Pokémon Sword and Shield announced. Coming Late 2019
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Yeah, they are.
Also, your name is very fitting here lol.
Most likely yeah.. Some scenes had some frame pacing in the trailer
People said musician for Grookey and artist for Sobble
Υep. I wonder though what its secondary typing would be, cause a music based fairy type after Primarina is dull, and psychic or dark would be awfully boring for me. I hope its not Grass/Dark like some suggest cause that would ruin it for me.
Apparently all the controversial and poor design choices are exactly what the series needs to move forward and Gamefreak removing them means the franchise is ruined forever.
And remember how in the course of 5 months they redid Castelia almost entirely in the graphics department and touched up a lot of the game?Remember when Black and White were announced and this was all we got? Lol
And remember when XY was revealed and Lumiose was in an incomplete state as well as a the other environments being nowhere near finished in terms of textures and aesthetic? Yeah I think nobody in this thread does. This is nothing new for Gamefreak. A couple of pixelated textures and some dubious particle effects are childs play for Gamefreak when it comes to polishing their games, the games are gonna look much cleaner when E3 comes along.
I feel this is gonna be something that might happen or at least partially with the Football aspect.
Kalos Postgame is a lock imo, and no one will see it coming.
Another thing I wondered. How will they handle a vertical map in game? Like, unless its always zoomed in, that thing will look cramped as hell in handheld mode, and on tv mode as well there will be a whole lot of nothing surrounding the map. I wonder perhaps if in game its actually on its side?
They might be funded splendidly but if you only have a small team, you can only do so much, right? Or am I seeing this wrong?
I agree, except I'm split on either fairy or psychic for grookey.
I was thinking that going with the themes of the other 2 Sobble is a shy reclusive type which works well with the idea of the arts. and since it is a chameleon it is possible it's final evolution will be more colourful, confident and vibrant
I see it as a Graal anagram.
But we'll see if they include more Arthurian legend in it or not.
A postgame is the last thing we should take for granted as the past told us.Υep.

That sounds awesome!
I really wish GF would let us make custom rulesets and clauses like Smash does. It would be fun to do Little Cups etc. once in a while. Instead they allow everything in non-ranked formats, and not allow certain formats in ranked, which makes for a miserable experience x amount of times.
Does anyone have prerelease screenshots for X/Y and S/M, along with final screenshots to show how they polished?
What about Fairy/Steel/Dragon trio? Like fairytales and knights and dragons and that sort of thing that people associate with the UK.
I was going more with the drummer/sports/artist theme.
I guess dragon could be linked to artistry.
Heh yeah, I heavily rely on datamines myself to do early teambuilding, and choosing my versions, since I mainly play Pokemon for battling online. For example, I choose Popplio in Sun because it was the starter that didn't need egg moves, and I chose Let's Go Eevee because it's a far better Pokemon competitively than Pikachu, something we only knew after the new moves were datamined.
Sure, but I really don't see Gamefreak being so oblivious to what fans want and not consider a 2nd region postgame in this case. Its like if they went ahead and made a New Jersey Region and didn't consider putting Unova into the games.
I usually solve this particular issue by getting the second version at some point...
Yeah, I'm one of those people. For me in-game is more about collecting than competitive play though, I have many boxed filled with battle ready mon that have not seen a whole lot of action...
Yeah the trailer looked like 25-30 fps but it was probs pre alpha
I think Kanto in Gold/Silver was just a matter of right place, right time, and Iwata's ability to compress the data for the games to a ridiculous degree.
I don't really think we'll ever see that again, unfortunately. I'm skeptical that we'll even get a postgame at all beyond a Battle Tower and a legendary or two, honestly.

All XY screenshots. Lumiose city is the most obvious, but they also updated the grass texture, added some basic geometry for the dirt path to be slightly depressed compared to the grass, added some depth to the battpe scenes which were a bit flat in the background, and other small touches.

SM on the other hand had far less obvious touch ups if at all because they showed it relatively late compared to previous games and probably hid some of the uglier stuff.
... wow, this actually is the first time! They got pretty close in 2013 with A Link Between Worlds and X/Y, but Mario was on the Wii U that year instead.
Could the wolves/lions from the title logos be a reference to the Chelsea - Man Utd crests? They seem so similar.
The faces look too flat. You can see it on the characters too. Maybe they were trying to invoke an anime style, but it just looks bad in a 3D environment in my opinion.
The area in the north seems to be more than the league.
I hope they will impliment a battle frontier, it's just to good to get lost in the different facilities and face the people there. Imagine if they would integrate a online facility
Looking up some more prerelease screenshots, SM was actually the first game and then Let's Go as well had no obvious graphical impurities compared to the final product. I'm actual kinda surprised Gamefreak didn't have an issue with releasing a trailer with em after a ln entire gen of avoiding that.
Gyms are now Footie Stadiums. Now if its a general sports theme or literally the Premier League it remains to be seen.
People are expecting London to be the last area we explore, but with the trains I can see it being visited at least once by the 3rd badge. That ain't gonna be the league nor the post game.
I'm fairly certain gyms were mentioned in the presentation.
...how did i miss this?
this is good news
I see, alright.
The postgame could also be the Island, they teased in sun and moon idk
Not surprised about that after the February Direct, where all (but one) of the first-party announcements got eShop listings straight away. Makes the lack of a Link's Awakening listing stranger tbh.Already has entries on the eShop
For me the best part of the trailer was how the Pokémon models look:
Seem like the models from Sun/Moon upresed. Got no problem with that but hope they put more work into some of them. Pikachu and some others have a ton of work in them but others kinda eh.
Also!
Do you guys think we will finally get remade gen 1-3 sounds!? I don't need them voice acted but I need them to not sound like gameboy mono audio lol.
Literally the only issue I currently have is that the frame rate looks rough and I thought the frame rate on Doom and Wolfenstein was fine. That and the return of Random battles and other backwards gameplay decisions that Let's Go made improvements on, this is the Code Veronica of Pokémon compared to Let's Go (the RE3 of Pokémon)
Why exactly do people want random encounters to be around still? Why not like Earthbound style? I don't see what having random tall grass encounters adds to the game.
Also baffling Scorbunny is leading the poll and Grookey is last. The starters are not my favorite but at least Grookey is ok.
