    All I can think about when I hear this song is how it would be a perfect theme for a stadium battle in Sword and Shield. It even has crowd sound effects. In my headcanon, this is the theme other trainers hear when they challenge me and my Gigantamax Butterfree in the Champion Cup.

    Now that I think about it, I wonder why there are few games were you can use a custom soundtrack. The only ones that come to mind are Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle and J-Stars Victory VS.

    Does anyone else find it hard to stick to one playthrough at a time, sometimes? I'm in the middle of a Sword playthrough but now I'm getting the urge to start Omega Ruby again...

    I definitely experience early/mid-game disinterest a lot more these days - nowadays I revisit games to create quite specific experiences (such as a Nuzlocke or solo run) and once I've gotten the gist of it there's often little point in seeing it through to the end.

    I try not to as I know if I do it leads me to have a bunch of games left incomplete for ages unless I desperately feel the urge to go back to them.

    I'm lucky if I can even make it to the start of all the playthroughs that I sit and plan out! It's like part of me really wants to delve into another go with Sword, but then there's another part of me that has developed team plans for a run through *all* of the 3DS titles... while I'm already playing Sword with my wife and Ultra Sun on my own! So who knows how many of these plans will even come to fruition.

    (In my defense, my current Ultra Sun playthrough has an explicit purpose; I'm trying to discover and document all of the sub-events that are scattered throughout the game. I have not been able to find a comprehensive list of them online, nor have I experienced them all for myself, so I decided to take matters into my own hands... except it didn't take long for me to remember how much I like the Alola games, causing me to get sucked into the playthrough more earnestly. The outfit I created for the protagonist is so cute! And I like taking pictures here and there with the Poké Finder/Alola Photo Club. All that stuff is making me take a lot longer than I would have if I had just stuck to the mission, lol.)

    I am worried about joy con drift because I make lots of curries.

    I'm used to playing with the joycon drift, it may seem annoying sometimes, but the only reason why I didn't send my joycons to Nintendo to fix again or bought new ones is because they haven't permanently fixed the issue.

    Yeah, it almost doesn't seem worth repairing or replacing them if the same problem could occur again. Plus the fact, if I send my joy cons off for repair I won't be able to play my games until they come back! I've found ways of adapting to the drifting - for example, sometimes I'll wait a few seconds before selecting a move to make sure it isn't going to drift and make me choose the wrong one. Occasionally, the drifting actually works in my favour - I was in the Wild Area and my character started running forwards on his own, and I was able to "steer" using just the right stick (this has actually always been my preferred way to navigate the Wild Area, but usually I would have to push the left stick forwards as well).

    Scrolling through menus can be a pain, but they've never been the most exciting part of the game anyway. It's been an intermittent problem for me: I get more drifting on some days than others.

    I just realized that all the Pokemon getting Galarian forms in the Crown Tundra (Slowking and the legendary birds) had prominent roles in The Power of One. Are Game Freak paying homage to the movie or is it just a coincidence?

    Probably just a coincidence. I mean, Slowking was a given since Slobro got one.

    That's true, they have improved in the dub. During DP they would always do those annoying rhyming cheers and alliterations. A lot of people worried that they would do the same in BW even though they're supposed to be serious. But the dub has them as serious as they are in the Japanese version.

    Team Rocket completely changed in BW. It's like they're different people now. Just watch an episode and you'll see for yourself.

    Seeing as how you replaced the image of Turtwig that said don't hotlink you continued any way. Don't be lazy.
