This game looks way better than the initial trailers by far.
I guess that's patience is a virtue considering the negatives I saw from the first trailer was that it "looks" the same.
D1P Shield Version.

so far I love everything I've seen.
Aside from Rotom Phone. Please give us the option to shut it up if it behaves in any way similarly to Rotomdex.

Art that's probably already been posted;
Okay, I've found my new favourite Pokémon! What a wonderful design!
Thanks!
Sounds to me like it'll be pretty massive and just be one huge area compromised of just about everything we see outside of towns and major areas, like hyrule field on roids. Works for me. Especially with the dynamic day/night and weather system, should be interesting. A lot of the areas they showed roaming pokemon in look pretty diverse in the trailer, so I'd imagine there are different biomes in the wild area as well.
octillery in some sort of suit/armor, but could be waterpolo like someone has said
Probably, hopefully there aren't too many Dynamax exclusives
That was a great trailer, much better than the first one. Getting more hyped!
I love all the Pokemon designs so far, it seems they have found a good balance after gen 5 and some misteps in gen 6.
Im torn on the Dynamax system. I like it because it means we will have challenging gym battles (especially if we choose not to make use of the feature, like I will), but I hat the fact that the raid battles, which look cool and are probably gonna be very challenging if Pokemon Go is anything to go by, are locked behind multiplayer and it sucks I'll never be able to enjoy them because of that.
As for the graphics, they're all right. Textures still look bad and I'm sure they won't change much until release, and the Wild area looks a bit barren, but free camera goes a long way to make the game feel more modern, and the art direction is on the right place.

Also, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MILO???
It's like a buff dude with a toddlers face. It's going to give me nightmares. Maybe this art direct was on drugs when he made this game... sigh

He looks like a fashion disaster to me. By far the most badly dressed champion ever.
He looks dope
It's Octillery in a police uniform pretty sure, that's the police station.
I should point out to you that random battles in this game are essentially you seeing an exclamation point in the grass that you go run to. Though they did hint that there will be times you will get ambushed in the grass as well ON TOP of pokemon roaming both the routes AND the Open areas
So yeah there is a lot of hybrid things going on! Its pretty exciting and will really mix up how you encounter and capture pokemon
Thank fuck for that.
Either stick to what you've already started (Megaevo, Z-Moves) or add to the base mechanics of battles, stop it with this extra gimmick supermove shit stuffed on top of everything else into every new game
It's annoying that they keep adding this shit and having to make later games backwards compatible with it, so you have to find all the mega stones again in SuMo and now I wouldn't be surprised if we have to go through all that again + Z-Crystals in SS.
Octillery with body armor and helmet kinda looks like it was inspired by it's G/S Beta design and here's he looked in case you didn't know:
Pretty sure that's the in-universe fire brigade. It's the classic merryweather helm and button uniform look of old school Fireman Sam.
Edit: Meanwhile the doors are very much those of a fire station
Any guesses/info on how the raids with multiplayer work? In the trailer you can see people already waiting at the beacon and a few others running up at slightly different times...
Do we think that you connect with people and then they are persistent in your game (just not able to participate in story events/battles with you outside of the raids) or that you connect AT the raid beacons or you connect entering the wild area?
I'm curious how it will play.

You should watch what your saying cause your wrong. Try to be less rude especially when you dont understand who your talking about.
Pretty sure he means you saying a user is from bizaro world.

Well theres buff dudes with baby faces irl lol and yep they look just as ridiculous tbh 😂
Something I do want to point out though: the first Dynamaxing screenshots seem to be a Battle Spot background, complete with the battle timer, so they will probably have competitive implications at least!
So looking at the the grass chimp's health, it got a 50 percent health boost rounded down, 41 to 61. I wonder if it will be 50 percent across all stats, different for each pokemon and how much more powerful the moves are. That does seem fairly significant and makes me wonder what will happen to megas. Too early to tell though, it may be different at later levels and maybe only HP and new moves are all you get. Perhaps they will also only let you use megas or dynamax once with some teams still being better using mega evolution.
He's basically just supposed to be a soccer player with a king's cape since Pokemon battles in Galar are sporting events.
I don't get Dynamax. Surely when one person uses it, the other person counters by using it, and then they just nullify each other so what has anyone gained?
I'm neutral on Dynamax but I don't hate it. I think it'll probably be fun.
Corviknight is best new Pokemon.
Wooloo is a cutie.
Gossifleur isn't anything special but Eldegoss is alright. I like its little cloak.
Drednaw doesn't really do it for me.
SHIELD WOLF > SWORD WOLF
Also mixed on raid battles, but that's probably just because I rarely do multiplayer stuff so eh.
The region and game look beautiful though. So excited.

From its description:
This makes it sound late-mid game to me. Also sounds like a single stage mon.
Probably posted a bunch, but just in case, seeing overworld Pokemon and random battles are in the non Wild Area parts.
I'm guessing they're finally bringing back the PSS, except instead of icons you see trainers running around in the Wild Area. So you'll see a few of them and they'll refresh as they leave/on an interval. They already said you can exchange league cards/items with them (like O-Powers) and I'm assuming you can also battle, trade, and connect for Raid battles as well.
THE PSS IS BACK!
