Great designs as usual. Guess I'll have to follow the Galar anime season to know these characters and Pokémon. :/

Also, exclusive version gym leaders seems a bit shady. As an one time gimmick for one game (BW) it was fine, but if it keeps happening it's not a good change.

Trailer looks good. Surprisingly really enjoying the music, though I don't think it will be in game?

Gigantimaxing has... potential, I guess. If it applies to the vast majority of creatures, it would be the first good reasoning they've given us for Dexit.

That said, we're getting a wedding cake and it's not an evolution of Slurpuff, everything is terrible.

The "dynamaxing" is a real turn off for me, it just looks lame. It's going to be a big part of the games isn't it? :(

I like everything outside of that.

Those two forms that we have seen would be ridiculous at normal size. They are designed to be huge, one is a kaiju and the other is an absurdly high cake.

ngl, while each individual gym leader looks great, I fucking hate the idea of version exclusive gym leaders. I already didnt like the idea of 2 versions with exclusive Pokemon, but differentiating them even more with content that cant be acquired with just trading? Fuck that shit.
However maybe im jumping the gun and theres a postgame, doubt it though.

It's not the first time it happens. The lauded Gen V does exactly this.

Version exclusive gym leaders is a big no-no. Pokemon is one thing, at least you can trade for them, but this? Nah. Not okay.

Yeah, they're both obvious extensions of the normal forms, "what if it we're huge?". The cake becoming a layer cake and the turtle becoming Godzilla are great concepts. I expect there to only be a handful of forms like that.

One is literally just Blastoise but better, another is just a more detailed Corviknight.

Size has no bearing on what makes a design good, this is the dumbest argument ive ever seen.

Gigantimaxing looks trash as a gimmick. I didnt think they could get much worse than Z-moves yet here we are.

Shield has the best version exclusives so far imo.

I've never been that much into Pokémon, but these character designs are simply fantastic. First time since...ever that i want to see more and more about a game in this franchise.

So I can get Sword and get the better Gym leader or Shield for the better Pokemon (Larvitar is dope) neat....

Trailer looks great but some of these ideas are just bad...still excited though

The leak didn't have any mention of the ghost or fighting gym leaders, but it did mention Rose. Perhaps they changed it later into development?

The gym leaders have been all amazing so far, can't wait for them to be added to Pokemon Masters :)

Yes, I'm sure artists do not take into account when designing a monster if it's going to be a kaiju the size of a building or a 20-centimeter lizard.

Both gym leaders look awesome, so I'm happy with either. I'm still undecided on my version.

The three new Pokémon aren't so much my thing, but I've love plenty of the others. Anyway, Yamper art:
