HOW EASILY CAN YOU COMPLETE PROFESSOR OAK’S CHALLENGE IN POKEMON SWORD/SHIELD’S CROWN TUNDRA? 

Gonna check it out.

You should do a shiny nuzlocke with first shiny you find between each gym

You forgot to evolve cosmog al the way up to solgaleo or lunala

@@northstarpokeshipper2148 you can catch it as a legendary in the Dynamax Adventures :)

How easily could you complete the professor oak challenge in Sword and Shield WITH doing the DLCs as you progress through the main game? Both DLCs are available before the first gym but the levelling is a lot easier now because of being able to trade Dynite Ore for EXP L and EXP XL candies. I should know: im in the middle of one myself and i waited before progressing to see if the crown tundra was available before Milo. The only tedious thing is trying to get all available pokemon from the dynamax adventures because you can obtain pokemon that are spread across all 3 pokedex lists

That is cool, I didn't know that bit. But it does not line up with the story people living in Crown Tundra have - in this case I believe both are true. So according to the people of Crown Tundra, fossil Pokémon appeared shortly before you arrive there. Or more specifically - shortly after Nebby was found. Since I didn't look at Calyrex dex entry I thought Nebby was the cause of all of it But again I think the stories are both linked. Calyrex did teleport the forest and the pokemon away from danger, but it was Nebby that summoned them back to current time period Crown Tundra

@@RancorSnp I thought the people said the Legendary Pokemon appeared shortly after Nebby arrived, not the fossils.

@@Whispernyan ​ It applies to both. In the max den you can her than the first Legendary pokemon found inside was Solgaleo / Lunala depending on your version of the game BUT outside you have a train station NPC saying "It's been a while since I came back home, but it seems like a lot's changed... It's a lot colder than I remember, and there are so many rockish Pokemon wandering around...." The old lady who gives you Nebby then says that all these weird pokemon only started appearing after she found it - and I really doubt she ever went inside the max den

​@@RancorSnp Oh I remember that guy in the train station, never payed it much mind but that is weird. If Calyrex was the one who saved the fossil pokemon by teleporting them away, he definitely wasn't the one to bring them back in this current age with him being devoid of power for generations, and I don't see why whatever method the UBs and Legend ended up here would bring the fossil pokemon back either. My biggest question is still why do the Villagers choose to live in one of the coldest areas of the their region, even if crops don't grow anywhere it still has to be nicer not being in snow when a few steps outside town is greenland. In fact how do any of them survive if they haven't been able to grow food for centuries, I honestly feel like this storyline isn't quite adding up

@@Whispernyan 1) Calyrex probably teleported them to an Ultra Dimension or something, and the couple of fossil Pokémon that came with Cosmog may have come with it to protect it, though that part is pure speculation. In any case, Calyrex may very well be connected to the Ultra Beasts. 2) IRL people live in batshit insane locations that they REALLY shouldn’t. I don’t doubt that it’s the same in this world too.

I heard Poipole is shiny locked in there, btw

@@excalibur493 it is and it sucks because it’s not locked in UsUm

Mr. KrustyKrust This further proves GameFreak has been cutting corners and yet people still defend this company.

@@ElectroBlastLuigi it takes more work to lock the pokemon than to leave it

@@ElectroBlastLuigi It’s been this way ever since the Pokémon Company took over, Gamefreak is a good company, but all TPC cares about is money money money. It’s sad to see a company as good as GF fall into the hands of a bunch of greedy stealers. They pushed GF to get SwSh out super fast to make money, they partnered with Tencent to make money, and they don’t listen to their fans anymore. GF is a good company, but TPC just controls it and is using it to make that sweet cash. Sort of like when the bad guy’s minion looks evil, but is actually good and is being forced to be evil.

Tell that to Ash

Definitely not in his randomized nuzlocke. WHICH YOU CAN WATCH AT 4:30 PM EST AT twitch.tv/johnstone

how about in dnd?

the new harvest moon game is looking good! hope you get it

Uh Revives are a thing

First thing that came to mind is potential gen 4 remakes to get them?

@@nyambrosial1244 gen 4 remakes are probably gonna come out since they are next for the side timeline games

that plus having so few Sinnoh mons in the main game screams Gen 4 remakes to me

Gen 4 Remakes confirmed.

What about the version exclusive fossil Pokémon (kabuto or omanyte

is pretty cool to watch. pretty hard to do. john sinnoh’s one is a perfect example 😂

Same

Yeah me too

YES!!!!! I think they’re way better.

Have you heard of the shiny oak challenge?

more evidence for sinnoh remakes, as they'll be released there

I've wanted to do a SwSh playthrough with only using the fossil Pokémon, and thankfully the only two that got axed were the two I really didn't want to use anyway.

So you're telling me that from all the fossil pokemons that they added in the game one of the two missing is the *SHIELD* pokemon?

