Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I think the difference is that with most of the other games we got a lot more info up front. We still havnt seen any pokemon outside of the starters. We know very little about the region. It's all a big mystery.
Edit: atleast in my head.
With X & Y that's not the case. We had the starters and Legends in that reveal
Hope the main professor this time around is female, Burnet making her arrival to the main games in Sun and Moon was nice, but we still only have Juniper, Fennel and Burnet at the moment.
I'm going to guess we'll have Professor Hawthorn in this one looking at native UK trees.

I think we'll probably get something next week, I'd be surprised if we had to wait until E3.
That would be interesting, but I see that being avoided.
imo all of the rivals outside of XY and Let's Go have been pretty good.
I honestly don't remember that aspect of the DP reveal cycle. That's pretty crazy. I need to go back and read the old news articles from that time.
I need a shiny Clefable avatar. I'm turning over a new leaf when Sword and Shield comes out by leaving my dark past behind.
Exciting! We're at most about 33 days away from news, maybe even closer! Thanks for this, Joe!
Right! I'd totally forgotten about that. It was originally revealed right around when Emerald launched in the West, too, right? I think that's why I didn't mind it too much back then.
What a weird time.

I heard this a lot over the years and I even repeated it for a while, but I've never been able to locate where it came from. I also remember some article talking about DP's development which had an image of GF employees constructing Sinnoh out of Lego or Lego-likes but I've never been able to find that again either.
Well this IGN article talks about DP being moved from 2005 to 2006 https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/07/12/pokemon-update-2
serebii's archives (which boy what a time capsule) also say 2005 when the games were announced in October 2004
But this IGN article, from their announcement, doesnt mention a date at all, just that they're in development https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/10/07/nds-gets-pokemon-sequels
THIS article mentions upcoming 2005 games across gamecube, gba & ds alongside Masuda pushing 2005 development of the mainline games https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/12/30/pokemon-in-2005
Nintendo's financial documents for 2004 & 2005 also don't list the games at all
So maybe the original unveil had no 2005 date and it was just assumptions (maybe based on proximity to other games?) based on no date given?
e: It occurs to me you have probably seen these exact articles anyway so whoops
Yeah this is one I found, I'm thinking this might have been the origin due to how it was worded. Also don't feel bad about linking me stuff (sometimes people link me my own articles that I wrote), I'd much rather find something I missed than end up with nothing at all.
For SM and USUM didn't they upload the videos usually the day before or the day that Coro Coro leaked?
They almost always release trailers either Tuesday or Thursday at 22 PM JST.
By that time next Tuesday CoroCoro should have already leaked.
I really hope Corocoro gives us some clues about the game, like not even showing a new mon or a new gimmick but simply talking about some features and some confirmation about stuff
2 page spread of the box art with the covers shined out
To this day I cannot believe this was an actual thing pritned in an actual magazine
Meanwhile the Treehouse will reveal half a dozen Pokémon and leak a bunch of new gameplay features.
Oh, and who is expecting a new eeveelution?
I think that since LGPE came out, GF realized that Eevee is popular among players ( personally it's not my cup of tea but heh ): Eevee is a starter, and he's always next to his pal pikachu on Pokemon Center goodies. And don't forget that Eevee Z move in the anime
So if Eevee is so popular, my bet is that GF will get it a brand new evolution soon, maybe a steel type? A new eeveelution could be some serious hype train stuff with fans, implying the game getting more recognition

this is hilarious

Lana and Illima are both said to be competing in the league according to PokeAni and both have regular Eevee at the moment.
Let's take a second and remember the Eevee trainer (as in, he had every eevee evolution and a normal ass eevee) from Unova who everyone thought for sure would evolve Eevee into Sylveon and just didn't
Also I've not kept 100% up with anime upcoming stuff, beyond the occasional title i see on serebii, but is Ash's torracat still set to stay a torracat?
Actually I think they're straight up not on there at all. If you compare with the final boxes, they take up about 90% of the screen. You can make out the blurred logos, but you'd need to shine out the entire box to hide lunala
I'm surprised Shauna didn't return. it felt like they were hinting at that with her going to an untitled far away region
and who returned? Dexio and Sina!
I don't know why, but I'm not complaining
Vacation Dexio and Sina had way more personality than their XY selves, and they had great outfits, so I definitely didn't mind.I'm surprised Shauna didn't return. it felt like they were hinting at that with her going to an untitled far away region

I think some have been speculating that it's going to evolve in the upcoming Celebi episode were Ash travels back in time and meets a young Professor Kukui.
The Alolan League seems pretty basic compared to the past ones in anime. It seems anyone can compete and there is no established rules or suggestions on how many Pokemon can enter. Makes sense as this is the first League competition in the region.
Not sure if they can make it as compelling as the previous season for the fanbase or not. Already some fans are thinking it as a "fake league".
Though the SuMo season is already divisive for a lot of people from the art style to the breaking of the formula by having Ash more grounded in attending school instead of traveling around.
