    I wanted to get this opposite of my Violet version. Unfortunately this only has the first dlc on the game cart (if that) the second part released this week but not on the game cart. It’s good don’t get me wrong but wish I didn’t have to download the extra stuff like in sword and shield

    I bought this for my boyfriend for Xmas, but we ultimately returned it. He has an Otterbox Defender case, and because of that, the backbone cannot connect to his iPhone 15 pro max. He would’ve had to take the case off each and every time he used it, which is effort he didn’t want to have to do. Also, there’s a monthly subscription you have to pay in order to use all of the backbone’s features. Nope, we’re good. No thanks.