@@hekirb3382 it's ironic, considering how cranidos is essentially a sword with it's gigantic attack stat

@@vedhhari4833 white sheildon is essentially a sheild with a high defense

That's soooo crazy 😅🤠

I have shiny Virizion in my Black 2

And definitely not you also

Why?

@@Autumace786 maybe they got

Lmao

truly a primal pokemon in all its might

I was literally asking myself "why does he have a pink Virizion in the thumbnail?" but it should've been obvious

Well, depending on how he handles the DLC stories, that wouldn't be very different. For example, for the Crown Tundra, you can actually go everywhere prior to doing their stories. So barring places blocked by rivers, almost everything can be caught after a few badges (2 maybe?). Once you can bike over water, almost everything else becomes available except a few legendaries that require further progress. One (I can't recall who but maybe the new Regis) requires 7 badges while Calyrex requires being champion to have that final battle. As such, it would pretty well be the same up until the station lets you go to the DLC, then catch another 400+ Pokemon, get your bike, another 150 or so, beat the seventh gym, a dozen more, become champion, 2-3 more. Really tedious and boring

I've been doing that and it's absolutely messed up

You can't even get to the new regies with out water bike

Oh interesting. I haven't finished the base game yet because I'm working on the Pokedex.

And Viktini (if fhat is the name)

​@@moonshirovictini is a mythical, not a legendary The only mythical available is Keldeo, and that's probably just as an easter egg for being the 4th sword of justice seeing as you can find the 3 others

Yeah

Definitely

Trueeeeee

Correct

I honestly can't say I agree. Honestly this week is the first time I even heard people didn't like Isle of Armor - which came as a surprise to me. Crown Tundra has some cool things to it, the story of Calyrex was fun to experience, Peony is pretty cool, and dynamax adventures + galarian star tournament add some more tangible activities to do. But also the new content while enjoyable didn't have as much depth to it as I expected. Galarian star tournament was my most anticipated feature but it has so little variety to it almost kills it. Dynamax adventures are fun to play, but I do get tired when going at it for a longer while - and not getting pokedex entries bothers me. Isle of Armor had an amazing rival (Klara of course, shield got scamed) and a lot new additions, armorite ore, honey's quest, following pokemon done well, appricorn balls, random NPC encounters, tutor moves, plenty of clothing, digging pa etc etc I like Crown Tundra but I definetely enjoyed Isle of Armor more EDIT : Also normal raids stopped being relevant. In IoA you had the motivation of doing raids for Armorite ore which is super important as a currency. In CT normal raid gives 1 dynite ore (2 if Delibird) which basically means there is never a reason to do them

It took me a second to realize what you said

Yep

You can also find Regigigas, but you need all 5 regis, meaning you'd need to trade or have a second file/game for the regi you didn't choose. It can be shiny, but it's level 100, and in a raid format, though you can use your entire team to fight it, with items and no ko/turn limit. Austin John Plays made a great video on the Regis and the Swords of Justice if you'd like to know more.

As an advance wars fan I'm used to mayors being total twats only out for themselves

*wink* *wink*

While that would be cool in theory, some of the Pokemon are locked by badge progression. For example, I believe Calyrex requires being champion while I want to say the Regis require at least 7 badges (might be wrong there). At least according to sources I've found. So much like gen 1 thanks to Mewtwo, not possible to catch them all before becoming champion

@@Kahadi Well yeah, that's why i then mentioned when you get more badges, and catch em alls and Professor Oak challenges go past post-game because you can't get all mon before then So what I'm saying is... getting EVERYTHING you can from Main game, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra... including Max Raids and Adventures Getting EVERYTHING possible, before each badge... with these challenges, it already takes long enough before Milo, now add the Isle and Dynamax Adventure, would take so long

Well you have to talk to real people ONLINE and for the challenge to be valid it has to be offline.

I believe that you can talk to people near you in local mode

@@mystic7722 Yea I guess you're right.

@@mystic7722 this challenge is more solo based. It being offline is just an obvious rule in order for it to be solo.. If you say "well its local so it counts" then you'd have to allow local trading or its inconsistent.

Well the idea is for the challenge to be consistent more or less forever, so yeah in a few years where its gonna be hard to impossible to get that, so i wouldn't count it.

Good luck with your hunt brotherman, I'm going to start hunting the regis this weekend

In Dyna-Adventures, without Shiny Charm every pokemon has a chace of 1/300 to be shiny, meaning the whole adventure has a chance of 4/300 or 1/75. With Shinycharm every Pokemin has a chance of 1/100 to be shiny, making the overall chance 4/100 or for the whole adventure 1/25. That means, that without shiny charm u are likely to encounter a shiny every 75 raids, and with shiny charm every 25 raids. full-odds would be 1/4096 which is clearly not the case.

@@kannymackornmick2614 they got virision out on the wild, not in a dynamax adventure

@@kannymackornmick2614 the Regis aren't available in dynamax adventures
