Pokemon Sword and Shield Potential Leaks (Beware Spoilers)
- Thread starter Lady Bow
- Start date
Yes but the veterans are and by far the minority in the audience that buys Pokémon game.
It's not and I have no idea why people keep thinking it's in when the first trailer has already shown it's the traditional wild battles.
I could maybe buy that there's a localised area where roaming Pokémon can stupidly waddle like in Let's Go.
And raid battles could fit the soccer theme with grouping up with a bunch of friends to take down a Pokémon. Could work as a way to distribute rare Pokémon periodically.

If there are Pokémon on the field that would suck. It just made Let's Go feel more like a video game watching a bunch of Pokémon waddle around grass patches. It didn't feel right at all. The fact that people here were into that blows my mind. Pokémon benefits from random encounters. It genuinely adds something to the game.
If there are Pokémon on the field in sword and shield it better look less ridiculous than it did in let's go.

Give this to me. The damn Gamecube games did it just fine.
Literally. Basically every Pokemon game.
It's pretty stale and unimpressive now.
At most were getting branching paths and maybe a really big and wide "open" route like the late-game ones from Sun and Moon. That's it.
I still love random encounters, but I think having overworld encounters adds a lot of life to the game and that alone is exciting enough for me.
I'm just trying to figure out what the point of giantification would be? Increased stats? Just some extra attack?
Can't wait for the Machamp etc. X AoT crossover images!

I just thought about it, I hope the raid mechanic has no exclusive pokemon, because 10 years from now I doubt I'll find people to raid with if I'm replaying the game.
It's true......all of it
oof
This probably also needs a sword and shield added on.VR Plant Leaker Wins Again!
I stand by my original post. There was no reason to believe any of this was accurate after the initial trailer.
Apparently a fuckton of things got leaked and the trailer confirms them. Since there is a spoiler warning:
-Mega Evo style Dynamx called Gigantomax
-Cross Evolutions
-Gym Trials before Gym Battles
-3rd Evil Legendary
-Fire/Fighting Scorbunny?!
Cross Gen evolutions, like the good ol days. Think Gen 4.
"Some Pokémon like Farfetch'd will get regional evolutions like Sirfetch'd"
Madame was robbed again :(
Regional forms are the best thing to happen to Pokémon, after megas in years
Okay, so with new evolutions leaked for old Pokemon, I am even more convinced Corviknight is related to Skarmory
An evolution of Skarmory would be disgusting. Skarmory already has ridiculous stat distribution, it doesn't need even more stats
I think Corviknight is an evolution of a Pokemon that is also a pre-evolution of Skarmory. Like how Hitmonlee and Chan were retconned to be related via a pre-evolution.
Corviknight would have the same BST as Skarmory, but distributed to attack, while Skarmory stayed defense based.
Hated megas since only specific pokemon got them. Dynamaxing looked cool since its universal, but no there's special forms for specific pokemon again. That's lame.
