New Pokémon Sword and Shield info. (Customization features, pokémon camp, new pokémon )
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I'm worried Zorua and Zoroark won't make the cut, but I'm happy that Litwick line has at least made it in.
Keep in mind that overworld encounters are only in the Wild Area (which is still apparently a pretty large part of the game).
Overworld encounters are everywhere in the game, not just the wild area.
Customisation is actually looking incredible, after the whole National Dex debacle, I'm actually really looking forward to just dressing up and playing with my Pokemon in camp hahaha.
Yes.
And I expect 300 to be available before the league, and the rest being available either in new areas or as new spawns in the Wild Area once you're champion.
Wouldn't be surprised if more were included (patch or not patch) through periodic max raid battles too
User warned: ‘lazy devs’ rhetoric
Gamefreak is so fucking lazy
I can't tell if it's sarcasm anymore, Pokémon threads have broken me
Holy moly i got a warning for that. I was joking! Gamefreak probably doesn't even edit the trailer themselves.
The problem is that there are actually people on this forum who think that way so if you don't put a "/s" there's always the chance it will get moderated.
As someone who is planning multiple playthroughs, all these customisation options have me really excited.
Although I usually pick the Male, the female design and options have made me decide to do at least four different playthroughs with the female character.

Guessing tons of fake starter evo leaks will show up soon with the reveal being within a month.
We did get SM and USUM news soon after the September Direct of those years which had SM and USUM news
So it's possible, but I dunno
And this is the kind of comment that saddens me the most, I think I get more offended when I see something like this than when I see a racist or sexist comment about a real human lol
What is "trash" even supposed to be in terms of Pokémon? And even if everyone agreed on this term or category, imagining a game without them will result in the most boring and predictable game ever. If good Pokémon are useful, or "good" for that matter, is because there is these other Pokémon that are not so good (style-wise or whatever people are complaining about) or not so useful in contrast.
Plus, they're not getting rid of them forever anyways. The Pokémon that don't make the cut in SwSh are supposedly coming back in future games, but the no National Pokédex policy will still be the standard. So as I've said before, there'll come a day when they won't be able to fit all the popular Pokémon or the "good Pokémon" in a single game if they want to make room for the Pokémon that didn't appear in previous entries. Maybe only then people will start realizing how awful and unfortunate this direction is, when each time more and more of their favorite Pokémon start getting cut, or it becomes impossible to have all of their faves in one single version, or when their faves become useless because all the Pokémon they could've used their strategies against aren't present in that game.
Plenty of Pokémon that are considered trash by most are already confirmed to be in the game.
"Trash" Pokemon is subjective. In my opinion there is no badly designed Pokémon, and every single Pokémon is going to be liked by one person or another. There's hardly Pokémon considered trash by "most" either.
Pokémon "roster" discussion is one of the worst things to happen to the fanbase. Can't wait for now every discussion for every future entry to be about "they should cut this trash pokémon".
I'm surprised we've gotten this far into, a talk on trash Pokémon that didn't immediately mention Trubbish and Garbador. Well, until I brought them up I guess.
I love Grabador, it was one of my best Pokémon of Gen 5, and suck it to anyone upset it's in the new games.
maybe they'll add that feature to the next game, when they throw away the camping feature and '_'-maxing.
Was a consensus ever reached about this little fishy? I vote it's a new Pokémon. Just looks like such a dopey fun fishy friend. I want to catch it and evolve it and watch the anime episode where a big evolved mama version of it attacks a flock of Cramorants for trying to eat her babies.
I think the fish is a Pokémon. If it's not then it's the first time we've seen such a descript non Pokémon creature.
I also hope they don't reveal starter evolutions at all at this point

It is according to the anime
E: nvm it's Pokédex entries do indeed say it's a shellder
Of course its a Pokemon. Its a fictional creature in the Pokemon world.
Whether or not its going to be something you can use in battles who knows.

I'm still not sure about the fish. It looks too detailed indeed to just be a prop, but it also looks too simple to be a Pokémon. However, it could be that in its official artwork it's actually more detailed, or at least doesn't look as lifeless.
Mantine's original artwork depicts a very simplified Remoraid in contrast to Remoraid's artwork

though in the new artwork it became a bit more similar to the new Remoraid artwork

*The in-game Mantine sprite lost Remoraid since Mantyke (and the evolution method requiring Remoraid) was introduced, though.
I don't know what to think. If it's a Pokémon, it better have an evolution. But if it ends up not being a Pokémon (at least this generation) I won't be surprised at all. I think it'd add mystery to the whole gimmick to make it more interesting and fun.

It could also be another case similar to Kangaskhan, though not exactly the same.
The baby could very well be another Pokémon, a pre-evolution, or a Kangaskhan in another form; either way we never get to have it separately

Barracuda is also a name for a type of torpedo (and submarine, so maybe that's something for an evolution) and considering its design and use as a projectile, I could see it being/becoming Water/Steel
That would be cool if it became a actual Fish Missile.
I didn't know that about the forms ID, but I'm intrigued to know how are they naming each "flavor" to distinguish them from one another and if it's possible for them to change forms or they're stuck with it like Vivillon.

Similarly I expect Cramorant to have a Gigantamax form where the 'fish' becomes a full on huge missile, or Cramorant shoots multiple of them.
I didn't notice it before, but it looks weird when the baby have different eyes. Especially the mega.It could also be another case similar to Kangaskhan, though not exactly the same.
