[Hype Thread] 06 July 2025

Welcome to the HYPE THREAD, a place to share your excitement about in-game achievements, brag about success, and get hyped for upcoming events. CAPS LOCK IS OPTIONAL IF IT HELPS YOU GET YOUR HYPE ON!

This is a chance to post about your successes. Our rules against self-promotion and most low-quality content, including shiny Pokemon pics, are relaxed in these threads--please talk all you like about your luck and accomplishments!

This thread is meant to be pretty positive, so please think twice before downvoting someone! Rude and negative comments will be removed -- please report them if you see them :D

Played through Sword and Shield for the first time since avoiding the switch titles for years due to the negative sentiment around them.

Gotta say I had fun. Sure it’s got issues but I like the game for what it is. The gym battles are some of the best in the series, if not the best.

I went straight into Leon under prepared and under leveled, and I had one of the best battles I’ve had in a long time. My last Pokémon vs his last Pokémon and my last Pokémon only survived because he held on at 1hp so he didn’t make me sad. I normally hate that mechanic but in this instance it felt really cool to win the battle.

Now I’m messing around with the battle tower, and I might actually try to EV train some Pokémon and take the tower on. I haven’t felt compelled to do that in years so the game must be doing something right.

Can’t wait to try the DLC next!
