I’m not entirely convinced that Vespiquen’s English name wasn’t misspelled and never fixed.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!As of September 30th, Sw Sh has a 750,000 unit lead over SV, so, unlikely.
"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."Unfortunately, at this point S/V probably will never beat swsh's total worldwide sales, that boost from casual first timers during covid era is just so closenote yet so far note to overcome.
But well, at least it beat even R/G in Japan, I guess.

I don't really mind too much; I love seeing new Pokemon in general.

x2 I disagree, the difference in sales between Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield is small (relatively speaking), and the fact the former is a 2 year old game, while the latter is 5 years old should make it obvious S & V are selling better in comparison.
Really, it's important to remember that Scarlet & Violet are still the most recent mainline Pokemon games, and just because of that, they will be the ones receiving a bigger sales boost for the holiday season. I'm sure that for the next sales report, they will have sold better than Sword & Shiled.
Welp, guess which absolute clown just found out Poké Transporter is incompatible with Gen IV? Looks like I gotta make my decision on whether to play as a boy or a girl for my White run. (Gotta beat the story to unlock the Transfer Lab.)
FC: SW-1445-0294-1719/PSN: TekkenGirl4Lyfe/Currently playing: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos HDStill, Terastalization works on virtually all Pokémon the same (that are programmed into SV, that is). Z-Moves and Dynamax worked for all but had special effects for some, and Mega Evolution only worked at all on some. I wouldn’t call the other gimmicks Mega Evolution ripoffs, but it will be nice to see Megas return in Z-A.

Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!I dislike all four.
Z-Moves are the least offensive to me simply by virtue of being the least intrusive. Then Megas, then Terastalization, and finally Dynamax is the worst.
I like the idea of giving a boss trainer's final Pokemon something special to make the battle feel more cinematic, but I really don't like these gimmicks at all and how they often misbalance or centralize battles around themselves.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Since I do a lot of Tera raids, I'm having a lot of fun with Terastilization. It's kind of fun trying to solo 5-star and 6-star raids, and how a Pokemon raid boss can end up being a different experience when they have different tera types.

FWIW she's prolly a shoo in for UNITE at least.
