    I honestly never thought i'd see a pokemon snap 2 that's so hype i'm so hype for that.

    Quoting myself from the SE++ thread:

    Cool, Zeraora will be in Max Raid Battles

    That's one of the 6 mythicals I'm missing from completing my Home dex

    From what I understand, you can't catch it, but if 1 million trainers beat it, everyone will be gifted a shiny one

    edit: The DLC download is now available

    I'm so happy to hear we'll be getting another Snap 2. The first one was so chill and unique that I wish I had a way for my kids to play it.

    PSA:
    The levels in Isle of Armor do NOT scale, like was reported

    I brought a lvl 8 Grookey and nothing else, and the first battle has a lvl 58 mon

    It might be like the Wild Area, where it gets locked to level 60 after you become champion

    Has anyone found a full list of returning Pokemon? Still early so it may not be available yet, but I assume data-miners are working to get that info.

  • TayaTaya Registered User regular
    Since people are going to be playing Sword and Shield again, I need a chipped pot. If anybody has one, I can trade you a Meltan or Mew or Zacian for keepsies (or whatever other Pokemon you may need.)

    I loved Pokémon Snap 20 years ago!

    But... my tastes have changed a bit in those 20 years, so I don't know if I'd still like it, you know? Then again, it has been a long time since I played Pokémon Snap maybe I'll think it refreshing or something.

    That would be most excellent. What do you want in return? I got loads of stuff.

    I'm tempted to start over in the game... If only because of the gym leader battle music.

    Yep, I hate GTS as much as I ever did.

    So I put up a legitimate Tornadus requesting a trade for a Thunderus as I was missing him to fill out my three weather God pokemon.

    Not long after someone takes me up on my offer but sends me a level 100 shiny in a master ball Thunderus that is 100% fake hacked garbage. So I lost all around. :mad:

    Well, chances are if you put the shiny one up asking for a normal one you'll get it.

    I will say that even with that, I'm a happy Pokemon fan. I never thought we would see the day they would do a new Pokemon Snap.

    I cannot wait for this! :D

    A new Pokemon Snap is a huge win, and I'm pretty stoked for whatever the big announcement set for next week is. I can only imagine it's something big if they didn't feel like it should be included in this set of announcements. Not gonna get my hopes up too much, but I am feeling pretty optimistic about it.

  • Jubal77Jubal77 Registered User regular
    It’s safe to say my hesitation on a dlc in Pokémon was not needed. This is just great content for the price.

  • Brainiac 8Brainiac 8 Don't call me Shirley... Registered User regular
    Yea, so far I'm really enjoying the Isle of Armor.

    As for next week, my guess is it'll be to announce the remakes of Diamond and Pearl.

    I think the Isle of Armor Pokedex might be a lil busted with Home. I transferred over a handful I knew were coming back, and they're showing as unseen and uncaught

  • IblisIblis Registered User regular
    Debating if I want to grab the DLC since apparently there is not level scaling, and seems to be set at a lower level if you have not beaten the game, and level 60+ if you have. Had kind of been hoping I could come in with a few low levels and build a new party for the DLC. Sure I could technically still build one, but kind of loses something when I’m not leveling them up from lower levels.

    I assume Snap 2 is gonna be all the new Pokemon I've never heard of, because I haven't played a Pokemon in probably over a decade if not two?

    Honestly, that sounds like a pretty great way to first see new Pokemon.

    uhh I guess the hardest to get legendary you're willing to trade permanently

    I'll have a look through my living national dex attempt on Home and see what I'm missing, it's mostly going to be event legends from gen 5 onwards, though I do know I'm missing Mew and Deoxys for sure because I used to have them but somehow lost them

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    Beating the legendary dog is a pain right now actually so I think I'm gonna play the expansion a bit to level up my Mons and then come back to them later

    Thought I was going crazy. Everyone was saying Zeraora raids aren't that hard, yet I kept getting destroyed

    Turns out, if you run into the shiny version, it's lvl 100 like the Mewtwo raid was

    oh thanks!

    well you can also have the chipped pot if you'd like an extra

    What’s the time investment to create another profile for the sole purpose of bee lining to the expansion to get a second kubfu for my living dex? I don’t care about getting both forms of urshifu.

    I believe you can go to the DLC area once you unlock the Wild Area in the base game, which is after the first gym I think, so not long at all

    Kubfu seems to come a little later, though. I've only played the DLC a little while, but haven't gotten it yet
