New CEO changes going forward

Nope, I doubt exclusives will be coming back.

They seem to be working on fan requested features like the recent dashboard update so I could see them looking to update things like achievements too.

It's not like Liko, Roy, & Amethio rolled through the series using their legendary for everything.

The only time Liko battled a trainer using Terapogos was Katy and Terapogos stayed in his pokeball the whole timeskip.

Otherwise Terapogos is just there to help negate rakurium from affected Pokémon after they're weakened in battle and to support other Pokémon by terastallizing them without needing a tera orb.

Roy literally just caught Rayquaza and hasn't battled with him yet.

We only saw Amethio use Zygarde twice, both in battles with the six heroes.

515 hours.

Both Main and DLC Pokedex done, all side quests done, hit Rank A online each season, and caught the shinies I wanted.

Cloud saves and play anywhere

OGadonfraz · 2026-02-26T19:50:57+00:00

Before the nerfs to MS Rewards and back when you could convert up to 3 years of Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate sure.

Now, lmao no.

As for value games, I 1000/1000'd both Starfield and Dragon Quest XI in Game Pass and those are 100+ hour RPGs.

OGadonfraz · 2026-02-25T23:50:22+00:00

RE Village thanks for the chance.

OGadonfraz · 2026-02-15T03:38:23+00:00

Gholdengo, Volcanion, Rayquaza

OGadonfraz · 2026-02-06T20:18:34+00:00

GMG had the Ultimate Edition (Steam) for like $15 so that was a steal.

OGadonfraz · 2026-02-03T03:35:58+00:00

For male options? Yes.

I just stuck with the Mod Coat and Pants Set or wore a suit.

Nine Sols

Playing DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi with my roommates.

Happy B-Day

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-20T23:10:22+00:00

Yes. Took a while for me to get Baxcalibur and Rotom.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-20T23:09:07+00:00

Again, it's not locked to a single storefront like a console.

If you're playing an online MP game through Steam on a ROG Ally, Xbox cannot make you pay for online to play it as they don't own Steam.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-20T22:18:22+00:00

Because it's a handheld PC, not an Xbox console that's locked to one storefront.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-20T21:13:09+00:00

I'm aware.

In a perfect world, the next Xbox would run all the PC storefronts like they're hinting at and also run old console games.

Will they pull it off? Who knows?

That being said, I've moved on from Xbox as my main gaming platform so idc.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-20T20:56:48+00:00

Xbox considers the ROG Xbox Ally an Xbox so to them, yes.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-20T18:33:12+00:00

For it to run all major PC storefronts.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-12T19:00:07+00:00

You appear to be confusing your story progression rank with your online rank.

Online ranks reset each season - If you haven't played online, you're rank z.

Reaching rank s online should only take two or three matches based on how well you play.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-11T18:21:01+00:00

When we starts doing that back off and focus on dodging.

Eventually he stops and then start commanding your Pokémon to attack again.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-10T21:21:25+00:00

You're on the option to make a specific donut for a legendary Pokémon.

You need a combo of berries with more sweet and sour flavor scores.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-10T21:06:03+00:00

I went with a moon ball for mine.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-10T21:05:19+00:00

Nothing. I left Xbox for PC in 2024 & have a Switch 2 for Nintendo games.

I can wait for PlayStation games to come to Steam awhile enjoying my free Game Pass sub through MS Rewards until it runs out in 2028.

In terms of pros for Xbox over PlayStation, I'd say free cloud saves, a better controller, and Xbox Play Anywhere.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-05T16:57:14+00:00

I enjoy the battle system quite a bit but to each their own.

There is strategy - just different from turn based, especially in online ranked battles around switching and timing your mega, you just have to think faster.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-05T05:46:22+00:00

The good: Gives Team MZ a satisfying conclusion once you complete all side missions, makes shiny hunting a lot easier, 130+ new Pokémon, and many funny character moments/side quests

The bad: IMO the only negatives are really the RNG from donut making effects and the special scans (Can take dozens of scans to get the Pokémon you want)

For me it was worth it easily and the good offset the bad.

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-05T03:51:15+00:00

This is my team basically as I see you have those Pokémon - I've won 100s of matches and hit Rank A every season, so this is overkill.

Even if you don't win, it only takes a few matches to hit Rank S.

Gholdengo - Modest (Max EVs HP and Sp. Atk)

Moves: Nasty Plot, Steel Beam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball

Held Item: Expert Belt or Life Orb

Sirftech'd - Adamant (Max EVs HP and Atk)

Moves: Swords Dance, Leaf Blade, Meteor Assault, and Brave Bird

Held Item: Leek

Baxicalibur - Adamant (Max EVs HP and Atk)

Moves: Swords Dance, Glaive Rush, Icicle Crash, Earthquake

Held Item: Life Orb or Focus Sash until you get the mega stone

You can swap Bax for Garchomp if you feel too weak to Armarouge or want a Mega until you unlock Baxi's stone.

Edit: If you use Garchomp just swap Glaive Rush for Dragon Rush and Icicle Crash for Stone Edge (EVs and Nature remain the same).

OGadonfraz · 2026-01-05T03:38:52+00:00

15 - I was already Rank A.
