I do wanna add though, once an electric Mega comes out, Jolteon EX + Mega electric = easy Cyrus victims to draw out and win immediately if the Mega target hasn’t evolved yet

The even funnier thing is my next 10 pack pull I did, I got an immersive Mega Altaria EX (no second one yet)

So I'm close to having 2 Mega decks funny enough, only a few days after the packs came out.

Totally get this... I had pizza last night and from one of my favorite local places and... it did not taste as good. (ate 2 slices and had to stop, otherwise... *gags*)

Hope better broth comes your way! (feels like a monkey paw wish happened due to how much you wanted it and got it but... D:)

If you want to REALLY avoid leaks, get off social media. Chat with friends or watch something, maybe even play something until the game comes out.

If I can avoid leaks, as well as game content for a game that is over 2 years old and I still haven't played, you can too.

Hell I've been on Youtube and not see leaks, been on Tumblr, & somehow JUST NOW learning that there's Pokemon leaks that have nothing to do with ZA (which has piqued my interest)

Yet people act like they are hard to avoid

(I still have not been spoiled on Tears of the Kingdom, not even playing it)

Like seriously wtf

Then the gaming world is going to have so much fun when AAA games rule over the gaming genre due to having more money than indies, so they get the rights to specific mechanics… (I mean look at how Nintendo has been going at Palworld for months now, changing things mid-litigation)

So anyone thinking "you won't need a year of online to play Legends ZA"

... hold that statement off. We don't know how many megas they plan to introduce this way.

(I'm also still worried about how laggy the online experience will be given it's real time battles on Nintendo servers)

I'm expecting it to take at least 3 months to get all the CURRENT mega evolution stones for the starters.

But? Who is to say that they won't add MORE to the online ranked modes in later months? They literally give a detail that MORE will come, and no duplicates are allowed.

I mean, at least mainline games are just "choose your move" so the online won't be affected that badly, so they can handle Nintendo servers...

That's what I'm deeply afraid of.

Now? I see people say "yeah like other companies do now" acting like DLC being talked about for a game release is something that shouldn't be looked down on.

The worst part?

With how Nintendo's online can be, I'm ready to see how bad "real time action" Pokemon battles are gonna be online.

Corporations couldn't "hold back" or "plan for more content in a few months" because they had to release everything all in one go. If they wanted to make more content for the game? They had to re-release it and that would be something they'd do a year or two later (RE4 on other consoles for example)

Don't forget that Wii games costed $50 originally. Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 by themselves on the Switch is $40, or $70 together

I actually wasn't even hyped for the direct (I forgot about it until literally last night) and I still am disappointed.

It'd be one thing if the games were bundled as a physical collection, but Nintendo made it obvious you need an online sub to play the games, hell you need one to BUY the shell.

This is literally just selling you a plastic shell that will become worthless in years, only useful for shelf space.

Aka, Nintendo loves making literal waste just to make others spend $100 on them.
