That title screen lmao

Edit: Now that I think about it, this doesn't fit this thread but I don't know where to post it soooo...

Is it bad that I prefer the beta logo to the one we got?

I'm genuinely irritated it seems we're not gonna be able to play the DLC until very late in the day.

It has to drop the same time worldwide, looking at the windows for different time zones I think they’ve picked a pretty fair slot.

I will be waking up and possibly playing Crown Tundra (it will be between 1000 Friday morning and 1500 Friday afternoon here in Melbourne - I am in UTC+1100 by the way). Best way to convert times is Time Zone Map for everyone out there.

Obligatory joke about how the beta looks better than the final product (it doesn't).

 

[Boss1708]

Final product >>> Beta

Last-second prediction: a while back I mentioned that thing about how Hyde seems to tease that he's working on a more efficient way to produce Apricorn Balls so maybe they'll be regular rewards for competing in the Galarian Star Tournament. Mustard seemed to know about the plans in advance at the end of IOA so maybe he tasked Hyde with coming up with a cool reward system (and this could also be seen as an upgrade of the current reward system for the Champion tournaments which can very rarely distribute Apricorn Balls)

What is Arceus even doing there? None of the event legends are in SwSh!

A few of them actually are, but more to the point, that's just a very early placeholder title screen so you probably shouldn't read into it too much. Plus, those are all Pokémon from previous generations, which makes one wonder where many of the new Pokémon are in terms of finalization.

The ROM that's been leaking has several Pokémon that didn't make the final cut (but as I understand it, only a small handful of Pokémon in total), but that doesn't mean those Pokémon were actually ready for proper implementation. These are just development builds used for testing.

Do you mind telling us where we can take a look?

Eeveely's post on the previous page already linked to the Centro thread (though I think the leak is primarily being disseminated on 4chan?) but here's someone doing more of a breakdown analysis

While organizing my boxes to get ready to import some of my older Pokemon into SwSh tonight, I found out that a lot of the legendaries signature moves are listed as unusable. So Origin pulse? Gone. Oblivion wing? Gone? Dragon ascent? Gone. Dammit Gamefreak.

Maybe they will be back after the update.

The only one I don't see coming back is Dragon Ascend.

They will be restored, just as the likes of Accelerock and Shadow Bone were when the Pokémon that those moves belong to were re-added in the Isle of Armor. We've already seen Yveltal using Oblivion Wing in one of the trailers, along with Lugia using Aeroblast, Groudon using Precipice Blades, and Giratina using Shadow Force.

A lot of the moves that are "inaccessible" are not truly inaccessible in the same way as Return, Hidden Power, Bubble, etc., which have their effects completely removed and their description text replaced with an standard insistence on deletion. If you look at this list, the moves that have a red X next to them will be restored if/when the Pokémon that use that move is brought back. If there is a green ✓, then they might not be restored (although they did fully restore Kinesis, which was one of these moves, when they brought back the Abra family in IOA).

HOME maintenance has begun

Still hasn't been released for me.

 

[wanderist]

It is live now. Downloading it now. Thank goodness it wasn't releasing at 12 AM EST like people were saying.

 

[swiftgallade46]

Good lord they released this late. It’s not even October 22nd anymore in some parts of the world. They really should have provided a time...
