SwSh Sword/Shield Discussion Navigation Thread (updated 17th November)

[Pyrax]

Following the latest closure of the speculation thread, the VG staff and forum admins have decided to drop it in favour of specialized threads. We believe this method makes it much easier to stay on-topic and find relevant conversations. If you feel a certain topic isn't present, feel free to start a new thread and ask us to add it to the list.

• Want to log your progress? We have a travelog thread right here.
• Have an ingame question? Ask in the SQSA thread.
• Need a trade? We have a focused trading thread for Gen VIII!
• Want to build your team? We have a team crafting thread.
• Want to discuss the new region? Visit the Galar Region Thread.
• Want to discuss the starters? Visit the Starters Discussion Thread.
• Want to discuss Gen VIII Pokémon? Visit the New Pokémon Species Thread.
• Want to discuss legendaries? Visit the Legendary Speculation Thread.
• Want to discuss the Pokédex? Visit the Regional Dex Discussion Thread.
• Want to discuss Giganto/Dynamax? Visit the Dynamax Thread.
• Want to discuss Gyms? Visit the Gyms Speculation Thread.
• Want to discuss the games' music? Visit the OST Thread.
• Want to discuss Pokémon Home? We have a thread for that.

Note:

• We'd rather you not post links to 4chan or its archives so we're not sending users to sites that clash with our policies. Screenshots are okay, assuming the content aligns with our rules and standards. Screenshots or imgur links are fine.
• Please remember to keep larger images under spoiler tags for people with slower connections.
• If possible, please summarize videos you post. This is more for the convenience of people on slower connections, as well as anyone not wanting to sift through clickbait or irrelevant information.
• Please source ALL fanart you post, so as to respect the original artist. You can find the source through Yandex, SauceNAO or Google Images.
