Pokemon Direct Announced for January 9th

Or they just put this type of content in the now $60 base games like they used to?
We used to get this amount of content (and more) in $40 games.
Am I nuts or are people excited to pay $90 USD total for content that should've been a base Pokemon game
This seems great. Dex being updated for free and also the DLC is still way cheaper than buying a whole new third game.. unless you want both. But either way seems pretty standard and the new content seems pretty meaty. I don't get why there's some negative comments about them charging for DLC when that's essentially been what the third versions were for decades. *facepalm*
You need Shield for the Shield Expansion or Sword for the Sword expansion.
Ahh, we're back to the old strawman nonexistent poster who thought SwSh wouldn't do crazy good like every other pokemon game. No, the base games will still be underwhelming, but this might make up for them. I'm not preordering a game from Gamefreak again though. I'm waiting to see how this actually turns out
Well to be fair some of that stuff should've been in the woefully incomplete base game. Not the isles but the Pokémon and other customization stuff.
No he will insist that it was all one big game that they decided to split. And then he will run out of arguments and say that we are all fanboys that buy everything that says Pokemon so there's no point discussing with us.
So there will still be around 200 Pokemon that didn't make it over
I'd assume it's weird stuff like Unown and Smeargle that they didn't want to bother with their gimmicks.

What is up with Home? Holy shit, it's out next month - they should have had a full breakdown before SwSh were even released and we still have no idea what it looks like, what features it has, how much it will cost...
Really blows my mind. Like, is it just awful? Are they trying to hide it?

I'm on team "$30 for both Armor and Crown", but the wording couldn't have been worse.
It's $30 "each" for the Sword Expansion Pass and Shield Expansion Pass. That's my take.

I'm kinda surprised that we're getting the Mystery Dungeon remake and no news on Pokemon Sleep.
They call them parts though not differing expansions. Pretty sure if you just wanted the expansion (isle and tundra) on one game, it's $30
Nintendo =/= Gamefreak...and you must've missed Nintendo releasing DLC for years now on complete games
30 for armor and tundra, but if you want to play them with sword and shield, you'll have totwice
Fair point.
Personally i would rather buy the games at launch and know that ill be able to upgrade down the line instead of having to buy a full game again down the line.
Especially since you dont really know when and if the 3rd version would even be happening.
technically $150. As there are slight differences in the versions. I dont know if you can play both versions with just one license of the dlc either.
Yes, the Sword version or the Shield version.
Either purchase contains both DLCs. Otherwise they wouldn't be calling this an Expansion Pass with a Part 1 and Part 2.
Wait, so the ending got cut off? What will we be able "acc-"????
Honestly, this looks really cool. It's a bummer that it's so far out, but I hope that gives them plenty of time to add the full National Dex to the games. Please don't have a dexit repeat GF. Hopefully they've realized how much that derailed the conversation about the game.
Also, I am definitely interpreting it as "$30 for Sword expansion pass, $30 for Shield expansion pass," not that each of the two content packs will cost $30 lol

how hard is it to get?
if you have shield, you should get shield expansion for 30 bucks
if you have sword, you should get sword expansion for 30 bucks
if you're a weirdo and have both and want both dlcs, you'll pay 60 bucks
the isle of armor and crown thundra can't be purchased separately and are both part of the same expansion pass. think botw's expansion 1 and 2.

The skipped part was an in-game link to the eShop in the menu after the update, and a Pikachu clothing set + an Eevee clothing set as a bonus for buying the expansion pack that you can use immediately.
Well, they aren't out yet so it remains to be seen. I'm excited, but I also thought Gamefreak was moving with the times with SwSh until I played it...
No each expansion gets you both parts but only for one version. If you want to upgrade both Sword and Shield you need two passes.
RESCUE TEAM REMAKES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
They look so pretty!
I'll admit I'm *slightly* disappointed its not a completely new PMD game, but Rescue Team was still fun and being able to return to it with a fresh coat of HD paint sounds really nice.

I am getting expansion pass on both sword and shield but I can still express my frustration.
Yeah, with the removal of the GTS it will be a smooth experience for sure.
The Pass is $29.99 for each version of the game. It will include both Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra.
The only people that would be buying both Passes for each game would be those that bought each of the games.
I still like it better than the third version (B/W2 or US/UM games) they could have done for $59.99 each

I'm significantly happier about Pokemon than I have been in a very long time, I'm glad they decided to add back a good chunk of pokemon after all. Also...
You will never. EVER. Escape the genies.

Then you'd be wrong and making the weird assumption that this Nintendo season pass works differently to every other season pass Nintendo has had on switch.
Yeah sorry I misread what the original post said. I thought they meant $30 for both passes. My bad.
