keep the version exclusives the same. I preordered Diamond for Honchkrow. I probably should have waited.

 

[Wonderful World]

As long as I can get an Arcanine somehow, I'll be happy.
