Pokémon Sword and Shield: Sirfetch'd Reveal
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
Dont worry, thanks to Grookey the curse will now shift to Grass starters
Pure fighting makes no sense on this. Why the hell didn't they do fighting flying? It could have been a bulkier, slower Hawlucha.
Have you ever seen a bird wielding a lance and shield also flap its wings?
How's it gonna fly with all that shit it's holding?
Like, think.
Man, I didn't even realize SirFetch was Sword Exclusive.
I hope the Shield exclusive pokemon is cool

It's still a bird, even with the shield and lance. There are other Pokemon that don't even have wings or are flightless but retain their Flying type, like Doduo/Dotrio, and Delibird and those are just the ones off the top of my head. It really should have been part Flying.
Can't holster them somehow? Or you know just be like Doduo line which doesn't fucking fly? Like, think.
I still say those arent their aces and they just didnt reveal them. People seem to be thinking the same thing with Bea having that Psychic line from Gen V as his ace when...I bet he just has the starter strong to you.
I think the idea here is that Farfetch'd's true potential is being a Fighting type to the point where it rejects it's former focus as Normal/Flying
Doduo flying is dumb. Gamefreak doing dumb stuff 20 years ago isn't relevant to anything.
They choose typing based on flavour first and gameplay second.
I'm sure you can spin logic around it in various ways the problem that Pokémon has consistently run into through the generations is repetitive typing and designs. We're already seeing a large portion of the announced Pokémon mirroring types and designs of other generations, which is waste.
We have plenty of pure fighting type Pokémon. We have one flying/fighting type Pokémon. This was an opportunity to expand on that concept but low and behold.
It will already be able to fly anyways since Farfetch'd can learn the move.
Which I think along with Golurk would make it the only non-legendary or pseudo legendary that is not flying type to be able to learn fly. And it's a bird. Stupid.
Team so far, looking good!
Really shows how modern Pokemon designs are much more detail-heavy compared to the older generations, particularly 1 and 2.
They took out Mega Evolution.
Permanent evolution? Well, rules are made to be broken.
Mega Evolution was supposed to be the path on that but know it's gone, lol.
All you guys saying "there's no reason to buy Shield now" or "as if there was less of a reason to go with Shield" are going to be eating crow when they announce the Shield exclusive counter-part.
Though, how exactly is this going to be Sword exclusive? You can only catch Farfetch'd in Sword? Just import your one from previous versions and evolve.

Importing isn't going to be available at launch so for a little bit it will matter.
Presumably that'll be it, yeah.Unless they do something stupid like farfetch'd is physically impossible to evolve outside of Sword. But even I can't be that pessimistic about gamefreak decisions.
Though the transfer option wont even be a thing until at LEAST january 2020, and probably more like february or march, so its more like "get a friend to trade you a farfetch'd" like you would any version exclusive.
Watch the Shield Counterpart be more competitive ready than Sirfetchd.
It spins the leek lance above its head like a helicopter, obviously.
Galarian evolution, similar to Linoone to Obstagoon.
Don't worry I'm sure it won't get any more confusing.
It's an evolution.
It's not really all that confusing. We've gotten plenty of cross-gen evolutions in the past.
It's an evolution exclusive to Farfetch'd in the Galar region.
Yes, but Pokemon like Sneasel could evolve outside of Sinnoh.
We don't know if the evolution will be exclusive to Galar.
With Obstagoon they worded it that way because only the regional variant can evolve into it.
It pretty much says so on the website, and this trailer even starts with the other two known Pokemon lines so far that have evolutions that are exclusive to Galar.
