      its rather how the game could never have been. wouldnt have profited from that and if we had all the pokemon in it, there would be no fun in this experience.
      Also it would be too big for a main game, unless we do a gen 3 and just have much water and multiple isle of armor like islands - maybe for the next gen :D

They removed this (and GTS) so either pay $30 for expansion pass as an in-game way to get past mons or pay for pkmn bank to get them off your 3DS into pkmn home both each cost money. F2P Home is so limited its not even worth anything. Doing these things is how it became even more profitable as you say.

    Aside from some minor quality of life stuff that SWSH already didn’t have, my only “issue” with the DLC was the lack of new galarian forms/new Pokémon. Aside from that, the dlc is already worth it, or at least it will be when the second half is released

    I watched a livestream of this one and can say while there are some neatly animated lil cutscenes with Kubfu and master Mustard, I felt that like the vanilla game this one felt way too compacted in written content. I always feel like that the whole Galar region and their characters do have potential for interesting lore but it's just brushing off a lot of details and make for a shallow experience.
    I understand that the main focus seems to be the competetive and multiplayer aspect beyond that, but for me that still somewhat also felt not done well enough. Weird restrictions in the online play, the already lackluster Nintendo Online performance, the fact how easy it seems to be for people to hack into the game, makes me just doesn't convince me to get a subscription for the service.
    People will enjoy the little gifts and benefits that you receive if you take part in the multiplayer stuff, I guess and while I like the focus on the partner Pokémon Kubfu here (shame there is nothing comparable in the main story that showcases the bond between the protagonist and his partner of choice; not necessarily refering to any of the starters, could be whatever if they could have scripted it neatly enough), I think overall there is not enough content for me personally to warrant that extra purchase. Heck, I was lucky to get a copy of Shield in a raffle and thought it was just okay of a Pokémon experience. There were just too many offputting flaws that left a bad taste with me. If I wouldn't have engaged in taking the best aspects of the game like the Pokémon designs and the idea of what SwSh are supposed to be, then I'd just have came to the conclusion that it wouldn't have been worth buying.

    It’s interesting that you say the battles look great, because i found them very static looking. You see such interesting and personality filled animations of the Pokémon walking around in the overworld, and then as soon as you start battle they just sorta stand there blankly bobbing up and down. Even in black and white they had different animations depending on the amount of hp you had left. I really wanted to love these games, but they really left me wanting more. And it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to get what I’m looking for in the dlc

Features like changing your bike, Pokemon following you, the different landscapes in the wild area and the Gigantamax forms really should all have been part of the base game to begin with. Why is the only Wild Area accessible to me absolutely bland and boring, while this new one, albeit not looking better graphically, has much more variety and detail? Why should Pokemon following the player be a DLC exclusive thing?

    My take: If you liked the main Sw/Sh games, you'll like this. If you disliked the main game, this won't change your opinion. The rivals are ABSOLUTE TRASH, Both Klara and Avery. Other than that, the characters are quite enjoyable. It is fairly short, but there are tons of Pokemon to catch, such as JIGGLYPUFF!!! The thing is what the main Wild Area could only dream to be, and you're encouraged to find every nook and cranny by filling up what I call "The Diglidex", and it also gives you some Alolan form Pokemon. Among many other changes and features, I had fun with the dlc, and it even tells you that SONIA WILL BE IN THE WINTER TUNDRA so if you liked the main game, check this out.

