I am autistically annoyed that the new Dex goes to 240 instead of 250, and that Iron Leaves and Walking Wake inexplicably don't count for some reason.

But yeah, DLC was pretty meh. A mini Elite Four situation, a trek through a new section of Area Zero that wasn't nearly as neat as the vanilla game, and Terapagos was underwhelming and the story just felt incomplete.

You can tell the Gamefreak staff is horribly overworked. I've adopted the schizo theory that the treatment of Kieran throughout the story was some sort of cry for help. Kid just can't catch a break.

A few SV events have been announced for the Christmas season.
  • A new 7-star raid will be taking place between December 22nd (00:00 UTC) and December 24th (23:59 UTC), the featured Pokémon is an Ice Tera Type Iron Bundle with a Mightiest Mark. It can be caught once per save file.
  • A third run of Walking Wake/Iron Leaves raids will be taking place between December 25th (00:00 UTC) through and January 7th 2024 (23:59 UTC). Like the last two runs it can only be caught once per save file.
  • A Special Mass Outbreak event will feature Delibird with an increased Shiny chance, it will take place between December 22nd (00:00 UTC) and December 24th 2023 (23:59 UTC) and Delibird spawns will appear on all three maps. If you like to abuse the Item Printer I strongly recommend that you abuse these outbreaks when they happen, Delibird Presents have a 54% material yield and only a few other TM Materials top that number.
  • Another Mass Outbreak event featuring Dratini, Jangmo-o, and Duraludon will take place between December 25th (00:00 UTC) and January 3rd 2024 (23:59 UTC) and the Pokémon will have a higher chance of being found with the Joyous Mark. Dratini can be found in Paldea, Jangmo-o can found in Kitakami, and Duraludon can be found in the Terarium. Like the Delibird Outbreaks I recommend that you abuse these ones too. Dratini Scales and Jangmo-o Scales each have a 45% Material yield while Duraludon Tarnish has a 54% Material yield.

Not in the base game, sadly. You can rebattle the Gym Leaders and Paldea Elite Four using the League Club though, you just have to invite them over as special coaches. Thankfully there isn't a limit on those battles.

Galar had the grand tournament as a redeeming quality, that was great for grinding up your IV/EV maxed team while farming money to buy the ability capsules and nature changing items.

It's just getting worse with every generation.

Gamefreak and Nintendo are on absolute damage control regarding the leaks, trying to DMCA everything. They definitely have some big plans, and by big I mean ones that will charge your wallet like never before in order to get the "full experience"

I really dislike all the videos now in my feed of ‘do this before Bank closes’ for all of the comments saying ‘why can’t Nintendo keep it up forever? Multi Billion dollar company etc’. As if the comenters actually care about their old mons, as if Nintendo hasn’t changed hardware since the 3DS. As if you can’t get most if not all the mons in the Switch games and the mythicals you can’t get are clearly due a showing up in the next two mainline remakes we’ll get in the next 5 years to say nothing of any Let’s Go or Legends like games to get Celebi.

Saying ‘hey move stuff just in case with everything on the 3DS but Bank shutting down’ makes sense. Otherwise they’d bitch that Nintendo/GF wasn’t telling them anything and they’d be worried about that.

To be fair, they’ve kind of got to be.

Since when is Pokemon Bank closing? I thought they were going to keep it up for the foreseeable future, you just can't download it anymore since it was on the e-shop that's since closed down

They aren’t closing. Their was just a Play Pokemon mentioning everything else but Bank is closing and that people should transfer while they can. And people have freaked the fuck out. Because most Pokemon fans are retarded.

Speaking of the bank, I noticed that my second 3DS has the bank app but not the transfer one for Gen 5 games. Am I fucked? I also have that Dream Game that lets you get extra stuff in Black/White 2 but they're both on another 3DS, would sure love to transfer both of them over without jaibreaking my 3DS

as long as you have Bank you can download Transporter as far as I’m aware.
 
Well I just beat Lacey, Crispin, and Amarys recently. My team did okay when facing Lacey but Crispin was a breeze.
Lacey kind of caught me by surprise and I only won because Orthworm clutched a win thanks to Terastallizing into a Water-type and landing a OHKO on her Fairy Tera Type Excadrill. Murkrow didn't really perform as well as I'd liked it to, I think that was in part due to it being the wrong battle for it but it did help in stalling her Whimsicott. Another issue I had was me failing to use an Ability Patch on my Cyclizar, leaving it stuck with Shed Skin, before starting The Indigo Disk. Thankfully that was something I could easily fix after the match.

Crispin was easier thanks to me correcting a mistake with Cyclizar and using it in a combination with Orthworm, essentially letting it set up two incoming Pokémon with a substitute. After that it was just being smart with Gliscor, Glimmora, and Tyranitar.

I had to fight Amarys twice due to my game glitching out but the results were similar: Murkrow proved to be really helpful thanks to packing a Prankster-boosted Taunt and going with the bulkier Eviolite-supported build made it tanks some moves that would OHKO other Pokémon and Chandelure still takes names. The only difference was how the matches progressed (the first match had Chandelure sweep a good portion of Amarys' team with a defensive Tera Grass Type and some well-placed moves while the second had Gliscor tanking a good amount of hits and dish out some serious damage in return) and how it ended (the first match had Sandy Shocks OHKOing a Tera Steel Type Metagross with a critical, Expert Belt-boosted Earth Power and the second one had Gliscor's Earthquake put Metagross in the red with Murkrow dealing a KO via Foul Play).
Drayton's listed as a Dragon-type Trainer so I'm assuming he's a more offensive team but I'm honestly more worried about the Gym Trial.

Given Kieran's behavior in the ID I can only assume he'll run a bunch of top-tier VGC Pokémon with Hydrapple thrown in for theming.
Oh, and my current Shiny count has been boosted by two. I caught a Shiny Comfey (a Pokémon I actually wanted to hunt, built a Sparkling Power Lv. 3 sandwich for, and failed to catch with said sandwich's power) and another Shiny Milcery from an event Outbreak.

It appears that Starters can appear in the Mass Outbreaks found in the Terarium when you unlock them, one of the daily Outbreaks that showed up in my game one of 'em was a Litten Outbreak.

And in my quest to thin out said Outbreak, I found a Shiny Alolan Graveler.
