Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
To be fair, half of British culture originally comes from France.
Seriously, someone said they are disappointed it's not 1st person, when has Pokemon ever been 1st person?
METROID IS NOT FUCKING FIRST PERSON!!!!!!!
FINAL FANTASY IS NOT FUCKING ACTION!!!!!!!!
ASSASSINS CREED IS NOT FUCKING ROLE PLAYING!!!!!!!
Things change.
I suspect I had forgotten Hearts R but that's the last time it happened and was around the time of Vesperia/Graces. Every main entry since has Enemy model on screen.
Reading this after seeing that trailer absolutely breaks my heart. God, I want this game so badly.
Maybe one of the Pokeclone games will pull it off someday, if GameFreak isn't interested.
Extremely unremarkeable and forgettable character designs. Heck the rabbit literally has the same toothy grin face as Chespin. Couldn't be anymore creatively bankrupt if they tried.
Agree.
Personal taste here, but I feel since X/Y the basic design, and the customisation of the girls beats out the boys with each game.
INFORMATION
1. NEW STARTERS
2. NEW REGION: GALAR REGION
3. MEDIA/SCREENSHOTS
Add ":orig" at the end of the twitter images to have the full resolution (for the map for example).
I think it works when inserting it in the page too:
Edit: yep, Resetera recognises the data even if it doesn't end in ".jpg"

What is this game?i'mma just leave these here again
I'm hoping they just removed NPCs for trailer reasons and the released game will be properly populated
It's exactly the kind of "innovation" the people complaining about random encounters or even wild battles being back want.
Whether they are fantastic is up to debate and not some objective truth though.
I'm not crazy about the starters, but they're fine. I have never played any true pokemon game, I play Pokemon Go and have played Snap and Puzzle League. This'll be my first true experience with the game so on that point I'm really looking forward to playing it.
Monster Hunter is never going to be taken of a Portable console because it sells millions in Japan
You are literally the same voice that keeps telling me impossible things are impossible
Im done listening
Just like COD, Battlefield, FIFA, Madden, etc. Games that leave no kind of lasting impression. For better or worse I guess, Gamefreak will keep doing what they're doing.
Chespin was the best though so I'm fine with thisExtremely unremarkeable and forgettable character designs. Heck the rabbit literally has the same toothy grin face as Chespin. Couldn't be anymore creatively bankrupt if they tried.
Why is the map so vertical? Are they setting up a straight line? 😐
What do you gain from random encounters?

Nothing in that trailer really did anything to blow me away.
Fortunately, I went into this announcement expecting to not be blown away and for the game to not be this super grand re-imagining of the whole series that people were, for some reason, hyping themselves up to expect. So I actually wound up pleasantly surprised by what we saw. It's not a technical showcase, but Pokemon has never been a technical showcase for any hardware it's been on, and this region design and art really jives with me more than Alola ever did. The world looks pleasant to travel around in and that's fine with me.
I'm not going to try and draw too many conclusions about gameplay elements since there's so much we didn't see, so claiming that it's too samey is a bit premature. The scene of the trainer walking into a footie stadium is definitely intriguing and makes sense given the region. It's cool to see the sporting aspect of pokemon put into the context of a real-life sports venue like that. I wonder if there'll be some sort of large team-battling mechanic?
Like I said I'm not blown away by anything, but this is the most interested I've been by a first Pokemon reveal since Black/White, so to me this direct did its job.

I'm fine that this game isn't BotW Pokemon. I feel it'll just make Pokemon worse off long term and then we won't get games for plethora of years.
Odyssey's changes were mostly superficial. It was just bigger Mario 64 level design and costumes. The only new major change in that game was the capture mechanic.
I love so much of that world and the character designs. Like Kalos mixed with Colosseum.
But I can't shake how uninspired those starters are compared to the 7 other gens. Mostly from a shapes and silhouette perspective. I hope they evolve into really impressive things because we've seen lizards, monkeys, and bunnies before.

We still don't know much about the game, but this trailer met:
- Graphically, something similar to DQXI.
- Random encounters
- A big region with every city feeling like its own thing.
There are so many pokemon games now I don't think anyone is really sure.
I saw this intresting theory:
The starters will be based off UK Sports:
Grass:
Cricket
Fire:
Football
Water:
Rugby

It's shy but the trailer basically hinted it's evo path is going to lead it to being either a tactical sniper or assassin.
Yeah..
That is just the exact same texture from the 3DS games.
if I learn anything from Kingdom Hearts, third game is staff.i'll just wait for Pokemon GUN
and my main will be bang bang
Zelda has always had pretty big open areas in 3D, they just usually didn't have much going on in them.
Skyloft is what happens when you have needlessly open areas with nothing interesting to fill it with.
I don't get why people are saying this is based on Scandinavia when 1) we had a shot of a football stadium, which is more closely associated with England than the Scandinavian countries, and 2) The Cerne Abbas giant is in the fucking trailer.
Go make your own then, see how well that works out for youExtremely unremarkeable and forgettable character designs. Heck the rabbit literally has the same toothy grin face as Chespin. Couldn't be anymore creatively bankrupt if they tried.
Pixar movies are made for children, does that mean Pixar should never be ambitious with their stories?? Also, you do realize we have TONS of video game franchises made for children, and yet, they appeal to everyone with their design choices? You're using children as a bullshit excuse to not be ambitious.
It's what I expected, though not what I was hoping to see. I'm not sure about the starters but I'm sure they'll grow on me. I really hope the game isn't as linear as it looks because that is the one thing that I felt they really needed to fix after Sun, though I suppose a linear structure could theoretically be ok if they cut the constant tutorials and cutscene roadblocks
I agree, I've been playing with girls since XY for this reason.
