Some more tidbits from SV, now that I'm done with the episode:

  • Sandwich making, as we know provides various boosts. But it also boosts shiny rate.
  • Very flexible character customization.
  • Drowsy appears to be back:

  • The game is noted to be pretty laggy/have performance issues.
  • Let's Go autobattle mode rewards less EXP to the Pokémon on your team. Its main use is the collection of items.
  • The Starmobile Pokémon has Speed Boost
  • Day/Night cycle is like in PLA, not tied to the real-time clock
  • Trainers no longer "lock eyes" with the player to initiate battles in Pokémon SV. Now you have to talk to them.
  • There is no level scaling. So there will be areas with lower-level trainers/Pokémon and higher-level areas.
  • Like in PLA you can change the movesets of your Pokémon from the menu at any time.
  • Wiglett is not the main character. Boo. I have cancelled my preorder.

More tidbits!

  • Street musicians like in Unova are back
  • Areas numbered on map, likely corresponding to difficulty
  • Battle friends on overworld while others can take pictures/emote.
  • No hair options or clothing gender-locked. I think it was already leaked there's no skirts or dresses tho, so that's not surprising. Pants and shorts are unisex.
  • Pokémon can travel in groups, but when you trigger the battle, it's 1v1.
  • NPC sidequests/challenges.

Apparently, when you first start SV, rather than having to choose your player's gender, you will be able to chose a base "style" and then customize it. All options are available for all trainers. You can switch between styles at any time.

  • By using auto battles, your Pokémon will fight and try to defeat everything it encounters, even if they are shiny Pokémon. KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS.
  • In total in Paldea you can get 18 medals, one for each type. 8 of them are obtained in the Gyms while the 10 are obtained doing the other two stories. Kind of reminds me of this translation error from back in the SwSh's pre-release:

  • Raid partner AI "much better" than SwSh. Hopefully our partner selection is better too. Magikarp, Wobbuffet, that Solrock that was useless on purpose.
  • Auto-heal Pokémon from menu (letting the game auto select from your items)
