S.C.G Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Glen-i said: Yeah... We've already done that. Got all three starters. So no need to do that. If you're going to do multiple playthroughs. I recommend going to the options, setting Text Speed to fast, turning Battle effects off and turning on the option to skip movies. Helps save some time. If your brother isn't getting his Switch for a while, it might be better waiting until I can start breeding Pokémon. Trust me, it'll be quicker and you'll only have to restart twice. Ah OK, thanks for the tips. Yeah... it won't be until December though so that's why I was going to start my main file on Sword (for keeps) and then on the same Switch and ID start Shield, do the trade and restart as many times as required (trading all the starters to my main file on Sword) and then I'd wipe the data one last time so that Shield would be ready for him to start for real and then I'd trade him the extra starters. But I haven't even started playing Sword myself yet so let me know when you get to the breeding part if you get to it soon because that would probably make more sense, I still intend to start for keeps on Sword and get the extra starters from Shield though... with the earlier Pokémon games generations ago my brother and I used to trade for extras of the starters locally but being that we don't see him that often now and that neither of us have been quite as into the games in recent generations the tradition has kind of fallen by the wayside, but I'd love to bring it back with Sword and Shield as I reckon he'll probably play Pokémon again this time and it's a chance for me to get back into the series as well a bit.

OK, so choose Link Battle, then Set Link Code. It acts like a password so random people can't trade with you. Tell me the code you chose and then wait on the overworld and the trade will start once I enter it. I'm in a max battle with @Ike so I'll join you once that's done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I’ve definitely got that. Once you set a code, does it apply to all of the different online interactions and remain active constantly, or do you need to set one for each online aspect each time? Seriously hope not.

I really cannot even begin to imagine how, but I’ll take your word for it as I never played either of those. I suppose at the very least (if I had to find a positive to something about the online in this game) it’s good that friends have that little square face symbol next to their names, so it’s easy to differentiate from randoms. But I’m still amazed that they went with this bizarre code system for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Any Pokémon in particular I should look out for trading purposes? I have Sword, but I don't know the exclusives from the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sméagol Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'll try to catch spares in general then. This is just speculation on my part, but I suspect the routes are mainly for catching current generation exclusives Pokémon, and the wild area mainly for catching previous generations Pokémon. I'll try to catch spares on the routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) @S.C.G, @Ike, @GenericAperson, your starter eggs are ready. I'll be online for most of the rest of the day. So when you head online, give me a shout. EDIT: In about half an hour from this edit, I need to go get some snacks.

Aperson Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I don't know what I can give you yet Glen, might catch some spare Pokemon which I can trade for the Eggs, I'm currently on Route 5 training up my new Sirfetch'd. I don't have the Ditto I need to breed Sobbles yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
