Did any of the patches actually fixed the graphics or that rumor where the game crashes if you've left it running for a few hours?

Both the Switch games have massive optimization problems and Gen 9 has confirmed memory leaks. I've also read that both have save issues that could potentially brick your Switch and there is no fixing that, it's a hardware issue that Gamefreak was too incompetent to get around(every other studio has, funnily enough). I'm sure fanboys have their copes about all these points, just like there is massive amount of cope over the DLC format being "not as bad as it looks"(that conversation took me back straight to 201
. I'm pretty sure graphics are largely untouched by patches. I say "largely" because allegedly Gamefreak did fix up THAT tree, you know, the one taken straight from Ocarina of Time
Graphics aren't even the real issue, bigger deal breaker for me is the pathetic draw distance that is either the same or even worse than in the 3DS games, and the pathetically small Pokemon compared to their real sizes(Onix/Steelix and Wailord are top suspects).

That's hardly anything new with some of the fancier switch games.
But fortunately, I've been kind of lucky with my copy of Sword. Although graphically speaking, it just felt largely static and the draw distance is "cleverly" hidden by the camera angles when it's noticeable within your starting village.

Draw distance is a deal breaker for me. I could tolerate it in the portable games, but on a proper console? Please.
This is why I wouldn't play this game even if dexit didn't happen, it's a disgrace. The only reason I will ever play Sword or Shield is if there is a mod on an emulator where I can properly see everything load in, like in any game with functioning LOD. Not like I am missing out on anything here if a mod like that doesn't exist.
Edit: I was right, Jirachi is placed in place of Celebii despite the game informing you otherwise
Here is Cape Brink, which also has a Jirachi. This error makes Celebi technically unobtainable without editing the table directly.
Fat-fingered mistake probably, note that there is no unique Pokemon from other regions in the table here, like in the rest of the romhack so far.
As you can see, I already edited the romhack to include Celebii in the Berry Forest, altho I cannot add an encounter, sadly. I wanted to include a few more exotic Pokemon like Seedots for wasting my time, but apparently you can only edit existing ones, not add new encounters. Likely a memory related issue. Using the same program I can confirm that Mew is on Treasure Beach(for some reason) and Moltres/Entei are in Mt. Ember.
Sad that I have to delve into the code and manually fix this myself, but at least this wasn't a big error.

To this day I may still associate Red Version with no Sandshrew, and Blue Version with yes Sandshrew.

Late 90s, but I still remember how excited everyone was for Diamond and Pearl. Hoenn was Pokemon's nadir culturally; most of the original Gen I/II fans moved on to something else and the Advanced (and Gamecube) were the losers of their console gen, so if you got in on Gen 3 like me you were the odd one out. But when the DSLite rolled around and D/P were announced everyone was suddenly interested in Pokemon again; I still remember having to stand in line just to play the demo on those demo DSs at a Best Buy.
I remember even as a kid thinking they weren't better than Emerald and after getting Platinum thinking that I couldn't really go back to D/P, but that didn't really matter to me; I still liked them because Gen 4 was greater than the sum of its parts.

DP has Glameow and Misdreavus or Murkrow and Stunky in the vanilla game. Having Honchkrow on the team is a reason to pick diamond.

I just recalled the memory of playing a DP demo at a vidya store. DS was still new.

