8+ years ago I began a journey. I said to myself "If I can ever reach 10k Subs, I'll be happy with my efforts." I set 100k as my 'stretch goal,' something I knew was highly unlikely, but a dream to aspire towards.
Today, we doubled that. I have no words; just endless gratitude.

After all of this is available, it *might* be a 'good' singular $60 game. Not $131-191+ USD (which increases by $41 per year)

I got very curious about a particular part in Chargestone Cave in B2/W2 when you hear a mysterious voice talking but aren't able to see who it is.
It's assumed/implied that it is N, but employing WTW codes I decided to check to verify...
Lo and behold, he actually is there!

If it is indeed true that there are only 400 Pokémon TOTAL in Sw/Sh, then that means there are significantly more Pokémon NOT in the game than those that are.
That is TRASH. It's worse than most of us were even thinking when we were already upset

For further readers' context: in Platinum Bebe gifts you Eevee at lvl 20, past the level at which Leafeon learns Razor Leaf (15). But at least you can get Eevee before postgame.. unlike in D/P.

On Sep 8th, 1998, I was first introduced to Pokémon through the eyes of Ash Ketchum.
25 years later, I wasn't quite expecting to be so emotional at his departure but... I guess it makes sense. Without that moment my life would be fundamentally different.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet sold 10M copies in 3 days - the single biggest Nintendo game launch EVER. It's very likely that by now, a mere 6 days after release, they have surpassed ALL-TIME sales of each:
- HG/SS
- FR/LG
- US/UM
- B2/W2
- Platinum
- Emerald
- Crystal

Although I knew it was coming, his departure's gonna hit hard.
