    I feel fairly certain that you will be able to trade everything across versions. So yeah, should be very easy to get the ones not in your game. Even more so once Home support is added and offers a non-shitty trade method. I assume SV is just gonna have SwSh/BDSP/Arceus levels of garbage "enter a link code" trading.. Still no idea why they regressed from the GTS after gen 7 and left it exclusive to Home... I guess it's easier to regulate in one place like that, considering Sun & Moon's is flat out broken due to hackers and X&Y's is full of a bunch of garbage entries that crash the game (but only if you try to trade, not if you "look" at them like S&M)

    From the previous leaks I've heard the impression I get is no, you catch them (but I don't know for sure, this is just what it sounded like to me). Based on some of the official stuff they just released about the donphanns coming from the unexplored region of Paldea or whatever it said, I'm guessing all of this stuff is in the big cloud area in the center. Maybe that whole area is like one giant space-time distortion from Legends Arceus :P

    I heard there were no nurseries in the games and you only get eggs through sex picnics. So I wonder how convoluted breeding is going to be this time around. It's annoying HOME won't be working til next year because it would save so much time making competitive stuff.

    This is correct. I was worried the same thing - that it sounds more complicated. But I don't know the details - maybe there's some way to designate which two pokemon "get busy" so it's basically a faster daycare? (I assume you could limit your party to two pokes but I dunno if there's ways to compel eggs or if you're required to go to such lengths)

    This would be easier to stomach if they weren't going to take months and months to link it with Home.

    My poor primeape. She's been with me since I came back to the series with Gen V but she's not even going to be the first primeape I evolve. ;_;

    Hmm...I wonder if they would make a decent eviolite candidate.

    It seems like these are basic pokemon not evolutions in the traditional sense? It's not clear yet

    Accidentally picked a pokemon another guy wanted becuase he had low HP (I wasn't paying attention, would have let him have it if I had noticed they were in bad shape), he ended up disconnecting/rage quitting I guess afterwards to end the dynamax adventure run right before the legendary.

    I could understand if they were annoyed but stuff like that, don't take it on the other two players aswell.

    Something important though is that it's also not step-based or anything. It's now something that you can literally just set up for when you're AFK, and then come back later and pick up like ten eggs if you were gone for a while.

    Same, I've been waiting for a Diancie for so long. I'm hoping because of the Terastallize gimmick in SV turning every Pokemon into crystal we might be due for a Diancie giveaway

    Shiny Grovyle is the latest Dynamax adventure booty to go along with the shiny driftloom I got about a month back.

    I think I'm really going to miss this mode. If they add it to S/V eventually and rework it with the faster flow of tera battles, It could be quite good.

    The only really downside to it is that like a lot of dynamax fights or I guess SWSH in general, it can still feel pretty slow. Fix that and its golden.

    Can you though? I really need more details. Like, it could be limited to one egg per picnic which would be god-awful. I would not be surprised if Pokemon company implemented it the dumbest way possible - they have a tendency to take steps backwards frequently :/

    I guess we'll find out soon, or maybe we already know, I've been avoiding those people who have the full game already :P Speaking of which, totally saw a youtube thumbnail with Quaxly's final evo ON the thumbnail over the weekend. I've already spoiled myself on this so it's "fine" but god I hate those people. KEEP SPOILERS OUT OF THUMBNAILS YOU JERKS!

    Mechanic spoiler (a basic one but a cool one)
    there's actually ongoing reward system for pokedex entries. Like every few you get a new reward of increasing quality and some very good stuff too!

    Person said even the different ball rewards will be available earlier than you would otherwise get them naturally so its actually pretty worthwhile.

    BDSP has like, lame multiplayer. Like, you can battle other people and trade. That's about it. It's very barebones and even less than SwSh had I think (in terms of battle options and stuff). It's all done in a little "meeting room" thing.

    I guess you could also consider the Grand Underground multiplayer? In that you can see other people and they can help you chisel stuff... I think you can trade or whatever with them there too. But largely it's non-interactive.

    I dunno, I love all three starters which is kind of rare. Usually there's at least one (and it's usually the water one) that I hate :P (I have since come around on Popplio) But no, Quaxly is great :3 (I make no promises for his evolution :P)

    Based on that lineup of starting zone mons, Pawmi is still very meh to me (yet another Pikachu clone). Lechonk and Smoliv are both great tho. I haven't spoiled myself with Smoliv's evolution so I'm a bit excited to see what it looks like (I'm assuming some sort of olive tree).

    Yeah, I'm avoiding spoilers but I'm thinking I may drop the starter this time around. Got Armarogue/Ceruledge to use for Fire type, Smoliv for Grass (I assume? I don't think I've seen its typing confirmed, but I mean come on), and I'm sure I'll find a Water type that will appeal to me.

    My problem is always that I usually like the grass starters, and then there are a BAZILLION good grass mons in the wild very early on and it's like, come on game. Like, even this time, taking Sprigatito kind of excludes me using Smoliv and it's like, why are all the grass pokemon cool? :( Meanwhile fire and water are usually saved for more mid-game-ish (and occasionally getting a fishing rod) and sometimes even have extra typings that still make them work if you picked one of those two starters.

    That said, I 100% want to use derp crab on my team. Love that thing. May need to go the "lore" route first to get that thing.

    Thats a fair point!

    I usually end up not having a grass poke on my team without a grass starter but I love grass moves so I'm always left a bit wanting.

    I'm also noticing that like every poke I like in this game(aside from cover legendary) is a physical mon... uh oh.

    I won't lie, I love the shit out of Fuecoco's final evo. I heard people were hating on it and I flat out don't get it. It was *almost* enough to get me to switch from Sprigatito but her final evo is pretty great too.
