LET'S GET HYPED!!!!
gonna be chasing the high I felt yesterday for a while of finally finding XD and being able to drop $200 on it without hesitating. I’ve been looking for it for months
On what?
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!
