Good luck to those taking part in this, as usual hope people will be able to get the new Mega Stone and also previous ones if they missed them (as will be my case when I finally get to start Legends Z-A myself)!
@Liam_Doolan There’s a single “Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch 2. Pokemon” tag instead of separate ones, when you can please fix it.
I recently found out reaching Rank S ain’t so bad, so I’m definitely going to go for it! Even though I don’t particularly enjoy online play.
@Pillowpants Yeah the ranking system is the complete alphabet so Rank S is only 8 ranks up. Despite our brains probably being hardwired at this point to assume that Rank S is the top rank you can ever achieve.
Season 5? This game has only been out for barely 4 months, that’s barely 1 season.
