Friend Code: Pokémon Sword and Shield Announcement

If they made a pokemon breath of the wild they prob dont think they will sell any more units. Every new generation pokemon game sells around the same amount of units since gold and silver. They are sticking to the same formula with a few design changes. It makes it easier to calculate cost and profits. No risks taken here sadly.

Thanks Damiani, Great idea to have a Friend Code when big news drops!

pokemon + soccer = most popular shit in the world

Adding to what everyone else here is mainly saying. Shorter episodes with a quick release to keep up with big news like this is way better if posible. Great job this week. L&R

Thank you for getting up a Friend Code the day of the Direct! It always bums me out when big news drops and I have to wait to hear the opinions of the only folks who matter ;) Damiani has been killing it!

This is a good thumbnail.

Again, I love that clips from the direct are being shown while the group discusses. Thanks for the timely episode, Damiani. Also, I dig the set-dressing idea.

Agreed on this structure working out greatly, assuming Damiani isn't overwhelming himself with expectations or work. It'd be nice to get more freeform Friend Code episodes on the regular schedule (like the Link's Awakening speculation spree) instead of having all of them news and reactions focused.

Awesome episode. It's great to have a good discussion so quick after news drop. If schedule permits in the future, this worked beautifully. #blessed.

Excellent idea! As long as it doesn't make too more work for yourself, I really like the intermittent episode when big news drops. We'll get fresh reactions and you'll have dibs on Nintendo information for the channel! L&R

Thanks for getting this up so quick Damiani! A jolly day all around.
