OK, here's where this thread is standing, with the unlocking:

Given the widespread backlash and complaining about certain aspects of the work (i.e. Dexit), we wanted to communicate very clearly what we are not willing to put up with: prolonged, circular complaining (or wonking).

Of course, with a controversial subject that has a large impact on the gameplay, Dexit is in one of those areas where there it may be on-topic to discuss it, but the nature of that discussion can wildly vary. As has been said elsewhere, we ix-nayed discussion of Dexit entirely because it never seemed to happen without devolving into that kind of complaining.

However, we're willing to unlock the thread after this 3-day cooldown period because the Pokemon General thread has been stable enough. And -

Can I discuss Dexit?

Yes. But if there is prolonged wonking on it, the thread just becomes an echo chamber of complaints and we do not like that. No one likes that. The same rules as ever apply. Be a constructive, healthy space. Have conversations about what you like, and what you don't like, but the thread should not get locked into a series of bitter complaints.

If you have questions or concerns about mod implementation or action, we have a thread for that here.

Alright? Thank you all for waiting this out. I hope we're all good now.

Very curious that all 4 gifts are regional variants. They say these are to help prepare for the isle of armor, but i wonder how?

What I find even more curious is that the Galarian Forms being gifted include Shield-exclusives, but no Sword-exclusives. I can imagine Galarian Farfetch’d and Darumaka being saved for Crown Tundra, but the imbalance is weird.

The 100 exp candy and gold nuggets are kinda for that...

Still, when are we getting our alternate mascot dog with its rusted item attached?

Pretty sure we'd have to wait a while for something like that.

How about that, but it's a bow dog instead? Its ears and a wire on the back of its head are the bow, it has a long tail that acts as a hand, and it makes the arrow out of energy. That'd be even more dope than Zacian.

Kinda meant a Zamazenta w/Shield for Sword players, and a Zacian w/Sword for Shield players...

Still waiting for Zaieloh in one of the expansions tho.

Or an evolving Galarian Jynx, as HOME suggested.

[up][up]Yeah. I knew what you meant. Still doubt they'd have something like that until the end of Generation VIII, where they become irrelevant and people care more about the upcoming games.

I guess the EXP Charm will function like the old EXP Share.

Not sure why it's needed when EXP is so abundant. It's faster to get EXP candies than to grind by battle.

I guess the Exp Charm will, like all other Charms do, boost the overall rate you gain experience.

Add to that the likeliness of level 60 Blisseys being around, and, well, Peninsula Of Powerleveling.

I feel like I'm poking at a bee hive bringing up any topics like these on this thread but, do you guys think there'll be any news that was planned to be shared at E3 before it got cancelled that will still be shared somehow anyway? Like maybe more info on The Crown Tundra as well as possibly a tease for a Third Expansion Campaign?