What's the verdict on the Rijon series of hacks? I know of the DMCA, I've heard boundless praise for Prism specifically... but it's all from the Redditor types that gush over dogshit like Radical Red or whatever Kaizo shat out that month. I don't trust them to be good arbiters of quality.
The hacks do look interesting, but I'm very concerned about the devs. Not because of their name, but because of shit like this:
(this "style" screenshot is from a remake, by the way, of Pokémon Brown: the first game in the series that had nothing to do with these devs. It was entirely Koolboy's work, but the Prism team "revamped" it with new trainers and locations and graphics and such. It does look like a genuine improvement, but...)
I'm concerned about the level of pozz if they're renaming moves for "sensitivity reasons". I'm not too down on that change specifically: admittedly, I'm actually in favor of the new names for thematic reasons (it'd be like saying "Pikachu used Napalm" instead of something less direct, which I think clashes with the tone of the series), but it's a mark against the devs' spines that's making me wary.
Additionally, I'm pretty all-or-nothing in regards to new typings. Adding new types to the existing chart never sat right with me: either you leave it alone or start from scratch, otherwise it's going to clash hard, and adding something as nebulous as "gas" (a category I can only think of maybe five or six Pokémon for) just sounds really stupid.
Despite all this, I have to say that the hacks do look pretty intriguing. The interconnected plot is a big bonus, but the new features also look quite nice: Prism's sheer amount of landmass is appealing, as is being able to take control of your party, and I remember enjoying the hour or so of Prism I played years and years ago. Brown is just interesting for being an actual Red hack. That's such a rare thing even nowadays that I'm surprised it existed way back when it was first released.
Has anyone got more extensive experience with them? I'm really curious to hear any thoughts on Rijon Adventures and Brown especially. Try to keep spoilers to a minimum, if possible, since I'm still seriously considering playing through these hacks mostly blind.

This AB gender shit for a Gameboy title is cursed as hell.
Also, leave Pokemon Brown alone. FFS nothing is sacred anymore.

That BS really needs to stop. Why is "are you a boy or girl" so "problematic"?
I miss when the 'mon vidya asked "Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?" back then.

It isn't, but this is the same fanbase that will spend 70$ on 4-5 hours worth of DLC and defend it. There is no bottom to this barrel, I was right when I said that Pokemon is full of the most delusional retards this industry has ever seen.

It's also had, if not still has, one of the single largest fanbases on the planet so that's not really saying much.

So pocketmons has DLC now? That sounds sucky.

Check last page for an "argument" about it
TL;DR is that they cut out the post game and sold it to people for the price of a second game(70$ for two packs, 35$ each). The DLCs are not shared between versions either, if you buy game A and DLC for it, you have to buy DLC for game B all over again. If you buy everything at full price, that is 140$ for two games, and then another 140$ for all 4 DLC packs(two per game). That is total of 280$ for a "complete experience" plus paid online subscription for GTS/Online Battles/Online Raids, plus HOME subscription(Switch Pokemon Bank), which is apparently considered superior by some people to just paying another 30-40$ for a third edition ala Emerald/Platinum(which ends up being the best game of that generation anyhow).

A new bootleg mobile game came out last week called Pocket Revo: Here We Go
Actual title is "MegaMon". Preview pics on the store don't show much for obvious reasons. Seems like Gen7 is the furthest this game goes. Uses music from ORAS. Obviously the animations are infintely better than the shit GameFreak spews out. 2D instead of 3D. They give you a shit-ton of items/currency and currently have a bunch of events going on including Dialga/Giratina pulls. Megas are also a thing in here, but I haven't gotten that far.

It seems every single no-name chink knockoff SOMEHOW has better animations and sometimes even higher quality models/textures than what Gamefreak and Creatures Inc. is capable of. Then you have Pokemon fans coping about it, that includes /vp/ jannies and even Joe Merrick(Owner of Serebii) himself.

Play! Pokémon opened up their "Interest List" for Worlds 2025 spectators today, it's basically a lottery drawing for multi-day ($99) and single-day ($39) tickets.
I added my name to the list for all possible tickets but you're only allowed to buy one (be it a single-day or multi-day ticket) and they're both non-refundable and nontransferable.

Always was honestly. Ever since Gen 3.pocket monsters sure has gotten expensive now...
And if we are being honest, even in Gen 1-2. $60-80 for a full game experience was incredibly expensive. Gen 1 only got away witj it because everyone was playing. So you only needed one game because trading the exclusives was easy and everyone knew how to clone starters.
