[Sparkedglory2]

I'm torn between the monkey and the rabbit 🤔

 

[ToadPacShakur]

I'm so happy to see that people can stop being upset over Let's Go and saying it killed the series now.

Anyone who says that can suck it. Yea I'd rather battle the wild pokemon rather than just catch them, but I enjoyed the game a lot overall

 

[Airbar]

Names are garbage (you can already tell they will lean into Arthurian stuff with that title).
Oh and random encounters are in, I'm out.

 

[-shadow-]

Looked a lot better than expected.

 

[Zeusy]

YAs bithch I loce ths shit!

 

[Charamiwa]

I can't believe it's fixed camera. The one realistic evolution for the series and we don't get it.

 

[Redstreak]

Hell yeah random encounters!

 

[Malek]

Looks pretty generic tbh, I guess I expected more maybe over the shoulder camera would've been nice..

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

Scorbunny best new starter. He's adorable. Hopefully he doesn't evolve to a roided out POS like muscle cat.

 

[Relix]

The best thing about Let's Go were the roaming Pokémon and they took it away. I'll still buy though. Fire starter for me!

 

[Zacmortar]

GROOKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! GROOKEY!!!!!!!!!!! MONKEY GRASS STARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM>????????????

Pokemon SwoSh goty

 

[Kinsei]

...

I don't like any of the starters.

 

[iFirez]

They look great, Sobble is my go to Starter so far.

[Mr. RPG]

The starters are so boring. These might be the worst starters ever.

 

[Deleted member 28386]

Well since we have 5 and a half hours to go and I'll still be in a meeting by then, here's my predictions:

Fire: A rabbit with huge burning feet and the ears of a cat
Water: a 6-pack of Coors
Grass: kale

Hey I was pretty close with the first one!

The other two don't look great so it's the best by default.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This is actually the first time in a while I dig all 3 starters. Graphics look better than I expected. This honestly looks awesome.

 

[Forerunner]

 

[Kirbivore]

Sure Wild Battles are back but.... they still kept the random encounters......

 

[Black_Red]

Scorbunny is gonna be Fire/Fighting so hard it hurts

Click to shrink...

Not sure, I think it might be Fire/Fairy

 

[VodkaFX]

Region looks interesting.

Underwhelmed by the starters though...

 

[Codosbuya]

Cant wait to play Suikoden 6.

 

[Becks']

Textures look terrible.

 

[Michilin]

Scorbunny is passable, the other two are straight trash

 

[Ghos]

 

[jett]

Pokemon must be the most popular IP in the world with the least effort put into it.

 

[Metalgus]

Nothing points to 2 players coop, sucks if that's the case.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm really liking what I'm hearing of the soundtrack so far.

 

[Whatislove]

#TeamGrookey

 

[JigglesBunny]

Gahbage starters but I'm still hyped.

 

[Wispmetas]

Game is looking great!

 

[jph139]

Love the UK look for the region (and the cute hat for the girl - dude is a dweeb in comparison).

Gonna be tough between Grookey and Sobble for the starter though... both are adorable. Guess it all comes down to the final evolution. If we get an ape half as cool as Infernape, that'll definitely be the way to go.

 

[Hark]

Nah didn't do it for me. Was hoping it'd have a new look and but this looks like SuMo ported to Switch.

 

[Telpis]

Thoose starters I'll grow to love them in time. I only liked the fire bunny.

Pokémon King & Queen would be better than sword and shield

 

[Sou Da]

 

[GhostTrick]

Looks good. Cities finally looks like cities in term of modelisation. Still no full camera movements ?
Visuals are a bit underwhelming although I love the visual style. It kinda looks empty though ?

 

[Damn Silly]

So I don't mind Sword and Shield as names, but I'm half expecting Gen 9 to be shit like Pokemon Knife and Pokemon Fork at this rate. Also, the starter names aren't great either.

I do think what little we saw of the world looks great though.

 

[LinkStrikesBack]

Seems to be turn-based for wild battles :/

Click to shrink...

....

Obviously?

 

[Peru]

Random encounters, bleh. Thing of the past.

 

[kvetcha]

Bummed about no Overworld Pokémon. Looks nice otherwise. Obviously has some work to be done on the technical side.

 

[Deleted member 5322]

That world looks really empty, pretty dull artstyle

 

[Deleted member 33190]

That region map looks so small.. Sigh.
Still excited tho

 

[OmegaX]

Was it the stream or did the framerate looked bad?

 

[Guru_Godzilla]

Nothing looks amazing. It looks good for sure though. Disappointing in no free camera but as long as they use more dynamic angles like Sun and Moon then I'll be fine. I'm also hoping for more branching and open routes but I'm doubting it.

 

[ffdgh]

I'm pleasantly impressed. Fire bunny is a go.

 

[PSqueak]

That bunny better have the frilliest, girliest final form ever, after primarina i can't go back to choosing beastly starters.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

"Scorbunny" Did they even try? :p

Anyway, Grass stays losing. Water for me.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

That was a big meh. The names are bad, the logos are bad and the starting Pokemon are really low tier design.

 

[ASTROID2]

Omg! Looks great!