Most of the life improvements are things that should have been in the base game and there's absolutely no reason why they weren't. DLC brings 109 new Pokemon. 105 of them are literally old pokémon they removed from the base game so they could sell back to us. Two of them a slow poke and slow bro are just new versions of old pokémon. That means we have two new Pokemon out of 109. You can now get a special soup to giantimax your starter Pokemon and any Pokemon that was could be giantmax but it didn't have the ability. Why the hell is that not in the base. The only really good part of this DLC was the island itself. all the other good parts are clearly were removed from the base game so they could be sold back to us game freak should be ashamed of themselves

    @renswisse 3 роки тому

    It's like a much better thought out version of the Wild Area. It feels much the same, yet it has a much wider variety.
    The Wild Area in the main game was mostly just green fields and lakes, broken up only by the canyon outside Hammerlocke. The variety in Pokémon there was primarily guided by the dynamic weather. The more biome-related spawns were left to the classic routes, which each had a distinct theme centered around a particular biome.
    The Isle of Armour, however, combines these two ideas into one much better. It genuinely feels like you are going through very different types of areas, instead of just seeing the same scenery all over. Sometimes it's a sea, sometimes it's a cave, a forest, a desert etc.
    And yet, it still feels like a completely open area to explore, just like the Wild Area, but also incorporates the themed nature of the various routes in Galar. I honestly hope they keep Pokémon games that way in the future, because never before did I feel like I was interacting with Pokémon in their wild, untamed habitats to the same level as I did here. It all feels much more natural and organic than in the base game. It makes sense why certain Pokémon are in a particular spot.
    The Pokémon following you was a cool surprise. I was dissapointed you can only do it on the Isle of Armour, though. It works nowhere else, not even the Wild Area. This feature lacks the level of polish and environmental context that it had in Let's GO Pikachu/Eevee. Still a cool addition, however. It does add to the more naturalistic feel of this area.
    My only major gripe was the fact that quite a bit of the Pokémon species on the Isle of Armour are already available in the main game. It feels like such wasted potential, especially after the controversial decision to leave so many old Pokémon unobtainable in Sword and Shield. Having already seen a million Chewtles and Roggenrolas doesn't really make you excited to see them again. I already had a good chunk of the Island's Pokédex filled out because I already completed the Galar Pokédex months ago. The old species that do make their first appearance in Galar are well-chosen, however, with many of my favourites making a return. There's also easier acccess to the various regional variants previously only obtainable through Pokémon Home, such as the Alolan Meowth, the Unovan Darumaka and the Kantonian Slowpoke. Speaking of Slowpoke: it's the only Pokémon, along with its evolutions, that has gotten Galarian variants. I really was hoping for at least two or three more, especially seeing how great the existing Galarian Forms are, but alas.
    Overall, great package, especially considering we get even more of it this fall with no additional price tag attached. It would definitely be interesting to replay the main game at that point with access to so much more diversity in creatures.

      You can bring whoever. I only kept one of my high level guys with me, and trained 5 new pokémon I caught while roaming around.
      Also kubfu is the only pokémon you can have in your party once you begin the Tower trial for evolving it. You get kubfu at lv 10, and the Tower trial has trainers with pokémon between levels 60 and 70. So there's actually a good challenge there with grinding levels and all
      Only tip i have is just don't cheese leveling up kubfu with exp candies and you'll get a lot more out of the experience :)

    Evolving Kubfu if the point of this DLC and it’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done in a Pokémon game. They might as well have added Urshifu as an even Mon in a raid den, since that’s the only challenging part of the game (if you don’t do invite others to help). The entire thing is just a glorified wild area. I get that it’s a child’s game but so we’re the older titles. I felt way more accomplishment beating games like Ruby and sapphire because they weren’t easy.

      Both DLCs lead to one story or plot. The reason why is because of the Galarian Star Tournament. Both of these DLCs are basically training places.(I think) Also notice how at some point you see Gym leaders at the isle of armor, it’s because of the Galarian Star Tournament. Since the Isle of Armor is a training Isle it makes sense. I don’t know what The Crown Tundra’s purpose is but idk.

    A lot of effort went into this DLC and I enjoyed it for what it is but it definitely feels like they are responding to the criticisms they got of Sword and Shield with certain touches, like a more dynamic wild area and making it the entire map. Also letting Pokemon follow you is cute even though the execution was truly unimpressive to say the least. I hope the next pack is good and they carry all of the lessons they seem to be learning into the next main entry game.
