I need something to feed to my brain. Is there a spoiler free list of changes to returning Pokémon. Nerfed stats and abilities, new moves?
Edit: Found one, pretty good

Pokemon Sword and Shield discussion thread (spoiler-free) [see staff post]
- Thread starter TheEchosOfTheCyborg
- Start date
Of course, duh! I feel extremely stupid. Lol. That reminds me, I still need to buy the Digimon bundle for Switch.
With all this drama, is there actually a non-spoilery list of what's new and what's cut in SWSH? I wanna look at the facts and judge for myself but it seems like everything is so biased one way or another
I know people usualy use the digimon comparision to rag on pokemon design, but honestly some digimon designs would make fantastic Pokemon.
Like the full form of Zygrade is just Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, and its one of my all time favorites.

That's very broad, but let me give it a shot.
NEW:
- New Pokémon and alternate forms for some of the old ones
- New region and storyline
- New moves and abilities
- New items
- Dynamax
- Pokémon visible in the overworld
- Big, open area with free camera where you can catch Pokémon and play with friends
- Raids
- Camping and cooking
And more spoilery stuff I can't discuss here.
CUT:
- A bunch of old Pokémon
- Some old moves
- GTS
- Optional Exp. Share
- Mega Evolutions
- Z-Moves
Aaand probably something else, I can't remember now.
There are some truly fantastic Digimon. MetalGarurumon is one of the best.Metal Garurumon is probably more fitting :D
Heh, i actually like that, not a fan of techno myself, but it gives the Kalos region a very distinct flavour and i hope it does the same for Galar too
Game Freak changing the music genre depending of the continet the region is based on is genius in my book. You can have a playlist with the whole series' ost and never be bored.
I believe the mod message was that spoilers are okay as long as they are tagged. But maybe they can clarify that for you further.
Gen VII has 3 great starters and people saying Incineroar is bad are 100% objectively wrong. Don't @ me.
But seriously they may have done things wrong in this game but the pokemon designs are awesome.

I have to admit I didn't like Incineroar at first, but its personality won me over. It's easily the most charismatic starter ever.
And I'm sure most people, even the ones who are trashing the games, agree that the designs this gen are very, very good. Not just Pokémon, but also characters and the world in general.
Yes, but stuff we know about from official announcements or our own playthroughs isn't considered a spoiler per policy and doesn't need to be hidden behind a tag. In this non-spoiler thread we've had people linking to leaks, talking about leaks and giving their impression based on leaks. I haven't dipped into other threads for longer than a couple of seconds, but it seems like in, say, the thread about the GTS talking about other leaked information was in no way off limits?
Litten only became great with its final evo btw. Rudo luchador 4 life. The pokemon I broke with my no-fire-starter stance for and the cat was worth it.
Incineroar benefits a lot for being in Smash, I may be shit playing with him but his character is just so expressive. From taunt the oponents to his face when he grabs someone.
I do think people will talk about the leaks in the Review thread, but I do think they have to tag it. So if you want to completly avoid that talk I think it's best to only read OP with the scores/info etc.
I respect your choices, but you are wrong.Of all of these...
Best fire one is Infernape.
Best grass one is Decidueye.
Best water one is Greninja.
Fire - Charizard
Water - Swampert
Grass - Torterra
I didn't even choose Litten, but after seeing Incineroar, I was awfully tempted. It just oozes personality.
And I'm not sure they will even have to tag it. That'll be the difference between me just sticking to the OP or browsing the thread for the freshest reviews as those go up.
I almost 100% agreed but Best Fire Starter is still Charizard.Of all of these...
Best fire one is Infernape.
Best grass one is Decidueye.
Best water one is Greninja.
Agreed for Greninja and Decidueye.
Samurott is the undeniable greatest.
That grass starter from Gen 6 - can't even remember their name - is a crime against humanity.

I remember chosing it without seeing its final evolution.
Needless to say, I was not expecting that lol
Ferlagiratr and Typlosion have suffered the most with the new models. Look how they massacred my son:
If someone has curiosity in Competitive pokemon False Sweep Gaming is a very good chanel to watch. He makes analysis of the usage of Pokemon in all generations. Gen I was broken as hell.

You don't make the rules, you're just here spitting out the facts. I respect that.
That's actually the only starter Pokémon I really don't like.
It's such a shame because I love Chespin and I think Quilladin is hilarious, but Chesnaught is terrible.
Apparently mine was dispatched yesterday looking at Shopto, but they emailed me the other day saying they were sending it out from 13th and 14th so I'm guessing that last night they put it in a pile to be picked up today.
I love Chesnaught, but then again I'm a sucker for cream tones
Mine has been despatched by ShopTo but Royal Mail haven't received it yet according to the tracker. Not sure how normal that is considering it says it was sent at 5:41am.
Lucky you.
Its out in 35 hours for me, but i cant pick it up before my local gamestop opens, so i have to wait another 10 hours on top of that.
I kinda envy all of you who have midnight openings, they are literally illegal where i live.
I bought it digital, I just need to wait until midnight for the game to unlock!
Decidueye and Greninja are my favourite fully-evolved Grass and Water starters. I've never been as big on the Fire-types, but either Blaziken or Delphox (provided its posture is hunched over) would be my pick.
Their tracking is always pretty unhelpful, yeah.
Just received an email saying that the pre-order will now begin processing this evening, and will be sent out tomorrow.
Given that the pre-order said it was being processed yesterday until 10 minutes ago, forgive my skepticism. I'll be mightily annoyed if I don't get it by Friday.
