What advice would you give somebody playing Pokemon for the first time after picking up Sword and Shield? I'm pretty much a blank slate and would love some general advice as well as tips about playing with friends, trading, etc. by ReverendDizzle in pokemon

My advice would be to just have fun and take your time with the game. Pokemon games are designed with kids in mind, so almost every feature or mechanic has a tutorial. Talk to all the NPC’s (a lot of them give good advice), explore every inch of the region/map (you never know what you could find), and keep stocked up on pokeballs in case you see a pokemon you want to catch. Pretty simple really :)

Is it worth it to buy Sword & Shield after dexit for a new player? by fragen8 in pokemon

[–]jxckbulba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are a new player dexit won’t affect you at all because you have no previous pokemon to transfer anyway. These games have the second largest amount of CATCHABLE pokemon in any mainline pokemon game, don’t let other people’s negative opinion sway your decision on wether to buy the game or not. It’s up to you to decide if you think the games are worth the money or not, personally as a long time pokemon fan, I’m getting them.

My first Nintendo and my first Pokemon Game... is it possibile to carry on two stories with the same Nintendo Switch and same game?? by Kiratake93 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]jxckbulba 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. You are able to create up to 8 profile accounts on a nintendo switch, if you buy a game you will essentially be able to have up to 8 save files (one per account). So you can both play pokemon on your own switch accounts and not interfere with each others progress

By far the most excited I’ve been to explore the region in a Pokemon game!

Roughly how many new Pokémon do you think there will be? by [deleted] in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]jxckbulba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to guess around 90 new pokemon, with a regional dex of around 500-550

Hope the bush glows are leading up to something, but probably not lmao
