My understanding is that while the flute to catch a wild Arceus was never distributed, there were events that just directly distributed an Arceus.

I see, I didn't know of the distribution with the movie.
Pretend i said nothing
I gotta know: did you think the arceus movie didnt come with arceus distribution and the dream world vote was the first time Arceus was given awayI see, I didn't know of the distribution with the movie.

There's no precedent obviously, but the fact that there are still 8 distinct groups with the Meltan line in the 8th one feels like sufficient evidence evidence to me that they're officially considered part of Gen 8 yet also officially considered not part of Galar. They could've done an "Alola, etc." or used Go's "Unknown region" thing as a separate category, but they deliberately chose not to.
Well I can understand unknown region not being an option. There are exactly 2 pokemon in that category
Still internally they're gen 7 jduding by serebiis tweets so who knows. It's phione nonsense all over again, is it a legend a mythic or not. Spin the wheel of marketing and find out
Or ultra beasts, who are internally legends but theyre own separate non-legend category elsewhere
My favourite part about Gen 4 Arceus is that due to it only being available at Level 100 and with the ways EVs worked back then, the only possible EV spread for it was 100 in each stat.
I'm likely to make use of the code thing for the boxes, since it's one at a time as opposed to just dumping everything all at once. There's still things I want to keep in Bank... and some which belong specifically to Gen 6 and hence I don't want to transfer out of Bank until I get Gen 6 back.

Am I reading this right? Everyone in Sword/Shield will have a box that can transfer a single box of Pokemon from Let's Go? Without any subscription, mobile app or Pokemon Home? I must have misinterpreted that.
For anyone in the know, are the Gigantamax Toxtricity files in the game already? Or should we expect a game update for it?

awesome gaming
Gmax Toxtricity was accessed early by dataminers a good while back
That was known from the beginning: Home's free subscription is 30 pokemon slots (effectively a pokemon box), for any pokemon game present on Switch, as well as the ability to receive Mystery gifts and deposit a pokemon in GTS.
Must have missed that when I saw the price of Premium. So essentially for Let's Go you can transfer your entire library, 30 at a time, to Sword/Shield? Not bad, not that there is much interesting in Let's Go to transfer over.
Pretty much, though Go and Let's Go are still currently the only ways to obtain Meltan and Melmetal
With the giant asterisk of you cannot transfer the 90 (we'll ignore slowpoke for this) Kanto pokemon not currently in SWSH from Home to SWSH
Thanks. I assume it explicitly states that. I am checking the Home site but it seems like the formatting is messed up on my browser so some of the info is covered up with the images. Will try again later on a different browser. I am hoping the release of Home allows more than the 35-40 or so Pokemon currently in the files. Would be kind of lame considering the price of Premium if Home would only give us a handful of new types at release. The expansions are a good bit away. Transferring old ones is great, but really wanting to expand the Pokedex. And I already have good versions of many of the Pokemon I have in the old games.
Suppose any day now, we'll know the day they plan to give us the release day. Seems to be how they release information.
Kinda love that since the original post, no-one's talked about Gigantamax Toxitricity. Poor thing.

Well, sadly as fancy as it is, its Gigamax form isn't anything special and Toxtricity isn't particularly good in VGC to begin with :(
Not super huge on the raids. Do we know which area we can find the Den yet or is it randomized throughout the wild area?
I am surprised that they didn't point out how g-max toxtricity is on the hill
or any lore about it saving that lighthouse
I think GF realized a bit too many people are going to spam Earthquake in those Toxtricity raids and murder all their partners LOL
If only double battles were common in the story so that people would know that Earthquake hits your partner(s)...
