Anyways, as much as I like the idea of new Regi's... a dragon one? This is kind of a "one of these is not like the other"-situation here, you have inanimate objects / elements with Rock, Ice, Steel, Electric and then... Dragon? Huh? Unless I've missed something this doesn’t add up

Regional variants on legendaries is a neat way of keeping them fresh and interesting. I can't wait to see more!

I can't say my thoughts on this have changed terribly much since the first teaser -- this is certainly a shameless, lifeless recreation of the original. One thing that does stand out is that there appear to be a few new scenes in there relating to Team Rocket (the organisation, not the trio) but hardly ones that seem terribly interesting or worth seeing the movie for. I never liked the interpretation of Team Rocket as this sort of generic world-conquering legendary-hunting threat anyway; they were originally presented as and work best as successful (well, until a 10-year-old shows up) organised crime.
Anyone been playing SwSh recently? I'm really looking forward to the DLC; it's not just the content we would have gotten in a potential third version for cheaper, it seems far beyond the scope of any content third versions have added in the past. Usually it goes as far as a battle facility place and a legendary-hunting place, but here we've got new fully fledged story and lore and entirely new very large areas to roam around. I'm very happy with getting a lot more for a lot less.

Watching Indigo League due to Boomarang skipping it and Orange Island on DVD.

As someone who's been broadly fine with SwSh's decisions so far (my disappointments mostly lie in the game not having quite as much content as it could; whether in regards to dexit or otherwise), this... is something I absolutely hate.
You can say as much as you want about other things that have been done with Pokémon's pricing recently; but that mostly comes from decisions outwith of Pokémon specifically (NSO is hardly GF's policy, nor is the standard switch game price), or subjectivity (you can argue DLC held back content to make you pay more than standard price for it, but you can argue this for any game including some of the best practises of it like Smash and it's ultimately up to the person to decide value). But this is straight up a hefty price increase for apparently no reason. Bank costing £5 a year was... a bit frustrating, but mostly acceptable. It was contentious to begin with because the previously free service of Pokémon transfer was free as long as you had the games, but that was its biggest crime; otherwise, £5 a year to cover server costs for a storage service is acceptable and understandable. But now things have been increased to £15 a year, for... no good reason?? They doubled the storage space, but it's not like there's an option to have half the storage space for £8 or something. The extra features are also hardly stressing out the servers; maybe GTS and Wonder Trade but that's being offered for free, so... huh? Even if some of these features are free, they're also ones that really should have been in the game to begin with or at least added to the game via a later free update. At best making them part of an external free service is just very awkward, clunky and inconvenient and actively discourages me from using it. An IV judge being part of the premium package is, at best, just strange when it's available in SwSh's base game. And then despite the free plan existing, once again; transfer is one of the ones locked behind a paywall. ... oh, and you still need to pay for the outdated Bank service to even be able to transfer, so that's extra awesome. There's so many decisions here that are bizarre or just straight-up scummy. When you get right down to it; this is asking triple the price for a service that ultimately does not have the value to justify it for any but the most hardcore players and those that just have money to burn, and it especially does not help when there's other costs this generation like NSO. I was so happy to see the DLC because it actually showed Game Freak moving to a much better, customer friendly model. But, wow, they just saved all their malice for this one.

Honestly...I think it's a fair price.

For what's being offered, not really. Especially next to NSO - which, for a single year subscription for one person; is pretty much the same price - it's really a pittance. This is a storage system with a couple hardly notable bells and whistles attached, and should barely be worth anything. At least with NSO I get, like, a huge library worth of games. With Home I get... maybe Hidden Ability starters eventually.
It's just greedy.

Yeah for full Home functionality meaning including Bank, you need to spend 41 bucks a year
