Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
See what I'm talking about? Now that's just pointless negativity over a video game. People are welcome to be disappointed but becoming hostile and attacking people is the real disappointment..
Could have just put Pikachu in the roaming world if that was the case.
Just read Gamefreak has 143 employees.
How can this be the result of 143 people.

If that is fantastic, then what is this turn-based, monster-collecting RPG from the PS3 era?
I didn't notice when I was watching the trailer but I just realized there's random battles again. I don't hate that, but man I loved what Let's Go did with having the Pokémon on the overworld, and I really thought they would do that again with Sword & Shield.
I also think it's fair to say people don't want LGPE, but liked parts of it and wishes they took some of those good ideas and used them moving forward.
Since people are having trouble seeing the routes, I drew them out:
It looks like the starting area is separated from the rest of Galar by trail travel.
South of the starting area is a forest.
After the train is a huge open field you can probably explore entirely.
After the huge open field is a walled city or a canyon that takes you to stonehenge and other towns.
West from the walled city takes you to more train tracks, possibly the mine and leads to that town with the green stadium and hillside art.
There appear to be 5 soccer stadiums/gyms.
London is in the north on top of a mountain.
Still hoping for there to be an Ireland map just to throw us off.
So people can't be disappointed? On a discussion board for videogames? After a big videogame announcement? Jfc.
The games framerate was tanking without a bunch of extra shit on screen. I hope you're right either way.
You don't need to change your mind, because you are correct!tbf Vanilluxe is very cute & creative (Change My Mind)
Yet they're reusing the models/animations for almost 6 years.
I'm a Sobble main, but I fucks with some Grookey. We coo' bro.
Judging by the responses here. I'd say its that.
Why anyone would be hyped for this is beyond me.
Its about time Nintendo let someone else try out the franchise.
TBF, Let's Go is a released game, this one is still at least 6 months in active development.
I'm not saying it'll look much better, but pretty sure we should see a jump in quality like back then with Mario Odyssey, comparing the E³ build to the game's launch.
Let's Go seems cleaner in many ways.
I doubt its the final build. We still have many months before it releases. If graphical prowess is a problem for people, they should hold up and wait for the next few trailers to see if there are any improvements.
Oh please have a Job Centre like please, I would die if I saw that in a video game, let alone a bloody POKEMON GAME!
It's an all new traditional Pokémon game for Switch... that's exactly what I wanted I'm very happy with this news. Sure the starter Pokémon are kind meh but their evolved forms will no doubt look better so nbd.
People complained about the Let's Go games so now we have the standard game and more bitching...amazing.

Battle Revolution also looked a lot better than this. That texture quality....
This right here is why this game looks lame as hell to me right now. Once again, fucking Battle Revolution on the fucking Wii, nearly a decade ago, did better battle animations than this new game by Game Freak proper.
They're STILL doing the lame crap of Pokémon just doing an animation and causing an attack to happen 5 feet away from them.
This absolutely looks like a Switch game. Get your head out of your ass.
They can go all in on the next Let's go, I don't care, as long as they keep the mainline as it is. People liked it so sure, keep doing it.

You got me
Yup I'm in game looks great. I wonder if Switch will get it's own version of Pokebank so we can transfer pokemon over.
lol no. Let's Go looks flat and boring. Worst art design for any Pokémon ever, while SwSh is pretty lovely.
My guesses based on design:
Scorbunny becomes a Fire/Ground Football/Soccer Player
Grookie becomes a Grass/Rock Gorilla
Sobble becomes a Water/Ghost Sea Serpent (Think Nessie)

+ Starters are amazing
+ Nice choice for Region
+ Cool names
- Random encounters
- Underwhelming graphics
- Linear / Small map (?)
- Fixed camera in some areas (?)
- No Pokemon following you
Overall I'm a bit dissapointed. Not sure if the two question marks are actually the case, I've watched the vid multiple times and it was the impression I got.
I like the Pokemon formula and the battle mechanics, I just wish they would invest in creating a more lively and explorable world. After Let's Go the overworld seems so barren.
Definetely wanted a bit more :/

I do, and I agree it still looks good, and this thread isn't even nearly as negative as I thought it'd be considering some of the hype.
Yeah definitely more use of shading which is nice if you look at how bad textures were in Let's Go sometimes.
I wish it'd look better, but you honestly couldn't expect more. Pokémon Let's Go sold 10 million copies in 2018 and they want another one in 2019. These games monetize like shit without three-five year dev cycles! I had wished to see Dragon Quest XI as a visual benchmark and the game doesn't quite hit this mark. Also wish there were no randomn battles, Pokémon on the field and more dynamic battles. The latter points would have been more important to me than Xenoblade-level graphics.
We'll see...
Given sale numbers, people should not be surprised at this serviceable yet minimal effort though. Pokémon has always been a series for the masses more than anything else.
It will still be a good game because the formula works even if the series has some outdated elements in it.

There's so many different things that various people want tout of the games that things do end to get quite heated. It's also why you'll see a bunch of people proclaiming that "X" is great while a bunch of other people proclaim that it's terrible.
Take the 3DS games for example. A bunch of Pokemon fans love them but a bunch of them (myself included) hate them.
Yeah...
Like I really liked Let's Go, a lot more than I thought I would but it's hard to deny that a series that prints money like this does should be able to.. I dunno, have more money invested into it or something
Reading though parts of this thread, how the hell are people dissatisfied? I really don't know what some people were expecting, of course it's going to be a fucking Pokemon game.
I'm so happy that all the people who complained about Let's Go are now getting a more of the same. In the meantime I will end up enjoying this as I've enjoyed Let's Go.
My hype for a free camera, free roaming Pokémon game are still on the year 2045.

I got a Premier League vibe out of that little clip of the trainer entering the stadium in sports gear.
DQXI is a very traditional JRPG that also gotten rid of random encounter and heavily restrictive linear maps.
Just because you are making a "traditional " game doesn't mean you are not allowed to make steps in elevating the game to new levels while staying faithful to the roots of the franchise.
I think they will announce that feature and the pet mechanics later.
Looks at Botw, super Mario, Xenoblade, Yoshi ,that Kirby game
You sure about that friend?
This get looks like a game made from 2007 a uprez PS2 game
