New Pokémon Sword & Shield Trailer (Gigantamaxing, new pokémon, version exclusive gym leaders and Pokémon)
- Thread starter Xavi

So, people still need to spam the Raid for the Gigantmax Pokemon and Shiny Pokemon at the same time.
Updated chart for all the currently confirmed Legacy Pokemon.
Not so relevant, but I was pointed out that Mudkip - Mightyena had the wrong numbers, so I updated the original pic. It's already on Deviantart if you're interested for the next update :P
What I hope that they do again with the designs are Pokémons based on animals, but like, lesser known animals.
Let's take a look at dolphins. For an awful lot of time, people have been asking for a dolphin Pokémon. Of course, many people want it to be the more popular specie of dolphins, the oceanic dolphin:
...But I hope that if they do a dolphin mon, it would rather be based on a less popular specie, I think that it would make it much more original and interesting. One cool choice is the Gangetic dolphin:
Look at this guy. He looks so goofy and cute, it's just unfair at this point.
I wish they made more abstract looking monsters. Like, creatures with animal-like features but that you can't tell for sure what kind of animal it is. Like Drowzee, Jigglypuff, Sableye or Impidimp.
They seemed to regret that considering US/UM though.
Also, going by the leaks,
the enemy team seems to be just a bunch of hooligans who cheer for the champion. Then, again, it also mentioned an evil legendary, so I guess they might just have overlooked mentioning the human associated with them.
Drowzee is just an humanoid Baku (Japanese mythological animal that eats dreams).

I really think Gigantamaxing will be mainly a postgame thing, like Mega Evos in previous gens, with most of them being rewards for side missions and the like
Alcreme is just Espurr full of cream.... can't unsee. Ugh these new designs aren't very good. I can't stop laughing at the cake and cream pokemon.... the cake is making me die of laughter. It looks so damn silly.... And hmmm Gigantamaxing feels absolutely unnecessary to me. They wanted to go for no megas and no z moves but this seems stronger unless i'm missing something? I wonder how rare they will be. If they are as rare as shinies then fine but if they are common ... no.
Yeah, I adore Hypno
Gothitelle is also a pretty nice humanoid monster, it's not too uncanny
Me neither. If any, he might have been used by the company, and made believe that he won all those battles, but it wasn't his main intentions to fool people. Then he might help you to defeat the organization once he realizes that he's been used. I mean, giving Charizard to a main villain would be, strange.
The foundation is definitely there for some GACHA bullshit. The outcry if they did this would be unlike anything we've ever seen, so I don't think it will happen. But it does make you wonder how Crystals will be obtained.
Hell I'd settle for Fighting types that aren't humanoid or human/animal hybrids. For instance, a python or a crocodile
Good to see the Hitmons make their first appearance in regional dex since HG/SS (GSC if you don't include remakes)! Maractus joins Bronzor/Bronzong and Tympole/Palpitoad/Seismitoad in making its first appearance since Gen V.Updated chart for all the currently confirmed Legacy Pokemon.
Additions since the last version.
- Added info box in bottom right corner explaining each colour and symbol.
- Added version number in top right corner. Going to be v 0.something until the game comes out/datamining tells us all just to show image is incomplete.
- Added Last Updated in top left corner to show when the chart was updated last.
- Added Noibat evolution line. (Was revealed previously, was waiting on next big update)
- Added Togekiss (Missed adding it in previous chart by mistake.)
- Added Hitmontop evolution line.
- Added Woobat evolution line.
- Added Helioptile evolution line.
- Added Pumpkaboo evolution line.
- Added Jangma-O evolution line.
- And added Maractus! Everyone lets get your Maractus Dance Party started!
EDIT: 0.2.1 update, actually add Tyrogue and Hitmontop to the chart. Hitmontop gif to apologise. Let it rip.
Yes we are still waiting on Shuckle.
For a non-bipedal fighting type, I would go with something like a snake; here's a nice design from a mobile app:
Fair enough, I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to the Treehouse when they explained that.
Still reeks of Gacha-like mechanics to me, though.
Why? You think they are going to not put the evolution stones in the game?
Making players repeat Max Raid Battles to capture Gigamax-capable Pokemon is one way to add post-game content, I guess.
there's nothing gacha-like in it. It's just a classic raid/trial mechanic taken straight from MMOs and MMO-lite games with a minor chance to drop the rare gigamax pokémon.
It's what the franchise needed since a long time as some real long term content.
Lilligant isn't related to Whimsicott.
It was just the version exclusive counterpart in past games.
But Petlili was in the Friend Safari in Y, but Whimsicott/Cottonee could only be transferred in.
Oh, gotcha. I thought it was because of the stones, I barely remember Gen 6.
Sure it's rounder, but it's still a small heavy pokemon with one eye.
their insistence on pikachu, geodude, and zubat clones got old years ago
I actually like it less than Slurpuff. Slurpuff is a cute dog/cream puff hybrid, Alcremie is just some living frosting with the same EXACT typing and ability as Slurpuff.
It does indeed look a bit better. Still not nearly as good as I would like. Textures are still very low res, just not as horrendously bad as they were before. But it is an improvement. Hopefully it improves a bit more before launch.
Well I'll be. Nice that disgusting purple filter is gone.
Ok, I'll admit I didn't notice that was a wheel. Just thought it was part of its body.
Wtf is this take. They barely look similar, and it looks much more like Roggenrola anyway.
And it doesn't matter either way, since Rolycoly looks different enough with its wheel and all, and will almost certainly evolve into something completely different from Metagross or Gigalith.
Especially when Pikachu, Geodude and Zubat keep appearing in almost every regional dex
Yeah the artwork doesn't do it justice. The in game model really shows the wheel aspect during battle.
Not much variety in types shown so far really. 2 Steel types, 3 Grass types, 2 Water types, 2 Rock types, 2 Fairy types. Early signs that the last few Gens most neglected types (Ground, Poison and Ice) will be suffering again.
Rolycoly's ability is really interesting.
Rolycoly is definitely going to be speed-based and be completely different from those other Pokemon.
I'm not sure you're really using the term "gacha" correctly
Yes I thought more about Roggenrola, especially seeing it on the mine-like tunnel. In fact, I bet they'll share habitat.
I kinda don't mind the Pikaclones, even though I never use them. Always a little interested in what they come up with next.
It's prolly that train of thought that led them to go all in and create Mimikyu lol
I hope Octillery, if it's in, receives a Gigantamax form reminiscent of its original design
Don't remember if it was mentioned on a leak...
I'm not saying it's going to cost real life money, what I'm getting from this is that you spend an in-game currency (the crystals) to get something at random (whatever Pokemon you end up encountering in a raid.) I can't remember if they tell you what Pokemon you're going to battle beforehand, but if there's no way to select what Pokemon to battle, it's definitely similar to a gacha in that you have to keep rerolling until you get what you want. I feel the same way toward this as I feel about breeding for a shiny or something with certain IVs or a good Nature, I feel like it's needlessly obtuse for the sake of artificially making these things more difficult to get.
Mantyke and Mantine are in, so I would expect the Remoraid line to make it.
Holy cow I didn't notice his wheel, this is so cool omg we're getting a train pokemon
